Chapter 10

This action took Ace by surprise. She could have expected many other things but not this. After a couple of seconds Caleb felt no reaction from her, but suddenly Ace clicked and found herself urging for more. They embraced in one passionate kiss and finally let go only to gasp for air.

Caleb took one look at Ace; her eyes were glittering in excitement. Her fingers traced his lips and she smiled.

"Caleb, I…" but she never finished her sentence. He was thrown back into the real world. There he stared at an abandoned barn, he touched his lips, and he had been daydreaming or what? He shook his head; it had felt so real, the sweetness of her lips, he could have been licking honey and he would have never known the difference.

Had it been real? He didn't know, but his thoughts were interrupted by his cell phone ringing.

"Caleb get your ass back to this hospital" demanded Pogue and hung up before Caleb asked any questions. He ran to his car and drove back to the hospital. Had something happened while he had left? Was she alright?

After a couple of minutes of complete distress and unanswered questions Caleb arrived at the hospital. He burst in through the doors.

"What happened? Where is she?"

He felt a hand on his shoulder, it was Pogue's.

"What happened?" asked a really uptight Caleb with a worried look on his face.

"Caleb, the doctors are having a hard time stabilizing. A couple of minutes before you arrived she was talking in her sleep, she said your names a couple of times, you have to go see her. Dude, just please calm down if anything…"

"Shut up Pogue, don't you dare even mention it, she isn't going to die" as he left them all standing there and ran to Ace's room.

Through the glass window he saw doctors and nurses working on her, one of the doctors came out and approached him "Are you Caleb?" he nodded and the doctor continued "She had been mumbling your name a few times now, follow me"

Caleb followed into the room; there she was as beautiful as always.

"Young man, you must mean a lot to her because she has only asked for you" said the doctor trying to give Caleb a little boost.

"Doctor wait, is she any better?"

The doctor sighed and shook his head. Caleb sighed and turned his attention to Ace. He sat on a chair next to her, took her by the hand and said "I'm here baby, I am always going to be here for you"

He kissed her hand and then gently kissed her on the forehead; he took away some strands of hair and just contemplated her.

"Ace, I want you to wake up so I can kiss you in reality, not in a dream not in my mind. I don't want that to be our last kiss, I want it to be the first of the many we will have. I didn't get the chance to tell you I love you" whispered Caleb as he still had her by the hand. In a moment of silence, he felt her hand press against his.

"Ace, wake up" ushered Caleb "Fight for your life, there are people here that love you, I love you, please fight" his eyes were welling tears; he had never felt so helpless in his life. Once again he felt her hand press against his, and then the heart machine started to beep.

He looked around; the doctor he talked earlier came in followed by two nurses. He felt lost in a blur of white lab coats, machines and names of medicines. All he could feel was that he was losing Ace; he felt his soul abandon his body because he saw himself and everything that was happening. He felt so empty, and then he found himself outside with his friends asking him questions. He felt his knees weakened and leaned against a wall and let his body fall. He saw Pogue, Tyler and Reid all there with him, he could see the worried look on his friends and the sympathetic looks Kate and Sarah gave him. He could feel Ace leaving him, his heart was breaking so slowly it was torturing him. He wanted to yell and destroy everything and everyone around him, but he just couldn't be bothered too.

Instead he sat there and closed his eyes, tears fell, and he felt his heart crack and the pieces starting to fall, slowly and gently making it more painful.

He felt and arm around his shoulder and someone trying to comfort him, he could feel the desperation of the doctors at not being able to save her. Time seemed to have stopped, everything moved so slowly he could even see his tears drop one by one as they crashed on the floor making a huge noise. He looked up to see a doctor looking at him, he didn't wear a smile instead he looked grim.

Caleb looked at the man pleadingly, and then the words came out "I am very sorry, we couldn't save her"

Those words hit me like ice blocks; he got up and felt the anger in his veins. He felt the power leave his body; the one person he loved was being taken away and he was not going to let that happen.

Caleb walked to her room followed by Pogue, Tyler and Reid. He took her by the hand and kissed her, his eyes turned black and so did Tyler's, Pogue's and Reid's. The power of all four united into one body, the power needed its source and they were giving her the source she needed to live.

Her wrist glowed, the tattoo seemed to be leaving her skin, and Caleb kept on kissing her, he felt the power travel all around his veins into hers and then he felt her lips go warm and she kissed him back.

He felt the broken pieces in his heart fly back into place as though it had never been broken.

He pulled back a couple of inches, her eyes fluttered and words came out of those honey sweet lips.

"Caleb" she murmured

He nodded and stroked her hair, she opened her eyes and this time she revealed emerald eyes. He stared into them, she was alive. He smiled at her and whispered "I love you", she nodded and blinked and he heard the three words he would have given his life to hear only once.

"I love you"

He kissed her gently on the forehead and turned around to meet his three friends. They were smiling, to heir astonishment he hugged them and said "God what the hell would I do without you guys?"

"Well now you know, never underestimate teamwork" said Reid with a smile.

Ace looked at the four men standing in front of her, she felt renewed. She looked down at her wrist and instead of the cross and the letter there was a big C. She let out a small laugh and closed her eyes.

Pogue, Reid and Tyler walked up to her, "Ace?" they asked in unison and she opened her eyes only to reveal her bright emerald eyes.

"Wow, damn they are impressive" said Pogue

"Are they part of the new package of coming back from the dead?" asked Reid as he stared at her eyes. She looked confused.

"What?" as she asked as Caleb handed her a mirror, she looked into it and stared in disbelief at her green eyes.

"Oh my god" she murmured

"Well I suppose, the black eyes were sign of the power in you, dunno" said Tyler as he shrugged.

"You still look beautiful, maybe even more" whispered Caleb as the doctors and nurses burst in with confused looks on their faces.

"What happened? Why is she awake?She is aliv! This is a miracle! Oh my God" were the phrases heard.

Caleb looked around and approached Ace before being kicked out of the room by one of the nurses and whispered "You are the miracle" as out the door he went.

She smiled at him, for a couple of seconds when she had died she had seen her father. He had spoken to her; she remembered clearly what he said.

"Don't be afraid to live" she murmured

She smiled, she wasn't going to be afraid to live and let emotions and impulses take over thoughts.
