*TWO YEARS LATER...*

(Aura wakes up from her bed and gets up but... she's in an unusual place.)

Aura: Sam...? Where am... I?

(She's found herself in a huge cave with small white lights going in a certain direction of the cave.)
(Aura begins to follow, hoping it's some sort of prank.)

Aura: Sam, is this some weird part of your magic I don't know about...?

(She continues to follow the white glowing lights on the walls of the cave.)
(She turns around the corner and finds a huge room full of huge white crystals similar to the small one on the necklace.)

Aura: What is this place?

(Aura looks down at her hands to see she's holding the crystal necklace and knife.)

Aura: W-what...?

(Aura looks back up to see Natsuki standing before her.)

Aura: Thank goodness it was all a dream, I actually thought you died!

(She rushed to give Natsuki a hug but she disappears before her very eyes.)
(Natsuki's red eyes glow in the dark.)

Aura: Natsuki...? What's wrong... with your eyes...?

(The huge white crystals turn red and Natsuki's voice echoes through the entire cave.)

Natsuki: All those years on the island for nothing...! Why didn't you save me...?

Aura: W-what...? What's going on...?!?

Natsuki: Save... me...!

Aura: No... stop... please...!

Natsuki: My death is all your fault.

Aura: No please... I'm sorry...! Please stop...!

(Natsuki appears behind Aura, this time holding the knife.)
(She rushes at Aura but someone screams her name.)

???: AURA!!!!!

(She wakes up instantly and sees Sam standing there.)
(It was a nightmare...)

Aura: S-sam...? Is that you...?

Sam: Yes, I'm here. Did you have another nightmare again?

(Aura lunges into Sam's arms and cries.)

Aura: YES, yes I did!!!! WHY is the world torturing me...?!?

Sam: Shhhh... it's ok, I'm here. You're safe now.

Aura: This island is a nightmare...!

Sam: Sshhhh... I know it is... I'm here. Don't cry.

Aura: I just... really miss her... them, I miss them, all of them. You know?

Sam: I miss her too. That was years ago, please stop crying.

(Aura manages to hold herself together.)

Aura: I'm sorry... I- I'm fine.

Sam: Good. Now come downstairs for breakfast, I made your favorite.

Aura: Can you... carry me?

(He uses telekinesis.)

Aura: No! Not with that!

(He picks up her body teleports downstairs.)

Aura: Hey, I said carry me!!

(Aura blushes a little.)
