A/N: Please comment and review. Love ya! I will try to update as soon as I can.
Dante's house: 2 days later:
Zhalia and Dante stand outside the front of their house. A huge giant hole stays as the entrance into the house. Zhalia glances over at Dante and sees a tear in his eye. He hasn't shown his feelings in a few days. Sophie and the boys are still hunting down Lok. They haven't found any way to track the Organization. Dante and Zhalia are really worried that they might have to go and enter the mission. But first they have something else that is very important to Zhalia at that moment in time. The two of them, Dante and Zhalia, are planning to go to Emma's tomb to see for theirselves what is happening to the tomb.
Zhalia places her hand on Dante's shoulder as he turns to face her. While Dante was sleeping yesterday, she watched the video that was being taped while Emma was there for a short time. She watched Emma slam her hands on the walls, Dante ran to get her to calm down. The thing was she saw what others didn't. She saw the tears falling down Dante's face as he held onto Emma.
"Zhalia..." Dante's voice comes out of his mouth. "Are you really alright?"
Zhalia nods her head towards him but the truth is that she really isn't sure if she is or not. She was held captive for she has no idea how long. She just looks at Dante with pain in her eyes that Dante could see. He wraps his arms around her and kisses her forehead.
He looks at her after letting her go from his arms and replies, "Don't ever leave me again. I don't ever want to loose you again."
Zhalia lays her head on his shoulder and lets her tears come down her eyes now. "I never want too ever again. I never want to have that feeling ever again."
Dante kisses her forehead and wraps his arm around her while holding her close to his chest. They stand there at the opening of the house before the helicopter comes to pick them up. Metz walks down from the helicopter and looks at the two with a slight smile.
"It is time to go!" He yells to the two from a far.
They turn and glance at Metz before heading to the helicopter. They jump in as it starts to lift off. Metz stays behind to watch over Headquarters and to keep in touch with Sophie and her team. Zhalia places a hand on the glass and watches Metz start to cry. She sees the tears going down his eyes like he knows something that he hasn't told her.
She looks at Dante and lays back into the seat. She remembers everything of what happened to her after the kidnapping. She hasn't told Dante or Metz anything. She hasn't told anyone. They don't know anything of what happened because the magic Emma used healed every wound, and Zhalia knows that every wound is gone because she can't find any of them that James had inflicted on her. Dante places his hand on Zhalia's and doesn't let go of it the whole ride to South America for fear of losing her.
Yesterday: Huntik Headquarters:
Dante lays past out in one of the hospital chairs. Zhalia wakes up from a terrible nightmare that she was back with James. She shakes her head as she glances around the room to see Metz standing there.
"Come with me Zhalia." Metz waves her to follow him, leaving Dante to sleep in the chair.
Zhalia slowly gets up from the bed to follow Metz to where ever he was taking her. She walks across the cold floor barefoot but embraced the coldness under her feet. She remembers Emma and her playing in the snow barefoot, not afraid of anything that might have came of that. Soon Metz enters a room where all the controls are. Zhalia glances at a screen where they have paused just for her. She stares at the person running in with tears in her eyes.
"Emma..." Zhalia whispers as Metz points to the chair in front of the screen.
"I thought that you might want to see her again." Metz answers her with a slight smile. "We will leave you alone."
He moves all the workers out of the control room as Zhalia takes a seat at the computer ready for her to watch what all happened the day before where she died in Dante's arms in front of his house.
Zhalia slowly lifts her hand to the mouse before clicking play on the screen. It starts out with Emma screaming and that is where Zhalia stops it on her face. Emma's face. Her tears running down her face in fear and pain.
"You really were here." Zhalia whispers to herself as she clicks the mouse again.
Zhalia glances at Dante's confused face. He and the boys watch Emma enter the room where she lays died on the table.
"Emma?" Dante speaks with confusion in his voice. "How?"
Emma stares at her sister and lays her hand on her cold check. "Zhalia!" Emma screams in terror. "No!"
Zhalia starts to feel tears fall down her cheeks. She places her hand on the cold tears that continue to fall down her eyes with all her emotions showing now towards her sister.
Dante runs to her and holds her back as she screams on the top of her lungs in Dante's arms. She tugs against him with all of her strength shouting at her sister to wake up.
"Wake up sis! Wake up!" Emma cries to her sister with tears falling down her face. "Wake up!"
Den and Harrison come in and hold onto Emma. They hold her tightly in their arms as she screams for Zhalia to wake up with all of her might. Emma begs for her sister to wake up. She wants her to smile and laugh again with her. Emma wants to tell Zhalia about the other side.
"Emma!" Dante tries to calm her down. "It's okay." He whispers in her ears. "It is okay."
"NO!" Emma shakes her head at Dante. "She can't be gone! She is my sister!"
Zhalia stops the video and stares at Dante and Emma. She watches this scene again and spots them. The tears falling down Dante's eyes, landing on Emma as she screams for her to wake up again. She glances at his hands holding her necklace, Zhalia's, in his hands against Emma's chest. He closes his eyes whispering into Emma's ears. He is trying to convince himself as well that she, Zhalia, was dead at that time. Metz stares at the necklace that Dante's holds and nods his head.
"I see what you are trying to do my dear friend." Zhalia listens to Metz whisper this to Dante without him hearing it. "You are trying to get her to help you get over Zhalia's lost together as one."
Zhalia continues to let her tears fall down from her eyes. She watches her sister fall to the ground as Dante tries to get his breathing back to normal as he stares at Zhalia, trying to get his emotions in check. All of them slowly start to leave the room, leaving Emma alone with Zhalia. She watches her sister get up and place her hand on Zhalia's, her, chest at that moment.
Zhalia knows what happened next so she takes the mouse and stops the screen from going any further. She places her hand on the screen, pretending that Emma is still with her at this moment. She hears the door open as she turns her head to see Metz walking into the room. Zhalia gets out of the chair quickly before running to Metz for comfort. Her tears stream down her red cheeks as Metz holds onto Zhalia as tight as he can.
"She saved me!" Zhalia cries out to him. "She saved me and I gave up on her!"
Metz lays his head on hers and tries to comfort her. "I know Zhalia. I know."
"I tried to forget about her!" Zhalia breaks down right there in front of Metz.
Dante stands there behind him and watches Zhalia, screaming in pain for forgetting her sister. She believes that she betrayed her, but Metz soon gave Zhalia to Dante as they sit there in the control. Zhalia cries on Dante's chest as Dante lays his hand on her head. He doesn't say a word, but he stays completely silent as they sit there. He has no idea what she is crying for. He has no idea what she just watched in the control room. He kisses her head and lays his head on hers. Zhalia continues to cry as she remembers everything that she just watched, happened, and even seeing her sister. All her emotions take control of her without holding back. Dante just waits in the room, allowing Zhalia to cry herself to sleep in the end after 3 hours. As Zhalia falls asleep, Dante starts to feel his emotions trying to break through the barrier that he has tried not to break down. He kisses her head again as tears start to fall down his eyes, making the same sound of a sad song just like Emma's tears when they thought Zhalia was dead.
"I will always love you Zhalia Moon. Always." Dante whispers as they both lay there asleep in the control room.
