FEAR
A JQ:TRA Music Video
Original Song:  Sarah McLachlan

DISCLAIMER:  I only own Pearl.  Everybody else is HB's.  No $.
RATING:  HR (Hadji/Pearl), A+

{music intro}
[Pearl is walking up a rocky slope, very slowly, her hair unbound and blowing
wild in a gusting breeze.  She wears a long black filmy dress and a black lace
jacket.  The sky above her head is full of dark clouds, with distant flashes
of lightning.  Nearing the top of the slope, she begins to sing.]  

Morning smiles
like the face of a newborn child
innocent, unknowing
[She slows as she gets to the top of the slope, which ends in a sudden, jagged
cliff overlooking the ocean]
Winter's end
promises of a long lost friend
speaks to me of comfort
[She looks down at the surf pounding the rocks far below]

But I fear
I have nothing to give
[She looks around at the desolate landscape]
I have so much to lose here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like better than to fall
[The rocks give way under her feet and she falls over the edge]
but I fear I have nothing to give
[She exhibits no fear, and she falls very slowly, her hair drifting around her
like a veil.  As she drifts downward, images flicker briefly to life on the
rocky cliff face, one after the other:  Jonny, giving a thumbs-up and a grin;
Dr. Quest, nodding as though in agreement; Race, smiling; Jessie, looking back
over her shoulder as if encouraging someone to follow her; and finally Hadji,
looking at Pearl from the rock-face and holding out his hand, but as she
reaches out to touch the image it vanishes and she draws back sharply.]

Wind in time
rapes the flower trembling on the vine
nothing yields to shelter it
[More images--of Anaya, holding Hadji at gunpoint; of Elise, her features
shifting from human to demon, reaching out for Hadji as he recoils in horror]
>From above
they say temptation will destroy our love
the never ending hunger
[Pearl looks down; she's still drifting slowly, but the rocks are getting
closer now, and she looks suddenly afraid.]

But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose here in this lonely place
[She looks up at the top of the cliff, so far away and unattainable]
tangled up in our embrace
[She closes her eyes and braces for the impact]
there's nothing I'd like better than to fall
[Suddenly a brown hand catches her arm, stopping her fall abruptly.  She looks
up again, and Hadji is standing on a ledge.  He pulls her up and draws her to
him.]

But I fear
I have nothing to give
[Pearl turns away from him, looking down, ashamed?]
I have so much to lose
[Hadji looks at her questioningly, trying to take her into his arms, but she
stiffly resists]
I have nothing to give
And so much to lose...
[She closes her eyes; when she opens them, she's lying in her bed, alone (of
course).  Still repeating the last two lines of the chorus, she turns on her
side, hugs her pillow and closes her eyes to hold back her tears as the music
fades out.]
