Last Breath Chapter 4: Sweet Dreams





As he slowly regained consciousness he realized that he was lying on something soft. He slowly opened his eyes. It hurt so much; he began to sit- up but a wave of dizziness made him lye back down. He heard Malone yell for Challenger. When Challenger came in he said:

"Roxton, old boy, you gave a scared there, we weren't sure what happened to you. We found you conscious abut six miles away from the tree house can you tell us what happened?"

"I.I saw her she was alive, she talked to me, I couldn't understand what she was saying but she was alive, we have to save her."

"Who Roxton, Who's alive?"

"Marguerite, I saw her."

"Marguerite is dead Roxton, I'm so sorry; she died when Appleton tried to kill you. I'm so sorry John. You need to get your rest. Just lye back down and rest."

Challenger put his hands on Roxton's shoulders and tried to push him back on the bed but he kept on yelling that Marguerite was still alive and that they had to save her. Finally, after Challenger and Malone held home down and Veronica poured a sleeping drought down his throat, did Roxton finally fall asleep.

When he opened his eyes he was in a very strange place all of the walls where white and the almost looked like clouds. Then to his right he saw a figure walking towards him. He turned to face it. As it got closer he realized that it was Marguerite. He tried to run to her but his feet where glued to the ground. They wouldn't budge n inch. Marguerite walked right up to him so that they where almost nose to nose. She was still wearing the white dress and her hair still flowed behind her. A first when she started to speak Roxton couldn't understand her but eventually he was able to make out what she was saying.

".This is the last time I can come to see you, you must save me. I am trapped in another dimension, I don't think I'm dead yet. If you fallow the sun two days you will find a cave, I'm inside the cave, I know you will have to do through several trails but I'm not sure what they'll be, please hurry. I don't have much time. I can feel myself fading away. Please Roxton save me, I love you, please hurry."

She slowly began to fade away. Roxton tried desperately to grab her but he was unable to move his hand.

"Marguerite please don't leave me. Noooooooooo."

Hw woke up with a start. He looked around; he was back in his room at the tree house, from what he could tell it was around one or two in the morning. He saw Malone sleeping in a chair beside his bed. Slow, so as not to wake Ned up, he crawled out of bed and began to collect some supplies he would need. He knew what he had to do. A half hour he was ready and descending the elevator. On the table was a note that read.

Gone to save Marguerite, do not fallow me, I'll be alright. I'll be home in a week, with Marguerite by my side. Please don't worry about me. Sincerely, JR
