Luke's POV
I nodded. I always kept up with that sort of news, especially around this time of year.
"It shouldn't have ended that way," katana said, "It was cruel. Vindictive."
"Some people are," I said, "But I don't think they were. They were misguided. They were trying to take back control. It's one thing knowing when you are going to die; making it happen sooner is another."
"They both survived," Katana said. "The injuries, I read about it. It was awful."
I sat down beside her and took her hand.
"Don't think about it, Katana," I said, "It wasn't their time to go."
"But it's yours?"
"I think so," I said, "I don't know why. Maybe the dreams have nothing to do with it. But I can't shake the feeling."
I stole a look at the clock. Eleven fifty. Ten minutes of life remaining.
"I wish I could keep you," Katana said, tears flowing down her cheek, "I don't want to be on my own. Not after Blaze."
"You won't be on your own," I said, "I'll always be a part of you. You never forgot Sean, you will never forget me."
"Why do we have to know," she said again, "Why only the date, not the year?"
"I don't know how it works," I said, "It is just that way. We just have to live with it, Katana."
"I can't," she said, "I can't go through it again. Please don't make go through it again."
Eleven fifty seven.
"Promise me you'll be fine," I said, "If it does happen, promise me that you will be okay."
Katana smiled, "How can I promise that?"
