Me: HULLOHULLOHULLO
Finn: -facepalm- She just had a stick of chocolate. I'm sorry in advance.
Me: Merry Christmas!
Finn: Not everyone celebrates Christmas.
Me: Don't be such a narc.
Finn: A WHAT
Me: Wait until you see what this Song Fic is about.
Finn: Wait. What?
Me: Hopefully you've read the most recent Kingdom Keepers, because you've had several months to do that. Pick up the pace, people!
The Black Knight: None shall pass!
Gandalf: What.
Me: What are you doing here? Get out! This is SONG FICS! Not Character Academy! Out! Out!
The Black Knight: -disappears-
Gandalf: Do I still have to-
Me: Yes.
Gandalf: -disappears-
Finn: What is this fic about?
Me: You'll see.
Blunt the knives and bend the forks, smash the bottles and burn the DISCLAIMER!: I don't own Adele, James Bond, or anything like that. I don't own the Kingdom Keepers series or the characters in it. I'm still trying to forge Ridley Pearson's signature for that. Okay, read on. Don't hate me for this.
Skyfall
Finn gripped onto Storey Ming's porcelain hand. Her hands were cold to match the chilly wind that swept over the deck of the ship. How had it come to this? Finn looked left. Blocked! Finn looked right! Even more so.
This is the end.
Hold your breath and count to ten.
The ship rocked lazily in the water, swaying him slightly. How was he to get out of this one? No sight of the other DHIs or in fact anyone at all, besides Storey Ming and himself. He took a deep breath, his brain defaulting from coming up with a plan.
"Finn?" Storey pleaded, looking around. He could hear her heavy breathing. The wolves crept closer, barking and howling.
Feel the earth move and then…
Hear my heart burst again…
For this is the end.
"I'm thinking!" Finn whispered harshly. He now heard yells. His heart soared when he heard his friends' familiar voices. His heart fell and plummeted off of a cliff when the wolves snapped at their heels. He hung onto his ladder rung.
His friends would not make it in time to save them. He had to do something. But what?
I've drowned and dreamt this moment.
So overdue I owe them.
Swept away I'm stolen.
He thought back to first accepting his job as a DHI, and how fighting Malificent had become his life. He could have simply given up. He could have left the job and become a normal kid at a normal school, and his mom….
He swallowed the tennis ball of grief lodged in his throat. His mistakes. All his mistakes. Suicide was an option. It had been. Always will be, too. And suddenly, an idea grew on Finn. He had no choice but to take action upon it.
Let the skyfall.
When it crumbles…
We will stand tall…
Face it all…
Together.
Let the sky fall…
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Skyfall.
Finn had let Storey Ming's hand go a while before, but he took it confidently now. He jumped over the wolves' heads, now standing at the edge of the cruise ship. The water rippled below. Finn could see his reflection. It showed him a broken boy. A broken boy who would always have a broken mind.
"You can't be serious," Storey said.
"Do you have a better plan? Because hearing that would be really nice right now…" The wolves began to run to them. Their paws scratched on the wooden floorboards. 'This is the end', Finn thought.
Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark.
The wolves got closer. If he timed it just right, his friends would come in, long enough for his eyes to say goodbye. If he didn't… the goodbyes would be the mangled howls of the wolves.
You may have my number
You may take my name.
But you'll never have my heart.
He heard their footsteps as a wolf tore off the ankle of Finn's jeans. Time to go. He pushed Storey Ming, so at least the Imagineer would live. He stumbled and fell as well. His sneakers twisted him around to see as he saw one person and one person only.
Amanda.
Let the sky fall.
When it crumbles…
We will stand tall…
Face it all
Together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles…
We will stand tall…
Face it all together
At Skyfall.
Her beautiful eyes glistened with the oncoming tears. The blood rushing as he fell slighted his hearing. He saw her mouth open and her vocal chords rumble as she screamed out for him. He could only imagine what she was thinking as he fell. He wanted to tell her he was sorry for being such a jerk, to hug her one last time, but the time for that had past. It had past before he came onto the cursed cruise ship.
Where you go I go.
What you see I see.
His sight fell past the deck. It suddenly hit him how far he had to go before the water. He saw Storey and managed to grab onto a flailing limb, her arm. He took her hand tightly as the cold wind burned his eyes. He caught a glimpse of her eyes looking at him in horror, but also a sort of peace inside.
I know I'd never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm.
Put your hand in my hand and we'll stand.
The water was much closer now. Finn figured he couldn't die from this. Not by crashing into the ocean.
Let the sky fall.
When it crumbles…
We will stand tall…
Face it all
Together
Let the sky fall
When it crumbles…
We will stand tall…
Face it all
Together
At Skufall
And then it came. The water wasn't too cold. It was dark from what Finn felt. The salt burned his pores. He felt Storey's warmth slip from his hand. He yelled and his arms swiped to find her. She was gone, he was alone.
Let the sky fall…
Air bubbles formed instead of his voice, interrupting the silence of the ocean. How calm it was underwater. No wolves. No Chernabog. No Maleficent. Just Finn and the water swirling around his ears.
We will stand tall…
He felt his body sink lower and lower as his lungs screamed for air. Any sign of life was beyond Finn's touch and mind.
At Skyfall…
Finn felt himself brush against the sand and then he knew no more.
Me: Well that was utterly depressing.
Finn: Did you kill me?
Me: Probably not.
Finn: PROBABLY?
Me: Oh yeah, sorry if there was book continuity errors. I haven't read it since it came out like forever ago and I'm too lazy to google what happened. There were wolves. I think.
Finn: Wow. So now you're Song Fics involve killing me. In the last one you said-
Me: I know.
Finn: But I'm-
Me: I know.
Finn: So why-
Me: Because it's fun!
Finn: …
Me: …
Finn: You're messed up.
Me: How long have you known me? And you're just now figuring this out?
Finn: You… -looks back at story-
Me: Yeah.
R&R? Yeah, it's depressing. I know. I'll try to make the next one as cheery as possible. Like a parade or something. Would you like that? A parade? I mean… it's not what I usually do, but whatevssss…. Okay, see you next time! Or I will cut you in half with… A HERRING. Sorrynotsorry.
