Song: The First Times by Michelle Branch and Is This the End? By Creed

Chapter 2: The Remedy

You tell me I dwell on the past; I can't hold everything against you But you never forget the first times, and she was there to see you through And it makes me sound a fool, but every little thing we do, she's there too

You tell me don't worry bout her; you say you're with me for good now
But since then she's come to be a presence, and I don't know how And it makes me feel a fool, cuz every little thing we do, she's done with
you

Lauren slowly walked over to Vaughn and put her hand on his shoulder. At first he didn't notice her body until she coughed loudly almost into his ear. He had been to busy staring and gazing at a certain someone.

"You're looking at her", she scowled

"I'm allowed to look at people", he responded

"Not at her"

"Lauren, just stop"

And I'm falling in love with you; I don't need her here too
And I'm holding just one hand; I don't wanna let you through
Until I'm alone to fall in love with you, just you

You tell me I argue too much about her, and it's always me
Who brings up the subject on the hour, oh, you just can't see That the reason I'm a fool, is that every little thing we do, she's there
too

"No. You still love her. Why the hell do you still love her?"

"I do not. Sydney is my friend. And my friend only"

Lauren sneered. She knew that he was lying. Someday she was going to get rid of that bitch once and for all. It would do everyone some good if she was dead. Or so she thought.

You tell me don't worry about her; you say you weren't that close anyway
But I know that this is a lie, cuz you won't take sides And it makes you look a fool, cuz every little thing I do, you blame on you

And I'm falling in love with you; I don't need her here too
And I'm holding just one hand; I don't wanna let you through
'Till I'm alone
Leave me alone
She won't
Leave me alone . . .

"Friend. Right..."

"Lauren, be quiet!"

"The past is nothing but the future", she mumbled before walking away

And I'm falling in love with you; I don't need her here too
And I'm holding just one hand; I don't wanna let you through
Until I'm alone to fall in love with you

I'm falling in love with you; I don't need her here too
And I'm holding just one hand; I don't wanna let you through
Until I'm alone to fall in love

You tell me I dwell on the past; I can't hold everything against you
But you never forget the first times
No you never forget her first times, do you

Jack had been watching Lauren and Vaughn from afar. They clearly had been having a fight of some sort. He knew it was because Vaughn had been staring Sydney. That's what always started there fights. Sydney.

The rage in my eyes....
Could have compared to the eye of a sun
Then rain
Took its course through the hands of the Son
Repent for all time
The world is at war leaving all faults behind
So is this the end for us my friend?
So is this the end for us my friend?
The stains in the sky
Are there to remind us of man and his fight
When two worlds collide
One steals the life like a thief in the night
So look to the sky
He holds the keys for your life and mine
So is this the end for us my friend?
So is this the end for us my friend?
So is this the end for us my friend?
Well as though we rise
As the day breaks the dawn
And as the moon hides the sun
Oh, the sun
No more sorrow
All those crying days are gone
No more sorrow, now it's gone
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
So is this the end for us my friend?
So is this the end for us my friend?
So is this the end for us my friend?
So is this the end for us my friend?

No one could hear her screams as she plunged into darkness. At first she had thought she might die. But now. Now the worst was yet to come. Irina held on for dear life as the waves almost covered her whole body. She had to warn Anya. Even though she had been the second to see the sun set Irina some what liked her. Even though their relationship would never go past it. Anya was still just a pawn in her little plan. A plan that might not get accomplished now. But it had to get done. She had to save Sydney.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anya carefully and gracefully put her precious book down. It was about Rambaldi and explained everything about him and his prophecies. She had to know about him if she was to part of it. It being, well, none of any ones business. The only people that knew about this were Irina Derevko and Mitchell Kolen.

She picked up the phone and dialed a number. Secret number to be exact. Not even Irina knew about the person that she had been secretly contacting. And if Irina ever did find out, then, Anya could be in big trouble.

"Hello", a mysterious voice said

"Hi. This is Anya"

"Oh"

"Have they found any leads yet?"

"Not that I know of"

"Good. Call me if they do"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lauren fumbled with her phone as she dialed another phone number. Talking to that bitch was a hassle. So bossy and demanding. Do this. Do that. Make sure you get the information for me. Blah. Blah. Blah. It was no surprise that the person she had just talked was related to "them".

"This is Lauren"

"It's five in the morning here, love", Sark said

"Sorry"

"What do you want?"

"I just talked to her"

"You did?"

"Yes"

"What did she say?"

"That she was "disappointed" in me"

"Hmph. Figures"

"Oh, shutup"

"Well, I have to go. Bye"

"See you later"

"Not if I see you first, love"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"She worked for Sd-6"

Sydney tried to make words come out but she couldn't. Anya had been working with her the whole time? Had she been a mole too for someone else? To confusing. Way to confusing. Great. More confusion.

"She did?"

"That's what it says here"

"Make sure it's correct"

"I already did"
