The Fallen (On Hiatus)

Chapter 19

It's been two weeks now and Sarah still wasn't able to find her talisman. What also bothered her, was that Alexander was mysteriously nowhere to be found. Despite her worries, she still tried her best to find her twin brother. She had learned that from the ancient books she found in the Lining Island. About a boy that was the exact same as her. A twin brother that her parents were able to hide first from the Angel Parish.

Suddenly, Sarah's phone ringed. She took the phone into her hand and her eyes widened once she read the name of the screen. She greeted her teeth and answered angrily the phone call.

"Hey Sarah," she didn't answer, but rather only glared and tapped rapidly her foot on the ground, "Did you miss me?"

"No, not really," she answered abruptly and Alexander from the other line flinched.

"Sorry for not telling you anything and disappearing like that. Things happened and... Can I talk to you? Face to face I mean," he requested but Sarah didn't answer once more. Alexander let out a sigh and spoke his next words, "I'll be waiting for you in the forest if you ever decide to come."

With that, they ended the call and Sarah bit her lips. She was beyond irritated by his words and actions. She wanted to curse him for ghosting her like that and for making her worry even more day by day. After thinking long and hard, she finally decided to meet him. She opened a portal and teleported in the forest close to her house.

Once she arrived, she saw Alexander laying on a tree. He waived at her with a nervous smile and Sarah's eyes narrowed.

"Hey... Sorry for making you wait for so long. I had...some things to take care of," he spoke while rubbing the back of his head.

"I see... And what could that possible be?" she questioned and Alexander began to walk towards her. A sad smile plastered on his face.

"I missed you...," he worded now embracing Sarah and her eyes subconsciously softened. His grip around her body tightening desperately. As if once he would let her go, she would disappear.

"...Alexander, what's wrong?"

"...I'm sorry," he whispered and Sarah felt a metallic sharp object enter her back. Her eyes widened and her feet froze on the snowy ground. Alexander took the object out if her back and walked quickly away from her, letting the wound heal completely.

Sarah's wide opened eyes could only stare at the man before her in terror and confusion all together, "Why...?" She uttered desperately only for Alexander to frown.

"You wouldn't understand Sarah," he said lowly, now forming thunder all over around his right hand and the bloody dagger he held.

"What's the meaning of this?!" she yelled with glaring eyes with Alexander doing pretty much the same.

"It's your fault Sarah! You should just stop struggling and listen to me! You are going to die if you keep using your magic like that and you know it!" he yelled now charging straight towards Sarah.

Sarah in return dodged it swiftly and sprinted behind of Alexander and kicked his right side, the dagger falling from his hands. Alexander found rather quickly back his balance and took out another dagger from the pocket of the left side of his leather jacket and filled it with electricity.

"What I do with my power isn't your problem!" she exclaimed and Alexander took a stronger grip on the dagger in his hand.

"Sarah...you just don't understand, do you?" he muttered and charged towards her once more. Both of them fighting for quite a while. Sarah obviously holding back and Alexander giving his all to land an attack.

"Please stop Alexander!" she begged in an attempt to calm him down. Even if they were fighting to death, she couldn't help but still view him as a very important person to her.
