Annabell P.O.V

His ghostly hand grazes across my lover back. I don’t understand. How is he doing this “How?” I whisper.

“Shh, Just be content with the idea of me being here” He says.

“I want to be with you” I say with tears threatening to spill from my eyelids “I am unhappy here” I say.

“I know” He whispers “Your times not up yet” He says “Your purpose has not been served” I lean my head on him lightly.

“You too? What if I want my time to be up?” I snap.

He smiles the coy smiles I remember “Don’t tempt me Annabell. You know how I can get” He says leaving his transparent mark on my neck.

“My purpose” He explains “Has been served. I had to save you Annabell, From ultimate sadness. You” He points to me touching my chest “helped me accept the fact that death would come and get me” He says “Now its your turn to serve”.

“Help me” I say “What do I do?”.

“Ashley” He smiles.

“No” I say “He is the whole reason that I am still here!”.

“No” He says stroking my hair lightly behind my ear “Fate, Is the reason. Fate told him to risk his life and pull you out of the water. Now, You own him yours”.

“Bu-”.
“You want to be with me Annabell?” He says “Don’t you?”.
“Yes’ I say mesmerised by his blue cold lips.
“Then, Do as I say” He says “Lay down”.

I do as he says and he lays beside me. I kiss his blue lips. Its feels as if I am kissing and touching his cold frozen body. When I touch his chest I don’t even feel his body rise and fall. Though I am content with this. I wish to touch the warm flesh body I know.
I remember pale skin, But I see paler and more blue. He looks almost porcelain and feel as though that is what he is made. His eyes, Even more blue then I remember but even more bright. He has darkness around his eyes, Not like the eyeliner he would often wear. More natural and defined. Over all he looks dead. Dead, Beautiful, Perfection.

“Take a picture, It would last longer” He smirks.
“Would you show up?” I laugh.
“I’m not a vampire” He says.

“Will you be here when I wake up Andy” I say almost hopeful.
“No” He says “I have obligations”.
“Even in the afterlife?” I say.
He nods “Yes”.

“Did you go to heaven?” I ask.
He smirks “Go to sleep Annabell”.

And I don’t hesitate.
