<P><EM>Epilogue</EM></P>
<P><EM>Ten years later:</EM></P>
<P><EM>"The kids are a sleep" I say as I crawl into our bed. His arms wrap around me and I feel my heart quicken, still after all these years.</EM></P>
<P><EM>"Our boys sure are growing up quickly aren't they?" I nestle myself beside him listening to his soft heart beat. It was so faint sometimes I couldn't hear it at all</EM></P>
<P><EM>"Yup, they look more and more like you everyday."</EM></P>
<P><EM>"Oh! I forgot, I have to go get something from out in the barn. I'll be back." I close my eyes as I listen to the patter of his feet as he walks to the door but as he reaches it he hesitates. "Anna,"</EM></P>
<P><EM>I look up at him, he looks so much different than when he wears his official uniform. "Yes dear?"</EM></P>
<P><EM>"I love you," he smiles and closes the door behind him. I don't say it back, even now after all these years I still can't.</EM></P>
<P><EM>When I hear the front door close I get up slowly and walk to my closet. Behind the jewels and gowns I find what I'm looking for. Hidden in the pocket of one of my old winter coats is a folded photograph, wrinkled and torn at the edges it hardly seamed to be barely hanging together after all this time. I hesitate for a moment then slowly unfold it. I stare down at the two of us; Mitch and I. We were so young then, so happy. </EM></P>
<P><EM>"Mitch," I whisper, "how did this happen? How? One day we were happy and then the next..."</EM></P>
<P><EM>"What are you doing?" I don't even have time to flinch as I feel my husbands hands grab the collar of my night gown and drag me out. He rips the picture from my hands. "What is this Anniel?" he yells.</EM></P>
<P><EM>"Shh, please the boys are asleep," I say trying to subdue his anger but it only makes it grow.</EM></P>
<P><EM>I feel his hand fly across my cheek, but I am still standing. Time had at least made me strong enough for that. When he takes in my expression his face softens, "Anniel he's gone. After all these years why do this to me? To our family? Anna he's gone, Mitchel is dead."</EM></P>
<P>I wake up screaming. Beads of sweat pour down my face and soak my bandages. </P>
<P>"What's wrong?" Mitch says as the door slams open. He had been in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put down the paper he had been reading. 'Fire at Eingail Estate: Two Dead' read the headlines.</P>
<P>"Mitch!" as soon as I have my arms open he's there.</P>
<P>"It's okay Anna, I'm here, everything is okay." He looks at me and I see the pain flicker on his face though he tries to hide it, but it's no use. I can see myself in his eyes, I know what happened to me that night and thanks to Vaun I won't ever be able to forget it.</P>
<P>"I love you Mitch" I whisper through the pain.</P>
<P>"I love you Anna"</P>
<P>The End.....or is it? *ooooh-ooooh" spooky music*</P>
<P>Hope You all liked it!!!!</P>
