"Alice...Alice!" The voice was so distant. Alice kept her eyes closed, a smile playing around her mouth. He had found of her as she'd known he would.
"Alice, are you okay? Are you hurt? What are you doing here? What happened up there?" The questions came in a never ending stream as his hands grasped her shoulders and lifted her up. Her eyes opened and she smiled.
"Uncas…" she heard herself sigh. Alice threw her arms around him and pulled him close. She heard him stutter for a moment before becoming silent. A second later his arms hesitantly wrapped around her waist. So gentle. Alice smiled and hugged him tighter.
"He killed you so I came after you," she murmured, the words still sending a spike of pain through her. "I…I couldn't live without you." He stiffened then relaxed, his left hand now stroking her hair.
"You shouldn't have done that," Uncas said, his voice gruff with emotion. "You had your whole life ahead of you; you could've gone back to England…"
"He took away everything when he killed you," Alice said. Then she smiled. "But we're together so nothing else matters." He smiled at her childish logic.
"Yes, we're together," he agreed. Then his smile waned a bit. "It's time to go," he sighed.
"Go where?" Anxiety boiled in the pit of Alice's stomach.
"Somewhere happier," Uncas replied. She gripped his hand tightly.
"Together?" she asked.
"Yes. Forever if you want."
She squeezed his hand and he took that as a yes. "Let's go," he said softly. A soft white light appeared in front of them, just a step away. And, together, they stepped into sweet nothingness.
A/N: Ta da! This is the final chapter of A Broken Remembrance! I'm a bit sad to see this one go. I really enjoyed writing this and reading the reviews. Thanks, guys! Please R&R and maybe I'll upload another story. I've been thinking centering a new story on Cora/Nathaniel. Tell me what you think and if you have any, suggestions are welcome! Gotta run!
