Fragmented

Small pieces

Master Guist points the scepter towards Evelline, and she looks at him, the scepter seemed to be totally charged with a kind of gray energy.

- It's your end, Armstrong! - he said, laughing.

- What should we do with him? - asked Evelline.

- IF HE REMAINS ALIVE, HE WILL NEVER STOP FOLLOWING US. - said the Fragmented inside her head.

- I fully agree. - said Evelline.

Then she levitated the scepter and pulled it into her hands, and Master Guist was surprised.

Evelline walked towards him, and he tried to throw stones at her, until she got tired, pulled him with telekinesis, keeping him in the air.

- And now, will you take my other hand? - asked Master Guist, laughing sarcastically.

And Evelline concentrated her strength on Master Guist's neck, making him lose his breath, she leaned the backs of her hands together and curved her fingers, and in one pull, she cut him in two.

His remains fell limp to the ground.

- Great, so two heads don't grow in place. - she exclaimed.

But her energy didn't last long and the place collapsed again.

- SARAH!

Evelline levitated Sarah's body, to get her out of there, but before leaving, she saw the scepter and remembered the boy who was at the head of the statue, so she concentrated even more power, and held Sarah on her shoulder, and attracted for herself, the scepter and the boy, levitating both, she creates a force field over herself, the other two and the scepter, and then she flies out of there.

The exit was very difficult, the pieces of concrete fell and obstructed the exit more and more.

She managed to reach the surface, after much effort, she hovered in the air, and stopped to observe, the amusement park remained intact, only the circus and some structures around it sank to the ground, apparently they were in a type of bunker.

Evelline sees a valley nearby, with a stream and some fruit nearby, so she stops there, leans against Sarah and the unknown boy in a tree, he looked like he was about 9 years old, Evelline sees that he has several scratches on his body, and he wore white hospital patient clothing, all torn.

So she tries to take care of Sarah's wound first, she makes a dressing with some herbs that were nearby, and closes the remaining severed of what is left of the arm, wrapping a piece of her shirt with the medicine there, at least Sarah was starting to gain a little more color after that, and Evelline left some cherries next to Sarah's other hand, to make it easier for her to reach when she woke up.

- Okay. Now, it's your turn ... - said Evelline looking at the boy.

She tried to put some of the same bandage she used on Sarah's arm, in one of the boy's cuts. But immediately he woke up, startled and taking a deep breath.

- Hey, calm down! I will not hurt you!

But the boy was very nervous, and tried to attack Evelline, firing gray energy from his hand towards her, which defends with a force field, but it was very strong, so she isolated the energy with another force field and launched away, exploding into the air.

- B-but, what are you? - she asked, when she turned to the boy, and was surprised.

He was completely healed from all the cuts, and he was no longer passed out, he seemed to be sleeping now.

Soon she realized that it was something completely out of the ordinary, so she decided that she would not be long, tied the boy with strings made of her own energy, so that if he wakes up, he won't go out with a burst of energy.

She just waited for Sarah to wake up and would return to the city.A while later, it was getting dark, when Vahan woke up, she was trying to assimilate what was happening, when she saw Evelline sitting on the riverbank.

She tried to reach a sharp branch that was near her only hand, but near that branch, there were also peeled fruits and some cherries. Vahan looked at that, and was surprised, and Evelline approached her and sat down close, her eyes were no longer blue.

- Is that remorse? - asked Vahan.

- I'm just looking out for you, Sarah.

- I already said that Sarah is...

- You can repeat this as many times as you want, you will continue to be Sarah in the background.

Vahan fell silent for a moment, and saw that Evelline's eyes were normal, the usual brown ones.

- So you think you won, right? - Vahan tried to confront her.

- No, I beat the Saviors, but it cost me a friend...

Vahan looked at her curiously.

- I never wanted to do this to you Sarah, I tried to warn you, I tried to stop you, but that was the only way to keep you quiet and listen to me.

- I wanted to kill you, and yet you...

- I would really like to understand your reasons for doing this Sarah, if it wasn't for Ryan, what was it for?

Vahan looks around, trying to escape the subject and says:

- Envy, greed, power... Will. Those are my motivations.

- And that is why you wanted to kill me?

- I wanted to be better than you! I have always lived in your shadow, I have always been your doormat!

- That's not true Sarah...

- HOW COULD YOU KNOW? YOU ALWAYS HAD EVERYTHING! YOU ALWAYS WERE FROM A RICH FAMILY, WHILE WATCHED ME HUNGER! - Sarah shouted, but stopped just when she felt a twinge in her arm.

- I paid your tuition all this time Sarah. - said Evelline.

Sarah was silent.

- I know that you alone are not able to do this, you lost your parents in that accident, and since then you have been alone, even in a difficult situation, you strive and fight for your goal. - Evelline gets emotional and starts to cry.

- I care a lot about you, I didn't want to see you destroy yourself inside, with people who aren't worth it, you deserve more than that, my friend.

And Sarah looked at her, with a tear running down her left eye.

- I lost Ryan, I lost the Saviors and now I also lost the school year, what else can I lose?

- I want nothing less than the best for you, my friend, join me, and together we will be great, of course!

And she reached out to Sarah, she hesitated and resisted a lot, but ended up grabbing Evelline's hand.

- We will never be better than the other my friend, I promise! Together we will be stronger!

And Sarah agreed, through tears.

And Evelline hugged her, who returned the hug.
