Sawyer turned to them all and hesitated before he said, "I can't take everyone with me, but I believe the two injured should be tended to first. I could try to send someone for you in a while, but it is really dangerous." He let out a long sigh. William held Addison close and tried to calm her down. "Addison, you need to go with him. So you can get better," he whispered. As much as he hated to be separated from her again...she needed help.

[`sappho]

"okay", addison said quietly, trying not to show how scared she was to go without everyone else. cosette hugged allie then walked towards sawyer with addison. allie looked over at jared. she was glad that she didn't have to be separated from everyone but she felt scared for addison and cosette.

Sawyer waited for them to come over before he sent their friends a small smile. "They will be in good hands," he assured them before he closed his eyes. And just like that, he, Cosette and Addison were gone. Jared went to Allie and pulled her and Destiny close. William frowned as he finally realized something. "What happened to Frost?"

[`sappho]

addison and cosette watched as allie, jared, destiny and william vanished before their eyes and they were suddenly in a room that looked a bit like a hospital but smaller and the room was fully white like rest of the world they had seen. "why is everything white here"? addison asked sawyer.

allie looked at william. "she jumped in front of us when the rouge that was trying to kill us shot a bullet at us, she bled out after that", she told william.

Sawyer motioned for Addison and Cosette to lie down. "Someone should be in to check on the both of you soon," he began as he turned to them. At Addison's question, he smiled. "That's the mystery, isn't it?" he inquired. "I will be back with some fresh clothes for the both of you as well as some food." He was beginning to feel the loss without Frost by his side.

William let that sink in as he dipped his head to the ground. "Oh," he whispered. As bad as he felt, he was grateful that she had saved his friends' lives -- his brother's especially. "I am glad you three are okay, though," he whispered.

[`sappho]

"alright", addison said quietly. she looked over at cosette who seemed to be staring into nothing which was not really possible because she was blind and could only see by touch or smell. she sighed then laid back on the bed that she was sitting on. from where she was laying she could see nurses in all white treating other people who were all in crisp white outfits. there was an annoying lack of colors in the land they were in.

allie nodded. "i am glad we are alive but at the cost of her life? it's horrible to be grateful, it was selfish for us to steal her long life from her", she said with a sigh.

Sawyer left and came back a few minutes later with some fresh clothes, two glasses of orange juice, and some food. "I figured you two would need it," he stated as he first set the tray in front of Addison and then Cosette. It seemed for the first time that he recognized that she was blind. "Will you need help with anything?" he asked uncertainly.

Jared and William shared a look before Jared pulled Allie a bit closer. "She saved us. I think she showed the biggest act of bravery that anyone could," he stated, hoping to make Allie feel a bit better. He held her hand tightly and smiled weakly.

[`sappho]

"thank you," addison said to sawyer taking some of the clothes, a glass of orange juice and some food. cosette looked at him blindly then said, "i'm okay", she said to him then felt around for the food, juice and clothes around her.

allie nodded, wrapping her arms around jared, laying her head on his shoulder then let out a sigh. "i guess we should make our way to the place were sawyer took addison and cosette".

[teeshirt.]

Sawyer paused for a moment before he nodded and sent a smile that she wouldn't be able to see her way. "If you need help, don't be afraid to ask," he told her. He stepped away and half smiled. "That goes for you too," he told Addison. "If you need help, just ask."

Jared nodded in agreement. He was worried about them, and he was sure William was doing all that he could to stay sane. "Let's go," he agreed as he stood and offered Allie a hand. He glanced over at William, who seemed to already be heading out.
