Memories
Hello again everyone! I bet you thought I gave up on this fic didn't you? Well, I haven't. I just haven't had the time to finish it. Yes, just so you know this is the final installment of the Memories fanfic, but I'm not going to leave you hanging with the ending I have here. (Smiles evilly) Unfortunately I have no idea when I'll be able to start the sequel to this. I don't know if anyone will want a sequel. (Sigh) Oh well, no need to dwell on those things now. On with the final installment of Memories.

Memories
Chapter 7: Home Again?
Flame watched in horror as Flicker and Count Geoffrey tussled about in the pouring rain. She watched as Flicker threw Count Geoffrey over the cliff and then ran to aid Flicker. He continuously whispered over and over again that he was a murderer, and that he didn't deserve to live. Flame tried to calm him but he refused to listen to her. All of the sudden Flicker jumped from his place on the ground beside her and lunged forward to his sword.
"FLICKER!! What in the world are you doing?" Flame yelled.
"I don't deserve to live Flame. I've killed a man under no circumstance. I will be hung for my crimes." Flicker called to her. He was gripping his sword tightly and shaking from head to toe.
"No Flicker you won't. You'll be praised as a hero! None of my father's knights could do what you have done! You have defeated my father's greatest foe!" Flame pleaded.
Flicker just shook his head and stepped closer to edge of the cliff. He looked down into the bottomless abyss and then back at Flame. Flame shook her head, silently pleading with him not to do what he was contemplating. Flicker sighed,
"Flame I love you but, I can't face the knights or the king knowing what I have done. You may think it a brave heroic act but all I did was take revenge for something I had no control over. I am a murderer Flame and I can't live with myself knowing what I've done!"
Tears came to her eyes as she pleaded with him,
"Flicker, please don't do it! I LOVE YOU!!"
Flicker looked into her eyes with so much love it hurt her to look directly into them.
"I know. I love you too," he whispered. He took a small step backward and whispered to her,
"I'm sorry," as he fell into the nothing below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
"FLICKER!!!!!!" Flame screamed as she sat up in bed. She was gasping for breath and pale as an albino rabbit. Flame put a hand to her forehead as she tried to burn the images from her mind. When she started to calm down she took in her surroundings. She was back in the palace, she was in Flickers room. Finally she remembered. She had come here to seek refuge but instead all she received was torment. The images of her past were forever burned into her memory. She had had this dream many times before but there was something odd about this one. Flicker had never told her that he loved her in the dream before, why now after all these years had the dream changed. He never her that the night he ran away either. He truly had only run away, but to her it was like he was dead, so her mind just made her dreams make it so. There were so many unanswered questions. Unfortunately for her, they would have to continue going unanswered for a while, because something was about to happen that would open up a whole new slue of questions.
As Flame sat there pondering over such matters another figure stepped into the room. He quietly walked over to Flame and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. Flame jumped at the touch of another being grasping her but when she turned around her eyes widened in awe and a little in fear.
"May I help you milady?" asked the all too familiar voice.
Flames words got caught in her throat, but finally she said the only word she could manage.
"FLICKER!?!?"
THE END of Memories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Well that's the end of Memories, but fear not faithful readers Flicker and Flame's tale doesn't end here. Oh no, there is more to this story. You'll just have to be patient and I'll get it out as soon as I can, but it is the final semester at school and prom is coming up. I just have so much to do. I also promised vixonl I'd co-write a Tail Concerto fic with her. SO that one's going to keep me busy for a while, but I promise I will not abandon this story line.
I left this open for a sequel anyway so if you hate the cliffhanger ending wait for the sequel. Love Ya'll Peace and God Bless
