Lost And Found...

Chapter One: Monster

"Stop it You!" Mckenzie giggled playfully to Leo. She had been trying to concentrate on where her feet were, but Leo wasn't helping, at all. 

"Make Me!" He chuckled whilst slithering his arm around her waist to support her. She'd never been a strong ice skater unlike Leo, so she usually wouldn't go ice-skating during the winter, being accident prone and all, but with Leo she knew she was safe. However, when jokingly insulting her about how bad her balance was, it made her lose her concentration, which often led to her tripping over her own feet. Mckenzie was just nervous about falling flat on her face, again. 

Having given up on ice skating, they were embracing each other on a bench next to the rink. The night couldn't have been any better. There were no clouds in the starry night sky, and being wrapped up in Leo's arms i the late night evening was a warm cosy haven. 

That's the thing about being married, a lot of people think, it's just a waste of money. Most of them have never been married or they have just been divorced. Up until Leo came along, Mckenzie had thought the same. 

Being married to Leo was the best thing that had ever happened to her in her life though, and she wouldn't want it any other way.

Mckenzie looked up at the moon and just stared.

"Don't you just think the moon is just the most beautiful thing? I swear its more that just a rock in the sky/ It's so much more. It holds so much history. It's seen every trace of love that has ever been traced on this planet." 

Grinning Leo gazed up at the moon and then back to Mckenzie who was snuggling up into him. 

"You're right. absolutely right! Except, it's the second most beautiful thing, I have ever seen." Smiling sweetly loving stared into Leo hazel eyes. She pushed herself up so her lips were able to touch his. Passion, Love and Comfort, flowed through her, as she pulled away for air.

"Come on, lets get you home. I'm sure Phoebe will be wanting us to feed her. Then we can cosy up under a blanket!" Leo suggested, sounded like a plan to Mckenzie.

                                                              *        *        *

 'I can't believe this is happening' Mckenzie thought to herself. She was sitting at home with Phoebe on her lap. Poor Phoebe, completely unaware that one of her owners was no longer with them. Not being able to take the pain, Mckenzie sobbed into the old dog. She knew it was a possibility that this could happen. Leo was at war when he got shot, for crying out loud. But Mckenzie couldn't believe someone would do such a thing. 

She had been out walking Phoebe in London and when she got back she had received the news from a messenger. And to think she was in his arms last week. She had been with him but then he had to leave. After two years of marriage she was now left to be a widow. Alone.

No matter how much people tried to comfort her, Mckenzie was still devastated. She felt she was alone, trapped inside someone elses life, with no way out. No matter how many times she cried, it never brought Leo back. The only one to cure her pain was Leo, and he was gone, forever. 

Sitting at home together in their apartment, Mckenzie and Phoebe were on the sofa silently. Phoebe had dozed off and Mckenzie was staring out of the window up at the moon. Tears fell from her eyes as the buzzer went off. Trying to shift herself without waking Phoebe, Mckenzie went to go and let her visitor up.

Great! Just what she needed, someone else to pity her. When there was a knock at the door, Phoebe ran off the sofa, now awake, and started jumping at the door. Mckenzie slowly opened the door and pulled it towards her, acting as if it weighed a ton. 

To her surprise, the one person who she knew, other than Leo, that would be able to understand, was right in front of her. Throwing herself at him like Phoebe, Mckenzie cried heavily into his shoulder.

"It hurts so much!" She cried. Nodding, Mckenize's brother whispered in her ear.

"I know." And she knew, he really did.
