Remember by Kristen Fife Inspired by the song "Remember" by Josh Groban on the Troy soundtrack. A truly haunting song. I don't own LaCroix, he is the property of Sony TriStar.

Anyone else, just email me. =================================== LaCroix walked into the bookstore, detesting the modernity of the concept of “chain stores”. He sighed and went to the counter he had been directed to by the bored mortal teen at the information desk. Annoyed, he looked around and saw no one wearing the nametag proclaiming him or herself to be an employee of the store. He stalked over to the music section and looked around, his ire rising. He stilled, his eyes narrowing to slits as the lyrics of a haunting song seeped into his mind. The tenor singing had a rich and stirring voice. "Remember, I will still be here As long as you hold me, in your memory Remember, when your dreams have ended Time can be transcended Just remember me I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly, It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun" Fleur. His heart lurched and a shot of never-ending pain lanced through him. "I'm with you Whenever you tell, my story Remember, I will still be here As long as you hold me, in your memory Remember me I am the one voice in the cold wind, that whispers And if you listen, you'll hear me call across the sky As long as I still can reach out, and touch you Then I will never die" He closed his eyes as pain washed over him. The only woman to touch him in a thousand years. He envisioned her sweet face turned toward the stars. "Remember, I'll never leave you If you will only Remember me Remember me... Remember, I will still be here As long as you hold me In your memory Remember, when your dreams have ended Time can be transcended I live forever Remember me Remember me Remember... me..." In a hoarse whisper, he vowed, “I will always remember you, and you will never leave my heart.” He went in search of the CD containing that song, his special order book forgotten.
