Ashes to Ashes

Hoovering up the Ashes (including drunk Raquel and mysterious notes)

Yo people it's Raquel here with an update (if anybody is actually reading this crap) thestarsarefire

Ezra's POV

"It's a long story as to why I revived your friend Kathryn. I'm not sure that you want to hear it.."

"So you told us that you hoovered up her ashes? They were scattered in the sea 3 months ago, so tell us HOW THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT POSSIBLE?" Rachel yelled at this stranger.

"Let's just say I had a 'whale' of a time."

*like i dunno an hour later of whatever*

It was the happy couples celebration dinner and still Colin and Graham had not returned from their mysterious endeavour..

"Yo, gate crasher?" Eve began, "if you don't mind me asking, who the hell are you?"

"Ezra Fitz. Well, Fitzgerald but I prefer it shortened. My purpose here is merely personal, do not fret young ones."

Rachel's POV

"Young ones," I slurred to myself and turned to Aidan. "He's a strange one. Methinks thy needith to avoidth him..ith.."

"Methinks you need to shutith the hellith up."

So the celebration went down a hoot. We discussed Kathryn's finger issue with a doctor on the phone and they agreed that they would perform surgery to save her right finger. However, since Kathryn was against the whole stem cell crap, we had to make a deal that the pencil, yes the pencil, would be reattached to her hand!

"Kathryn, I don't know if this pencil thing is a good idea," Eugene spoke softly to his loved one, shovelling a spoonful of cake into his mouth.

"I want to be 100% natural, I thought you would understand," she frowned at Eugene's complaint. All she ever wanted was for him to love her for who she was, but after everything, Shadrack was still the one who worshiped her like a queen.

"What if it snaps off? There are no more ashes left from your urn. Jeez Kathryn, you've been revived by a creepy stranger, be a bit more thankful."

"You didn't have to turn me into a fricking pencil!!!!!!"

"It wasn't my choice!" Eugene argued and turned away.

"Well I want the surgery so you will have to deal with it.."

Just at that precise moment, a familiar face approached through the fire escape. Colin! I rushed out of my seat spilling my wine along the way, and wobbled over to him, grasping him tightly.

"Hey, Rach," he smiled generously and placed a kiss on my forehead. "Oi, are you drunk?"

"Nope of course not," I grinned obnoxiously, placing a finger to Colin's lips. "Shhhhhhhhh I might be but don't tell anybody okay?"

Colin's POV

I sat my drunk girlfriend back down into her chair and made my way over to a profoundly stern looking Aidan.

"Where the hell were you!? You were supposed to give a speech!!"

"It's a long story, basically Graham locked me in the bell tower and then let me go when he felt some 'strange vibe' or something after he received a 'Mysterious' phone call from a stranger. I dunno what that weirdo has been sniffing lately.."

"Did you say Graham?" this strange guy spoke. What even happened when I was gone?

"I'm sorry who are you?"

"Ezra Fitz. I better get going, I mean I wasn't even invited and you know you're all in pairs and stuff so I will see you later. Or never again, that's maybe best. Bye guys." And with a simple wave, he was gone..

"Rachel I think maybe you better stop drinking. Come here and give me a hug instead." I requested and sat down beside her, soon to be joined by her drunk body stumbling over me.

"What have you got in here," she slyly spoke and without warning began feeling about in my pockets.

"Get your hand out of there, kiddo," I laughed to myself and removed her hand from the pocket.

"What's this?" Her tone suddenly became drenched in a concerning matter as she handed me a small envelope with 'Colin' messily scrawled across the front in what appeared to be black ink from a quill of some sort.

"I've never seen this before.." I trailed and ripped the envelope open beneath the wine decorated table.

"Next time you won't be so fortunate in that bell tower - M"
