He walked alone just like he always would, it was a cool clear night in the autumn. He looked for comfort from wherever he could in his little metropolis of the fallen. He'd been alone longer than he cared to admit, and it's a fitting way to live; in memory of some other time when she still held you through the night and you could stand to see the light... But that was years ago. Thirsty, he walked inside...

She walked alone just like she always had, it was her eighth and final trip into the city. She saw him walking and smelled the blood on his hands and thought she recognized him. But no, it couldn't be. She'd spent eternities in Hell, long enough to forget his face. But somehow, seeing him tonight still struck a chord... She sat and watched him from afar from the corner booth of the bar. He grabbed the bartender and said to the horde,

"Jack and The Captain wish you well! (Till the sunlight gives you Hell...) But tomorrow's a new day, and it's still so far away. Here's to love had and then lost, to life no matter what the cost! Here's another round on me, so let's tip our glass and drink."

He knew that there wasn't much pride in hunting this way; lock the door and drink your fill after you've got everyone shit faced. But, it'd been hundreds of years and he had lost the thrill of the chase... He was tired, hungry, sad, alone, and wanted to see her face. He didn't like this modern world, he didn't like not having her, and it was Hell enough to live a thousand lives without the girl he knew he'd never see again when years ago she stabbed him dead, until he caught her scent there at the door...

"I've seen you before. Yes, I know your face... You're as beautiful as ever, dear. It's funny I'd see you tonight of all nights, the last place I'd expect you is here. It's been such a long road since the last time we met, but I never quite fell out of love with the memory of us. We've got lots to catch up on! Hey, bartender, bring us two... oh what the..."

"Jack and The Captain wish you well! (Till the sunlight gives you Hell...) But tomorrow's a new day, and it's still so far away. Here's to love had and then lost, to life no matter what the cost! Here's another round on me, so let's tip our glass and drink."

It wasn't midnight yet when she said, "Hey, come outside. I'd love to feel the breeze and get some air and walk the night." It was the furthest thought from his mind that she had tried to kill him once before and wouldn't mind it twice. With her hand ready on a wooden stake she promised that she wouldn't make the same mistake and miss his heart... But seeing him this way was hard enough, as they were getting on quite famously. But, Hell was long behind her now, and she'd be damned if she went there once more.

"Jack and The Captain wish you well! (Till the sunlight gives you Hell...) But tomorrow's a new day, and it's still so far away. Here's to love had and then lost, to life no matter what the cost! Here's another round on me, so let's tip our glass and drink and think back to another time before the souls inside us died!" As the splinter of wood hit his heart, he looked her in the eyes and told her, "Lucy, I'm so glad I got to see you one more time." "Oh, no..." she said, "the pleasure's been all mine."
