AN: Hey people! Ready for another chapter? Again, real sorry for not updating, for like, A YEAR. Lol! Neway, feeling kind of sad right now, so on with the chapter.
Sakura glared intently at Dilandau, her eyes filled with hate. He was sitting there, one leg on the table, drinking, and staring intently himself at the fire, as the fire snaked its flame up the air and back down. Everything on her body hurt like hell. Dilandau had almost killed her the other night... She stopped her thought right there. Thinking about it made her feel weak, she knew she wasn't that weak, but it made him seem like the big bad wolf. And since she got that aura from him, she figured he had power.
Dilandau's eyes suddenly fixed on her. "Why the hell is she staring at me?" Dilandau thought. He didn't have time to think any further about it. The door swung open, and Folken walked in slowly. His black cape dragged on the floor behind him, and made Sakura look up at the sound. Swish, swish. Swish Swish. She snapped out of it and sat up straight. Folken made his way to the front of the room where Sakura sat, looking pissed and tired. He set a cold hand on Sakura's shoulder, preparing to speak.
Sakura immediately shrugged it off looking away. She wasn't about to listen to this bastard lecture. If he tried anything, she would take action. She was ready for anything after what Dilandau did. Not to mention what he said. Folken sighed. "Sakura, I am Lord Folken of the Zaibach Empire, and I would like to welcome you to the Ziabach Dragonslayers." Folken said. A large smirk appeared on her mouth, and her eyes made a look of carelessness. Folken sensed this, and decided to keep moving on. "Well becoming a Dragonslayer would help you improve your battle skills to kill Kaylee and Missy." Folken said. Sakura looked up with surprise. Who were these people? Kaylee? Missy? What the fuck? Sakura decided to just ask Folken, after all, what is the worst he could do? "What the hell are you taking about ?" Sakura said, her voice sounding forced.

"Don't you remember, they were the people who brought you to the Ziabach Empire." Folken replied in a sly voice. Sakura suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm, and her face twisted into a look of pain. She looked up and saw a man in a white lab coat injecting a turquoise looking liquid into her blood. She felt it suddenly surge through her and seemingly straight into her brain. Dilandau, who had just been sitting there with an amused look on his face, started to snicker. But she wasn't about to give up, not yet. Sakura grabbed the man's hand, and twisted his hand around causing him to drop the needle and cry out.
Sakura took this opportunity right away and bolted out of her chair and to the door. Her hand grasped the knob and shook it wildly. The door was locked. Perfect.
Dilandau snapped out of his daze and ran up to Sakura, his sword above her head. Sakura spun around and grabbed his sword as he was about to make the down on her. She didn't have to struggle very hard to stop the sword from slicing her in half, she was stronger than before, especially since now she wasn't exhausted from running up and down the fortress. She noticed a pair of keys dangling from Dilandau's belt, and let go of the sword and grabbed the keys, just as she heard the clang of Dilandau's sword hit the ground behind her. Sakura fumbled with the keys and managed to get the door open, amazingly even before Dilandau had time to take in what had just happened.
Her feet took action before her brain and ran like hell. She ran into some of Dilandau's Dragonslayers on the way, but managed to get a room with a bunch of guymelefs. She jumped into one before she realized she didn't even know how to fly the thing, if it could fly. Suddenly, a silent swish ran through her head, but the weird thing was, it didn't happen where she was. And she was in reality. She tried to shake it off, but it wouldn't move from her brain. A bunch of images ran through her head and she squeezed her eyes shut. It must have been that shit that the man from the lab put in her arm, she thought. But no, it seemed like something different. Like a memory from a dream. Her shot open, as she realized what position she was in. Ziabach soldiers coming, get out, now! She stared at the inside of the guymelef. Her eyes adjusted fully and the images flashed through her head again. Everything inside the machine seemed to come together, like someone had taught her how to do it. Before she knew it, she knew how to work the guymelef, just like that.
Sakura started it up and flew it out of the fortress. She looked down for a safe place to land, as her eyes flashed franticly around the ground below her, while trying to pay attention to flying too. She spotted a small grassy hill next to some kind of a forest. The grassy green reminded her of Myea. She flew down a bit too fast and tried to pull up, but she knew she was in store for a rough landing. The legs of the guymelef slammed into the ground, giving her a nasty bruise on one of her legs, but she shook it off. Steam poured from the guymelef as she wobbled quickly away from it and behind the grassy hill, in case any Ziabachians were following her, which they probably were.
Sakura waited, and sure enough, several blue guymelefs and a red one zoomed overhead without noticing her, she hoped. She inspected her leg, and it wasn't that bad, but where the man had given her the shot, she feared it was kicking in, whatever he put into her. She didn't have anytime to even think on it. Her arms fell limp, just like that. Her legs went stiff and then limp also and her face muscles relaxed. Her eyelids got heavy and darkness slowly enveloped her and dragged her into a forced slumber.
