Lucky Enough to Live

by flying feather scribbles

[Sequel to Explosive Energy] Emmaline has started her life over. Then she runs across a sudden fight between Superheroes and Super-Villains near Central Park and finds Danny injured. She takes him back to her apartment to find he is dying and there's nothing she can do, and his friends don't even know. Just a great new start of her final days to life.

28. The End

DISCLAIMER: I only own my OC's and the idea. I don't own Ultimate Spider-Man or the quotes.

WARNINGS: I am not responsible for any sadness or tears that may result from this chapter. Well, technically I am, being the authoress who decided to torture the characters in such a way, but... don't get mad! Anyways, there's a sequel, so ... if that makes you feel better... (you knew this was coming!).

A/N: I would listen to a really sad song as you read this if I were you. If you don't know any sad songs, then I'd try "The Blower's Daughter" or "Nine Crimes" (both by Damien Rice), "Hallelujah" (by anybody that you want to listen to), "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles. You get the idea, I'm sure.

Chapter 28: The End

"In every shadow there is light

In every tear, a smile.

In death, I know there is still life

That lingers for awhile..."

-Author Unknown

K'un L'un is majestic. Beautiful. It lives up to its name.

The mountains take my breath away, and as I step off of the plane, I feel suddenly faint. The entire city is surrounded by a golden aura of energy that makes me feel weak. Calmly, Danny stands beside me. Three elderly monks bow to Danny.

"Namste, Sensei." Danny bows.

"Namaste, Daniel." The shortest of the three eyes me over his half moon glasses. "Why is the Hayat Ruh with you?"

"My love has come to sleep eternally, to end her struggle with life." Danny's voice is even, but I feel terrified of these people.

"Then let us end this." The other two monks nod in agreement.

Danny leads me to the monastary, which leaves me in complete awe. Everything here is gorgeous, sacred. At the end of a long hallway is a doorway. Danny grasps me by my shoulders, whispering once more in my ears. I nod. I am ready for this.

Tears well up in Danny's eyes, and we embrace each other. I never want to let go. Carefully, his hand unwavering, Danny pushes open the golden door. A large bed dominates the room, and I slowly walk towards it. When I reach it at last, Danny stops me.

This place is sacred. But that does not stop us from kissing. The most passionate, heartfelt kiss goodbye of my life.

He tucks me in, then, his hand shaking, offers me a vial of liquid.

It burns my throat, and I swallow hard, trying to keep myself from throwing up. My stomach churns, and I try to relax. Danny strokes my sweaty forehead, giving me a gentle kiss.

The candles are flickering—no, my vision is fading away. I take one last look at those beautiful, soulful green eyes to see the life within.

"Emmaline, Seni seviyorum. Her zaman, kraliçem. Ben öpücük ile uyanmak kadar şimdi uyku." Danny's peaceful voice calms me, and I feel tired. Sleepy. I am ready.

I part my lips, and manage to croak, "Danny, Seni seviyorum. Her zaman, benim kral. Eğer öpücük bana uyanmak kadar şimdi uyku."

I love him. But now, I sleep.

Blissful darkness. A faint little lamp. I walk down the tunnel, and embrace the light.

Thank you so much, everybody, who has reviewed.

The sequel should be up really soon. It is in the Ultimate Spider-Man category, called, "Stones Taught Me to Fly".

Again, thank you.
