Chapter 5: Failure

Sarah awoke the next morning feeling better than the other day. Once she had come to her senses, she noticed something just didn't feel right. There was an arm wrapped loosely around her waist. Her eyes widened in fear as she looked over her shoulder. *I have to get out of here now!*

Carefully, Sarah tried to move away from Dilandau. She moved slowly to avoid waking him up. Everything was going well until his grip tightened. Sarah laid there perfectly still. *Oh god please don't be awake, please!* His grip loosened and Sarah moved slower but his grip then tightened again.

"And just where do you think you're going?" It was like a nightmare coming true. Dilandau sat up right so he was towering over her. She smiled sheepishly trying to think of an excuse.

"I just wanted to go for a walk to stretch my legs." Dilandau cocked an eyebrow.

"Bull shit. I know what you were planning. You're trying to escape." Sarah looked away from him but it was hard to. She found her eyes drawn to his naked chest. "Well you can't escape me, no one can." he smiled slyly and proudly. A feeling of hopelessness was washing over Sarah but she remembered her vow, she wouldn't let him win.

Sarah up to come face to face with Dilandau. *damn, why dies he have to look so goddamn hot?* Anger was flaring in her soul. She wouldn't forgive him and would make him pay for stealing her innocents. "What the fuck do you want with me?"

Dilandau grinned cunningly at her. "What do I want? You." Sarah was confused.

"Me? Why do you want me?" the same smile crept back to his face.

"You're so different, so foreign, so unusual. You're not like other women. You insist on taunting men by wearing that tiny skirt." her eyes widened in shock. *he thinks my skirt is tiny? It goes to my knees. Tiny is just covering my ass.*

"I'm sure there's plenty of other strange and unusual women out there." her voice grew shaky as Dilandau moved closer to her. He leaned his head towards her's and pressed his lips gently against her own. Sarah moved her head back and got out of the bed. "No!" she yelled at him.

Dilandau frowned and got out of the bed. "No? No what? You don't want to have fun? Be pleasured?" his voice became captivating and seductive. Sarah backed away from him until she bumped into the desk as he moved towards her. "You want it Sarah. You want me. Just admit it." she shook her head no while she shut her eyes.

Sarah just wanted this to be over. She just wished it was all a dream. But he was right. She did want him. Every time he smiled at her only made her want to kiss his lips. The redness of his eyes ignited a flaming passion inside her. When she opened her eyes, she saw him standing before her.

A tear escaped her eye as she looked at him. He moved closer and wiped away that tear with his thumb. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately. Sarah wanted to run but she felt so warm and comfortable in his arms. Everything just felt right.

Sarah's body suddenly stiffened. Everything around her faded away to darkness. Panic rose in her as she tried to figure out what was happening. She shut her eyes and felt a hot wind hit her. the smell of fire filled her nose. Her sapphire blue eyes opened to see a city in flames. It was Fanelia. Then she found herself walking around outside Allen's fort. She stopped and watched it burst into flames. A look of horror crossed her face.

"Sarah . . ." a soft and angelic voice sounded from behind her. she turned around quickly to see a woman wearing a long blue gown. She had long black hair and warm brown eyes which struck her in a strange way. They were just like Van's eyes.

"Who, who are you?" the woman smiled softly but the smile faded away.

"I am Vari Fanel, former queen of Fanelia."

"What do you want with me?"

"You have failed your mission Sarah." she looked at Vari confused.

"Mission? I wasn't aware that I was on a mission to begin with. And how did I fail?" Sarah was feeling annoyed with this woman.

"You fell into the arms of the enemy. Your power can no longer save Gaea."

"What? I was supposed to save Gaea? From what?"

"From it following the same fate as Atlantis. And now because you had failed we must bring a new seeress to Gaea to succeed where you have failed. We have already erased any memories of you in the others. To them, you never even came to Gaea." if there was one thing Sarah hated, it was to be considered a failure.

"Okay I'm sorry I failed you but perhaps if I had of known maybe I wouldn't have failed!" Sarah immediately felt regretful for yelling but she hated to be called a failure. "So since I failed, does this mean I can go back home? Go back to earth?" Vari looked at her sadly.

"I'm sorry Sarah but we don't have that power."

"What!? You have the power to bring here but not back?"

"I understand that you are angry but we are certain that once this war is over you will be able to return to your home." Vari then began to disappear into a white light. Everything around Sarah went dark again.
