Hi,
This is the last chapter. Hope you'll like the ending.
VisualIDentificationZeta: If you're a big Marguerite and Roxton fan, I'm sure you'll like the last scene. ;)But please, don't jump through the other part.
Have a nice day!

Chapter 8
The white fog, which came shortly after the lightening started to fade and both Marguerite and Charlotte found themselves on the shore of the familiar stream surrounded with wild flowers and plants of the jungle. For a short time they only stared at each other and then they spoke at the same time.
"Do you remember too?"
Then the recognition and the relief hit them and they burst out laughing.
"If only I knew, why was that all?" Asked a still laughing Charlotte.
Before she could answer, Marguerite became ware of a noise. Holding her finger to her lips, she signed to the girl, as she silently stepped to a nearby bush and suddenly reached in, gripped something and pulled it out. The thing she held was part of the skirt of a beautiful silk dress, which belonged to a little girl.
"Who are you?" Asked the heiress.
"Silly question. Haven't you heard about fairies?" She answered giggling.
"Fairies don't exist." Said Charlotte, than unconfidently added. "Or maybe they do?"
"Tell me, did you make this vision or what?" Accused her the heiress, holding up an eyebrow.
"Yes, that was my game" She burst out laughing.
"Game?"
"Yes." She continued laughing, than taking advantage of the opportunity that Marguerite's grip loosened on her; she slipped away, singing merrily. "The game called: Careful what you wish!!!!"
The two women just stared after the disappearing little girl, than they found it more rational to return to the treehouse before darkness begins or they find themselves in another adventure. Of course they agreed that this case will remain their little secret.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, both of them started to their own room to have a nice sleep. Marguerite just dropped her gun belt, and with a big sigh jumped at her bed. She let her eyelids drop down and tried to relax, when someone knocked and opening her eyes she saw Lord John Roxton standing in her doorway. Marguerite sat up, and corrected her toilette as the hunter stepped in and started to speak.
"Look Marguerite, I' just came to tell you… well, I would like you to know, that I'm aware of your capabilities … that you can find yourself out in every situation… and you shoot fantastic… and …" Than realizing that he's bubbling, he looked straight into her eyes and said. "I'm sorry. For my behavior in the morning. Will you forgive me?"
Marguerite looked back with an expressionless face, than nodded, stood and started to go out.
"Where are you going?" Went after her Roxton.
"I'll take a walk." She stated as she turned to him.
"Without a weapon?" He nearly shouted now.
"But you said just a few minutes earlier what a fantastic shooter I am, and that I can protect myself. " She started as she turned again this time to the elevator, but she couldn't take another move because of the hunter's strong hand that pulled her back. She found herself eye to eye with Lord Roxton as he held her in his arms, without the thought of letting her away. She shivered seeing his expression, and her heart nearly jumped out when he lowered his lips to fuse it with hers. This was the Roxton, she was searching for, the one she missed and the one she was hopelessly in love with. After long romantically moments, when the man at last loosened his grip on her, touching his forehead to hers, he whispered.
"If only you wouldn't be so inconceivable, Marguerite."
Marguerite smiled widely with a knowing look shimmering in her eyes.
"Careful what you wish…"
