Shego woke to the sound of thunder, ‘How appropriate’ she thought sarcastically. Shego moved her right arm then her hand, Kim’s wrist was not in its secure grip anymore. “So the blue boy did something right for once” She muttered.
Shego wriggled free of Kim’s grip slowly, savouring her warmth and not wanting to wake her. Shego got out of the bed and stood at its foot, her eyes wandering over Kim’s sleeping form. Shego picked up the Pandaroo she had thrown on the floor shortly after going to bed and placed it in Kim’s arms, “Keep this space warm for me, ok mate?” whispered Shego trying to make light of the situation.
Shego walked over to the desk and searched for some paper and a pen. Once she found them she placed them on top of the desk and just stared at the silent. She then lifted the pen on took the lid off it and sighed, ‘this is it’ she thought, ‘I have to write something that would make Kim understand and not come searching for me.’ As she wrote the note she felt her eyes tear up, she had not cried for three years but now two tears fell just below her signature marking the paper forever. Shego left note on the desk for Kim to see when she woke. Shego walked over to the windows and looked over at Kim, “Love you Princess” she whispered her tone sincere. Shego turned, opened the window and was gone.
Morning
Kim woke up shivering, ‘why is it so cold?’ she thought, she hugged the one in her arms closer, ‘Hey this isn’t…’
“Shego?” Kim called sitting up and opening her eyes. Kim noticed that the window was open as the curtains were billowing in the bitter wind. “No.” she whispered realising Shego had gone. Kim leapt out of bed and slammed the window shut. She turned from the window and noticed the note on the desk. Kim walked toward it slowly, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. She gingerly picked up the note unfolded it and read:
Princess,
You are a very deep sleeper and I’m glad because it means I can be what I am best at, being a coward and leaving without giving a proper goodbye, if only I was as strong as you. I am not saying I’m weak but I have a feeling that if you were me you would at least have said goodbye.
I am not leaving forever but I don’t know how long this will take. But know this, as soon as this is done I will be racing back to do what it takes to be by your side.
Don’t try and follow me, you might be able to save the world but only I can do this, to enable me to forgive everything. Even though we’ve only been together for a day I can tell you this truthfully, I Love You and you will be the only thing I miss while I try and find that part of me I need to forgive.
Please don’t worry, I promise not to do anything illegal. I am so so sorry I have to leave,
Love you, Sheila Go Partington.
Kim could see the tear marks on the page beneath the nameand that was the thing that pushed the tears over the rims of her eyes.
END
AN: I know horrible ending for the girls but I promise you in the sequel this will be rectified! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and especially to the beta reader of this story, mouserr2255! The title of the sequel will probably be ‘Returning To You’ so watch this space!
