[thebirdandhersong]

Sometimes I'm like naw symbolic foreshadowing in MY life? Not a thing. Doesn't happen. And then I remember the locket incident and I have to stop myself and go no go back actually that was near cinematic the way you scrabbled around for it and then gave up and then everything hit the fan

WYWH

Pairing: Kamilah x MC (Dakota Rivers)

Summary: It's just been two days since Dakota died. Kamilah went to visit her grave where she reminisces about the dark solstice when, Dakota gave her the life's blessing.

Author's note: Hello! I just recently finished replaying bb book 2 and the holiday special when I got the idea to write this. It's my first time writing a fanfic ( yay?) So be kind hehe. Anyways, enjoy.

Content: Angst and loss.

Song: Ghost of you by 5 SOS

I don't own any of the characters, credits go to Pixelberry.

Kamilah sat in front of the tombstone and read the tombstone's epitaph again, even though she was the one to choose those words-

Here lies, Dakota Rivers

"We have known beauty

Which will last the years

And love which men and women have

died for and not known"

You will always be remembered.

Kamilah looked down at the 'Life's blessing' Dakota had given her during the dark solstice holiday, reminiscing the memory.

"Habiti, where are you taking me?" Kamilah asked as Dakota dragged her to the balcony. There was debris of the broken wall, a reminder of their victory against the Red Saint.

"Heeeeyyy so umm... I got you something which I thought you might like.."Dakota fumbled as she handed the hastily wrapped package, her fingers shaking slightly.

"Dakota...you do know that I won't bite you right?" Kamilah said, as she grasped her trembling fingers and gently squeezed. "Atleast, not yet." Kamilah added huskily, resulting in Dakota breaking into a blush, as she relaxed.

Kamilah carefully opened the wrapping paper, her breath getting caught on see the dainty crystalline locket, in which Dakota's blood shimmered like the starry night.

"A life's blessing." Kamilah breathed out, emotions that she thought were dead, rushing through her like a whirlwind.

Kamilah always thought, no believed that she was beyond saving and that maybe she deserved to live all of eternity, sad and lonely. The sins she had done, the people she had killed, she didn't deserve to be happy.

But them came Dakota. A girl whose "chaotic energy" as stated by Lily just turned her life upside down. A beautiful woman who convinced Kamilah's stubborn self that she deserved happiness and she was redeemable. She was attached to this mortal way too much.

"Dakota I am.." Kamilah was at a loss of words.

"Please say you're happy." Dakota rushed out.

Kamilah just smiled and looked up at her. "Happiness would hardly compass this." She gently lifted the chain over her head and placed the locket over her suit, internally promising herself that she won't part ways from this gift ever.

"Uh, so I bought this gift as sign that even if I am not around, I will always be by your side, I will always be near your heart... I just want you to know that I lo- I genuinely care for you. I know that you are still dealing with your past, and I am willing to wait for you... But hopefully one day, I can be bloodbound to you." Dakota's grey eyes met Kamilah's dark eyes, as she gave a huge grin, leading Kamilah to catch her breath for the second time that evening.

"I'm moved. Deeply moved. Thank you for giving me a piece of your heart." Kamilah said as she pulled Dakota close to her and leaned down to kiss her tenderly.

Usually Kamilah, the ice queen never showed emotions, but this thoughtful gesture made her heart burst with immense love for this lovely beautiful woman in her arms.

That was the day she realised that she was in love.

Coming back to the present, Kamilah just rubbed the pendant and gave a dry chuckle.

"Habiti, when you said that 'you wouldn't be around' I never thought that you would actually be.... gone." Kamilah said softly, as that one painful memory came rushing to the surface.

To see her queen die in her arms as she bled out was never supposed to happen.

They were supposed to go jewelry shopping and buy that ridiculous tiara for Dakota.

They were supposed to have a number of girl nights with Lily where Dakota forced her to taste the monstrosity called junk food.

To wake up beside her and to love her and to cherish. Forever. Indefinitely.

"But you wouldn't like me beating myself up, would you?" Kamilah gave a teary smile. "Nobody is alright. Everything has changed. Lily cries all the time, Jax has punched so many holes into Adrian's office wall that I'm surprised the building hasn't collapsed. Adrian...he sulks, scowls and blames himself...just like me. But he doesnt know that it was actually all my fault. If I was faster, quieter, quicker, maybe you would still be here. We failed you. I failed you."

She thought that, Dakota would come back to her when she attempted to turn her... But that never happened.

"Dakota, I- why haven't you come back? I thought that I would never feel loss ever again but you had to just come and turn my life upside down, didn't you? I just wish you were here..." Kamilah said as the tears streamed down her face.

"We had so many plans and now it's just me. Its getting harder day by day to not hear you hum those indie songs, your not-so-funny jokes on which you would laugh and your unhealthy obsession with KitKat."

Kamilah sighed as she rubbed her fingers on the crystal containing Dakota's blood.

"I didn't even get to say I love you..."

Kamilah looked up to the smokey sky of New York City trying to collect herself, which was getting tougher to do.

She looked down at the grave and set the bouquet of forget-me-nots and kissed the tips of her fingers before touching them back on the freshly dug gravestone.

"I will always to bloodbound to you habiti. I love you. Forever and always."

Thank you for reading :))
