Second Chance Death
Rating : It PG13 some violence and bad language, maybe R later but I not sure,
Disclamers: Nothing of what is in this fic is mine, all is to the marvellous creators of the film " The Crow " and " The Crow City Of Angels ". I wrote it just for the pleasure, I do not make money with anything, in any event I would not think someone would like to pay me for that!
Author Notes: The Story is under the point of Sarah, this is after City Of Angels, but I change the end a little, as in the true scenario, Ashe does not turn over in " the best world " to find his son, he wanders on earth. Sarah turns over on earth and she want to be together with a person who is important to Thank you for your reviews ! I'm happy you like it. I decide to make one chapter Ashe pov, one chapter Sarh pov, when they will met, there will be only chapter for the two and there pov will be in the same chapter.
Chapter 3, A Church In The City Of Angels
Every night when I close my eyes the dreams come. That's how the dead talk to us, I guess. In the dark, when our souls are off wandering...
I just wish I understood what they were telling me.
All is turned true, the dreams I was making had became reality. I understood wthat deaths felt. While being one, I was trying to find a way less of suffering. I believe death give me a second chance, since I didn't be able to be reunite with the one I love. Judah had separated us, but not for long... I had never been able to tell him how I felt...

Flash
Ashe pushes through a curtain, turns towards my vanity -- SEES the knick-knacks and mementos gathered there, then SEES the ceramic irony mask which hangs above. Ashe approaches, reaching a hand out to trace its features. At the bottom of the mirror, a FADED POSTCARD has been tucked between the frame and the glass. Ashe pulls it free, studying it... CLOSE ON POSTCARD A carnival midway set on the beach, people strolling along a boardwalk, golden sand and blue skies. WORDS at the top of the picture read: "WISH YOU WERE HERE".
- I've been here said Ashe
Ashe stares at the picture, entranced, caught up in a moment of wistful nostalgia for the life he's lost.
I took Danny last summer. We went up on the bike, rode all the way up the coast...
(beat)
- It was cold up there. I remember we could see each other's breath.
Ashe catches himself, setting the postcard down. He turns his back to me, hiding his face form myself, overcome by emotion.
I was standing, drawing near. I was reaching out to console him, touching his
shoulder. I was alone, among all the souls of the world, understanding the
isolation that was consuming Ashe.
- Look at me. Ashe. Look at me. I said to him.
Ashe finally turns around, a sense of deep and profound loss in his
eyes...
Something unspoken passes between him and I. I leans into Ashe, tentative, eyes
searching. It's one of those fragile moments where things could go either way.
And then...
- No... We can't do this...
The spell has been broken. Ashe starts away from me.
- I have to finish what I started. I have to find the others.
End Flash
*********************************
Where could he be ? Maybe he was not in the city anymore , The City Of Angels. He could be anywhere. I passed in front of a small church, I was loving it when I was alive, I was not catholic, I didn't believe in religions, but inside this one, I could always find comfort. To entrust myself to people. Now it was impossible, how explain to someone that your death and you have come back to life ?
I decide to enter, inside, nothing had change, the benches of prayers were always twisted in the same way.. In the back of the room there was that table, full of candles and pictures of lost people. The Day Of The Death, was tomorrow, they light candles for the people they loved , for finding the way between this world and the heaven. I decide to light one, maybe this will guide me to Ashe…
I turned over and fall nose to nose with a priest.
- He was here.
I looked at him with a strange look, could he be talking about, Ashe ?
- You light this candle for him, he was there, a few minutes before you arrived.
- Do you know where he went ?
- He talk often about a appartment, the one of his lover I think, your ?
I thank him and start to run, maybe it was not too late, maybe Ashe was in my old était appartment, I had a chance to see him again...
