"So what do you think we're supposed to do now? We didn't get a note," I asked Kai.
"You're supposed to flow me," came a voice from behind us.
I turned and extended Black Rose to its full six feet length.
"Oh, put down your weapons, Rebecca de Ezio and Kai Xiao Long. I'm not here to harm you, if I wanted to harm you I would have already. Just please come with."
We looked at each other and nodded, "Fine."
Marie looked almost relieved.
She lead us to what looked like an asylum. I stopped.
No, not again! I can't go back!
"No, I'm not sending you to the asylum! This is where you need to go. Trust me. I wouldn't ever do that to you!"
"Couldn't you just tell us that in one of your note," Kai asked harshly.
"No, I couldn't. It's not because of the location. It's because of when it is."
"Hold on… did you just say when," Kai laughed.
"Yes, I did. That's why I had to come with you. And I promise I'll answer all of your questions once this is all over."
She started to lead us in but I was still reluctant to follow her. She lead us down many hallways and corridors, til we came to a dark door with what looked like the same thing that Elizabeth opened up back at the prison.
Marie started… I guess… pulling at the edges like trying to push apart two selves. When it opened up completely I jumped back, smacking into Kai.
"What the ****ing Five Hells is that, Marie? You're gonna to tell me exactly what the ****ing Five Hells that is, Marie," I screamed.
"It's a Tear."
"What the ****ing Five Hells is a Tear!?"
"A Tear is a rip in the dimensional time and space, revealing an alternate universe, which does not exist in the current world," she explained calmly.
"Ha! You've got to be ****ing kidding me! That sounds ridiculous!"
"Alright, the swearing's getting a little excessive, why don't we all take our foot off the swear pedal. And I'll explain everything later. Just please trust me. I promise nothing will happen to you. I'll be here to bring you both back."
"Fine," Kai spoke up.
And he pushed me through whatever that thing was.
I was about to rip into him when I saw Booker.
"What! It's a Tear. What is it-," he said.
Oh, sure he knows what a 'tear' is.
"Why do you ask 'what'," Kai started.
"When the delicious question is 'when'," I finished.
"Lives, lived, will live."
"Dies, died, will die."
Throughout the whole conversation the lights kept flickering then the lights went completely off and we found ourselves right back where we were with Marie standing in front of us. "You son of…" but inside of trying to hit her I fainted.
