Body   Alternative ending to Victoria's Secret  

 Something to Regret.  by Lyn C  

Rated PG  

Alliance owns them. I'm just borrowing them for no monetary gain.  

"Come with me, you'll regret it if you don't."	

Would I have regretted it? I don't think I would, not considering what
happened next. I saw her beautiful face, heard her beautiful voice. The
most beautiful voice I ever heard and I could not resist it.  

She was holding out her hand to me. My vision of the world narrowed to
that beautiful hand. Even though I tried I could not fight the desire. I
loved her, and I knew that she loved me.  

I increased my pace and glimpsed Ray as I moved my head. I had to get to
her before Ray did because I did not doubt for one second that he would
use any means to stop her. I couldn't let him do that any more than I
could let her go without me.  

So I ran faster until I could touch her. Stepping up to meet her, feeling
her arms around me, safe. She laughed in triumph and I turned to follow
her gaze. Ray was raising his weapon,  

"She's got a gun!" And he fired. I heard the sound of gunshot.	

Her grip on me began to relax, I held on but the weight of her body was
pushing me off balance and we both tumbled from the moving train. I held
her. I held onto her like I had done in the snow eight years before.  

I held her tightly trying to make eye contact with her,  

"Look at me, Victoria!"  

My voice was urgent. Could she hear the fear in it ? She pulled me in
closer against her pressing her lips against mine. They were like ice and
I shivered. I breathed my warm breath into her. Breathed in my love, my
heart, my soul.  

"Stay with me," I whispered, "stay,"  

I kissed her lips for the last time. She shuddered, just like she did at
Fortitude Pass.  

Then she closed her eyes against the snow.  

And I closed mine.  

She was gone.
