I am evil! cackles yep, after some of you people read this, life wont be worth comprehending for me. I'm going to have to go into hiding just to avoid you all…hmmm… I made Mary-Lynette happy, just not in a way y'all probably would have liked.
Maybe I should have killed David and Gillian off instead, no one seems to like them, but that would have made less sense. And sense is very hard to come by when you're me.
Everyone watched in blank amazement as Jez Redfern walked through the mansion, alight with blue flame, any enemy that got in her way was set alight, blue slivers of electricity lighting their bodies, dead on the floor. It almost wasn't fun, Jez thought, when it was so easy to win. But being that powerful, knowing what she could do… she looked at Thierry, who was frowning at her.
"Oh, come on Thierry!" she cried out, "they were going to get away with Illiana, it didn't matter, if I risked myself if she was gone. And I saved her, didn't I?"
Reluctantly, he smiled, "yeah, I guess you're right Jezebel," she glared at him and he quickly corrected himself, "Jez."
There was a thundering noise, and Jez turned, ready to fight, only to come face to face with Rashel and her team, looking forlorn, she didn't know what to say to them, so she turned away to see Lupe, running up the corridors, "Thierry!" she panted out, "We found out how they could get Illiana," a split second pause, "Slaughter. Some of our best agents: gone. They fought, but we weren't expecting it, and they used wooden bullets."
Thierry ran his hand through his hair, a look of anguish passing on his face, and Jez thought how unfair it was that a guy who couldn't have looked older than nineteen was having to make all these decisions, but he was hardly young, he'd been around thousands of years, had seen a lot of death "Guards…or…?"
"Guards were fought, the humans were shot or bled dry, any vampires were stakes. The upper floors are absolutely full of bodies," Lupe looked down, then looked back up, "it was mostly the soulmate suites, we're actually really lucky that they," she nodded her head towards Rashel's team, "had already left."
Thierry sighed, knowing perfectly well that their were still some soulmates left in their suites, "casualties?"
Lupe shook her head, "I couldn't tell you them all even if I knew, Thierry. It would take all day. Those left behind: Ina Travis, Amid Redfern, Leon Harman, Ayia Wian, Lia Wigan, Paine Roberts, Blair Loison and Mary-Lynette Carter," she paused, "and that was just the first floor."
She was surrounded with grassy plains as far as the eye could see, beautiful pink tulips in every field, and all of a sudden it came to her. The angel that had come for her, he hadn't been a dream, he had taken her to this beautiful place, where she would live forever more. Somehow she knew that she could go anywhere, at anytime, and it would all be wonderful.
And she knew this, because she was not just surrounded in fields, but also Ash, he was holding her in his arms, and she sighed contentedly before pulling away, then she got angry.
"I told you not to go!" she screamed, kicking his shin, and – although she didn't know whether or not you could hurt in the afterlife, he visibly flinched, "I told you!" kick, "and did you listen? Do you ever listen?" she kicked him again.
"Will you stop kicking me? I thought you'd be pleased to see me!" he yelled back, and she was – goddess she was – but that didn't mean she couldn't yell at her soulmate for doing the stupidest thing he'd ever done.
"I am pleased to see you, Ash," she smiled angelically, then kicked him, "I'd have been even more pleased to see you alive!"
"You know what they say, Die young, stay pretty," he said defensively, "I just didn't do the part about leaving a good-looking corpse," then his face contorted, "and what about you? If I didn't love you so much, I'd kick you, I told you not to do anything stupid!"
She stared at him in disbelief, he was calling her stupid? She wasn't the one who'd dived in front of a stake when she'd known she had a soulmate waiting for her back at Thierry's mansion, "what? Going to sleep and waking up dead is being stupid now?"
He laughed, and they kissed, and nothing else seemed to matter anymore. Death wasn't too bad, they were together, for all eternity. And it was beautiful, a wondrous place filled with life…Mary-Lynette grinned and corrected herself, Okay, spirit… it hurt knowing she wasn't going to see her father, or Mark, or Ash's sisters ever again until the day they died, but she could live with that.
You've really gotta stop coming up with these puns, Mare, Ash whispered inside her head, filled with life? You can live with that?
She smiled and pressed her lips to his once more, but I feel alive.
