See? Told you I'd get this chapter up soon! :P I keep my promises, yup yup!
Hope you like! I'll have chapter 7 up within the hour - no make that 2 hours! (I'm watching Ice Age 3, you see. It's quite a funny distraction. ^.^)
Disclaimer: *sigh* Must I? Really? Oh fine. Jeez. Force me to remind myself that I don't own Night World. There, I said it! TT_TT No, I don't own it, but I love it all the same! :D
Mary-Lynette paused halfway up the stairs. She felt like she had forgotten something. She went through the night again.
Adam stayed for dinner and then had to go. The table's clean, the dishes washed, and Mark's escorting Jade back home. I'm off to bed, but…I'm still forgetting something!
All of a sudden, she had it.
Ash!
Every night before she went to bed, she went outside – without her telescope or even binoculars – and she'd stare wordlessly at the sky, the moon, the stars.
For two years, she'd done this. It was practically a ritual, a tradition for her now.
She'd started ever since that day Ash left, the day he'd said, "Even when we're apart, we'll be looking at the same sky!"
So every night, she'd go outside and gaze up at the endless sky, alone in the cold night air. But not truly alone, because somehow she knew without a doubt that Ash was looking at the same sky, wherever he was, and whenever she thought that, she could almost feel Ash's warm embrace, his searing kiss.
She seriously could not believe she'd forgotten about it tonight.
Sprinting outside, she collapsed on the ground and glared at the sky. She was angry: angry at Ash, at Mark and Jade; hell, she was even mad at Adam, which was really weird. But most of all, she was angry at herself. Because who's fault was it that Ash was gone? Hers, of course! She'd sent him away. And she had no one to blame but herself.
She'd never felt lonelier.
Tears blurred her vision obscuring her view of the dark night sky. She closed her eyes and cried silently, the tears sliding down the sides of her face, wetting her hair.
She cried for a long time.
Finally, when the tears were slowing down, she croaked out, "Oh Ash. I miss you so much. Where are you?"
"Here."
It was so soft that at first, she thought it was in her head but she quickly realized that the voice was real.
She shot up, twisted around, and gasped.
Then she kicked out with all her strength.
Chapter 7 will be up soon! Later!
Write on. Read on. That's my motto. :D
PEACE!
