Chapter 3

Lost hope, lost love

The two of them stayed to together for what seemed like hours. They talked about what could've happened, and then the mood started to get gloomy. They then started to talk about what they did during the time before the explosion. They had a merry time talking about their days in high school, and days in college as well. After the merry talk was over, they grew quiet. Awkward silence was all around them, until Brian decided to speak first;

"L-lucia" he said. "C-c-can you p-please get m-m-me some of those a-a-ashes f-from over t-there?"

"Of course" She replied. She got up and went over to the spot where Brian was talking about, when she felt the ground shake again.

"Oh no." She thought to herself "Not again!"

This time, she dropped the ashes ran back to Brian and threw her body on top of his. She embraced him, ready for the explosion, when she heard a different kind of sound. No, it wasn't a person's voice, but it wasn't an explosion either. She looked up to see what was going on, and she was shocked. Darkness darker then the blackest night seemed to emerge from the ground like a hole. Out of this dark hole came out this ball of purple slime. It was clear like a mirror, yet it looked rigid with tiny spikes. The purple ball began to shake, and some of the particles dropped back into the hole. The ball began to take shape into something, something that is alive. An animal? A fish? No, it was a human. A human body soon was formed out of the unanimous purple slime ball. The parts began to solidify. The slender looking legs, the big bosom; if she didn't know better, Lucia would've thought the ball wasn't forming a man, but a

Woman. It was an amazing sight. The purple matter changed into the color of a regular human skin. Clothes began to form over the skin like water over a glass top. It started from the top, and then went down to cover the rest of the body. When all matter was solidified, a women, looking no older then 24, was dressed in a dress of black with what- seemed-to-be blood stains. In fact, she looked stunning if it weren't not the fact that she was, was different. She held the aura of a person who would not only see you laugh if you die, but just out-right kill you with no mercy. She also had an evil sneer on her face, something that never seemed to wipe off.

Now, this woman began walking toward the two hero, and promptly stopped in front of them. She one looked at both, and said two words "You DIE!"

She then gave a good punch into Lucia's stomach. She collapsed onto the ground, holding onto her stomach in pain.

"This thing" she thought" It isn't human!"

The women then took a several footsteps back, and made this formation with her hands. She screamed in this unknown language, and then a green fireball formed. She seemed to focus harder, and the fireball grew bigger and bigger till it was the size of a soccer ball. Her sneer grew even nastier as she said her final word to Lucia "Bye!"

The ball was blasted, and then it came straight toward her. She was stunned, she was frozen by fear. She knew that escaping was impossible, and that she couldn't survive this. She said her final prayers, and then there was a flash of green light, and an explosion.

When all the smoke from the blast disappeared, Lucia finally decided to open her eyes. She gasped at what she saw; Brian, on the ground, his hips literally still burning.

"BRIAN!" She screamed as she bent down toward him. He was barely alive, and Lucia knew this well.

"Oh Brian, how could you? Risking your life for me. I don't deserve this!"

Brian looked up toward Lucia, and said these words:

"L-l-l-l-lucia, I l-l-o-vv-eee y-"

Then he his soul left his body. He moved on… Forever

"NOOO! Brian! BRIAN!" She screamed.
