Chapter Two: Mistake

"Sarah, are you positive they are still here?" Xavvok asked.

"I'm sure they are! We're just……." Sarah looked around. "Lost…."

"It's already been two hours since we entered this place and neither of them are responding to my messages. Do you think-"

"No! That would never happen to them, they are strong enough to handle even a Baphomet!"

They walked over some sort of assembly belt. They walked across the way of it as they reached the end, which lead into a pitch black drop.

"What do you think is down there?" Pondered Xavvok.

"I don't want to find out." Sarah replied nervously, she slowly stepped back.

"I don't think so, you'll be finding out, unfortunately, it will be soon." Said a voice behind them.

Both of them quickly turned around only to find a girl swordsman with blue hair swing her sword towards them. Xavvok reacted quickly and jumped back, pulling Sarah with him.

They fell on a pile of old equipment and they rolled down to the floor, they bumped several objects on their way down. Xavvok fell headfirst, almost getting knocked out by the impact. He tried to get back up. He collapsed. There was no strength left in him, not even enough for him to get on his two feet. Across him was a body resting unconsciously on a test tube. It was a female sniper, her face was difficult to identify, but it was sure that she had long blond hair.

"Sarah!" That was the first thing that came to his mind.

There was no reply.

"Sarah!" he shouted again. His surroundings were still silent. The priest crawled up to Sarah and felt for a pulse. It was very weak and she felt very cold.

"Lets get out of here…." He whispered. A portal emitted out of the floor below the two bodies. They disappeared into the portal.

They were back in the city of Lighthalzen. The city was engulfed in the twilight of evening. The lamps across the streets were lit as the cobblestone pathways were dim. He had a sudden burst of adrenaline. His strength suddenly returned as he stood up, lifted Sarah's body, and rushed her to the inn. Conveniently, he already had a room so he directly went to his room.

He barged through the door of his room, the lights were off but he was able to navigate through the room. He laid Sarah down on his bed and held his hands over her body as they glowed sky blue. She was being healed.

"Sarah, please be alright, I ho….." he fainted. His adrenaline ran out and fatigue caught up to him.

Xavvok found himself in a vast, lifeless plain. There stood only a great wall, whose gate was even greater than the wall itself. He walked towards the wall. A figure of a female sniper with long blond hair was near the gate.

"Hey!" Yelled Xavvok.

The sniper turned around, It was Sarah. Her eyes were overflowing with tears. Their eyes met for a while. Sarah then turned away coldly and walked briskly towards the gate, which opened.

"Sarah!" he shouted, running towards his dear friend.

The sobbing sniper's pace quickened and soon she was running. She crossed the gate and the gate started to close.

Xavvok rushed towards the gate as it was about to close but it slammed shut just as he was able to reach the arch. He caught the glance of Sarah's eyes just before the gate closed. It was mixed with overwhelming emotions. They were filled with undying rage, never-ending sadness, and complete confusion.

"Sarah!" he shouted again, banging his arms on the gate.

"SARAH!!" his voice echoed around his room. He was back in his room, tears were flowing down his cheecks. Sunlight pierced through the curtains of his room and illuminated the room. His eyes drifted around the room as they were caught by the bed which Sarah was lying down own. He approached the bed and slid down the bed sheet slightly. The person on the bed was not Sarah. It was another sniper, her skin was as pale as a ghost, she also had long blond hair and her face had similar features to Sarah but it was clear that it was not her.

"……" Xavvok was speechless, tears continued flowing down his face.

"No, this cannot be….."

He rushed out of his room, heading back to the laboratory through the slums. He didn't care about anything in his way, he even shoved the guard between the city and the slums aside. He reached the lab and immediately proceeded to the lower level. He came back to where the assembly belt was and he jumped back down the hole. This time, he landed safely on the equipment. He slid down the pile of equipment and began his search.

"Ruwach" he whispered. A ball of bright blue light conjured on his right palm. A spark of light caught his eye as he searched the area. Kneeling down towards the object, he noticed it was a silver ring. He picked it up, it was covered in blood, he wiped it off with his sleeve. His body froze with shock as his eyes began to overflow with tears. The word "friend" was engraved on the ring, just like the one he and Sarah wore.

"This cannot be….."

That is the end of this chapter...

Ouch... Poor Xavvok...
