"Take it with you but promise to bring it back. If you promise," Sam reaches over, grabbing Danny's hand with both of her own. "then-then I know I'll see you again." Her gaze drops to the ground. Danny bows his head for a short second, nervousness clouding within him, butterflies tickled his stomach as does Sam. Lifting it up just as Sam did, he spoke.
"If we make it through this," Danny started but was interrupted. "WHEN we make it through this." Sam corrected. "Right. WHEN we make it through this, I-I have a few things I need to talk to you about." Danny said biting his lip.
"I think I'll be willing to listen and no matter how this thing ends I wouldn't change it." Sam intertwines Danny's hands along with hers. Danny lets go, placing his hands on her fore arms, centimeters from her face." Me either I-"Danny was once Again interrupted by a small peck on the cheek. He looks at Sam in surprised yet a relived expression. Place index finger under her chin, lifting her face so she faced his, then leaned forward and captured her lips in a passionate but soft kiss. Fireworks and sparks explode like the fourth of July. From that day on they knew they were always Destined to be together, as one.
Tears clouded his vision as he faced the tree the two lovers sat 6 years ago. On the tree was carved inside and badly carved heart, DxS. A smile grazed Danny's features as he rubbed his fingers over the heart, his finger feeling the rough texture. "I'm so sorry Sam. I failed." As Danny balled his hand in a fist and banged it on the tree, green colored leaves softly flew onto the ground without a sound. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Falling to his knees with his other hand supporting his body weight, keeping him from hitting the ground. Tears wildly fell from his face as his whole body racked from sobs. He whimpered as his heart ached as does his head from so much strain. He slowly quieted down enough to whisper the small little promise he had made to the man who viciously snatched his life away. "He will pay…" wiping his tears away, he stood up and growled his threat once more, but stronger. "He WILL pay."
I tried to walk together
But the night was growing dark
Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone
Sometimes I hear you calling
From some lost and distant shore
I hear you crying softly for the way it was before
The night, now interrupted by the light on the horizon. The once peaceful, quiet night is transformed to a bright, busy morning. The beautiful stars that encased the night now fading away along with the dark sky. The world was now waking up. Employers crowded the streets slowly as time goes by, buying coffee and running to their current job. Cars honking and blaring angrily at each other. As drivers poke their own heads out, yelling and protest to the other driver in front.
Where are you now?
Are you lost?
Will I find you again?
Are you alone?
Are you afraid?
Are you searching for me?
Why did you go? I had to stay
Now I'm reaching for you
Will you wait? will you wait?
Will I see you again?
A man, no older than 20 years old, groaned and shuffled against the soft grass as the own sun's rays crawled on his face, making his unnatural black lines visible. Sweat prickled his forehead, his own breathing ragged as his own nightmares consumed him, nightmares that only seem to feel more close to reality than himself.
"Please, no…" Switch positions once again, clawing at his chest. Tear streaming freely down his face, falling onto the now wet grass. "Not her, please." Clawing his chest more, his knees coming up to his chest. "Sammy don't go please. I need you please don't leave me here." Now hugging his knees, Danny cried more as his dreams incased his mind, toying with it. "I l-love you s-so much pl-please." Suffering, sorrow filled the boy's heart. Loneness and pain had cut a deeper gash into his already wounded heart.
"Shh Danny it's all going to be okay. I love you so much don't ever forget that. Now get up, my love, get up." An angelic voice whispered oh so softly into his ears. Planting a sweet kiss on his cheek and returning to his ear. "Now rise love, don't ever fall. You're my hero." The voice quietly faded as it left. Danny opened his eyes quickly and stood up in inhuman speed.
You took it with you when you left
These scars are just a trace
Now it wanders lost and wounded
This heart that I misplaced
Nothing
He saw nothing but the beautiful sun as it rises. The orange and yellow colors danced on his face. Danny closed his eyes as he felt the heat of the rays. The wind blew into his face, entangling his hair like her fingers as she ran through his hair in a long, stressful day. Lifting his arms not too far up, feeling at peace for a moment. A moment he hadn't felt in so long. A small smile worked its way up his face 'Sam would have loved this.'
Than that sweet laughter filled the air, ever so quietly. Slender arms worked its way around his waist, soft hair tickled his neck as a head lay on his shoulder, next to his ear. Without opening his eyes, he slowly rubbed the bare arm with his own hand in a loving way. His silver promise right shining against the light.
"Don't give up Danny. Not yet, not ever." The embrace tightened. "I love you and I'm so proud of you," The voice whispered. "But you got to get up. Come to me, come home. I need you." Danny smiled. "Oh Sammy, I missed you so much. I want to go home but I can't." A sigh escaped from his mouth, "Not for a while." A comforting kiss was implanted below his earlobe. "I know." A tear rolled down Danny cheek but otherwise kept his eyes closed shut tightly, too afraid to open them; too afraid for the one dream, the one sane thought he had to just disappear.
"Will I ever come home, meet our son, love you and have a life ever again? Will I die without saying good-bye?"
Where are you now?
Are you lost?
Will I find you again?
Are you alone?
Are you afraid?
Are you searching for me?
Why did you go? I had to stay
Now I'm reaching for you
Will you wait? will you wait?
Will I see you again?
A small hush was passed into the panicking man's ear. "You're coming back. You're going to meet out son, you're going to wake with me in your arms. We're going to grow old and share our memories with our grandchildren and watch as they run around and playing in the grass like we used to do when we were young." A small hand ran up his stomach to his chest slowly and rubbed his chest with the pad of her thumb. "I love you and your love for our family is going to keep you running. You understand?" Danny nodded his head in understanding.
Soft lips peck Danny's cheek. "Good-bye my love." The final words hanged in the air, leaving without a single trace in sight. Danny's immediately snapped open, attempting to grasp the wind but instead it just continue flow. "Sammy come back." Danny whispered.
Eyes open quickly, ragged gasps escaped through Danny's lips. His sweaty hands grasping the grass but slipped easily through his fingers like silk. Controlling his breathing enough, Danny looked up into the sky. The same starry night he had seen the 'night before' had met his gaze. Without breaking his gaze with the night sky, Danny slowly reached his shaky hands to his hair, combing through it then tightly gripping it.
But then he heard it
That same angelic laugh that filled the silenced air. 'Look down.' The same voice he had heard previously in his dreams, whispered ever so sweetly into his ears. Dropping his hands in an agonizing slow speed, laying then limply at his sides. Danny looked down at the park, a gasp had caught in his throat. Not because of the familiar water fountain, the garden or the trees all around the park but something a lot more…beautiful. The once dark park, dimmed once from the light posts, was now lightened by hundreds of fireflies fluttering on the grass, hovering over the fountain. But what had surprised him the most was what the hundreds of the 'night light' flies had formed. There before him, stood a symbol he hadn't seen in so long.
