Aww, so here we go...to be honest I'm really sad about ending this fic, and I've grown quite attached. Please enjoy!
Dear Skye,
I'm not sure I believe them when they say they'll post this, but it's worth a try. I mean, how do they know where you are? How do they know when you'll be arriving at a certain address? And they'll probably read it. After all, I am a deranged lunatic.
I still see them. All the time. But I'm used to them now. Sometimes I see you, Skye, and that sounds creepy but it's the truth. I feel free. Before, it was like I was bound to them and I had to do what they said - and please, believe me when I say that what I did to you was out of my control - but now, it is different. I'm free truly now, even in prison.
There's a man who comes and talks to me. A doctor, apparently. Well, he doesn't call himself that, but a true doctor wouldn't. Particularly not to somebody like me. He says that one day they'll let me out. He says that whatever terrible things I've done, they weren't my fault.
I don't believe him, of course. I mean, why should I?
Maybe I was possessed. Maybe I was too far gone to care, but Skye, what I did, everything I did, was wrong and my fault and I'll never forgive myself. Are you better now? They don't tell me anything here. They say the information isn't mine to know. And maybe it isn't. But it would be nice to have somebody trust me.
I'd love to see your face again. I know that you hate me and that you will never forgive me and I accept that, but...as this letter is going to be destroyed, there probably isn't much need for me to keep whatever feelings to myself.
Can I trust you, Skye? The people, they come to me every day, and sometimes they help me, and sometimes they look at me with such horror and loathing that sometimes I wake up screaming. I don't know what's happening to me now, and that's tearing me apart. The others who are just as mad as me avoid me like I'm the Plague (whatever that is) and I think they're scared of me. Almost as scared as I am of them.
One day, maybe I'll be dead and you'll read this. Maybe I will post it to you myself. If I was allowed, and stuff.
Is Coulson ok? And FitzSimmons and May? Tell them thank you for helping me. Tell them I miss them. Tell them I'm sorry, but save the biggest apology for yourself, Skye. Because I am more sorry than you will ever understand.
And Skye... I love you. And I thank you for that.
Sincerely,
Grant Douglas Ward.
Ward-
I forgive you.
-Skye
I'm sorry! I don't want to have to end it so badly, but I've had that idea floating around for a while and I'd like to get it down.
I've really enjoyed writing this, and I'd like to thank everybody who followed, reviewed and and favourited this fic, particularly annavale23, who as far as I know has reviewed every single time I've posted.
Reviews!
babycraycray- I'm kind of sad too... For the FitzSimmons fic, I was thinking of doing a kind of AU thingy where Simmons replaces Skye. I'll see, anyway! I hope you weren't disappointed by the ending!
I have too much spare time- Ah, it's a good thing! Great! Did you like that? It was short and snappy, I know, but I'd like to see the reaction. Thank you for taking the time to read this, it means the world to me that people are actually interested in my writing!
rebeccaskyeward12- I know, right? There's something really satisfying about creating OCs you really hate... I felt really mean when he grabbed Simmons like that! Thank you for reviewing!
annavale23- Thank you! I hope that you liked this, and I'd love to thank you in person, but seeing as I can't, I'll give you a metaphorical hug. I hope you weren't annoyed by the epilogue... Thank you so much for reviewing, I still can't quite believe that I reached 40 reviews!
Agentmusicart-Yes, I felt kind of weepy writing it... However, I don't really think that Skye and Ward would run away together, considering that he shot her and all... For some weird reason DocManager wouldn't let me save your name, so I've done it like that, I'm not sure why... Thank you for reviewing!
websky- I can't quite believe I'm finishing it now! It seems like such a long time ago that I started this, but it's actually only just over two weeks! Thank you, you're a very loyal reviewer and I've really enjoyed hearing from you.
AOSshipper- There you go! Please try not die! Was that all right? I think it was probably a bit short... Thank you for reviewing, I'm so glad you enjoyed this!
That's my review record, let's try and break it for the final instalment! I'll reply to any reviews by pm for this, so don't feel like you shouldn't!
I've lived writing this, and I'm thrilled that people actually enjoyed it.
Thank you!
