He opened his arms wide and I gave him the happiest expression before jumping into his arms.
"I love you with all my heart, Brother," I whispered before yawning, suddenly feeling sleepy.
"I love you too, Jewel. Death cannot get rid of my love for you and I will continue to watch over you until I know you’ll always be safe. Farewell, my sister,” his whispered voice sounded further away as my mind drifted into darkness.
Farewell, Gabriel.

The sound of whispering woke me up, my sluggish mind trying to figure out where I was as my hearing began to pick up the words being exchanged.
"What if..." I heard a soft voice begin but trailed off.
I listened closely to the familiar voice that spoke next.
"Zane, stop already. Jewel's been fighting really hard. She won't die again, Savannah confirmed it," Logan reassured.
Again? What do you mean I died again? I don't feel like I died.
"But...it's my fault."
The deep voice broke and I knew he was on the verge of crying.
"Hey. Jewel's not gonna be happy if she wakes up to you bawling your eyes out. Not a sexy first impression. Don't worry. Everything is going to be okay," Brax reassured him.
"Yes, her blood results came back and everything is within a healthy range and thankfully nothing is broken. Just the stress of the fall and the fact she hit her head prior is why she's been out for so long. Don't lose hope." Maximus spoke calmly.
Fall? I fell…when? What was I doing prior to this? Sunday...exam prep...we went to stop something bad.
"She's a trooper. We just have to be patient," Nixon declared quietly.
I remembered his fearful eyes, his hands reaching out to me, but I didn't understand why?
Maybe I was falling, but how did I get to that point exactly?
"Kiku Ku!" a chirping sound exclaimed.
"Huh? Jewel's awake?" Kage's gentle voice questioned.
I felt something soft rub against my cheek before a quiet purr.Alice?
"Meow meow meow,” she replied"Jewel? My Jewel's okay? Does anything hurt? Do you know who I am?"
Her worried voice hurt my heart, making me wish I had the energy to hug and comfort her.
I must have really gotten hurt for Alice to be so freaked out.
No…nothing hurts. I think I'm okay. Really tired though. It’s really hard to open my eyes. And of course, I know who you are, Alice Starfire who likes to steal our neighbor’s jewelry .
I felt Alice begin to lick my cheek, which made me want to giggle.
"Jewel, my precious. Can you try to open your eyes for me?” Logan's voice was closer and gentle which made me realize he was whispering into my ear.
"Zane, dim the lights," Maximus requested.
"Meow?" Alice added."Just try. Don't worry if you can't. Savannah said you need lots of rest."
Hmm, alright.
