Rose lay in the grass; she always went thereafter she visited Kane's grave She looked to the sky and imagined what life would be like if Kane hadn't have passed away. She ended up falling into a deep sleep after a while; her dreams were the only things that seemed to cheer her up. In her dreams, everything was so different. She missed Kane so much, more than anything. Kane was the only one (other than herself) to appear in her dream this time. A couple of memories were drifting through her dream. One of the memories seemed to be just before Kane died. He and Rose stood next to the fountain. Kane held Rose's hands in his, he looked troubled.
"What's the matter Kane?" Rose asked. Kane took a deep breath and sighed.
"Everyone is trying to get me to join the military, trying to pull me away from you. I don't want to leave you, no matter how much they try to drag me away. Although, it feels as if I am losing this battle against them."
(Kane)
"I'm at war with the world "
"And they try to pull me into the dark"
"I struggle to find my faith"
"As I'm slipping from your arms" He pulled her into his arms.
(Rose)
"It's getting harder to stay awake" Rose rested her head on Kane's chest and closed her eyes.
"And my strength is fading fast"
"You breathe into me at last."
(Both)
"I'm awake, I'm alive"
"Now I know what I believe inside" She pulled away from his embrace and faced him.
"Now it's my time"
(Kane)
"I'll do what I want 'caus this is my life"
"Here"
(Rose)
"Right here"
(Kane)
"Right now"
(Rose)
"Right now"
"Stand my ground and never back down"
(Kane)
"I know what I believe inside"
(Both)
"I'm awake and I'm alive"
(Kane)
"I'm at war with the world"
"'Cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul"
"I've already made up my mind"
"No matter what, I can't be bought or sold"
(Rose)
"When my faith is getting weak"
"And I feel like giving in"
"You breathe into me again"
(Both)
"I'm awake, I'm alive"
"Now I know what I believe inside"
"Now it's my time"
(Kane)
"I'll do what I want 'caus this is my life"
"Here"
(Rose)
"Right here"
(Kane)
"Right now"
(Rose)
"Right now"
"Stand my ground and never back down" She noticed that something began to pull Kane away, she couldn't make out what it was though; whatever was pulling him away had no shape and was pitch black.
(Kane)
"I know what I believe inside" He was clearly struggling against it.
(Both)
"I'm awake and I'm alive"
(Kane)
"Waking up, waking up" He fought his way out of its grasp, or tried to anyway.
"Waking up, waking up."
"Waking up, waking up." Whatever it was began to engulf him.
"Waking up, waking up in the dark" He burst out of it and wrapped his arms back around Rose as if to protect her.
(Both)
"I can feel you in my sleep"
"In your arms I feel you breathe into me"
(Kane)
"Forever hold this heart that I will give to you"
(Both)
"Forever I will live for you" He looked like he was slowly fading away.
"I'm awake, I'm alive"
"Now I know what I believe inside"
"Now it's my time"
(Kane)
"I'll do what I want 'caus this is my life"
"Here"
(Rose)
"Right here"
(Kane)
"Right now"
(Rose)
"Right now"
"Stand my ground and never back down"
(Kane)
"I know what I believe inside"
(Both)
"I'm awake and I'm alive" With every second passing he seemed more and more transparent.
(Kane)
"Waking up, waking up"
"Waking up, waking up" Rose placed her hand on his cheek
"Waking up, waking up" Just before he disappeared completely he pressed his lips to hers.
"Waking up, waking up" His voice rang out through her dream. Rose was once again alone. She could describe the emotions that she was feeling, a mixture of happiness, sorrow, loneliness.
She woke up in the grass where she had fallen asleep earlier. She sat up and looked at the town of Lior; the place was still a wreck but, a new found hope was what encouraged her to get to her feet and keep going. She knew that someone was watching over her, she couldn't help but smile as she walked along.
