Prologue: As Pocahontas looked into her beloved�s eyes, she saw a pain she thought she could never know. The pain of losing the most important person in one�s life. �Pocahontas?� John�s soft voice called her out of her daze. �I said I�ll stay here with you.� �No.� she answered, cupping his cheek with her hand and he rubbed her own with his thumb. �You have to go.� But I can�t leave you.� John protested softly, wincing slightly from the pain of the wound. Pocahontas smiled softly at him. �You never will. You�ll always be with me. Forever in my heart.� With that she leaned down and gently brushed her lips with his. John kissed her back, the kiss deepening with every second. They clung tightly to one another for a short while. Finally John broke the kiss, coughing slightly. As the settlers lifted the stretcher. he whispered just loud enough for his love to here. �I love you. Wait for me.� Though sh e knew he couldn�t here her, she answered. �Always, my love, always.�
Two Years Later
�Pocahontas? Pocahontas, you�re doing it again.� Pocahontas snapped to attention at the sound of her friend�s voice. �Sorry.� she said. �I didn�t think anyone was around.� �you were thinking about John again, weren�t you.� It was more of a statement then a question. Pocahontas looked at her best friend with a sad smile. �How did you know.� �Trust me.� Nakoma said, sitting down next to her. �I know that look. But in all reality Pocahontas, it has been two years.� she said softly �I know.� Pocahontas said, lying her head on her friend�s shoulder. �It�s just that I still miss him so much and I still feel that he�s a part of me.� �But Pocahontas,� Nakoma said with caution. �Don�t you think that you were rushing things just a bit. I mean you only knew the man for maybe two weeks.� �Yes Nakoma, but;� Pocahontas stood up to walk to the edge of the cliff that overlooked the river. �But I felt something I had never felt before when I was with him. He was the first person to ever tell me that they loved me and somehow I knew he meant it. I mean, I miss everything about him. They feeling of his holding me close, they look in his eyes when he left, the way he kissed me,� �You�re glazing over Pocahontas.� Nakoma warned. �Sorry.� she said returning to her place in the grass. �It�s just that I wish you could have met him, Nakoma. I pray every night that he will come back to me.� �well, if it will make you happy, then I hope you wish comes true.� �Thanks Nakoma.� Pocahontas said, hugging her best friend. �So do I.� she said, a single tear rolling down her cheek. Nakoma smiled then remembered something. �oh.� she said. �I almost forgot why I came up here. Your father would like to see you for a moment.� �Oh, Of course.� Pocahontas said quickly wiping her eyes. �Come, I�ll walk with you.� Nakoma offered. The two then made their way to Powhaton�s hut.
