---- And I made sure her funeral was the best ever known.

And this was the least I could have done for her.

I take hasty steps towards the building when my guards also shift back and stand behind me.

I had barely covered half way when the door suddenly creaked open and my steps faltered.

They slower down and come to a halt.

A figure A silhouette.

Steps out of the door and my chest fills with relief.

She is fine.

Thank moon goddess.

I am on time: She didn't do anything stupid.

Doll I take a step forward.

With my body begging to have her in my arms.

I swear I will never push her away from me.

Instant relief filly my insides and I could finally breathe again.

---- ee = We will be having a happily ever after with our beautiful kids running around us.

A boy and girl.

Both will have her beautiful innocent eyes.

I will preserve their innocence and I would never let this world taint them.

She is mine And I will treasure her till my last breath.

My doll.

A smile stretches on my lips and I had barely taken another step forward when the clouds veiling the full moon clear out and it's light fell on the silhouette.

Blue.

Deep blue like the depths of the ocean.

Not brown.

Not that brown warm as the first rays of the sun.

Not those brown I looked into when I entered her.

Not those brown who cried and begged me to forgive her as they proclaimed their love for me.

Xav.....

ter ---- That sweet shrill voice wasnt hers And thats when recognition floods in and the reality hit me like a sledgehammer into my very heart.

Rebecca? Xavier! I was frozen.

My body unable to move.

The silhouette steps into the light.

Those golden locks, those blue eyes.

That pale skin flushing red with blood Blood that was long dried from her every cell, every organ, every inch.

Blood that was now flushing, running, making her once still heart beat again.

The next thing I know she runs towards me and her body crashes into mine.

I stumble back, my hands still in the air as she wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into her tight embrace.

You are here! You were waiting for me! I cant believe this! I am alive baby...

1am breathing.

---- eee = She cries, sobs and whispers in my ear.

I feel her trembling lips next to my ear but I stay frozen.

T was waiting for her ....I was not.

I didn't even know she had been brought back.

T thought it was impossible.

One doesn't come back from death.noveldrama

Death is something we have to accept, to move on from.

But she is here.

Right in front of me.

Breathing.

Looking the same as [left her.

Her scent was the same.

Resembling a garden of Jasmines.

A scent T had almost forgot.

Almost lost.

The scent I had replaced with that sweet cherry blossoms.

Tt feels just like yesterday.

I waited for you Xav...

why did you take so much time? they tortured me...

their men raped me...that man David...

he asked me to scream for you as he tortured me..

I cried for you
