Introduction

Guys! You guys… I'm alive!

Shal… don't cry… I'm not dead

Jesse, Bren… Don't leave me! Why can't you hear me?

Why can't I move?

She could hear their grief, she could feel everything around her but she could not move, she could not open her eyes. What was happening to her?

Soon all around her was silence and peace; she had lost touch with the surrounding environment. It was so peaceful, so peaceful; she hadn't felt this peace in years. It felt so good. But no! …her friends she could not leave them…but it was so good …Why not? Why she should get back to that pain, that anxiety she felt these past months, it was her right to rest, she deserved it …and then that light, that warm light that was welcoming her, it made her feel as light as a feather… but something was keeping her from touching it, her past memories would not give her peace in that moment she began seeing her friends, her mates and for the second time felt their grief and she remembered all their moments together, good and bad, always together…NO! She could not leave yet! Their memory would not let her.

and there was someone else who would not let her die either:

"Emma don't you die on me! Come on Em, you're stronger than that! Don't give up!"

She came closer and closer to that light, she could almost touch it… and than the light started to diminish and instead a mass of shocking waves was piercing her senses, taking her back from that tranquility …. and instead of it she started feeling the desperation and anxiety around her…there was someone there calling her desperately, trying to make her come back. She felt another shock passing her body; it was different, now she could feel the pain. She could not open her eyes but she could hear, sense once again all that was around her.

She sensed someone familiar near her… that concern, that preoccupation was too familiar not to be recognized… It is Adam! He is alive! …for the first time from the incident she could sense him, he was alive, other than that preoccupation he was well, she felt it.

"Ok guys, we stabilized her………..Thanks! You were great!

It's okay Emma, you may rest now…"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………Rest? How could she rest when she did not know what was happening to her? What was all this? Why couldn't she wake up? She tried to sense the people around her and with her last forces she read one's mind

Oh my God! I am in a coma.

And then all went black. All she could see around her was a wide sea of blackness and after that flashes from the past started to pass in front of her eyes: meeting Brennan for the first time at that club, being saved by Jesse and Shal while she was running from the GSA agents, being recruited by Adam, pieces from their missions, the times spent together and then the explosion, the team calling her desperately, Adam trying to grab her hand, the moment she plunged into the freezing water.

Remembering all those things hurt like hell and she could do nothing, she could not shield herself from her own memories. The only thing she could do was to retreat into her subconscious sanctuary, the only thing that could give her the comfort she needed so badly. In a moment she was surrounded by the scents and colors of her beautiful garden, the inner garden in which she would retreat from the outside world every time she was meditating. And that really made her rest, the break she needed so much.
