"Is he the same.. ?" Sean asked almost inaudibly.

   "Uncle Russell said the name was popular back in his days so it might not be the same person." I said trying to convince him and even myself.

   "Hey kids." uncle Russell said jogging towards us, "Kharly just texted me. She told me what happened." he said and Sean looked down sadly, "don't worry, I'm going to make sure nothing happens to your dad." Uncle Russell added reassuringly and Sean nodded.

   "Do you know Fredrick's son's name?" I asked uncle Russell and Sean looked up immediately.

   "I think it's Marcus, why?" Oh no, Sean stood up immediately and left.

   "That's Sean's dad's room." I said pointing at the room door while standing up, "Can you stay here for some time, please?" I pleaded running after Sean.

  I went to the parking lot and saw him waiting by his car. "Sean!" I called out and he turned towards me. I heard him say something like 'bye Scarlett' on the phone but I was not sure.

  "Are you coming?"he asked opening the car.

  "Where are we going?" I asked.

   "To uncle Russell's house." he replied starting the car.

   "Why?" I asked him putting on my seat belt. He just focused on the road ahead and didn't say a word again. I studied his face and saw the tear stains on his cheeks and his red eyes. It hurts to know he's hurting.
********
   When we arrived, I saw Scarlett sitting on the stairs in front of the door. I came out of the car and she stood up.

   "Hey Scarlett." I said opening the front door. Scarlett and Sean came in and I hung my coat.

   "Did you guys get a heart from the hospital or something?" Scarlett asked and I looked at her confused.

   "What are you talking about?" I asked and she looked at Sean.

    " I can't sit still and watch my dad die. I want to talk to Azura-" he looked at me, " - and give her what she wants to save my dad" he said and I snapped.

   "Are you crazy?!" I asked annoyed, "I understand you want to save your dad but sacrificing yourself is just stupid. What do you want your dad to do? Wake up and realize he doesn't have a wife and son? Use your brain Sean." I said and Sean looked away.

   "I'll um.. I'll give you two a minute." Scarlett said walking away.

   "What do you want me to do then? My dad's birthday is on Sunday. At this rate, he has less than four days to live. Camilla, you should see where I'm coming from, I can't let my dad die." he said sadly.

    "Look." I said putting my hand on his cheek, "he's not going to die. We'll find a solution. You've already lost one, it's not fair that you loose another." I said and Sean sighed. He drew me closer and put his head on my shoulder. I hugged him tightly, only God knows the pain he's feeling. I heard someone clear their throat and I remembered Scarlett was here. I pulled away from Sean and looked at her.

   "I don't mean to disturb you two but should I come back later or... ?" She said nervously

   "No, we have to summon Azura." I said.

********
   "I didn't expect you kids to come back quickly." Azura said, "do you have what I asked for?"

   "Isn't there any other thing you want?" I asked her and she frowned.

   "So you don't have the heart." she stated, "There is one thing I really want though." she said

   "What do you want?" Scarlett asked immediately.

    "A body." she said, "Years ago, the council caught up with me because of a few things they found out I did. They cast my spirit out of my body and banished me here. Anyone who knew me at that time would tell you I died then. I need to get out of this place, so get me a body I can possess in the meantime." so that's why that old man said Azura is dead. "So are you going to get the body or not?" For a second, I remembered Sean's mother who just died but I shook it off, it'd be inhumane to bring up something like that. I looked at Scarlett then at Sean. Sean was giving me a strange look like he was thinking of the same thing.

   "What if the body is injured due to an accident?" Sean asked, his voice breaking at the end.

   "Anyhow it is, just bring it." she said and Sean nodded avoiding my eye contact,"Summon me when you have the body." and she left.

   "Sean, are you sure of what you want to do?" Scarlett asked him concerned and he nodded.

   "As Camilla said, I've already lost one, it's not fair I loose another one. My dad is all I got now, I need to save him." Sean said and I smiled sadly at him.

   "Wait a minute " Scarlett suddenly said, "how do we get her out of the hospital?"
********
   "I just told uncle Russell everything. He said he'd help us take the body from the hospital" I told Sean and he nodded, "are you sure of this?"

   "Yeah, I'm pretty sure." he sighed. Scarlett entered the backseat and Sean started the car.

   We met the mortician who just looked at us strangely.

   "Are you lost?" He asked us, you don't blame him for his question, it's not everyday that you see three teenagers in a morgue.

   "Um.. my.. my mum died today and her body was sent here. I want to take her home and hold a funeral for her." Sean explained breathing heavily and I held his hand.

   "Oh ok" the mortician said putting on his glasses, "you just have to sign -" his phone on the table rang and he raised his hand signalling us to wait, "yes, there are three teens here. Ok.. are you Sean Stewart?" He asked Sean and Sean nodded, " yes sir, I'll do that right away." the man said hanging up the phone. "I'll prepare an ambulance for you. Sorry for your loss." he said standing up.

   We went back to the car and the ambulance was already parked behind is waiting for us to move. Sean entered the car and placed his head on the steering wheel.

   "Are you ok?" Scarlett asked him and he nodded raising his head.

   "I'm fine." he said trying to smile but he failed completely, "let's go." Scarlett and I entered the car and Sean drove off. The ambulance followed the car. My heart was clogged up knowing that right behind us was the body of aunt Eva lying still, lifeless. I looked out the window sadly wondering how short life is. The death of a loved one is the hardest thing anyone can witness. It hurts knowing you won't see them again, it hurts so much.
