Lily POV

Okay so eternity in heaven isn't quite right, Adrian moved in with me which is good but now we find that there is a band of night worlders have formed together and are planning to over throw us, so here we are standing in a clearing facing them, me being here to much of Adrian's protests, then of course asked him who is the girl that has whooped but for years and he gave in.

The leader of the group, a Oak Danvers, vampire, lamia, looked at me in interest before seeing Adrian wrap his arm around me, he was babbling; "I'm pretty sure Thierry you know why we are here, this is our world and we rule it, those vermin do not deserve to live."

"What makes that so Mr. Danvers, they have earned every right to live in peace and have done for years."

"No, you did that for them and we're going to take it back, so without further a due, ATTACK!"

Adrian and I ran forwards in attack mode faster than the others, watching each others back as I took down a werewolf with my bare hands, I punched a vampire that was circling in on Adrian before staking it.

Poppy had three circling in on her while James grappled with two, I ran to her aid, flipped over Oak who seemed to be fascinated, landing on one of them and kicking the other round house in the jaw, poppy staked the other vamp while I broke the one I was standing on's neck, the other one with the broken jaw lunged for me, but Adrian dived in and ripped his throat out, over protective fool.

I looked around the clearing, not so clear now, it was completely smeared in blood and corpses of the dead, thankfully no soulmates have perished yet, that's the thing about soulmates is they can't be killed easily, the bond is too great. My eyes zeroed in on Thierry biting a bear, ha, go Thierry.

I felt something hard and wooden hit me on the back of my head, I fell to the ground and rolled over facing Oak pinning me there, I hissed and noticed Adrian punching the chit out of a vampire, he noticed me there, before I hooked my legs up and pulled Oak off of me, he went flying into two other people, one of whom was Ash who then got the upper hand and staked his foe.

Oak got up and ran for me, Adrian got to him first and staked him dead in the heart, suddenly a stick protruded from his chest and behind him stood a vampires smiling sickly sweet, I ran over and shoved her off of him before clutching him in y arms, my heart beating erratically breaking my chest.

His face started decaying, "Adrian hold on," he smiled sadly at me, his week hand trying to reach for my tear that was falling down my cheek, I felt bile rise in my throat when his skin started yellowing, "Adrian."

"I… I love…" he stopped still, completely frozen, his dead eyes gazing like a void into mine, seeing through my head and heart.

My heart jolted and all of time froze around me tears like a tsunami storming down my face, it's not possible, my heart stopped dead there, and stayed with him and will forever, my life is gone, hammers echoed in my skull reminding me I have a battle to fight, but I don't care.

I never got to say goodbye or kiss him one last time, never see his crooked smile he only gives me or the shine in his ever changing eyes when I walk into the room or play a prank on someone.

Hear his ramblings about the places we would go and things we would do… Annoying French people right at the top of the list. Or have him dance with me in the rain with no music playing or just to wake up next to his overwhelmed face in the morning.

The words he told me last month playing in my head; forever with you is too short, and you know it because forever can be cut short, is what he said and now I know what he means, I think he knew one of us wouldn't survive this, but how.

I lay his limp form down on the ground, drowning in his own blood, I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes, tears streaming down my face until I was interrupted.

A cold swirled over me and death reeked in the air, I opened my eyes to the bitch, she loomed over me with a stake, but no one else noticed, I am so not letting this cow kill me after she took my life, I let out the loudest battle cry and lunged at her, grabbing the stake and plunging it in her stomach, she looked up shocked, I pulled it away and id it again many times before finally sticking the thing where it belonged, her cold black heart that will never be able to shatter like mine has.

Everything was silent, I looked up and everyone had stopped fighting, a soulmate had been killed, that is unthinkable no matter what happens it is wrong.

I rolled off of It's body and next to Adrian, curling up at his side sobbing hysterically.

I don't know how long I lay there and the fight raged on in my stupor but soon arms hooked under my neck and legs lifting me from the ground, I thrashed against them, fighting to get back to him, my love, he can't be dead.

Shuffling of feet were heard and Adrian was gone, the silver cored severed forever, the thing that I love most in the world taken from me and there is no getting it back, I felt the arms rock me back and forth, I thought he was invincible, he should have never of helped me and he'd still be here, not gone past my reach for all of eternity. Eternity is meaningless without him next to me.

I felt wind rush through my hair, like Adrian's fingers under the moon lit sky on October 1st and we went out to star watch with the others, no more star watching, another shriek sounded from my lips, it echoed from the hills and someone tried to soothe me, it was Ash who had tears in his eyes as well, I snuggled closer to him and sobbed, letting it all out.

One week later

The funeral, me dressed in a simple black maxi dress, low cut around the chest and decorated around the chest with one jewel, a diamond, the tendrils of it flowing out behind me.

My hair loose and people standing all around the hole in the ground that no longer lay empty, a coffin Adrian White-Ash Redfern R.I.P carved on it being lowered into the earth back where he belongs.

I dropped two roses in, one black, Adrian and one white, Me, he always described us a black and white roses, different and the same.

My heart died a week ago, now it is decaying in my chest as they sprinkle the mud on in respect. Tears threatened to fall again, but not now, I will never cry again, and that is a promise, Cassie and Tina both linked an arm with me and led me away from the grave that one day I will be buried next to forever, which forever will come sooner than anyone will ever know.

I walked from the graveyard and dropped my arms from my friends and ran to a cliff edge where only I know, the wind whipping at my hair, leaves scattering around me that just for a second took on the shape of a man holding his hand out to me, I stepped closer to the edge, the wind picked up and I jumped, savouring the air passing me by because that and the cold water is the last thing I ever felt until everything went black, a flash of white shot in front of me and the scenery cleared up.

Our meadow, Adrian standing there with a white rose in hand looked towards me with a sad smile, "you shouldn't have done it."

"When do I ever do what I was suppose to?"

"Never," I smiled, my heart mending slightly. I ran over to him and just stood there, "you should have lived."

"It was too hard without you."

"Life is hard, death is easier." I nodded, letting the tears fall down my face, this is heaven, this is my eternity in heaven, no going back ever and I wouldn't want to, leaving all regrets behind me, Adrian is all that matters now. I kissed his lips lightly and sat on the ground with him next to me.
