I'll Always Come Back

Keefe's POV

"Keefe, stop. It's too dangerous. Let me go," Foster pleads as I'm checking all of my concealed weapons one last time.

"Foster, this is a stealth mission, and let's face it, you're really clumsy. I also know a lot of places within the Neverseen's hideout so I should come up with something good."

"This isn't going to change anything from the past months, Keefe, they destroyed everything."

"We can never be to sure," I say unenthusiastically, just as worried as she was. Well maybe not quite as worried as she was.

She was standing in the corner of the bare room we were on, to be my departing party. Her beautiful brown eyes glittered with worry in the dim lighting, and she was nervously tugging out loose eyelashes.

"Foster, I'll be okay, I got this."

"Keefe," She says, "What about last time? You almost died. Do you understand how scary that was for me?"

I look down at my feet remembering the blazing fires that surrounded me.

"That won't happen this time," I say, determined.

"What if you don't come back?" She whispers.

"Foster, as long as you're here I'll always come back."

She lets out a sigh and walks over to where I was standing. She gives me a hug and whispers, "Good luck." She pulls away and walks towards the exit and as she puts her hand on the handle, she says, "Before you go, I just wanted to say that I love you." And with that, she turned and left.

This was going to be one heck of a mission.
