My head throbbed pretty badly when I opened my eyes. I was wondering what had happened when I remembered; Lass had almost killed me, but at the last moment. . . He didn't. And I think I said something embarrassing. I'm pretty sure I did.

I looked around, and heard someone moving around. When I looked over, I saw that it was Ronan, who seemed to be having a nightmare.

"El-El-Elesis. . . I'm sorry, ple. . . Don't. . . Kill. . ." he said in his sleep. In an attempt to wake him up, I threw a rock at him, but it hit his foot. He yelled, almost as if he got stabbed. I looked around for the other two, Ryan and. . . and Lass. I saw that Lass was nowhere to be found, but Ryan was in a tree.

"What the hell happened," I muttered. My head hurt badly, and it was causing me to forget things. Soon I remembered again.

Then I heard a loud thump. When I turned to the source of it, I realized it was Ryan and he had fallen out of the tree, waking him up. He seemed surprise to see me awake.

"A-Arme? You're awake?" Ryan asked. Well, no duh I'm awake.

"Your point?" I just said. Ryan looked around a little, before saying, "Lass is missing. . . and. . . he said he had to go somewhere. . . a few hours ago. . . an'. . ." He stopped talking and I was wondering what was up when I realized what had happened.

The moron had fallen asleep, while upside down. I decided to just go back to sleep, but just as I did, I heard someone screaming. It turned out to be Ronan, but nothing else happened, so I went back to sleep.

I woke up unexpectedly a few minutes later when I felt someone squishing me. I kicked whoever it was off and it turned out to be Ronan, what the hell. I yelled at him but then he yelled, "Why did you kill Lass?!" Ronan had looked at me when he said that, and he seemed quite hurt.

However, the news of Lass' death hurt me even worse than it would ever hurt Ronan.

"W-What?! Lass is dead?!" I cried out. I saw Ronan move and was soon accompanied by a glowing orb, and he said, "Why Lass?!"

"What happened to Lass?!" I asked, trying not to cry. Ronan's answer shocked me.

"You killed him!" He was starting to cry now. "Now you'll pay!"

"W-What?! I didn't kill Lass!"

"Let's see about that!"

Ronan began to throw Dust Chips at me. Normally they wouldn't do much to me, but in my state, they stung. I cried out every time the dust chips fizzled, sending their magic through me. He kept doing that, until I finally said, "How. . . can I kill anyone like this? I can hardly move. . ."

Ronan didn't believe me.

"You could have Stone Cursed him to death!"

"But," I said, holding out my hands, "I don't even have my weapons on me. . . I don't even know where he is!"

Looking over at a bush, Ronan said, "He was in my peeing bush!" Ew, what?! Ryan went over to the bush Ronan had mentioned and dragged out. . . Lass. . . who was limp. . . I tried to run over to him, but I fell. Ryan was crying over his body. . .

"L-Lass, pl-please, don't be d-dead. . ." I whispered. Looking over at the boys, I said, "S-Someone, please, give me my staff, I-I'll try to revive him. . ." Ronan tossed my staff over to me, and I picked it up. I muttered the spell, but I realized something. . .

"I-I'm too. . . weak. . ." I said, before I fell over. I heard Ronan sigh, before he used Holy Inferno, bathing everything close to him, including Lass, in a soft, blue light. I looked at Lass, and saw his wounds were half healed.

I didn't want Lass to just die like this, especially not until he knew how I felt about him. Crawing over to him, I whispered, "Please don't die, Lass." Then I gave him a small kiss. I thought I heard him gasp a little, but I wasn't sure if that really was him or just me.

"Lass, don't die," I whispered to him. I glanced over at the boys, and they were looking in awe. Soon, Lass started coughing up blood, but it looked like his energy was fading.

"N-No! Please don't die!" I cried out, before tears started streaming down my face. I heard Lass say softly, "It's okay. . ." Then he held my head close to his chest and kissed the top of my head. He chuckled a bit, but started coughing again. I tried to heal him again, but it wouldn't work, I was just too weak.

"It's no use, Arme, I'm just scarred. . ." Las murmured. "Scars don't heal. . ."

"N-No. . ." I simply said. "Lass. . ."

"It's fine," he said, trying to reassure me. "I just can't fight anymore. . ." No, t-that couldn't be true. . .

"Why?!" I cried out. "Why!" I burried my face in his chest and kept crying. It seemed like it was all I could do now. . .

"My heart's been. . . damaged," Lass struggled to say. Soon I heard Ryan start crying, and I only cried louder. I felt him kiss me again, before he fell asleep.

I felt worn out and tired.

"I feel. . . so useless. . ." I whispered, still crying.

"Uh," I heard Ronan say. "It's okay. I mean, at least he's okay. Well, alive, that is." I felt someone pat my back, and assumed it to be Ronan.

I tried to sleep but it wouldn't come, so I just listened to the other two members of Grand Chase, but before they could speak even one word, I fell asleep.

Why is it whenever I want to do something I fall asleep and when all I want to do is sleep, I can't?
