Sera's POV

Fresh cool grass lay underneath me, and the light cool breeze jerked me awake. I was lying down staring at a clear blue sky. I felt lighter… I felt happy again… Beside my feet, there was a lake flowing swiftly, and its gargle sounds were putting my mind at ease. I looked to my sides, and patches of roses and tulips were surrounding everything. From the other side of the lake, I could see dandelions flying through falling on top of my nose, and nothing seemed to be in haze. It was a perfect spring day, with a bright sunlight warming me up from the insides.

I stood up, and looked far ahead towards the horizon, and all there was around me was open space. The grass hustled together, leaving only restful sounds. I looked around me, and felt myself lighter from anything and everything that weighed me down. I ran through the grass while I let my hands get wet with the tiny droplets that had fallen on every grass. I opened my arms and let the wind drift and taking away everything with it.

Soon I stopped… in front of me, there was a guy… a good looking one I must say. He had dark copper brown hair … just like dad's… and blue eyes. He was wearing a white suit. There were no more than few meters between us. The wind made his hair look messy, yet it still looked amazing. He could probably be not more than 21…

'Hi Sera… What brings you here?' He asked as he moved closer to me.

'Me?' I asked him back.

'Yes… I don't see anyone else…' He smiled gently.

'Who are you? Do I know you?' I asked him. His face was familiar, but I couldn't recognise his face.

'Don't you remember me Sera?' He asked again as he moved towards me and removed a lock of my hair behind my ear. 'I thought you would never forget me… Cookie…' He replied. His response took me off guard. Nobody knew that name except my parents … and…

'Where? How?' I asked again as he placed his finger on my lips.

'Shh Cookie…' He smiled. 'I'm here now…'

'…but you were… three… now you're…'

'Here we age differently Cookie…' He smiled again.

'Am I… Did I die Jason?' I asked again.

'No… not as yet… you can only make this decision… I'm only here to help you out Sera…' He said again. 'Come here Cookie.' He continued as he held his arms open and took me in his embrace.

'Jason! I missed you!'

'I missed you to Cookie… but that doesn't mean I left you… I was always there for you Cookie…' He said again as he released me from his embrace.

'Where am I?' I asked him gently.

'Where do you think you are Sera? You are not dead… but you are not quite alive…'

'I love it here…' I replied again as I gave him my back and looked at the confines around me. It was so peaceful! I loved it there. 'Why are you here?' I asked him gently as I turned back to face him.

'I'm here to help you… and guide you Cookie…' He replied again while I chuckled.

'It's funny…'

'What's funny Sera?'

'I'm the big sister, and you're helping me…' I replied again, but soon my smile faded. 'I was supposed to help you that night Jason…'

'Don't beat yourself about it Sera… It was a leap of faith… it was my time…' He said again, as he held his hand forward to me. 'Come…'

'Where are we going?' I replied as I took his hand.

'You'll see…' He smiled.

A rush of wind took us off the floor and he entered some sort of a hurricane. Soon we were back at Escala. He released my hand and opened the door to his nursery.

'What are we doing here Jason?'

'You'll see Cookie… Some memories won't harm us…' He smiled again as he pulled me with him inside his room.

'Come here Jason!' I laughed as I ran after him.

'Nooo…' He screamed as he continued to run. He climbed up the on the sofa and started jumping on it. 'Coookkiiieee! Catch me!' He shouted again as he jumped while I caught him.

'Easy there little guy!' I said again. 'I don't want you to get hurt… and you know how mum and dad are about us getting hurt…'

'Let's go to daddy Coookkiiee!' He screamed again while he hugged me on the floor. The door soon opened and both mum and dad were in.

'We heard two little angels!' Dad started.

'Meee thee anngeell daddy!' Jason shouted, while we both ran towards him and caught us in mid-air.

'Easy there! You can get hurt! Both of you!' He smiled while a blinding white light had flashed in our face.

'MUMMMYYY!' Both of us grumbled.

'I remember this day…'

'I do too Cookie…'

'It was mum's birthday… We then went to spend a day on dad's yacht…' I replied. 'You used to say that it was the big big big car, Jason…'

'I couldn't comprehend the difference between a car and a yacht… for me both was a mean of transport… and they are…' He smiled. 'Let's see another one.' He said again as he took my hand again. This time we were in a different time. It was few months before he had just died. It was December.

'Oh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree! Thy leaves are so unchanging. Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, Thy leaves are so unchanging!' We all sang.

'Jason, do you want to put the star up?' Dad asked as he lifted him up.

'Daddyy! Higherr!'

'No Jason… I don't want you to get hurt baby boy!' Dad said again as he placed him on his neck.

'Come Sera!' Mum said as she lifted me on her hip. 'Let's see what's your father up to…'

'Mummy?'

'Yes sweetie pie?'

'Can we go ice skating tonight?'

'Of course we will honey! As usual, we first go skating, then we'll go to the midnight mass, and then we open the presents…'

'Really? Presents!' I laughed.

'Yes munchkin'…' she replied again as she tickled gently.

'Jason and I made you and daddy a present too! It's under the tree!' I said as I locked my hands around her neck.

'I'm sure we'll love it baby girl…' She smiled.

'Do you remember this?' Jason asked.

'Yes…' I smiled. '…this was the happiest time of my life… We were a family!'

'… and you still can be!' He replied again.

'Do you remember what they got you?' I asked him.

'Of course I do… You got me one of those teddies I wanted, and mum and dad got me Arts and Crafts materials.' He smiled. 'Do you remember what they got you Sera?'

'Yes… my first ballet pointe shoes…'

'Do you remember what dad did that night?'

'He spent his night dancing with me… and then we all crashed into mum and dad's bedroom…' I replied again. '…but why are you showing me this?'

'…because now… I want to show you this…' He replied as he snapped his fingers and the scene changed again.

'Why are we here?' I asked as I realized that I was in my parents' bedroom.

'This is why…' He answered as I saw myself going through the door.

'Mum?' I asked, but I heard no reply. ' Mum?' I said again.

'I know what this is! I remember… Please let's leave!' I begged him.

'No Cookie… watch…' He replied again as he guided me to the bathroom.

'Mum?' I asked again as I knocked the bathroom door, but there was no answer as yet. I opened the door gently and there she was… lying unconsciously on the ground. 'Mummy?' I cried as I ran towards her.

'Ca…ll.l… 9..1..1.' she said while she was coughing. I looked around at saw bottle of pills on the ground, and bottle of whisky beside her. 'Ca…ll. 911.' She said again.

'Mummy? What happened?' I asked her again.

'Call…' She begged again. I did as she told me and soon Taylor was beside us. He lifted me off, while the paramedics took care of my mother.

'Mummyyy!' I screamed in Taylor's ear as he held me stronger.

'Shh sweet heart… Your mummy will be fine… Don't worry…'

'Mummy!' I screamed again.

'Please let's go Jason…'

'You remember what happened?'

'Of course I do… It was few days after mum and I returned home. Dad had to go abroad on business. Mum kept crying for days… she didn't come out of her bedroom. She was sad… I knew she was… I went beside her to try and make her happy…'

'…and what happened later?'

'Taylor took me to hospital… and she looked better… she explained to me that she has a problem… and that I had to keep this little secret of hers.'

'What did you do?'

'I promised her that I wouldn't say anything… because I love her… I didn't understand that she was… hurting herself…'

'You were young Sera… it wasn't your fault…'

'…but I was supposed to be there for her in the best way I could… you… you were killed Jason… and both of them never talked about you… I know they still hurt…'

'Did you tell dad later on?'

'No… but dad found some diet pills in mum's purse 8 months ago. They had a very bad argument… and she promised she'll stop… and I think she did for a couple of months… I mean she said she was better. I tried talking to her… especially about her overdose...She told me she had stopped… until three weeks ago… before Flynn invited me.'

'What happened Sera?' He asked again as he snapped his finger and we returned back to the meadow.

'I found mum's… I found another bottle in her handbag. I needed my ID card, and… well…'

'What happened afterwards?'

'I asked her about them… and she told me that she was going to stop… and that she wanted to get better. I begged her to get better at least for daddy. He needed her… He truly does love her Jason… He's willing to do anything for her… I just wish them to be happy… you know… as we were before you died!' I replied again.

'…and you still can be Cookie… you just have to not give up.' He said again as his body started to fade.

'Are you going?'

'Sera… you cannot stay here for ever…' He replied again. I started hearing some words.

'No Jason… Please don't leave me!'

'I love you Sera… Don't give up!' He said again before everything around me started fading.

Carrick's POV

'CHARGE AGAIN!...CLEAR!... There it is… We have a rhythm…'

'Her electrolytes are all over the place!' Burge replied, while I checked her pupils.

'Pupils dilating…' I said again. 'Blood pressure still low… give me 5mg of hydralazine… it's coming back up…'

'Carrick, I want to send her up to cardiology.' Burge replied as he took a look at the EEG's. 'This is not good at all…'

Sera's POV

I started hearing some voices around, and my arm was burning but yet it was cold. I moved my fingers lightly till I got feeling back into them.

Carrick's POV

'Carrick, I think she's waking up.' Mandela noted.

'Sera? Sera can you hear me?' I said as I opened her eye and flashed the light again. Her pupils were dilating. I was hoping there were no neurological complications from oxygen debt. 'Sera?' I asked again. I left her eyes resting, but soon she started blinking. 'Sera?' I asked again, as the nurse took the oxygen pump off her face.

'Ja..ason..' She mumbled. She took me off guard. Did she just mention Jason?

'Jason?...Who's Jason?' Burge asked.

'Her dead brother.'

'Ja..s…on…' She said again.

'Sweet heart… Baby… Jason is not here… Do you know where you are?' I asked her.

'No… no… I saw him… he was here…' She replied again.

'He's not here Sera…' I replied again. 'Sweet heart, you have to remain calm… Now… tell me… do you know where you are?' I asked again. She looked around, and finally answered.

'Hospital?'

'Yes…' I replied again as I placed my index fingers in each of her hand. 'Squeeze them for me please?... That's it kiddo...' I continued as she squeezed them the best she could. 'Tell me if you can feel me…' I said again as I pinched her legs.

'Aww… it hurts…' She mumbled.

'Good… it's better to hurt than not feeling anything at all…' I replied again while she was drifting back into sleep. 'Don't sleep munchkin… not for now… you have to stay awake ok?'
