Hello ToA fans~~...or not o.o 'cause no one knows me...hmm...sorry Pokemon fans, I'm horrible cause now I'm obsessed with ToA...funny, I'm almost done the next chapter but I'm too lazy to put more stuff in it...I'm so bad...

ANYWAYS, this is my first ToA story. The first part of the story is pretty much on Alexis (my OC) we SADLY T.T won't be seeing the other characters until later...except Sync. Cause my other OC (Ana) is with Sync. Yeah...oh and Guy :D :D :D

I'm finally satisfied with my title cause well, Alexis is 'intertwined' with a lot of people o.o so ya lol

Also, the beginning may not (okay probably doesn't) make sense. To make it easier, it's Alexis trying to escape from the Oracle Knight Headquarters base (thank you Culinaromancer :D) with Ana but Ana gets caught and Alexis gets away. blah blah blah, it's one year later and the whole thing was a dream Alexis had (but it really did happen)

oh right and the pairing is SyncxAna and GuyxAlexis cause I LOVE those two 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of the Abyss. If I had, I'd be soooooooooooo rich :D :D :D okay not that rich but atleast I would own Sync and Guy xDD

Prologue

Alexis POV

"Hurry, this way!" I could hear someone yelling as more shuffled steps could be heard. I was gasping for air from running, trying to escape this place. Behind me was my replica-no, my sister, who I've become close to ever since she was created about a year an a half ago. Her semi-long hair splattered on her face, as she looked just as, or maybe more tired than I was, as she ran behind me, trying to keep the same pace as me as we ran, my hand holding hers. I knew it would be hard escaping, and to take her with me sounded suicidal, but I was determined to make it work. More shuffled steps could be heard as they became louder.

"...., Stalagmite!" A giant pillar of stone suddenly burst up hitting many Oracle Knights after my sister muttered the spell. Because of this, the Oracle Knights stopped, trying to get around the giant rock in their way.

"Don't...do that! You'll only...become...more tired." I told her while gasping for air.

Soon enough, I could see the window I was searching for. I had deliberately left that one opened as it was on the second floor so the jump wouldn't be too hard. Lightning could be seen striking as rain splattered through the window onto the floor.

*gasp* I turned around to see my replica staggering back a little as my eyes widened to see Sync holding her other hand.

"Sync…" I choked out as I could feel his eyes piercing daggers of guilt into me.

"Alexis, what are you doing?" Though it sounded angry, I could hear a tint of sacredness as he feared what I would say.

"Trying to escape."

"You know you wouldn't to able to get far." Sync answered, stating the obvious.

"Yes, but I wanted Ana to have a normal life, not one stuck here." I said looking at my replica.

"Just trying to escape will make staying here worse! You should know that!" Sync yelled.

"But to know Ana would have a better life is good enough!" I retorted, squeezing my hand that held Ana's as I closed my eyes harshly.

"Sister…" Ana said quietly. Slowly, she let go of my hand. My eyes opened in shock.

"Ana?"

"Run, sister." Ana said to me.

"No, I won't! You should be the one to escape, not me!"

"But sister was taken away from her friends and brought here! Ana has nowhere to go if she escapes without sister…"

"Ana…" I said, my eyes softening.

"That way!" My eyes opened widely again as I remembered the situation I was in. The Oracle Knights were getting closer and I had to make a choice now.

"Sync, will you try to capture me?" I said as I turned to look at the boy holding my replica's hand.

"If I am commanded to, yes. Otherwise, no." He said firmly.

"…when I leave, promise you'll take care of Ana."

"…Fine." A smile crept up my lips as I closed my eyes.

"Thank you." I said quietly as I turned and started running to the window.

"I promise I'll come back for you Ana, no matter what!" I yelled as tears poured down my face. Ana sacrificed her wellbeing for me. If I got caught, it would be for naught. I had to keep running until I got back to Baticul. Yes, back to where my home was, until I am strong enough to free Ana.

It's been a year since then. My eyes fluttered open as I remember that far off dream, noticing my damp cheeks from tears that streamed down once again. Hopefully, Sync has kept his promise of taking care of Ana until I come back for her.

And that's the end of the prologue o.o yay...boring I know...eheheheh...I'll go to the corner to mope now...
