She moved her wrists around, concentrating. Her head hung, but her mind was focused. Her companion was staring at the crystallized figure.
“I can't believe that happened.”
She said nothing.
“Devin...she's gone, Bec.”
She shut her eyes.
“How could we not help her?”
“We did, Erin.”
“How? We LET her get turned to crystal!!! Fang's going to kill us if we get out of here!”
“Not necessarily. While her body is stuck, her astrial form is free.”
“So?”
Becca laughed a little.
“Let's just say the calvary is coming.”
It was silent before Erin let out a laugh.
“Oh jeez! Them? Seriously? Bec, we're so screwed.”
The two laughed.
“They are definitely...eccentric. But we need them.”
“As long as we live, I'll love them.”
Becca felt metal with her hands and her eyes glowed white.
“Shut your eyes.”
Erin did as told and Becca released the energy. The chains fell off, hot to the touch.
“Damn Bec. You're awesome!”
“Thank you.”
The two girls sat down by their crystallized friend.
“You sure they're coming?”
“Erin, if they weren't, Devin would have freed herself.”
“So true.”
Erin looked over at her friend.
“Bec...what's wrong?”
“Erin, this will be the last time he remembers.”
“Oh Becca.”
“But...I will live through it. If I can see how he is, I'll be okay.”
“Wait. Becca...that means-”
“It will be the last for you too.”
“Oh my-. I think I'm going to be sick.”
“I'm sorry.”
“Why must it end this way?”
“Because it is fate's desire.”
“Will anyone remember?”
“Very few will. Most...won't.”
“What about-”
“He will remember. And for that I am glad.”
“Yeah.”
