THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!

     Now, true to his word, Charles did an excellent job of keeping our Lexa sedated over the next few days and this was the only way she could make it through the funeral, afterall she was attending her own funeral, in a way, for everyone who had come, from far and wide, had come to pay their last respects to Lexa Hale, but her she was, flesh and blood, very much alive. In a near catatonic state, comfortably numb to the deep emotional pain, and turmoil whirling about inside her like a storm; which the small doses of thorazine helped to calm the tempest in her heart and mind. So there she sat, veiled in black, her mother was their beside her and Xation was on her right, holding her hand as she sat there sightly shaking, in shock, unable to cry as everyone was weeping around her in the little mission in Villa de Rosa, just west of the Estate. They dared not hold the funeral in the city, for when the news had reached the people of South America they were all horrified to learn of the scandalous double murder/suicide and many blamed Lexa for the loss of their beloved, prized boxer, and when the news reached America many in the Golf world blamed the boxer/ lothario for the loss of their beloved, sexy L.P.G.A. star. Lexa glanced around at all the familiar faces she recognized of friends, colleagues and former competitors whom had shown up to say goodbye, and this touched her heart deeply, but she held back the tears as the priest gave a heart lifting eulogy for her, and this did Lexa's soul good to hear. Now, as the hour passed, Lexa listened as her father got up before the congregation and spoke next, through tears, thanking all those who had attended and asking them for their prayers for the family. Then the old priest led everyone in a prayer for the departed, with bowed heads they all gave up a unified prayer to their God, then everyone went, forming a line passing by the closed casket to pay their last and final respects. Lexa watched as many of the women placed a single white rose on top of the coffin, she found she could not bring herself to stand up and go to say goodbye. So Lexa turned to her mother and said "Mom.., I want to be the last one to go."
     "That's fine sweet heart, whatever you want." Sharon said her heart as heavy as a stone at the tragic loss of her beautiful angel.
      Charles went, pausing for a long while and he left a little note among the garland of flowers, it was written by his own hand and it read, I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER! Serena and Felina came next and they placed two roses for her and each woman was filled with tears as they wept holding each other as they passed, this was very touching for Lexa to see, for she had always believed Felina had hated her, and her dead sister Leah. Lexa then watched as Bengiman paused in front of the coffin, he placed one his massive hands upon it, bowed his head and said a silent prayer, and then he spoke and he whispered to the dead "I should have been there to protect you, Lexa."
     Now Hays heard this as he stood next to the broken hearted Englishman laying his hands on his strong shoulders telling him "Bengiman, it's alright, there was nothing you could do. Let her go, let her go easy." he said trying to console both the living and the dead.
     The last of the three went next, as Lexa still sat in the pew the last one seated, as everyone else solemnly filed out of the old white mission as the bells began to toll. Xation followed Hays and he too stopped and said his goodbye, then Garreth and Sharon, the dead woman's parents, lingered at the casket of their murdered daughter then her mother covered her eyes and wept, then Garreth beckoned to his remaining child to come over to the coffin and say goodbye. Lexa took in a deep breath and she summoned up the courage of her ancestors and she rose up, knees slightly shaking, muscles as tense as wires, slowly, inch by inch she came closer, this was the hardest burden she would ever be forced to bear, the desolation she felt was overhelming, the level of despair and all the trauma she had surpressed with high powered drugs could no longer be contained, this is when the tears came, streaming down her face, the plaintiff wails of her voice echoing off the stone walls filling the space with the sound of her grief. Here Lexa had the overwhleming urge to open up the casket and look at her sister's face, just one more time, but due to her injuries, near decaptiation, the coffin lid had been sealed shut. So infront of God, and everyone that remained inside the old mission that day, witnessed Lexa as she bent down over the casket wrapping her arms around it, as if trying to embrace her dead sister, this was so sad, and touching, a loving display of affection from the living to the dead, but as Lexa wept she grasped the casket tighter, and did not want to ever let go. Xation gave her a moment, however, when three minutes passed, four minutes passed, the display of love and affection now was becoming unsettliing and disturbing, so Xation went over and put his hands on his wife's shoulders saying "Leah, come on.., now, we have to let her go."
     "No." she said through tears, clutching the coffin even tighter, her head turned to the left resting upon the roses and garlands of flowers, and Lexa wanted to stay like this forever, but most of all she wanted to climb inside the long wooden box and sleep forever with her sister.
     This sight was unbearable for her mother and father to watch "Leah, sweetie, come on now they have to take her away, so she can be cremated, so we can bring her home with us."
     "No!" she proclaimed.
     Here Xation reached down taking her by the wrists doing his best to gently pull his wife off of her sister's coffin. This was a little difficult, as Leah seemed to possess an amazing strength but through her bitter tears and moans of regret Xation was able to get her grip loose and then she turned to Xation and collapsed in his arms, burying her face in his chest, crying like a dying animal. Lexa was uncertain of what happened next, all she remembered was waking up in bed.., in her sister's bed upstairs, with Xation sitting there beside her holding her hand "What? What happened?" she asked confused with no memomry of how she got back to the Estate.
    "Oh my love, you fainted, but you are home now.., safe and sound." well, she was safe, but far from sound. "How are you feeling?"
     "Like I want to die." Lexa replied in all honesty.
     "Sweet heart, do not say that! I need you very much alive! Your son needs you very much alive! We all need you very much alive!" Xation said trying to show his love and affection "Leah.., I want you to know that I don't think I could live my life without you."
     Lexa gave Xation a little smile then she sat up in Leah's bed complaining to her 'husband' of a headache, to which Xation suggested she eat some food, as she had not eaten in days, she agreed and Xation went to get her something to eat. Now, while he was down in the kitchen, Lexa crept out of the master suite and went down stairs, through the hall to her room. She opened up the door and went in locking her bedroom door behind her. It would be 2 days before she would come out, refusing to see, or speak with anyone. Leaving her family members to grow more concerned for her health and sanity.
     It was only when her mother and father came knocking upon the door telling her they had brought her sister back, they had her ashes and they wanted her to open the door so she could see the urn and the engravings. Here Lexa threw open the door and hurried her parents inside. "You brought her back to me!"  she exclaimed, but when she looked at the urn she started to laugh, and this was quite disturbing to her parents, as well as Xation, who was eaves-dropping on the otherside of the locked door. "It's a cube!" she said through fits of laughter, and it was a bronze cube with the name, birth date and death date, of the deceased along with a few symbols in a golf motif.
      "What is so God damn funny young lady?" her mother asked mortified by her daughters reaction to the sight of her sisters ashes, as she and her husband entered the dimly lit room; which smelled of tears and sweat, their daughter looking wide eyed and disturbed, her hair a disheveled mess, wearing a stained, wrinkled nightgown.
       "It's a metal cube.., like the Borg, from Star-Trek.., she has been assimilated!" here Lexa laughed some more for she and Leah used to love to watch that sci-fi show, the Borg episodes being amomg their favorite. "I guess, in the end, we all will be assimilated, resitance is futile." here Lexa snatched the heavy square box and jumped in bed with it, setting the small cube on the pillow next to her as she covered herself under the comfort of her warm blanket, then she turned to her parents and told them " The Police sent me her purse and passport.., and now I have her back with me, we are all together, but we are very tired.., so if you don't mind..,will you leave us alone now? We would like very much to go back sleep."
     Garreth and Sharon knew instantly something was terribly wrong in their daughter's fragile state of mind, but they said nothing of this to her, only stepping out quietly from the room, where they found their son-in-law in the hall and this is when they began their disccussion about Leah's mental health, and the sort of help they might be able to find for her. "Come let us step outside and get some fresh air by the pool so we can discuss this troubling matter further, in private." Xation said in a hushed voice.
     So the three went outside sitting by the moon-lit pool on that crisp, autumn night deciding what sort of treatment would be right for Leah, as they all knew by her behavior, and the trauma she had endured, they feared she was losing her mind, and Lexa, herself, could feel all sanity flowing away from her like lava down the side of volcano. The conversation was well underway when Lexa could hear voices from outside her window, so she got up out of bed, clutching the urn of ashes close to her chest as she went over sneaking out onto the patio, where she went, undiscovered, as she heard her family talking about sending her away to a private mental institution. Here her heart and mind raced in a panic and Lexa knew she had to do something fast to save her ass from being locked away forever. She had to escape and get away, this she was most sure of, Lexa had to figure out how to get away from this rich and powerful man, her 'husband' Xation Day, terrified and most fearful, Lexa snuck back into her room locking all the doors for she needed time to think.
     Several hours had passed, it was well after the midnight hour, everyone had settled down and gone to bed, but not our Lexa, her clever mind was still intact, and she had settled on a course of action, her mind had found a line of escape, and it's direction was known to her, absolute trust in herself kept our Lexa going in the right direction, to the extent she was determined her escape would prove to be a good thing, and in the end this is how it all traspired.
     Step 1: The Seduction and a Secured Promise. Lexa arose from her bed, a little after one in the a.m., she bathed herself for the first time in days, shaving her legs and the rest of herself in the hot soapy water, washing and conditioning her long golden locks, preparing herself for what she must do. She rubbed sweet almond oil into her wet, supple skin before she slipped on a pair of black fishnet stockings and matching garter belt, this was needed to cover her abdomn for she could not dare let Xation see she did not bear Leah's c-section scar and figure out who she really was. Lexa turned going over to her sister's urn saying "Please forgive me for what I am about to do Leah, and I love you." She sealed her words with a kiss upon the cold metal box. Then she stood wrapping up in a emerald-green silk robe, Lexa crept through the long dark hall of the quiet house as all lay sleeping snug in their beds. Lexa slowlyly tip-toed up the marble stairs, making her way to Leah and Xation's room with out a sound, her heart racing, palms sweating as she tried to take in a few breaths to calm down. Gently Lexa opened up the bedroom door, in the darkness she could just make out by the light of the moon through the window, Xation was lying on his back with a thin sheet covering his naked body. Lexa went over to her sister's vanity table, spritzing on a little of Leah's perfume, the delicious scent of jasmine and lilys; which instantly reminded Lexa of Leah and she could feel her presence with her as she walked over to the bed.
     As Xation slept Lexa slid her robe off wearing only the stockings and garter belt, her naked breasts felt the chill in the air as she climbed up in bed and on top of Xation straddling his lap as he slept. He awoke to feel the warmth of her hips pressing on his pelvis through the thin sheet. "Leah?" Xation said delighted with this surprise.
     "Xation..," she said in a whisper, as if Lexa did not want anyone else to hear, though the couple was quite alone in the bedchamber. "I am so sorry for the way I have been behaving." she apologized to him convincingly enough.
     "Oh Leah, please.., I understand how hard this has been on you, and I wish you would tell me, what it is I can do to help you." Xation said as he sighed rubbing the outside of her thighs with his hands softly with a gentle touch that felt good against Lexa's skin.
     "Xation.., there is something I want to do, to get my mind off of.., all of this.., sadness." she said in a whipser.
     "What can I do for you.., or to you?" Xation smiled with a little laugh reaching up and carressing her firm round breasts.
      "I want to go away.., take me on a nice vacation, just the two of us.., and I want to leave tomorrow." Lexa said this time her voice not so timid.
      "Where shall I take you, my beautiful bride?" Xation replied as he lie there looking up at his gorgeous wife, whom seemed to be back to her old self.
     "I've never been to Costa Rica. I've seen pictures of the beaches and the rainforests.., wouldn't that be nice, to be alone together in the ocean like that night on Lanai." Lexa said well aware of what transpired that night as her sister Leah would tell her every detail about her affairs.
     "Why I beleive that is the best idea I have heard all year!" Xation sat up with his wife straddling his lap as he embraced her tightly giving her deep and long, passionate kisses, to which Lexa responded, afterall, eventhough this was technically her brother-in-law, he was a flesh and blood man, and her sister, his wife was dead, so Lexa kissed him back and the tension that had been restrained within her, for days now, slowly began to let loose of her body and mind and fade away.
     Between her legs she could feel Xation's growing, rock-hard erection then she slowly rose up a little pulling the silk sheet from off his crotch, she looked down at her brother-in law and licked her lips as her pupils dilated and she said "I'm ready for." Xation slipped himself inside the warmth of her body then she added "But you must be gentle with me tonight, for I do not have much strength inside of me, alright?"
     " Yes.., slow and sweet.., for my sweetness." Xation said as he rolled her over on her back in an unbroken seductive motion as he laid himself upon her, deep inside her slowly with kisses on the mouth, and Lexa knew now, first hand, through Xation's ease and  tenderness just how much he really did love his Leah, our poor dead Leah, and this broke Lexa's heart to know. Though it was somehow strange, for as she found herself in Xation's arms, with him slipping himself ever so sweetly in and out of her,  Lexa, somehow felt closer to Leah there in Leah's husband's arms. So Lexa let go and cast away all restraint, fully allowing Xation to free her from all the physical stress in every inch of her tense muscles, in any form possible, she let herself go with the flow, for this was all to serve her purpose and that was a way out.
     True to his word, Xation made all the arrangements neccesary for their spontaneous, romantic trip to Costa Rica, and by dinner time the next day the two sat on the terrace of their hotel looking out over the Pacific Ocean just as the sun began to set. They enjoyed a nice dinner together, however, Xation had no idea it would be their last. Now Lexa made sure to get Xation nice and drunk at the table that night, so when they shared a bed together again, tonight, he would be less in a clear state of mind, and our Lexa was a fit American girl who could out drink a house full of frat boys, so she ordered two more bottles of expensive red wine, and by the time Xation wound up in bed, and Lexa had come out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth, our inebriated Xation was passed out, fast asleep. This is exactly what she needed, so Lexa curled up under the covers beside Xation sharing a bed with him one last time.    
     Many thoughts raced through her mind as she lie there, Lexa needed to rest but she was afraid of what dreams might come, but a wee bit after midnight Lexa nodded off and she dreamed a dream, and in this dream she was walking along a hillside covered over with the most beautiful flowers of all shades of lavender, pinks, blues, she heard the angelic voice of a woman singing sweetly coming from the other side of the hill. Lexa walked on in the brightest sunshine over the ridge, and when she looked down into the greenest valley where she saw a woman with long golden curls sitting with her back to her. Lexa called out "Hello?" then a gentle breeze blew arcoss the hillside lifting her hair and the woman stopped her melodious singing a turned in a robe of golden splendor, saying nothing only smiling a peaceful smile. Lexa recognized her face, for it was the face of her sister, but not the ghost of a shell she had seen before on the end of the bed all injured and bleeding, no, for here she had radiant eyes with incandescent skin and she radiated a warmthness of pure energy. "Leah!" Lexa cried out as she opened up her eyes. It was nearly morning and soon it would be time.
     Step 2: The Escape. "Xation, sweet heart." Lexa said a little after 8:00 a.m. "How are you feeling this morning?"
     Xation opened is bleary eyes feeling like there was a Roman carnival taking place in his brain "O fuck! My head is killing me." Xation complained as he closed his eyes pulling the covers over his face sheilding himself from the early morning light.
     "Ah, let me get you some asprin." Lexa said kindly tending to her 'husband' and his hangover, however the pills Xation swallowed were not a mild anelgesic, no, but 500 milligrams of Nembutal. "There you go." Lexa said taking the glass of water and setting it on the nightstand, then she sat on the bed and looked down at Xation Day, one last time, and she told him "Listen, you go back to bed, I am booked down in the spa for a facial and massage. I'll be back in about two hours, so order some roomservice if you want breakfast and then we will go down to the beach when I come back." she promised telling him lies.
     "Leah, wait." Xation said as Lexa's heart began to race.
     "Yes, Xation?" Lexa said looking nervously in his dark eyes, hoping, praying, this was the last time she would ever have to see him in her life.
      "I am so glad you wanted to come here, away with me, alone. You might not know this.., but you make me so happy." he said with great joy in his eyes.
      Here the gravity of her situation, and the unknown danger of this new adventure, she was about to embark on, made her stop and think, and for a brief second, as Leah looked upon Xation's handsome face, all the memories she had of him and Leah, and Charles and Bengiman, everything, and all of it, flashed before her eyes, but once again she summond up the courage of her ancestors, a warrior people, and she smiled  gently touching Xation's face then bent down giving him a brief, loving farewell kiss "Always remember how much I love you." Lexa said strictly speaking for her sister. Then she touched his hand and said "Goodbye sweet heart, go back to sleep.., I will be back before noon." with that Lexa picked up her purse, her purse the one the police had shipped back, then she quietly left the room.
     Now Nembutal and alcohol should never be mixed and when Xation woke up 16 hours later, just before midnight, he found his wife gone, just a handwritten note on the  pillow beside him, and when he switched on the light, Xation snatched up the letter and this is what he read.
     Dearest Darling Xation Day,
     By the time you read this I will be long gone, far away. I am so sorry to do this to you and put our family through this, but since I have lost my sister, nothing will ever be the same, and I don't know if I will ever feel right again. I know I can not face you, beacuse I do now know what to say, but I do not want to be locked up in an institution, I am not insane., and if I am., then no one is safe. Please forgive me, but I went to sell the engagement ring you gave me, and my wedding band so I can have some money to live on and get out of South America. I do not know where I am going, but please take care of Jason, I am afraid, if I am insane, I should never be around our son. I know you and your sisters, and parents, and Bengiman and Charles will all be much better off without me. And I promise.., I will never bother you, I will crawl away for good, because I know I am not right. Please do not try to find me, because I do not wish to be found, I will only bring everyone, and everything.., down. Remember me and I will never forget you, so long as we both shall live, so long as we both shall live. ----- Leah will love you forever...
     Xation sat in a daze, his mind clouded by the drugs, his heart broken by the news, his emotions shrouded in rage and confuson, and at first he thought he was dreaming, but when Xation began screaming and destroying the contents of the room, hotel security was soon at his door. In a mad, rambling rant Xation ordered them to call the police explaining they must find his wife. He showed the three men the note and they more than understood and empathized with the heart broken man. Now they offered their sympathies, but could be of no service, as his wife was free to leave him, if she so pleased, and this left Xation seething and humiliated, then he immediatly phoned Hays and Serena back in Texas. Both were absolutely mortified and Serena made Xation read the note over and over again while she listened shell shocked over the telephone line.
     "Xation! I do not know why this has happened, or what is going on in her head, but I swear to you, and before God! Hays and I will find her! If it is the last thing I ever do! She is out there somewhere, she can not hide forever! I will bring your wife back home to you!" this was Serena's message and answer to her brother's cry for help, this was the path she chose. However our cunninig Serena and our clever Hays did not realize just how long finding the elusive and destructive Leah would take.
  THE END
