And if you say we'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say we'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light

The Light - Sara Barellies

"Lizzy? Lizzy?"

"Henry, no don't do this to me Henry, don't do it. Don't go." Lizzy sobbed. "please don't leave me." He smiled a wry smile before releasing coughs that racked his whole body.

"Lizzy, listen to me." He coughed again, this time coughing up blood, Lizzy gasped horrified.

"No Henry, don't talk, save your energy. Please, please don't leave me." She begged, tears streaming down her face.

"Lizzy, you are strong enough, I know you are." He said, his eyes starting to close.

"Please Henry, no, no, no. I'll do anything, please just don't leave me alone."

"Lizzy, listen to me." He took a deep ragged breath in. "You will survive, you will live. I want you to have this." He slowly reached his arm around to the back of his neck and untied his necklace, gasping with pain. Lizzy reached out her hand and the small heart shaped locket fell open, showing a photo of the two of them when they were younger, pulling silly faces. Lizzy smiled through her tears as she looked at it. "I'm not sure I'm going to make it but you will Lizzy. Stay strong, get back up, follow your dreams. You can do it."

"No Henry, I need you. I need you with me." Lizzy sobbed harder. She couldn't do anything else, she was in too much pain.

"Jane will look after you Lizzy. You don't need me anymore." Lizzy kept on crying, harder and harder. He couldn't die. He just couldn't. "Lizzy don't give up hope, and never give up your belief in love. Promise me Lizzy, promise me that."

"I promise." But it was an empty promise and she knew it.

"Lizzy, remember that I will always love you. Forever and always." Henry took in his last shuddering breath and fell silent. Lizzy stared at him, shocked.

"Henry? Henry? HENRY!"

Lizzy screamed as she sat straight up in her bed and started crying as Jane ran into the room and hugged her quickly, rocking back and forth, comforting her. Both Jane and Lizzy had become a lot closer after his death. Lizzy sobbed harder.

"Shhh Lizzy, shhhh it's okay, it's alright. You're here with me now." Lizzy quieted down, sniffling.

"Oh it was horrible Jane."

"Again?" Lizzy nodded. "Oh Lizzy." The two girls hugged each other tightly and fell asleep beside each other on the large bed.

Lizzy woke up feeling refreshed. It had happened again, the same dream, over and over, again and again. They wouldn't stop and there was nothing she could do about it. It had been 3 years and she still couldn't get over it. She reached down and grabbed the locket at the base of her neck. She opened it and stared at it. She smiled sadly as she remembered the old days when she and Henry used to do everything together. She shook her head, repressing the memories, closed the locket and got up quickly, it was time to go to work. She quickly woke up Jane and they both made their way to the kitchen, choosing to avoid the night that had been.

"What are you doing today Janey? Scouting again?"

"Yeah. The agency wants me to find some new talent on the slopes, want to join me?"

"Normally I would, but I have a class today."

"What age group?"

"Eugh. The 16 year olds." Lizzy walked to the wet room where all of their snowboarding and skiing gear was kept and started putting on all of her layers, ready to face the cold.

"I'm taking that that means they're not your favourite." Lizzy shook her head. "Oh and Lizzy?"

"Yeah?"

"We're having dinner at mum and dad's tonight." Jane said innocently, Lizzy groaned.

"You couldn't have told them we were sick or something?"

"Lizzy, Dad knows everything. He practically runs the mountain." Lizzy sighed.

"I'll be there. Love you Jane."

"Love you too Lizzy." Lizzy walked out the door into the cold, snowy morning. Jane smiled as she watched her little sister walk out the door bravely. It had been hard after the accident but she had somehow found the energy to keep going and move on. But the Lizzy Jane knew was gone, replaced by a new, colder, more cautious double. Jane sighed. She would just have to hope that one day, the old, spontaneous and always ever-smiling Lizzy she knew would come back to her. Jane turned back, to get ready for the day to come.

"Right guys. When you snowboard always remember that the number one thing is balance." She instructed. Lizzy looked up as she saw her dad coming towards her with a gorgeous young girl with him. "Hey Dad."

"Hey Sweetheart. We've got a new one this season, her name's Georgiana and she's new here."

"Hello Georgiana."

"Hello." The girl said quietly back.

"I've got to go take the advanced, Hodgo pulled out at the last minute, something about his divorce I think." Mr. Bennet rolled his eyes in exasperation. Lizzy smiled and nodded.

"See you tonight Dad." Lizzy turned back to her class.

"Alex, stop talking. Johno, stop eating the snow, that's just gross. Now get onto your boards and let's take the lift. Pair up." The students paired up and soon it was only Georgiana left. "I guess you're with me." Lizzy smiled comfortingly at the young girl.

"So Georgiana, have you ever been snowboarding before?" She shook her head, no. Lizzy turned to look at her partner through her goggles. She's shy, she realised. Elizabeth smiled at Georgiana.

"Come on, you can talk to me, I don't bite. I'm Elizabeth Bennet."

"I'm Georgiana Darcy." She murmured back.

"I take it you're new to the mountain then?"

"Yes Miss Elizabeth." Georgiana said timidly, Lizzy laughed.

"Please, call me Lizzy, I'm not that old." She sniggered again while Georgiana cracked a smile.

"In that case, I would like it very much if you'd call me Georgie."

"Done! Darcy, Darcy, Darcy, that sounds familiar... But where from?" Lizzy pondered. Georgie blushed bright red.

"My brother, he owns Pemberley Hotels/Resorts with my cousin Rich."

"Nope, still doesn't sound familiar to me." Georgie sighed.

"He's a professional snowboarder. The one who keeps winning all his events, especially good at the Big Air?" Lizzy snapped her fingers.

"That's where I know him from. He's actually pretty good. I can respect that." Georgie smiled.

"I know, he's brilliant." She gasped. Lizzy glanced over at her young charge concerned

"You already squirt?"

"I shouldn't have told you that! My brother said strictly not to tell anyone." Georgie said, ashamed. "He already doesn't think well of me, I don't want to make it worse."

"It's okay, I promise I won't tell, and pish posh, he's your brother, of course he thinks well of you! But if you don't mind me asking why doesn't he want anyone knowing?"

"He wants me to be a normal kid but I've never really had the chance to be, I'm afraid I'm too shy." She said sadly

"I'm sure you'll make friends soon enough. Trust me, it's never dull on this mountain, there is always a lot of kids your age around the mountain."

"I've tried but they're always after my money. So in truth I don't really have any."

"Well you do now." She smiled at Georgiana comfortingly. "You're a lovely person Georgie and trust me, soon enough you'll find some kids here who will see you for what you are, not your material wealth."

"Thanks Lizzy."

"In fact, want to go shopping this weekend? If you're new to the mountain I guess I should be your guide. I promise to show you the sights of the amazing Mount Shimaro."

"I'd love to, I'd have to ask Will first of course, but I'd be honoured." Georgie said, her eyes shining with happiness.

"Perfect. There's something that I don't get though..."

"What?"

"If your brother is a pro snowboarder, how have you never ridden a snowboard before?"

"He's a bit too overprotective, he's afraid that I will hurt myself but Rich managed to convince him that I was old enough this year." At Lizzy's quizzical brow Georgiana added, "Rich is my cousin."

"Oh of course." They both got off of the lift successfully and stood with the rest of the class as Lizzy lead them to the top of the slope. "Alex, Johno, Jaiden, Mark and Sam go down the right path, it'll be more challenging for you and don't forget to wait for me down the bottom. You boys will be moving up to the intermediate class next lesson." There was plenty of groaning.

"But we like you Lizzy, Char's a bore."

"Come off it boys, she's more fun than you give her credit for, now go." They all raced off, boarding down the mountain with ease. "Carly, Megan, Steph, Rick and Kieran go down the left path, stick together and you'll be fine by yourselves, find the boys at the bottom and stay with them until I get down. Georgiana, you'll come with me." They all nodded and sped off while Georgie secured her feet on her board properly. "Now, make sure that you keep your balance and go down the mountain slowly, if you need to slow down put the side of the board to your front and shift down the mountain slowly. For changing directions, use your body and lean in each direction to move differently, make sure that you use large turns or shifts to slow your speed rather than going straight down." Georgiana nodded and together they made their way down the mountain.

"Georgie! You're a natural! That was brilliant and you only stacked it twice." They both giggled at the memory. "Right kids, we've got a few more runs to get through and then you're free to go for the day." Their group made their way up and down a few different runs and finished on one of the harder runs. "See you kids tomorrow, except for you boys, you'll be with Char." They grumbled at the news but said goodbye cheerfully all the same. Lizzy smiled and took out 5 chocolate bars she'd been hiding to give to them. They smiled in delight and raced off, clearly ready to try some more runs before the sun set.

"Well done Georgie, I'm very proud of you. You'll be shredding the black runs in no time." Georgiana beamed.

"Thanks Lizzy. Oh! I see my cousin over there, I'm going to go tell him about my day." Lizzy chuckled.

"Off you go kiddo." Georgiana raced off over towards her cousin and left Lizzy to walk into the main area of the shopping precinct. She spotted Jane and Char over at the food stalls getting hot chips to warm themselves up. They saw her and waved her over.

"I am starving." Lizzy said. Jane pushed a bucket of chips towards her.

"We knew you would be."

"Thanks guys. How was class Char?"

"Fine, a few annoying boys but I got them all sorted out."

"How?"

"I threatened them with a double diamond black run blindfolded backwards. Safe to say they shut up." All three of them laughed as they ate their chips. "Anyway I've got to run babes, I've got the advanced adults skiing class now. There's a few new guys in the class I think so we'll see if they have any potential." She winked as both the Bennet sisters laughed.

"See ya!" The Bennet sisters shouted.

"Call me!" Charlotte shouted back.

"Any luck with the scouting Janey?"

"Nope. None at all, not even on the black runs."

"Well I think I might have found someone but we have to find somewhere more private to talk."

"You have no more lessons for the rest of the day right?" Lizzy nodded. "Ski lift then?"

"Sure. Which one?"

"Skeletal Peak?"

"No Jane. No."

"But Lizzy..."

"Jane, I said no and that's final. We're going to Menata Run." Lizzy stalked off as Jane sighed. Lizzy had not gone down one black run since the accident. She had been a brilliant snowboarder, continually winning all of her competitions until the accident. There was no more Lizzy. Not on the tv, the computers, the newspapers, the magazines, nothing. The famous Eliza Bennet was gone. After the accident Lizzy wouldn't enter any boarding competitions no matter how much Jane pleaded with her, Lizzy would not budge and Jane knew why. The big air. All snowboarding competitions had a big air event in them and Lizzy would not do it. She had become afraid of heights. She wouldn't even ride the lifts that went too high off the ground. That being said, she could only teach the beginner classes. Jane sighed. Lizzy could do it, if only she tried. Jane had tried to get Lizzy to overcome her fear but no matter what she did her sister would not go off any of the jumps in the trick park. She never attempted anything that left her more than a metre off the ground, some of the ski lifts being exceptions. Jane got up and followed her younger sister out into the cold air on the mountain.

"Sorry Jane. You know how I get."

"That's alright. I'm only trying to help."

"I know Jane." Lizzy said quietly.

"So what's the big new then."

"Georgiana. Georgiana Darcy." Jane's eyes went wide.

"William Darcy?"

"His little sister. She turned up to my class today and it was unbelievable. That girl has talent Jane. She hadn't even touched a snowboard before today and she was incredible."

"Wow. How old is she?"

"16."

"Would her brother let her sign?"

"Don't think so, he thinks she'll injure herself too easily."

"Ahhh, the overprotective type?"

"Yep. That's the one."

"Oh well, I'll have dibs on her when she comes of age."

"If you say so Janey, but don't tell anyone, she doesn't want people knowing that she's here, she wants to be normal in a sense."

"I see." The two sisters got off and made their way down the mountain with ease. Lizzy had always been the better sports person out of the two of them and had almost lost Jane out of her sight. As she turned to see where her sister was another figure shot out of the trees to her left and rammed straight into her. Lizzy felt the impact hard as she felt herself fall down the mountain. She winced as she finally stopped tumbling down and looked up to see another figure beside her groaning.

"Why don't you watch where you're going? The mountain is a pretty busy place you know." A masculine voice said angrily.

"Excuse me?" Lizzy said indignantly. Who did he think he was? He was probably just some snobby up himself rich kid who thought he owned the mountain. "If you can accuse me of not looking where I was going, what were you doing?" If you were looking how could you not have seen me?" She shot back. He reddened. He opened his mouth to say something back but a skier with bright red hair came over and stopped next to him.

"You okay Darce?" 'Darce' nodded and turned and continued snowboarding down the mountain. The red head sighed and turned to Lizzy apologetically.

"I'm awfully sorry about him, he's just having a bad day I suppose." He smiled. "I'm Charlie Bingley."

"Lizzy Bennet. You new around here? I don't think I've seen you around before."

"Yeah, I just rented out Netherfield." Lizzy's eyes widened.

"The massive manor off the Noota track? Wow..." Charlie turned red.

"Yeah... I guess you could say I'm kinda rich." He shrugged and laughed and Lizzy laughed with him. She liked Charlie. He was the polar opposite of his friend and she had no idea how that worked but she found she didn't care, Charlie made up for his less than friendly friend.

"Do you want to come boarding, or in your case skiing with me and my sister? We're just about to head over to Eta track." Charlie shrugged.

"Sure. Darce probably buggered off somewhere anyway... I'll catch up with him later." They made their way down the mountain together and found Jane down the bottom, frantically looking for her sister. When she was Lizzy, Jane's face lit up with relief.

"Oh Lizzy, thank God. When I couldn't find you down the bottom of the mountain I was so worried." They hugged each other and that was when Jane saw Charlie and he saw her. They froze and both immediately looked at the ground blushing. Lizzy saw the instant attraction and smiled.

"Janey, it's okay, I just bumped into an arrogant pig who happened to be this guy's mate. I asked if he wanted to come ski with us, I hope you don't mind." Jane shook her head. "Perfect. Jane this is Charlie Bingley, Charlie, this is my sister Jane." They shook hands shyly. Then Jane's eyes widened in recognition.

"Charlie Bingley as in Charles Bingley, Will Darcy's agent from Bingley Agencies?" Charlie looked completely surprised and stared at Jane.

"Jane as in Jane Bennet, the most successful sporting agent from Kydo Agencies?" Jane nodded.

"Wait a minute... Does that mean the person you bumped into was the Will Darcy?" Jane asked her sister bewildered. Lizzy shrugged in return.

"Yep. That was him. Sorry about that Lizzy." Charlie said.

"That's okay Charlie. Who knew the greatest snowboarder in the world could be such an ass."

"Lizzy!"

"Sorry Jane, no offense Charlie, but he was. I'm going to go down the Deaken track again, you two head on over to Eta, I'll see you at dinner Jane. Nice meeting you Charlie."

"You too Lizzy." Charlie smiled.

"Be careful Lizzy." Jane said sternly.

"I always am. Bye!" Lizzy waved and made her way to Deaken track. She smiled as she thought about Jane and Charlie. It was about time for her sister to find someone. She had stayed single far to long. Thank God it was Charlie Bingley she had fallen for and not that ass of a man Will Darcy. Thank God.
