Chapter 1: The Looming Storm
The wind whipped around her, her hair snapping every which way. She sat perched on the rock watching the storming sea as the gray sky turned blacker with each passing cloud. The beach was more of a soft gray rather than a bright beautiful gold it normally was. Her soft blonde hair was not looking very blonde at the moment. It was as if she were inside a black and white television. It killed him to see her like this. It made him look duller than normal although he had begun to brighten up as time had come to pass.
He walked cautiously up to her. Getting a closer looking at her once beautiful face, now drowned in sadness, he saw silent tears pouring out of her puffy gray eyes, but never murmuring a single sound, enclosing them in a silence only penetrated by the roaring thunder still pending out at sea but growing dangerously close with each passing breathe. The angel that lit up all their lives was in pain, and all he could do was watch. He longed to take her in his arms and hold her, but he could not. He could barely be strong for himself, let alone be strong for this goddess.
"He's not going to make it, is he?" She said emotionlessly, yet so full of emotion, one stranger to the situation would be lost in contemplation of the emotions they would forget the question. If he was foreign to the situation he would have had this excuse, but instead he was lost in thought about the situation, therefore he missed her question, only hearing her angelic voice, which was calm and steady, however shaky and stressed.
"Hmm? Oh are you okay?" He asked ghostly quiet, barely rising above the sound of the coming thunder, which to most who knew him was rare.
She refused to answer his question, only staring straight out to the sea that threatened to swallow her with its giant mouth. She began to repeat her question quietly, whispering but the sound suppressed by the endless roaring. He stared at her not knowing if she indeed said something or not because the crashing was coming closer. She repeated it louder but all he heard was, "He's faking it, isn't he?"
"What?" He asked not believing she could say something like that about him, the man she loved. Regardless, he was forced to ask her to repeat it because he was not sure if that was in fact what she had said.
"He's Not Going To Make It, Is He?!" She screamed at him as lightning struck the sand at her feet, but not fazing the poor, tired woman.
"He's slipped into a coma." He mumbled fighting back the tears that had forced their way to the front and were on the verge of rebelling against their capture and running freely across his face. She saw his lips move but could not hear him. She gave him a puzzled look, causing him to shout out, "He's in a coma!" Her face broke into a thousand emotions as the skies opened up to cry with her, and his tears revolt to join the party of droplets falling gaily to the ground.
She finally processed what he had told her. He was in a coma. "H-how, how bad?" She stuttered. He managed to hear her as she had stumbled closer to him than either had realized.
He took a moment to steady his self, and make sure his quivering voice did not betray his mind and tell his worst fear. "They don't know yet." He said clearly, strongly, and hopeful, but she noticed the laced truth. Her suspicions were confirmed when she looked into his eyes and they unmistakably told the legitimacy.
Rather than ask any more questions she had opted to look away from him, only to step wrong and begin tumbling before his strong arm caught her, holding her tightly. He held her for a good fifteen minutes in the pouring rain, as thunder and lightning fought to scare them more than the other, and the wind moaned in agony, and the raging sea shrank away from them, as the massive waves crashed closer.
