Thanks to Silver & Jungwon. ************* Iris by Sherry C ************* People tend to think that when their lovers die, they would cry to death, cannot control the sorrow, and even faint. But I guess that's the things happen only in the movies. Watching Angent Mulder, this whole things seems to be just an exaggeration. Making false facts to disguise the true spirit of the love. He seems very calm. Wishing her partner's happiness in the world to come. That's what a true lover do. "Agent Mulder, would you please explain what happened yesterday?" Section chief. He's doing it again. Just the same as the last time when Mulder was found dead, he asked Scully to recall the grievous memories. His death was a lie, but this time, Scully's death is for real. "Illegal invaders trespassed on the bank and wanted money. They insisted on bombing the building, In the train, there were terrorists who wanted one billion dollars. They took all of people in the train as hostages. Agent Scully... and I were one of the hostages as well. We were on our way to Detroit for investigation. As an FBI agent, I tried to convince them that it's no good holding innocent people here, but one of them pointed a gun at me while others were keeping eyes on other hostages. Suddenly, from my back, I heard a gunshot then he died who was pointing gun at me. Rest of them shot Scully as she killed one of the guy. As there were some people with guns, it was all over smoothly. They were just beginners. It was not so hard to control the situation." Deadpanned, no facial expression. But his eyes are telling that his sorrow is too hard for him to bear, missing his lover. "That was very well-done, Agent Mulder. Very well-done. Now gentlemen, let's close the meeting for today. Oh and I'm sorry for Agent Scully. She was one of our very best agents." Section chief doesn't seem to care about how Agent Mulder feels. He just care about the result. The case which seemed to become an world-wide affair has been under control. And that very quickly. That's the thing he only cares. The only place he would be is her office. There he is, arranging her old stuff. Flashing his memory. "Agent Mulder. You're looking through the old files?" "Yeah. Just to think about happy days." "I came down here to let you know that her funeral is the day after tomorrow." "I'm aware of it. But I don't know if I'm qualified to go there. She died because of me. She died in front of my eyes, she were shot on the stomach. You know shot on the stomach is one of the most painful and time-taking death. I got the wedding ring which I intended to give her at a suitable time, but as there was not much time left, I put it on her finger. It was a diamond ring. Very expensive. She's worth it. She smiled. She said it's so beautiful. As it reflected the sun, she said it's iris. I asked her. If she would marry me. She said yes and said she loved me so much, she loves me, and she'll always love me. I told her the same thing. I tried to kiss her but she vomitted. She was so sorry for me while I was the one who should be sorry. Second kiss was the kiss I've never had before. It can't be more passionate. I still could taste the cappuccino she had a few minutes ago. That was the very moment I felt oh if only I could turn back time. I felt her lips getting cold, time to let her die in peace. I held her very tight till I was sure she died. I kept on denying. What am I talking right now?" Don't know how to soothe him I just show him the expression that I don't really care about the matter so much even though I am. "You'd never understand A.D. Skinner. Never. No one can understand me." "She was pregnant. Autopsy came out." "I know. She asked me for a donor, and I said yes." "How long has it been?" "2 months." "The autopsy came out as 4 months. You or.." "Yes, it's me." Many emotions across his face. He may be thinking what I'm thinking. The next day, he was found dead. They were laid beside each other. How beautiful. I think even the old fairy love tales cannot be so tragic and beautiful as this. The rainbow was over the blue sky. Just like the way the diamond ring reflected the sun. Mulder once asked me how would I describe Scully in one word. I didn't, I couldn't answer his question that time, but now I can. "Iris" - goddess of the rainbow, so many different colors that you don't know what color she may reflect this time. I'd call the color of their love as iris too, not only 7 colors but also so many obscure colors between them. Iris.... =The End= Did you enjoy reading it? I'd love to hear from you.
