I opened my eyes and looked around me. It was quiet and peaceful and I was on that deck at the beach a week before I left. It was dark out and the stars were shinning brightly. The warm air hit my face and the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the dock filled my ears. I was alone in the hammock staring at the stars and watching as every now and then a shooting star would fly by.

I simply lied there day after day and watched the stars. The sun never rose and the moon never fell. I never aged and I never hungered. I would watch the stars and night after night I would hear the sound of music playing and the smell of the ocean.

But I was utterly alone. No one was here but me. I longed to see people again. My heart ached to see Dom, Eames, Ariadne, and Arthur. Especially Arthur. I missed his touch, his smell, the look in his eyes. I missed my brother as well. I had only just found him again after all these years and now… I'm alone. All because I decide to save the man who made my life hell…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Arthur pov~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up under water and took a huge breath out of the tank of air we brought. I gave it to Ariadne and then I looked at Cobb and noticed he was still asleep. I tried to wake him but it didn't work. I looked at Saito who was also still out. But then my eyes widened when I saw that Sherri was also not awake yet. I began to yank on her seat belt and my lungs began to burn. I felt Yusuf pull me back away from the sinking car.

"No!" He pulled me to the surface and I let out a gasp for breath. I went to dive back in but Yusuf pulled me back. I turned to Ariadne,

"What happened?" I felt my eyes sting with tears and water. She looked at the ground then back to me.

"She… she fell into limbo. Cobb went after her and Saito. Tears were starting to stream down my cheeks.

"Oh God….why…why!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dom pov~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had already encountered Saito and made him go back to reality. Now I had to get Sherri. She wouldn't be so easy to get away. I walked down the pier and took in my surroundings. I had been walking for hours and it was still night. I also noticed that it was all beach. Nothing else but sand and waves and in the distance a little shack that I knew all too well. It was where Mal, Arthur, Sherri, and I stayed when we went our trip to the beach in France. Eames couldn't come because he had business to attend to so Sherri roomed with Arthur.

Mal and I knew that they had a crush on each other but neither would tell the other. So we kept leaving the two of them alone and Mal actually suggested that they room together. Each day we would leave them alone and in the end they ended up going off by themselves. At first not much was happening. But then they began to sit closer to each other. Then they started to hold hands when walking. They would lie in the hammock on the pouch at night together and look at the stars.

So naturally this would be her limbo. The place where she would be in. I finally approached the house and walked up the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sherri pov~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard the sound of steps on the wood deck and didn't even bother tearing my eyes away from the stars until I saw the face that was illuminated by the candles.

"Dom…" I scooted over and he lied down on the hammock beside me. I rested my head on his chest and his arm was wrapped around my shoulders.

"Oh Sherri…" It was quiet between us for the longest time. We simply sat in silence and I had a new sound to listen to… the sound of a heart beating. Something that I hadn't heard for a long time. "You have to come back…" His voice was but a whisper, "This isn't where you belong. You have to come back…"

"Dom… I don't know if I can… What if… what if I loose you guys again…I can't take that pain. Not again." Our voices were soft and whispers wee all that escaped our lips.

"You can never know what's going to happen, but running won't help. Sherri, think about how Eames and Arthur will feel? You're his sister Sher. Eames will be heartbroken to loose his sister again. And Arthur… the man is madly in love with you. He would fight all of hell to get you back. Sherri… I need you to come back. I need someone to share my grief with as well… Sherri, Mal's gone. I had to let her go. After all this time I had to finally let her go. Sherri… you need to let go. Come back…come back…" I shut my eyes and took a deep breath.
