January challenge - The Final Kiss...

This is one possible ending for my Daeva... ::grins:: I don't want certain people getting funny ideas, though. I'd like to play her for a bit longer, thanks!

The young Daeva stared sightlessly out at the court in front of her. Her mind had gone blank and her lips formed one word, a soundless 'No'...

Everything that she had worked for, all the hours of taunting and sacrifice - had it all been for nothing?

Fiona wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her gown, not caring who saw her or what they thought. The time for dancing to the tune of another had ended. She swallowed back a fresh set of tears that threatened to come to her eyes and rose to her feet. If this was it, then she would show them all.

She paused by her sire's side, looking up into his eyes for one final time. Her hand cupped his cheek as she stood on her tiptoes to press a gentle kiss onto his lips.

She was still gazing into his eyes when her sire slammed the stake into her heart.
