They Stayed in the car , waiting , for whatever.
Heels looks over to the nervous leader
"You're going to explain to me what is happening and how do you know my real name?"
he looks at her , and rests on the car pillow , looking a couple of times outside before looking at her .
"I don't know where we are , as for your name , i know it because i woke up knowing it , thus i think you know my real name too"
"It's Raphael, You're English , and you were a history teacher" she surprises herself
"Correct"
"But how did this happen to us? I remember bizarre things"
"Me too , last time i saw you , you were getting eaten by a shark , before i was as well"
"Are we in Hell?"
"No , i don't think , but we are not in paradise either"
"I thought you knew this place"
"Only in legends , i know this is the place where horrible things live"
"I still don't know where we are"
"In the real world you asked help from the core , which was a horrible idea and talked to DiamondHeart which made it worst "
"We are dreaming then? Is it Her doing?"
"I don't think so, we are clearly in the Thin Desert , the core got ahold of us , we didn't make it to shore in time , that must be it"
"And my friends?"
"I don't know , they should be somewhere inside here"
"i don't remember everything that happened , before i got here i mean"
"Me neither"
Sails looks left and sees a car parked , one that wasn't there before
"Put your seatbelt on"
"This car was not here"
"I know"
they hear bells afar , the bells rang for a good 2 minutes.
Heels looks to her side she sees 5 new cars there
"Great , the cars are monsters"
"It's a core element messing with us"
"How would you know?"
when he looks behind him he sees 10 cars , parked , they are getting closer .
"We need to go" Heels says
"We don't know what's out there"
"We clearly know what's here , we need to go no-" as she says that a car hits theirs from the side , another does from behind , and one from the side of Sails. They get shaken , they look away from the front , and thus when they look back up , they see a car on the front coming full speed at them , it had no driver. they couldn't get out anymore the doors were closed by the other cars .
"Jump on the backseat" Sails tell her
Heels goes on fast , but as she does a hand from the car couch grabs her , many others do as well , they bring her inside the couch , she was yelling and screaming , trying to get away , Sails tries to shoot one of the hands , but as he turns back , the front of the car gets decimated by the impact of the beast that was charging them .
Sails loose consciousness , he is bleeding from the mouth , he is stuck , iron got through his thigh , the car became smaller from all the force. Heels still tries to gain her freedom from the hands , even while clearly having a bad vision , and senses after the accident , she tries to grab the gun , she does and she shoots inside of the couch , she hears a screech of pain ,she shoots again , she hears a yell and the hands stops doing anything , she puts them aside ,takes a breath ,, then she starts slapping gently Sails.
"You need to wake up" she says taking off her tears , she punches him harder as she repeats the same phrase
"Don't leave me alone here , please" . Sails looks around him , his right leg is basically stuck , but he's alive . he coughs blood and then looks at Heels.
"Yea , we need to get out"
Heels feels a tint of happiness , knowing that he is alive.
"My leg , it's not broken , i can feel it and move some of it , i just need to get it out" the airbag finally opens as he says that.
Heels looks around , she sees the airbag getting bigger and bigger , she knows something is wrong.
"We need to get out now"
Heels looks behind her , the glass behind is fully destroyed , they can get out from there .
The balloons were getting bigger by the second.
She could get out , but she won't leave him .
she tells him to bring lower his seat , until it becomes like a bed. the Iron will get detached , but it will hurt . She gives him her hand so he can contain his pain a little , he puts his hand on the lever , as he suffocates from the balloons, he lets out a shout , in an instant , heels starts to drag him, he helps a little , when she hardly gets out , she starts to drag him over the broken shards of glass , there was no other option. She knows she could have used the bullets , but she decided to keep them as outmost last resort.
when they finally get out of the car , she drags him over the other car as well. he rests a little , they both do.
"Thank you he says out of breath"
"No need to, we cannot rest here a lot , we need to move out"
he agrees , she helps him get up. his legs are not broken but he is bleeding , he didn't manage to walk correctly for a while so she helped him.
When they do get out of the parking lot , they take a breath , the wind is very cold , but there is no snow nor rain.
Heels asks for him to show where he was hurt , her theory was correct , his leg is functional , but the bleeding isn't stopping anytime soon. she takes his scarf and puts it on the pain , this can slow down the bleeding , until they find help.
then after walking on the road , they hear behind them Horses coming , people were riding them.
They stopped them .
"Who are you?"
"My Name is Heels , we need help"
"Prove you are human first" the captain commands
"I am Sails, i am the leader of Libra" sails says coughing
"Core elements can take a human form , so prove you are humans in the next minute otherwise we will kill you"
Sails leaves Heel's help , she tries to follow him , but he makes a gesture in his hand to say no.
"We are humans , because we adapted to this" he points to the parking lot .
one of the men get down from their horse , he takes the hand of Sails , another takes the hand of Heels , they put a gadget above his skin, it scans them , the gadget gives a green color for both.
"I think this is a bigger proof sir, but i can tell you're not from around here"
The guards help Sails and Heels to get on one of the horses . Then they continue on their road .
