Chapter 12: Sacrifices

Isabella's POV

"No..." I breathed. I saw that a couple of World Six members had tied to Luke to a chair and had a knife to his throat.

"We know that you're the boyfriend of the girl who killed Maia. So unless you want to join Maia in the afterlife, I suggest you tell us where she is." A guy with black hair threatened.

I couldn't keep the yell back anymore. "LUKE! I'm here, let him go!"

They turned around and the one holding the knife said, "Alright, but only if you come with us. If you don't, not only will your boyfriend die, the whole world will die. The rest of World Six has bombs ready to blow at a moments notice. So either you die, or the whole world does. Your choice."

"No Isabella! Don't do it!" Luke yelled hysterically.

I started to cry lightly and said, "I'm sorry Luke, but I have to." I looked the one with knife right in the eye. "I'll go with you when you let him go free."

He nodded and cut the ropes binding Luke. He pushed Luke out of chair ruffly and signaled for me to come forward. I slowly made my way to World Six. As I passed Luke, I looked up at him, praying that he'll understand. I saw in his eyes that he did, but he didn't like it. I cried harder at the thought that I'll never see him again.

"I have one request before I go." I said.

"Which is?" The leader eyed me suspiciously. I whispered in his ear what I wanted to do. "Alright, but stay here."

I walked up to Luke grabbed his hand in my hands. Then I slowly leaned in a kissed him tenderly on the lips. I ended the kiss before he even had time to react. I released his hand and walked back to World Six and got onto the plane.

Meanwhile (Ella's POV)

Soon after Harvestman left, I heard a scream that was cut off. I ran to where to scream came from and saw that there was two navi's in the way. Behind them, I saw that Harvestman was restrained so he'd get hurt if he tried to get out.

"What do you want with him?" I demanded.

"Nothing from him, but something from you." A blue one said. "I'm Floodman and this is Poisonman. If you come with us, we won't destroy the whole cyber world. If you don't, World Six will flood the whole cyber world and then blow it up!"

'These guys are insane!' I thought. '...But I have to do it for the safety of the world.'

"Alright, I'll go with you. Though I have one request before I go." I said.

"What?" Poisonman asked. I whispered it in their ears. "Fine, but you have to stay where we can see you."

I nodded and walked up to Harvestman and looked him in the eye before kissing him tenderly on the lips.

I walked away and saw that he was shocked. Poisonman and Floodman got rid of his restraints allowing him to walk free again.

"Alright, let's go." I said and walked between Poisonman and Floodman. Slowly, the poison water around us disappeared and I cast one, sad glance back at Harvestman, who was now on his knees, crying.

I kept my head held up high, and started to cry.

(Luke's POV)

I watched helplessly as Isabella was dragged into the plane. I quickly grabbed my PET and jacked Harvestman out. I looked around for Isabella's, but I couldn't find it. I came to the conclusion the World six took it and got Ella.

"No time to worry about that now! I've got to get on that plane!" I said to myself.

I hid behind an old barrel and watched as the last person got onto the plane. I saw that the door was still open, so I made a dash for it. I got in right before the door closed.

"Just made it." I mumbled under my breath. I looked around and found an empty room I could hide in for now.

"Alright Harvestman, we're safe for now." I said and glanced at my PET and saw that Harvestman had passed out for some bizzar reason.

I sweat dropped but let him sleep. Only then did I realize that the whole time, I had something in my right hand. When I opened my hand, I saw something that I had forgotten about until just now.

It was a blue feather I gave to Isabella as a gift when we where 5!
