*sigh* I wanna thank all of you. I mean it. I thought I would make a list of people that had supported me but that would end up being a chapter in itself! It's just, you all have been such a great big help. A huge help. It's your support that's given me wings to finish this. If I could I would engage all of you in a huge group hug, honest, that how much I appreciate every single review you all have given me. Over 400...gosh, I never dreamed I'd make something so popular…I mean ,seriously…damn! I really appreciate it guys…really…I never dreamed that so many of you would actually like this. I just picked it up on a whim…
I never considered myself to be a die-hard Predator fan like most of you ended up being, but I did my research…I studied…I asked questions…all because I wanted to give you guys a quality story to read. I went into the AvP achieves because I picked up the DVD that was laying around in the house and I'm like "God, Scar is so hot with that mask on…"(I have a 'guys in masks' fetish) I was relatively new with a Fanfiction account and I wanted to read romancey stuff, I only knew of Lex so I went to find some quick one-shots with that pairing that would satiate my cravings. It was you guys that introduced me to OCs…and the more I read…the more I liked.
I admit, we had our ups and downs. Some of you wanted action, but I'm a simple gal. Others wanted romance faster, I thought it was best to take my time. People had issues with Sophie's age…gosh you guys are a bunch of complainers! Lol XD
All in all guys…just thanks. Really. This couldn't have happened without you. I know I promised an epilogue…but I know that would only leave you wanting more with the things I'll put in it and right now I think I'm done with this fandom. I need a break. If you push for an epilogue then I'll give, cuz you guys are my fans, my buds, but other than that…I think the story is finished in itself.
That's all I gotta say. Thanks guys and enjoy!
Love.
It's been 17 months, and in a few more I'll be 17...
So much has happened.
"Hey, Sophie!" Liz ran up to me from behind the road, giving me a playful nudge.
I smiled at her.
"You won't believe what Andrew told me just before I left…"
My attention was drawn from her to the woods, more specifically, the great vast sky above it.
At the same time nothing has happened at all…
"Hey! Are you even listening to me anymore?"
"huh?" I turned to her again, "Oh…yeah, what was he saying?"
"Jeez, it's like your mind wanders every single second, anyway what he told me was…"
I never, ever, stopped thinking about him.
000
"Sophie, remind me to pick up those forms back at the office tomorrow, got it?" Mom said over her shoulder as she stirred the soup we were having for dinner.
I nodded from the table where I was doing my homework, "Yeah."
The phone rang.
"Sophie!"
"I got it," true to what I said, I already had the phone pressed to my ear, "Hello, Daniel's residence."
"Jesus Christ, since when do they have you saying that every time you pick up the phone?"
I rolled my eyes.
Mom called up, "Who is it, dear?"
"It's Josh."
"Damn right it's me. What are you up to, squirt?"
"Nothing much, homework…"
Josh has been in collage for a little over a year now, and believe it or not, I actually end up missing him most of the time.
"So how's it going?"
He groaned, "Horrible. Why the hell am I taking business again…?"
"Because you like it," I snorted, "At least, that's what you said after you gave the shitty reason for 'wanting to make sex-ED plushies for children'…"
"It's a good idea, let them know in advance."
"You freakin sicko…"
"You're just jealous that you didn't come up with it, Miss future Valedictorian…"
"Whatever." my grades aren't that good…
"Anyway, I'm off. Got things to turn in tomorrow."
"Wait, aren't you gonna say hi to Mom?"
"Er, and have her bleed my ear off with her constant lectures about not getting anyone pregnant while I'm here?"
As if on cue, my mother called out again, "Oh, Sophie, I want to talk to him!"
"Please just tell her that I love her…"
"You owe me."
"Good little sister."
"He says he loves you!"
I saw her shoulders slump, "Ugh, fine," disappointment rang from her being at the fact that she wouldn't be able to tell her only son her valuable advice, "Just tell him not to get anyone pregnant!" she does it more to save the would-be girls future career.
"Don't knock someone up, Josh."
"Tempting."
I let out a laugh.
"…Hey, Sophie?"
"Yeah?"
"…Never mind. Cya in a few months."
"Or next weekend if you drive your lazy butt here…"
"Again, in a few months. Bye!"
"Bye."
I hung up, but I stared at the phone for more than a handful of seconds. Me and Josh have gotten closer since…
"…Hey, mom?"
"Yes dear?"
I laid the phone down. "Nothing…" I said, continuing to stare at it, "you never got to sue American Airlines when you came back from that month trip, did you?"
"Thanks to your father, I swear he lacks a solid backbone sometimes…"
I half-smiled, "yeah…"
"Something wrong, sweetheart?"
I didn't respond right away, thinking about her question, "No…nothing's wrong…" I took my pencil and started to make wavy strokes on my paper, "I was just…thinking about something that happened…a long time ago…"
"Oh. Alright then, dinner's almost ready."
I nodded and laid my head on top of my book, looking at nothing in particular.
The food for that entire month was so rotten…and he only ate every three days…
I smiled softly.
I'm always thinking about him, one way or another.
000
"And that cloud goes here…and then I'll add a skyscraper thing…"
I was on my bed now, sketching away on my pad for the latest project I had to create. It was going great so far, and taking a moment to look at it, I felt the corners of my mouth pull for a satisfied smile. I was about to press my pencil back on the paper when I stopped. The tip hovered gently over my pad as I wondered if I had "the look" on me again.
The one I have when I like something I drew…
I lowered my pencil and looked towards my window, a melancholy mood winning over me. There was only one reason why…
I nearly jumped when I heard a bark coming from my room door.
"Jesus, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" believe it or not, the dog was actually(willingly)making its way inside my room. "What are you doin here anyway, huh, lazy little mutt?"
Not bothering to even answer(he quite obviously used up all his barking capabilities with that single one)he only staggered all the way to my bed, lifted himself up(I did most of the work)and he laid his head on my stomach.
"Slobber on it, and your dog days are over," as threatening as it sounded, I still smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. To think, he choose to spend his yearly exercise on coming to keep me company.
I laughed a little, looking back toward my window while still petting him in appreciation.
"You probably came cuz you could tell how I was feeling, huh?" I didn't expect him to answer, but I liked to have someone to talk to.
After a while, a sigh escaped me as I leaned my head back. The blue of the sky had started to get darker and darker…soon, the stars would be out.
"What do you think?" I said to my canine companion, "Do you think I should go today?"
In response, I got a hybrid of a cough and a sneeze outa him. But it didn't matter
I already knew my answer.
I've always known my answers to everything since he left…
There I go again…thinking about him.
000
And I won't stop thinking about him either. I haven't tried. I don't think I ever will.
I'm in the woods now…
It's just something I'm always doing now a days, whenever I can I just walk over here.
I always though he would come back. That he's come back to me. The first 3 months I thought he would come back any day…
But he didn't.
I prayed that day. I just couldn't stop crying, I wanted him to come back so bad. It hurt a lot, knowing that he might never come back. I still don't like to think about it.
The trees are dying again. Just like they were when he came around…
Krone…
I know that I'm not going to move on…I know he's real…I know how much he made me(and still makes me)feel.
I touch the bark of one of the thin trees with the tips of my fingers.
I miss you a lot, Krone…
This is the only place I can freely think about him.
It should have been the garage, but now the van is back in there again and it doesn't feel right. I once tried to convince my dad not to park the van there anymore, he asked me why and I stopped trying. I couldn't tell him it was because it was were me and Krone had spent the majority of our time together…
I can't even think about him in my own room. The first time I did, I didn't want to leave and my folks got scared. It took them forever to coax me to get back out, and I only did so I wouldn't have to go out of my way to make a good enough lie. I didn't want to tell them about Krone. He was my Krone. They wouldn't understand.
I sighed and leaned back on one of the tress, watching the stars up above. Why did they have to look so beautiful even though Krone isn't here? It's almost like they didn't know how important he is…
My heart sank as I watched one start to shimmer. Do you watch the stars when I do, Krone? Do you look at the same ones I do?
Memories started to fill my head, like it always does. I remembered when I first showed him these woods. He said that he liked it, that there wasn't a place like this back in his home. Giving him candy, laughing with him…it hurt that they were only memories now. I wanted them to be more than memories. I wanted it to be real again…
Can't they be more than memories? Can't I have it back?
"Are you happy up there, Krone?"
Of course he's happy…he's back home…where he wanted to be. He spent such a long time fixing his ship, it would've been a waste just to not go anywhere…
That doesn't stop it from hurting now, does it Sophie?
No, Sophie, don't think about it that way. Think about the good stuff, about how happy he oughta be right now.
I let out a feeble laugh, "Yeah, Krone…he's…"
He's probably off killing a whole bunch of monsters and getting even more respect. He might be real busy now, too. I mean, he's an Honored Blood…and don't they need him and stuff? To train the other Yautja? They gotta learn how to be badass from him, right?
But he isn't like that…
He was sweet…and nice…and considerate. Krone was the greatest person in the whole wide world. He listened to me, he made me feel…
What could he be doing right now? Is he okay? What is he feeling, what is he thinking? Is he really happy where he is now? Krone…
"Do you even think about me?"
My only answer was the silent stars above me. I felt my eyes tear up, a pain in my heart that I've had since the day he left kept on growing and growing. Did he forget about me? Was I nothing but a memory to him now? Did he even care? Does he think about the girl he meet and how we used to laugh together? Or did he choose to forget?
I shook my head, determined to get these thoughts out of my head. I didn't want him to forget me, I wouldn't bare it. It scared me to think that Krone would just write me off like that.
I felt my throat start to sting, the inevitable breaking I always went through taking over. I couldn't help it, every time…even though the memories are so sweet and beautiful…it's the here and now that I can't take.
"I'd give anything…anything at all to have you back, Krone…"
But didn't I deserve this? All the suffering? I broke Krone's heart…I hurt him. It's what I deserve.
Krone deserves better than someone who didn't know how to appreciate him when she had to. When she had him. I didn't know, so I lost my chance and when I tried to fix it, it was to late. So that means I have to let it go, right? Because he needs someone better.
But I…
Still…I still wanted him here, I still hoped and prayed day after day for him to come back. I knew it was selfish, but I needed him to know…what I feel about him. I couldn't stand the thought of him with someone else. Even if she made him a thousand times happier than I did, I didn't like to think that someone took my place. It was my place. Because he's my Krone. If I could change anything, just one thing, I would tell him that…
That I…
God, I'm such an idiot! "What does it even matter anymore?" I choked back my tears, "I'm never…going to see him again…"
Oh, Krone. That doesn't mean I don't want to see you again. I want to more than anything else in the world! Every day of every second the only thing I want is for you to hold me again. No one else is even one-fourth capable of making me feel better the way you did. I could cry for hours and hours when all it took was a few second for you to make me stop.
I felt the tears begin to roll down and I finally began to break. Every time…every time I do this. I said I'd try to be happy for him, but I just can't! I can't be happy without him! I need my Krone! Why did he have to go away? Why did I let him go away?
"It's not fair…It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair!"
I cried repeatedly, shaking and miserable because no one's ever gonna come and wrap his arms around me again. Never, ever again!
I'm still alone, Krone. You're still the only one that's ever meant so much to me! Why was I so stupid?
"I wish you'd just come back, Krone…" I miss you too much Krone…I can't take it anymore!
Everywhere I look, I see you. Everything reminds me of you. I've spent so much of my life since you left looking up in the sky, hoping to see you, to see that you're coming back to me. I dream about you every day…You're still with me Krone, in my heart, just like I told you you would be. But…but I'm still so alone!
I looked back up at the stars above me. Hoping…praying…
"Just one more chance…one more and I promise you that…"
A shooting star passed by.
This time I closed my eyes and made my wish.
I wish…
I wish Krone would come back.
A huge gust of wind suddenly came out of nowhere, I would've been knocked down if I hadn't grabbed on to the tree behind me.
"What the hell?" I yelled at nature, trying to open my eyes without a twig or something wanting to get inside.
It seemed liked forever, but the wind began to die down. However, as the chaos of the wind's noise stopped, it was replaced with something else. Like a buzzing sound or something…or an airplane…an airplane? Or a jet? Like an engine was shutting down or…
I turned around, determined to find out what it was.
My eyes widened.
There…
Right there before me…
Krone…?
It was a ship. I mean, a spaceship! Like a huge as, RV-like freaking spaceship and it was right in front of me!
"h-Holy…" shit.
I stood there, frozen, scared off my ass, and only a little bit hopeful. My heart beat fast, every second the blood in me running at miles. My mind was blank and I didn't know what to expect. The ship hovered over the ground for minutes until finally coming down with a loud thud causing me to flinched at the sound. And then I started to think…
Holy freaking mother fucking shit, I have no idea what's in there.
I started to panic. I was just standing here, not thinking about the dangers of being in front of a spaceship! For all I knew I could be dead the minute something comes out! I had no way of knowing if whatever was inside was friendly or not, what am I thinking?
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!
I was just about searching for an escape route when I heard a hiss. Something was opening up. And it was probably a door or something. Meaning something was getting out. Meaning I'm to afraid to move now. Meaning that I'm really hoping that I won't die from this!
I closed my eyes and held my breath, saying a silent prayer, scared to death and only hoping that I don't die before seeing the one person I care about.
And then I opened my eyes.
"Krone…"
He was standing right there. Feet in front of me. It was him. It was Krone. Krone. My Krone.
"Krone!"
I ran to him. I can't believe it. It was him! Krone was back! He came back! I knew it was him, there was no way I would confuse him for anyone else. There he was, six foot something and all. He came back! He-
I tripped.
But I didn't fall.
Krone caught me.
He was holding my torso while I was grabbing onto his arm since I was a little shaky from almost falling and from the fact that I had so much emotion in me right now. I was touching him. I felt him. He wasn't a mirage. He was… I looked up at him. Oh my god…I'm looking up at him again. Just like before…
I was looking up at his hazel eyes again.
"You're real…"
He stared back at me. I had no idea what he was thinking, but somehow I knew he was feeling the same way I did. My heart was beating so fast, I just needed him to say something, anything. Anything to prove he was real. That he was really here.
"Sophie…"
I started to cry, "KRONE!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed myself close, "You're real! You're real! You're real…!"
And for the first time in such a long time…I felt him wrap his arms around me again. I felt his warmth again.
"you're real…"
Krone…he was real.
"Sophie…" it was his voice, his voice, "I…"
He held me tighter. Just like before. Just like he used to.
"You…"
I wish I could stop crying. I'm not letting him say anything! But I couldn't help it. To have him here. Right here again. I just…
"Krone…Krone…!" tears kept falling. They went on and on and I don't know why. It's just, he was here again, with me and I…
I was just so happy and at the same time I just can't begin to tell him how much I wanted him back here.
I felt his talons, long and powerful, just the way they used to be, I felt them as they brushed the back of my head. I closed my eyes and held on.
It hurt so much, it hurt to be so relieved again, to feel protected again. It hurt to finally feel not hurt anymore. But at the same time my body began to relax, even though I was still crying. It was like it was telling me that everything was going to be okay now. That this was really happening. That Krone was with me again.
It was the greatest feeling in the world.
He began to purr. I felt the low rumblings go through my body, soothing it. In a while, my sobs became calmer, quieter. It was just me and him now.
I opened my eyes and placed a hand on his strong chest.
"You're back."
Those two simple words seemed to mean so much. They finally convinced me that this was my Krone, here with me again.
He lifted my chin with his two talons, he smiled down at me and I smiled up at him.
"I am back, Sophie," he clicked, stroking my cheek, "I came back because of you."
I let out a laugh, feeling like crying again.
Krone looked me over, bottom to top. I blushed as I suddenly felt very self-conscious, it's only been a whole year but since he was gone I've spent just a tad longer thinking about the way I look. Not because of other guys, but because every time I looked in the mirror, I remembered when Krone said I was beautiful for the first time. I only hoped he still thought the same way.
"You grew," he said after he was done.
I huffed, "Yeah, sure," I said sarcastically, "like, two inches tops."
He chuckled. It was so good to hear his chuckle again.
"You haven't changed, Sophie…"
He was right. I'm still no where near as beauty-crazed as the rest of the girls in my school, I may not have much hair I my face anymore, but I'm still the same blue trimmed-glasses, low ponytail, sneaker loving, A-cup breast sized girl I used to be.
"You're still beautiful."
But that seemed to be good enough for him.
I choked back a sob and hugged him again. "Oh, Krone…"
He stroked the back of my head again, "Sophie…" he sighed, "You have no idea…how…"
He strengthened his grip and I felt all the hurt and sadness that I had been feeling…only it came from him instead.
Krone…
I clenched my fists against his strong chest, "I missed you…" I looked back up at him, "I missed you, I missed you so much Krone!"
My heart clenched, "I thought of you all the time! I swear, I saw you everywhere! Everything reminded me of you! I dreamed about you every night! I dreamed that you were still here and that you didn't leave and…And I…" I choked, trying to get it all out, trying to say what I've always wanted to tell him, "Every second of everyday…I…you were the only thing that…"
Why couldn't I say it? I tried so hard, I tried with all my might but my heart still hurt to much.
He lifted my face up again, gently caressing the side of my head, I saw a softness in his eyes, "You were the only thing that seemed to hold my life together."
Exactly what I had wanted to say.
"Even though…" he looked down, this time I could see ache in his eyes, "Even though sometimes it hurt so much…that the pain seemed completely unbearable. Just the thought of holding you again, just like this…it did more harm than good."
"Krone…" hearing him, saying all this, knowing it's my fault, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"
He pressed one of his talons on my lips, stopping me, "Don't," he said, "it's not worth it. All the pain…it's gone now. You're with me again."
I smiled as he pressed his forehead against mine. "Sophie…you have no idea…I spent so many nights wanting you…wishing that you were still with me. I thought of nothing else, you were everything."
"You were everything for me, too, Krone."
He smiled sadly, "I had thought that you had forgotten me…"
"No, I'd never forget you, Krone!" I scolded him, "I said I wouldn't, remember? I said…you'd always be in my heart."
He nuzzled my forehead, "You kept your promise."
"Damn straight."
We both laughed. Something we haven't done in so long now. I closed my eyes and held one of his talons his my hands. I haven't felt this warm in a long time.
"You kept yours, right?"
I felt him press my hand to his chest and I opened my eyes again, "I would never be able to tear you from my heart, Sophie."
I gave off a small smile, "Good. Cuz I'd never forgive you if you did."
He pulled me in his arms again, "I know."
I relaxed in his embrace. All around me there was nothing but Krone, it was so peaceful that I became dreamy. I snuggled closer to him. It was just so good to be able to be near him again, I don't want it to end.
But what if it has to?
What if Krone has to go again? Why was he here anyway? How long…how long until he leaves me again? Fear washed over me as shuddered nearer to him, not liking these thoughts at all. I didn't want that to happen. Not again. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if he went away for a second time. I just couldn't!
"Are you…going to leave again?"
Krone shifted and pulled me apart from him. I suddenly felt really cold as he stared down at me and I couldn't make out what he was thinking. What if he did plan on going? What if he was only here for a short time and…
I shook my head, "I don't want you to…"
I clenched both of my hands into my chest, I couldn't even finish the sentence. I was scared again. I didn't know what to do again. All I wanted was to get him to stay, but I had no idea how!
"I…I won't be able to bear it! Please don't go again, Krone! Please, I…" I lowered my head.
Was I being selfish again? Didn't he had a life to go back to? But…he said that he was hurting back home…did that mean…? What did that mean? He said he wanted to be with me.
"k-Krone…I just…"
"Sophie."
I looked up. He had a look of complete seriousness in his eyes. I knew what he'd say next would be definite.
"I will never…leave you again."
My eyes widened.
Krone took hold of both my shoulders tightly, "I will never do that again. I won't leave you here alone. I am going to stay here…with you. For you. Always and forever."
Krone…
"If you let me, Sophie, I will always be by your side," he ran his claws through my hair, "Only for you…I swear it."
"But…don't you have to go back to-"
"Sophie…You are my only reason for living now. Nothing else matters to me anymore."
Hearing all of this coming from him should've made me happy, but as sweet sounding as it was, I couldn't dare to believe it. Yautja just don't up and leave their life, especially not for a human.
And I'm human. So he's not gonna do it for me.
"Krone, you can't mean that," I said with a sad smile as I blinked back tears, "You have people back in your planet that need you and-"
"I became a Bad Blood."
My mouth hung open.
"Krone…"
A Bad Blood…? I looked deeply into his eyes, trying to confirm what he just said, seeing if it was really true. And there he was, standing there, looking both slightly ashamed yet sadly relieved at the same time. It was true. I couldn't believe it. For a Yautja to become a Bad Blood was usually something shameful for that person, and Krone did look hurt by it but at the same time he was happy…I just didn't understand.
"B-but…why?" I asked earnestly, "What happened? Why did you become…"
I trailed off, confusion washing over me. A Yautja has to do something really, really, bad to become Bad Blood but Krone would never do something-he wouldn't do anything like that! Then why…?
Krone stroked at my chin, lifting it up slightly while giving me a sort smile.
"For you Sophie."
My limbs went numb.
Krone…became a Bad Blood for…me?
Suddenly, the realization of what that meant hit me like a train. A train going 1000 miles an hour.
"I…I will fight for you, Sophie." He placed a hand behind my neck a pulled my closer, "This time…I won't run away. No matter what it takes, Sophie, I…even is the Elder comes with an entire legion, I won't let you go…I can't let you go."
Was he…saying that he still…
"I'm still in love with you Sophie."
Oh, Krone…
"I won't rest until I win your heart. Take all the time you need, I will stay right here. Waiting for you. I will do anything you ask of me. Just…give me one chance, Sophie. That's all I ask, one chance…and even if…you don't change your mind…I only ask that you permit me to stay by you. Let me be your shadow, let me be near you. I can't live without you, Sophie. Please…"
I had Krone right here. Like I had always wanted, like how I wished for, what I prayed for every day and night. I remembered how I would close my eyes tight and imagine myself never letting him go. I remembered how hollow I always felt, even when my life was moving on ahead, I was always looking up at the sky. Watching, praying, as the world passed by me I saw how the clouds above me passed through the sky.
They called my absent-minded. My mom had to remind me of things she told me, because I would usually be looking at something in the house and remembering what Krone had to do with that particular item. Liz would always complain about how I never paid attention to her, whenever she talked about boys or her current relationship status I was always accused of zoning out. If Josh was ever around when someone said something that triggered at my memories, he would get silent and try to change the subject. Sometimes even he would start to say something to be but then stop. He knew, and he tried his best not to make me hurt anymore.
I was still so silent. But I never let anyone pick on me anymore. They said they found me quirky, I was nice enough but they wouldn't start talking to me in order to make a friend. I was still painting the stars, I was still to lonely, I was still a bit incomplete.
I said so many times I'd take it back if I could. I imagined how I would play this scene in my head. How everything would be better. How I would finally right my wrong. I begged for another chance. Each day all I wanted was Krone.
Now he was here, right here.
And now…
Now I can finally tell him what I've always wanted to say.
"Krone…I love you!"
I smiled. I really smiled. I mean I really gave an honest to goodness, thank the lord smile!
"I love you!"
The look on his face was full of disbelief and shock.
"I mean it Krone! I really mean it this time! I love you! I love you so much! I swear!"
I just wanted him to believe me again. I need him to believe in me.
"I swear…this time I mean it, Krone…I promise…I…I've loved you since forever!" I looked down, clenching at my heart, I needed to let him know that I wasn't lying, "It's just…I didn't know what that was at first…I didn't know that…love meant that having you near me made me really happy…or that laughing with you made the world seem like a better place…or having you say my name made me feel like the most important person in the world when in my whole entire life I always felt like I was a miserable waste of time…"
I'm nothing without you, Krone…
"…I…I didn't know how much I loved you until you left Krone and I…" I just need his forgiveness…I need him to know… "I'm so sorry for that…I'm so sorry…and I just…I just wanted to tell you that I did love you…that I always did and that you make me the happiest person in the world and I love you!"
Krone please…
"I love you!"
Why can't I stop crying? I should be happy…I'm finally…telling him that I…
"You love me…?"
I looked up.
He was smiling.
Really smiling.
I mean an honest to goodness, thank the lord smile, Krone was smiling!
And so did I…and I felt like everything…all the sadness…all the misery just washed away.
"Yes…" I said with a nod, finally shedding all the tears that I would never have to cry again. "I love you…"
He began to laugh, "You love me…"
"I love you Krone…"
I was suddenly lifted off the ground, Krone held me in his arms as we booth began to spin my around, laughing. We began to laugh again. And we made circles after circles just spinning and laughing and it felt so good to do so…
"You love me!"
"I love you!"
And we laughed and we laughed and I felt like nothing else would ever go wrong. Nothing else would ever matter. Nothing at all would ever stop me from loving Krone. My Krone.
Eventually though, we got dizzy and had to stop. Krone put me down and I had to hold onto his outstretched arms in order to not fall. We laughed again.
We…
It sounded nice. Not just 'me', or not just 'him', not 'I …but we.
We tried to catch our breath, staring into each other eyes.
"Promise… " he started, still only a bit unsure, "promise that you love me?"
I nodded. "I promise," I lifted my hand, tilting my head to the side, "Pinkie swear."
He stared at our intertwined pinkies and smiled again.
"Sophie…" he breathed, pulling me closer, "My Sophie…I love you."
I laughed, "I love you too Krone."
I kissed hi jaw and he only picked me up again.
As we where spinning, as we where laughing, I could only feel happiness. I felt freedom. I felt love. All through getting to know him…that's all I ever felt.
And I was so glad.
Everything else just melted away as I was in his arms.
And I swore that day that I would always love him.
And he swore that he would always love me.
And we both swore to always love each other…and that we'd always…always…be together.
Forever.
the end.
