Last time:

The next few seconds seemed to be in slow motion. Jaden's eyes closed, the fire stopped, I reached to touch his face but he fell before I could, and then every thing went black.

'Jaden,'

Now with Jaden: Jaden's P.O.V

I looked around in the dark room. It hurt, every muscle, every inch of my flesh hurt like hell. Even in my mind I could feel the blood pooling around me, even though I couldn't see it.

'Why?'

I looked up and saw Shadow standing over me. He wasn't looking at me, instead choosing to look at his feet. I was about to ask him what he meant when he seamed to read my mind, which I guess he could.

'Why did you save her?!' he asked. I was dumbstruck by the question. I mean, what type of question is that? 'Why did I save her?' Was I supposed to let her die? 'Why? You didn't save me; you didn't even bother to look back,'

My heart skipped a beat as I realized what he meant. I looked down, feeling ashamed. I never even knew about him, I had no idea that he needed saving back then. I wish I had though, if I had only known then I could have stopped all of this from ever happening.

'Answer me,' his voice sounded desperate and I could tell he was crying by the pitch of it. Well, that and the fact that he was trembling. He looked like a helpless child, and in a way he was. After all, he was only a child when he died, and even though he doesn't look like it he really hasn't grown since then.

He died a helpless child, strike that, he died a scared abandoned helpless child.

I should have saved him.

Before I realized it I was standing, and even though it hurt just doing that I walked over to him. He looked up at me and tried to back away. 'What are you doing?' he asked in a small scared voice.

'Watch and see,' I said. He continued to back away.

'No! I don't want to! Just tell me what you're doing!' he yelled, squinting his eyes shut and using his arms as a shield. He fell backwards and I could hear him sobbing. I continued to walk towards him until I was standing right in front of him. He looked up and I could see his wet red face as more tears started streaming down his cheeks.

I sat down in front of him and he prepared himself for pain. He thought I was going to hurt him. He thought that I was going to get him back for what he'd been doing, but I wasn't.

Instead I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a hug. He snuggled into my embrace and continued to cry. I decided to sooth him by petting his hair.

He looked up at me and sniffled. He wasn't the one that had tortured me, he wasn't the one that had tried to kill me, and he wasn't that person. He was just a child, a child that only wanted to bee seen; a child that only wanted to be loved.

'Thank you,' he said and kissed my cheek before he disappeared. He was finally able to rest in peace.

In real life (still in Jaden's P.O.V)

I woke up in a hospital room. I was covered in bandages and was hooked up to who knows how many machines. But I didn't notice any of that. What I noticed were the faces of my friends as they stared at me with relief.

"Jaden!" Syrus yelled. I could tell that he wanted to hug me, thankfully he was waiting till I was in better condition.

"Nice to see you back in the land of the living," Bastion said.

"Yea, we didn't think that you would ever wake up," Chazz said. I ignored their comments and looked around.

"You okay serge?" Hasslebarry asked.

"Where's Alexis?" I asked. They all smiled and I watched as one of them pulled a curtain to reveal a bed next to mine, and there she was. Sleeping, not dead, and I sighed a sigh of relief. And with that I closed my eyes and fell back asleep knowing that every thing was going to be alright.

~~~ A few weeks later ~~~

"Jaden, do we have to come back here?" Syrus asked from behind me.

"Yes, we do,"

"But why?" he asked. He was the only one that was speaking his complaints, but I could tell he wasn't the only one with them. I sighed.

"Just because," and with that I continued walking and they continued following until we got to the old burn down barn. I smiled at seeing that some grass had finally begun to grow again.

I walked to a certain spot and bent down. I placed the vase of flowers that I'd been carrying down and then pried. I could tell that my friends were confused, but I didn't care.

After a few moments I finished my prier with the words 'rest in peace my little light shadow,' and then we all left. My friends gave me plenty of odd looks and asked me what I had prayed, but I wouldn't tell them anything.

"Thank you Jaden, for saving me,"
