Authors Note: I was in a bad mood when I wrote this story. There is a character death. If you don't like the idea of any of them dying then don't read this story. (Don't get me wrong I wouldn't want any of them to die on the show but this is only a fic). If you do read it then remember to review. Try listening to the song "What if God was One of Us" when you read it. It might be only me but I find that song kind of sad if you listen to it either watching or reading of someone's death. (I'm weird I know but try it.)

On with the story...

*`*`*`*`*``*`*`*`*`*`*`*``*``*`* Chapter 1

The pain is slowly starting to retreat. It is hidden in the deepest corner of my heart just waiting to resurface once again.

At this moment I only feel the numbness that follows. I feel the walls closing in on me and I cant breathe.

Everyone believes that it is not healthy for me to continue on like this but it's not like they are doing any better.

Brennan is taking it by far the hardest. I've caught him crying in the darkness asking her for forgiveness more than once.

No one expected this to happen least of all me. The day had started out perfectly. It was one of those days where if I had the power to freeze it I would have.

I had woken up with her asleep next to me. Her head was on my chest and her arm around my stomach. I could feel her warm breath just under my throat.

Suddenly in the blink of an eye everything changed. I found myself staring at Brennan who was walking into Sanctuary with her in his arms. His face was tear streaked and I immediately knew something was wrong.

I lost her. I lost the person that I loved the most. I just think of her sweet smile and gentle touch and it makes my heart break.

She had been with Brennan when it happened. They had both gone to meet a new mutant when she was suddenly hit by an electric blast from Brennan. Before he had any chance to react she had hit the floor landing on a crate of wood breaking it in pieces.

Brennan did everything possible to help her. As soon as he got into Sanctuary he started yelling for Adam.

I still remember my reaction when I saw them. I had been scared and angry. At first I thought that she was only unconscious but when I saw Brennan's face I knew it was something more serious...

****Review and let me know if I should continue. If you have read my other story I will have the last chapter up by tomorrow night.****
