To Zach's horror, Keira's face had started to fade.
"What's going on?" He mumbled as he tried to hug Keira tightly. But then her body had also started to vanish, until he could no longer feel it.
"No… No… No!" He shouted as he tried to get a hold of her, but he couldn't. She had completely disappeared from his sight. 'No! This couldn't be a dream!' He was thrown into a panic as he kept mumbling, "No, please no… please…"
Then he heard Riley's voice calling him.
"General, wake up! General! Wake up, man! For goodness sake, wake up!" The sound of Riley's voice shouting at him loudly kept ringing in his ears, but he did not want to listen.
He was still busy looking around for Keira as he kept calling out her name, and nothing else seemed to matter to him at that moment.
Then Zach felt something hard hit his face. He instantly opened his eyes to see that it was a book. He removed the book from his face and slowly sat himself up.
