CH6: Realization
She screamed again. She recalled when her father had told her about Fina's torture by her ex-best friend.
It gave her strength.
Marlinda coughed up blood. Her tears became red. red hot fire was deep inside her. And it hurt.
So this is what it is like to die...

One of the things that really surprised Tiria when she woke up was Ramirez stooping over her.
Another was the fact that he had this really scary look in his eyes.
And the last reason was that she was on the floor.
She yelped and sat up, knocking him to the floor beside her. ramirez sighed and stood up.
"Ok. First you faint, then you knock me off when I'm trying to wake you up. great. Just great."
"Sorry."
Now Moegi came into view. Tiria flushed.
"...I'm...sorry."
She smiled. "So when you saw me not crying, you actually fainted. I don't really think it was that big a shock."
Tiria smiled faintly.
"It was a shock."
"I can see that.Now you know what a shock is. So tell me..." Her expression slowly became pained again. "...do you have any ideas where Marlinda is?"
She shook her head.
"No."
Moegi sighed and got up, pulling Tiria up with her. Enrique came in. He seemed to be gasping for breath, and was holding a letter in his hands, Willy on his shoulders. He held the paper infront of Moegi, which she snatched and read. Her face paled.
Tiria bit her lip and tip toed over.
"What is it?"
Slowly, with trembling hands, Moegi handed her the letter. Tiria read it aloud, just to make sure it was real:
"I have her."
A smaller piece of paper flitted out of a fold. Tiria picked it up, just now noticing they were alone in the meeting room, she, and the royal couple.
It was a picture of Marlinda.
Bleeding.
Hurt.
In pain.
Almost dead.
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*~^~*^~*^~*^~*~^*~^~*^~*^~*~^*^~*~^*~^*^~*^~
Pain is everything, it means "All is lost." But one little girl destroys that theory.
~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~*^~
She was beyond pain. Beyond hurt. Beyond feeling.
All there was were her thoughts.
How long ago had it been that Galcian had snatched the small helpless bird out of the air and wrote a note to her family and friends?How long ago had she gained hope realizing that small helpless bird was Willy? How long ago had she lost that precious hope?
Too long.
Way too long.
She only hoped it would actually reach them.
But how many times had she gotten her hopes up?
Too many.
Her thoughts clouded.
I need to get out of here.
