KRIS' POV:

'Wait...where..am I?' I thought as I slowly opened my eyes.

My surroundings were dark, but where I was had some light. And someone was singing.

They were stroking my hair lovingly and I had my head on their lap. The voice...it sounded so familiar...but who-

......wait....

..it..it couldn't be..

.....Ralsei?...Is..Is that you?....

I didn't say anything. I just laid there, listening to his beautiful voice. The voice that would always soothe me when I'm in my darkest times.

(Btw can we clap it up for ShySiesta and her beautiful voice and just this song in general cuz my god this is absolutely gorgeous!!)

"Darling won't you please calm your heart
Just close your eyes...and hear your heartache wisp away...
Let sleep embrace you, don't be afraid of the dark.

Please, allow me to pacify your mind.
Just rest, oh rest...and feel your pain be blown away...
And no harm done, oh no pain shall come.
For now place your worries aside.

(Hush now, hush now,)
(No one can hurt you now.)
(See all that you've accomplished,)
(now take a bow.)

(Everyone has their own battles)
(inside their hearts so please...be gentle.)

(You never have to fight)
(your battles alone...)"

My throat started to tighten. I missed him so much. He was always there for me, no matter what I did, no matter what I said, he was always by my side.

"...Ral...sei...." I said quietly, slowly reaching my hand up to feel him.

He gently took my hand and our fingers intertwine. I blushed a bit at his actions. His hand was...warm. I held onto him as he continued to sing.

"Darling, oh won't you please calm your heart.
Just close your eyes...and hear your heartache wisp away...
Let sleep embrace you, don't be afraid of the dark.

Please, allow me to pacify your mind.
Just rest, oh rest...and feel your pain be blown away...
So no harm done, oh no pain shall come...for now place your worries aside.."

Ralsei held my hand as he lended in closer to me.

"Kris...don't forget...you're strong..much stronger than you think....stay determined..and I'll see you soon...." He softly whispered to me.

My hand gripped tighter on his hand. I didn't want to let go.

"Wait Ralsei...don't leave....please..." I said. I felt my eyes start to water.

"We will meet again Kris...I promise...besides everyone's waiting for you...they're all worried about you..."

"But..I..I want to be with you...please...don't go..." I begged.
