Adam picked up Emma's lifeless hand. "It's all right Emma; I'm here with you. I wouldn't allow anything to happen to you. I ........" He bowed his head. "Oh Emma, I'm so sorry for lying to you. How can I say that I would not allow anything to happen to you, when this horrible thing has happened. And all because of me!"

"I can't believe that Emma is lying there on a cold sterile table dead to the living world." Jesse angrily shook his head, back and forth. "It should be I on the table, not, innocent Emma."
*He's in love with her.* Diana felt her heart drop as she listened to Jesse.
"Now Jesse, how was it that you or anyone else to know that Emma touched you when you and Diana went back into time, to save Adam." Brennan said with a hint of frustration in his voice. He was sick and tired of hearing Jesse blame himself for this tragical accident that had befallen their friend. *It's all Gabriel's fault. Everything that has happened since he escaped, the POD 1 is all Gabriel's fault.*
Shalimar just stared out of the passengers side window, drawing more into herself, since Emma's accident. *Emma, you just have to wake up from this. My life will be so empty without you in it.*
***********************
Deep inside Emma, her fighting spirit was fighting the battle of her life. Not only did she want to wake up, and be with her family. But she needed too, to fight and beat Gabriel, one last time.
*Adam, Brennan, Jesse and Shalimar where are you? I need you with me, help me fight this evil thing that has me in its hold. They can't help me, only I can help myself. Come on Emma, fight, fight like you never have before.*

"Darling Emma, you will soon be dead." Gabriel smirked at the lifeless form of Emma. He shot into her mind eye and taunted her endlessly.
