Chapter Seventeen: When Dreaming Ends

"You never would understand!" he began. "I loved you deeply."

"I would understand if you would tell me!" I shouted at him.

He raised his hand quickly bringing me up into the air. I felt the wind touch my soft skin. And then a feeling of release set through me. I came careening down and landed hard against the dirty. Dust flew above my body as a tried to sit up from the ground. But a pain gathered around my body. I was flipped over by a force, onto my back. Staring up at the sky I could only see the moon. A bright light flew past the sky. I knew what it was silently I made a wish. But then Handir standing over me clouded my eyes.

"I loved you, more than you could ever know. I knew it was time. Time for us to die." He angrily said.

"Why?' I coughed out, finding it hard to speak.

"Because, if we are meant for one another, we are to die and be reborn alongside each other."

"So, you want to kill me, then kill yourself.. so that we can be together?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Then why did you try to kill me all those years ago, if we were together?"

"Because, I knew you were going to leave me. I could see it in your eyes." He frustratingly replied.

I could hear the harsh tone in his voice. He was serious. And I couldn't get out of it. It felt as if I were glued to the spot I laid in.

"But, I had not ever planned on leaving you until you tried to kill me!" I shouted.

"Yes, but I understood that no matter what I could do for you, you would always want someone better than me."

"That is not true!"

"Do not lie! You know you only stayed with me to make your father happier, to make him proud of you." He stated.

"My father, He has nothing to do with whom I chose to be seeing." I quickly said.

"I am tired of your lies, you are going to die! And it is going to be now." He said.

I closed my eyes quickly and reopened them. Handir stood above me with a knife in his hands holding it high above his head. I could see the glimmer of the blade from the moon. I recognized it immediately, it was the one he tried to kill me with before.

"NO!" I loudly shouted.

I knew it was to late. I was frozen on the ground waiting for a brief pain. A lung into the dark, a quick stabbing. I closed my eyes tightly waiting for it, waiting for death. And then it came to me. The sharp jagged knife ripped through my chest quickly. I felt an immediate pain. I opened my eyes to a darkened sky, all I could see was a blurry image. Handir was over me sitting near my head, rocking my nearly lifeless corpse. I could feel life slowly leaving me, getting further and further away from the reality that was.

And then I felt heaviness. A body lay over me, and I could not move, could barely breath. Then it was gone, no weight was over me. My eyes fluttered slightly at the body figure so close to my eyes. Lemron coddled my body close to his chest. But soon, I could not feel him I could not breath. I could only view darkness creeping into my eyes and mind. I died there.

~*~

A quick rush of panic flew over me. I flew up from the ground gripping my chest. I took in several deep breaths. It was then that I noticed where I was. The room was silent. Al light flooded the room. Everything was the same, I remembered. I stared around not understanding.

"Hello?" I said quickly.

I rolled around when I heard a peculiar sound. There in her bed was Belle. She was lying in her bed sleeping roughly. I could hear her moans of anguish. I rushed up over to her bed and quickly woke her from her dream. Her eyes opened suddenly.

"What happened." She quickly asked with tear filled eyes. "Are you all right?"

"I, don't know. We're, we are home." I said in a saddened tone.

"Was it even real?" She asked.

"I, I don't know if anything is real anymore." I told her. "All I know is, is that we are home, and that is where we were before this all happened."

"Do you think it was real?" She questioned me.

"I think, we made a wish, and it came true." I explained.

She sat up from her bed. We were both wearing what we had the night before we had gone into Mirkwood. We both quickly dressed and ran out of the house, got into the Jeep Grand Cherokee and we went down to the local precinct. I remembered that I had an appointment with the sheriff. Belle and I walked into the front office and walked up to the secretary.

"Is the sherrif in?" I asked her sweetly.

"Yes, One moment, what is your name?"

"Gala- I mean Gabby, Gabriel Stover." I told her.

"Oh miss, he is already waiting for you." She explained.

I slightly smiled. The woman pointed down the hall towards an open door. There on the glass in the door read Sheriff John Coheir. I walked in and there was a light haired kind looking man sitting down in a leather chair. And another man was standing beside the desk near the man in the chair.

"Miss Stover?" The man in the chair questioned.

I couldn't move. My eyes were glued on the man before me. I recognized him some how. And then I realized. The man who I assumed as the Sheriff was remarkably similar to Lemron. I smiled slightly. He waved me over to a chair near his desk. I looked up at Belle and she was gazing at the man that stood next to the desk. He resembled Legolas. I laughed to my self and turned my attention to the sheriff.

"So, You know we haven't found your boyfriend Steve yet right?" he asked.

"Yes I know." I said and his name brought back a few bad memories.

"We are trying our best to catch him, but we have yet to receive any leads." He began. "Do you have a safe place to stay?" He asked.

I turned to Belle. But she shook her head, we both knew her mother would not tolerate us another second.

"Not as of yet." I said with a defeated tone.

"Well, I know we're not supposed to do this, but I have a nice place a few blocks away you and your friend could stay a few nights until you find a more suitable place."

"You really don't have to do that!" I said quickly.

"You look trust worthy enough." He said with a laugh. "And it just so happens me and my buddy here Scott are going to hang out tonight. So you will be well protected."

I gave a sheepish smile and gave a nod in agreement. He smiled at me and I smiled back. There was a moment of silence and everyone was just staring at each other.

~*~ Years Later ~*~

"I do." I said.

Everyone gave a sigh for happiness. I smiled at John and he smiled back.

"You may kiss the bride." A man in a white suit said.

We leaned into one another and romantically kissed. Oddly enough through the years of living with John I learned he as very similar to Lemron, and that is why I think I fell in love with the man. We walked down the isle again this time holding hands running past the screaming guests, shouting happy sayings of joy.

I was married to the one man I ever loved before I ever met him. Dreams come true. I guess that is the same with wishes. Both Belle and I were far away from the one place we wished away from. And we all lived happy and joyful lives, being one together friends and family for the rest of our days.

A/N: CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! It's the climatic ending of the story! Everyone be happy now! I was going to kill her hehe! I was going to have Steve come back and kill her at her wedding, But I figured, eh I put you all through enough! I really hoped you enjoyed this story! And thanks for all the encouraging reviews!
