Mina had came back from the small breakfast buffet downstairs when she saw that Carrie was dressing up and preparing herself for an apparent fight. Mina asked:

-What's the matter Carrie?

-I found one of the main hideouts of the Red Swords... she says.

-Really? Where?

-A few miles away, close to some sort of cliff and a large mass of water...

-Then let's go!

After Mina and Carrie were ready to go and on their way, they felt more stressed than ever. They were both wanted dead by the Red Swords after all. While they were running to their destination, Carrie asks:

-So...What do they want from you...?

-They probably want me because I'm one of the last survivors in my family...But I'm not sure...What I do know though is that they want me because of my relationship with Hebi..., Mina explains.

-The black snake?

-Yes...He's from the specie called Solitary Snake. I'll explain you the origin of the name later. Anyhow, a solitary snake can absorb any kind of poison and create an antidote for it. They also have the ''receipe'' in their system so they can recreate both the poison and the antidote for it.

-Nice!

-Yeah...But they can only devellope this ability if they have some one they love with them, a friend so they can grow basically. And in Hebi's case I'm the friend, and that's why they wanna kill me, because if I die Hebi will grow very weak and could die...If they don't kill him first. Oh, and it could be because I have the white side of Death inside of me...

-Unh?

-You see, Death is splited in two, black side and white side. The black side is the sane, nice, quiet, resonable one. the white side is insane, sadistic, loud and wants to take as much souls as possible. When my whole family got killed, the white side of Death, who was chained, maintained and controled by the black side of Death, escaped. The only way to stop it was to seal it into the most recent form of life in the area, me. Because of that, I couldn't sleep, at all. But when I was 1 year old, the black side of death gave me this.(she shows a pendent with a ying-yang at the end of it) That made me capable of sleeping and being inconsious without having the danger of the white side taking over my body...But it's still hard to cointain since it just never shuts up. So they want to kill me for that too.

-I see...I'm sorry.

-It's fine. It might take them a long time before they figure out who I am... Because...They're like me.

-In what way?

-They don't know my last name.

A surprised silence followed, and Carrie could find anything to say but this:

-Well...I definetely don't know my last name...I don't have one!

-Yeah...I understand.

-We're there!

Both girls stop and hide behind a large truck. The building is a three story tall brick wall building that seems to have a big garage beside it, attached to it.

-''That's it...'', Mina thinks. Carrie...she whispers. We could go in with that garage there...

-How? We'll be seen...!

-No we won't.

Mina takes Carrie,s hand and they both become invisible to any one else's eyes exept Mina's. They step into the building and they both become visible again. Because she went invisible for a little while, Mina is having as small headache. She murmurs:

-So, it's the leader we're looking for?

-Exactly. Could you uh...Ditsact the guards inside if there's some?, Carrie asks.

-Yeah sure, if they don't recognize me...

They step into the actual building and get into a dark hallway with many wooden doors, they even see rats, but no human.

-''Maybe they want to make people think this is abandoned...'', Mina thinks.

they then hear voices talking. They go the the source: a closed door that just happened to be the only one with a hole in in. Mina peeps and sees 5 man talking around a table. One of them is also looking at a digital devide in his hand.

-Hey carrie..., Mina whispers. Is one of those the leader?

Carrie looks and then nods, and talking only with her lips she says:

-The man in the black and blue uniform, at the further end of the table...

-''Jackpot!'',Mina thinks.

But then the man with the digital device says:

-There's one girl and one female diclonius outside the room...

-Oh really?... the leader says.

-''How?'', Mina thinks, when she sees a night vision camera at the end of the hallway. ''Shit...So that device was connected to it...''

One of the man quickly opens the door, but Carrie's vectors can't reach the leader, and the man that opened the door takes advantage of this and shoots her in the right shoulder. Mina quickly takes Carrie and starts to run toward the exit. Once she's outside she makes a clone and the clone goes in an other direction waving her arms saying:

-Hey! Come an get me if you can...!

Meanwhile Mina runs in the woods, healing Carrie a little bit untile she can run by herself. They continue to run until they get to a small clearance( maybe 8 m by 10 m), and to a cliff.

-Damn! I forgot about that cliff!, Mina says.

The five man then reach the girls, the leader included. Carrie kills 3 of them, who were in a range of 6 meters, right away. Mina runs to one of them and tries to cut his throat with a kunai, but he dodges and hits her on the temple with the but of his gun. mina falls to the ground, dizzy but still concious. the man sees that and hits her again on the face, causing her lower lip to split. Blood from her wounds started to drip off her head and got a little bit of blood in her left eye. The man was going to shoot Mina when he exploded into pieces of blood and flesh, probably because of Carrie. A second after Mina hears a loud ''thonk'' and turns around to see carrie incouncious with the leader ready to shoot her in the head. He was starting to pull the trigger when Mina jumped on him and off the cliff, with him. As they fall the man stabs Mina in the stomach, they hit numbers of time the cliff's rocky edge, causing both of them to have broken bones, and Mina takes a 10 cm long needle and peirces his right temple. His grip loosens and she kicks him away slightly before hitting large rocks again and falling into the water. Although she's still alive, Mina can't move and is stuck underwater. She takes a lot of energy to turn her head but sees nothing but the water around, she coughs a large amount of blood, but it soon dissipates in the water. She can barely feel her body and can't breathe.

-''Is it the end?...'' she thinks as she can feel her mind drifting into inconciousness.

When she was about to faint, Mina had the time to feel a hand grab her left arm and pull her. Then everything went black. She then wakes up, but now it's night and she's on a small beach, the cliff being a few kilometers away. Mina then hears a gasp, then Carrie's voice:

-Mina! Oh thank god you're alive!

-Of course I'm alive..., Mina says in a raspy voice, then clears her throat. Thanks for saving me...

-Um...It wasn't me...!

Mina, who was now sitting looks at her in a startled questionning look. Carrie continues:

-I woke up and saw that nobody around me was alive, and the leader was nowhere to be found...So I started to search for you...I couldn't find you...I've been searching for 3 hours! Then I found you a couple of minutes ago... You were breathing, but you wouldn't answer...

-So...who saved me?, Mina asks. Do you know?

-I don't know...! But who ever did it isn't anywhere close. But...

-But what?

-Never mind...I just remembered something I felt a few minutes before I got knocked out.

-What is it?

-I said never mind...

There was no anger in her tone, just fear. They left and decided to head back for Mina's home. Once they got there Hebi was obviously more than happy to see them alive, but concerned because of their bruises and wounds. Because they were exhausted, both girls fell asleep almost immidiatly. The next day, Carrie decided to leave, so Mina gave her some heart shaped cookies for the road.

-Thanks. I'll miss you...!, Carrie says. If I ever come close to here I'll come and says hi..!

-Yeah sure..! But where are you gonna go?

-Meh...Find some sort of job I guess...See ya!

She leaves and Mina goes back to her usual unusual life.
