"You left me?" Jane said firmly as Helga remained silent. This was so much harder for her then the early talk of forgiving those beasts. All the money in the world couldn't make Porter come back to her and mended that broken bleeding heart that Sinclair had no idea how to fix.

"I had my career to think about, i wouldn't deny it. And every time on this trip ,i kept thinking to myself "this is for Jane" or "maybe Jane wouldn't mind what i doing" Helga said in straight forward manner and getting back into her stoic facade again. But telling from the disappointed look in Jane's eyes it wasn't working.

"Oh no...this WASN'T about me, Sinclair. This was about YOU and IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT YOU.

Helga Katrina bloody Sinclair, the woman who found the "Heart of Atlantis" and who would FUCKING compare to HER beauty. HER triumphs, this...this broken damaged little harlot who ended up wanting to "save the world" or some insane crap like that.

The woman who should have been more BRAVE to both her team and herself. The very woman who thinks her entire life has been nothing more then FUCKING lie!"

Helga had been through this already with Syrena. Her faults were becoming more and more outlined for her the moment she awakened to this nightmare world.

She couldn't bare to look at Jane for that very reason, her life was in the service of others. Jane NEVER understood that or why Sinclair give up so easily on there blooming relationship. She never tried to understand Rourke and her crew. She HATED Preston Whitmore and all he stood for, she did once date him before they met.

She never thought to reason as to WHY Sinclair had to justify or explain her actions to her but no more.

Sinclair had to broke up there romance well before this trip. There was too much at stake she felt if she had brought back that rock.

She wanted Jane to see the hero she felt she was! but now she felt like every action here made her more and more the villain. Leaving her was at one time the best course of action for her and the career she had with Rourke. But now that was a outright lie and everything since then was pain.

Helga had closed her eyes as she speak again

"Think what you like "Jane" but i know you are nothing more then some insane illusion brought on by my guilt!. You...you have NO idea what kind of life i led because my decisions were my own NOT yours!.

I can't BE the person you wished me to be...I CAN'T forgive the people who hurt me because i know for a fact that EVERY bit the monsters you think I AM. I will continue to hate them because EVERYTHING that happened to me CAN'T BE UNDONE.

I wished to god it was. I will never get out here and...and every single time i wanted to get back to you. And i keep failing, to you have ANY idea what this hell is like or why i can't move on from that?."

Helga had no idea why she said that. For all she know Jane Porter had given up on her like the rest, her mind was trying to make sense of something that she fully know was guilt. She should have been braver in the face of Jane but it would never help. She had thrown away a good part to her life and whatever "punishment" Kida had in store wouldn't feel worse then baring to look at the "Love of her Life" again.

Atlantis would never let her go because she had failed in every one's eyes. All but Syrena whose kindest toward her and surprised her the most, this woman ACTUALLY cared about someone who had lost everything. No one else would have saved her from those strange fish people or put up with the terrible crap Sinclair had kept bringing with she would never replace Jane in Sinclair's mind. She just needed to hold on someone who wasn't about to throw her out of there lives as carelessly and cruelly like the team did.

Jane wanted a life with a woman who felt she was always on the path of self destruction and Jane just didn't care about that.

"I WILL NOT MOVE ON FROM YOU HELGA!.

I will not allow you to think your entire life was spent making one bad bloody decision after another. Until you start blaming the whole entire world for your own mistakes and NOT fixing them!."

"Jane" sneered at her but it wasn't of anger but of pity. Almost sensing it seemed her own thoughts, Dr. Porter seemed unimpressed by the former Lieutenant's entire anti social attitude against everything including the rampant hatred toward the Atlanteans and trying to justify all of it.

She edged toward her and it seemed all too scary for Helga to be this close to her. Even as Jane spoke again she felt like the world was going crumble all her around again much like finding out her only way back was gone but this time it so much worse.

"Fix them by fixing yourself, let me help you." The pity for her was growing more evaded in Jane's voice and it was calming in a sad way."I been trying to justify why you hate this world and not expect it but now i know..."

"Know what?" Helga sounded more broken up as Jane gladly touched her cheek

"You can never be happy. You were throw off like garbage by him and there was no one there for you. Everyone was so caught up in the chaos and then was you...God i can't even begin to imagine the type of pain running through your entire body. Every...broken bone...every inch of you screaming in terror. That..that must the moment when you wanted to be angry at the entire world.

But you can't because everyone of them hated had to leash out at someone and that was the Atlanteans, that was "princess" Kida. She must be the scariest person on this earth for you. She has everything that you felt you will never have. And now a life filled with the thought of once again tearing you down"

"How would you know that?"

"Because it doesn't exist Helga. Kida is NOT coming after you, for all she knows you dead in the volcano. You keep on thinking she is the "savage" here when in reality it was you who were and always you where the real savage. You come here high and mighty expecting at the end of this trip..."money" or was it some insane overbearing way to impress me?. What the hell made you think that any of this SHIT would ever won me over?"

"YOU LEFT ME!" Helga slammed her fist against the sand

"NO IT WAS YOU WHO LEFT ME, GOD DAMN IT HELGA SINCLAIR...WHY?" Jane was really pouring her heart and soul into her with this question and she don't feel like answering it.

"What was so horrible about us that made you quit?, you were giving up on the best thing to ever happen to you and you run away from that. Give me a reason to not mourn you and to move on with my life.

To end this pain i keep on feeling each time we talk, what was it that made you think that i am a monster or that everything and everyone whoever loved you must now be because you are dead!.

Why should i keep on thinking that ever time am looking at the team that you are NOT with among them.

That...that "they" survived and you don't or do you think that Helga fucking Sinclair has looked at herself as a bloody coward and villain and that my love for her was something false. That i should just move on and that everything good within my relationship was some wild fantasy with a woman who is clearly on the path to self destruction. A woman who couldn't handle the way her life and Atlantis was the final nail in that coffin leading towards it."

Jane was red in the face from all that. She actually felt sorry for her and that was something she can't handle without making up her own reasons but she would be betraying Jane's feeling in the mean time. She closed her eyes as she talked

" I dreamed of a life with you and...it would always be ending in me giving up. I can't really take that life because it means giving up on EVERYTHING i ever built for myself. You can't not begin to imagine the type of life i have lead. It was hell and do really think that I WILL NOT ALLOW someone i love on the entire face of the earth to live it with me."

"That type of thinking can destroy you from the inside Helga" Jane gasped, she would never understand

"I DON'T CARE!. I will not going to allow you or my future child to go through what i want through. I give up because that was the only way to make you from ever needing someone that hates everything within this life. And i will not allow you to feel pity for me because it is something that is weak for me. I am stronger now then i ever was because the pain had to go somewhere, ANYWHERE and i tried thinking i would keep making the right decision this time and not the wrong ones.

The Heart of Atlantis was going to be the right decision and I DON'T think of the costs...i don't think i would end up in a crazy screwed up world at the bottom of the ocean. That i would lose the feeling within my very own legs...

That the people who were my friends ended up leaving me...

That i would be rescued by some crazy woman in a mask and who dresses like a pirate who clearly loves those savages. SHE is the one person who is truly making sense in this world more so then if the Professor ending being the "king" of it." She covered her face and begin bitterly laughing at that.

Never quite noticing Jane's expression about her last few sentences as Porter spoke a bit "A crazy woman who "THINKS" she's a pirate!?"

"AHAHAHAHAHA...For the first time i actually finally get what meant to think this place being full of "wonder and beauty". "She" lost everything too and...AHAH she wanted to move on and somehow finally found it in this completely insane..."world". Yet i can't because it has be the worst place on earth for me and i can not escape from it.

Yet if there is no one really after me then i guess i could live with that."

"What of your family then?"

"They can go on without me. Let them think i dead at least something like a hero, let them believe whatever crap Preston's people cooked up to make them let go of me. My sisters should proud of me and...and it's painful as hell but it has be done for there sake and not mine"

"Preston, you like him don't you?"

"AHAH whatever new pretty "assistant" he has, let him be happy. I never wanted to be apart of his special projects anyways. Let nonsense like "Project Blue Water" remain as deeply buried and dead as me."

Jane looked at her confused "Wait, what the hell is "Project Blue Water?"

"A project that according to Preston was in his own words "was going to change the world" as if me and...and Rourke ever felt like "we" would ever to apart of such nutty falsehoods without pay. So yes he can burn in hell for all i care"

Jane had the look of not wanting question her fewer about Whitmore. Moving on with more questions of the sudden upbeat yet bitter mood Helga felt like putting herself in.

"Mulan and Amelia?"

"They were always trying to upstage me all the time in training. Mulan is the one person on the entire earth who thinks the way to brilliant army thinking is too rush into it straight on. That the enemy will always see reason were is none and that she will won based on sheer luck and not brute force!.

And Amelia is someone who believes she is a pure genus filled with the wildest,craziest ideas that are benefit mankind. Even if it means stupid things like telling me that she would one day a floating ship in the shape of a 17th century vessel..."

Helga eyed the Wicked Wench when saying that and yet for reason Jane seemed to a worried look on her face. But Helga felt like ignoring that

"...Believe me, she thinks she is some sort of mad genus whose using the Navy's resources to think up whatever comes to mind. However incredibly insane it is!"

Jane was laughing at that "AHAHAHAHAHA...oh i happen to know someone just like that. Man would she be surprised by that AHAHAHHAHAHAHA"

Seeing Jane just being happy around her was...amazing for Sinclair. It was surreal as well since it felt like ages to think of them together and not have the emotions run high. That Helga was doing something right in her own life again by being her again.

Still smiling Jane continued "Aurora?"

Before answering Helga looked at her legs in the sand "She is...is someone that loves the craziness that is Mulan. I have nothing to say or think of anything wrong with her. She's get this full body dragon tattoo down one part of her body, said that it appeared on her one day before her horse riding accident. Said that a fairy give it to her as a "warning" or some ill omen. And then a few days later she...this tough Irish rose ends up in a coma and no one has any idea why." Helga was always passionate about talking about Aurora

"She was in that hospital bed for what seemed like days on end. And...and then Mulan shows up to tell her that it was HER FAULT for causing this horrible accident. That it should have been HER in that bed and not Aurora, who was then just this random stranger living in Hong Kong with the worst luck imaginable" There was alot of irony in that statement for Sinclair when she thought of her own current state of mind.

"You know what Mulan does when she done saying in so many words that she is sorry for all the crap she did to her. At the end of it she does the most stupidest thing ever...she kisses her. She barely knows this girl and that's enough to justify a kiss and the most amazing thing happens...

She awakes up ahahah. I can't believe a clumsy dreamer like Mulan ended up with this utterly sweet fairy tale princess like Aurora and i can't be happier for them."

Jane seemed utterly worried about what she was asking next about Aurora for some reason

"What is wrong with Aurora?"

"She is crippled in her right leg. she can't completely walk with some help and she is utterly happy with that. Aurora told me that she faced her demons and won despite losing everything. She was in a coma and her entire life afterwards was not hell like it is for me. She thought that a "Prince Charming" would come to rescue her from all the crap that the world offers and that she would won in the end. And guess what it turns out that "Charming" is Lt. Fa Mulan of the Hong Kong army corp. How utterly insane is that?"

Jane seemed to thinking about her next question now

"You think that am not here, that this is your guilt..why would it be guilt and not something like desire to show up as me?"

Helga don't want to answer but she felt she had too

"Oh god...i imagined you with me here and..and how utterly disgusted you would be with me. That my life is over the moment you see me as you feel i truly am to you. That i could never live up to your high exceptions you set up for me. Not as a solder, not as the merc, not as the femme faltae. Not someone who worked for Whitmore day in and day out or as the equal partner to scam like Rourke.

NO!...you would see a woman who let every man and woman on this trip die. Who laughed at the very thought of allowing more death to follow once a lifeforce was taken from there city for money. That every time you would look at me, you would see something inhuman. That can never ever touch again or feel the attraction we seemed to have for each other. Someone whose utterly afraid that the whole world is the one is the one mad and am the only one whose sane. Because i realized a long time ago that the world is shit and that the only way to live in it is do it for utter force of will!.

And someone as kind and daring as you would NEVER understand that!"

Little she did realize that "Jane" felt like she was...all to well

Syrena earlier feelings toward Helga kept on changing. Although one thing had remained the same. Guilt, that was one thing that haunted Helga Sinclair. She would never be happy in her life and Syrena still felt like this very "night" it had to end now.

She was jealous of the very people who she called her "friends". They were the ones who get everything she would never get. They were the ones that caused her to look at her own life and to see utter crap. Jane was the only thing that kept her from completely giving up, but once the broke up happened. She would always be the one good thing for her life and she throw that away. It was protect Jane from the harm of just marrying her. That every damned time of being with her was a false illusion and she would once again won her back in anyway possible.

Whatever punishment be damned. The talk of money and of the trials of Neptune,complete utter bull as they were, of her utter reckless in the face of the Atlanteans and finally the true real heart of the matter Jane Porter herself. Syrena felt like Helga Sinclair beautiful as she was and as damaged she felt as the Queen was. Would never mix, she ruled over herself in such a fashion that no one would truly know or see her as she saw herself.

It was now like Syrena was seeing a utterly distorted version of her life and herself within Helga. Someone who shut off everything that was good or redeemable and throw that away and excuses making up for such things. The utter lack of what drive her to do horrible choices in life and finally the fact that the Conduit kept being brought up as if it were a bad joke that would not just go away from her head.

The Queen was finally getting she felt into seeing Sinclair's true nature and she now had to stop that from destroying herself and who could dare see the fact that if it were anyone else but her, they would have seen a hopeless angry wreck and throw her into the nearest dungeon.

She couldn't deny to herself that she felt the same "anger towards the world" that Helga did.

She felt like a charming enough rouge to understand the same feelings. Its just the added fact that she know once again that The Conduit was NOT a life force and that even if she would sorry for it, it could because it just take over Kida and nothing else.

And not for being the final goal in whatever stupid disastrous bone headed scheme some reckless commander thought of would work. This still a whole new level of low for the surface world Navy to not foresee it and it had come at such a high cost for a such a scheme like that to work. The crew and The Professor never felt remorse which Helga was now feeling and it seemed to have been with her since she wake up.

In some twisted fashion they had caused the monster to be more stronger then ever. And it was going to continue grow in terms of how much guilt she would feel. How in the hell was this person was supposed to be Jane Porter's "champion" if she was not a hero in the first place!. How in the world Jane understand such untapped anger that Helga projected, how could she marry a person who just ended up disappointing her?

Everything had been made for her and Syrena felt like she was still the solder following orders, yet she was so bitter and scared that she saw nothing else but her pain.

She couldn't realize her pain could healed and yet that would a small comfort to her. She wanted her and Jane to have a child together?

How would that child feel being raised by a woman like Helga as there mother? Would that child except or reject her like the rest did?. The mere powerful fact of this relationship between Jane and Sinclair, made Syrena feel something that she felt she had long forgotten about.

The love she felt for Captain Elizabeth Swann, except Syrena know it was NOT the insane train wreck that Jane Porter had given for Helga Sinclair.

Whatever problems she had with Elizabeth was nothing compared to what she had been seen here. She had felt that something indeed broke inside both of them that day they separated and the way Helga wanted to "won her back" was the only real goal for her now. The feelings of the crew mates,Rourke, the professor and sadly the MER were meaningless compared to trying to just impress Jane Porter back to her.

Sadly it was also the very thing destroying her and Syrena felt she had to stop that.

But it was a double edged sword simply because Sinclair would have to put her trust into the very same "freaks" that hurt her. And that freak was Syrena

And there was only one way for Queen Syrena could think of that could take Helga off her warpath.

Jane kneel on the sand next to her. Her silent mixed expressions dance across her face as if in deep thought. Helga was trying to back away from her but she felt like she didn't want to move. Imagining her here or not the old feelings were returning to Sinclair. And it made her feel ashamed and just looking into her eyes again was bring so many things back to surface for her.

Along with breathing heavily tears had started to come down her face again. Jane was smiling at her as both her hands moved Sinclair's face wiping out the tears

"I understand in...ways you would never began to think of, Helga" she said softly "Your pain is so great that you just want to give up. But i will NEVER allow that to be the one goal in your entire life. You're just being alive is a second chance!"

"I DON'T DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE"

"No, i will never believe that. Helga Sinclair giving up and for what? Let me tell this...I am not about to mourn you as what me to, that you're life was EVER a lie and that the happiness between us was something false. You can still have the chance to be with me BECAUSE I AM NOT GIVING UP ON YOU." Jane's voice kept getting stronger

Jane continued "I been through this before with you Sinclair, and each time i have felt like the entire world was against us. Now i know it was also your personal guilt, it was against us as well but i have NO reason to fear it as you do..." she paused as if thinking of what to say next

"...If it's the very reason for me to leave again...then i'll leave. I will not allow myself to be chained to your fate.

I'll make my own and i will tell Amelia and Mulan to never find you. I will allow myself to move on if that's what you wanted...

I will allow you to live the rest of your life as...as you see fit. I will tell your parents that you dead a hero and NOT a coward...

...That WHITMORE and his fucking crew can go straight to hell and that it was there ignorance that brought you into this..."mood"...

...That i personally burn down that house we build, BECAUSE it will remind me of you each and EVERY time...

...AND then Helga, you will know that the love between us has truly ended. In the end Helga i will be the one mourning you, IS THE FEELING THAT WANT OUT OF ME?"

Helga hugged Jane as she cried. She felt that if that she would never see the actual Jane ever again,

And it was asking alot of tough questions

this illusion was asking her to not give up on each other just yet.

It asking her that ALL those men were just blood money for the rampant destructive nature of the Professor and Rourke as well as the crew.

It was asking her that she still cared in some small way about her own personal friends

It wanted her to forgive the Atlanteans, the people who she know hurt her.

To even go so far and forgive Princess Kida, a woman who right now was putting a bounty on her head.

That leaving her for the Commander was the worst mistake she could make.

And that she would was ready to mourn her as a dead woman.

She felt like it was this was the hardest choice to think of. And through it all Jane was not ready to give up on her as she herself had already done. It was a choice that she would never had thought of or made. She would never win her back, she would leave forever this time and never back. Her own pain was indeed nothing compared to the kind of pain Jane had possibly been going through. Jane was in someways her heart and it was something she felt she lost down here.

But in order to allow herself to live again then it would also mean allowing her to live her own life and not through Sinclair.

It would mean giving her up and never allowing herself to see the happy life she would led with Jane. Whatever life she thought for herself was indeed selfish and wrong.

Porter would be allowed to think of Helga Sinclair as dead and buried under the Atlantic ocean along with the remains of the ULYSSES. That being dead would mean she would at the very least be separated from Kida's hatred that she felt should aimed at her and someone she loved.

Jane Porter was going to be the last remainder of something good in her life and she NEEDED to make that feeling go away.

Kida and her anger towards her was her fault and hers alone. This is was her punishment and it was possibly this feeling that the bloody ghost made what to her to want to have. In the end the ghost won as well as Kida for Helga to even be thinking this.

She was no longer a solder and therefore she would forsake what hope she had

She had made her decision

"Tell them am dead..."

Syrena through Jane's look was of pure confusion and shock "Wait what?"

"...You CAN'T mourn for me and that's...that's sicking to me. Am allowing you to move on, you will tell me whatever story you want. But tell them i am dead, the things in my life that i WANTED are gone now and forever.

I will allow this chance to leave me in peace here in Atlantis and to NEVER return. I will live with my commander's sins and i will no way to redeem them. Because they allowed everything in my life to come right back at me and they destroyed it."

"You're serious about this?"

"YES!, i will not allow you Jane to live in my shadow and i will not allow you to think for me. What those savages did can't be undone!. I never want to hurt you but i can't change the feelings had for you and now i know i was wrong about them."

"This is another breakup?"

"No this me letting you go. This is me telling you that giving up on me is the best thing you could ever do with your life. I want you to tell them to stop searching for me."

"But...but the good memories you and i had together then was nothing?"

"What "good" ever come out of us being together Jane?...

...I AM A VILLAIN! I AM A BEAST. Which one of those things did ever found appealing, because there not. I am trying to separate from you from the pain,hatred and anger you know i have and then you could say that mourning me was alot easier then it feels" Syrena noticed she was saying that with sarcasm but it was every bit as bitter as her own.

The Queen was completely utterly surprised by this. Helga Sinclair was supposed to be a fighter to the end for Jane Porter, her own champion and by the looks of it. That champion was going to sacrifice that one good thing in her life to live here in Atlantis

By the sound of it she was cutting her ties forever

It was a move Syrena felt she had to make after she had found Sinclair. And it seemed the idea of self sacrifice had gone through her as well. It was just not a easy move to make for a land dweller and yet after all that happened with her, she understood it.

And it also felt like she was making the wrong decision, yet Syrena know it was for the best.

It would also mean Jane would never have a future with her ether, the Queen was not heartless. But Helga whatever she was thinking was doing it for Jane's well being. Her giving in the fact that the entire world thinking she dead would also mean she could never go back to the surface world.

Her friends,her family she thought would be allowed the comfort of never knowing her horrible mistakes within Atlantis.

Syrena also know this was pretty cruel for her to even allow them to go on believing Whitmore's lies to live on. Such things she couldn't believe she was just going allow that to happen. And yet she couldn't overrule it.

She closed her eyes as there faces so close to each other

"Okay then, this will be the last time you will ever see ...just allow me one more thing for you Sinclair..."

Helga bitterly smiled, Syrena know it was hide the pain of all this as she finally said "what?"

"...Kiss me, one last time"

Nether figured out who want first but she felt Jane was always over eager to get on with. Her lips felt the same as ever and Sinclair was feeling she missed that. Everything don't mattered except Jane. There lips connected smoothly and it seemed by the moving of her hands down her sides as to what she wanted out of her.

She was shaking again. Even with just being around her, Sinclair felt terrified to even show the rest of her body. Weakly she crossed her arms over her chest as Jane's lustful face looked on. "Don't deny me this" she said calmly as she continued to unbuttoned the top of her loose shirt. Jane had started to kiss away from her lips down toward her neck. Both of them couldn't stop from moaning as there lust for each other was boiling over.

Helga watched as Jane take off her own shirt smiling as she did. After throw it somewhere on the beach, she had gripped Sinclair by the hands and with some help begin to head back to the deck of the ship. There she allowed Jane to take off the old fashioned white shirt that Syrena give her and the one thing she had been wearing since waking up. Jane decided to playfully throw that overboard as well.

They were now two women who were now both topless within the grotto. And Sinclair kept thinking in the back of her mind somehow of just how "different" Jane felt as opposite to what she was used to seeing from her. Maybe it was just how this was feeling sooooo real to her that she wasn't going to question it. Given her leg Helga felt like pausing there lovemaking as she lead on to one of the masts of the ship, the feelings were never going to leave her when it come to Jane Porter but the actual attempt of letting go of them would be the bitter and cruel thing Sinclair would ever do. It would mean she was going through with cutting off those feelings forever and she would never get them back.

Knowing that she had now the courage to ask Jane the one thing she ever wanted from her.

"Marry me" she said boldly as tears come her face as Jane begin to smile across her face. Helga don't know why she didn't do this earlier and it was may have been because of the pain of the crew abandoning her as well as everyone around her just increasing that. But somehow she know Jane would never do that to her, it was a mistake to have her leave and now she wanted mend that.

Jane turned away for a moment still smiling as she answered "YES...of course yes, i will be your bride, how could i ever reject you Helga Sinclair" They had both begin laughing and smiling as Jane rushed to hug her again. The feeling of there bodies against each other was something Helga longed for and it seemed she was not going to miss it ever again.

WASHINGTON D.C

Jane Porter had found the perfect sleeping area atop a whole group of trees near the Lincoln Monument. She felt conformable sleeping completely nude plus the fact that she would never take up Mulan's offer of even staying at Whitmore's mansion.

But this night she was having trouble sleeping as flashes of images of her and Helga come quickly

MARRY ME

I...CAN'T HELGA

WHY NOT

YOU'RE BECOMING SOMETHING...DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T FOLLOW YOU DOWN THAT PATH ANYMORE

...

POOR UNGRATEFUL LITTLE CHIEF

I OF THE MIGHTY TRIBE OF THE WARISI KNOW YOU'RE NOT DOCTOR PORTER,WHO ARE YOU?

CALL ME QUEEN LA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Suddenly Jane found herself within what like look a weird place, a strange mixture of vague ancient ruins and what look like modern buildings. She was shocked to see above her a gigantic glass dome that seemed to go on endlessly.

"What is this place?" A look of confusion was on her face as she saw some more ruins as flashes of seemed to be lighting danced around her

"By Neptune's throne, how the hell did you get here?"

It was distorted and yet it sounded like a little girl's voice like around 9 or 10 years old and strangely British as well in tone. Jane looked around her to see where it was coming from but it was hard to tell.

"Whose asking?" she shouted as the voice answered again

"Someone who doesn't take to asking stupid questions"

"Okay then...why bring me here?"

"Ohhh a SMART question and one that i will answer...

...you're girlfriend"

Now she was grinning happily and don't know why but this was first news that Helga was indeed alive...somewhere. But she just didn't know where as she wanted to question more of this thing.

"She's...she alive?"

"In a matter of speaking, yes"

"Can i see her?"

"NO...am sorry but she is part of something much more important then you!"

" What could she done to deserve that?"

"Think of it as an atonement. She and her "friends" awakened something and that something is not going to stop until it gets what it wants."

"I don't understand,was it because of this "fire metal"?"

"FIRE METAL!...by Neptune's great fish, you people are playing with dangerous unstable things. Thinkin what they were "toys" for you're bloody damn amusement!. Listen i am trying to save the world here and "you" are not making it easy for me"

"What do you want then?"

"Ohhhh this is going to be hard for you to understand but...stop looking for Helga Sinclair"

"NO!, don't ask me to do that, am not giving up on her!" she yelled out toward the ruins. She heard the voice groin in abit of annoyance

"I am not allowing you to hurt her future here nor am i ever allowing that "thing" to get out again"

"Her future?"

"Man, i can't believe am doing this but take what am about to show you as a warning!"

Suddenly she was pulled into the center of the weird unnamed city, she was surrounded by a huge endless group of masked people. She could tell all of them were women and yet they were chanting but she couldn't make out what they saying.

As she looked around her, the group of them were parting as she saw one figure standing in the middle. The figure was dressed in rags as well as the fact that they were covered in blood.

She know who it was "Helga" she said happily

She could hear her crying and yet as she moved toward her, the crowd parted. The tenseness and eeriness of it all kept her on her feet.

She kept getting quick flashes and images in her head. Scenes of people dying and always the same figure in front of them. The crowd around her were shouting out toward and yet they seemed scared to go near her

"Murderer"

"Thief"

"Usurper"

"Black god of death"

"Queen of evil"

"MONSTER"

As she neared to touching her shoulder, the crowd fell silent as Helga spoke "Why..."

"Helga, i don't know whats going on here but please just come with me" Jane sounded despise with that plea, yet Helga remand while she was.

"...Why did leave me" strangely enough she seemed to be ignoring her and it don't seem to be a question at all. "Am right here with you" Jane was not understanding what was going on here.

She keeled beside her, she had noticed Helga was wearing a mask as well and not being scared"I will always found you" she said romantically. She slowly saw Helga's face and gasped in utter shock...

A blacked ash ridden near decoying face was staring back at her, bits of her blonde hair were left with exposed white skull. One eye shown through as the other one was covered in solid ash. Her mouth and gleams was exposed out as well as her white teeth. She heard Sinclair laughing madly at her as if this was the funniest thing ever.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAH, am not beautiful" she said rather seductively as she come toward Jane
