The sky turned from the dark night into the early morning yellow, which then turned into a grey start of the day. I wasn’t sure what time it was when I slipped out of the lab in need of some alone time, but I do know that my feet had carried me to the docks instead of the mansion I had been aiming for. Some part of me knew that maybe I would never see that mansion, or the rose garden with the baby rabbits again. That it was time to say good bye to a dream that I had created on a crumbling timeline.

I knew when we set off to come to this island that I wasn’t going to live, that I had hours or days to help those I caried about to survive. However, being the stubborn person that I was born as. Not only had I lived longer and cured myself. I had managed to save #Abby too. The family we had grown to become on this island had fractured for me, however they remained intact with one another. In a blink of an eye, I had become an outsider amongst those who I had promised my last dying breaths too.

The sound of a broken branch hit my ears before she spoke, the moment I realised who it was I understood that she made the sound so that I knew she was here with me.

‘Hanch mou gou Yu geimbreika gon hon daun?’ ( How much more time are you planning to take? )

“Time?” I move my eyes from the white stone obelisk, and rested them on the boat again. I had spent the morning hours counting the number of bullet holes in the side. Wondering how and why I thought it was a good idea to leave this place without all the hands we needed for help. “Time for what exactly?” I finally asked her as she came to sit beside me on the sun-bleached fallen log.  

‘Yu get in, gon chit.’ ( You know, for what. ) I still refused to look away from the water and the dead fish littering the  rocky shoreline. #Luna hadn’t told me about this, that things had become so bad so quickly.  

‘Sen ai op…’ ( Listen to me ) She placed a hand on my shoulder, slowly turning me to face her.

‘Ai get in.  Ai ge em.  Yu bash op.  Yu nai bastab y skwad.  Ba that’s Oso life.  Oso gon daun opleis deyon gon huk in em  gon  nes.  Emo gaf Yu.  Ai gaf Yu.  He gaf in Yu. ’

( I know. I get it. You’re hurt. You feel betrayed by a friendship. But that’s our life. We fight every way to make it to the next day. They need you. I need you. He needs you. )

My eyebrows pulled together as it took me a few moments to translate all that and then understand what she had been trying to tell me.

“That doesn’t help. And I am over it.” I was far from over anything, it was all weighting me down to the point that I had questioned my own worth to this group, now that I didn’t have the brain waves to help as fast as I once could have. Everything now took twice as long to complete.

When she saw the confusion in my eyes. #Luna started to speak in my tongue. ‘We both know you just lied to me. And you said they would be no lies.’

“I don’t have time for this conversation.” Picking up and throwing the ball sized rock into the sand. Anger spiking and making my blood rush up into my cheeks.

‘You will make time. Did you hear what I said to you? They all need you!’ #Luna stood up and placed herself in my sight line. ‘You are going to come back to the lab with me, you are going to show them they can have faith in you.’

My mind flashed back to the lab where they all would be around #Marcus as he awoke from the coma that #Jax and #Abby had placed him in.  “Just because they need me, doesn’t mean I lock myself down and just show up. I am only human Luna...”

‘Yes. It. Does.’ It was the blunt truth that only the #ZenMaster could give me.  ‘This is what our life is about. We all have a role to play. And have our responsibilities. Yours is to keep their hope alive. This is your burden to bear. And you will do it Rey, because of who you are…’

“It’s not fair Luna.” My eyes were burning because I knew it was the truth she showed in the mirror of her brown eyes.

‘Ai get in.’ ( I know. ) She bent down on her knees before me, placing her hands on both my heated cheeks to wipe away the tears rolling down them.  

“Why should I always be the beacon of hope for them all? Even when I have lost my way?” My voice broke into a million shards that no one could place back together. And I hated myself for it. After #Finn, I’d promised myself that I would never break again. That I would become as strong as this planet, who came back fighting each time people tried to break it.

‘Yu na nou bak daun en yu don bilaik hofli wan op!’ ( You cannot back down and have your hope die! ) #Luna’s forehead came to rest on mine.

We both sat there in silence, only the wavering sounds of my breathing breaking those moments from time to time. We stayed that way with her supporting me, until I knew that it was time.
