It was dark and cold where Mountie Jack Thornton was sitting. He was not near the fire, so he tried to not shiver in the cold night. He had to be courageous for his Elizabeth...and for the two Mountie trainees who were next to him. There had been a landslide and Jack had pushed the two trainees away from it. That was when someone else shoved him out of the way. Criminals had captured him and the two trainees... from the Northern Territories.

"I-I d-didn't sign u-up for this, s-sir," Young Nathaniel whined, who sat next beside Jack, his hands tied behind his back.

"You'll be fine, ensign." Jack murmured. The two criminals were sitting close to the fire, speaking to each other in hushed tones. The braver of the two trainees muttered something underneath his breath about the two criminals. Jack had seen them before - he had tried so very hard to capture them but failed.

"What was that, squirt?" The taller criminal asked getting up from the ground towards the bound Mounties.

"Nothing." Jack inwardly sighed hoping they wouldn't be stupid to aggravate the two robbers.

"Are you sure?" Jameson Hughes' dark slimy hair shined in the moonlight, hand on his gunbelt making Jack hold his breath.

Elizabeth kept crying, nonstop. All her feelings: anger, sadness, everything was so confusing. It was as if everything was silent in Hope Valley. Their mountie, their fearless and brave constable was dead.

At least he had saved two lives...but why him?? Why did he have to die? WHY HIM?? She wiped her face with her sleeve, and stared at the framed picture she held in her hand.

"No! NO!" She screamed, throwing it across the room. The sound of glass shattered the thick silence.

He was dead. Elizabeth's heart broke a million more times as her tears stained her dress. He was gone. Someone knocked on the door softly.

"Who is it?" She choked trying to keep her voice steady as possible.

"Its me, Elizabeth." Abigail's voice came through the other side of the door. "Are you okay?"

"I-I'm not okay."

"Can I come in?"

"Yes...yes please come in." Abigail opened the door and gasped when she saw the shattered glass on the floor.

"Elizabeth! Are you all right?!"

"I...I...he's dead.."

"No..." Elizabeth blinked and looked at her friend.

"What are you talking about?"

"Jack... He isn't dead,"
