Celeste Volette knew it. It was over. Darcy's men had come and taken her silently in the night. She knew Darcy had ordered that she was disposed of. She had kissed Aston goodnight and told him she loved him and always would. They had retired to their respective rooms a good deal of time before the sun rise and Darcy's men came silently. Celeste put on a cloke over her dress, her hair falling around her in waves, and they took her away without a sound.
  
Celeste was kept for the day in a secret room in Darcy's manor. She was told to sleep but she did not. She just cried the whole day. Cried out of Love. She was to lose Aston forever. She held onto the locket she wore around her neck with his picture in it and sobbed. She had just found him again and she had to lose him. She, even though she was in Darcy's manor, wore the engagement ring Aston had given her. They were to be married when all this was over. Well, it would be over but Celeste would be dead. All the wonderful times with Aston seemed like an all too distant memory for Celeste. Perhaps she was not meant to be happy...Perhaps she was not meant to have Aston...
 
The time had come, the guard outside her door told her so. Celeste put on her cloak over her dress and pulled her wavy hair back into a bun. The men who had taken her the night before came and took her again but this time outside. Celeste was brought out to a black car with very tinted windows. The door was opened for her and she got in. She discovered that the windows were so dark not even a vampire could see through them and there was a divider between the front seat and the back seat, where she sat. She had no idea where she was going. She sat up perfectly straight against the seat, her hands folded on her lap. Her eyes were filled with tears as they looked down at the engagement that had not left her finger since Aston had put it there only a few days earlier. Slowly, the tears spilled down her cheeks. She did not sob this time, she just cried. "Aston..." she whispered quietly, "Forgive me for all the trouble I've probably caused. Know that I will always love you...."

Aston awoke with a start from his restless sleep,his chest crawling with sweat as he whisped,"Celeste--"It was the dark of night and he had dreamt that Darcy's men had taken her from him. Aston then ripped back his sheets and wearing nothing but a shirt and black satin sweat pants,he got out of his bed and walked around his mansion until he reached Celeste's room to find her gone. Aston then shook his head and cried,"No,no...No!! Dartaghan!!!"Aston then rushed to get himself changed--Darcy's men had taken his love from him and he wouldn't lose her! He had found love and he would not let her go again! It wasn't too late.
------------------------------------
An hour later,Aston could be seen leaving Dartaghan manor,tears flowing and running down his cheeks. He had practically rushed to Darcy's manor and burst threw the doors. He had told Darcy everything--about him and Celeste and how he could not bear to loose her. He practically was begging Darcy not to hurt her--not to kill her. Aston could still remember his last words of his confession,"I love her,Darcy--I honestly do. If you have felt any love for anyone,you would know--please,I beg of you--save her. Besides my daughter,she is all I have left--please,please."
--------------------------------------------------
Aston then awaited at his home in his study for any word on Celeste. He watched from the window which showed the front of his manor,tears rolled down his eyes--he loved Celeste so much--he couldn't bear to lose her. They were so close to true happiness. He asked her to marry him--to be his vampiress and his wife for all eternity. Now,he thought that could never be--it would all be lost. The rain poured upon the ground now. Aston's breath then caught as he saw a black car pull outside of his manor. He then dashed out of his study and to the door,which he quickly opened it. He hoped that somewhere in that car was his love--he couldn't bear to lose her. Not again. He then whispered,"Please,God,if you have any mercy upon me,please--let Celeste live. I can't bear to live without her."

Celeste rode in the car for quite some time without having any idea where she was being taken. She took her hair down from the bun, letting her dark waves fall around her. Her heart was breaking. She had lost Aston, her love. She was ready to give everything up, being a courtesan and everything else, just to be his.
Celeste felt like her world was crashing down around her. She had no idea that Aston had spoke to Darcy and Darcy was accually letting her live. She thought she was still going to die. She didn't like the idea but she knew if she did have to die, she would wait for Aston forever. She was prepairing herself to die, all hope lost.
Dear God, Celeste prayed as she was being driven, Please let Aston be all right. I know it is probilly now my time to join you but....if there is anyway I can be spaired of this fate and return me safely to Aston, I shall ask for nothing more in my life. All I want, dear Lord, is to be with Aston. You brought us together hundreds of years ago and you let us be ceperated. And, with your grace, we have found each other again. Please, Lord, do not let us be parted again. A tear fell down and splattered on the center diamond of her engagement ring.
The car stopped. Celeste took a deep breath. Now she was to learn her fate. The rain had stopped and she lowered the hood of her cloke, fixing her hair, making sure it was out from under the cloke. One of Darcy's men came to her door and opened it. He stood right in the doorway, so Celeste could not see where she was. He told Celeste that this was her stop. Celeste gave the man a look and then lowered her eyes as she stepped out of the car. She closed her eyes for a moment, not moving. She then took a step forward and reconized the crunch of gravel under her feet. Prehaps they have already killed me, She thought, For it feels like the gravel at Aston's house under my feet. She opened her eyes and lifted her head. She saw Aston's manor before her. Her tear filled eyes widened in surprise. She then saw Aston, standing in the doorway. "Aston?" she said, her voice thick from crying and it cracked in the middle of her name. She slowly started walking towards him, her palms turned up as to show she was all right. Tears flowed down her cheeks still.

Aston's breath caught and his tears flowed down his eyes as he saw the familar cloak of Celeste--she was safe! Aston too started walking towards her,no actually he practically ran towards her--she was so far off from his doorway and so now he practially ran towards her,the rain now pouring down upon both him and Celeste. Aston then ran as he cried out in the rain,"Celeste!"Darcy spared her life--he was eternally greatful to him--Aston's heart swelled now--his first and his ONLY true love was here. Right in front of him. She lived--it wasn't over. It would never be for a long time--his love lived and now Aston would get the happiness he had longed for.

"Celeste!" It was only in the moment that Aston cried out her name that Celeste Volette knew she was not dead. She was alive and Aston was running towards her. She picked up her skirts in one hand and ran towards him. The rain had picked up again so she ran through the pouring rain, not caring that her hair was becoming soaked and she was being soaked to the skin. More tears, but now of joy, spilled down her wet face. "Aston!" she cried out as she ran to him.
Celeste finally reached Aston. It felt like a dream, that she was reunited with Aston instead of being "disposed of". Her one hand went on his shoulder and the first thing she did was kiss him. She had missed the feeling of his lips against hers and the sparks it sent through her body. She didn't care that they were out in the pouring rain. All that mattered to Celeste was that she was in Aston's arms again, safe. "Oh Aston..." she said, when she pulled away from the kiss for a moment, "Forgive me..." She kissed him again and wrapped her arms around him as they kissed.

"Celeste!"Aston cried as the rain poured upon them and the space between them soon ended when Celeste was so near him now. She placed her hand on his shoulder and her eyes looked into his,those eyes he would always love and see them within his mind. "My love.."He managed to whisper before she kissed him and he kissed her back,his hands upon the side of her face. They were reunited yet again and the reunion was ever so sweet for him--he loved her with all of his heart. When she pulled away,she whispered for him to forgive her,he whispered back,"You are forgiven,my love..."They then kissed again but this time,Aston increased the kiss as he lifted her up in the air and twirled her around,kissing her passionately as he did so. Moments later,he released the kiss and held her close to him,close to his heart. His fingers entangled within her hair as he whispered,looking up to the skies,"Thank you,Darcy--Thank you..."Darcy saved her life--perhaps it was a sign that a vampire like him knew what love was.

"Celeste!" It was only when Aston called out her name did Celeste know she was truly alive. "Aston!" she called out, as she ran. "My love.." She heard him whisper before she kissed him. How she missed his lips against hers in the time they had been apart. "You are forgiven,my love..." She smiled lightly as Aston said the words she hoped he would say. She kissed him back, increasing the passion in her half of the kiss. Celeste smiled in their kiss as Aston lifted her off the ground and spun her around as they kissed. She loved him so much. "Oh Aston," she said, their kiss finally released, "I missed you so much." She smiled softly as she looked into his eyes. "It's not over." she whispered as the car that took her from Aston and brought her back drove away, "We can finally be together."

"I missed you too..."Aston whispered,holding Celeste close to him,his voice choking up as tears went down his face."I thought I would never see you again...I was so afraid."Aston's voice was shaking,he was happy to have Celeste in his arms again. It wasn't over indeed,they would be together forever. Aston couldn't resist,he then asked her,"Marry me?"

"I missed you too..." Tears fell down Celeste's face, tears of joy, mixed with the rain. "I thought I would never see you again...I was so afraid." "I felt the same way, Aston," she told him, "That was the only thing I was afraid of, never seeing you again." "Marry me?" She smiled softly. "If I recall correctly you asked me the same question only a few nights ago and gave me a ring." She put her hand in Aston's, holding it up so he could see the ring. "It has not left my finger since you put it there and there it shall remain. It has not left my hand and my answer has not changed. Yes, Aston, I will marry you."

Aston smiled within a grin as he kissed Celeste,replying to her,"How soon can we marry? Since we do not have to worry about Darcy or hiding our relationship anymore."Aston then kissed Celeste again as he bent down to pick her up and carry inside his manor. He then released the kiss to whisper,"You need your rest...no doubt,you were praying as much as I that we would not part..."

Celeste grinned in the kiss she shared with Aston. She never wanted to leave him again. She had missed him terribly in their night apart and she knew she could never leave him again. "How soon can we marry? Since we do not have to worry about Darcy or hiding our relationship anymore." She smiled. "As soon as we can arrange it." she told him, "I am yours, Aston." She kissed him back as he lifted her up and carried her into their home. She was still in his arms when he spoke again. "You need your rest...no doubt,you were praying as much as I that we would not part..." She nodded. "I was praying, for the first time in centuries." she smiled softly, "But I cannot rest now. I dare not shut my eyes in fear of awaking without you."

Aston smiled as he walked inside their manor with Celeste in his arms as he said to her,"Don't worry about that,my love. We will not be separated ever again--let us get some rest tonight and we will plan our wedding tomorrow."Aston then kissed her as he replied,"And your fears of waking up without me,I will settle those fears,you can rest with me tonight. Would that calm you?"

"Don't worry about that,my love. We will not be separated ever again--" Celeste smiled, "And that makes me the happiest girl in the world." she said. "let us get some rest tonight and we will plan our wedding tomorrow." She nodded. She was a bit tired after not resting the whole day. "And your fears of waking up without me,I will settle those fears,you can rest with me tonight. Would that calm you?" She nodded. "It would, Aston." she told him. She then smiled and looked into his eyes. "Aston," she said, "I'm going to give it up. Being a courtesan. I'm going to give everything I know up because I love you and you are all I need."
