Chapter Twenty-Five

It was coming to late afternoon and Ally had skated to every part of the city a number of times with nothing but her music to block out the bad thoughts that intruded into her mind. She felt like she was in a daze of sorts as always at this time of year, a daze that traps her in the thought of what life may have been like, had her and her family left her devil bred father and lived the way they wanted to. Her feet acted as some kind of carriage that took her away from the world she currently resided in and putting her back with her mother and sister.

Finally as the sun started to set she made her way through the city market and stopped at a flower stall and bought a dozen white roses. Placing her purse back in her backpack she took the flowers and carried on skating in the direction her feet were going. At last she came to a stop on the wooden boardwalk of the Domino bay as she remembered the task that she had come here to do. Tears began to roll down her face freely as they had been all day she sat on the nearest bench and removed her skates, replacing them with the shoes from her bag. Ally stood once again and looked out at the seawater "I guess this is it" she said in the quietest voice. Walking to the stairs that led to the sandy beach below, Ally walked over to the boat rental office and asked to borrow a boat for a small amount of time. The man saw the flowers and the redness of her eyes "Your saying goodbye to someone aren't you honey?" Ally nodded her head. The man pushed the boat to the water as Ally removed her shoes leaving them on the shore. She went to pay the man but he closed her hand back over the money "No need to pay dear, this one's on the house, take as much time as you need"

Thanking the man for his kindness, Ally put her bag and the flowers in the boat and pushed it out to sea as far as she could before her feet left the sea floor. Climbing into the boat, she placed the ores in their holders and rowed further out to sea.

Meanwhile, Yugi had searched high and low for any signs of Ally, after checking most parts of the city. Looking around the area of the city central park he was in he came to a small-benched area as he called her name "Ally!" Not hearing a reply he sat on one of the benches nearest to him. Holding his head in his hand, Yugi looked at the ground, there by his feet was a small white rose hair clip, the same as Ally wore in her hair for his birthday dinner party.

Holding it in his hand he sat up and thought "Come on Yugi think, where is the one place you haven't looked yet?" He remembered what Mona had told him this morning

"She'll probably be heading towards the bay"

With that in mind Yugi got up from the bench and ran towards the bay as fast as his legs would take him from the centre of the city. Within the next twenty-five minutes he was there on the wooden board walk "Ally! Where are you?" he called as he approached the end rail of the boardwalk.

He looked out over the sea, where he saw a small rowboat being rowed out to sea by a figure in white "Ally!" Yugi stayed put and just watched as she brought the boat to a stop.

Now in an appropriate place, Ally brought the boat to a stop, she heard something that sounded like a voice, but she was too far out to sea to tell. She opened her bag and pulled out the white casket.

As she held the casket in her hands she remembered that one fateful day that her Devil Dad had brought it home with a plack on the lid displaying the full names of her mother and sister. Her father wiped the fake tears from his face as he cackled. Turning to her with a smug grin on his digustingly dirty face he said "Now this is a reminder to you of what will happen if you ever try to escape me like these daft bitches did!"

Grinning briefly to herself at the stupidity of her father, Ally thought back to that one afternoon when she was 11, where her father had forbade her from going to school after a lashing he'd given her with his belt, he didn't want the teachers to find out. So after waiting a good hour after he'd gone to work, Ally grab the casket and the portrait of herself withher mother and sister and ran to nearest police station where she told the police of her whole horrible ordeal and the need to emancipate herself from her father's custody. Although the only evidence she had was the casket of her mother and sister's remains, as well as claiming to have witnessed it, Ally couldn't really prove the murder claim as the bodies of her mother and sister had already been cremated, although for the abuse and sexual assault, Ally had to go through a number of tests and showed the scars and burn marks on her back as well as providing the belt used that was still marked with her blood that she'd manage to get into a plastic bag.

Ally had always held an enormous guilt in her heart over her mother and sister's death, also for the fact that they had never had a proper funeral or memorial service to bid them farewell. So when she woke up this morning Ally knew exactly what she needed to do to put a part of her heart at ease.

She held their small casket close to her heart as she cried and said "I guess this is goodbye you two, I'm sorry, I don't have many more words that I can say other then I love you both and that I'm sorry for us ever being trapped by that mad man. It pains me to know you're not here with me, I pray that your waiting for me, when it's my turn to join you." Hugging the casket tighter she whispered "I'll miss you every day of my life" With those last words, Ally opened the lid of the casket and poured her mother and sister's ashes over the side of the boat and into the sea, the shadow of the ashes in the water, travelled out to sea as if they swam into the setting sun. The soft orange light of the sun shone off the water like precious gold, as Ally broke the petals off of the roses to place all of them in the water with her family's ashes.

As the ashes themselves had swum into the sun, so too did the rose petals as if they we're the essence of angels sent to escort the two, now freed, souls to heaven. As the last of the petals disappeared into the horizon, Ally sang 'arms of the angel' by Sarah McLachlan. The sound of her song echoed off the water and carried on the soft wind towards the city. Yugi just sat and watched the whole thing from the boardwalk where he stood; he could just about hear her faint singing and heard the sorrow in her voice as tears blurred his vision of the boat Ally was sitting in. All to soon the song finished, and Ally started to row the boat back into shore. Yugi ran to the stairs leading to the beach below and walked down them just in time to see Ally jump from the boat into shallower water as her cotton skirt flowed down gently into the water so she could push the boat in. The boatman helped her pull the boat in the rest of the way and she thanked him again for his kindness.

Walking towards the spot where she'd left her shoes Ally looked back out to sea. Her face emotionless as she watch the last of the sun disappear beneath the sea and give way to night fall, the newly risen moon's light dancing on the water. Tears still running down her face, Ally turned back to get her shoes when to her surprise, she saw Yugi standing there. His face covered in tears, eyes locked on her. The look of surprise soon faded back to the emotionless, drained stare at the floor as she sat in the sand in her half soaked sundress raising her head only slightly to look back out at the sea. As he sat in the sand beside her, Yugi didn't quite know what to do or say. Looking at her profile, Ally was just as much of a wreck as Mona had said she would be, completely drained emotionally, staring blankly at the sea, not a word nor sound was heard coming from her mouth, as tears continued to make their way down her face.

Not being able to hold back anymore, Yugi put his arms around Ally and pulled her to him, holding her tight "Why? Why do you do this?" he asked, she tried to pull away but he held on to her for dear life "No don't! Don't pull away from me, please"

Ally became still in his arms, not hugging back, not talking, not so much as a whisper left her as her tears ran silently down into the material of Yugi's school uniform.

"Please talk to me, Why do you do this by yourself?" he said, Ally just put her hand to his chest and whispered in the quietest voice "because I have to" and tried to pull away again, pushing her hand against his chest to push him away "I have to get home, let me go" she said, again in a voice barely audible, as if she as too tired to speak, so quiet he had to strain to hear what she said.

Pulling Ally back to him, he placed his hand on her face and turned it up so she would look at him "I'll take you home, I just want you to talk to me, I just want to help you" he said resting his forehead on hers as he saw the lack of emotion in her eyes.

Ally just looked back at him, Her eyes so red and swollen from crying, and her skin as pale as snow. She was exhausted, Yugi could tell that much "Where have you been all day? I've been worried" he asked her, hoping she'd talk to him.

She just kept looking back at him with those emotionless, hazel eyes and said, "I went back there" in her small and very quiet voice

"Where?" Yugi asked still looking at her face "I went to see them" Ally whispered as she looked back out to sea "and then I set them free"

Looking out to sea, Yugi said "So that's what you were doing" nodding gently against his shoulder, "Now they're gone" she whispered softly and then just stared out to sea as a fresh batch of tears came streaming down her face "They're really gone". Again she pushed against Yugi to get away from him "I have to go now, there's nothing left to stay for"

Yugi, still holding on to Ally, turned her face back to look at him "They're not really gone Ally, they're still with you, your mom and sister are still here" when he said that Ally looked up at him.

Stroking Ally's face gently with his hand, Yugi continued "You show that they are with you all the time, when you dance and sing, In the way you talk to people and you want to know something else" Ally still looked at him in surprise, He pulled Ally closer and placed his lips near her ear as he whispered "I couldn't thank them enough for creating you if only for me to meet you" he heard Ally gasp as he kissed her on the cheek.

Ally pulled back to look at Yugi, her tired eyes looking questioningly at him as she saw the look on his face "How do you do that?"

Stroking the back of her head he said " do what?"

A little scared of this connection with him she asked shakily "How is it you know how to bring me out of my nightmares?" With that Yugi inched closer to Ally whispering "because I have something that's a lot stronger than your nightmares"

"What's that" Ally whispered back. Yugi closed the small space between them, capturing her lips with his in a tender kiss. He felt Ally gasp as he kissed her, but then she gave in to him, kissing him back and wrapping her arms around him.

Finally they broke apart and he whispered "my love for you is stronger than any nightmare"

He stood and help Ally to her feet "Promise me something" Yugi said as he held Ally to him resting his forehead on hers "What?" Yugi looked at her with all seriousness on his face " Please stop running from me when your upset, seeing you that broken today, it hurt me deeply" Ally saw the love in his eyes and said softly "it's a promise" and with those last few words, Yugi kissed her sweetly on the lips. They walked back towards home hand in hand, not letting go of each other for anything in the world.
