Prolog;
Previously…
And then, at that moment, the sunlight reached Mother and then Jason, Elizabeth and Constable Scorpio could only watch as she, Mother, burst into flames…eventually reduced to a charred skeleton before their eyes….
There was total silence, and then Elizabeth asked the most obvious question;
"What now?"…
The End…and…the Beginning …
One year later…
Jason stared up and into the eyes of his wife. Her eyes were staring down into his with total fear in them; total and complete fear! Both of her hands were wrapped around his neck as she squeezed them tightly against his skin.
"Do it Elizabeth! Do it now!" a man's voice yelled from somewhere close by. "Kill Jason before it is too late; before he regains his full strength!"
The person telling Elizabeth to kill Jason was none other than Robert Scorpio; Jason's mentor and best friend for the past year. But that was before things had changed; before Jason had changed. Before he had become evil!
Elizabeth closed her eyes, not wanting her resolve to weaken; not wanting to watch as she strangled the life out of the man she loved. The man who was her husband…the man who was the father of their child!
"My good friend, Robert, is right," Jason said with a near whisper. "I can feel my strength coming back, Elizabeth." Jason continued to say to Elizabeth, who still had her eyes closed, and with the grip of both her hands around his neck. "You have to kill me...it is the only way."
It was hard to believe it had all come down to this moment. If Elizabeth did not kill Jason now, the hell they all now lived in, for the past three months, would become even worse. Jason would eventually find Jake, their son, and try to kill him! Elizabeth would not let that happen, and so she opened her eyes and began to squeeze Jason's neck even tighter.
"I love you," Elizabeth said as her tears streamed out of her eyes and dripped down onto Jason's face.
Jason smiled back at her and put his hands on her hands as they gripped his neck; and he began to squeeze her hands as well…giving her his added strength so as to kill him; before it was too late! Before they would all know…
