You guys have been waiting for it, and here it is! Yay! *fanfare!* Heehee, I orginally intended to post this up on Ikarishipping Day ( June 28th fyi ) since that was the day I ended LM:SSR but I had this done for about a week and I could not wait the few days to post it up. Although, I don't think you guys mind ;) lol
I don't know why, but the writer in me loves to write prologues for storier first instead of chapter 1 right away so I'm gonna start this off differently and use a prologue/preface ( i can never tell the difference lol)
Oh yeah! If you have not read Lady Marmalade: Sweet Sweet Revenge, stop reading this and go read that before reading this! Trust me, this story won't make sense if you don't. Well, I guess it would but it would be A WHOLE LOT BETTER if you read the first one first heehee.
I hope you guys enjoy Lady Marmalade: The Sweet and The Bitter! I was kinda iffy writing this so far since I haven't wrote in the marmalade-universe in soooooo long! But I had it checked out, and I think this'll do! Here's the Prologue!
Prologue: Shattered and Fragile
Enjoy!! and have a Happy Ikarishipping Day June 28th!
I guess things turned out perfect, you and me.
As long as I am with you, there is nothing imperfect in my life.
Because you are my life.
Your eyes, your touch, your kiss…
Everything.
No matter the rocky road we rushed through, the hardships we struggled, we remained strong and nothing could break us.
Our 'hate' for each other could not keep us apart.
Our love shined through and brought a glow to your eyes.
I will fall and your hand will grasp mine, pulling me into your loving embrace.
I want to stay with you forever.
I want to see your beautiful face every morning and every night.
I want to feel your hold whenever I ache.
I want to be with you always, no matter what the cost.
One Kiss.
One Love.
One Flesh.
I will die in your arms…
…

Her cerulean eyes were empty, dead almost, as she walked through the crowded gates of the airport, carelessly bumping into the multiple travelers around her. Her walk was haunting, a walk where one has lost everything.
And she had, she did lose everything.
The expression on her face was…was so impassive…
So lost…
Why must everyone stop us?
Her fists were clenched tight around her luggage as she shut her eyes tight, preventing the bitter salty tears to flow.
She will not allow that.
She will not.
For if she did, the painful sweetness of letting tears shed would only remind her of this agonizing reality.
Why must they take you away from me?
Grasping the plane ticket in her hand, she took in her surroundings. The sun was setting, marking the end of all this chaos that she had endured…
That they had endured.
Was it all pointless now? Was fighting for him, fighting the world for him, so…futile?
Why must I scream in sheer agony in the bitter rain?
All Passengers Boarding Flight number 17034 must approach Deck 16 immediately!
Your touch is now cold, your eyes are blind…your kiss sour.
Her weak breath gasped slightly as she rediscovered the situation she was in.
She next in line to board the plane.
The girl could not believe she was doing this…after all she had fought for…
After all the love…all the devotion…
After…After…
Memories once again swept through her now shaking body, her lips quivering with unease.
Him…
Your love forbidden.
She steadied herself, taking a deep breath as she tried to think of the reasons why this was best.
She could only think of one.
One Painful Truth.
And it was destroying her.
She was not best for him…
She would ruin everything…for him…
Please don't cry, it's my entire fault…
How could she so easily deceive herself into believing in happy endings? That a dream could last forever?
Eventually, you wake up.
My foolish selfishness…
You wake up, and then you can't remember that one precious dream.
You become lost as the memories vanish…
"Miss, you ticket please?" The blunette broke from her forlorn trance long enough to hear the flight boarder's words but she held on tight to the ticket.
My beloved…
If she let go of that small fragile piece of paper, then she'll let everything disappear.
Everything she ever had with him…
Gone…
I'm so sorry for the agony I brought you…
Last Call for Flight 17034! All Passengers Must Board Now!
As I lie here alone tonight, my untouched lips pleading for yours.
"Miss, are you boarding? I need your ticket." The woman was asked one more time, the voice more aggravated. The girl felt her fingers loosen around the small flimsy paper, her soul, her core, screaming for her to hold on.
The piece of paper was all she had left of him…
Please don't let go…
My cerulean eyes cry from the emptiness of tortured heartache.
Painful memories of the love they once shared filled the girl's heart as she bit her lip, silent tears cascading down her already tear-streaked cheeks.
Their beautiful love was rough, heartbreaking, vicious…
And carelessly thrown away.
So please, to just give me a second of tenderness, even just for a second…
Her arm went to hand the ticket to the lady, her eyes shaking at the sight as tears brimmed, she begged to God, to any god that might be there, to stop her.
To keep her from destroying her very being.
She needed him! Please, don't let him go!
Let's go back to a time when everything was simple.
"DAWN! WAIT! STOP THIS!!" A familiar, but least expected, voice screamed from the crowds behind the blunette. The figure dashed in a mad rush, shoving and pushing innocent bystanders just to reach the girl in time.
That person was desperate to stop her. They could not allow her to make the most painful, worst decision of her life. All the panic and hysteria plastered upon their frantic face made this motive clear.
They did not want her to leave.
Where it all began.
The girl turned, as well as the hundreds of travelers in line behind her, to the source of the voice. Her cerulean eyes widened as her heart was resurrected from its dead sleep, her expression shocked at the sight of her hero, and a small tinge of rage pulsing through her veins
The last person she expected…
The person who caused her so much heartache, the very person who picked at the fragments of her shattered heart and stabbed her, over and over again.
How dare that person now mock her!
How dare they now plunge her further into this deep abyss of sorrow!
When nothing mattered but your love and mine.
"Miss, I need your ticket now or you're not boarding this plane!"
When it was all…just…so…
"DAWN, DON'T DO THIS!! I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS!!"
Time stood still as the girl's ticket fluttered effortlessly to the floor.
Perfect…
Eh, sorry guys if you were expecting more. But sorry, no 40-pager for you right now lol! (sweat-drops) Maybe in the future, eh? Okay, I am quite proud of this, I got kinda emotional writing it. And Dawn's narrative....(sniffles)
