Okay, I'm sorry this took so long to get up. This is the last chapter. But I Promise there is a sequel. I don't know when I'll get it up, cause I'm trying to get farther along in two of my other stories (the shifter being one of them) but my server is being really stupid, and I'm having a ruff time uploading documents, so yeah, on with the story.
Chapter 14 (or ch.12 part 3)
"yes that place. Now when a shifter is up there, there body stays here on earth. It appears to every one else that there in some kind of coma, but all there vital signs are normal."
I Paused a second making sure that I wasn't going too fast. "that is exactly what the doctor just described. So I think Paul's coma might have something to do with the shifting thing. I want to go up there for a minuet, just to look around. I'll be right back, okay."
"wait, I want to go with you." How did I know this would happen?
"we can't both go Jesse. If someone comes in here, and we're both unconscious, it will raise suspicion."
"then let me go." Was he serious?
"umm, Jesse? You don't know how to shift, Remember? Just wait here. if someone comes in tell them I'm sleeping." I closed my eyes and thought of that cold hallway with a foreign night sky as a ceiling. I opened my eyes to see myself in the place I had just thought about. Almost immediately the guard who reminded me of Russell Crow in the Gladiator materialized in front of me.
"you should not be here." he needs to say something else, a simple hello would do.
"you say that every time I come up here."
"and I will continue to say it until it is your time to be up here."
"ok, that's great, now I need to know if a friend came up here. He's tall, has dark hair and blue eyes..." the Russell Crow dude held up his hand.
"I know the one you seek. He was brought here to remember what he has forgotten. He will be back when the he is ready. For now you have to go back."
"for now, I have to find Paul." I said trying to go around the Guard, but he blocked me.
"I told you he is not ready yet. Go back now, or I will force you back." This guy was really intimidating, what with his muscular arms and everything. There was nothing I could do. Even if I did get past him, how would I find Paul? These corridors are endless. It would bee to hard. So I closed my eyes and pictured being back at the hospital. When I opened them again, I found myself lying against Jesse. He had his arm around me and was watching me with a worried look on his face. Immediately, I got the same headache that I always got, post shifting. I noticed lately that it was hurting as much as it did when I first started shifting, but it still hurt really badly.
"did you find out anything?" Jesse asked, as I stayed in my position, finding it rather comfortable in Jesse's arms.
"the Guard up there said that he was brought there to remember what he had forgotten, and that he couldn't come back until he was ready."
"what is that supposed to mean?" I looked up into his eyes, suddenly very worried.
"I don't know Jesse, but the only thing he has really forgotten is his hatred for you." I watched as realization seeped into Jesse's eye's.
"I didn't know when Paul would wake up, but I know that he will, and who knows what he will remember when he does." Jesse pulled me tighter into his hold, and I looked up at him.
"Don't worry about it now, it could be something that has nothing to do with us."
"You're right, I'm just over reacting." He bent down and kissed me.
"we should probably get back to Jack, I don't want him to be alone too long."
We got up and went back to the waiting room to find that Jack was talking with his parents. I took this to my advantage, and decided to go see Paul while his parents were talking to Jack. I walked into Paul's room it was fairly big, about the size of Bryce's room when he was in the hospital after Heather had dropped the crucifix on him. Though it didn't have any flowers in it like Bryce's room had. I walked over and looked down at Paul, his eyelids were twitching, which made it appear as if he was dreaming.
If the Guard in the shadow land was right, then he was sort of dreaming. He was catching up on forgotten memories. I don't know how long I stood there, staring at Paul, wondering what memories had had lost, hoping that it wasn't the ones that included how much he hates Jesse, but soon the nurse came in.
"miss, I'm afraid that visiting hours are over, your going to have to go now." I looked out her, and nodded my head. I walked out side of Paul's room to find Jesse leaning against the wall.
"I'm ready to go now." I said quietly, as Jesse took me back into his arms. At least I had one thing to be thankful about. Jesse was here, and if I didn't have this necklace, he would still be a ghost.

Ok, I'm finally finished with the story. I noticed that some of you thought that Paul was actually dead. Yes!! That was my goal. Ok, now I sort of left you guys hanging, but I promise there will be a sequel, probably not for a while- I'm going to try and finish 'the shifter' first. But I will get it up soon. I hope you all liked it. I made this chapter extra long, instead of dividing it into two like I had normally planned. So watch out for the sequel to this story. Oh, yeah, please review!!
SHOUT OUTS: to all of my reviewers.
gives you all a hug
