"Is she awake yet?"
"No"
Latil has been laying asleep in the back of this bus since we all chose our sponsors.
"Sarah, everyone has been talking about what to do..and we've decided to leave"
My arms swung further from my sides in disbelief.
"You mean with Latil, right.."
The bus filled with the stale stares of the children, each with pity towards their decision.
"..You all can't be serious!"
"We don't have a choice, Sarah. Just look!"
Elijah pointed to the blue message in front of us, it's the first time I've seen his eyes so brimmed with daze.

"It's been an hour since that message popped up! We've already fended off too many monsters, our levels are too low to keep using our weapons, we don't have even enough coins to access the servers store"
'To ask them to keep this up for a few more ours, would it be selfish? Even I'm feeling haggard, but to leave my best friend..would be even worse'
"You all behaved so docile when she was awake...Liam, Timothy, Elijah, don't try to make excuses for being cowards!"
The air left silent, all that was left was a bus with only two girls, one with an aggravated streams of tears, another with only an arrow which pierces a mile long path.

'The blue messages came back. Party mission?'
Latil's body which laid still began to tremble and thrash around, her skin withering into a sickly pale shade. Latil's head laided towards Sarah, a look of daze in her now darkened eyes.
"Latil, Latil!"
"You're awake!"
Latil's Cold fingers grasped to Sarah's arms.
"Where are the others?!"
Both faces had expressions of concern, yet only Latil could meet Sarah's eyes.
"They left...but it's ok! We can survive on our own-"
"We have to bring them back. It's too dangerous"
Why did her voice tremble so harshly,
"Stop it, you can't walk right now! We won't be able to catch up to them..."
Now I'm forced to chase only more pain.
Latil began to stand. Sarah followed her shadow.
