Larka's Decision
Disclaimer: I don't own The Sight or any of its characters. The lyrics are from My Immortal by Evanesence
This is a story that fits around the lyrics (in bold italics) to My Immortal. If you want to listen to the song while reading it (I hope this works) go to (sorry, link not avaliable, I'll get it up soon) and just play the movie. Ok, enjoy, and please reveiw.
Larka sighed as she viewed the valley where the wolves had hidden. This is a pointless war she thought as she watched a lone leaf fall to be carried off by the wind. It was pointless after Fell drowned.... she sighed again as she thought. No...I must go on...for my brother Fell...for the others...I must go on...or else I'll be haunted my whole life.... I will brave the Valley of the Dead.... She then added as an afterthought, Fell will be there....
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
If you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
Why can't I just forget? He's gone, lost, both of them, gone.... She remembered the dreadful roaring of the river, Fell's claws skittering, his last desperate cry....She shook her head violently to rid it of the memory, which was quickly replaced by another.... Burning, flames dancing like death, engulfing Kar, his last desperate call, "You must survive, for all of us now. For life itself!"
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time
Cannot erase
You'd cry I'd wipe away all of your tears
You'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I hold your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
She whimpered softly, desperately wishing they could be here with her, her friends. She needed them, just like they had needed her countless times in the past. The pact...it was broken now...she couldn't protect them...they couldn't protect her....
She lifted her muzzle to the stars, and found the Wolf's Trail sparkling across the black veil. All those happy times together.... Morgra destroyed them when she cursed us.... "There is always hope, sister, never give up." Fell had told her that once, so many years ago...before her passed on to Tor and Fenris....
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all of the sanity in me
Larka could still hear their voices, remember their faces. She shook her head hard again. Why can't I forget this? I have to be ready for the Valley of the Dead.... But she knew she didn't want to go, to see all the wolves from times before there...to be reminded when she saw Kar and Fell...that they couldn't come back with her, would never be back with her....
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time
Cannot erase
You'd cry id wipe away all of your tears
You'd scream id fight away all of your fears
I hold your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
Wanting them back won't bring them back...nothing will bring them back.... Yet the reality still wasn't sinking in. She still wanted to talk to her brothers, ask them for advice, for comfort. They aren't here anymore, get that already!
I've tried so hard to tell myself that your gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
No, another, calm voice replied, they may not be here in the flesh, but as long as you remember, they will never truly leave you. Only if they are forgotten and left behind will they be truly lost.
You'd cry id wipe away all of your tears
You'd scream id fight away all of your fears
I hold your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
Larka accepted the voice's reasoning, and swore to herself, Kar, Fell, I will never forget you. Then when I join your travels on the Wolf's Trail, you'll still know me, and I'll still remember you.... Wish me luck, brothers, because now...now there's no turning back.
Wow, I'm getting better at this as I go! Please reveiw!
