Chapter 21

Wake Up Reeves… Wake up:

(Reeves is tossing and turning restlessly in his sleep as nightmares fill his mind, we enter Reeves mind and find him standing in a long dark alley way, it is clearly night time in his dream and the only light in the alley way are a series of flickering street lambs along the sides of the alley way. We see Reeves making his way through this alley way cautiously until suddenly Reeves hears a small crash causing Reeves to look of to his right only to see a homeless-looking old man disappear into the shadows as the street lights suddenly begin to flicker and faded and the sound of footsteps coming from behind begin to echo in Reeves ears causing his eyes to suddenly go wide with fear. Reeves begins to run down the alley way heart pounding with fear, finally Reeves reaches the end of the alley way only to now find himself in the middle of a snow covered cemetery standing before the grave of his wife. Tears fill Reeves's eyes as he kneels down and then placing a hand softly on the engraved name on the tombstone he says softly)

Reeves – no… no… not here… anywhere but here… I'm so sorry Natalie… I'm so sorry…

(Reeves just breaks down crying falling down to ground sobbing uncontrollably, Until suddenly he sense someone standing beside him starring down at him, he slowly looks up through tear filled eyes at the figure standing before him in disbelief as an all too familiar voice says to him stern yet warmly)

Natalie – get up Reeves, You can't keep running anymore, get up.

(Reeves pulls himself up and wraps his arms around Natalie's waist tightly, crying into her shoulder as begins speak with a voice racked with sobs)

Reeves- I'm so sorry for what I did to you… I'm sorry… I love you, I miss you so much.

(Natalie begins to stroke Reeves hair comfortingly as she says to him softly)

Natalie – I know… I know… It's alright. Listen to me Reeves. Time is running out and destiny is calling you forth. The girl Emma, you must protect her. A great darkness is coming and she must be kept safe. It is time for you to begin the destiny for which you were born. I love you Reeves and I will always be with you but you must move on… Emma needs you, and I need you to be strong for her and love her as you loved me okay?

Reeves – Alright.

Natalie – and as for the one called Mekta, love him and trust in him for your heart and his are connected by destiny and you must protect each other in the journey ahead.

(With that said Natalie kisses Reeves softly on the lips before softly whispering in his ear)

Natalie – wake up Reeves… wake up…

(And with that said light overwhelms Reeves and he finds himself back in his room covered in sweat)
