   As we get ready I make a decision.

   "Saraqael come with us," I said.

   She got up and we all walked to a safe house. I had decided that she was the savior and wouldn't turn her back and destroy us. Although I knew I could be wrong.

   That must tear her apart, I thought, knowing that she was either gonna destroy or save us. 

   She didn't look like she was that concerned with everything. In fact I thought she didn't look like she even knew what was going on as we ran to the safe house. We did none of the normal things Jack and Wilhelm would have done in the case of moving places. I guess it was just part of having her with us. I sat in the room they put me and Saraqael in and she remained silent and looking at the floor with a faraway look in her eyes. I thought something was troubling her so I decided to talk to her.

   "Hey Saraqael," I said, even though it probably wasn't my best move. " Are you okay?"

  She almost jumped out of her skin when I asked that. But she responded with her voice breaking, "Yes I'm perfectly fine. Thank you for asking. How about you?"

   I knew what she was trying to do. She was trying to change the subject, but I went along with it. 

   "I'm okay," I responded standing and moving next to her. "You know it's fine not to be okay right? You can always talk to me no matter what and I'll do everything I can to help you. I promise"

   She froze. I could see that she wasn't used to people being nice to her. I couldn't really tell if she was okay or not but I had decided she was the savior and I would really do anything I could to help her. I wouldn't tell my "brothers" anything if that helped anyway. Then I saw her move. It wasn't graceful or anything you would expect from someone like her but instead she moved like a broken doll and collapsed next to me. I quickly sat next to her and pulled her into a hug. I didn't know what else to do I mean I was only y/a and I didn't normally comfort people. But I felt her body shaking and the tears falling onto my shirt.

   I don't know how long I sat holding her close to me but the next thing I knew Wilhelm was standing in the doorway and he looked at me like he was gonna scream. I really hopped he didn't because I had just gotten her to fall asleep. He walked out and Jack walked in and said, "Do you need help getting her in a bed?"

   I nodded and Jack helped me lift Saraqael up. Jack lead me as I carried her to a room that I knew was meant to hold multiple people. She shifted as I laid her on one of the beds and she reached out for my shirt.

   I said calmly, "Saraqael it's gonna be okay. Nobody will hurt you I promise."

   She relaxed when I said that and I saw the tears on her face. She looked so sad and when I looked at her arms I almost gasped. It took me a minute to realize what must have been going through her head when she started crying and I laid in a bed not far from her and fell asleep.

   When I woke up it was to the sound of singing. I looked around and saw that Saraqael was sitting up where I had put her last night. She was singing softly in a language I didn't understand. I smiled listening when I realized that I had started singing with her. Both our voices filled the room in the strange lilting language and melody that the music created. I liked it and when we stopped I kinda felt sad. Saraqael looked over at me and smiled. I noticed that she had wiped the tears off her face. I stood up and smiled back at her.

   "Feeling better Saraqael?" I asked her.

   She nodded, "I really do. Thank you for that because I don't know how long it's been since I was able to cry around anyone."

   "Of course," I said. "You can always count on me even when you don't have anyone else."

   Her smile slipped but I don't think I was supposed to notice. Jack was calling our names from somewhere else in the safe house. I motioned for her to follow me and walked to where Jack and Wilhelm were standing. It was strange to see Wilhelm looking so distracted. I just shrugged it off. Then we were all thrown to the ground and the last thing I saw before I passed out cold was Saraqael hit the ground.
