Every thing is alright.
Mara held the head of her beloved husband in her lap. She brushed her hands over Luke's blond hair as she wept. Mara never really cried before, but she couldn't control it. It couldn't be held back. Her husband saved her and life and gave up his.
She kept thinking what will happen to her and Ben. Ben was only a year old and Luke had such a way with him. Her sobs become harder. Her soft tears rained down on Luke's dead body. Her heart was broken because of his death and she felt as it could never again mend.
Mara looked down at his wound in his chest and realized that He was barely breathing. She grasped on to what little hope there was and quickly tried to carry him to shelter. But his barley living body was too heavy for her to carry alone. She reached down into herself using the force to guide and slowly was able to some how got him to shelter.
She laid him under the makeshift tent she found under a huge tree. She ripped off his shirt and began to mend and stabilize his would that was heavily bleeding. She tried to stay strong but it was hard too. She needed him. He was her life. She had to fight for him.
She did the best she could with him and felt that he was in a deep trance. She laid back against the side of the shelter feeling hot tears fall against her face. Hoping and praying that Luke will be alright Mara eventually cried her self into a light and restless slumber.
Half way through the sorrowful night a mumble came form Luke. Mara jerked awake and went by his side. He mumbled again.. "Shhh Luke. Everything's alright." She sobbed in his ear. His eyes still closed he mumbled again but still not understandable. She grabbed his hand and leaned over by his side. "Shhh." She cooed. She rocked back in forth trying to comfort here self as much as Luke.
He went quiet. Nothing was heard not even a breath. Mara held her breath tight and bit her pink lip. Finally Luke crystal blue eyes subtlety opened up. He made a slight grown. Mara let out her breath and went closer to him and kissed him on the lips.
"What happened?" He asked Horsley trying to sit up.
"Shhh. Don't sit up. You saved my life. You took the bullet that was meant for me." She said with tears of joy falling form her face.
"mm. That explains why I'm in pain.' Luke said teasingly with a small smirk on his face. "What's wrong?" Luke added.
"Nothing I'm just so glad your alive. That all." Mara said in-between tears. Luke brushed his hand over Mara soft pale face.
"I'll always be with you Mara always. I love you so very much." Luke said with a smile. Mara was grabbed into a kiss of passion and she knew right then that everything was going to be ok.
