Shadow Searcher (completed)

Almost done

In the beginning...

There was nothing...

So empty...

In the space between.

And you came in... Turned the lights on...

And created what's come to be.

Before I pluck your wings,

Cover me please, Spread your wings... cover me and...

Promise this...

If I die before I wake up

Promise this...

Take the time to say your grace.

On your knees you pray for me.

Promise this...

Be the last to kiss my lips.

Though I'm walking...

Through the shadows...

You are with me...

And you comfort me.

Lay me down now...

Time for sleeping...

-Adele, Promise this

Jasmine's pov.

The sounds of fighting erupts all around me as I start to make my way over to father. Suddenly something rubs against my back and it turn around just in time to be restrained by two big arms. Growling in frustration of being delayed, I allow my wolf to come to the surface and use the new found claws to scratch my attacker, resulting in them releasing me with a cry of pain. Serves them right.Calming my wolf, I continue on only to be stopped by another stupid mutt. "Move," I hiss, looking at the girl. She just smirks and says,"Make me." I shrug and mutter,"Okay, you asked for it." Grabbing the girl by the arm, I pick her up and throw her to the side, paying no attention to the whimper of pain she let's out. I gave her a chance, she brought it upon herself.

When no one else makes a move to stop me, I walk up to my dad, the monster. "Hello father," I say, barely containing my need to kill him. "Hello Jasmine," he answers in the same cold tone.

Darren's pov.

After another bloody end of a traitor wolf's life, I try to look around for Jasmine. Through the masses of fighting, I finally see her. "NO!!" I yell as I see her dad grip the knife sticking out of his heart only to plunge it into Jasmine's. Her dad falls to the ground in a bloody heap as the same time Jasmine does.

Jasmine's pov.

I suck in another painful breath as Darren wraps both his arms around me. "It hurts," I whimper. "I know, but your gonna be okay," Darren answers while stroking my hair. "No I'm not, I'm dying. But that's okay, I completed my destiny as the golden wolf, so I can die happy." Darren just shakes his head and smiles sadly. I think he's tryings to convince himself more than me...

Darren's pov.

"Darren, I love you. And because of that, I need you to promise me something," Jasmine says shakily. "Anything." "Move on with your life, don't dwell on my death. Just because my life is going to end, yours doesn't have to." I let a single tear fall as I answer,"I promise." Jasmine smiles and in between labored breathes says," Good. If you ever need me, search the shadows, for I'll always be in the shadows of your heart and mind." "Always," I agree. Looking down, I see a single tear trickle down her pale face as her grip on my hand loosens. "I love you," she whispers shakily. "I love you too. And I always will no matter what."

Jasmine's eyes flutter closed and I take a shaky breath, "Hold on, please. Just a while longer." Her grip loosens a bit more, contrary to what I just pleaded. "You cant leave me yet Jaz, please. please," I whimper as salty tears follow the silent path down my face. Seeing her lips part in a silent goodbye I start to yell frantically, "Someone get help! A doctor, someone! Please, help me!" Quickly a pack member ran over, and tried to reach for her. I whimpered, then cursed myself for bing so weak as they checked for a pulse. The man moved his fingers around before finally whispering,"I'm sorry alpha, shes gone." "You're lying!" I yell. "She can't leave me! She cant!" Cradling her delicate head in my arms as the man just shakes his head and backs away, I lean down and lightly brush my lips against her cold ones. That's when I knew she was really gone, forever.
