It's a short chapter and maybe does not make a lot of sense…. Please tell
me whether you like my style or if it's getting boring… I am really not
sure how this story will end…
------
Serena was surrounded by darkness and cold. Snow covered her face and body, made it hard to breathe and impossible to move. A heavy weight pressed on her body and the cold crept through her clothes making her body start to freeze until she couldn't feel it anymore.
Instead of cold she suddenly felt warm and cosy, a bright light replaced the darkness as she opened her eyes. She felt light and had the feeling she was flying towards the source of the light.
"Serena"
She knew this voice, had dreamt of it for years.
"Marco" she whispered as a figure approached her and strong arms encircled her.
Slowly she raised her head as soft hands cupped her cheeks and stroked her face. Marco lowered his head and his lips met hers in a soft yet sensual kiss.
"I have waited so long for you." His voice was soft and full of emotions.
But when he released her lips and looked at her, tears were in his eyes.
"You are not supposed to be here, love. Your time has not yet come, and I am not the one your heart is calling for."
Ashamed Serena looked away, suddenly she felt as if she had betrayed Marco by falling in love with Legolas and in the same time she had kissed him, when her heart was beating just for the elf. 'Oh god, what have I done? I've betrayed both of them.'
"No you have not." Serena had not realized that she had spoken out loud until Marco answered her. "Do you think I am that selfish to expect you to live a lonely life? I have loved you more than I ever thought I could love somebody. But everybody has a path to follow and our paths were not meant to be the same. I do not damn you for loving another, I wish you to be happy.
'Even if it still hurts that I have lost you. But I have finally found peace here.' Marco's thoughts were not angry anymore. During his illness and since he had come here, he had cursed his fate thousand of times, yet he had realized that nothing could change what had happened and he would have to let go.
Once again he held her tight against his body, then released her completely and the light surrounding him grew brighter and brighter.
"You have to go Serena, if you stay here too long, there will be no turning back."
Serena felt torn between the wish to stay in the security of the arms of the one she once loved and her hunger for living.
"There is nothing left for me back there, I've given up any chance to be loved again. Why should I go back?"
"Because as long as you live, there is hope."
Marco looked desperately at the woman he once loved with all his heart. Feeling her despair and her grief he wished he could help her, but he knew that in the end, it was her who had to find the courage and the will to go back to life.
"Go back, Serena! Only if you don't do that, you have given up your last chance."
Serena felt that the darkness claimed her once again and began to struggle against its grip until she heard Marco's voice again.
"Don't fight it, everything is alright!"
Her movements became slower and she let the darkness surround her until it was complete and she was gone.
Marco stood there for a moment and then turned towards the bright light. He had done what he could; the rest was not in his hands.

I actually wanted to make you wait for this chapter, but then I had time to write and nothing better to do…
Hope you've enjoyed it!
