<strong>Elijah goes after Maddi</strong><br/><br/>Elijah could feel the tension in the air when Maddi handed him the beer and said she was going for a walk.  He stood just as she walked out of the circle of light.  He knew he needed to talk to her and went after her.  His eyes adjusted slowly to the dark once he cleared the circle and he looked for<br/>Maddi.  In the distance he saw her running.  Not understanding, Elijah ran after her.  Her wrap slipped from her shoulders and still they ran.  Suddenly Maddi cried out and came to a stop.  Elijah redoubled his efforts to reach her.<br/><br/>She was sitting at the water's edge when Elijah caught up to her.  He could see the tears running down her cheeks and he broke down as well.  Not knowing what to say, he gathered Maddi in his arms kneeling behind her and held her mixing his tears in her hair.  Together they sat and cried for a while just letting raw emotions pour out of themselves.  Elijah knew that he didn't want to let her go again.
