The door to the roof swung open before then door handle was even touched. It had been so long since his last visit here....and even then, it only ended in disaster. The roof was empty...not a soul was on it, save for him and his follower. Looking out at the sky, he saw the sun just set, but its orange glow still illuminated part of the heavens. However, the higher into the sky you looked, the darker it got, until finally, it was pitc black on the opposite side. The time of day some refered to as 'dusk' he simply had named 'twilight'. Taking a seat on the ledge of the roof, he leaned his back agaisnt one of the several chimney like structures. "Odd...the way of the world..." The comment was in a hushed tone such that he seemed to be more speaking to himself than the other body on the roof. Taking a hand, one that wasn't wraped up in a tight glove, for the first time in six months, he rubed the birdge of his nose. He felt light as air...he was easily 500lbs less than what he was just a few days ago. His weighted clothing-burned. The ashes of another life had ben in the forest, and from those ashes, he had risen again. But at what cost? Deram was gone...he was a dangererous person. Not only to those around him, but to himself. His escapades in the forest, whe his sword broke, had shown him that. 'Stryker...' The name, he was sure, existed only in his mind. It was barely a whisper, but the voice was worse than Deram's ever was. It was followed by a low growl. It had been happening more and more often. Whatever was out there...whatever was whispering his name....it was getting closer. He knew he couldn't draw it to the schoo. He could feel it's power, more than anything he'd fought before...How could he bring that to his home? Shaking his head, he turned and looked at Alex. A small, weak smile turned up on his face. If nothing else, it was helping to get his mind of the issues at hand. "Love the kimono, kid." |

There was something to be said for a girl whom felt about as energetic as a rag doll and yet would follow someone all the way up to the roof, no knowing what the for nor why he had chosen this spot. She was either stupid, a better friend than she thought herself to be, or just so wrapped up in the fact that she’d be but a memory soon to worry about anything else. Following Fait left her plenty of time to think to herself. Time was growing short, and so far, it seemed someone had been looking after her. However, even now she felt herself fading more with each passing day. True she strived to keep up appearances but it seemed she wouldn’t be able to hide this. Looking to Fait now, she frowned slightly. Maybe in another life they both could have been different. Though her body felt like collapsing after the hike up here, she remained standing even as Fait sat. Alex was also quite stubborn, and she wouldn’t show weakness of any sort could she help it. Clasping her hands together the sleeves of the kimono fell to meet each other, hiding them from sight as she looked out over the school. Casting her eyes upward, she felt a wave of dizziness cross her, but she managed not to waver. Half-closed eyes looked up to the sky, underlying hints of sorrow crossing their surface. Could the world just stop for one brief second and let her breathe, or at least catch up with it? No, of course not, that would be far too nice a deed for something so cruel. Tilting her head back down she closed her eyes waiting for him to speak, and he did. Turning to look at him, she cast a sincere yet sad smile. “Thank you. Diana made it actually, believe or not she’s actually quite handy with things like that.” Looking away from him, she held that expression. ‘Kid’, she had never liked being called that, by anyone. Somehow, this time she didn’t seem to care as she did the last. Far too many worse things could have been said and it was almost endearing the way he said it. Something told her there was more to this than idle conversation. Turning to face Fait fully she kept her hands clasped as she looked down on him. She really didn’t want to stir up anything, but intuition told her to go ahead and bite the bullet. Be the bad guy and ask the questions that no one else would want to ask. Yet she respected his privacy and if he had something to tell her then he would. Right now she only wanted to know one thing. “Fait, why did you bring me up here?” |

Her question floated around through his mind. Obliviously, she wasn't one for small talk. However, that was exactly how he was, when they had last met. All business...not a thing personal about it. Little did she know that he had changed since their last encounter. He had grown immeasurably stronger, stronger than even he liked to admit. It was frightening. He had even managed to kill the person closest to him. Demon or not, it kept him company. Now, however, the gleaming set of ruby red eyes was gone; never to be seen again. Casting his gaze down, he looked at the small chips of cement and rocks blowing around with the breeze. Without looking back up to her, he gave her the answer she was craving. "The roof is closer than my ship. Ohh, and by the way...You can have it. I won't be needing it anymore, and something tells me you would know more about it than me anyways...." With a light sigh, he picked his head up to look at the skies once more. It was growing darker, and stars were starting to shine through the thick blanket of night. Another high pitched screech echoed in his mind, a low growl underlying it. Something was happening inside of him, and he wasn't exactly sure what. No matter what it was, however, he felt he was being pulled in two directions. Should he shed himself of darkness, and venture into the light? Or rather, cast off the light, and sink onto darkness? Shaking his head once more, he turned to look at Alex. Something was wrong with her...She was tired, but why? She was hiding something, that much was for sure. His thoughts lingered for a moment before settling on the glass orb he had left for her so many months ago. "Hey Alex...Can I see that orb I gave to you? The glass one?" |

“The… ship…” It was merely a whisper as she recalled the image of the structure all the while wondering why he had given it to her just now, she never asked for it, never even dreamed of such a thing, but she was thankful if not slightly confused as well. “I’ll take care of it as best I can.” Or for as long as she could. If time permitted, she would have loved to fix it, and possibly make it fully operational. It could be done, she had the patience and the tools, but the time it would take was more than she currently had. That though aside she watched him carefully, knowing that there was something terribly off about him and not being able to pint it directly. She was still fighting over the odd stipulations of his appearance, and still drawing a blank. Fait then asked of the orb that he had given her. Her hand instinctively went up to her chest, even through the fabric she could feel it sitting there, right next to her locket. “Funny you should mention that.” She reached around and behind her neck, tugging at the chain to her necklace and pulling it over her head and from within the confines of her clothing. A while back, she had ventured out and found someone to make an alteration to the small structure, giving it a loop so that she could place on the same chain as her locket. She stood, looking at the two small pieces now, the way they seemed so perfectly clear. It was almost sickening; nothing was that perfect, no matter how much she wanted to believe otherwise. Alex removed the small pieces from her chain carefully, if anything she somewhat treasured this tiny article. It possibly held more meaning for her than even Blitz did. This orb was something that represented a change in her life, both a good and a drastic one. Holding it out to Fait so he could take it she smiled, weakly so, but it was sincere nonetheless. “I have never been without it, not since you gave it to me. I hope you don’t think me silly, but it happens to mean a lot to me.” |

A small smirk lit up his face as he watched her reaction to the ship comment. She was from the future, and she was highly technologically advanced. Who better to give it to? His eyes shot to the halves of the glass sphere as she took it from beneath her shirt. He was glad she had stayed with it, really. He hadn't put all too much time into it that night, but it had come out rather nice. Noting her small smile, he gently took the orbs from her. She would soon learn he was still un-naturally warm, and his hands, thanks to being covered with thick gloves, were soft in some spots, and incredibly thick and rough in others. Holding the two halves together, he stared for a moment, turning to look out in front of him as he held them up. "I'm glad that they mean something to you...it would have been a waste if they didn't." Setting the glass half circles down on the ledge, he let his eyes close for a moment. A harsh breeze flew past as he stood up on the ledge, his eyes still shut. One hand at his side, the other went to the sword at his side. Calling upon the soul of his lost friend, the blade started to glow a bright green as it hummed lightly. It was unsheathed about an inch, but still looked rather...peaceful. Out of nowhere, a glowing orb started to appear. It wasn't truly one color, but a multitude of different shades of blue, red, orange, white, and black. The orb started getting larger at an incredible rate, going from marble to beachball in about two seconds, and still growing. With a slight grunt, however, the orb condensed once more, until it was no bigger than a softball. At this point, Fait took his glowing green sword out of his sheath, and with blinding speed, slashed it right in half. As soon as the blade had been taken out, it was back. However, it as no longer glowing green. The orb in front of him was holding the green glow now, but was highly unstable. The move he had just pulled was incredibly dangerous, much like splitting an atom. with a wave of his hand, the two halves of glass came up into either of his hands, and in a small burst of light, the glowing orb was encased in the glass shell. It still pulsated, and colors swirled inside the glass surface. There was no seam, it seemed as if they had been made together like that. With a slow, labored breath, Faits arms sagged down slightly. Making a Dragon Sphere was still tiring, especially when he added in everything he had to it. Holding th orb in his hand, he looked at it for a moment before holding a hand back out to Alex, the orb in his open palm. "Don't lose this...It'll help you out when you need it. You'll know how when the time comes..." |

A chill ran down her spine as he took the small object from her hand. It seemed that something would never change, but unfortunately, Alex’s own body temperature was a bit lower than normal and now she realized just how warm his skin actually was. Watching him look over it, she felt a small sense of pride in her. She had taken careful care with them since he left them behind for her, as she did with everything. His comment caused her to stop and think. Indeed, it would have been a waste, but Alex tried not to take anything for granted. Her attention came back to him as she felt the wind blow past her. That alone caught her off guard, but not as much as the orb, that soon appeared. It was hypnotizing to watch the colors it produced and at the same time frightening, as she watched it, not knowing what he was doing or what it was. The fact that it enlarged itself within mere seconds did nothing to soothe her every growing curiosity. She jumped as he sliced through it, Fait never ceased to amaze her as the orb now took on the green glow. Watching him encase it in the two glass halves was another show all its own as she had to squint from the light it produced. Blinking a few times so that her eyes would readjust to the light she looked at him, noting that this hand was held out to her. She stepped closer and carefully removed the orb from his hand held it up to her eye level. It was still glowing still, and the two halves were sealed completely, it was flawless. Stringing back on he chain she clasped it around her neck and returned it to its original resting place. “Fait, please don’t think I’m ungrateful, but why are you giving me these things? The ship, this orb, is there something going on that you’re not telling me?” She hadn’t truly wanted to ask him that, but Alex knew there had to be a reason behind it all. Sure, she would have liked to of fantasized and pretend he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart just because he liked her, but she knew better. As much as she wanted to think otherwise she had a feeling, the answer to her question wasn’t one she would want to hear. Why do you ask the questions when you don’t want to hear the answers? That was the memory of her brother coming back to haunt her and Alex suddenly realized she would never see him again. That could be said for many people but she hadn’t exactly parted on good terms with him. Shrugging she knew there was nothing she could do about that now, so there was no reason to think on it any longer. The guilt would just have to die with her. |

Fait had stayed still as she had taken back her orb. His eyes had stayed fixed upon the glowing explosion in its container. It was awkward...despite what little time they had spent together, he had grown closer to her than most people at the school. However, that didn’t seem to matter much. They may never see each other again after what happened right now. That thought was confirmed as another ear piercing screech rang out in his ears, followed by...Marching? Surely he was mistaken...From what he had heard, there were at least thousands of beings marching...but to what? Shaking his head, he was thankful that Alex’s voice pierced through the silence, taking him back out of his little nightmare. “Why...?” The statement had came out in a rather confused state. From what he had just listened to, it took a few moments for Alex's question to actually seep through and get to his brain. Blinking a few times, his lifeless black eyes lifted slightly, looking right at her. She truly was one that always wanted to get right to the point, wasn't she? If he had more time, he would have taught her that ignorance was bliss. However, there wasn't any. He wouldn't risk staying around. Gulping slowly, he took a deep breath and hopped down from his perch on the ledge, leaning back against it gently. His arms crossed over his chest as he tried to play off the visage of happiness with a small smile. His thoughts raced for a moment as how best to string his answer together. Did he truly want to tell her? No...They were both hiding things at this point. However, Fait knew, and Alex didn't. Mentally shaking his head, he looked at her once more. "The Ship...So that you have something to do with your spare time. You seem mechanically oriented, so I figured it would be something for you to play with..." His voice broke off a small bit, his head sagging slightly on his chest. "And the Orb...That's for your protection, when I can't be here for you anymore." The words had slipped from his mouth with noticably increasing mental anguish. His voice had gotten too weak to continue. Alex always did have an odd habit of catching him at times whenever he was in terrible mental pain, or just completely detatched. His gaze stayed locked on the ground at his feet, as if he were studying the sneakers he wore. He no longer had anything...His training was complete, His best friends, shattered. And now, he was being hunted. During his small pause, he was preparing himself for, quite possibly, the hardest thing he had ever had to say, since arriving at AHS. "I'm leaving, Alex. I Can't stay here anymore. There's something happening inside of me that I can't control...and I'm not going to endanger anyone while I try and figure it out. I honestly don't know if I'll ever come back..." His voice was cut out by another hard gulp. Looking up, his eyes had seemed to frost over lightly. With a sad smile, he looked at Alex once more. "You take care of yourself, eh?" |

She watched carefully, with that same cautious yet adoring eye she always had for him. Fait could never see what she did, he’d never know just how much actually admired and looked up to him. It was strange really, most girls in her position would have been of in a dream world, but then she would have missed it all. She wouldn’t see the way he moved, the expressions he held while trying to hide another. All the little things she had taken for granted so many times before seemed to come clear now as she looked at him. Awaiting the answer to her question, she knew, it was nothing she wanted to hear. She listened as he attempted to sugar coat his words. Was he scared to tell her the truth? Like things could possibly get any worse. A small smile came over her lips as she heard him say that she was ‘mechanically oriented’, it was too true she mused. Yet there was more to come from the broken boy in front of her. The words came, and their meaning hurt. When he couldn’t be here for her anymore. Had he been here? Had he truly always been here for her? Of course he had, strange as it was, he had. In her memories, in her thoughts, his lessons ran deep. She knew then, even before he actually said it, Fait was leaving. That explained why he had given all these things. It never failed. Every time someone was leaving, they had to give her something. They just had to go and leave the memories behind to haunt her. It was selfish of her to be angry with him. Even if he did come back, chances were she wouldn’t be here to greet him. Part of her hated herself for that, the other half was happy the pain wouldn’t last long. It was then Alex felt something build up inside her that she hadn’t felt in years. She refused to look him in the eye, adverting her gaze away from him, a clearly upset look on her face. One that crossed the boundaries of anger and sadness, she refused this emotion; she hated what it did to her. Alex had vowed a long time ago that she would not be broken, but the truth was, she was tearing apart inside. She’d done it to herself, and only to herself. There was no point now, she couldn’t play anymore, there was just no need to pretend that she could be strong, so she didn’t. Just as she had done in the forest so many months ago, Alex made a bold move. Remembering his acute senses, she carefully yet pleadingly wrapped her arms around him, gripping the back of his shirt as tight as she could. She followed through by burying her head in his chest and pressing to him as if life depended on it and she’d die if she let go. She wanted him to feel what she did, as her body shook with the first choked sob she let slip. There were no second chances in this life. What a sight she must have been, pathetic and weak, clinging to the boy in such a manner soaking his shirt with tears. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want you to stay, but it’s so selfish...” The words came out as a rushed whisper among sobs of desperation. The weak girl continued to hold tight to him for all her worth. “I’m not even sure…” She stopped then. What was she going to say? Voice her inability to know if she would even be here if he returned. No, she didn’t want to cause him more stress than he was already dealing with. As she had done so many times before Alex felt sorry for someone, this time it was just on a different level. She wanted so much to be numb now, to not feel this horrible pain rip through her would be a little piece of heaven she knew she’d never be able to see but she would never have it that way. Finally, she looked up at him, still clinging as if he were some sort of security blanket, her only means to not fall from reality. Her eyes overflowing with salty tears that cascaded down her pale cheeks in miniature rivers. “This… could very well be… the last time we see each other.” |

Needless to say, Fait was taken aback by the sudden outburst of affection from the girl. He felt a sharp exhale leave his body as she gripped him tightly. The small orb she had hanging around her neck pushed into his lower chest gently as she continued to attempt to squeeze the life out of him. It took him a few moments for the initial shock to wear off. He hadn't been hugged like this in nearly a year...he barely had physical contact at all. His facial expression had stayed rather dumbfounded for a few good seconds before he shook his head vigorously and looked down at the girl that was soaking his shirt. Just hearing her sobs was enough to shatter his being to pieces. Knowing that her sorrows were at least in part due to him, hit him on a level that hurt far more than any blow ever could. With a slow, deep breath, that seemed to get increasingly difficult with every passing second, his eyes shut tight. Without putting much thought into it, he wrapped his arms tightly around Alex's small frame and pulled her closer to him. Any emotional barrier he had set up for himself crumbled in that one, simple act. He was still human, despite everything...He still needed someone to be close to. She wanted him to stay. That much was obvious. From where he stood, it would seem a miracle if she ever even let him go. However...He wasn't sure if he even wanted to be let go at this point. Torn between knowing he had to leave, and the sweet bliss that would be to stay in Alex's arms, he found himself wishing that he could just stop time where it stood now, and just stay on the roof for the rest of his days. It would be a better fate than what awaited him out past the limits of the school campus. Her comment about this moment being the last time they would be together was the last hole in a sinking ship. Lifting his head up slightly to look her in the eyes, only to see her tears steadily pouring from them, didn't help his situation. "D...Don't say that Al'..." His voice came out barely more than a whisper, and shaky, at that. With another hard gulp, he forced out a small smile. As ripped to shreds as he was, his smile displayed it as such. His eyes, he knew, frosted over whenever he was sad, or upset. Now, it felt like they had hit subzero. Even if he were to let a tear slip, it would have frozen at the side of his eye. Mentally, he shook his head. His comment was meant to be optimistic...but they both knew they were hoping against hope. He was leaving to cheat death, and in his absence, it seemed she wouldn't be able to share his fate. "Even if this is our last...Just know I'll always be with you...no matter how far." |

Maybe the girl should have been shocked from the return as Fait pulled her closer, but it never came. If anything, she was more thankful for it, realizing that for once Fait was able to let himself go just as she had. He was able to feel, just as she was letting it all out, Alex had never been so open in all her life. These moments always seemed to come under the most dire of circumstances. Nevertheless, Alex wouldn’t have changed it for anything, the pain, the bitter sweetness of it all. She only wanted what was best for him and if that meant him leaving, then she would just have to accept it, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t let him know he’d be missed. Looking up at him, she could still see so much, even through blurred vision but that was only because she wasn't looking with her eyes. Despite the situation she smiled, he was right after all. His presence would always be there. She would cling to his memory forever. Fait was not someone to be easily forgotten. Not after something like this, not after she let him see her at her weakest moment. Alex given up on many things, but not him, she doubted her ability to even let him go now. It would come eventually, all things both good and bad had to end sometime. Had she known it would be like this, she would have acted differently, would have tried to make it all better. All the while knowing it wouldn’t have changed a thing. She broke the eye contact for only a moment as she rested the side of her face against his chest. “I’m never going to forget you Fait. You’ll always be on my mind, in my thoughts, in my heart, no matter what happens.” She looked up at him again and even though her eyes were laced with sorrow, there was the slightest hint of hope deep within them. “I can’t help thinking and hoping that we’ll meet again someday. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even a hundred years from now, but I’m sure I’ll see you again.” This is the last conversation they would have, and there was so much she wanted to say to him. Words couldn’t express them all, and if she tried she would have gone on for days in an endless babble. There was no time for all of that now, and no room for regret here. Holding him like this, standing here wrapped in his arms she felt safe. The thoughts of what would happen after this terrified her, but for now she wouldn’t think, she’d only act. Somewhere among the heavy mood Alex found the strength to bring one of her hands up to gently stroke his cheek. The other was grasping at him as before, she still couldn’t let go, not yet. With a little more effort she lifted herself up on to her toes, moving her hand to the back of his head and pulling him down gently until his lips met hers in a kiss. There was nothing else she could give him. This was all she had, and she wanted him to know this was what it was to live, to take chances, and in not so many words, to be loved. |

Seeing a smile pull at the corners of her lips produced one from him to match it. When she put her head back against his chest, his cold black eyes slowly took a shift towards the darkening skies above them. The sun had since become ecplipsed behind the horizon, sunken again into its dark abyss, casting the roof once again, in darkness. Ominous black clouds had since rolled over and filled up the sky as far as could see, completely blocking out the full moons glow. More absentmindedly than anything, Fait let one of his hands slowly sift through her hair. Tonight, soon enough, he knew would be the bitter ending to a slow decay. His sorrowful gaze lowered to look back down at her as she continued to let her words wrap around and fill his mind. Seeing a glint of something that wasn't completely depressive in her orbs was almost worthy of lifting his spirits, had the setting and context not been so dreary. The skin of her hand that came in contact with his cheek was unexpected, but thats not to say it wasn't welcomed. His hand stopped near the back of her head, the other still holding her close to him. His eyes nearly shut halfway as he pressed his cheek gently into her hand. Despite the incredible sensation it gave him, he didn't want it to stop. And as she pulled him down to meet her, he swore, he could hear the skies open up. The second that they came in contact with one another, also gave way to the first drop of rain to land on the roof. Thankfully, Fait was long gone by then. When their lips collided, he felt a spark pour forth between them. After all, he was a lightning meta. But there was more to it than that, and they both knew it. It was starting to sink in that this would quite possibly be the last time that they saw eachother; so he didn't hold back a thing. The longer they seemed connected, the harder the rain came down around them. The cold rain water dripped down into the tear soaked kiss they were sharing, helping to make it an experience that he would never forget. Their conflicting passions, at least on his end, would send forth a message that would sink deeper than any words or scripts, and hopefully the words he was etching into her heart would not be soon forgotten. Like so many other things before it in his lifetime, this moment would have to come to an end. Reluctantly, and rather slowly, he pulled away from her and opened his eyes once more, a fresh breath of cold air filled his lungs. Once more, his hand sifted through her soaked hair, a crushed smile looking her in the face. "Don't worry Alex....I'll come back to you. I promise.." Without even having to look, he knew what was happening behind him. The sky had opened up -- the clouds parted enough to let a pure white beam of moonlight through, and let him bask in it. Blinking once more, he could feel one of his crystalized tears slip from the corner of his eye and into her hand. Slowly, he unwrapped from her and took a step back. The clouds slowly started to close back up, leaving his window of opprotunity small. For a brief moment, his eyes changed from black and lifeless, to normal, vivid green eyes as he let his hand run along her tear stained cheek. His hand slipped away as his gaze shot to the ground, frozen rain drops falling off his face. Slowly, his body lifted up off the ground and flew backwards, fleeing into the moonlit path the sky had set for him. Halfway through, all he had to accompany him was the sound of the rain, and the sounds of what was awaiting him on the other side. Death and destruction, loss and sorrow...there was nothing good to come of being away from the person he felt so strong for. His eyes stayed locked on her until he had drifted pass the beam of moonlight, and the clouds sealed back up. With that, he was gone. The rain only fell harder after that, the sky pitch black. Nothing would ever be the same after this night. |

It was all too surreal for reality, too right, and she would relinquish herself freely to this one moment in time and lock it away forever like some precious treasure. This one instant when she felt all her inhibitions go and allow herself to bask in the consequences of her own actions without restraint would not go unrewarded. Though her body felt the rain, her mind concluded that it couldn’t decipher the difference between it and her own tears. All she knew was the return in that kiss; she felt all the things that went unspoken. The hidden messages they dared not to speak coming in loud and clear all through one simple action and the perfection of silence. Residing herself to this one truth she hope build up within her, and as he pulled away she felt reality circle back down all around her at an agonizingly slow pace. The only thing she saw when opening her eyes were his own. He made a promise then, and in her silence, she made her own. There were no words, only the look in her eyes. She would wait for him, for however long, if that were what it took before she could hear his voice, see him before her, or even hold him like this again. She felt something cold hit the palm of her hand before she pulled it away. The contact between them was already missed, but she held steadfast already feeling the distance between them. She wouldn’t crumple, not now, not knowing what she did. There was too much hope to let it all fall away now. Watching him, she dared not to blink. Catching sight of green in his eyes, she smiled not knowing what was pounding more, her heart, or the rain that was falling down around them. The simple touch of his hand on her cheek was like a sweet torture and she wanted so badly not to let him slip away like this, but it was inevitable. Like some beacon from a place beyond her comprehension, she watched, as Fait seemed to just drift away. Her eyes locked on him as he ascended, never hindering from their focus until he was totally out of sight. Alex remained looking up like that for some time. The rain fell harder and the sky showed no signs of letting up, but still she lingered. Her clothes were soaked to the core at this point and the cold wet fabric pressed against her skin under the waters weight sending small chills up and down her spine. This minor act pulled the girl from her daydream, making her realizing where she was and what exactly had just happened. Tilting her head down she took a brief moment to fell the rain, the results of which reminded her that she was in fact, still alive. A heavy sigh shook her small frame and she smiled sadly to herself. This was life, the pleasure and the pain. Without loss, sadness, or even grief she’d never know what it was to be truly happy. If this was one of the many stepping-stones of that path then she just have to tread carefully. She would never forget Fait, and she’d never know what lay ahead in either of their futures, but she would wait for him. In this world, he had been given a life, granted its length was undetermined, it was still her own. With that in mind, Alex did something she had done countless times before. Drying her eyes of the tears, she lifted her head, held herself straight and managed to move forward, leaving the ominous weather behind her, while graciously taking the memories and locking them away. In her parting hoping all the while, that somehow, things would turn out just fine, for both of them. (( About time I posted this. ~Fin~ )) |
