I'm so terrible with this story! I need to update more often. But I haven't given up on it! That's a good sign, right?

Chapter 13- Hannah to the Rescue!

The black jet landed not half a mile away from the shore. Hannah pushed up on the glass frame of the cockpit and jumped to the ground. She took a few steps away but then collapsed into the dirt, sobbing into her hands. She had left Shadow behind! What would they be doing to him? He was injured! How would he fight back?

There had to be some way to go back and rescue him. She had to! She could never live with herself if she just did nothing... but, Nekuia would tell him! How would Hannah be able to face Shadow and look him in the eyes if he knew about all the horrible things she had done.

Hannah slumped forward on the ground and sobbed openly, "Oh, what should I do?" she shouted desperately pounding her fist against the grass. A moment later she was struck in the back of the head by something hard. She looked up and saw a brown haired girl sitting in a tree nearby glaring down at her, a black bag was slung over her shoulder and she had a very serious expression on her face.

"If you don't stop bawling like that I'll have to throw a bigger rock at you." she said folding her arms across her chest.

"W-who are you?" Hannah demanded wiping away her tears.

"The name's Liz, but that's not important right now." she replied, "What is important is that you're completely underestimating yourself."

Hannah stared up at her, "What are you talking about?" she demanded.

Liz rolled her eyes and jumped down from the tree, "I know all about you," she said, "You think you're a failure because you're whole life that's what people have called you."

Hannah looked away angrily, "Leave me alone." she muttered.

"How could you possibly help Shadow?" Liz continued, ignoring Hannah's mumbling, "You're just a failed experiment, a copy of him gone wrong. Hell, you're not even the right gender! Why should you be able to do anything against a big bad corporation like GUN?"

"SHUTUP!" Hannah screamed covering her ears. She didn't know who this person was or how she knew so much about her and the situation she was in but she didn't want to hear anymore! Especially because it was all true.

As she felt the tears coming on again she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked back up to see Liz crouching beside her with a smile, "You know, none of that is true." she said.

Hannah only stared up at her with wide eyes wondering what she was getting at but she kept talking, "You shouldn't think about yourself like that you know. You're not a failure."

"Yes I am." Hannah cried looking back down at the ground miserably.

Liz lifted her head up again so she was looking into Hannah's eyes, "You're only a failure if that's what you make yourself." she said with a bright smile. Hannah only stared at her for a moment before Liz stood up again with a laugh, "Wow, that's way too much mushy inspirational talk for me." she said stretching her arms. She looked back down to Hannah and took the black bag off her shoulder and tossing it on the ground in front of Hannah.

"If you're going to do the right thing then you might want to get going." Liz said turning to go, "I have somewhere to be so the rest is up to you."

"What's this for?" Hannah asked looking down at the bag in front of her.

"Just open it!" Liz called back, "You'll know what to do."

Hannah stared at the bag for another moment but then reached forward and unzipped it looking inside at the contents. As she did her eyes became wide as she spotted a purple chaos emerald sparkling back at her...

Good, you made it this far. Well, the thing about this chapter is that it's GOING to be much much longer. I just felt that I had to update at least once before it became eight months of nothingness. Don't worry, I'll have the rest of this chapter up later in the week. Probably saturday or sunday so, if you actually care, you should check back on those days to see if I've added the rest.

SORRY xP
