Rahim thought about it a little. What had attracted him to Alidia in the first place? In almost no time he figured it out.
"I found her attractive because even though she was hurt badly in the passst, she had an inner ssstrength that was rare. And as for the quessstion of her being magical...yesss, she is." he answered them.

Alidia's eyes narrowed "Her past? What happened? Rahim..we need more information about her...whats she like...what makes her mad..sad.." Then Alidia's eyes soften "Honey go easy on him...Rahim...darling..what is she like?"

"She'sss very sssweet to me, very warm. When we firssst met, she wasn't put off by the way I look and we got to be friendsss. She told me of how a boy she onccce dated put a curssse on her and killed her family to have her all to himssself. We were in the sssame boat as it were. I guessss it was on a picnic we had together that we both realized that we loved each other." Rahim explained, looking back on that day and feeling a smile spread over his face.

Alidia's eyes soften "The poor dear..." and then her eyes harden "so..youve been together ever since? Do you have a ring?"

"Not yet, but I have every intention of marrying her. She deservesss happinessss after everything she'sss been through." Rahim answered, firmly. He loved her so much.

Alidia's eyes sparkled, "Awww Rahim, you do love her..." then Alidia smirked as her eyes soften "Do you two have a song?"

"Yesss, I do. And we do have a sssong. It'sss called My Heart Will Go On. She picked it." Rahim answered.

Alidia's eyes sparkled and she giggled. "Whats it sound like Rahim dearling?"

Rahim was a bit surprised by the question. He would think that his parents knew he couldn't sing when they died. Maybe he could surprise them with the fact that he could now.
"It sssoundsss like thisss." he began. He took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and began to sing for them.

Alidia gasped and was awestruck. "Rahim...youre singing..." Then something glittered. Alidia pointed to the golden chain and heart pendant. "Son, whats that?"

Rahim looked down at the heart shaped pendant Alidia had given him. He had almost forgotten it was there. He looked up again.
"She gave thisss to me. A gift that was tied to a charm bracccelet she wore. She alssso helped me to sssing. I don't know how she did it, but she did it." he explained.

Alidia looked at him with curiosity "Theres writing on it..." Alidia chuckled and rolled her eyes "Oh dear...Leave the boy alone to the love."

"Is there?" Rahim asked. He hadn't really looked carefully at the necklace she'd given him. If there was writing on it, he wouldn't have known until now.

Alidia nodded as she walked to him. "See," she pointed to it "Rahim and Alidia. True Love Forever Awww."

Rahim smiled at this. It was very romantic. He held the pendant and looked at it to be sure.
"She would put that on a gift to me." he commented.

Alidia's knees began to tremble. "Shes getting weak..we are using all of her energy..." Alidia placed her hand on Rahim's cheek and started to cry. "Until next time, my son. We love you." Then the spirits came out and disappeared. Alidia blacked out.

Rahim quickly caught Alidia and eased her to the ground. He looked up as he sensed the spirits of his parents leaving and watched them ascend. This was a moment he wished didn't have to end, but knew that it had to.
"I love you too. I missss you both, but I know you're in my heart." he whispered.

Alidia began to stir. "Oh my head...what happened?"

"My parentsss' ssspiritsss ssspoke to me through you. They were very proud of usss, Alidia." Rahim answered her, quickly.

Alidia weakly smiled as she rubbed his cheek and she gasped when she saw the pendent. "You finally found it. Oh Rahim, I love you so much.

Wild nights - Wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile - the winds -
To a Heart in port -
Done with the Compass -
Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden -
Ah - the Sea!
Might I but moor - tonight -
In thee!

"Emily Dickerson" Alidia said weakly

"Yesss, I found it. Don't worry, my dear. You should take it easy." Rahim coaxed her.

((Sorry im late....family issues growls))

Alidia smiled as she began closing her eyes. And rubbed his cheeks.

"Jussst relax, my dearessst. I'm right here. I'll keep you company." Rahim soothed her, rocking her back and forth slowly.

Alidia smiled as she woke up from the dream. She grabbed her head. "Oh man what a headache>"

Rahim slowly came out of his self induced sleep. He was glad to see that his theory had proven correct. He wasted no time in going to Alidia and seeing to her.
"Are you okay, Alidia?" Rahim asked her, just to be sure.
