He watches with horror as he looks at Feona's lifeless body lying on the floor. He walks up to her slowly and falls beside her. He looks at her beautiful face as she lies there motionless, looking just like a nymph in deep sleep. He feels a searing pain in his chest, thinking how can she leave him like this? How?? He sits there wordless, motionless like a stone just staring at her.
Suddenly his heart leaps in the chest as he watches her eyelashes flip twice. She flips eyelashes couple more time before finally opening her eyes. She opens her eyes to see Evan's dazzled face ten inches away. She looks into his eyes and finds the extreme fear and concern in them. "Oh Evan! What happened to me?" she asks. "My head feels so heavy! I remember running into the room, looking for the gun. Then everything just became so blurry and dark!" she says in a whisper.
"Oh, it's nothing hun! You just had your spirit asleep for a while." he says as he kisses her forehead, thanking God silently in his heart. "The renegades are gone, you don't have to worry anymore. Let me take you bed, you need some rest." says Evan.
He lifts her up and carries her to the bed, placing her down gently on the bed. He pulls up the covers to her chin and gives a light kiss on her head. "try to sleep hun. I'll be right back." She grabs his hand and whispers softly " Evan, Please don't leave me alone again!" He pats her hand lightly and says "let me just close the doors and put the locks on & I'll be back in a sec." "Don't worry hun, I'll never let you go again."
He goes around the house and locks all the doors and windows. Then he comes back to the bedroom and slips into bed. She senses him and cuddles into his arms. The wind whistles outside as they drift into deep sleep, exhausted and relieved! Sleeping like a child in each others arms.
