"No! Don't let them touch her! Just let her be! I'm almost there!" Bård yelled over the phone with the police officer on the other line.

"But I don't get the point Mr. Ylvisåker. She's been declared dead for an hour now. We couldn't possibly do anything to bring her back." The officer replied from the other line obviously showing irritation in his voice.

"Just please, please officer, just wait for me. I'm close." Bård pleaded. He's not really sure about his feelings but somehow, he believes that Reve is not yet dead. They can't bring her to the morgue.

The officer gave out a sigh and the line broke.

Bård dashed his way towards the hospital. He was met by the police officer that he had spoken on the phone a while ago and together, they went to the room where they placed Reve.

When Bård entered the room, he saw Reve's body covered with a white cloth. The officer left him as he slowly walked closer towards Reve's body. He held the hem of the cloth that covered Reve and slowly, with shaking hands he pulled it to expose her face. She's so pale but she jus looks like she's just sleeping. So calm, no sign of struggle. She's just probably sleeping. Bård thought to himself.

"Hey." Bård called.

"Hey, wake up now. I'm here." Bård said in an unexpectedly small voice. Okay, maybe he didn't believed the officer about her being dead but he's now getting scared that what the officer said is true.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I-I was just angry that time. You didn't have to run away like that." Bård continued talking without any response from Reve. She's just lying very still in that hospital bed.

"I'm sorry." Bård said in a whisper. He moved closer and held Reve's shoulders and shook her.

"Hey, I'm here. Wake up now." Bård said as he continued shaking Reve.

The reality is slowly sinking, first in his head, then, slowly, penetrating into his heart. He could feel it pumping faster and faster. It's getting harder to breath.

"Hey." His voice broke. He stopped shaking Reve.

"I'm sorry." Bård said as tears raced their way down to his cheeks.

"Wake up. Please, wake up." He said in a whisper.

"No. No. No. Reve you can't die. You can't die." Bård said as he took two steps away from Reve. He washed his face with his palms and cried harder.

"You can't die. You understand?! It was suppose to be me! Not you! You can't die! You can't!" Bård screamed.

"You can't." He sobbed. Then, something just dawned on him. He moved quickly towards Reve and held her right hand with both of his hands.

"Here. Take it. You need it more than me. I-I wanted to die anyway. You can live like a human now. Take it. Take the bead from me." Bård said but still no reaction whatsoever from Reve.

"Come on. Wake up!" Bård yelled.

"Take it!" Bård continued to yell and placed Reve's hand against his chest.

Then, Reve gasped for air and she's breathing again. Bård stopped for a second. He didn't expect it to work. He kissed Reve's hand and hugged her.

"Thank you." He whispered. He broke off from the hug and just stared at her while still holding her hand. He's so grateful to see her breathing again. Then, he remembered the doctors, the police, they thought Reve's dead. He wiped his tears and slowly took off his grip from Reve's hand. When he made sure that Reve's still breathing after he took his hand, he ran outside and informed the doctors.

"Hey, she's alive. She needs help now!" Bård said to a nurse just passing by. The nurse threw him a confused look.

"She's breathing." Bård continued. The nurse then hurried towards Reve and checked for her pulse.

The Officer noticed the commotion so he went inside the room too.

"What happened?" he asked Bård.

"She's alive. She's still alive." Bård replied.

"What?" The shocked officer said.

"She's alive." The horrified nurse said.

"How?" The nurse asked.

"I don't know." Bård replied.

The nurse threw him a suspicious look.

"What? Are we waiting for her to die again before you get help?" Bård said impatiently.

The nurse seemed to wake up from a dream and that things just started to make sense.

"Wait here." She said and ran to get help.
