A/N: Before I get started…….I want to make a note that is completely irrelevant to my story. You see, I know you shouldn't start things unless you plan to finish them, but I just want you to know that I might not be updating Love is Just a Game and The Glass Diamond for a while cause #1-They don't have much reviews and I want to concentrate on the ones that have the most and #2 I really want to update my top three stories more often than I have!! If you want to protest, just leave it in a review and I'll look. I might consider it!! But, I promise, one day….I WILL FINISH THEM!!! You have my word!!!
So….here you go the next chapter!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People bombarded the streets in front of the train station. There were too many elbows in her way and when she went to try and scratch her leg, the one she did was too hairy to be hers. The Christmas holidays had been rolling in and she figured everyone was rushing home to be with relatives and friends. The Duke had let Satine's hand slip from his grasp.
Her soft red hair nipped the noses of people in her way. Her elbows gabbed into the stomachs of those in her path of destruction. Luckily, her slim body was able to slip past all the stubborn people.
The platform slowly began to appear before her. Brass numbers shimmered on Satine porcelain face. She smiled, finally able to escape the misery of London and return to hr hometown of Paris. Perhaps the Duke would allow her to visit the Moulin Rouge; to see Harold, Toulouse, Marie, Satie, Nini, and all would give her such pleasure. Then again, there was one problem…Christian. What if her was still there? What a catastrophe that would be!
Satine held her bags tight and placed her right foot on the step, soon followed by the left. She trailed through the train until she found an empty compartment.
The Duke followed quickly behind her. He slipped his free arm around her waist and moved with her every body movement. She tried her best to keep her hands from prying off his old wrinkly ones.
"Is this compartment good, dear?" The duke asked in his infamous mouse-like voice that Satine had just about forgotten.
"Yes, dear Duke," Satine said, forcing a smile on her face. The Duke gently shoved her through the door and went in behind her. Satine sat down on the bench and didn't even hesitate to turn her head towards the window and look out.
A young boy with stringy black hair had his back to her. She sighed and thought of Christian, of his stringy black hair and of his goofy little smile. The boy never turned her way, he just slid past the people and ducked his head out of view. Satine figured he had just gotten off their train cause he was now heading towards the exit.
Eventually, the train gave a holler and was on it's way. Satine hadn't spoken to the Duke since they stepped on the compartment, being quite content with that, and then tried her best to keep it that way. Satine sat in her usual position, hand under her chin with her legs tucked beneath her. She was still amorously staring out the window.
The train sped past grassy landscapes and woody knolls. The night grew over the mossy parries and spread to the city. The stars glistened upon the trains sliver strips. By her side, the Duke was soundlessly sleeping. Satine, seizing the moment of peace, slipped from the compartment and to the back other train.
She stepped out and onto the platform. The railing protected her from slipping off the side. She could see the train moving steadily on the tracks below her. Satine's eyes slowly began to release tears. She was thinking of Christian, like she did often, but it was different this time, almost like she was sure she'd never see him again.
Somewhere out there
Beneath a pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christian's eyes were pulsated with burn. He had spent nearly half the night composing a song, with Satine in mind, to possibly put in a sequel book of his to Lost Love. He hummed a few bars, but slowly faded because his eyes could no longer stay dry. Tears leaked down his face as Satine appeared before him. Her graceful presence filled the air of where she had once stood, waiting to make love to him.
He closed his eyes to envision her more. The way her seductive 'sparkling diamond' crept over her pale façade. Her delicate lips were dressed in rose-red lipstick. Her flashy blue eyes danced around him to their song; "Come What May". Suddenly, Christian felt his urge to sing.
Somewhere out there
Someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
And that meets somewhere out there
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somehow, she knew Christian was feeling the same pain she was. Just urging her to sing on…
As Christian sang the same line with her……
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
Tears burned both their eyes. Neither had any idea how the other missed them so much that their heart always broke in two whenever thought of. Once again, they sang together.
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true, Satine Sang
Where dreams come true, Christian finished.
Tears now took complete control of their emotions.
"I love you, Christian," Satine whispered into the dark between choked sobs.
"I Love you, Satine," Christian whispered in the privacy of his Garret, also between heart-felt bawls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Satine buried her face in her hands and wept for a minute. She placed her tender hand on the rail and looked deep into the sky. The rusty rail slipped from her fingers and went to the ground with a crash, Satine in the path of total devastation and annihilation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christian sniveled for a long while, every once in a while, wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt. Never had the song meant so much to him, everyday I'm loving you more and more….it was true. Everyday without Satine in his life and everyday he body decayed more slowly, he missed her and he loved her.
Now, it would be even harder. Finding about her past and her life to write his sequel book. The pain would leak into his skin and heart and Christian was doubting that he would be able to deal, but he had to do it. Because, that afternoon, he had arrived in London…..
