Now that I've stopped crying over the last chapter, we can move on. Enjoy!!!!
Chapter 8
Miracles Happen
Elizabeth lay in Takuya's arms with Anna and Yugi looking on, only able to watch as Elizabeth slowly died in her lover's arms. Three sets of tears, one from each person flowed to the barren earth.
Once the tears hit the earth, something began to happen. Elizabeth's body no longer grew cold. In fact, it almost became…warm. Her failing heart fluttered back to a normal, steady beat. Anna looked at Elizabeth and noticed her pale face regaining its normal color.
"W-what's happening to Elizabeth?" Anna asked. Takuya and Yugi took a second look at Elizabeth and realized that she was no longer dying. Takuya released another layer of tears.
"I-I can't believe it. She…she's coming back," Takuya mustered through his own shock. Anna and Yugi were both relieved and shocked. How did this happen?
However, this wasn't the time to ask questions. Before they knew it, to figures were racing to where the four people were sitting, sirens not to far away from the scene.
"I think the bodies need to be moved before the police start asking questions," Yugi commented. Anna helped Yugi move the bodies while Takuya held onto Elizabeth as her body mended itself.
"I'm glad that you're back with us," Takuya whispered to Elizabeth. He brushed away a few loose strands of hair and lightly kissed Elizabeth on her warm lips. Takuya could almost feel Elizabeth blushing under his face. He reluctantly pulled his lips away from hers.
"Welcome back," Takuya breathed. Even though she was unconscious, Elizabeth gave a small smile in return. Takuya prepared his story as the two figures lingered over his back, shock spreading over their faces.
Elizabeth was plunged in darkness. She wondered if this was really what death was like. Elizabeth could make out the sounds of tears millions of miles away. Suddenly, a small point of light pierced through the darkness and almost blinding Elizabeth.
"My daughter," a calm voice called through the vast space between Elizabeth and the newfound light.
"Who calls for me?" Elizabeth asked her voice surprisingly strong. Her body even seemed stronger than before.
"It is…your mother. You're friends are begging for you. Can you hear them?" Elizabeth's mother asked in response. Elizabeth listened for a moment, trying to hear what her mother heard.
"Elizabeth."
"Elizabeth."
"My lover, come back!"
Elizabeth heard the crying voices now. Her friends and love wanted her back in their lives. Elizabeth's mother smiled, as if in agreement.
"Go to them, my daughter," her mother requested.
"What about you? Will I ever see you again?" Elizabeth asked louder as she faded back to the world she knew.
"We will meet again. That is a promise," Elizabeth's mother replied. Elizabeth smiled and allowed herself to return to her friends and those who cared so much about her enough to give everything for her.
Elizabeth entered the light willingly and felt herself enter the world where her friends were waiting for her return to them.
