Has it really been THAT long! Bloody hell, I'm sorry guys. I've been horribly busy with work, play, I lost my grandfather so I've been clearing his house and I really wanted to make this the best it could be.
I guess I have both good and bad news for you. The bad news is that this will be my final big story line for 'What's in a name'. We've had a good run you and I but we always knew it would have to come to an end some day. This story has been my life over the past few years but I've come to the point where I feel I've told Winter's story and too much more would be bad for us both and so I hope to leave on a high note.
Just so people keeping up with 'Rachy Babes' story know, this story line takes place in her future, after the story line she is working on right at this minute… Don't expect spoilers though ;)
So here it is, the beginning of the end…
RachyBabes: This is your surprise :D
Dwatlaskrhtcm: I guess the reason I put Ethel first was more for realism than feeling. I know she doesn't like it but it is her legal name and therefore would have to be read out, putting the other names in was a bit cheeky really. I'm really glad you liked the chapter and I hope you enjoy the coming ones too :)
Crimson TigerLily: Nate is a silly little creation of mine and I do love him so much. If you keep up with Rachy Babes story you'll see more of him and know he's wonderfully naïve about almost everything. It's not only fun to write but he makes re reading chapters a joy because he's just so funny. I'm really glad you like him as much as I do. Honeymoon is a little up in the air at the moment. I may write one (I know where they would go at least –Cardiff-) but all they would do is be normal for a while. Movies, dinner, dates ect. I mean, if you could go anywhere in time and space and do anything, and you spent every day moving around. Being normal and boring is almost a bit of a treat but if any ideas pop into my head then I promise I'll write them up and put them on here for you all :)
1945: Don't worry I'm sure the fighting will die down. Jack will most likely never be totally happy with Nate and Alex but I think now he's been over-ruled he'll just have to deal with it.
Sonotalady: Oh lord that essay didn't sound fun at all. I hope it went ok in the end. Luckily mine haven't been so back yet, although I have one due in soon and it's already causing problems despite the fact I haven't even started.
MoodySpark: Hope the revision for exams coming up are going well, Hopefully this will destract you for a couple of minutes, it may just fill you with dread ;P
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Safe and Sound – Taylor Swift feat. The Civil Wars
There are people that come into your life. You never know how they'll arrive or when, but they do and you never know what sort of effect they will have on you. They just blunder in and you think hardly anything of it, you get talking, you make friends and suddenly it's like you've known them your whole life.
Their breaths mixed, fast and sweet, hands gripped tightly to the other's body, 'I'm sorry sweetheart.' Fawks shook her head, tears building in her eyes.
'Win, please, come on I can fix this.' Winter gave a watery smile and shook her head.
You become so close that nothing can get between you, you fight and it's like a volcanic eruption, you love and it's a trip to paradise, you live, and it's like a new dawn. These are the people you were born to be with, the ones destiny picked out as your ideal match.
'No angel, you can't. No one can. I mean it, I'm sorry but, it has to be like this.' Fawks unconsciously shook her head back and forth. 'It's ok though.' Fawks sobbed as Winter ran a hand down her face. 'You've got John. I've got Jack.' She looked back at the door and reinforced her smile. 'and we had some good times right?' Fawks nodded, her mouth a tight smile to stop the painful sobs.
But destiny has a way of screwing with people, you meet that one person and they're married, they're from a different religion or race, they're from a different plain of existence. Destiny is a spoilt child. She has all the toys to play with in the world and she'll gladly show them off but she rarely shares. Instead she dangles them in front of your face, taunts you with images of a life that could be and then burns it up before your eyes, and all in a second.
'Better than good. We were awesome baby.' Fawks choked out.
And as I lay here next to my husband with all the perfection of a strong relationship and a happy, loving marriage.
Winter nodded and took out the knife holding it to her skin.
But all I can think about is her.
'I love you.' Fawks gripped the side of Winters face.
'I love you too.'
Short, Sweet and Ominous. Just how I like my Chapters :D What about you?
