Love is forever
When you fall
It the greatest power of all
Chapter 13: Between Two Souls
Voices were echoing through her head.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know lass."
"One minute she was fine and the next-"
"I know, I know--- but the tests I ran seem to show a massive amount of temporal displacement."
"Temporal...what?"
"That's not what concerns me."
"What's wrong?"
"Both have a similar temporal signature which is quite different from ours"
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know lass. I just don't know."
She was in a white room which pulsed with a faint glow, keeping time much like a heartbeat would. Suddenly, there was another pulse, quicker and more frantic- but it gradually slowed and matched the first. That's when she heard a sound behind her.
"Vala?"
She whirled around and saw her beloved Daniel standing before her. He was dressed in a simple blue sweater and pants that matched his eyes. She glanced down at herself and saw that she wore a simple dress that matched her own eyes.
"Vala?"
Her eyes looked up and stared at her Daniel. He was there before her, alive and well. All the emotion and trauma of the past few days (and their timelines) poured out of her as she flung herself at him. She threw her arms around his neck and buried her head into his shoulder and began to sob.
"Oh Vala..." He soothed, his hands encircling her. "...my dear Vala."
"I thought you were dead." She cried, her words muffled by her sobs. "In fact you were dead."
"I what-?"
Vala sobbed. "You died and I- I tried to save you... but I could never manage it. I had to live through those days over and over again and now..."
"...and now you tried to save me."
"I tried to save you." She confirmed.
"But I tried to save you once-" Daniel stated, furrowing his brow as she looked into his face. "-twice I think but you died."
"I did no such thing."
"But I remember." He insisted, pulling her a little closer. "I remember going back in time once, and then again. Both times people said that I was the one who had died..."
"You used the bracelet?"
"Yeah."
"Me too."
There was silence.
Then Daniel responded to Vala. "I guess all this time we were trying to save each other."
"I guess we were." She answered. Vala took a breath in and then looked around at their white surroundings. "Daniel where are we?"
"You know I have no idea..." He admitted looking around himself. "But it reminds me of the time that I communicated to you through the stone."
"You don't still think that we're connected do you?"
"Who knows," He shrugged. "-anything is possible."
Vala smiled and then the white room morphed into a maze.
"Now that's peculiar."
"Yeah," Daniel agreed. "I wonder why we're here."
"And I wonder how we get out."
"Why don't we get started on that..."
Vala looked at him confused. "...as in try to find a way out?"
"Why not?"
And with that, hand in hand- Vala and Daniel began to traverse the maze trying to find a way out.
A/N- Hello beloved readers, I hope that this wasn't too much of a cliffhanger for you guys. :D Thank you as always to my beloved loyal reviewers Shinki, HAZMOT, Enajnitram and Bri. :D I'm totally thrilled that you guys are enjoying this story because I'm writing it for you guys.
