"I'll never leave you Flana,I promise..."
Flana sighed softly as she stared out of the crystal clear window,the lights from outside reflected in a show of colour.Her mind was wondering with images and thoughts of the last few cycles that she had experienced.The cheering of the crowds,the adrenaline running through her veins,the screams of her best friend as her blood sprayed across the transparent floor.... A lone tear ran down her cheek,the emotions becoming too overwhelming.She cursed herself and took a few shaky breaths to prevent more tears from spilling from her eyes.The air seemed to grow cold and extinguish the lights from outside,sending the room into darkness.Sam had gone down the hallway,into his room and there was still no sign of him.Flana shivered slightly and wrapped her arms around her torso,trying to keep the warmth from escaping her body.The room suddenly sounded with the echo of footsteps and Sam quickly strode in,glancing over at her with a concerned look.She shivered again until she felt his warm hand on her shoulder.
Are you alright Flana?
His eyes stared intently into hers with worry as she lifted her head to look at him.Quick and quiet breaths sounded from her chest as she felt her heartbeat begin to increase.Sam continued to stare at her softly,his features apparent with a look of concern.
Oh,I'm fine.....
She felt a sinking feeling deep down in the pit of her stomach,guilt from knowing that she was lying to him.Her head was starting to burn from a splitting migrane and another shiver crept down her spine.Sam noticed and slowly leaned forward,wrapping his arm around her shoulder.Flana started to breath even quicker,feeling the warmth from his muscled body.He gently stroked her back with one of his fingertips which sent another shiver through her body,this time,a pleasurable one.The air seemed to grow warm again and light flooded back into the room,illuminating the floor and ceiling.Even though she was safe now,Flana couldn't erase the piercing images that were infecting her mind.Sophie was dead,and she had witnessed it all....The blood curdling scream which shattered the air,the fearful look in her eyes as her outstretched hit the floor,the evil laugh of the green circuited ISO as he heard her cry out... Her body started to shake again and tears gently slid down her face,prompting Sam to look even more worried.
Hey,what's wrong?
His soothing voice reached her eardrums,and she started to cry softly into his shoulder,the feeling of red hot anger rising up in her chest.
She was my only friend,it's my fault Sam....IT'S MY FAULT SHE'S DEAD!
She punched his chest and broke down into sobs,growling slightly from the emotions quickly building up inside of her.The tears refused to let up from falling,drenching her cheeks in a layer of moisture.Sam wrapped his other arm around her and held her in a comforting embrace,gently stroking her back. Flana continued to cry,angry at what was happening and that she couldn't do anything to change it.He slowly brought one of his hands under her chin and tilted her head gently upwards,staring into her eyes again.She tried to blink away the tears,but her vision was clouded by the wetness.
Please don't blame yourself Flana,it's not your fault...
Her eyes slowly closed,leaking even more tears whilst shaky breaths were released from body.Her head was now starting to burn even more,to the point where she thought it was going to split open.The next thing she knew,she felt a slight pressure on her lips and slowly opened her eyes to see Sam kissing her.His mouth fit hers perfectly and the adrenaline sparked ignition throughout their bodies.Warmth enveloped the air and the illuminations from outside seemed to grow even brighter.Flana slowly closed her eyes and kissed him back,raising her arms to wrap around his neck.Sam smiled widely into the kiss and gently lowered her onto the sofa,starting to kiss her even deeper.She moaned quietly into his mouth,loving the feeling of his body on top of hers.By now,her heart felt like it was going to explode as he slowly slid his tongue into her mouth,french kissing her deeply.He slowly pulled away and leant close to her ear,his breath teasingly enveloping her eardrum.
I'll always be here for you Flana,I love you...
Flana's eyes seemed to light up as he said those words,starting to slowly stroke the back of his neck.Her breathing still heightened as she gazed into his eyes.
I love you too Sam...
Sam smiled widely as his embrace on her body tightened and he leaned forward to slowly trail his lips down her neck.She gasped softly and leaned her head back,allowing him more access to her skin.He chuckled to himself and bit down gently near the base of her neck,causing another moan to escape her lips.Her fingers found themselves tangled in his sandy blonde hair,taking note of how soft and silky it felt between her fingertips.Sam slowly slid his hand over her body to rest on the zipper of her suit and Flana's face quickly turned a light shade of pink.He chuckled and leaned forward to kiss her deeply again,his tongue penetrating the seams of her mouth as the zipper slowly slid down.
The lights from outside flickered in sequence as cries of pleasure sounded from inside,piercing the air with soft tremours.Flana knew by what had already happened,that her tale wasn't ending.
It was just beginning.
