FireFlies Chapter 29
Death is kind of a gift, it should be accepted. Even though you lose the one you loved and maybe believed in, it's how you face them. Remember them, even the funniest memory that you now laughing at, they are laughing with you, you might not see them, you might not hear them but you once saw them and you once heard them and you know that they are at peace.
Death is something that you cannot grasp in your hands. You may think if you pinch yourself you'll wake up all tucked up in your bed or staring at some blank piece of paper that you'll have to write your essay on. But you know theories are just that, theories you know that they have gone and even all you love could never bring them back. Death is a strange thing, it must happen to everyone on of us or else you haven't really lived.
"Oh Bella..." I sobbed as I stroked her once shiny chocolate hair as it now turned tired and drooped over my arm. Her glossy pink lips that used to smile at any joke was a cold purple that frowned at my face. Her secret eyes proud to stare death in the face with a chuckle had fell shut as death didn't find her funny no more.
"You did this." River hissed lowly as she approached him. "You did this to my daughter."
"Oh please! We're not playing the blame game!" I turned to her, she was as sad as me. "We have to take her back to the TARDIS, take her home and she must be taken care of properly."
River nodded at my statement as she left with baby Ebony leading us to the TARDIS. As I picked her floppy body up and walked away with her, soldiers took their hats of as they lowered their heads. Bella didn't need their sorrow but she would have forgiven them and tell everyone it was a huge misunderstanding.
It felt like forever as we walked to the TARDIS, I placed her on her bed, she looked so peaceful.
"Hey Bella, do you remember when we first met? I do, gosh that hurt, cause you kicked me where you shouldn't have done." I laughed as I remembered the pain. "I should have told it straight to you." I glanced at her face hoping for a sarcastic comment.
"Bella I am so sorry, I'm sorry for all of this." I cried "I should have taken you to a hospital the first time I saw you instead of me looking after you myself, I am truly sorry." I sobbed I had fucked this girls life up, if only she didn't meet me.
"I love you Bella Swan." And that's why I looked after her; I loved her so much, the way her voice echoed in my head like a birds song. "And never ever forget that." I kissed her cold forehead as tears dripped off my face and on to hers. I pulled away for my own good and for someway mine.
I slouched to the controls were now Amy and Rory were staring at me, clueless to what had happened.
"I thought that it would be better for you to tell them." River cried as she mumbled them words.
"Tell us what?" Amy shouted as she saw my destroyed face, they saw my tears, they know I never cry only if something was so powerful had upset me.
"You know how I got Ebony back."
"Yes." Amy whispered still clutching Rory's hand so tightly he couldn't feel his hand no more.
"Well I lost somebody in return." I approached them.
"No. I thought she was…Y'know….Like….You" Amy shouted then her pauses made her next words thick with emotions and when her last word came out, it only sounded like a squeak.
"She is…" I told her.
"She got shot just before the start of the regeneration progress, a time lords weak spot." River said so distance, like she didn't really grip to the edges of reality no more.
Then Amy broke down crying, Rory still there to hug her tightly even though he was crying himself. They had lost a true friend.
"I'm going to take her back to forks," The Doctor told them. "And to do this the right way." I approached the controls taking us to Forks.
I opened the doors to find a wet tanned man, the Jacob guy.
"Where is she?" he shouted as he somehow knew what had happened. "Where's my Bella?"
"Come in Jacob." I let him passed as he heard the quiet sobs from Amy, he knew of what had ever happened it was bad.
"Jaocb, Bella's…." I whispered to him as I tried not to burst out crying myself. "She's Dead." I mumbled. His eyes so surprised it was unrealistic. His breathing increased and the beads of water started to evaporate. He twisted his head from side to side and then, KA-POW. He was that wolf, the maroon wolf taller than me and growling, sharp claws could rip me to shreads but instead of doing the previous, he watched me, tears falling onto his soft fur.
"We have to do this properly," I repeated to Jacob. "Now do you know where there is a small boat and petrol."
He nodded ever so slightly as he pointed to the door. I opened it watching him race out into the cold rain of forks.
He returned moments clothed and not the wolf, but he had in his hands, a carton of petrol. He looked up at me with his eyes red and puffy.
"There's a wooden boat by La Push beach." He stammered as he made his way in.
I walked up to the controls, faced by Amy.
"Hey do you remember what you told me ages ago when I went traveling with you?" she asked me with a warm smile.
"No not right now." I told her as I pushed past her taking the TARDIS to the quiet spot of La Push Beach.
After Amy, Rory and River said their goodbyes to Bella, I took the TARDIS to that beach Jacob had told me. When River opened the doors with Ebony in her arms, the salty sea spray hit our faces but we didn't care. I had Bella's body in my arms carrying her out to the boat. Amy followed but them Rory stopped her.
"It's harder for them than it is for you." Rory told her as he enclosed her into another strong hug. River stood just a few feet behind them, watching her Daughter to be sent to sea. Her tears dripped onto Ebony's Blanket.
I placed her on the dry boat, as the rain stopped now.
Jacob fell to his knee's as he hugged her body mumbling something in her eye before kissing her goodbye.
Jacob stood over me, watching me as I said my goodbyes.
"I didn't want to see you go like this but here." I checked my watch 13th September 2011. "Happy 19th Birthday Bella." I passed her a silver box as I kissed her goodbye. I didn't want to leave her, but I had no choice.
Jacob was just about to put the petrol on her when…
"DOCTOR!" Amy shouted as she pushed past Rory and raced to me. "YOUR MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!" she exclaimed as she grabbed my hand.
"That time when we met Rory in the roman times you told me something, and it worked. So I'm going to tell you the same thing again but with some changes." She gasped for air as her eyes were locked with mine.
"Right here goes." Amy grinned nervously. "People fall out of the world sometimes but they always leave traces. Little things we can't quite account for. Faces in photographs. Luggage. Half-eaten meals. Necklaces. Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And if something can be remembered it can come back…"
We both turned to Bella, I walked to her and took her necklace off and held It in my hands.
"Remember Doctor." Amy smiled as she closed my hand with hers, "Remember." She whispered.
Rory burst out laughing then exclaimed "I REMEMER! THE SLITHEEN EXPLODING IN IKEA!""
Then it was Jacob as he muttered a low "I remember you Bella. Oh god…I remember you."
Then there was a low voice "Momma." Little Ebony chuckled afterwards.
"I remember you and I'm so sorry." River said as she glanced over her.
"I remember you." Amy whispered with her eyes closed tight, she chuckled lightly. "Flirting." She grinned as she thought about a memory.
Now it was my turn. I closed my eyes and suddenly everything I did with her flashed before my eyes, they weren't faded they were clear, her laugh was so loud, her beautiful smell overpowering and then her heart-warming smile, just that heart-warming. The good times rolled in my head, like the voodoo shop and the party and the time when there was two of them. I chuckled and then from nowhere I spoke.
"I remember you Isabella Marie Swan, I remember every single moment and you're not leaving today!" I shouted and at that point my eyes snapped open. I opened my hand to find her necklace wasn't there now it was on her neck. I fell to her side as I held her hand.
"Come on Bella, Come on Bella, Please, I remembered, Please!" I pleaded as tears fell onto her. Then her chest stared to lift up and down, her hand twitched in mine her head twisting for a better position. Then her chocolate eyes opened once more. I now removed her birthday present from her chest and placed it back into my pocket before she woke up.
"D-Doctor?" she spluttered as she lifted up her hand.
"Don't worry it's me. You're going to be alright." I smiled but then saw the regeneration energy wrap around her hand, I let go and legged it back.
"Get back!" I shouted as I took Amy and Jacob with me.
Bella burst into light, repairing herself from the damages that had been coursed. She screamed ever so softly as her hands hung high into the sky, sending gold energy everywhere. And after about two minutes her screams softened and turned into giggles.
I walked back over her, smiling, her hair was only a little lighter but still, she was the same person.
"Oh Bella!" I exclaimed as I raced to her. I locked her into a bear hug as we kissed passionately.
"I thought I lost you." Bella gasped afterwards.
"I thought I did too, but Amy saved your life." Bella let go of me and wakled over to Amy. Bella's smile grew across her face and so did Amy's as the two girls hugged each other.
"Thank-You Amy." Bella cried.
"It's ok." She smiled.
Bella then walked over to Rory and hugged him tightly. Then Jacob and last but not least, River.
"Mom." She smiled as she hugged her trying not to harm Ebony.
"Hello Ebony." Bella exclaimed as she took her off River, Ebony giggled.
"Ebony, I need to ask you something." Bella whispered something to her and she giggled to confirm it.
Bella approached Amy and Rory.
"I know about how you can't have kids." Bella said as she glanced over Amy and Rory. "So me and Ebony have taken it on ourselves give you something in return to saving my life and somehow the Doctors." Bella grinned.
"I want you to take my daughter and raise her up into a good home, like I know you will." Bella smiled as she passed Ebony to Amy. "She'll grow much faster, see, she already looks like a three year old even though she is 4months old. She intelligent and funny like you two but you can give her something that I can't give her."
"What's that?" Rory asked.
"A normal life." Bella shrugged with a smile on her face. "She can't grow up in a time machine; she needs an education and something to do besides running away from aliens who want her to help them rule the world." Bella smiled. "She'll also have a normal family."
"You were a normal family." Amy spluttered.
"Correction our family consist of three time lords and a time lord baby, a were-wolfs and two humans. It wasn't normal but we still love them." She grinned. "All of them."
"Thank-you Bella, Thank-you Doctor." Rory smiled as happy tears stared to flow.
"You're welcome. Shall we celebrate this by tea at your house Ponds?" I asked as I walked over to them. They giggled as they nodded their heads.
"Allons-y." I exclaimed as I clapped my hands and heading into the TARDIS with my family.
