Epilogue
**Please note this is written from Will's Perspective**
I had just dragged Lewis to the boat with Cleo & Zane, who had just left in Zane's boat to get Lewis to hospital on the mainland. I was now making the hike back up to the moon pool to take care of the girls.
As I got closer, I heard two very raised female voices, belonging to Bella & Rikki.
I hurried my pace up a bit, knowing that with Rikki moonstruck, anything could happen. As I pushed through the low branches and other rainforest greenery, I got closer and closer to the intense argument and heat that was radiating from the cave.
I crouched down as I braced myself for the fall down the steep hole, which entered the cave and moon pool. "Ah" I said softly from the steep ride, even though I was prepared for it.
As I walked up the stone stairs that Lewis had carved, I heard Rikki yell "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO BELLA! REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME SOMEONE TRIED TO GET ME TO GIVE UP? REMEMBER THAT?"
I hurried, through the cave, and as I walked into the small stony room the first thing I saw Bella on the floor.
Her face was so pale… it was a shade of white I didn't know was possible for her tanned complexion.
It hurt seeing my girlfriend feeling like that.
I instantly began fearing for Bella.
I observed the two for a moment; Rikki was standing, in a way so that she was towering over Bella and looking down at her.
Her crystal blue eyes were fierce, strong, determined & filled with hate. When she spoke -or yelled- her words that she spat out, her voice and face were filled with venom & hate.
It made me shiver that this was actually one of my closest friends, who in a normal situation, would never even think of hurting her friends. Yet tonight we all feared her. And feared what she was capable of.
I had to stop her, for Bella.
"STOP RIKKI" I yelled as I took one step closer.
As soon as the words had left my mouth, both the girls jumped in shock and I had two pairs of blue eyes looking at me.
All in one second, I glanced at Rikki who looked shocked, and it felt like time was slowing down as I saw her hand moving towards my direction which was already loaded from her showdown with Bella.
Then I turned and I saw a small smile from Bella, who wasn't looking at Rikki. All her attention was on me.
I watched in slow motion as a thin strip of white-yellow lightening came down from the top of the cone of the volcano, towards me.
In the remaining split second, I looked at the girls.
Rikki looked horrified, it was like she regretted –even in her moonstruck state- what her hand had just caused, and very shortly the consequences of it.
Bella on the other hand was smiling, and her face was slightly less pale. She looked as though she was about to move towards me just before the lightening (which she was still oblivious to) was going to hit the ground.
I silently wished that if anyone got hurt, it was me.
The last thing I saw was my absolutley beautiful girlfriend's smile, before I heard a loud cracking or striking noise, and then felt an epic jolt of pain from the electricity & energy passing through me, before my world became numb and black.
**Please note the following is written from Bella's Perspective**
I was about to walk forward to Will when the flash of lightening came out of nowhere, then I saw Will fall to the ground.
I stood there frozen to the spot for a minute. I was overwhelmed & in total shock.
I had not seen any of that coming.
The second my body and mind coordinated themselves, I went running over to Will, who was lying on the floor, with his eyes closed. He was completely motionless.
My legs collapsed next to him and I started shaking him, and calling his name.
I got no response or movement apart from the movement caused by me shaking him. My eyes welled up rapidly and for the first time that night, I couldn't feel the burns or the pain from earlier.
I turned around to see Rikki, with my teared-up vision and I saw she was just standing there, motionless and expressionless. She looked like she was in shock. Then as she saw me looking at her, -tears falling down my face- she dived into the pool and swam through the rock that separated the cave and the ocean.
I turned back to Will crying and hugging him, wishing it was a bad dream, or that everything would change back when the moon set in the morning.
All night I sobbed, holding Will's lifeless body. Then at around 6oclock in the morning, I heard someone come down the hole from the main area of the island. I ran to whoever it was in the cave, and as soon as Zane saw me crying he asked "What's wrong Bella?"
I led him into the main part of the cave, with the moon pool and Will, and I started crying more, seeing him again.
The rest of the day felt like a blur, I can't exactly remember what happened, but we decided to keep Will down in the cave and get the police and paramedics.
How we were going to explain it was another problem, but we would cross that bridge when we came to it.
It has been two years since that night, but the pain is still so fresh.
At first I didn't talk to my best friend that took away Will. Then, overtime, I slowly forgave Rikki.
I knew that yes, it was her fault, but she had no intention what so ever of doing it.
2 years after the day Will died
I made my daily swim to Mako Island. When I reached the moon pool, I climbed out and sat near the small memory stone, which has become a daily tradition for me. I read the stone's writing which was engraved into it, that I had memorised:
-RIP-
William Jay Benjamin
13th November 1990 – 1st October 2008
Age 18
Forever loved and remembered.
An untimely death & loss
I felt a huge pang of sadness as I realized what could have been.
Lewis & Cleo have just become engaged, and Zane & Rikki are still together, looking like they might be on the same path.
If Will was still here, what would life be like for us? Would we still be together? Would we be engaged? Married? Who knows...
I still miss Will & I still love him, but life is to be lived, and I know that's what Will would want me to do with the gift that Rikki took away.
~The End~
Awh, another sad chapter, but with a bit of clearance at the end. I cried when I wrote thais chapter, particularly the parts where Will sees Bella & how she's oblivious to what Will saw coming. Sad :(
