And the world went on

[continued from here]

"...Knox was one of Illyria's acolytes and had ordained you to be the one to become her, he said, because he wanted someone as majestic as you to be the vessel for Illyria to return. His plans met a snag in customs when the sarcophagus that infected you, was held there, only it was released by someone who made a deal for it ( Read more... )

When a woman as intelligent as Fred, was reduced to surpressing memories that she could have tried to hold on to because of the place that we were in, when a woman, who when returning from Pylea had retreated within herself, especially in Angel's absence after Buffy's death at that point in our lives, was being strong for sanity's sake, it made me think how truly horrible that this place had to be ( ... )

"Fred, the place, the belly of the beast didn't swallow us. There was no indigestion, no heartburn for Wolfram and Hart. With any luck, they had a fatal case of trachea-blockage. Angel, Spike, Gunn and....and Illyria couldn't have failed, and with Lindsey and Lorne on our side, they might have been successful. We were the ones that allowed ourselves to be swallowed..."

I tensed up as I let his words sink in. I looked down trying to formulate my own words, trying to find the courage to relive the last few moment of my life and all that I had felt, to bring out all of the feelings of regret that I had buried away. To simply bring them forth because this place had made me cold and hard, and I wanted to feel something tangible, even if it was painful, but his hands went to my cheek, and just like that, all of my fears and doubts began to melt once again and there was only us, in love and in hell.

"I should say, that Gunn and Knox created this for you, not the belly of the beast. Your curiosity was just. I, on the other hand, was weak ( ... )

Kissing her made everything just, all of the failures, the few successes, the tragedy ( ... )

There was death, and then there was us, the ones who were stuck somewhere in between. Maybe there was a greater purpose for us, maybe we were just simple casualties of a great battle between good and evil... hmm, and that much was probably true. And now there was nothing left on earth but the flames of our love that transcended all the way down to hell. Maybe what had kept me going all this time, was a simple glimmer of hope that everything that we were doing was for the greater good of mankind.

"We played the hand that we were dealt,"And that we did, all of us did. All of us tried to make everything count, trying hard not to be swallowed hole. Trying hard to hold on to the mission, to the cause, to the dream that someday it would all be over and the world would be a better place, for everyone, for all of us. And not just one dictated to us by power and human hungry demons, or an evil law firm bent on trying to take over the world... or worlds ( ... )

"The last casualties of a war raging on earth..." I said, trailing off.

I felt his kiss and again, it sparked a shimmer of light inside of me that I thought had been long dead since that night.

"Maybe the world is a better place even if we are not in it? Maybe in death, we are finally able to be the people that we were not able to be on Earth."I smiled and closed my eyes, letting his kiss warm my cold skin, letting his voice wrap me up in its warmth like a blanket of hope where all my doubts and uncertainties could dissipate. I held him tight as I let go of all my fears. There was nothing that could get between us now. Everything had been taken away from us, and in the end we were still together ( ... )

Being here with her was mystical. It had to be. Only the very fortunate could be so lucky to have all of their dreams come true after such harrowing things had happened to both of them ( ... )

"Sorry, my love, it just occurs to me that while we are dead, we both know we are dead, that it seem that we can still feel pain....."

I gave him a sad smile and held his hand tighter. I had done the same thing when I first woke up here, in this place. I didn't understand at first where I was, or how I had gotten here. For a moment, I thought that maybe I was just losing my mind and I was lot somewhere in the firm.

Maybe I had lost myself somewhere in the park.

I thought that I was dreaming... and I that was back home with my folks, in good ol' Texas. And there had been no Pylea, no Angel Investigations and no Wolfram and Hart. For a second, there was a small feeling of relief. All kinds of crazy thoughts flowed through my head, and it took me a while to understand all that had happened. To actually believeSometimes, I guess, denial is a friend ( ... )

I touched her face. "We may not be able to die again, Fred, we may be impervious to it at this point, but that doesn't mean that being able to feel is a bad thing. If you really think about it, being able to feel, with you whole body after death has to be one of the greatest gifts ever to be given...well at least to me....you can actually still feel pleasure as well ( ... )

quietkindocrazy June 11 2005, 06:54:01 UTC

For a moment I felt warm, and alive. Almost lost in the embrace, the kiss, and the sudden feeling of relief that I didn't have to spend eternity alone. It had been so long since I felt something other than the cold of this place. But now things were gonna be different.

Or as different as a life after death can be.

I smiled at him, as I looked into his eyes and watched as they became a little alarmed. It was a subtle change, you had to really know Wesley to tell when he was thinking about something truly important... his eyes said it all.

"You are correct. Just like it was true for Lilah after Cordy...Jasmine had killed her and I had chopped her head off, she came back anyway to offer us this contract, this contract that now has us here."Lilah ( ... )

It was hard for me to comprehend that they wouldn't have all made it ( ... )

quietkindocrazy June 16 2005, 05:48:13 UTC

I smiled at him and held his hand. I could face anything now that he was here. I didn't have to face this cold and empty world alone, it wouldn't be Pylea all over again. This time things would be different.

It was a second chance, even if it was half a chance. It was- something.

"I'm sure that the world is still on its axis, Fred. And at least being dead, here and not of Earth means that I get to be with you again.""I guess in the end... book man came through," I said almost smiling again. I didn't know how he would take those words. Didn't know if it will take him back to ( ... )

pryce_less June 16 2005, 13:07:55 UTC

"Maybe some further investigating will lead us to the answers of the questions that have been filling you about exactly where here is ( ... )

quietkindocrazy June 29 2005, 00:00:08 UTC

"Fred, doesn't it strike you as odd, that other then the darkness and the dank, and the smell, that this place seems so similar to Los Angeles?"

I had been thinking the same thing ever since I had woken up in this place. In the time I was here I had ventured into many areas, trying to find a way out until I realized that there was none.

I didn't know what to really make of it. It had no real purpose other than to just be here.

I squeezed Wesley's hand tighter, as if I did loose my grip I would lose him forever and I couldn't go through all that, not again.

So I held on, as we explored this place together.

"Yeah, I noticed that too when I first woke up here. It's- always been this way. I kept hoping for signs of life, or for the sun to come up but, it never has. I mean, it almost seem like some kind of holding dimension." I said we walked through one of the more familiar streets.

"Maybe that's what this is... a holding dimension, a replica of Los Angeles. I don't know, I mean, that the only logical answer, right?"

pryce_less June 29 2005, 01:57:38 UTC

"Of course," I grandly stated.

It was sinking in like a ton of bricks over the shoulder in a bag of rope that tended to cleeve the skin or at least chafe it.

"Those of us unfortunate enough to survive the great battle that Angel started are afforted the permanent luxury of one of Wolfram and Hart's holding and or hell dimensions."

I couldn't believe that something like this didn't occur to me sooner and a scowl painted my face, even while being reunited with the woman that I loved more then any other.

I stopped and sort of moved her off of the street and into a building, suddenly feeling like we were being watched.

She looked at me a little strangely. "I think of it this way, Fred. Visibility is much easier in the open."

I was so busy thinking of scenarios and reasons that I had just managed to sound like a complete bafoon.

Besides, I kind of..not kind of, very strongly wanted to find a residence, a bed, a cot, a shower, anything and make love to her for six hours.
