Stay my version pt.2

Alone a piano appears in the shadows, black and white keys began slowly pushing down making the piano play a soft and sad tune. It played the same tune for a moment before a female fox with silver and orange fur came out of the darkness sitting at the piano. Her tail curling up into her lap, as she placed her paws upon her lap as well with her head lowered down for a moment eyes closed, before opening with emerald green eyes watery and filled with pain. Ears lowered down to the back of her head as her two pawed fingertips played the piano's keys, wiping her eyes before opening her muzzle as she began to sing softly. "All along it was a fever"

 Stopping for a moment, shaking her head slowly as the memory came over lapping everything in her head. The room lite up with chandlers above giving light to the dancers below. Her dress caressing her body as she was standing around a few other females. "A cold sweat hot-headed believer" Standing still as it seemed only the two were in each others eyes as they talked in the large room. "I threw my hands in the air, said," "Show me something," He chuckled with a devilish smile upon his face outstretching his paw to her, "He said," "If you dare, come a little closer." Taking her paw into his, as he pulled her close and held her firmly, but tenderly in his arms. The music in the air led their movements on the dance floor. "Round and around and around and around we go" Others began dancing around them, as they were grouped with mates and those in love.

 Leaning her head down a bit leaning upon his shoulder for a moment feeling the warmth of her face grow with a pleasant thought. "Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know." They continued dancing upon the dance floor, while the smile upon her face grew. She had closed her eyes for a moment, opening them back up as she seen him standing in the doorway patting his coat before turning around. "Not really sure how to feel about it." She frowned slightly as she stopped the dance and ran over to the doorway noticing he wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Something in the way you move" Lowering her head slightly, before a the males paw touched her shoulder with his devilish smile took her back inside of the building. "Makes me feel like I can't live without you."

 She glanced back outside as the doors closed "It takes me all the way." Her ears low to her head as she was soon surrounded with other females as they began chatting with her. "I want you to stay" Walking into the room, with his paws balled up in fists. The male tiger, with black and blue strips that covered his body. Tears covering his muzzle and down his cheeks, standing at the window as the moons light was shining down upon the world from above. His voice broken and heart felt as he opened up his left paw reaching up placing it upon the window. He leaned his weight against the wall he was dressed in the fanciest clothing he could purchase for such a event.

 "It's not much of a life you're living" Looking out of the window as the night sky had the lights upon the street lite up. "It's not just something you take–it's given" He seen people come and go in carriages from the window. Lowering his head as a tear fell to the floor his right paw opening up showing a ring in the palm of his paw. He stood upon the ballroom among the rich, and famous in his ragged dress shirt, and pants the best he could afford and make. The stitching upon his left shoulder was from a tare he tried to fix. "Round and around and around and around we go" The image of the female he loved and wanted to share his life with, in the arms of another. His ears lowered down to his head "Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know." Placing the ring in front of the window, with a slight sigh. He left the room putting on his coat from the floor of the coat closet seeing as they had used it as something to wipe their boots on once they came inside the building.

"Not really sure how to feel about it." Leaving as he noticed her having a good time dancing with another, he smiled slightly seeing her smile, before leaving. "Something in the way you move" much later appeared walking over a bridge, paws in his pockets glancing at the edge of the bridge for a moment before continuing on across. "Makes me feel like I can't live without you." Crossing the bridge he stopped at a empty building, the roof caving in, and the door smashed. "It takes me all the way." Looking back at the bridge then at the building he would make his way to the land owners waking them up and began bargaining with them purchasing the place. "I want you to stay." Stepping into the room with the other male, as her clothing was being taken off one at a time. The light from the ring would reflect catching her eye as she closed her eyes both of them taking each other upon the floor of the room. Afterwards covered in the sheet of the bed they had missed, she walked over to the window looking at the ring. She reached down picking it up looking at it for a moment before noticing an engraved signature on the inside with his and her name with a heart around it.

The seasons changed as years past he worked in his own shop, selling, trading and bargaining with the towns people. He would have a customer in the shop as he began bargaining with them. She would stand in the window glancing at him in the shop, before making her way down the street in one of her outing dresses. Her umbrella over head as the sun was bright, and shined down on the land. Both at the same time began singing once again, while he continued bargaining "Ooh, ooh, ooh, the reason I hold on" She stopped by a fountain in the middle of the town. Sitting down by the edge as she looked at herself in the reflection "Ooh, ooh, ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone" Small children ran by her, playing as she remembered playing with him as the kids were chasing each other around. "Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving"

The customer leaving with the purchased goods, he walked them out as he stretched his tired old bones. "'Cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving." Looking around with a smile upon his face, soon noticing her sitting at the fountain. She was there alone keeping the sun from touching her face. He stopped and watched her for a moment, his mind thinking about last time he had seen her that night. The last night he had seen her so close, "Not really sure how to feel about it." She looked over at the shop seeing him outside as their eyes locked. She slowly stood up from her seat gripping the umbrella tighter in her paw. "Something in the way you move" He began to make his way to her, before stopping seeing the other male from that night had walked up beside her gripping her arm. Watched for a moment, before turning around as he headed back inside of his shop, with his ears lowered down to his head. The other male holding onto her arm leading her towards a carriage.

 Frowning as she followed, both singing once again together "Makes me feel like I can't live without you." He stood behind the counter, watching her being taken away once more. He looked down for a moment, before raising his head looking into her eyes "It takes me all the way." Her face quickly moved out of view and down to the floor of the carriage. The other male had struck her in the face with the back of his paw. His eyes wide, quickly gripped the club from under the counter and raced outside striking the back of the other male in anger. Her eyes filled with tears as she lifts herself from the carriage floor noticing both males fighting. She stared, seeing the two fighting knowing them both as she stood in the carriage "I want you to stay, stay."

 Both males wrestling around before he smacked his club into the other male until they stopped moving. Standing up, looking up at her for a moment wiping his head from some of the blood from his face. He walked over to the door of the carriage reached his paw out to her his forehead bloody slightly, both looking each other in the eyes "I want you to stay," As she reached out for him, a blade of a sword was struck into his back through his stomach as he was repeatedly impaled with the blade. Before falling to the ground with the club gripped in his paw, she screamed out as she jumped to him and covered him with her body. She began crying, pulling him into her arms tears began flowing down her cheeks. Reaching up as his fingers began wiping the tears away from her face. "oh." Looking into her eyes as he laid there bleeding with a smile mouthing to her "I love you."
