I don't own Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.

The empty bed caused Repsaj to scowl at a snail's pace. The bed where his sick wife died recently. Another reason for his current scowl? A memory of abandoning Ailicec as she suffered. Not willing to view her still form. Another memory of returning to the bedroom after a few days.

Yet Repsaj never liked being far from Ailicec when she was alive. She rarely suffered prior to being sick. *That's different* Repsaj thought. His eye widened after Ailicec's spirit materialized in front of him.

Scowling, Ailicec seized Repsaj's throat with one hand. Strangling him. ''You won't abandon me again.''

THE END
