"Come on."
He doesn't move, not even a twitch.
"I will help you. I promise."
He still doesn't move and I feel the tears welling up in my eyes. "I need you."
He doesn't move, not an inch. I lean down and kiss his forehead, hoping that he can feel me.
"I will never leave you. We are meant to be. You are my life."
Nothing happens, making my chest ache.
"Please, Onyx. Please come back to me."
Still, nothing.
"I'm so sorry. I never should have brought you here."
I sit down beside him, my heart pounding in my chest.
"Please don't leave me. I will do whatever it takes to make you happy."
I don't know what to do. There's nothing that I can do.
"Please."
I keep hoping that he will open his eyes and look at me. But, he doesn't.
"I'm sorry, Onyx."
It's the only thing that I can say at this point.
"I love you."
He's still not moving, not even a flutter of an eyelash.
"Please, Onyx. Please don't leave me. I can't live without you."
I know I need to get him to the mountain. It's not going to be an easy quest but I keep going back and forth on how I'm going to do it. I need to trust someone, someone who's good enough that they won't betray me.
I just hope by the time we get to the mountain, it's not too late.
Chapter Ten
Onyx
I can hear Hannah talking to me but I can't respond. It's like my body isn't my own at this point. Honestly, it's a little scary and I don't know what to think of it. I don't want her to give up her hopes and dreams of what she wants to do but I also know that I can't live without her. If she doesn't want to go to the mountain, I can't force her, but that'll automatically make it so we will be apart. Away from my children... I can't. I'm not going to let them grow up without their father.
I try to reach out to her but I'm too weak.

Two Years Later
Onyx has been asleep for two long years now. We have remained on the mountain, making sure to be by his side during this time. With the help of the villagers, we were able to build a house on the mountain where I have been raising our children. We visited his cave every day, a hope inside of me that he would wake up. Our children know who he is and they miss him. They want him to wake up as well. I miss his touch. I miss being with him.
But I can't force him to wake up. It has to be his choice.
