Sorry I didn't add more chapters yesterday... life keeps throwing me curveballs. But I am determined to post more chapters today. Thanks for the reviews! They make me feel so warm and fuzzy. Hee hee hee!

Oh! And Sara's words when she is talking about not being able to control when we die, I edited the words a little but I got that from Gum Drops when Sara was talking to Nick. Just thought I would say that...

Commence Chapter 6!


"Why are you giving these to me now?" Catherine asks.

Sara's grip tightened around Catherine's waist

"I'm going to fight in a war. My future is uncertain. I don't want to die and you not knowing how much I love you. I told Greg to give you a letter in a few days, which told you where these were so you could read them and know." Sara said, keeping her eyes glued to the horizon.

"You're not going to die" Catherine said

"We are never certain, Cath. When it's my day to go, it's my day. We can't control it" Sara said her eyes still glued to the horizon.

"You can't die, Sara. You won't die. You need to come back and marry me. Who cares if we can't get married here… we can go to Canada and get married there. You have to come back. Promise me."

Sara sighed, "You know I don't like making promises, unless I know I can keep them. This is one of those times, Cath"

Catherine turned around so she's facing Sara

"Sara. Just promise me, you'll come back. Please?" Catherine kissed Sara "Please?"

The sun was starting to rise and the colors of the sunrise was reflecting on Catherine with her hair lightly blowing in the breeze

"You're so beautiful" Sara whispered and kissed Catherine "Watch the sunrise with me, then I'll tell you my answer afterwards"

Catherine turned back around and sat there with Sara in comfortable silence. Then Catherine heard Sara sniffle and turned to see Sara silently crying

"Baby, what's wrong?" Catherine asked wiping away the tears from Sara's cheeks

"I'm so scared, I don't know if I will be able to kill anybody. I don't want to leave now… I know I have to, but I don't want to. I want to stay like this forever."

"I want to stay like this forever, too. But you know we can't. Hey! When's your flight?!" Catherine suddenly asked

"Don't worry, I haven't missed it. I was going to go a day early and see some friends before I go. But after that phone call with you, I knew you were going to come so I changed the ticket to noon, that way we can have our time together and still see my friends"

"Ok… now are you going to tell me if you are going to promise to come back?"

Sara sighed "That's hard, Catherine. It really is. I'm sorry"

"Can I come to the airport with you, then?" Catherine asked. She wanted to spend as much time with Sara before she left.

"I would love that." Sara replied, "Let's get going then"

Sara got up and offered her hand to Catherine. Then packed the backpack again. Catherine handed the box to Sara

"No, I wanted you to have them. Read them when I'm gone, and if anything happens to me, you'll have those." Sara said

"Stop talking like that. I don't want to think about that" Catherine looked at Sara

"It's something we can't control, Cath" Sara said taking Catherine's hand

Catherine pulls the hand towards her and kissed Sara deeply. When they pulled apart, they both looked deep into each other's eyes and understood exactly one the other was feeling.


Sorry it was so short, but more chapters are coming too! That should cheer you guys up. Hee hee hee!
