< >-Beginning and ending of Sara's dream sequence
Sorry for the confusion

~*~
The blade hissed on my wrist, but the deep red glow frightened me. Every thing around had grown dark; I couldn�t even see my own hand in front of my face. Then white flashes began to illuminate the room. Nottingham�s soft voice echoed into the air as images of him projected in front of me.

{I can no longer dwell on my hopes that one day you�ll see my true intentions and ask to become inseparable. I have given you all that I know: my love, my trust, and my soul.}

Recalling how I found you in my office, on my filing cabinet. Professing your love for me. Then telling me if I wanted, we could be inseparable. All I had to do was ask. The frustration and your offering coming out of left field, I said the first thing that came to my mind�

{Wishing, like a little boy, that all that I have given you would be returned. However, no matter how noble my actions were you still rejected me.}

�I called you a �Freak� then I noticed the same anguished expression I had seen earlier. I never would have thought that simple word would have hurt you. But how was I suppose to know?

{Soon Irons will see right through me and throw me out into the cold darkness.}

��Your darkness awaits you, Ian.�

{When that moment comes, I will do what I should have done a long time ago. Protect your honor by sacrificing mine. Through my eyes I have seen my immediate future and accepted my fate.}

��I came to say good-bye, Sara��

Every thing inside me went numb. I can�t believe my eyes. I stare incredulously as you sacrifice your life for mine. Quickly I run to you, my arms fleeting trying to hold your injured body before you fall to the ground, but I can�t. You drop to your knees and I remain helpless as I watch Dante walk behind you, raised his gun and fired the last round that would kill you. Your body goes limp and I know you�re gone forever. My anger and rage activated the blade on my arm, and I began to slash at Dante. Only to have it pass through him without a scratch.

Knowing it has no use here the Witchblade returns to its bracelet form. My heart breaks as I fall to my knees and watch your body fade away from my view. I want to reach out to you, but I can�t because it�s�only� a� dream.

{Now perched on your fire escape I continue my vigilance. Until one day my presence will no longer be needed.} >

A fervent tug from the blade reels me back into consciousness. I bolt up in bed, covered in my own sweat. I�m confused at first, and then I remember the dream and its outcome. I rush to my window, praying to God that your there.
