Sara's hand was cool to his touch. He laced his fingers through hers, locking their hands together, and with his other hand, he found her pulse.
He could hear Ameera's words replaying in his head: Talk to her with your mind. Tune into her breathing. Breathe with her and start to relax. Zak closed his eyes. He paused his own breathing so he might hear her own, and acclimate to it. He allowed himself to feel calmer still as he began to breathe again, in time with Sara.
Zak's pulse began to slow as he drifted into a trance. He tried speaking to her with his mind: Sara, I need you to hear me. I need you to stay with me. Stay with me, Sara. There is so much that we haven't had a chance to do. Don't leave me. Please.
In the realm resolving within his mind, he saw a figure who was not Sara. This woman was dressed all in black. She wore an off-the-shoulder blouse gathered at one side, faux leather pants, and black suede boots that came to her knees. Zak imagined the boots added at least another six inches to the woman's height. This was no ill-omened apparition, he knew: Death was never so fashion-forward.
As the scene grew clearer, he realized the woman was resting her head on the shoulder of someone else – and in that instant, he knew this someone else was Sara!
The women were watching something he couldn't yet see. And then it dawned on him: they were watching Sara's parents! Sara was in pain, and Zak could feel that pain. He could feel how desperately she wanted to join them. Stay with me baby, I can't lose you...come back to me, Sara.
