I slowly open my eyes. I look at my surroundings I am standing in the room we were in moments ago except this time there are tons of people. People are laying on the floor some crying some don't look responsive. I look down to see if I am injured but when I look down I see a ghost of myself, I lift my hand and I can see right through to the other side of the room. Through my hand I can see feet sticking out from underneath a table cloth, I slowly walk or in my case float over to the feet. I duck down under the cloth and see myself with Maxon, there is blood oozing through his shirt. I see the cloth move and someone ducks underneath my other self jumps expecting a rebel with a gun, but it is Aspen he wants to take Maxon but Maxon refused to go unless my other self is rescued first. I watch my other self leave with Aspen I myself stay with Maxon 
"Maxon, can you hear me?" I ask placing my invisible hands on his chest trying to stop the bleeding but my hands go straight through. I start to panic is this happening now has this already happened is this the future I'm not sure.
Maxon looks up he squints,
"Wow I really must be dying" he whispers.
Oh no I think, he starts to close his eyes I know this is a bad sign so.
"Maxon please stay with me" I say placing my hands on his face but they go right through his face.
"NO" I shout frustrated.
His breathing starts to get shallow, but somehow he manages to look up right to my eyes. I know he can't see me but something in my heart stirs.
"Maxon" I ask hopefully.
I don't get a response.
"You can't die, Maxon do you hear me? YOU CANT DIE" I shout.
My heart feels like it's breaking I didn't know I could feel this amount of pain for someone who I barely know. I start to breathe fast my sight starts to blur I can't see straight all I see is my dying husband on the floor.
"Maxon please" I beg.
"You can't leave me, I know for you it feels like we've known each other forever but I just started to get to know you, so you can't die" I say trying and failing to shake him.
He still looks up at me with blank eyes.
My eyes start to tear up soon enough I am crying so hard I can't even see.
"It's okay darling you will be fine" Maxon says so quietly I almost miss it.
He reached his hand up as if to stroke my face, I know now this isn't real he won't be able to touch me, but when his hand reaches my ghostly cheek our skin touches finally.
I gasp.
"Maxon" I whisper closing my eyes I hold onto the back of his hand wanting never to let go, suddenly everything come back.
The Selection.
Our friendship.
The tough times.
The deaths, the happiness, the tears.
Jacobs birth.
The rebel base.
This night, the night I thought I was going to lose Maxon forever.
I open my eyes to see Maxon smiling at me.
"If I'm dying at least someone up there was kind enough to give me an angel that looks like you" he whispers.
"Maxon, you saved me now I save you." I realize suddenly that it was me I saved Maxon that night, I bring my hands down to the wound on his chest hoping, praying that they don't slip through, they reach his chest and I feel my hands press against the fabric of his shirt that is sticky with blood. I keep my hands firmly against the wound,
"Maxon, look at me keep your eyes open" I say when I see his eyes slowly start to close. I desperately try to think of something that will keep him awake.
"Maxon make a promise to me?" I ask.
"Whatever you ask" he whispers.
"If you don't die tonight than I promise we will have a long happy life together with lots of kids and you can call me my dear when ever you like" I say, I search his eyes hoping he heard and understood me.
"I promise" he says.
I breathe a sigh of relief, the cloth outside stirs I know it's Aspen coming to retrieve Maxon. I lean down giving Maxon a final kiss.
I quietly back away from under the table and I watch from the shadows as Aspen carries Maxon to the hospital wing.
I walk through the halls of people being killed knowing I can't do anything about it. So I stare down at my hands the fresh blood glistening of my skin, I try and understand how all this is possible how my spirit traveled through time to reach this point and save Maxon, I think about it for a while taking turn after turn after turn through the castle. Finally I realize the answer. Love. My love for Maxon pulled me to this point and his love for me returned my memories. I finally glance up to see where I am and I realize I am just about to enter the hospital wing, I open the doors to reveal a bright white light I shield my eyes with my hands. This isn't right I know what a bright white light means,
"I can't die" I say
"I just got my memories back I need to go back please someone hear me let me go back" I beg.
But the white light doesn't listen it starts to consume the room chasing after me, I start to run faster than I ever have before. For a while I feel as if I have lost the white light but when I turn to check it is always there. I reach the last corridor that isn't consumed in white. I see a door I throw the doors open and slam then shut behind me I glance around the room to take in my surroundings, I am in my and Maxons room. I glance around to all the pictures he has of us and Jacob. The door bangs open and the white light starts to creep towards me there is nowhere left to run I grab my favourite photo of my family and run to the furthest corner of the room holding the photo to my chest.
"If I am to die, I will die with the ones I love" I say tears falling onto the picture.
I close my eyes and squeeze the picture tightly to my chest. I feel the lights warmth spread all over my body consuming me and making me feel as if I want this as if I want to leave my family.
As the last of the light consumes me I hear a voice shout no over and over again it sounds familiar but I can't quiet place it because I'm so tired.
My eyes start to droop with fatigue and say my finals goodbyes and I go to eternal sleep.
