Her heart pounded. She screamed in pain as her legs gave way to the extreme pain that seemed to blanket her. A large crature towered above her; a red orb of energy gathering at its mouth once more. The orb launched forward in a brilliant flash, turning into a laser. The beam sweapt across the ground, cutting everything into two. Screams could be heard over the roar of the surrounding flames.

Then, it seemed as if everything froze all at once. She blinked a few times, looking around. She was suspended in a sea of light. She couldnt hear the heartbroken screams, nor could she feel the sting of the flames against her skin. Instead, she felt a loving aura eminating from the non-existant water around her. Then, she heard a voice... it sounded vaguely familiar. Who's was it? "Who's there?" She said quietly; her voice echoing through the water-like surroundings.

"Sake...it's me..." The voice faded in, then out, also echoing. She could see something coming towards her. She wasn't scared... instead, she was fascinated by it. The spot of light was coming closer and closer. Soon, she could make out more of the glowing figure that was mere feet from her.

Paled skin that took on an irradescent glow covered the bare naked figure. A smiled played across his face, and behind him floated what looked to be wings of some sort. They were long, spreading like the branches of a tree. A membrane of light connect each wing. His eyes were made of the purest light imaginable that seemed to bore into her soul. He reached out to her from above and she reached back, taking his hand. A warm sensation rushed over her when their hands met. It stung for just a moment, but she ignored it. "Remember me?" She nodded to the figure.

"It's you..." She replied, her voice echoing once more. "Where-are we?"

"Does that matter?" he questioned, pulling her close, wrapping his angelic tentacle-like wings around them like a protective blanket. "We're together...I've been waiting for you..."

"Waiting...for me?" She closed her eyes and smiled, nuzzling close to the figure before her. His voice was so sweet to her, ringing through her ears like a crystal bell.

"Yes..." he stroked her cheek with one hand then pushed a lock of black hair aside so he could see into her eyes. Their faces began to grow closer and closer.

"I've been waiting too..." Then, their lips met in a deep and passionate kiss. Their fingers entertwined as they floated through what looked to be the lake in Haven Forest. Everything was just like the night that changed her life forever... the night they realized their true destiny.

"Sake..." She opened her eyes. There, standing right above her, was her mother. "Get up... that man's back..." She sat up, rubbing her head. She was back in her room... How did she get back there?

"Kaolinth?" She asked while tossing the blankets aside without even as much as a second glance.

"Yeah. He says he needs to talk to you right away." Slowly, the woman left the room and she followed suite, still wearing yet another gown the hospital had given her to wear. At the bottom of the stairs, was Kaolinth. He looked scared. "Sake, we've only got 30 minutes until the gap is sealed completely!" He nearly yelled. She stared in shock. Man time flies...

"What happened to the 4 days you said we had originally!" She was down the stairs and eye-level with him in a matter of seconds.

"You went unconcious in the hospital again! You were out for 3 and a half days!" he replied, rasing his voice to be level with hers. Why did she have such a shitty life?

"Not again.." She groaned angrily. Slowly, she removed the bracelet from her wrist. "How do I make this thing work!" He grabbed it from her and headed for the door. "What the hell are you doing!" She yelled, following him towards the front door of the house.

"If we open the portal in your house, you can kiss it and anyone in it goodbye!" She nodded, not sure how the hell that would happen. "We have to open it outside!"

"Outside!" She looked outside at the clouds. Another storm had come about over their home. "Are you CRAZY! Everyone will see us!"

"No, they won't remember it at all!" He stood out on her carport, watching the purple lightning streak through the darkened blanket of clouds. She gave him a death glare. "Trust me." Well, she had no other choice but to trust him.

"But I haven't said goodbye to everyone yet!" She grabbed his arm, staring at him with pleading eyes. He shook his head.

"Sake, I'm sorry... but if you want to return, we have to leave now... we've already wasted anough time chatting..." he rested his hands on her shoulders, smiling warmly. Then he took both of the bracelets and ripped one of the purple stones from each. The stones began to glow a bright putple and he raised them into the air. Lightning seemed to become more sparatic and wild and in a mere second, several bolts connected with the ground. "There's your ride home!" She stared at it in borror. he expected her to walk into a pillar of LIGHTNING!

"What!" He urged her to go but she looked back at her mother, who was also outside with them.

"Go Sake..." She hugged her mother tightly; her tears of sorrow and happiness dropping and mixing with the swirling wind.

"I'll miss you.." She backed away as Kaolinth took her arm and lead her towards the portal. Her thoughts swirled in her head as she stared into the pillar of light. This was it... He stepped into the pillar of electricity, pulling her in as well. What timing, because at that very moment, the lighthing went back to the clouds. The storm was over in a matter of seconds...

Jak's world-

"Where's Jak!" called a voice over an intercom. The voice belonged to a rather tall man with silvery dreadlocks and small spikes coming from the scalp of his balded head.

"He's on a mission!" Replied a rather odd looking creature. Bright red feathers covered its body ending in an array of blue and yellow on its stomach and the bottoms of its wings.

"Pecker, come to my throne room immediatly! I'm picking up a signal from the desert, and we've got a seriously strong sandstorm moving in!" The tall figure stood and waited for the winged creature. A little while later, the bird appeared holding a beacon device. The two climbed into a large wheeled vehicle and headed out into the desert. After battling the harsh winds and whipping sands, they came up on a figure laying face down in the sand. He could tell it was a female because of her slender figure. With a quick movement of his staff, he flipped the barely clothed figure over. Pecker stared in disbelief.

"Jak's not going to believe this..."

CLIFFIE! not...
