Dark.

Dark was all Cleveland could see.

She opened and closed her eyes many times and every time only small things changed.

First more brightness, then the sound of water.

With everything becoming more clearer Cleveland could see around more.

She saw water, an ocean, and fire, fire that burned to the heavens.

The islands were nothing but black spots of charred earth in the distance.

Looking around confused Cleveland more than she got a clearer picture, yet one question was clearly on her mind.

What happened here?

A sound, a clash, and a spark in the dark brought Cleveland out of her thoughts.

Focussing her view she saw nothing, yet she knew in the dark something was waiting.

She couldn't move or talk but she waited and it resulted in something.

A figure flew past her and looking at her Cleveland recognized her.

Enterprise, the strongest carrier of Eagle Union skitted to a stop 20 meters from her.

Enterprise looked at her and her gaze held only anger and hatred.

She drew her bow and fired upon Cleveland who only held her hands up in total shock.

She waited but didn't feel the arrow hit.

Opening her eyes revealed why.

A scythe she helt had blocked the arrow.

In its reflection, her eyes reflected a bright yellow. Her own face had a smile that sent chills down her spine.

"AAAAAAHHHH!"Cleveland jolted awake and had to catch her breath.

What was that? It must have been a nightmare.

"Ohh welcome back in the land of the living."A voice from the side said.

Cleveland whipped her head to the source still completely out of breath.

Who said that was Reconstructor who currently helt Observer like a baby in her arms. She was feeding Observer something with a spoon and Observer certainly didn't look happy.

"Come on eat this or you will be in terrible pain."Reco addressed Observer who just shook her head.

"I don't want to, I can bear the pain, it tastes horribl-uughrr."Observer complained but a spoonful of the dark globby stuff was shoved down her throat. Reco then laid Observer next to Cleveland who now realized that she laid on an actual bed and not a hospital one.

While Observer was coughing like she had an asthma attack Cleveland looked her over."You look worse than last time."

Indeed she looked pale and considering that she was a siren the fact that it stood out was something.

"Of course she looks bad, without this medicine I put together she would have already given up the spoon."Reco said and sat down on the bed."And you? You slept out now."

"I feel good now."She sighed.

"She didn't look that bad a few hours ago, "Cleveland said and gestured to Observer who now rested face down.

Cleveland sat up, realizing she had complete feelings in all of her body parts again, and pulled her knees to her stomach.

Cleveland felt weird, not in a bad way weird but in a strong way weird. She felt like she could singlehandedly beat Purifier in a fistfight. This somehow filled her with pride as it made her worry. This isn't right, what did Observer say she did?
