Prompt:Lunar Surprise



I can't believe my eyes, looking at her changed appearance, the glittering tears blowing from her in the soft breeze.

"I... I came back... back for you...." She said, looking back up at me. Her face shows her feeling of betrayal.

"I... you... you're alive!" I cry, running towards her and throwing myself at her. She wraps her arms around me, still crying.

"I am... I came back. I came back to tell you how much I cared, but you were going to leave me? Forever?" I grab her head and start stroking her hair.

"I thought you were gone, that I'd never see you again. I thought... I thought." She looks down at me, sad smile spreading across her face.

"You thought I'd let a little thing like death keep us apart?" I can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of her statement.

"I didn't think you'd have a choice." I look at her arms, the once vibrant purple scales now almost white, where they hadn't been shed to reveal bone. I stepped out of the embrace, grabbing her hands and taking the large proposal box.

"Are you going to throw it away again?" She asked, looking at the box. I shook my head.

"No, I'm going to do what I planned on doing before you died." I grab one hand and take out the ring. "Sonia, would you be my partner, forever?" She smiled, letting me slip the ring onto her finger and closing the latch.

"Of course I would. Nothing else would make coming back worth it." I bring my lips to hers and meet her in a deep kiss. We share several long moments of quiet passion on the bridge, under the full moon, before breaking apart.

"Aaron, I... I can feel something burning inside of me. I don't think I can keep it down much longer." I can tell what it is that's burning her up by the slow glazing of her eyes. I take her ringed hand and quickly pull the both of us off the bridge and away from town, out into the woods where we don't have to worry about others. Once she can't stand it anymore Sonia picks me up and throws me to the ground, mounting me afterwards.

She rode me until there was nothing left in my body to give her, and then she wrapped me in her arms and held me close.

"My greatest treasure." She murmered, holding a hand over my heart. I smiled, holding her hand.

"And together we'll create my most beautiful thing." I say, hoping for the children we'll one day have.

<p style="font-weight:400;">We wake still in the woods, her pallid body encompassing mine. I reach up to cup her cheek, causing her to stir. Her eyes opened, and she smiled at me, pulling me in tighter.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Morning, my love." She said quietly.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Morning. Perhaps we should go into town? I need to go home sooner or later." Her face turned nervous, and she looked away.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Is that a good idea?" She asked, clearly nervous of her undead state.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Well, if they don't like it, I'm sure we could find an undead kingdom to stay in." She looks back at me wide eyed.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"You'd do that? For me?" I nod, smiling.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Of course. We're partners now, right? Forever?" Her eyes teared up, and she pulled me in with such strength that I feared having my ribs crushed. When she let go the two of us walked back across the bridge and into town. There were many strange looks, but no one ran away screaming at the sight of us.

<p style="font-weight:400;">In fact two people walked up to us, the woman embracing me and the man patting me on the shoulder.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Well, look whose the lucky groom!" My friend said, looking over at Sonia.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Oh, I'm so happy for the two of you!" His wife said, before turning to Sonia, "You should have seen the state he was in after you died. He was barely a shell of himself."

<p style="font-weight:400;">"So... I don't suppose this means you'll be back to working again? Cause I wanted to get something done for Annie for our anniversary." I nod, letting him know I'll get the details from him later. "Cool, you two have fun, and try not to break a wall or, you know, the whole house." They left us with smiles, and Sonia relaxed, breathing out a sigh.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"I guess it's like I never died, huh?" She asked with a small smile.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Yeah, it is."
