Chapter X:
Life and Death

On May 30th, two days after the birth of her two little treasures, Killian and Ashley, Andy sat in her dark cell. Her thoughts we only on the sight of Kai's face as he held his son, there was no doubt in either of their mind that they were Tyson's children, none at all. Already the salt blue hair was poking up on his head.

In forty-eight hours, she would be walking to her own doom. She could already envision her mother's tear stricken face, Dan and Chris almost in tears, Kai hugging Kayla as she cried, but the worst thought was Ray. Just the thought of his happy face would make her choke up but the thought of him crying, she couldn't bear. In her right hand she held the locket that Kai had given her years ago, in her left hand she led a broken piece of glass. She couldn't watch he family cry over her doom, she just couldn't.

Closing her eyes she lifted the shard of glass and sliced her throat. Blood began to seep from the cut. Quietly she lay down on her cot. Dropping the glass she took the locket in both hands and held it to her heart. Doing her best not to make any noise, she silently gasped for air. Slowly she fell into a deep slumber, never to wake again.

A week after her death Ray stood on a boat, with the rest of his family, looking out to sea. In his arms, he held his niece, Ashley Andrea Hiwatari. She reminded him so much of his sister, the mischievous chocolate brown eyes, the tan skin, down her ying yang birthmark on her left shoulder blade.

Kai stood about four feet away holding Andy's ashes. Unlike him, Kai couldn't understand why she had taken her life in her own hands. After that he had hardly looked at Ashley, or Killian. Pity consumed him, for his brother-in-law. Sadly Ray stood by his friend and dug into his pocket, bringing out his siter's blade. As Kai duumpe her ashes into the deep blue sea ray droped her blade and wathed the two things slowly folat to the bottem of the sea.

Farther off his mother was in tears. She held her first grandson in her arms. Dan and Chris sat on either side of her, trying to keep her calm. Ray had never seen his Chris so caring before, but that's what happens at times like this. Looking around, he spotted Kayla at the bow.

Once they were far out in sea everyone gathered around Kai. Not a single face was dry now, as they watched Kai empty Andy's ashes into the sea. After everyone else had walked away, Ray continued to stare at the water. Tears continued to run down his cheeks, as his mind played tricks on him and made him think he saw his sister's face.

When they were on dry land once more, Kayla took Killian form his mother. Everyone began to go their separate ways. Kai stayed on the beach and watched the tide come in. As Ray left he saw dangling from Kai's left hand Andy's locket. The sunset was beautiful that day, as if someone was smiling down at them.
