Lost Souls

Two lovers died in the past but never proclaimed their love to each other.  Now their souls were trapped in the castle for a hundred years……until now………

Prologue

A teenage girl with long straight brown hair and amber eyes stood in the shadows waiting for the person to arrive.  She was very nervous…never in her life had she ever broken rules just to see a person at midnight.  She peeked around the corners only to be met with an empty hallway that was lite by the torches hanging on the wall.  She sighed thinking he wasn't going to show up.  She was pulling up her cloak back on when a hand covered her mouth stifling her scream.

"Shh…its only me." A husky voice said and she immediately relaxed.  He slowly slide his hand odd her mouth and turned her around so she could face him.  He had blond hair and blue eyes that made him look so innocent but she knew he was a bad boy and also knew he would also be her knight and shining armor.  She looked into his eyes lovingly and he did as well…but he never said it.

"I started to think you wouldn't show…I was-" she was silence when he placed his finger over her soft luscious lips.

"You know I would never leave you."

"I know."

"So why doubt me?"

"The way our families are."

Immediately his eyes hardened and she began to get scared.  "Yes.  Our families.  How could they do this to us!!!!"

The girl put a comforting hand on his chest and he relaxed slightly.  "Do not speak loud we shall get caught."

"But-"

"I know.  What happened in the past hundreds of years, they still hold it against themselves and ruin our lives.  I share your pain and anger, believe me I do."

"They have forced us to keep our relationship a secret and I cannot keep this up any longer." The edge to his voice came back as he curled his hands into a fist.

"Shuyin…do not do anything drastic.  We cannot let them know…you know of what my Father shall do.  I don't want to see you hurt…if something happen to you I don't have a reason to live." Tears stung her eyes and he leaned forward and gave her a deep passionate kiss.  When they pulled apart they breathed heavily, love showing in each other's eyes.

"Lenne…come I want to show you something." Said Shuyin as he took her hand and led her deeper into the castle, to parts she never even knew existed or known.  Finally after what seemed like forever, they stopped in front of a wooden door.  Lenne looked up at him confused but all he did was smile as he pushed the door in and let her in.  Lenne's breath was suddenly taking away.  The room was decorated with a maroon color.  The fireplace was light and was blazing away as it reflected off the walls.  The couch was a deep forest green color, the mini table had a basket of wine with strawberries and grapes and behind was a large king sized bed.  "You like it?"

"Love it?  Shuyin I love it!" She exclaimed jumping into his arms and giving him a very passionate kiss that almost suffocated them both.

"Good.  I wanted this to be special…for you."

"I already feel special when I'm with you."  Shuyin slide his arms onto her slender waist as she reached up and put her arms around his neck.

"This is a special night just for you and me."

Lenne smiled.  "I have a new song for you to hear."

Shuyin smirked swinging her around and she shrieked in glee.  He placed her down and plopped down on the couch, as she stood in front of him ready to sing her song.  To speak the truth he loved it when she singed, she sounded like and angel and her songs relieved him from all his anger and pain.

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark,

For the traces of love you gave to my lonely heart

To be together as an amazing grace

Melodies of life-this is how its meant to be

            Lenne smiled as she saw his eyes shown with anxiety.  She loved him but the problem is she didn't know how to say it.

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why.

We met, we laughed, we held on fast, but soon we'll say goodbye.

And who will hear, of our stories untold,

While our voices ring out with joy?

            Shuyin was somewhat shocked that she was singing this song.  'She must have had another one of those dreams…' he thought as she kept singing holding out her hand as if she was afraid he might leave.  He reached out and grabbed her hand.

In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.

Though you're fading fast, I can barely see you anymore.

But I still believe that you will call out my name.

 A voice from the past joining yours and mine,

Adding to the layers of harmony.

And so it goes, on and on.

Melodies of life,

To the sky beyond flying birds-forever and beyond.

            A tear slips down her cheek and she wiped it away hastily not wanting to show him that she was becoming weak, when she needed to be strong.  But he noticed but didn't let fear shine in his eyes instead he kept it clear.

So far and away, see the birds as it flies away.

Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky,

I've laid my memories and dreams on those wings.

Let them shine and lets see what tomorrow brings.

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?

Was it fate that brought us close and now is leaving me behind,

A voice from the past, joining your and mine.

Adding up the layers of harmony.

And so it goes, on and on.

Melodies of life.

            Lenne was now sitting on his lap her arms around his neck, speaking in a very soft voice now.  She had a feeling that something bad was going to happen soon and she wanted this night to last a life time.

If I should leave this lonely world behind,

You voice will still remember our melody.

Now I will carry on.

Melodies of life.

Come circle and round and grow in our hearts,

As long as we remember.

            Shuyin looked into her eyes worriedly.  "Lenne why such a sad song?"

            She leaned on his shoulder and began crying.  "I had another one those dreams…they are much stronger than before.  Something terrible is going to happen to us Shuyin…I don't want to lose you!!!"

            "You won't.  As long as I'm with you, even after death, I will fine.  As long as I'm with you…and nothing not even family can separate us."

            "…Shuyin…I…I-"

            Shuyin reached into his robes and pulled out a square box and handing it to her, she was to worked up to even mutter a thank you but Shuyin knew she was.  She opened it and gasped.  There was a necklace that had a lion with green eyes.  She looked up and saw that he wore the exact one except it had a serpent with ruby eyes.  He took the necklace and put the two necklaces together and it glowed a faint white glow, and then disappeared.  "What did you do?"

            "When I put them together it shows the connection we have towards each other.  White means lo…you know, purple is envy, blue jealousy, red anger and pink is fear.  That why whatever yours glows, mines glows the exact same as yours…and that'll let you know that I will come running."

            "Shuyin I love it!!!" she exclaimed.  They stared into each others eyes until their lips met that gave off lust, love and joy.  Their necklaces glowed whiter that the light seemed to be blinding them.

            Shuyin picked her up and carried to the bed and laid on top of her, them two still wrapped up into each other as they tore each other's clothes off.  Shuyin broke off the kiss as he lowered himself and she gasped as her inside muscles tightened.  Shuyin feared he did something wrong but Lenne just reached for his lips again as he thrust into to her and she moaning in pleasure.

THREE MONTHS LATER……

            Screams could be heard in the room as the man struck her across the face and the girl fell to the flour beaten and scared.  "Daddy please!!!!!" she screamed as the silver cane struck her on her spine and she screamed again.

            "Child I tell you over and over!!!!  Do not associate with filth, especially that Jones boy and you disobey me!!!!" her Father shouted as he kicked her in the stomach and she moaned in pain.  Her Father came to the school when he heard his daughter having a relationship with Shuyin and when he tried reasoning with her…well that did not work out so well.  She kept screaming as she received more blows to her body.  They were inside the school, in the same room where Shuyin and Lenne made love.  As he was about to strike her again the door slammed open to reveal a very angry Shuyin.

            Shuyin looked into her Father's eyes, his baby-blue eyes were now a dark blue.  "Get.  Away.  From.  Her." He said threw clenched teeth.

            Lenne's Father smirked.  He was about to raise his wand but Shuyin bet him to it.  "EXPELLIARUS!!!!" Lenne's Father soared across the room and into the stonewall making him black out.  Shuyin's eyes lowered to Lenne's beaten form and softened as he rushed to her.

            "Lenne," he whispered as he cradled her.  "Lenne…"

            "Shuyin."  He smiled and bent down and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.  He helped her stand up as the embraced each other afraid to let go.  Lenne was smiling, as she smelled the faint smell of his autumn cologne on him.  But her smile slowly disappeared as she watched her Father run towards Shuyin with a dagger in his hand.

            "NO!!!!" she yelled as she spun her self around and received the piercing pain soaring throughout her body.  Shuyin's eyes widened as he held onto her while she slowly slumped to the ground, she still in his arms except her eyes were closed.

            Tears ran down his face as he picked up his wand from the ground and pointed at Lenne's Father who was shocked at what he done.  "You.  You took away the most important thing from me…and now I will repay you…with your life.  Avada Kedevra."

            Lenne's Father fell to the floor dead.  Silently crying he pulled the dagger out of her figure and slit both of his wrists.  Shuyin lay next to her figure; hand in hers while with the other hand stroking her silky hair.  "Like I said…nothing can keep us apart…not even death…" minutes passed as his eyelids drooped and faded into the world of darkness.            

Author's Note:

            So how was this chapter?  I know it's a little bit dramatic but before anyone asks this is taking place a hundred years before Hermione and the other characters existed.  This chapter is sad isn't it…but the more interesting it will be in the future.  You can also check out my other stories Everlasting Memories and Final Fantasy that is currently postponed ( Final Fantasy that is) because somebody deleted it from my disk so I'm currently working on it and I've been really busy.  So anyways tell what you think of this story.  Bye!!!!!
