THE ONLY SOUND I can hear is screams.

I look back for a few times to make sure Michelle is still following me. It's hard to hear her footsteps behind me when the whole building is battlefield. And hey, even if the whole building is cemetery, I still can't hear her footsteps because she's a master in sneaking. Well, just like what she did the morning of the explosion...

I shake my head firmly. I have to forgive her fully. I have to concentrate on getting us out of this hell.

We keep running—at least I am. I turn to left and find another identical corridor. If I don't have Algorithm with me, I definitely will be burnt to death here. Which means I will die twice.

BAM!

I quickly stop my pace as soon as I hear the sound. Michelle bumps into me the next second.

"What the—"

Something big on fire fall down a few meters from us and she shrieks. If we're on normal circumstances, I would probably smack her on the face. I grab her hand and drag her pass the area.

"How'd you know?" she asks.

"Dunno."

We walk a few more meters until we see light coming through the opening space. I speed up my pace with a delight in my heart, ready to burst out of it. I can barely feel my feet on the ground. It feels like I'm flying or weightless or gravity less.

As we come closer, a man in red suit comes to the open. He is not the man in red suit that I was hoping for, but he is the man in red suit who saved my life.

I stop running.

"Why are we stopping?" Michelle asks with impatient in her tone.

I've never run.

Michelle pulls her hand out of my grip and run towards the man in red suit. She looks so happy with her hair flies as she runs.

5 seconds.

What is that voice whispering in my ear? No. Not ear. Mind.

Crk!

I look up and find an on fire wood ready to fall above where she is. She is still meters away from Spider-man. There's no way on hell he can save her. There's no way on heaven I can save her. My heart stops. I can't breathe. I will lose her for sure this time. And I still haven't been a great sister.

With all that's left on me, I force the voice our of my dry throat. "MICHELLE, NO!"

Everything's black. I'm back in the void. But there's something different this time. I can hear buzzing sound coming from my... brain. There are patterns of things that I've studied and I haven't passing around, flying on the void. Suddenly I feel like I've got the answer of something that I have no idea about and everything goes absolute silence.
