anything and lemme know where it's going :)
AN: I've done the 'Scully dies and Mulder
mourns' fics before so I decided it was time
to do the 'Mulder dies and Scully mourns' fic.
Well aren't I just dark and gloomy.
This is a sombre fic cuz I felt like
depressing everyone around me.
I might write more to this but I have other
fics I'm meant to be working on right now.
This was just me taking a break from those
fics....
It starts in first person, then switches, then
goes back to first person....just to be confusing
*G*
Dedicated to: All the friends lost along
the way.

he took you to the light.
Placed you in the sky above,

STARLIGHT
By TeaL
I wish I could lean over and breath life back
into him. Bring him back with a simple kiss.
I wish I wasn't standing here unable to do
anything but relive the moment he was torn
away from me.
Perhaps this is a dream, a terrible tormenting
nightmare which I will awaken from and everything
will be alright.
The thought of my life without
him in it felt wrong. I couldn't imagine going
on without him. I didn't want to.
I don't want to.
How do I go on when all I went on for is gone?
How do I live again when my life dissipated
into nothingness before my very eyes.
===========================================
EARLIER
"Scully I'm going after him," Mulder said quickly
into his cellphone.
"Mulder, no!", Scully almost yelled as she drove
towards the warehouse that Mulder had chased their
suspect to, "Wait for me Mulder, you know better
than to go in there without backup."
Silence.
"Mulder?"
The line went dead.
"Damnit!" she swore and threw her phone onto the
empty seat beside her.
Mulder moved cautiously through the darkness,
making as little noise as possible as he walked.
He knew he'd have a Scully lecture to listen to when
she arrived and he knew he deserved it but if this
man knew where his sister was he had to find him.
He had to find her.
Scully sped into the lot which had once been the busy
carpark of a promising business and stopped the car
mere inches from the abandoned building.
Exiting the car she was about to shut the door when
she heard a single gunfire.
'please let that have come from Mulder's gun...' she
prayed silently.
Quietly, Mulder came up behind a figure whose attention was
elsewhere.
Placing the barrel of the gun to the back of the man's head
Mulder whispered coarsely, "Tell me where she is and I'll
let you live"
"I...I don't know who you're talking about", a young voice
answered.
Spinning the figure around, Mulder was shocked to see a
16 year old boy staring back at him with frightened eyes.
"What the..?" Mulder suddenly realised his mistake when
he felt an object suddenly jammed into his back.
"Not very professional Agent Mulder", an older voice
snarled, "Drop your gun *now*!"
Mulder let go of the boy and let him weapon fall
to the ground.
"Where's my sister?"
"I'm afraid I may have mislead you there," The voice told
him, "I really wouldn't know, I just wanted to get you
here and word has it your sister is one of you week
spots."
"You bastard" Mulder spat.
"So many people have tried to remove you from the larger
plan, I never would have thought it could be so easy."
The man suddenly pushed him forward a little, spun him
around and threw him to the ground.
Eye to eye the two stared at each other, Mulder being
allowed the honor of seeing the face of his killer.
"Goodbye Agent Mulder"
The man fired once, point blank range, straight at
the fallen Agents chest.
Satisfied the wound would prove fatal the man exited
the building from the other side and disappeared.
Scully reached for her cellphone before shutting the
car door and ran into the building.
Where she almost tripped over Mulder's still form.
"Mulder...Oh my god...Mulder" Scully murmured as
she knelt beside him. Punching 3 numbers into her
phone she was frantically speaking to an operator
in life-stealing seconds.
Two hand applying pressure to his gaping wound, her
shoulder and chin balancing the phone, she attempted to
save his life oblivious to the fact the killer could
still be nearby. Saving her partners life came first
even if it meant risking her own to do so.
Mulder felt hands on his chest and opened his eyes
slightly.
Scully.
Words floated in breaking the silence.
"...Agent down..."
"...wound to the chest..."
"....please hurry..."
Throwing the phone aside, Scully focused all her
attention on her partner.
"It's okay Mulder, just lie still okay", she said
soothingly.
Mulder attempted to speak but the words came out as
nothing more than a gurgle.
"Ssssshhh Mulder, don't try to talk"
"Sorry" he managed to gasp out.
"No Mulder, don't apologize, you don't need to." She told
him then added, "Just don't ever go it alone again okay!"
Mulder moved his head a little and Scully understood
it to be a nod.
"Mulder!" Scully said harshly when Mulder closed his eyes,
"Stay with me, don't you dare close your eyes!"
Mulder did as asked and tried to focus on her.
"Look at me, Mulder, the paramedics are almost here."
Holding her gaze Mulder managed to murmur two final
words before slipping away from her forever.
"love...you..."
Scully choked back sobs as the paramedics chose that
moment to burst into the warehouse. As three began to
work on the fallen agent, a fourth gently pulled
Scully to the side.
"I'm a medical doctor, I can help" she tried to
protest.
"Please let them do their job, you've already helped
much more than most people do, you may have saved his
life."
Scully wasn't stupid, she knew this type of wound was
almost always fatal and the words 'you may have'
shook her into the reality of the fact she was about
to lose her partner and her best friend.
After what seemed seconds to the distraught Scully
one of the paramedics announced, "Time of death...."
Scully blocked out the rest as she pushed her way
through the men and collapsed beside her partner,
tears flowing down her face.
A hand briefly touched her shoulder, "I'm sorry,
we did all we could." a voice told her.
Shaking the hand off, Scully ran her fingers gently
down her partners face.
"I need a few minutes alone", she said shakily.
She sighed a little as the footsteps retreated.
"Mulder, why couldn't you gave waited." she whispered
between sobs, "What am I going to do now, I can't
do this without you."
Leaning down she gently brushed his lips with her own
and whispered into his ear as if he could hear her,
"I love you too."
================================================
I stood and stepped back as his body was gently
placed on a gurney. I wish I could lean over and
breath life back into him. Bring him back with a
simple kiss.
I wish I wasn't standing here unable to do
anything but relive the moment he was torn
away from me.
Perhaps this is a dream, a terrible tormenting
nightmare which I will awaken from and everything
will be alright.
The thought of my life without him in it feels
wrong.
I can't imagine going on without him.
I don't want to.
How do I go on when all I went on for is gone?
How do I live again when my life dissipated
into nothingness before my very eyes.
Staring up at the night sky briefly before
entering my car, I noticed a bright star out
shining the rest. Funny how I'd never noticed
it before.
Whenever people close to me had died in the past
I'd always chosen a star to give them.
It was their star and something I could look up
at when I felt alone in the world.
Maybe this star chose me, maybe Mulder had already
chosen it as his.
I found myself smiling at the star and felt the tears
begin to flow again.
"Goodbye Mulder" I whispered up at the star.
THE END
Tada! tehehehe , depressed yet?? *G*
In case you're wondering, whenever I write a fic
like this I have to have a good laugh afterwards
or else I burst into tears :)
