What if Anderson is not dead? What if war is not over? What if Ella and Aaron never got over their traumas? Are they ready to continue their lives?
Was everything just Ella's dream, or was it reality?
Story continues two years after Ella's and Aaron...

Lying under the sun, enjoying bird songs and smell of nature, letting waves touch my feet, drinking a cold drink... life feels like a fairytale. I open my eyes to see shadowed world through my sunglasses, and I look down at my skin to realize I got tanned up. I look around me and find that I'm alone.
I suppose Aaron is on his work, but why aren't I? I can't remember, but I let it slide since I'm enjoying my time so much.
I lean back in, take a sip of my cocktail and sign out of pleasure. Life couldn't get any better.
After a while I'm forced to open my eyes because I feel like my skin is burning. I look down at my skin and find nothing, I look at the direction of sun and don't see anything odd. But when I look to the left, I see the same kind of light I see every night.
She's here.
Emmaline is here.
I have to look away until the light disappears and I can see beautiful figure of my sister coming to me. I hope that today I will find more answers than every other night. I'll try my best. I have so many questions and not enough time.
She approaches me with her usual smile that bright my mood every time. I smile right back and I stand up so we can meet on half-way.
"Emmaline?", I call when she doesn't say anything.
She stares back at me for couple more seconds, her smile slowly fading away, sweat breaking on her forehead like she's suffering and she doesn't want me to know. After couple more seconds she completely fakes her smile as she says, "Ella. You know we don't have much time.", She says this every time. Today I will have to try and stop her.
"Emmaline, please. I'm desperate for more answers. I need to know so much. Why do I see you? Is this my imagination or is this a reality? Am I in danger? Why did I have those nightmares? Why are you always in a hurry, is someone hurting you? Please, answer at least something."
But all I get is a small smile in return, her eyes looking right at mine, her brows furrow in a way like she wants to say "I'm sorry, but you know I can't answer any of your questions."
Then, she puts her palm on my shoulder, and says, "You need to listen to me carefully.", she starts the same speech as always, "They're trying to break you but we will resist. Warner is trying to break you, while Aaron is trying to save you. You need to be strong. You can't trust anyone.", after this speech there is only one sentence left and it is, "Warners need help."
With that said, she starts to walk backwards, repeating last sentence, "Warners need help.", one more step back, "Warners need help."
"Emmaline!", I run after her but she is so much faster than me, "Please! What do you mean? I don't understand you. Please answer me!", I feel my eyes water as I fall on my knees. I'm weak. I'm desperate. And Emmaline is asking me not to be. But how? How when I'm so confused. During night I'm supposed to rest and dream about nice things, but instead I see Emmaline every night repeating the same speech and I feel like I have two life's.
