A/N: I saw this fan-art comic, and it made me so sad… But this is what I got from looking at it. Hope you like it!

His violet eyes were gentle with quiet sorrow as he looked down at lovingly. She wrapped her arms around him, loosely at first, and then with all of her strength, not wanting to let him leave.
"I have to go."
"She simply tightened her grip on him, afraid of the inevitable she knew was to come.
Bending down, he murmured in her ear reassuring words of strength before vanishing into a small light.
Her eyes widened as her arms fell onto her, the man now gone.
Falling to the ground, she hugged her knees to herself as she wept silently, grieving wordlessly.
The softly glowing orb floated upwards into the clouds, becoming one with the celestial gems decorating the cloak of night.
Tears carved their way down her cheeks as the cold reality slapped her once again.
In her ears, she could still hear him say, "I love you." and she hated how he hadn't waited for her reply. Looking up into the sky with tearful golden eyes, she said, "I love you too."
C2 woke up, her heart racing. She wondered what was wrong, and then realized that her pillow was wet, stained with the tears during her… Her nightmare. Thinking back on the dream that had left fresh fear in her mind, she trembled. What if it came true? What if she really was left alone again?

She said nothing but he knew that she had understood and accepted his promise. Squeezing her hand gently, he murmured, "I'll be here always, right next to you. Every step of the way."
Outside, it was dark and stormy. The wind ripped umbrellas out of people's hands, the raindrops pelted your hands and face with what felt like pebbles, and it was black as ink.
But inside… With the soft glow of the lamp chasing away nightmares and darkness, the witch and the warlock lay together, sleeping contentedly, safe in the other's promise to protect them.
A/N: Why are these getting shorter and shorter? Oh man… I'm really sorry about the length about the recent chapters.
A/N: Oh yeah. The fan-art was only her dream. The rest is all my idea. Just thought you should know where the credit properly goes to.
