A/N: Here is the new chapter! I am soooo sorry that it took me that long to upload this chapter! I didn't have a connection to the internet so it wasn't possible. Sorry again! As I said, the idea is from Kim. Only the writing is mine. The people are Stephenie Meyer's. Except from Alex, Renee, Jamie's wife and Sunlight Sparkling Through Water Drops.
Chapter 4 – Alex' POV
When I woke up, I couldn't move. I saw the world around me, but I couldn't control it. I heard my voice, but I didn't say anything. Then I realized it: There was a soul inside me.
At the same time, I started to build up walls to protect Renee and my family. I imagined the biggest walls I could and built them around my mind.
Then something else caught my attention: The soul inside me was handed a mirror to see its new face; I saw the silver reflection in my eyes.
"No!" I shouted inside my head, shocked that it was really true.
Renee's POV
I was alone when I woke up. Alex was gone. The bed was already cold at his side.
"Mom, Alex is gone. Have you seen him?" "No, I haven't. Let's check outside."
We looked after him, but all we found was one of his shoes. I started to cry. "No! Mom, he's gone! They took him! No!" I sobbed and she took me back to the room.
Two days later we were back in the caves. They all seemed to live their lives on, without thinking about the loss we had. But I couldn't. Every night, I slept in one of his shirts. I laid in my bed the whole day, thinking about the intimacy we shared. It wasn't his time to go. He was only sixteen. I missed him so much, but what disturbed me the most was that our memories belonged to a soul now. "No! NO! I can't do that anymore!" I sobbed and cried again.
Alex' POV
The soul was called Sunlight Sparkling Through Water Drops and had lived in two planets: the flower-planet and the dolphin-planet. Maybe I could just make him go to the desert for a hike or something. He just had to go to the desert. They would be able to remove him and he would be able to live happily ever after with Renee. He missed her. And he loved her more than his life. He whispered in Sunlight's thoughts "This body needs sports. Maybe I should go on a hike or something like that…"
And really: Sunlight went on a hike. I was very excited and showed him good routes some weeks later it was the time: I showed him the way in direction of the caves. Sunlight packed a bag and started to hike nearby the place, Wanda started so many years ago.
We walked the whole day and then we slept early. In the morning, I woke him up and we hiked farther. This went on for two and a half days. Then we reached the caves' entrance. Sunlight started to wonder about where we were when Ian and Kyle came out of the caves. They recognized the silver sparkle in my eyes, so they just asked him politely to follow them. We went straight to Doc's office. There they gave Sunlight something to drink and suddenly we fell asleep.
When I woke up, I could move my hands and controlled my body again. That felt very good. I opened my eyes and saw my parents standing next to the crop, I lay on. Mom hugged me and dad patted my shoulder, tears in their eyes. But all I could think of was Renee.
"Renee. I need to see her."
I jumped up and ran to her room. There she was, asleep, curled up in a shirt of mine. I smiled and lay down next, hugging and kissing her again and again. Her eyes fluttered open and looked at me full of confusion.
Renee's POV
My eyes fluttered open and I saw his face. Alex. This had to be a dream, but it was a dream, I would never want to stop dreaming. He was there. Alive. With his beautiful brown chocolate-eyes. They were still like melted chocolate. I hugged him and mumbled "this is the best dream I have ever had! I don't ever want to wake up again!"
"Sweetheart, this isn't a dream. I am alive and I won't ever leave you again. I promise!"
I looked up at him and pinched my arm. He didn't disappear. That was really true. A big smile appeared on my face and I kissed him. Tears of happiness rushed down my face. After three long months, he did return. Now we could live happily ever after.
A/N: Hey guys, I am really sorry for making you wait and wait and wait, but I just have a MASSIVE writer's block on this story, I am not even into the fandom anymore. So I decided to just leave them be and delete the last sentence.
Thank you for the positive reviews and for favoriting this story, it made me very happy.
XOXO Sarah
