SUMMARY: Souls reaching out to each other. AUTHOR'S NOTES: Thanks kate! :) I stare unseeing at the sight before me, allowing the wind to ruffle my ankle- length skirt and gently lift my waist-length hair, teetering close to the edge in more ways than one. There is too much sadness filled within me for me to care, why should I go on if he's not here? Painful memories. Hidden. Trying to break free. Wrestling with the feeling of heaven, standing barefoot on the lush heather, dotted with purple flowers with the gentle caress of the light breeze trying to soothe my soul. I continue to stare. I feel someone. Is it him? Wrapping my arms round my black clad body more tightly, I turn, to find no one there. I continue to gaze at the spot in hope, tears slowly blurring my vision. Accepting defeat, I turn back to my view. The tiny glimmer of hope I had within me dies, leaving emptiness behind. I feel my shoulders slacken but I continue to stare straight ahead, head held high as determination flows through me. I make my decision. I take a step forward and allow the wind to carry me downwards, feathering my final journey. The last thing I see is blackness. I rise out of the depths of the crevice, feeling as though my soul is floating. I see him. My love. Elation flows through me; I was right. I slowly walk towards him, my blue eyes fixed on his. The wind is gently ruffling his brown hair as it is pulling at my clothes. He moves forward to meet me halfway and I fall into his arms, my head resting on his chest. It feels so good, our arms clasping each other tightly; it's been too long. My soul is singing with happiness once more, the despair and sadness deep within me slowly draining away, filling with peace. I remember our journey. I look up to his face, meeting his hazel eyes. I've found you at last, after many lonely nights searching. I see happiness reflected in his eyes. How lonely it must have been, wandering the same mountains night after night, I think sadly. The moment disappears as fast as it came, as we revel in our love for each other. We have all eternity. THE END AUTHORS NOTES: So? Was the sequel worth it? Let me know!
