"If you can tell me my 'ulterior motive', I'll stop," Sandra challenged.
Save Me // One-On-One // CLOSED
"Again, need to know basis," Amelia fired back.
Sandra began to approach her. "What else is on a need to know basis?"
"Everything that has nothing to do with you."
Sandra frowned, showing irritation for the first time. "Amelia, why are you doing this?"
"I've already told you. You're smart, decipher it."
Sandra narrowed her eyes. "If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want to torture me, torture me."
"I don't want to kill or torture you," Amelia said. "I just want you to see."
"See what? Show me," Sandra said firmly.
"Everything I can do!" Amelia yelled.
Sandra gritted her teeth. "Amelia, you don't have to do this."
"Yes, I do! You don't get it!"
"I'm trying to!" she replied, visibly frustrated for the first time.
"Well you're not trying hard enough!" Amelia practically screamed.
Sandra took a heavy breath. "What do you want me to do?"
Amelia stared at Sandra, saying nothing.
"Well?" Sandra panted, her voice returning mostly normal.
Amelia let out a primal scream and disappeared in a screen of scarlet smoke.
"Oh, God…" Sandra muttered, backing away sharply.
Peter landed on the ground beside Sandra. "She'll be fine. She just needs time."
Sandra shook her head. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her get this upset."
Peter didn't say anything. He knew it to be true. "She just lost her sister."
"But I pushed her…" Sandra replied, shaking her head.
Peter was silent. He couldn't argue, as he knew everything she was saying was true.
"How long do you think it will take?" she almost whispered. "For her to calm down?"
"It's hard to say. Whenever we fight, she needs only about an hour to calm down. But now…. She's angry. Livid, even. And, she just lost her sister. I don't know how long she'll need."
Sandra nodded. "Should we wait here?" He knew her better.
"Yes, that would be best. If we go find her, she could be worst than just before."
"Alright," Sandra replied, watching the smoke that consumed Amelia.
(sorry they actually can't see her…)
