Sorry for the delay, I was banned for being a bad writer (and forgetting to change the rating on some fic or other. Oh well...)This is NOT a oneshot; it's actually the first chapter in a story. It is a song fic, and another Evanescence. (Surprisingly enough) So. Without much further ado, I give you this, based on Taking Over Me. And yes, it's a sequel to Secrets 2, in a sort of I may make vague references every now and again. Actually, strike that, it aint, coz even though its JackAna and WillLiz. And Will and Liz are with Jack et al. But there are no twins. NO BABIES! Yay! No complicated bits...

You don't remember me/
But I remember you/
I lie awake and try so hard/
Not to think of you/
But who can decide what they dream? /
And dream I do.../
She watched the group come in, two women, and two men. She recognised one of them. Oh, didn't she just. How many nights had she wasted, tossing and turning, trying not to think of him? But, even then, he invaded her nightmares. Nightmares had replaced dreams years ago. She turned back to the customer, a swarthy pirate with a wooden leg.
"What d'ye want sir?"
I believe in you/
I'll give up everything just to find you/
I have to be with you to live to breathe/
You're taking over me/
She had wanted to find him of course, when he had left. And, eventually, she had given up. It had been so obvious that he wasn't coming back. And then, well...
((()))((()))((()))((())) 20 years ago ((()))((()))((()))
Have you forgotten all I know/
And all we had? /
You saw me mourning my love for you/
And touched my hand/
I knew you loved me then/
"Jay Bird Jay Bird! Come out to play!" they were the street urchins who made up Jay's gang. They were savage children, down and dirty fighters and thieves. And Jay was the ringleader. She had never expected him to be anything less though. That was the thing with Jay. He was a natural leader. And at fourteen, he was the eldest too. She caught up with him. She was the first lady in the gang. She was more wary than him, his cooler side, the side that would help his plan develop so they could do them and live.
"What about Her? She might-,"
"You don't need to worry about Her. I'm here to protect you and always will be,"
But he wasn't.
I believe in you/
I'll give up everything just to find you/
I have to be with you to live to breathe/
You're taking over me/
She had believed in him so much. Believed that he would always protect her from Her.
She woke up that morning and reached over to Jay. There was an empty space, and a bit of paper. There were drawings on it. A bird flying over water, a ship, a man with great boots on, and many kisses. She stared at it. She knew what it meant. Jay was gone. She couldn't keep it a secret though. She took it to the next room, where She was already up, and opening a bottle. She gave it to Her with out a word. She scanned it and then crumpled it. And turned to her...
Two years later she left Her.
((()))((()))((()))((()))Twenty years later((()))((()))((()))
I look in the mirror and see your face/
If I look deep enough/
So many things that are inside/
Just like you are taking over/
She was cleaning up after kicking out time. This was basically strewing more straw, mopping up the worst of the blood and other bodily fluids, spilled drink and other messes. She cleaned the bar carefully, as the landlady liked it to be clean. The group, with him in it, had taken the two rooms upstairs. She looked at herself in the speckled mirror. He stared back. She blinked, and there was her own face. She smiled at it.
"I suppose we must have some resemblance left," she told it. "I think tomorrow I'll have a word with Master Jay Bird,"
A/N: Sorry it's a bit short, but as I'm updating at a rate of knots at the mo, you won't have long to wait. R/R. Cookies to all that do!
