"It's okay Allana... We're all okay now..."

"Are we?"

Vince's eyes came open and he pulled her closer to him. "As much as we can be Ally."

"What do we do now V?"

"You go on. You try and make it through the funeral, and you help Reighn get ready for her wedding... Just because Relec is gone doesn't mean everything has to stop. He'd want you to go on." Vince replied, pulling Alanna closer and inhaling the scent of her shampoo.

"I'll try Vince."

"Reighn?!"

Allana looked up from her bowl of cereal at the sound of Kittie's voice. Reighn stood in the doorway, dressed and ready for the day - nearly. The light that was usually behind her eyes was gone, and her face was drawn and pale. Allana blinked as she noticed everyone staring at her, then stood and walked over, wrapping the older woman in her arms. Reighn leaned into her enbrace, nearly sagging into the silent strength that Allana was offering. Another pair of arms encircled them as Kittie joined the group hug. When they pulled away Leon walked over and wrapped Reighn in his arms. Allana walked back over to Vince and sat next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder as his arm came around her.

Dom cleared his throat. "So... What's everyone doing today?"

"Working." Letty and Mia replied at the same time.

"Finishing the new car we got in," Brian replied.

Jesse shrugged and warpped an arm around Kittie, "I'm gonna spend today with Kittie."

"Same with me." Vince replied, half-hugging Allana.

Leon remained silent before pursing his lips in thought, "I think that Reighn and I will spend some alone time and then go up and see my parents..."

"Dom?"

Everyone looked over at Reighn, seeing as it was the first time she'd spoken all morning, and that her voice was extreemly soft and timid. "Yeah?"

"My - my Skyline needs a little bit of body work... Could you?"

Dom smiled softly as she trailed off, "Sure."

"I'll help him chica." Letty said, "You go spend the day with your man and try and forget all of this - even if it's just for a little while."

Allana watched as Reighn and Leon left the room and then looked up at Vince. "So, where are we going?"

He smiled slightly and stood, pulling her with him as he headed for the door, shouts of goodbye following them as Allana let out a colourful curse and grabbed her crutches as they passed them.

"So, where exactly are you taking me?" Allana questioned, looking over at Vince.

He glanced at her before returning his gaze to the road in front of them. "You'll see... It's time to let go."

Allana was confused, but remained silent, leaning back in her seat and watching the scenery go by. Her curiosity overcame her as Vince turned onto an oceanside freeway and sped up. Then it hit her, he was taking her back to the site of the accident. Her grip tightened on the door handle as they approached, and after what seemed like eternity, Vince pulled over and looked at her. Allana took a deep breath and got out of the car, grabbing her crutches and going over to the edge of the cliff. The guard railing was twisted where her car had gone through, and an entire section was gone. A glance over the edge revealed that the wreakage had been cleared away, and the only evidence remaining were the scorch marks on the rocks. Allana blinked and stared off into the horizon as the wind played with her hair. She closed her eyes and took another deep breath, letting her memories take her away.

Warm arms surrounded her just as it got to the part where Vince arrived. She looked up at him and leaned back into his embrace as she remembered the only words of any meaning that he'd said the helicopter.

"Allana. Don't leave me, I need you."

"I need you too Vince."

"Huh?"

She looked up at him and smiled softly. "In the helicopter, just before I passed out you said that you need me."

He returned her smile. "I do. You help keep me sane, you're my light in all this blackness."

Allana turned to face him, dropping the crutches to the side as he supported her wieght. He placed a hand on her cheek, caressing it. "I am?"

"Yeah, you are."

She smiled. "I need you Vince, will you be my light?"

"Of course I will Allana. Of course I will."

He pulled her into his arms and she leaned her head on his shoulder. He placed his head on top of hers and held onto her as they stared out into the ocean.
