The door of the large elevator was starting to close. Delta was still hanging from the overhanging beam in the collapsing building. Fire started to spread in the area between the beam and elevator. One jump could mean death- or life. Beta was pounding furiously at the glass from within the elevator.
“No! I have to stay with my brother!” she yelled, trying to break through the heavy glass.
“There’s no time. But if you keep being such a pain, we may as well throw you out with him,” the voice behind her spoke.
“I don’t care! I’d rather die with him than live without him!” The man behind her made a motion with his hand, and two soldiers held her back, and she fought vainly to fend them off. The elevator started to move. Delta was able to jump from the pillar, and made it directly on the glass, but didn’t reach the elevator in time, as it started to descend underground. He pounded helplessly at the roof of the elevator shaft, desperate to be with Beta.
“You monster! You ignorant murderer! Your solution solves nothing!” Beta screamed, thrusting her arm out of the soldier’s grasp. The dark-haired man turned, giving her a dark, emotionless stare.
“You got yourself into this. You’re coming with us whether you like it or not. Take her out. The damage will have already be done by the time she gets up,”
“No! Damn you and your Empire!” She managed to yell out before hit with anesthetics.
Delta saw this happening from above, and then realized there was no hope. He jumped down from the top of the shaft and back around the flames of the burning building. He closed his eyes, letting the world around him embrace.
Just sleep. You’ll get to see your sister one last time...
