The Witch I Love
^^^^^^^^^^^
Calley sat silently on the box which contained her spell books. She looked around the room she had lived in for only a month, and thought back on all that had happened. 'I murdered somebody. But I did it to avenge Laura, and he would've killed Hannah if I hadn't, so it's okay, right?'
"Calley, it's time to go!" Hannah yelled from downstairs. "I'm coming, Hannah!" Calley yelled back as she stood up, surveyed the room one last time, and went downstairs, her boxes of things magically following her.
She stood outside next to her XTerra. She stiffled a yawn and asked, "Why do we have to leave in the middle of the night?"
"Less chance of them coming after us. They're still nursing their wounds," Hannah said as she loaded all the boxes in her Suburban. "Okay, that's it. Follow me in your car. We'll stop about 9:00 for some breakfast, and then we'll keep going until we reach Washington D.C. We should arrive about 8:00 tomorrow night. We'll be fine without any sleep, just drink this potion I made," she handed Calley a bright blue container, "and you'll be able to go on."
Calley's head popped up. "I sense something or someone," she said. She looked, and she could see a long brown braid go around the corner of the house.
"Me too. We should leave now," Hannah said as she climbed into the Suburban and reved the engine to life. Calley did the same as she climbed into her car and started it up. 'I know you're out there Trowa, and I just want to let you know, I did love you.'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Trowa watched the two cars drive away before he let his head pop over the bushes. He had heard Calley's thoughts. 'I love you too, Calley. We just could never be together.'
"Why aren't you going after her, Trowa?" a normally silent voice said from behind him.
"I don't know Heero. I guess because my head is telling me it could never work out," Trowa said sadly as he looked at the trail of dust left by the cars.
"If there's one thing I've learned during two hundred years of life, it's to act on your emotions. Follow her," Heero said.
"I don't even know where she's going," Trowa said as he looked away from his best friend. "I'll just wait until everybody has gotten over everything that's happened, and then I'll go look for her."
Heero sighed. "Once a procrastinator, always one."

25 YEARS LATER
Hannah slammed the door to the apartment they owned on Massachusetts Avenue. They had a clear view of the nation's capital from Calley's window. "Calley, I'm home!" She could hear the vibrations of "Love Shack," which had been Calley's all time favorite song in the 20th century, through walls.
"If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at, Ooo love baby, that's where it's at
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies! The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So come on and bring your jukebox money.
Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder sugar!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can't hear you
Bang bang! On the door baby
Bang bang! On the door
Bang bang! On the door baby
Bang bang!
Your what?... Tin roof, rusted!
Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack!"
"CALLEY, get your ASS in here now, I need to talk to you!" Hannah yelled as she pounded on Calley's door.
"I'm coming!" she yelled as she shut off her jukebox and exited her room.
"Sit down. Let's have a drink," Hannah said as she poured a martini from the mini bar that had come with the apartment. She looked over at her baby sister, who looked extremely tense.
"What do you want, Hannah?" Calley asked annoyidely.
"WELL, EXCUUSE ME? Dare I bother the most powerful witch in the universe?" Hannah asked sarcastically. The phrase, however, didn't go unnoticed by Calley.
"Most powerful witch in the universe? What do you mean by that?" Calley asked her sister, who just looked at her like she said the sun had set.
"Nothing, I'll tell you in a minute. Anyways, what I called you in here to tell you about is that I met a guy, an immortal warlock, none the less," Hannah said, her face busting with smiles.
"That's great Hannah! When are you moving out?" Calley asked with a mischevious look on her face.
Hannah looked aghast. "Ready to get rid of me so soon? I move out next Thursday, thank you very much. We've bought a house in Alexandria, and the wedding is in three months."
"Starting soon, are you. Now, what were you saying about the most powerful witch in the universe?" Calley asked accusingly.
"That's the talk in the wiccan world. You're the oldest and the most powerful," Hannah said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Ever since the incident in Louisiana, you've thrown yourself into witchcraft. I'm worried about you."
"I'm fine, Hannah. Don't worry. You have to admit, I've been getting out a lot more lately."
"Well, yeah..."
"So don't worry!"
"But you're my baby sister. I have every right to be worried about you."
"Yeah, well don't! I'm okay! I survived that night 25 years ago!" Calley said as she walked into her bedroom and slammed the door.
Hannah watched as the door slammed. 'It's not the surviving I'm worried about Calley. It's the toll it took on your health that I'm worried about.'
****************************************************************************
3 MONTHS LATER- THE UNDERGROUND (A nightclub in D.C.)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The music was deafening, the temperature hotter than an oven, and the pulse roaring. It was a typical Friday night at THE UNDERGROUND, the nightclub/bar where the members of the Hell's Angels coven got together every Friday to drink, dance, and discuss going-ons in the wiccan world.
"This meeting of Hell's Angels has now come to order," Ana, a witch from17th century plantation era, said. "Is there any new business?"
"No, there isn't any, Anabella, but there is something I'd like to discuss," Calley said.
"Hannah is expecting a baby this fall."
The five girls gasped. An immortal was finally having another baby! It hadn't happened since Kristen, a British witch who had once been a member of Hell's Angels, had ran off with a werewolf from Spain.
"Well, on a deeper note," Allie, a witch from Canada who had recently migrated due to persecution in her village, said, "I sense vampiric activities around the city. I can't pinpoint which section, but it's definently here."
Calley gasped. "Not here, in D.C.? You have to be mistaken. "
"I most certainantly am not."
"But I thought this was a safe place to live," Calley said, dismayed. "I guess I'll be moving again."
"No you won't. Whatever this force is, we'll fight it all together. You are, may I remind you, the most powerful witch in the universe."
"I guess you're right."
****************************************************************************
"So you see her yet?"
"Which one is she? Her hair has grown out."
"She looks DAMN sexy!"
"DUO!"
"But, babe, no one is sexier than you."
"I like her outfit, red spaghetti strap shirt, black dress pants, hair in half-cornrows, silver glitter under the eyes, red thigh high boots, I give it a 9 1/2."
"Go talk to her!"
"No."
"Why not? You've waited for 25 years."
"I can hear her thoughts, and I'll wait for 25 more until I approach her if I have to."
"Baka."
****************************************************************************
CHRISTMAS, 50 YEARS LATER
"Open your gifts Laura!"
The three year old toddler started to yank at the ribbon holding her packages together. When it was finally ripped apart, she laughed and giggled and pulled the rubber ducks out of the box. "Thank you Aunt Calley!"
Just at that moment, the doorbell to the flat rang. "I'll get it!" little Laura said as she jumped up and padded out the room and down the hall.
"Hannah, any more and I just can't handle them. I know you two have successfully gotten five old enough and out of the house, but Laura better be the last!" Calley warned with a smile on her face.
"Oh hush. Until you become a mother you just don't understand," Hannah said with a grin as she held Josh's hand and leaned into his chest.
At that moment, Laura ran back into the room. "Aunt Calley, there's a man here to see you."
Calley scooped up Laura into her arms and said, "Well, let's go see that man." Laura giggled as she settled into her favorite position. They went to the door, and Calley opened it.
At the door stood Trowa.
Calley just looked at him. "Laura, be a good girl and go sit with your mother. I'll be along in a minute," she said as she put the three year old toddler down. Laura ran off back down the hall.
"There you are
In a darkened room
And you're all alone
Looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand in the shadows
Come to me, Come to me
Can't you see that
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
so bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
and I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don't you let me love you
Can you hear my voice
Do you hear my song
It's a serenade
So your heart can find me
And suddenly your flying down the stairs
Into my arms, baby
Before I start going crazy
Run to me, Run to me
Cause I'm dying
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
so bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
and I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don't you let me love you
I want to feel you deeply
Just like the air you're breathing
I need you here in my life
Don't walk away, don't walk away
don't walk away, don't walk away
No, no, no, no
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
Nobody wants to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
I don't want to cry
My body's longing to hold you
I'm longing to hold you
so bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
and I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely so why
Why don't you let me love you
Why don't you let me love you
Why, oh why, why, why, why, why
Nobody wants to be lonely
I don't want to cry
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
so bad it hurts inside
Nobody wants to be lonely
I don't want to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry"
Calley looked at him. "Trowa, what are you doing here?"
"I miss you, Calley, and I love you. It doesn't matter what happened 50 years ago. That's ancient history. I love you. Will you be mine?"
She couldn't believe her ears. Here was the man she loved, standing here telling her he loved her.
"Oh Trowa, I love you too," Calley said as she flung her arms around his neck. "But there are some people I want you to meet," she said as she took his hand and led him into the living room.
"Hannah, I do believe you remember Trowa?"
