Chapter 55
She stood on the edge of the field and looked down at the kingdom below her. She had been in these hills before, but never before had she seen such beauty. She fell lost, but in a good way. She was enjoying the slight breeze. She could remember days like this when she was little, but nothing like this as she got older. These were her homelands. This was her legacy and something that she could never have. This was Remy's. She gave up the rights to anything when she took on the darkness herself and became the Dark One. She would never deny that fact. She would never want anything else. She had done everything to protect Remy, herself.
"Beautiful land, isn't it?"
"It is."
"I thought you wanted to go home."
"I do, but I just wanted to look at it for a while."
Blue regarded her. From the memories she'd regained, Coraline was different. She was more reserved. She played things closer to her chest and she didn't show emotion as well. She was guarded and she had every reason to be that way. She had a rough a bringing losing both of her parents and her entire family in one day. She was raise by a family friend and taught to deny her true potential and her true identity. She became something else. She became a warrior and a defender, something she'd been destined for anyway, but it was different. She was the Survivor of legend and long forgotten prophecies. She'd fought off the Black Queen and survived sixty days of straight torture before enacting a spell that no one had ever tried. She'd opened a portal to the past and she planned on changing her fate. And, in the end, she had. She had changed so much and she'd become the Dark One in order to give her young self a better life and a better chance at happiness.
"You want to see your young self, don't you?"
"No, it would only confuse her. She doesn't need to know that we are the same person. I am not from this time line, this realm. I am from nowhere and I don't claim to be, either. I have only used the tattooed crest on my arm in warning and to be left alone. Being the daughter of the Evil Queen and the Saviour has its benefits. I used that to my advantage. Evil, maybe, but I was trying to survive and not give in completely to the darkness that is now my curse," Coraline replied, shifting uneasily.
"You are going to have to explain that better to me one day. It isn't every day that someone of your magnitude finds peace with the darkness and tames the powers of the Dark One. But today, we are going to see your family. What name shall I give you?"
"I am Coraline Danielle French. What other name would you have me give? I cannot be something I am not," Coraline told her.
"I cannot introduce you as a French. It would arouse too many suspicions. I can introduce as Coraline or even Danielle, but not as a French," Blue explained.
"Then don't."
Blue watched her as she walked around the top of the hill until she found the roan horse that had been eating grass while Coraline overlooked the castle below. She quickly and deftly mounted the horse for the side. It reminded her of the warriors from a far. As Coraline found her seat on the mount. Blue saw her regal blood begin to show. She sat on that horse like she was commanding legions to fight for her. Instead, she was going to meet her mothers.
"I will say that you are a Vulcannonian."
"Why?" Coraline asked, immediately turning to face the head fairy.
"I have to give them something. I can't just tell Regina that you are her daughter. I also can't just say that you are the Dark One. Do you have any idea what that will do?"
"They'll think that you are in league with me to usurp her," Coraline stated.
"Exactly."
"We wouldn't want that, now would we?" Coraline asked sarcastically.
"That's your reply. Seriously? Coraline, grow up. This isn't a game," Blue admonished her.
"I know that better than anyone. Trust me. This is bliss compared to the Seven Hells and other places that I have been to," Coraline waved her hand dismissively as she spoke. "Do what you have to do as long as I get to see them and I know that they are happy. I will be fine."
Coraline didn't wait for her to respond. She moved away from Blue on her horse to the overlook. She still didn't make a move to go down to the castle. She just sat on her horse and stared clown. Blue could hear the wishes that she was making. She was doing her best, but she wasn't sure that it was going to be enough for Coraline. She definitely had Regina's passion, but she had Emma drive and tact. It was a strange combination, but it worked for her and her personality.
Coraline rode up to the edge and stopped. She closed her eyes as the breeze blew through her hair. She turned her nose up in the air slightly and smiled. She smelled home. No matter where she was or where her parents would be, the White Castle would be her home. It was the first place she knew and it was the place she lost everything too. It was bittersweet.
"We'll figure something out, Coraline."
"I don't know what to say to them," she mused.
"You'll know what to say once we are alone, Little One."
Coraline just nodded. She looked down the hill again. The breeze blew again and she fell energized enough to talk to her estranged family. She sighed and turned to face Blue.
"They know we're coming, right?" Coraline asked her.
"They do, why?"
"Red is outside staring up at us."
"She is? Can you see anyone else with her?" Blue asked as she mounted and rode closer to her.
"Yes, a small girl…" Coraline replied as her voice broke in the end.
"That is probably you," Blue told her with a smile.
Coraline whipped her head around and looked back down at the girl. She was young, maybe a little older than a toddler, but at least four winters old. Her blond hair was bellowing in the slight breeze of the afternoon. Suddenly, she saw Red turn up and stare at her again. She knew that their eyes met. She wondered if Red could smell her from that far. She smiled at the Wolf.
She reached into her pouch and pulled out a small pill bottle. Blue looked at it and recognized it as one of her own, something that had gone missing in Storybrooke. Coraline quickly took one of the pills and put the bottle back into her pouch.
"What was that?" Blue asked her, wondering what the pills were for and where she'd gotten them.
"Just a concoction that an old friend of mine made to help me stay hidden in plain sight."
"I gave you that, didn't I?"
"You did," Coraline told.
"Can I ask why?"
"You can."
"Will you tell me?" Blue asked.
"It was a way to mask my smell to Red. She made me before I knew what to do. She told Emma that I smelled like Henry. I freaked out and used magic. I ran to you for help and you made me those to help cover my scent. Red can't smell and identify me as Swan-Mills."
"So, you took one."
"Yes, don't want them to know too soon."
"Ready to go down there?" Blue questioned her.
"As I am every going to be," Coraline told her.
They headed over the hill and down towards the castle below. She let out a sigh as the made their way. Blue smiled at her, hoping that she would calm down before they got inside. She didn't know what she would do if Coraline couldn't be calm as they met with Regina and Emma.
She still couldn't believe that she had chosen to ride in wearing what she was wearing, but Blue knew that she wasn't going to change her mind. The sword at her left hip was facing backward in a sign of peace, but the small axe at her right hip, where most would carry a dagger was sheathed in the standard blade facing forward. The quiver upon her back had her bow sheathed inside it as it was slung over her back so that they were accessible just over her right shoulder. She was dressed for war. The armor she was wearing was light and mostly leather. The only actual metal of her armor were the vambraces that she wore. The cloak that she wore was blue and bore the standard of the fairies. She was wearing at Blue's behest, but she kept her tattoos covered. She felt overdressed considering what she normally wore, but it wasn't every day that she was having an audience with the Queens and was being presented as a knight to the fairies.
"Just stay as quiet as possible. I will do what I can, but I promise you that I will get you the audience with them alone. Since we know that Red is there, then Belle should be as well. I don't know if anyone else is there. With me backing you, Snow and David would take your side accordingly. It would have been better if Tink could come, but she had duties elsewhere."
"Of course, Blue. I just need to know that everything I've done hasn't been in vain. I need to know that what I've endured has given them the happy endings that they deserve," Coraline said.
"I know."
"Now you are the first and only knight that I have employed, act like."
"Yes, ma'am," Coraline replied as she dipped her head in salute.
"And, stop that. Regina would know immediately that we are lying. Keep your head up and only salute Emma and Regina. They are the Queens and the only royalty. I am sure that Regina will question me later about having a knight in my repertoire, but that will be my problem."
"I understand, Blue. I will be the pious knight that serves you well. I will be an adventurer that has pledge my sword to your service. I know my place. I have accepted what I have to do. It is something that I have come to terms with in my long life," Coraline told her.
"Long life? You are barely twenty-five, Coraline. I know that you have seen some things and done some things, but you were only trapped in that well for five years," Blue stated.
"For you it was five years, for me it was a couple it was a few hundred years."
Blue just stared at her as they made their way down the path and towards the castle. She watched as Coraline studied every bit of terrain. Ever the warrior, the mage and the princess, Coraline was the Swan Princess. She was every bit of Emma and Regina's happy ending personified. And, she was still fighting to make sure that they got it, because she was and always would be the Survivor. Just like her mothers.
"Are you scared?" Blue asked as they got closer to the castle.
"Terrified."
"Do you think that they will remember how you are?"
"Not if they drank the Kool Aid."
Blue looked at her. She wondered what that meant. She knew that Coraline would eventually tell her. Today might not be that day, but she knew because of the ring that gave her the memories of Coraline from their past in Storybrooke that Coraline would tell her what she needed to know as she needed to know it. Coraline was the Dark One, but Blue didn't see the need to fear her. She had given her no reason to fear her.
Red woke up and she was alone. She sat up and looked around her apartment. She could tell that the sun was just setting. Belle couldn't have been long gone from the bed, because she could still feel her warmth on the sheets. She looked around again. She saw Belle's shoes just inside her bedroom door.
Just as she was about to call out for Belle, she came out of the in suite bathroom. Their eyes met and Red actually blushed. She didn't know why she was feeling bashful about being naked as Belle came back into the room. She hastily gathered the sheet around her body as she stood up and walked across the room to Belle's side.
"What's wrong?" Belle asked her.
"Nothing, now. I thought you'd left. Is everything okay?" Ruby asked her.
"I am fine. As far as I know, there are no changes at the Abbey. I know that you have some mission from Coraline to carry out. I think that I am going to go back to the Abbey and sit with her. I want to talk with her before they take her heart," Belle told her.
"I am sure that she would enjoy that," Ruby stated.
"How are you? Are you calmer now? Do you need anything?" Belle asked her.
"No, Babe, I am good. I am going to head out to the woods and run for a while. I'll meet you back at the Abbey. If you need me before then, Regina will know how to get me," Ruby said.
"I will. Be careful and I'll see you later. Love you," Belle replied as she left the apartment.
She made her way back through town. She smiled at those townspeople who didn't know what was going on their town. She was happy. They could see that she was happy. She didn't need to tell them that Coraline was becoming the Dark One and that Regina and Emma were losing their daughter. She could only imagine the backlash that it would create among the townsfolk.
Belle knew all too well what the people would do if they found out that her sister and Regina's daughter had become the Dark One. They wouldn't care that she killed Rumple. They would be afraid of her and by proxy Regina, Emma and Belle. She understood why they would be afraid. They would have every right to be. Regina wouldn't stand for it. Emma was the Saviour, but that would only get her so much freedom.
She just hoped that she could actually do something subtly with her new found magic. She would need to talk to Coraline about it. She hoped that they could talk alone. She wondered if the fairies would give them the time. Things were so different now that everyone involved knew that Coraline was slowly being destroyed from the inside out.
She hadn't realized that she'd made it to the Abbey until she was inside. She wasn't sure if she'd used magic to get herself there or not. It didn't matter. She needed to see Belle. They needed to talk about the gift and what she needed from Belle. That was all that matter to her now.
She knocked on the door and waited. Tink opened the door. She gave Belle a quizzical look, but didn't stop her from coming in the room. She moved and allowed Belle to come in.
She looked over Coraline. She looked at peace, but she could still see the wariness of her plight written on her face. There was no way to hide it. Belle did her best not to flinch, but her heart was breaking. She had never been attached to anyone like she had to Coraline. They may not be blood sisters, but the time that they shared, there in Storybrooke, she believed that Coraline was her sister and that was all it took for Belle. She didn't need proof. She didn't care. She took what Coraline said at face value. For intents and purposes, Coraline would always be her sister. If she eventually became her ward, then so be it. But, she would always love her.
"She's been sleeping for a few hours," Tink told her.
"Is she in pain?" Belle asked.
"I don't know. I imagine she is, but she won't say anything about it. How is Ruby?"
"Calmer. She's working on whatever project Coraline has given her. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, it is huge and she feels like she has to do it."
"I understand. We all feel responsible for Coraline. We all love her," Tink told her.
"We do," Belle said turning back to look down at Coraline.
"I'll leave you alone for now. I'll be back later to check on her…and you. Blue is with Regina and Emma, right. Rest easy, Belle. We're going to find a way to help her," Tink explained.
"I hope so."
Tink just nodded. She left Belle alone and hoped that Belle found the answers to the questions that she had yet to ask Coraline. She closed the door and worked her way down the corridors to her own cloister room where she would try to get some sleep.
Belle looked at the brunette in the bed. She still looked like Coraline. She still smelled like Coraline. She still felt like Coraline. To Belle after loving Rumple, she could see the slight differences, but she was still Coraline. It didn't matter what she did, said or magicked. She would always be Coraline, her little sister, her friend. Belle would defend her.
She was lost in her own thoughts about how she could possibly help. She could feel the new power flowing through her body and she knew that she would have to go to Regina when everything was over. She would need to learn to control the power before it took her over. She knew that it was a gift. She would never fear herself or her power. She knew what magic could do and she knew what good it could do as well. She would never stop until Coraline was back with them, safe and not plagued by the darkness of the Dark One's curse.
She hadn't heard Coraline stirring with her musings. Coraline smiled up at the woman who was more than an aunt. Coraline still thought of her as a sister and friend. Belle was one of the few who didn't treat her as a child. She was always truthful and straight with her. It was one of the reasons that they had a quiet but loyal relationship.
"Belle?" Coraline asked quietly as she watched Belle beside her.
"Coraline…I thought you were sleeping."
"I was."
"Do you need anything? Should I get Tink or Blue? Do you need more sleep? I can go."
"No, Belle, stay."
A slow smile crossed the auburn-headed brunette face. Coraline wanted her there. It was the only thing that Belle needed to focus on. They needed each other in that moment. Their relationship had grown quietly behind closed doors. They could turn to each other when Ruby and Will just weren't enough. It was Belle's quiet strength and her knowledge that kept Coraline moving forward for so many years. Belle would never know what her love meant to Coraline in the future, so she tried to make her understand now, when they were both relatively the same age. They know shared a bond of mutual magic. Coraline finally smiled back at her.
"I will stay as long as you would like me to, Coraline."
"Thank you," she whispered.
It hurt Coraline to need anyone. She had been on her own for so long and had survived for so long on her own. Now she had her family and they were everything that she wanted them to be. They were fiercely loyal, strong, magical, erringly hopeful, and fanatically loving. Belle was different. She just was.
"Coraline, will you tell me your plan?" Belle questioned.
"I don't want you to know."
"Ruby won't tell me. You won't tell me. The weight of the knowledge is destroying Emma and Regina. This isn't just your burden, Coraline. It is the burden of us all," Belle told her.
"I don't want it to be," Coraline said.
"Then tell me what I can do to alleviate their pain."
"I don't…I don't know. Everyone thinks that I will die and that is what they need to think, Belle. They can't understand or they won't understand what it means for me to actually be the Dark One. I know that you are uniquely qualified that department, but you've done enough."
"I haven't done enough," Belle mused dejectedly as she slumped slightly in the chair.
"Don't…please don't. I don't want you to be upset. I will tell you what I can, but nothing more. I know that you want to know everything, but there is a reason that Rumple didn't let you in all the way. The Darkness…it is powerful and seducing. The only way I am fighting this right now is due to the cuff on my wrist and the fact that the fairies are still giving me treatments. I cannot be the one that they want me to be anymore and they are mourning that fact. I wish that I could be. I wish that I could be the daughter that they deserve, but I am giving them that chance all over again. I'm giving myself a chance at a happier childhood. I know that isn't what they want to hear, but it is the truth. I will gladly take this…problem…with me knowing that I've done everything in order to protect my family," Coraline explained.
"I am not going to leave you, Coraline. You are still my sister. I will never leave you."
"You will. They all do in the end. It can't be helped. I am the Dark One. Can you love me the same knowing that?" Coraline questioned as her voice broke.
"I can, Coraline. I promise you that. I am not going to let this stop us from helping you. You might be the Dark One, but you are still apart of this family. Our family is broken and disjointed but we still function for the betterment of this town and its people. It is what we have always done and what we will always do. We fight for our family and we aren't done fighting yet."
Coraline smiled. She could feel her magic calling out to Belle now that they were connected. It was a familial pull. She knew that Belle could feel it, too.
"I will always know where you are, won't I?"
"The magic? Not especially, no, but you will always know when I am near. I gave you that magic to help them when I am gone. They will be lost for a while."
"We all will," Belle stated.
"You will still know that I am alive. As long as I live, you will know that I am alive. The magic I gave you isn't something that can be inherited or learned. It can only be given in love. I can't explain it fully. But, you can ask Mom about it later," Coraline explained.
Belle grabbed the chair and moved closer to the cot. She knew exactly what Coraline had done. She'd looked into it as soon as she left her earlier. She'd known what she was capable of doing as soon as the power flowed through her. She knew why Coraline did it. She was one of the few that would corrupt the magic and would use it to help. She took Coraline hand in her own.
"I know what I need to know, Coraline. I don't need ask about how it happened. I might need help controlling it and I am sure that your mother will ask me questions about it later. That will be my problem, not yours. You gave me this gift for a reason. Will you tell me what it is?"
Coraline sighed. She didn't know what to tell Belle. Should she tell her the truth?
"I…Belle…"
"Just tell me, Coraline. I am not going anywhere. I will help where I can," Belle urged.
She sighed again. She squeezed Belle's hand tighter. She turned on the cot to face her.
"I will tell you what I am going to do."
"What does that mean?"
"I am not dying. You know this. I am the Dark One. I will be until someone else takes the power from me. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not tether to the dagger. The power has grown away from it. I will have to willingly give up my power. I cannot be killed like Sosa was by Rumple. My death will be at my choice, not age, disease or by someone else's hand. I am immortal, now. The power flows through me. I can feel it in my entire being. I am choosing to take it and not be full of hatred and anger. I am doing everything that I can with the light magic that I was born with to fight the darkness," Coraline explained.
"I know all that, Coraline. What aren't you telling me? What are you hiding?"
"When I take Neal's heart, I will let myself completely succumb to the darkness. It is the only way that my heart will be able to keep Neal alive. I cannot heal his heart. It isn't whole. I can survive with his half heart. He will be fine with my heart. He will grow up big and fair. He will rule as he should when he comes of age."
"What about Snow and Charming?"
"They will live a long life and rule well. Neal will survive them and rule the kingdom as he should. I will be able to protect him if I have come home to the family. I will make sure that the family doesn't end. But, most of all because I have taken the darkness inside myself, Snow will not betray the family in order to save Neal. He will already have been saved. The Darkness that we were trying to stop will have never been called forth. Saving Neal saves us all."
"Snow already told me as such."
"I am sure that she needed an ally."
"She told Regina days ago," Belle added.
"She needed to clear her conscience for an act that she hadn't even done yet," Coraline mused.
"Snow can't stand to be in the wrong. You should know that. You've read the stories, even in Henry's book. Snow fights for what she believes in, but she cannot do anything that is considered evil without trying to placate someone for the act. She begged Regina to kill her after she caused Cora to die at Regina's hand. Regina refused. I am not sure I understand their relationship, but at some point, I get it," Belle stated.
"I am sure that you do because of your love for Rumple."
"I don't think that it is on the same level, but, yes, I do."
"She loves Regina. She always has and that has been part of the problem for them both. They love each other, but there is so much history between them… I am not sure that they understand why they could never actually kill each other in the past. They will always have a strong and strange familial relationship. At first they were parent and child. Then, through their friendship and working through their issues, they were almost sisters. That was until Emma fell in love with Regina. Now, they will be related by marriage again. The once step-mother will become the daughter-in-law. I am sure that complicates things between them again."
"Snow is dealing with it in her own right," Belle replied.
"I know that she is. Mom and Ma try not to think about it. Mom isn't actually related to her by blood, so there is no conflict there. Snow has her reasons and I get them. She doesn't want to lose Neal. She lost Emma, in more ways than one, but she still has her daughter and an heir. To lose her only son will destroy her completely. I think Mom understands that because of Henry. She understood why Snow would do what she did by releasing the Darkness in order to try to save Neal. But, Snow doesn't understand that you can't control the Darkness. It controls you."
"I would like to think that we stop her from doing it, but you're being here means that didn't happen. We can only hope that you are right and that she doesn't do something that we will all regret because we couldn't stop her. Do you think that she will still try something? Even now?"
"No, I don't. I have stopped that timeline for happening. Things will be different now. I don't know what that is, because I am not privy it to. I haven't lived that timeline. Remy will live it for me. My history is no longer the future and for that I am glad. Remy will have the life that I wanted. She won't have to know that pain that I have," Coraline told her.
"I understand all that, Coraline. But, what will you do? Will you stay with us?"
"I can't. I will not corrupt Remy's life with mine. She doesn't need to know what I have done in order for her to have her life with Mom and Ma. She doesn't need to know that in another life she grew up to be the Dark One. Do you think that she would be able to process that and be happy? I don't. She doesn't need to know who or what I was or am," Coraline stated.
"Then what will you have us tell her?"
"Stories," Coraline related.
"Stories?"
"Yes, just tell her stories. She won't know that they are true. She will grow up believing that the stories which are known as truth to some are nothing more than legends. She doesn't need to know that stories she'll love hearing growing up and reading about are an actual history. Do you know what that kind of knowledge might do to her psyche? Would you want to know that you came back to save your family only to become the Dark One? Would you like to know that you are the one that will have to go back in time to save the family?"
"No, I wouldn't."
"Good, because I don't her to have that knowledge either."
"Then what do you want me to do about that?" Belle questioned.
"I need you to write the story of Coraline."
"The story of Coraline?"
"Yes, you can make it as colorful as you would like. But, record it. Give me that. Give me life in story. Henry will cherish it. Remy will find something in it to base her reign on. She will be able to use it as a teaching text. She will strive to be as heroic as her grandmother Snow, her mothers and the legendary warrior that serves her family only known as Coraline. That is all she needs to know. You can't expect her to understand the complexity of my real life."
"You want to embellish the story?" Belle asked.
"No, I want you to leave certain things out that would make her realize that she is me."
"Coraline…"
"No, Belle, you have to promise that much. Record our history. Attach me to your family if you must, but do not give her the pain of knowing that she is me. I will always use the name in which you gave me. It is the name that I have used most of my life. It is the name I answer to. I am Coraline Danielle French. It is something that has always been mine."
Belle didn't realize that she was crying until she felt the tears on her hands. She looked down at them. She saw the her hands were glowing as she help Coraline. Each tear that joined their hands glowed before it faded away, absorbed into their skin. Her blue eyes found the green swirling eyes of Coraline and she knew that Coraline was in pain because of the cuff.
"Do you want me to remove it?" Belle asked her as one hand moved down to the binding cuff.
"No, leave it. I am fine. You are my family, Belle. Do not mourn me. Celebrate my life."
"I will. I will give your legend the means to inspire the young generations to be as heroic as you have been. But, that still hasn't answered my questions, Coraline. What do you need of me?"
"Stay by Ruby. She will need you. She will turn to you to help her deal with the burden that I have given her. You are the only one that can help her face it and not be alone."
"What have you asked her to do?" Belle asked her.
"She is going to bury me in the well. I will be entombed there until I will be able to control the Darkness inside of me. I know that the well is fed by the waters of Lake Nostros. I want to use that. I want to heal the heart that I will have. Having Neal's half heart that is born from the most powerful magic known in all the realms, I hope to find a way to not dislodge the Darkness, but a way to use it for good. I am going to find a way to make it not be feared but embraced as I become the embodiment of both the most powerful magics of love and hate," Coraline explained.
"But, what do you need of me?"
"Besides keeping my stories alive?" Coraline asked in reply.
"Yes," Belle replied simply.
"I want you to help Ruby in the hardest part of her tasks that I have asked of her," Coraline said.
"Which is?"
"You must make them forget me."
"What?" Belle questioned like she was out of breath. "Why would you want us to forget you? How could I write your stories if I don't remember?"
"You will have time to complete them."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because we have bought enough time for you to do so," Coraline told her.
She shifted in the bed. She knew that this was going to be the hardest part of this conversation, but she'd prepared for it. It was one of the reasons that she gave Belle the powers she had.
"Wait, why?" Belle demanded.
"I gave you the magic so you would know me. You will be the only one that will always know what I am as soon as you see me. It is part of the magic I gave you. You might not remember me, but you will know me. I need someone that can help me reintegrate when I come back. I will need an ally," Coraline told her.
"And you have chosen me?"
"Who would you have me choose then?" Coraline asked.
"One of your mothers," Belle answered.
"They wouldn't be able to handle such a burden. Ruby has enough of a burden in entombing me. I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't think that you could handle the truth, Belle. You've done so much in the background that they don't really know what you are capable of. I do. You raised me. You reared me into being the person I am today. Don't forget that."
"But, I didn't have magic," Belle stated.
"No, you didn't. But, now, you do. And, I need to know that you will follow my wishes."
Belle let go of her hand. She sat back. She stared down at the woman before her.
"What are your wishes?"
"Keep my legend alive, but make them forget me. If they don't remember the trauma of my 'death,' then they will be able to move on with happiness and Remy won't suffer for it. No one needs to mourn me. Remy will still be born. She will still be alive. She will be the one that will need them. I will not. I am the Survivor. I will find my way back. You'll see."
"I'll be waiting then for you in our future… you will always be my sister…"
