Noah

"Steph..... please...... don't change....."

I said that out knowing full well that he could hear me even now. I did care about my family but, this guy in front of me, my friend, was the one who made me worry most. I said this out now of all times, cause I didn't want to see his expressionless face, when I was hoping this out of him. 

Just like before, he carried Miss Emma and jumped down. And now stood just two steps behind me. If this was some other time, I would have made fun of him giving Miss Emma a princes carry but, things were not like that anymore. And I didn't want to make eye-contact with him either. And then I saw a car rushing straight to us.

".....that's"

[ So..... she could...... that's why!]

With the sight in front of him, I understood Stefan's actions. Why did he scream? Why did I save Miss Emma? For whom were we waiting? For whom are we waiting?

[.......She was also..........]

Jennifer

I took a car, or I stole one. Rushed straight toward the school. When I got near I heard a scream. From the sound of it, it was Noah's and from the way it was like he jumped out from the 6th floor down.

I increased the speed trying to get there faster, daunting  myself for entrusting Ann to steph was right. But to my surprise he survived that.

[Huh.... the orange flame..... didn't burn out.]

I was in shock when another orange flame started to move. Moving to the edge of the roof maybe trying the same way to come down but this time, there were no screams, but I heard something.

<Steph..... please...... don't change.....>

[Why is he...... sound sad.... what happened?]

To my own question I could take some wild guesses but at his voice my hopes went up but some doubts rose too. Ignoring them all, I went full speed to them.

[..... wait!!! Why...... why couldn't I sense him..... and why is it different?]

Within seconds, I reached them and hit the brakes real hard. For some luck I had, it didn't deal any damage nor anything. But now when I could see the orange fire I sensed early, I guessed it was noah. Which was normal and the second fire was actually Ann. And Stefan who was carrying her had blue eyes which felt deep, his black hair was like the darkest night. But now I could sense him when he was in front of me, there was a purple fire burning, bigger than others or the ones I have seen till now. I could feel even the heat from him.

I got off just while looking at stefan's eyes and just like I was saying but I suddenly felt something and stepped back and stuck to the car as my instinct screamed suddenly.

"Get on, we have dea-]

*dam*

[Huuh....... what was that..... it felt like I was.... getting squished or...... what in the...]

"What are you two..... doing? Get on! We got moved."

Noah was the one to say something while what I did, Stefan did something the same. He leapt a few steps back without making any sounds.

When we both were catching our breath again, Noah got inside the car. Waiting for us now.

"Get on guy's! I need to get to..... my family."

Stephan went and started putting Ann on the front seat and I talked to him for the first time. While I can't forget what I felt just now, I didn't know why but I was pretty happy and excited to talk to him.

"What are you..... doing?"

"Putting Miss Emma...... at her seat!"

"No! You will be the one...... in front. I can't drive safely while you sit behind......... me."

"Same here! I can't be comfortable beside-"

"JUST SHUT UP AND DO AS SHE SAID STEFAN!!!"

To my surprise, it was Noah who yelled at him and made both of us shut. And Stefan this time did just as he said. I never thought Noah would be like this, the funny and life-enjoying guy was not there anymore.

[ was...... he......*sigh*. just..... don't forget what you..... said to stefan..... whatever happens...]

".....don't lose....yourself..."

I said it for both of my new friends or companions. Who will be sharing my day and food from now on. If it was like before we could hit it big and nice but, if they lose themself. It will be a lot harder.

"... why did she.... faint?"

[Why did I...... suddenly ask that?]

".............Some horrible sights."

"Couldn't you...... deal with that?"

[ I want to get angry but...... why can't I..... agin him......... why are my emotions so..... messed...]

"..... she is alive.

"Huh....."

"Isn't that enough?"

[Ahggggg this guy...... he....... maybe he will die by m-]

"......"

Suddenly, I felt my heart respond to my thoughts just now. And Steph , who might be the reason for all this, was staring at me from the corner of his eyes.

".... thanks! For saving her and..... bring her back to me..."

" Don't need to thank, you  just...... help us out for our... his too."

"......consider it done!"

I was thinking why he said 'his' after 'our' and then, I remembered the vibration I felt.

[NO, just don't....... it will be fine!!!]

I drove through the road, it wasn't easy. There was a lot of mess while some parts of the road were pretty neat. Aunt was faint but the rest of us did not talk. Stefan who sat beside me, my heart was like a train. My whole being was screaming I should be with him, he is dangerous but. My soul or heart was feeling warm, that this is the safest place in the world. I was feeling pretty happy too. I just don't understand myself anymore.

[Huh.... it's still burning.]

"Sorry to tell but I think we have to go-"

"Don't! We can't waste time."

"Stephan! It's not wasting time. It's saving someone."

"That kid is good as dead. Waste of time."

[This...motherfu-]

*singh*

"Listen here. We are going to save them."

"What are you two talking about?"

Noah, who got confused by our sudden burst out talking. Calmed us both with his question and confused expression.

"There is a kid trapped there. I want to save her but this, your bestie is stopping me."

"Is she still alive?"

"Yes!"

"Then why are you wasting time? Save her."

"Noe, we can't was-"

"SHUT UP STEPHAN!!! Miss Jennifer, you know where she is right? Let's go there and save her."

[Now that's some.... good guy!!!]

"You can drop the 'miss', Noe."

[Aaa Noe!!! So cute and feels so good to say it.]

"Fine! Do whatever you wanna do, I will catch up later!"

"WAIT WHERE ARE-"

"WOOAA-"

Saying that stephan just jumped off the car and vanished.I stopped the car and looked back and he was nowhere to find.

"Is he always this..... Annoying jerk?"

"No!! He just........ I don't know anymore!"

[Is he....sad for that 'trash'..... I will smack his skull open next time.]

"Don't worry, he said...... he will come back."

That was all I could say to him. I started driving to the kid's again. After a few minutes of driving, I stopped the car in front of a building.

"There are inside, I am going ahead!!!"

Shouting that I went ahead to the kid, leaving Noah to follow me. I was sure that no living being threatening his life was around. So it was safe for him.

Noah

Miss Jennifer who ran straight to the building made me realize that only stephan and miss jennifer were the only people who could survive in this hell now.

[ WHAT'S WITH THAT.... speed. Holy Crap i am as good as dead if we don't..... have them.]

Miss Emma was faint, Stephan ran away somewhere leaving only both of us but I could care less about that anymore. 

While my heart was screaming of excitement that I got to talk to her or sat in the same car with her, on the other side I was feeling soo, weak. I didn't know how miss jennifer and stephan were able to do these but, this was the only way to survive in this world now. 'I have to be with them' that was what my instinging were telling, an instinging for my survival.

I ran to the building in hell itself. The entrance was broken, no doors. People laying here and there all got chewed and blood was flowing in the ground.

[ this is..... I have to get to miss jennifer]

I took the stairs, following what I thought where she went. On the second floor there was a hole in the wall. I walked through the area seeing blood and people's bodies which were not eaten. I had the urge to puke but I held it in.

"Wahhhhhhh"

"That's.."

I heard a kid's cry just from ahead. I ran to the voice of the source.

"Don't look at it..... I will heal it kid.."

"Whhhaa... it's hurts ... it's hurts sister..AAAAAA I DON'T... I...can't....."

"Shhhhh it's fine that..... breath okay... noah... come help me]

"...huh... yeah"

A girl, no more than 5, was in front of me. She had an iron rod pass through her tummy, hand and legs. Even her eyes on the left side were hurt. I don't know why it left the kid alone but I wanted to end this kid misery more than anymore.

[Steph.... you were righ-]

"Shhh don't  cry sweetie.... your big sister gonna take this rod out..... and heal you just hold...... onto this big brother here."

"WhhaaAa.... dont dont REMOVE IT ITS HURTS..."

"HEY HEY little princess..... look at me... common it's just a rod... it will be gone before you know, now.... now my strong prince can..."

I ran out of words. I held her and she was pinching me unknowingly on my back. I didn't know what to do anymore.

Miss Jennifer, who was pulling the rod carefully, had a sadistic expression on her but her hand never shook like mine, nor was she nervous. She did what could have been done with what we had. And just like that after a mint we successfully took the rod out of her tommy.

Miss Jennifer started to tie the bandage she had, and the kid who was screaming was now getting quiet and quiet. We both knew what was going to happen.

"Hey hey...... prince wake up...... you can't sleep just yet."

"It...... h-hurt big.... bro..."

"Don't just talk.... don't close your eyes okay...... your sister is healing you so just..... hang in there...."

While what I said, my feelings contradicted it. I wanted to end her life peacefully now. Any more than this is just cruelty to her than our morals.

'Farway in the silence. '

"Hmmmm....... should I....... go and meet him now?"

The beautiful lady stood, her graceful appearance which could charm every single being. She closed her eyes and before even the world could react, she was gone from where she stood.
