Amanda was enveloped in darkness, someone was chasing her, she tried to move towards the only source of light but she could not, no matter how much she tried, she could not reach it.

Her heart fell as she thought about the fate that awaited her. Was she already in hell. Had God really let her die?

Amanda fought to open her eyes but they were so heavy. Her eyelids seemed to carry tons of loads as she could not even move them. The darkness was suffocating her.

As she struggled with the darkness and almost gave up, she heard someone shout her name.

"Amanda hang in there, don't give up. You cannot leave me alone. I will be right there to save you. Even if I can't, I will gladly accompany you to hell. We will always be together, always." The voice started to fade.

Amanda thought that the voice sounded familiar, but because of the darkness she could not tell out who was talking.

But she felt an explicit peace when she heard that voice. In her past life, no one cared about her like that. She even died alone in the prison.

Amanda fought heard to open her heavy eyelids.

What greeted her eyes was white a ceiling, it had a huge bulb that had already been turned off. 

Her head was resting on a soft fluffy white pillow. Her hair was all over the place and her body was sticky with sweat.

Amanda looked at the blue and white walls and concluded that she was in a hospital. Seeing the IV bag hanged on the IV pole, Amanda was dazed.

It seemed that she was just having a nightmare and she was has not died.

She tried to move her hand but realised that something was clutching it tightly.

Amanda moved her head robitically only to come into view with a handsome face.

Richard was sleeping on the side of the bed while clutching her hand tightly. He seemed not to be sleeping peacefully as a frown was seen between his eyebrows.

He looked exhausted as his eyes, although closed, you could see the obvious eye bugs.

His santa claus had grown and it only added to his charm.

Amanda looked at the handsome face and immediately thanked the heavens that she was not dead.

Richard opened his eyes when he heard the movement beside him.

He was having a nightmare that he saw Amanda being consumed in flames but he could not do anything. No matter how much he called, Ananda never looked at him.

Opening his eyes and seeing that beautiful face infront of him, Richard was relieved.
