Christian sat craddling Gabrielle’s lifeless body. He couldn’t believe all the things that had happened in the few short months that she had been back and now it was all over. She was dead. Killed by the two men that she loved the most or at least thats the way it seemed toward the end. She was always spending her time with either Edge or Kael. He was forgoten. Cast aside while the two other men in her life. Now he was the only one left. There was no one left to mourn her but him.

"Gabrielle, I loved you so much more than either one of them could have. I just wish you had seen it in time." he sobbed gently as he pressed his lips to her head. He scooped her up and carried her to her room where he laid her on her bed trying to pretend that it was all some bad dream that when they woke up things would be okay. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her. For a split second he could almost feel her breathing. He sobbed gently and drifted into a fitful almost unbearable sleep. When he closed his eyes he could see it all over again. All the pain and fighting and Gabrielle’s death.

"Everything’s going to be alright Gabby I promise you." he whispered to her as she lay on the floor helpless.

"Christian please dont leave me... please... I need you" she whispered with tears in her eyes. He wanted to trade places with her. He wanted to die for her.

He could feel the uneasiness in the air and he knew what was coming next. The dream! The recap of the past three months of his life and the end of his world all in the same dream.
