The fire spread behind the two of us, the sirens echoing through the air with the smoke forming as I heard her cries ring across my ear while I looked into my lover's eyes, handing him our beloved daughter. "I-I love you both..I've always loved you..Arthur and Sonia Leviticus.." I managed to stutter out despite the amount of blood I was losing and trickling down my lips. I could feel my life slowly slip away, every memory ever created flashing right before my eyes as my grip on his hoof began to slip, Both of my eyes slowly closing while my ears rang the last few words, "M-Maria...I can't live without you...you're my everything...I-I love y-..."

She takes my hands as more thunder rumbles and tears roll down my cheeks. "Breathe Anita," she says in a soothing whisper. My lungs were burning with the need for air and it was then that I realized I'd been holding it. I take in a gasping breath and recall the first time my eyes met her green eyes. My sister had been lifted off me and my eyes opening had startled her. The first time she touched me gave me strength to hold on. I held her hand tight, trying to tell her what happened, but couldn't get enough breath to form words. Sitting in the present going through the same as I had five years ago. "They were all found, Anita. They can't hurt you anymore. It's just a storm. All the doors and windows are locked, the alarm is set. It's just you and me."
