Chapter 20 - Ch.20: Mystery

Em

I feel Sam lose her grip on consciousness. My grip on her feels slippery, I slightly tighten my grip. I swerve here and there, dodging trees and tall, light-colored poles with wires. I'm so high that I'm in the damp clouds, they're numbing the pain of deep scratches on my arm. 

You think you can run away that easily from me? I'll find you again. All I need is the girl and then I'll set you free...  I hear loudly, she's close by. I shake my head and push myself to my limit, flapping as hard as I can but I'm too tired. 

Stay away from me, mother! You don't even deserve that title… I'll make sure that you don't find me again. Where did you go when I was young? Why did you leave me? Why do you need my only friend?! Who needs her!?... I see a valley full of forests that I don't recognize, which means that we could hide. I swiftly dip into a valley and look for an area big enough to fit me and to cover my large body.

Only someone who I know and who knows her… and someone who I can't ignore, I owe them my life... I feel her energy fade and her words disappear from my mind. Which means I succeeded. I sigh in relief before I could ask her what she meant, I feel her presence fade from my conscience completely. I find a decent and comfortable ledge to sit on. I walk on my remaining feet, carrying Sam to the ledge. I carefully set her down, licking her wounds to heal them as when I finished, my mouth was filled with the taste of metal and her wounds were just red scrapes. My wounds were healing too,  I lay my head near her frail body, her torso approximately the size of my head, making me realize how big I am compared to her. But I'm too tired to dwell on the thought. I close my eyes, adrenaline turning into exhaustion. Exhaustion turning into darkness, my last through before I fell; 

"Someone who I know and who knows her… and someone who I can't ignore, I owe them my life.."  Who was she talking about?
