Zack was dead. The one person he began to care for in his life died. Zack was the one who could make him smile in the worst of times. The one who made him feel like he wasn't some thing. He was the one Angeal grew to love. Sometime inside Angeal refused to give up he shifted closer to the boy tilting his head back he began CPR.

1...2...3...28...29...30 breath.

He looked at the boy, nothing. Start second cycle.

On the 8th cycle he began to lose hope, he knew there were tears leaking from his eyes making his face cold when the wind blew. He didn't care. All he cared was he failed the one thing he promised to do the on thing he swore, to protect Zack. A promise when he took the young boy in, even though it wasn't written and he wasn't forced to keep it he never broke his promise.

Now, Zack was dead and he couldn't do anything. Trying on last time he began the compressions counting to 30.

1...2...3...4...5...- About to reach six Zack's back arched as he gasped coughing he fell back against the ground. He was panting and coughing a little bit was from the fever but mostly his body trying to gain back lost air.

Angeal stroked Zack's hair pure joy filling his chest. Zack was breathing, he was coughing. He was alive. But he still had the promise to hold and Zack's blood was still laced with the poison. That wasn't there only problem they still had followers and he still hadn't figured out why they were after him. And the final problem, how to get out of this forest.

With no time to debate he lifted Zack genitally holding him close to his chest. He stood there a moment watching Zack pant harshly, it wasn't what he really wanted but he was glad. Zack was alive and that all that mattered.

Two days latter. Angeal hadn't stopped walking for two days straight Zack was getting worse and worse by each passing hour. His veins had turned a sickly pale blue, Anneal could tell because Zack's skin had become so pale. There were dark circles under his eyes and his cheeks were flushed a pale pink. His lips were a bluish gray. To put it simply Zack looked worse then dead. He still had no clue where they were and where they were going, but all he knew was he couldn't stop, he had to keep going.

On the forth day mid day Angeal collapsed from lack of food, sleep and water. Laying there he weakly turned his head to Zack who was panting on his side from were Angeal had dropped him.

He struggled to stand his legs shaking manging to get himself kneeling before falling straight back down. His body couldn't take anymore and with Zack getting worse and worse with each passing day and hour. It was over. He had tried and failed.

Thats when something hit him in the face. Barely having the strength he lifted the item up. It was Zack's solider tag. It shined brightly in the dieing sun. He heard foot steps slowly walking toward him.

"I found you" a female voice said it was soft caring and gentle. The last thing he saw was pale green eyes and blue hair, before passing out.
