Two Souls Forever Eternally Intertwined
It is cold and damp. The cobwebs of her home have grown older. The colors of a once vibrant home have faded to a grey and dull atmosphere. It has been years since she has had a visitor and the outside world has become none existent. But she does not understand. She is consumed by her reality and her reality is hell.
She does not realize that he has been searching for her. For centuries, he has traveled through dimensions to find her. Searching in the hope that he will be able to keep his word to her. It was an oath he made so many years ago. But it is not just a memory. It has become his destiny.
It was a tender night when he held her in his arms and said those words to her. She snuggled in deeper inside of his arms. They shared a moment that few will never know. It was a moment that sealed their fate. Together for eternity, and if not they would find each other once more. Whatever the cost.
She has forgotten the oath they made to each other. Her reality is the pain she feels. The loneliness. She could not bear to live without him. She is consumed by the pain of losing him. The moment he died is the moment her world turned dark. A dark musty world with the stank of desperation.
It was that very moment when he was reborn he learned his fate. To be welcomed in the heavens a gift he gratefully received. He had never felt such warmth within his soul. But the connection was still there. Their love remained strong. So strong that the very moment she died from a broken heart, he felt it through the heart of his soul.
His journey began without hesitation. Not looking back from the safest of havens, he stepped out into the nothingness. The nothingness between dimensions. The dimensions between Heaven and Hell. A place where time stands still. A land of limbo consumed of wormholes that lead into alternate realities. An eternity of realms caught within space in between spaces. It is a place where no angel should dwell.
She does not know he is searching for her. It is her fate to relive that moment of pain, as if a broken record had never been turned off inside her heart and mind. The moment he slipped out of her arms and went into a reality far different from her own. It is the feelings of desperation, the longing, the eternal need of love that fuels her hell. A hell she was given the moment she gave up her own life. Without him she could not survive.
The moment had come, through hells fire he had searched. Facing all the pain and suffering of world that once was. It was a suffocating pain that at many times was unbearable. It was his oath to her alone that kept him fighting to pull through the misery and the dismal bleak reality of what true hell is. A realm of pain within pain. A dark and bleak place where lost souls relive the deepest of dark realities. He is searching for his one true love. Cast aside for being unable to go on without him. But it was his fate to bear. He would not live without her. Her hell had become his.
He could see her through the shack that once was a home filled with love and hope. As he went up to the door he expected her to come running. Finally after centuries to feel her once again in his arms. But the door stood still. As he slowly pushed it open it began to break as it opened. The smell was musty and the humidity hung in the air. The rooms were filled with darkness except for the pale of her small fragile face.
He gazed upon, completely in awe of her presence. He had found her, but his battle was not over. As he watched her silently he could see the pain was so deeply embedded in the soul of his eternal lover. She sat quietly holding her hand to her chest. Her breathing was shallow and the tears slowly streamed down her pale cheeks.
I'm here, I have finally come he exclaimed with the most tenderness of voices. She clenched her chest tightly and the tears began to fall more swiftly.
Why did you leave me? she whispered, her tears were free flowing and her breathing now heavy.
He came around from behind her to look her in the eyes. He did not understand why she did not embrace him. He knelt in front of her.
I am here my dear, I have finally found you. She sat forward and could not contain herself. Her pain was spilling forth and she was just inches from the one she missed so dearly, so completely. It became evident to him. She was not aware he was there. He had come so far to feel so alone.
She began to shake and gasp for air. WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME? she screamed. She slammed her fist against her knees. YOU LEFT ME AND NEVER CAME, YOU NEVER CAME! She wanted to catch her breath but she could not. The tears slowed, not because her crying had ended. It was the tears; she had no more to give.
He inched closer, scared and more in love with this woman than he had ever been in the centuries before. He leaned up to her ear and whispered, I love you. She sighed with what breathe she had. If only I could leave here and come find you, I would keep the promise that you did not keep. Her eyes swollen she just lay back in her seat and stared off into the musty dark nothingness.
It was a choice he had made and he knew he would follow through. He had fought hell and centuries of searching through a black abyss and it came down to this. He would stay here for eternity beside her. To comfort her and love her. He knew her suffering would forever be his. It had always been that way. His search was fueled through out the years. The ache in his heart was eternally intertwined with hers. If this was her destiny, then his was prepared to make it his as well. He was prepared to join his wife in hell forever more.
It was at this very moment that a centuries of searching, centuries of longing, centuries of a pain driven force that had grasp hold tight of his soul for centuries sped forth. He arched back as he knelt on his knees. And release the most purest scream of agony that shattered the windows and caused the floor to tremble. The tears were hot as the stung his face. It was his turn to feel the pain of pure hell.
The passion of his emotions overwhelmed him and he could no longer control the centuries of suffering he had held in the deepest depths of his soul. Taking in volumes of air, he could not breathe. He quivered and became light headed. He began to feel weak and fell to the floor consumed by the terrors of hell itself.
It was more than he could muster to raise his head, as he awoke from bottom of the darkest of places. It was the warmth on his face that allowed him to rise. Frightened to open his eyes, he raised slowly. Carefully, almost motionless he open his eyes. As he opened them, and they came into focus , he sat there in disbelief.
For the first time, he gazed into his angels eyes. And she gazed back at him. It was the look of love, in it's purest form. They sat there for a moment pondering the feelings that could not be expressed. Slowly he reached up to stroke her soft hair. In that moment they connected, an eternity of suffering had ended. The room was instantly filled with the sun and the once dismal home had been restored. They had finally reached Heaven together
And it was all because of an oath and one man's love.
