A Princess and A Zombie (A Z-O-M-B-I-E-S and Descendants AU)

Ch. 44

Aurelia sat by the window of her room in Auradon, gazing out at the starry sky. A soft instrumental melody played, her own thoughts turning to lyrics. "I wish I could fly, I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time," she hummed, the words echoing her deepest wish.

She remembered the first night she met Zed, how everything seemed so simple and magical. "I miss you like it was the very first night," she whispered, a longing in her voice for those times of unburdened joy.

"And so it goes, every weekend, the same party. I never go alone and I don't seem broken-hearted." Aurelia thought about the social events she attended, her smile masking the ache in her heart. Her friends in Auradon believed they understood her pain, but they were unaware of the depth of her yearning.

It brought back memories of a day on the football field in Seabrook, a day filled with laughter and carefree happiness. "They don't know about the day in the football field. They weren't walking through Zombie Town when we both fell." Those were moments only she and Zed shared, precious and hidden from the world.

Aurelia closed her eyes as the music enveloped her. "And so it was, we never saw it coming. Not trying to fall in love, but we did like children running." Their love had been unexpected, a beautiful surprise that blossomed amidst the chaos of their two worlds.

She recalled the night they snuck out together, the thrill of the adventure, the freedom they felt. "Danced in the night, chased me down through the alleyway. No one knows about the words that we whispered." Those whispered words were theirs alone, a secret symphony of love and promises.

The instrumental repeated, and Aurelia felt as if the melody was speaking directly to her soul. "I wish I could fly, I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time." She yearned to break free, to return to those moments where nothing else mattered.

"Take me away, take me away. Take me away to you, to you." The lyrics, her thoughts, it was a plea, a desire to escape the confines of her current life and return to Zed's side.

Aurelia remembered the phone calls, their late-night conversations filled with longing and hope. "I'm the one on the phone as you whisper, 'Do you know how much I miss you?'" Those calls were a lifeline, a connection that sustained her in this place far from Seabrook, from him.

As the music came to an end, Aurelia opened her eyes, a determination in her gaze. "I wish that we could go back in time. And I'd say to you, I miss you like it was the very first night." She held onto that wish, that hope, like a beacon in the night.

"I wish I could fly," she murmured, looking up at the stars. "I'd write this in the sky. I miss you like it was the very first night." The song might have ended, but its melody lingered, a gentle reminder of her love for Zed and the promise of a future where they could be together again.
