My time is almost gone. Hear and heed what I say, now. Once the Elder Council is destroyed, those like me will come back to you and live on the Earth. We are waiting for Our Queen of Light to release us. Please my Queen of Light… Bring us back? My children, Laura, Hameal and I will come back to our loves but no one else can do it but you.
Charmeine got up to talk to Tabbruis and she became unsteady.
Tabbruis saw her wobble and picked her up. He noticed that she felt like jelly in his hands. Tabbruis could tell she was exhausted and whisked her to their Master Suite. One minute later, Tabbruis put her on the edge of the bed.
Charmeine said, “You have to stop using that superhuman speed of yours, it makes a girl dizzy.”
Tabbruis started taking off her clothes, and she stopped his hand.
Charmeine smiled and said, “Tabbruis I know you are going to think I’m crazy; however, would you to just massage my back. I need to relax. Would you mind terribly?”
Tabbruis smiled and said, “Not at all.”
He finished undressing Charmeine and then put a towel on her. She stretched out on the bed face down. Her hands dangled over the side and he put a pillow under her chin. Tabbruis opened up the terrace doors to let the sea breeze in which he knew she liked.
When Charmeine felt the sea breeze hit her in the face, she was thankful.

All of a sudden, Charmeine smelled roses. Tabbruis began rubbing her back with the rose lotion she loved. She sighed and said, “That smells and feels like Heaven.”
Tabbruis asked, “Your Heaven?”
She answered with a smile, “Oh yes, my Heaven.”
Tabbruis said, “Well, we must be neighbors because this is part of my Heaven too.” He knew Charmeine was very tired and whispered in her ear, “When you are rested my love everything will come into focus. For right now, just feel peaceful.” Tabbruis kept on massaging her shoulders and neck. He could feel the tension in her muscles.
He said, “Focus on being calm and breath deep. I am here. I will be here always for you Charmeine. Sleep now.”
Tabbruis could not help himself from putting his hands on her. Charmeine’s skin and body were perfect. He slowly rubbed her neck, head and shoulders until he knew she was completely relaxed.
Charmeine had closed her eyes.
Tabbruis could see she needed rest. He picked her up and laid her in the bed covering her with a light sheet. Tabbruis got ready for bed and turned all the lights off. Moonlight was all around the room.
Sleepily, Charmeine said, “Tabbruis, I want to sleep in your arms feeling your skin against me.”
Tabbruis smiled wide, “I would like nothing better,” and with a flash, he was back under the covers and patted his bare chest beckoning her to come to him.
Yawning, she said, “How can you always be this damn sexy?”
Tabbruis made a small laugh and said, “You have no idea how sexy you are.”
Charmeine slid next to Tabbruis and wrapped herself around him with her head resting on his chest. Tabbruis’ heartbeat calmed Charmeine. She said, “Good thing we are married. We are two peas in a pod who love each other.”

“Accendo light the love”

Tabbruis smiled rubbing her arm and said, “Two peas who need each other.”
Charmeine said slowly as she was drifting off to sleep, “Two peas in a pod who would die for each other…”
Tabbruis’ heart fell.
Charmeine was saying in her sleep what had been on her mind all along. She was sure sacrificing herself was the only way to save her family.
Tabbruis held Charmeine praying, “God, please let me help and protect her.”
He saw her sweet smile on her lips and it comforted him. Tabbruis leaned down and kissed her. Then he began to sleep contently holding Charmeine tightly in his arms.
