"Alice, Alice, wake up"  Dana whispered to the peacefully sleeping Alice,
although how she was still sleeping amazed her. A terrible storm had taken hold
on her arrival, the rain was hammering against the window, Dana was sure it was
going to break. Someone up there wasn’t happy and was taking it out on the
city and all who lived under it. So she decided a not so subtle approach was
needed "ALICE WAKE UP!!"

"Whh…what the fuck" Alice sat bolt upright in her bed "Who is it who’s there,
i have a weapon and i’m not afraid to use it" Scrambling out of bed Alice tried
to calculate in her mind where she could lay her hands on a suitable weapon of
destruction, but the room was so dark she tripped over her shoes falling
straight to the floor.

"Hahaha Alice, what are you like, you know there is nothing in this room that
could remotely hurt someone, especially me"

"Ok, i must be dreaming because i could swear i just heard Dana" Alice pinches
her arm "OWWW, Ok, not a dream, i must be tripping on some drugs i cant
remember taking, oh god im going mad, i mu………."

"Alice your not dreaming, tripping or mad i’m here, really here, well not
really here, im dead, but im here, oh you know what i mean"

"Jeezzee i see death hasn’t made you any more coherent Dana, ok Alice stop
talking to the voice in your head, its not there, its not there"

"just turn on the light Alice" Alice turned on the light to see Dana stood in
front of her.

"Oh my god, how, when, how, ok i need a scotch, a big bottle of scotch" Alice
walked to the sitting room picking up the bottle of scotch from the coffee
table, the contents already half drunk from the evening just passed in an
attempt to block out her pain and misery from the thought losing yet another
person she’d given her heart to. "I’m drunk aren’t I, your a drunken
hallucination, you have to be"

"Alice, dont be afraid of me and dont doubt what your seeing, im here to help
you, which is more than the bottle of scotch will do, just have the faith to
believe im here" Alice looked at the figure knelt in front her, those brown
eyes could always reach places no-one ever could, even now she could feel them
searching, begging for her to realise that it was Dana and it was in that
moment she knew Dana had come back for her. Alice placed her hand on Danas
cheek, she couldn’t feel her, but she hoped that Dana could feel her, know how
much she needed her.
