The Torment • Alternate Reality Book One

Chapter 28- The Coma

Author's Note: I hope you like my story! Feel free to voice your opinion, ask any questions and point out any mistakes I make.

Angel's POV

"Okay, do you understand the plan?" I ask Inferno again, needing to make sure everything is set as I pace. My emotions are everywhere, totally scattered and flickering in and out of place. Inferno brings me tightly into his arms, which calls me down immensely. He sighs in contentment before replying

"Yes, I know the plan. It isn't exactly complicated, it should be easy to pull off if people act how we want them to act."

"I know that!" I exclaim, moving back so I can hit him in the chest. "You know how I am with my worrying though, so shut up." Inferno chuckles and brings me into his arms again, kissing my forehead.

"Yes, I do know, but you need to stay calm. Now, let's go and get a friend out of a coma and back in her body." Inferno says, moving to grasp my hand and start pulling me down the hallway.

Amaro's POV

As usual, I sit in the hallway in front of her bedroom door, just staring at it, wishing I could grasp the cold and smooth doorknob and push the wooden door open to reveal our own personal dark place. But no. An invisible wall keeps me from entering, and there's nothing I can do. I can feel my body wear away and become weaker.

It tingles.

I don't like it.

It's an uncomfortable sensation, one that I don't want to feel and I wish never to feel again in the future. At first, Ivy tried to convince me to let her go and be with her. I could never do that, it'd be impossible to let her go.

Yet again, my mind shoots to another place, with bittersweet memories and thoughts about Sabrina, my love, the one I am bonded to with my very soul. Memories of our time together flash by in my head, sending a small smile to my face.

My thoughts are interrupted by a Dark Warrior, who taps me on the shoulder, catching my attention. I would have sneered at him and ordered that he leaves me alone, but he catches my attention. I recognize him, it's not easy to forget someone with fiery hair and eyes.

Inferno's POV

"I can't believe I have to be the one to talk sense into him." I mutter to myself under my breath, searching the castle grounds for Amaro. Finally I find his trail of Darkness, and follow it to outside of Sabrina's, well now it's Nia's, room. How I wish I could have Angel's powers instead right now.

He looks horrible, deathly pale and barely more than skin and bones, with bags under his eyes. Amaro is in the same condition as Saber. For a single moment, I actually feel bad for him. Then I remember what he has done, and I don't feel that sad anymore. He has done such horrid things, his condition must just be a bit of karma. It won't kill him, and it'll improve when she's out of her room and moving around again. All of them are miserable, it sucks.

"Hey, Amaro." I say to him, sliding down the wall to sit next to him after getting his attention by tapping his shoulder.

"What do you want?" He weakly snarls at me

"I want to tell you what's going on with Sabrina." I state, and his black eyes immediately lighten to a very dark grey and have a shine in them.

"Sabrina?" But then, the light vanishes "Has somethings happened? Is she okay?" He questions, looking so concerned that my sympathy comes back. "Also, how do you know? You haven't been in there!"

"No, I haven't, but I have talked to the two people that have." I explain "I've talked to Hannah, her maid, and Angel, her Guardian."

"Then tell me!" Amaro shouts in a deep, commanding tone that clashes with his appearance so hugely I nearly laugh.

"She's rapidly deteriorating, losing both you and Saber just broke her. You might not want to admit it, but she needs Saber almost as much as she needs you. Her body is so weak, she couldn't move by her own. Hannah had to help her. Now, she has reached the final level. She has slipped into a coma, and won't come out of the dream realm unless she can see Saber." I elaborate, my mood plummeting with each word I hear myself say. I can tell from Amaro's body language and facial expression that he is the same.

"How do you know that she won't come out?" He whispers. I answer, deep in my somber mood

"Angel entered the dream realm, where she was able to put Sabrina, because she hasn't gone too deep into her coma yet, and talked to her. Sabrina can still be saved, but she needs to be able to see Saber. If you allow her that, you're one step closer to seeing her again."

"Tell her I'll do it. I'll let her see Saber." Amaro replies, sounding so defeated.

"I will." I say softly, standing up and running back to my room, where Angel will hopefully be waiting for my return.

Angel's POV

I slip into the dream realm when Inferno leaves his room, and I go to Saber and Nia's dream. As soon as I enter, I hear laughter. It fills me with joy to have them both happy for once.

"Saber, Nia! Good news!" I call out to them "Amaro dropped the wall, Saber isn't blocked from entering your room anymore!" Huge smiles light up both of their faces, and they immediately turn to each other, embracing tightly and kissing fiercely. I turn away from them, wanting to give them some semblance of privacy.

"This isn't a trick to get me to go back, right?" I hear Nia ask me, and I turn back to look at her.

"It's not a trick, he actually lowered the wall." I hope.

Author's Note:

Hi kittens! I know this is late, and I'm sorry. I had a busy weekend when I was supposed to post this, since it was when I celebrated my birthday (it was on a Monday, ew) and I'm 15! Also, I just wasn't in the mood for writing. I hate writing when I'm not in the mood, I just feel like it's going to be crap. So, I'm sorry! I won't be writing as much.

Question:
Do you think Amaro actually lowered the barrier keeping Saber out of Sabrina/Nia's room, or did he just say he did?

P.S. sorry for making the whole name thing confusing again.
