pretty sure only a few of you will recognize the band...they're emo/indie rock, teehee ^-^
Awesome band if ya luff emo...)
Sick in her Skin
Song by The Get Up Kids
Baby Delilah...
Sick in her skin
Out on the highway, livin' for nothing...
But him
The red-haired woman stared out the window, her violet eyes sparkling as she reminisced about
her past. Alanna of Trebond and Olau pulled herself up from the chair she had been sitting on,
and took a glance at her sleeping fiancé. He mumbled something in his sleep, and turned himself
over. Alanna tip-toed quietly out of the room, and shut the door softly.
The same old song
His absence, she defends
The lady knight sat in the gardens of the Palace, quietly thinking. An unseen tear glittered and
fell out of her eyes as she smiled in sad acceptance.
*Alanna squeezed his hand. "Thank you for taking care of me, Jon."
He reached over to brush a strand away from her face. Suddenly, his was very close. Alanna
discovered she was afraid to breathe. Carefully, almost timidly, Jonathan kissed her mouth.*
Alanna's body now shook with wet, choked sobs. Why did Jon have to be such a self-centered
idiot?
On and on and on forever, she says...
"He should still be here..."
She knew she wanted him still; oh, she needed him. But that was impossible. Jon was engaged to
Thayet, who would be a proper Queen. The blue-eyed king didn't need a hot-tempered wife who
wouldn't be there all the time. Still...
Hooks in her heart
Escape if you can
Clear out the room and open a window,
I'll fly in.
...she wanted him so bad. He wouldn't get out of her mind, haunting her with every waking
second that passed. Things...just didn't work out. She was engaged to George, Jon to Thayet. It
wouldn't be right to think these thoughts.
Blood on the table
She made up her mind
All of the talks we had were nothing
But I tried
Suddenly, Alanna heard a noise. Her purple eyes darted over to the shadow, and her hand flew to
her dagger's hilt, ready to grip it just in case. Once she saw who it was, however, she bowed her
head and looked away.
"Hi, Jon."
It's overwhelming them
His absence she defends
On and on and on forever, she says....
"Alanna..." Jon paused, as if unsure what to say. Alanna chanced a look at him, then wished she
hadn't. He looked beautiful in the moonlight; his hair had a weird bluish sheen to it, and his eyes
sparkled with the same light.
"Please, Alanna...stop crying," he whispered, sitting next to her and taking her gently into his
arms. However, the lady knight pulled away.
"No..." she whispered, trying with all her strength to ignore his begging eyes. "I-I'm sorry
Jon...but..."
...It's all over now....
"...we can't...it's not right...you have Thayet, and I have George. Please don't make this so
difficult on me!" she begged, new tears springing into her eyes.
...it's all over now...
Jon nodded, but pressed on. "Alanna, just know this. I will always love you, no matter what.
Thayet, I love her too, but I definitely love you more. And I'll always hold that place in my heart
for you, even if we can't be together."
...it's all over now...
Alanna nodded, and he hugged her tight. When she looked up at him; blue meeting violet, he
pressed his lips to hers gently, one last time.
...it's all over now...
"Goodbye, my sweet Champion..." Jon whispered as she got up and walked away from him, from
his love.
On and on and on forever, she says...
"He should still be here..."
