The Reunion
Foss strode up the steps to the Trager home his hand was reaching for the door handle, when he heard a desperate cry coming from inside.
His heart pounded in his chest as he flew through the door, his eyes searching for the source of the noise.
Kyle was laying on the sofa his eyes shut tight, he was whimpering and struggling in his sleep.
Suddenly he shot up into a sitting position, his eyes were wild with terror. "Jessi" he screamed out, "Jessi."
Foss was kneeling beside him in an instant trying to calm him down, Kyle was looking around the room a look of confusion on his face.
"What happened" Foss said alarmed by Kyle's behaviour, "Jessi" was Kyle's vague reply.
"Jessi's fine I just left her, what's all this about" asked Foss calmly.
"Jessi's alive" Kyle eventually managed to utter, he stood up from the sofa and walked slowly towards the window. Kyle rubbed his hands across his face and blinked at the sunshine streaming in, "I dreamt she died" he said softly.
"You did" Foss looked shocked by Kyle's admission, he stood beside him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"It was so vivid, you were here and the phone rang Stephen was on the other end, he said Jessi was dead."
Kyle realised he was shaking his whole body was damp with sweat.
Foss made him sit back down, reassuring him the whole time that it was just a dream or rather a nightmare.
Eventually Kyle calmed down, then remembering Jessi was still very sick he went to fetch the antidote he had made.
"Let's go" he announced as he reached for his shoes,
"You can't come" Foss replied.
"Look I'm coming you can't stop me, please I need to see her" Kyle begged,
Against his better judgement Foss relented, he was sure Kyle would follow him anyway.
"Okay, she's at Adam's house" Foss said as he stepped out the door.
Kyle looked stunned all this time and he had never thought to look for her there.
When they reached the house Kyle took off running, he raced into the house and dashed up the stairs. He noticed the door to the master bedroom was ajar, he listened in at the door and heard a familiar heartbeat.
I tentatively opened the door and walked inside, my eyes darting around the room searching for her. I looked towards the bed and found her, sleeping peacefully her chest gently rising and falling.
I let out a sigh of relief Jessi was alive truly alive, I could hear her steady breaths and feel our connection strengthen.
I walked in a trance over to where Jessi slept, and looked at her frail face closely.
She was so changed everything about her had altered, Jessi's complexion was white her body desperately wasted. I reached for her hand and clasped it in mine, it was so delicate I was afraid it would break.
Tears began to fall from my eyes as I watched the tragedy of Jessi's plight, seeing someone I love so dangerously ill was heart breaking.
I felt her eyes upon me, I looked up and saw those eyes I feared I would never see again. They were beautiful but also greatly changed, the brightness was gone in its place was an aching void clouded by sorrow and fatigue.
I reached down and gently placed a kiss on her ivory lips, she smiled fondly as I pulled away.
I softly stroked her face and whispered in her ear how much I loved her, as she ran her fingers across my face I felt a faint tingle of electricity.
I slowly laid beside and gently held her in my arm, Jessi leaned into my embrace and rested her head on my chest.
We stayed wrapping in each others arms, we were finally reunited, a whole once again.
Jessi looked angelic as the light filtered through the window and rested on her pillow, she was forever sacred to me now.
I was blessed I had my soul mate back.
