Chapter 1:Tragedy Strikes

Elizabeth's POV

"Elizabeth I have to go, I'll be back for dinner. I love you." Jim tells me but I knew he was wrong he wasn't coming back. Sometimes I hate when I'm right. I wanted to tell him to come back, to let someone else go, I couldn't he was gone.

Four hours after dinner

No, this isn't happening! He can't be dead!

"Elizabeth, you have to listen to me, Jim was attacked and killed. We can't find the body, it was probably eaten but there's loads of blood. "Malcolm tells me he told the kids twenty minutes ago but, I couldn't except it. I hugged Malcolm and cried on his shoulder, he just held me close and tried to soothe me.

The next morning

Malcolm stayed with me all night as I cried. I guess I fell asleep because when I awoke Malcolm's arms were still around me. He was already up, Malcolm smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

"It's going to be alright Elizabeth, I'll make sure of that." Malcolm tells me. When he finishes speaking I lean up and kiss him.

"Elizabeth what" Malcolm starts to say before I stop him by saying "Malcolm just kiss me, I need someone to take away the pain."

"Does this mean we're back together?" Malcolm asks me obviously very confused.

"Yes it does." I answer simply.
