Alice woke up to find herself in the arms of Frey. Memories of Kyo's Blood spattering then came to mind. She winced. This pain would never go away. She would always have these memories. The memories of her kissing Kyo, the day he told her he loved her, the day mayura placed the curse, and the battle. Nothing would go away. It would haunt her forever.

Frey woke with Alice sobbing. He tightened his grip.

"Frey...please end my pain. Please..." the tears were falling.

"I can't do anything Alice. It's something no human or lotis master can do."

"Kill me Frey. I want to be with Kyo and Mayura." Alice was shaking again.

"NO ALICE I LOVE YOU!! I WILL NOT BE THE CAUSE OF YOUR DEATH!!" Frey sat her up in his lap. She was still shaking. Her tears were turning black.

"no...those are tears of death if she keeps up the negative thoughts she'll die!"

"Alice think happy thoughts. Stay with me Alice, I will try to help you heal. Please Alice we all know your in pain. Stop crying or you will die!"

"I'll never stop crying Frey. I can't stop, I want to die just leave me to die!" she nearly yelled at him.

"Atleast stop the negative thoughts if the tears keep falling and you die I will not be able to live. We need you Alice. Live for your friends."

He could see the tears start to burn her soft skin.

"ALICE!!" by this time the others along with her parents were in the room.

"Alice honey," her mom was kneeling next to Frey. "Listen to him Alice, we all love you, it is not your fault we lost Mayura. She and Kyo are watching over you from heaven. Don't die on us. You're the only thing we have left."

"No I will die and be with Kyo and Mayura. I have no reason to live. Just LEAVE ME BE!" the tears were streams and the burning didn't stop.

"Stop saying you want to die Alice! You will die if you keep it up. Fight the darkness in your heart Alice. Even if Darva is gone the mara inside all our hearts are not and you must fight them. Alice Please!" Frey was holding her violently shaking body more tightly.

Chris, Mei lin, and Billy listened as Frey and Alice fought. They all believed that Frey would knock sense into her.

Frey had no other option. He kissed her. She stopped again. Whether she could deny it or not he was the medication for her pain. Always.

"Jiva." When Frey said these words her face was repaired.

"I'm sorry...I just couldn't save them...I" Alice started but Frey put a finger to her lips.

"Sshh... it's ok. It's not your fault. There is nothing we can do but live with them in our hearts." Frey hugged her. At that all of the people in the room were in a group hug.

2 hours later (not the hug you doinks)

Alice had slept on the couch with the close watch of Frey. He watched over his "darling," because she was his most precious possession.

She stirred and sat up. He walked up to her and kneeled to her height.

"You better?"

she started to nod but then a tear came to her eye but Frey caught it.

"You don't want to shed a tear for a day or so. If it hurts you can take the anger out on me. Just don't shed a tear. No more tears. Please Alice."

Alice breathed in and gave him a slight nod. "Thank you Frey. You are really being helpful. I just wish I could have said "good-bye" she bent her head and her bangs hung over her face. Her breathing was causing her chest to rise and fall and a steady pace.

"From now on, Frey. I'm going to be strong for Mayura and Kyo. I will live on. I'm sorry I scared you all this morning."

"It's ok Alice. It's understandable. We all love you Alice. And you can always come to me if you need comfort. Your parents have offered for me to live here so I took them up on their offer. I'm in the room next to yours. Come in anytime whether it is at 9 in the morning or 11 at night. Remember my embrace is always open to you."

When he finished he found that Alice had thrown herself around his waist. He returned the hug and smoothed her hair with his hand.

"Remember Alice. I still think you should consider marrying me. But I wont press it on you today. Just yell, scream, complain, rant about your feelings to me anytime."

With that he picked her up bridal style and took her to her room. She still had a death grip on him so he just lay down with her on her bed.
