This is a one shot only one chapter it's a song fic about Darren's ride down the mountain in the river at the beginning of The Vampire Prince. Probably come grammer/typo because I didn't edit it well.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams- The Vampire Prince
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Maybe I just hit my head, or maybe it's something more. Maybe I do feel alone… maybe there's no one who can save me anymore. I'm drowning in a sea of guilt, and in a river of bones. I only know what is ahead of me and all I can think of is Gavner and Kurda. How one friend could brutally kill one of his good friends, just to betray everyone else? Kurda how could you?
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I don't know where I'm going, for all I know is I could die in five minutes from now. So I should get it all straight in my head before… well before everything's lost, and I never know why.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
Everything I've ever felt has shattered into pieces and drowned in this water. Like I soon will, along with my dreams and my friends. I want to sleep but… I know if I do, Kurda will betray everyone and I can't let it happen. Never! That traitor will never kill Mr. Crepsley or anyone else, but especially Mr. Crepsley. He was the only one that really treated me like a father after I left my family. After my destiny turned to the darkness, to the black of night.
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My head sunk deep into the mountain's deep, I went down a drop and then hit my head on the wall. I gasped for air feeling the pain against my chest. I was hurt badly and the coldness of the water had made me completely numb. At this point I was glad I didn't have hair, because if I had it would have ripped out slowly and painfully.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
There was a crack in the wall of the rocky cavern. This was my first sight of daylight in days maybe even monthes. I saw my shadow, at first I thought it was someone trying to save me, but only a fool would believe that. "Help" I whispered to myself. I sunk underwater briefly because my tired body couldn't keep me up. My body sunk into the shallow waters of the river, along with my heart and soul. Quickly I remembered that, my soul was sinking into the water. I didn't want to stay here forever. Just thinking of sloshing around my whole afterlife. It sickened me.
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I re-surfaced and breathed in as much air as possible. Savouring it, enjoying it. I somehow believed that I could… and would live through this. I tried moving a bit but that was hopeless. The density of the water impaired my movement even more. My only hope was staying up and hoping I could sum up the strength to pull myself to the side whenever I could.
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
I'm in the middle of this. Caught in the middle. I don't know where to go, I want to cry but that will just add to the moisture, add to my sorrow and maybe I'm just afraid that if I cry… I will have given up. I think that's the end of the tunnel I see a huge beam of light, my eyes burn with the dim light of the night, but it is bright to my eyes.
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I remembered Gavner's laughter and Kurda's smile and just how all of that laughter could result in… death. How a life could be taken for the good of the enemy. I couldn't help it, nothing was alright, and yet the more I tried I couldn't think of how it could me. But to survive I had to pretend I was okay. Everything's okay… not… I'm alive! That's what alright I'm alive and I can see the beauty of the stars and the forest and I need to get out of this water.
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
I thought about everything that had happened and got out of the sea of darkness, the river of bones. I breathed in the air and lay for a few moments on the land. Just thinking nothing special. I was still alive but there was hope, hope for the vampires, and at least if I died now, I wouldn't be stuck in the river.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone…
Gavner, I will avenge you. I will not let you die in vain. And as for Kurda… I feel bad for the guy because he will get what he deserves. Even if I have to DIE!
