It took the doctor what seemed hours to reach them.

"How is she?" They asked in unison when he was within earshot.

"She hit her head pretty hard, it's a miracle she didn't crack it open," he told them, "but she should be fine."

Tora breathed a sigh of relief, "Can we see her, uh...um...Doctor," he searched for the doctor's name tag, "Doctor Hintashi?"

"Probably not tonight," he looked at the disappointed boys in front of him, "she is asleep, and it would be best not to wake her. Plus you two look like you could use some sleep."

"Okay," they grumbled.

That Night...

"Tora. Tora. Tora," he could hear her calling out his name sweetly.

"Ella? Ella, is that you? Where are you?" He asked anxiously.

"I'm right in front of you, Igarashi," she answered, "can't you see me?" He checked his surrounding again, but there was no sign of Ariella.

"Come on, El. Come out so I can see you."

"I am standing right in front of you," she repeated, "I can't come any closer!" Her shakey voice sounded as if she was in his ear.

"But I can't see you!" He shouted. She didn't reply. tora stood there in silence in the pitch black night.

A shriek broke the lonely silence. A shriek that Tora instantly recognized as Ariella's.

"Ariella! Ella! Ari! El!" He shouted in panic. He yelled all the nicknames he could think of fear creeping into his voice.

"Tora," she said, "why didn't you save me?"

"Huh?" He asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Why did you just leave me there? Why didn't you catch me? Why didn't you look back? Did you even think twice? Do you regret it? Why didn't you save me, Tora? Why?"

Her questions finally registered, "I...uh..um..." he trailed off.

"Tora! Why didn't you save me? Why, Tora? Why are making me be with someone I don't love?"

"I thought it was what was best for you! I didn't know you were falling! I thought you could handle it! I'm sorry, I am so sorry!" His thoughts were racing. Tears were running down his cheeks. He fell to his knees in defeat, "I am sorry. I am so so sorry. Please forgive me. Ella please forgive me. I-I love you."

He looked up, expecting to see her sparkling emerald eyes, but there was no sign of her. She had vanished into the foggy air.

A sort of anger consumed Tora,"No! No! NO!" He screamed. He continued to scream, and time seemed to freeze. His voice was becoming hoarse, and he could hardly speak. He could feel his heart pounding, but he could feel something else. He felt as if, as if he was being shaken. He squeezed his eyes shut and opened them again. Could it have all been a dream?

Travis...

"Thank God she is alright," he muttered to himself. He didn't know what he would do without her. His mood suddenly changed as he remembered Tora. "I could have lost her for good today. And now I finally have her back, but I could lose her again to him," he slammed his fist against the bedroom door. "We were supposed to get married in a year, but now?"

"Travis, are you okay?" His mother, Carolyn, asked.

"Yes, Mother, I am fine."

"How's Ari?"

"The doctor said she should be fine. I am going in the morning to check on her."

"That's nice, Travie. Tell me how she is." With that she was off.

"Yeah, I just hope he isn't there," he muttered to himself before going over to his bed. He fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
