-1Disclaimer: Don't own Power Rangers; don't own the song, My Immortal, by the wonderful Evanescence. Now, let's get back to the story!
Chapter 3:
You stand in the hospital wing, numb with shock. Trying to take in the shock you have just received. Dana and the captain are by the bed holding the motionless body. You see Dana with tears in her eyes and slowly turn back towards your room.
The other rangers are there too, they all let you pass, they all knew the depth of your feelings towards the titanium ranger.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
In your room you lie motionless on the bed as you contemplate what you could do. A letter lies on the floor as you stare into space.
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 the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
I know what you must be thinking. Why would I have done something as stupid as this without knowing that it was stupid?
But the truth is, I love you, I love the way you scared Joel at Halloween and the way you dance, like a single blade of grass.
I know you don't love me. And I know that sooner or later you would meet someone else and, I couldn't bear the fact that that person wasn't me. that's why I had to leave you. I'm so sorry.
I'll see you again, some day.
Forever yours.
Ryan.
You pull yourself off the bed as a plan begins to take shape.
A smile forms as you leave the aquabase.
Unnoticed, a small bat-like shadow follows you.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
Now, what could that bat-like shadow be? Find out by pressing that little button and flicking to the next chapter. See you there!
