Zero was left behind. He got up angles into the sky. He continued following Ulora's trail. Then he saw a girl his age laying on the floor. He got down and transformed. He got a good look of her face. Red hair, pale skin, long lashes, and one eye was blue, like the water. She looked around and stared at Zero.

It's you, from my dreams she said.
Wait, you're a- Zero said interrupted
Just like you
Hold up, you saw ME in a dream?
Yes, you were with this girl named Ulora.
Yes! She's very important to me.
You two seemed to be in love. You're her boyfriend-
No I'm not! Zero yelled in head. She went silent. Zero felt a bit hazy.
  "Zero? You OK?" His sight slowly faded. He couldn't feel his muscles. Slowly he fainted in numbness. He was in pitch darkness. Soon, he saw the face of the girl he just met.

  "Zero! Lets go! You slow poke."
  "Coming Avaron!" A replica of himself past by. They both walked on the boardwalk. They talked and fooled around. A little kids few yards away was a little boy being bullied by some high schoolers.

  "Oh Zero, look at the poor boy. Go help him! They aren't going to listen to a girl." Avaron said.
  "Okay then." He jumped off the boardwalk and walked slowly towards the boy.
  "Leave him alone guys." Zero said.
  "Why should we?"
  "Well maybe beca-" a girl with black hair, gray flowing shirt and in black shorts jumped in takaling one of e guys, one by one, she knocked them down.
  "It's demon/Angel girl!" One of the guys said. Demon/angel girl? Like me? She stood there quietly close to her.
  "Bulky another child and your face will have scars on them." The boys ran away. Her hair covered half of her face. Avaron came down to Zero.
  "Gurl you got skill." She said nothing.

  "You know, I could've done it myself without violence." Zero said. She faced him. Her red eye stared into his.
  "They will never listen to you. They don't work like that. Nobody does except for you. Now, run off or your face will be scared too." She said sternly.
  "Gee, I was only trying to help."
  "I don't need help, I work alone."
  "You know, you never accomplish anything alone."
  "Well, that saying doesn't count for me!" She scold. She bent down to the boy. Her eyes got soft.
  "Lets go find your family." The boy nodded. She held his hand and they walked down the shore.
  "What's her problem." Avaron sassed.
  "She's lonely. She has nobody."
  "Well, she shouldn't waste her anger on us!"
  "She just doesn't know what love feels like!"
  "So you like her and you're supporting her? I see how it is!"
  "It's not that, it's just I know how it feels like!" He yelled. Avaron silenced.
  "I'm sorry Avaron-sama, I wasn't thinking."
  "It's okay." They both walked away. The girl was behind a corner and heard everything. A tear rolled down her face. She cleared her hair from her face.

  She, she looks a lot like... Ulora he thought to himself. Everything went dark again. I remember that memory. He felt the ground. He felt a cold hand on his cheek. He opened his eyes. Ulora was on top of him.
  "Zero!" She said, a tear fell down her cheek. He sat up, with his had on his forehead. He let out a groan.
  "That girl, I saw her before, but she hung you on her wall and she was going to strip you. She only got your shirt off when I got there. Then I knocked her out. I placed your shirt back on you and carried you her." She said, placing a wet piece of cloth on his forehead.
  "Ulora…"
  "Yah,"
  "Have we met before? At a beach, 5 years ago?"
  "I don't think so…"
  "You came and knocked 5 older guys out to protect a boy. I questioned you and then at the end, you said 'well, that saying doesn't work for me!' " Ulora silenced.
  "I remember."
  "You over heard me and Avron. Then when you left, you shredded a tear. Why? I know, but I want to her your side of the story." She got up and walked away slowly.
  "Ulora?"
  "No. Don't Ulora me. I have my reasons, leave me alone."
  "Why?"
  "Leave. Me. Alone."
  "No. I want to know why."
  "Zero stop."
  "No."
  "Aaron!" She yelled."please stop…" she teared.
  "Please tell me why."
  "I won't tell you beuse I don't trust you anymore!" He silenced. It began to rain. Raindrops fell, they fell slowly. Ulora shedded a tear.
  "When red moon arrives in two days, I won't see you again."
  "Ulora, you don't need to sacrifice yourself."
  "Yes, I have to."
  "We can sacrifice Avaron. We can be together."
  "Are you hearing yourself! Stop being so selfish I only just truly met you and you known her for a long time! You're going to sacrifice a friend for a stranger."
  "You're not a stranger."
  "Zero! Why are you like that! I can't believe you right now! What has got into you!"
  "The question is, what has got into you. I never knew you were that important to save the world by yourself. You don't care about anything! You don't care about anybody! U left everyone at base to worry and look at you here. Its not me being selfish, its you!" He yelled. She stood frozen in fear. A tear rolled down her face. He was right. She was being selfish. She landed on her knees. She wept in silence. Zero bent down and wiped her tears.

She looked up at his shiny brown eyes that were filled with curiosity. Zero leaned in and kissed her a soft kiss. It was that kiss which told you everything is okay. She smiled and hugged Zero.
  "Now, if u want to sacrifice yourself, then you will have to swear to me you won't die." Zero said.
Swear not to die. Anyone whom is to be sacrificed never makes it alive in the process. I am going to die.
  "I promise."
  "Good. We shall be off."
  "We?"
  "Well, I come or you won't see over the wall at base ever again."
  "Fine." So enough, they were off.
