It was happening again, a nightmare, that was absorbing all the self-assurance of Sarah.

Fog was everywhere, thick and dark grey. Sara couldn't even see her hand in front of her.

'An nightmare again' thought Sara.
But this time it was different. It was worse than the other times.

Suddenly, a bright voice started speaking in echoes:" There are 4 that will save the Sacred. The first is the pure golden hearted healer of hurt ones, the second one is a warrior of the justice, the third one is a guardian of the weak ones, and the last, the most powerful and strong soul of all four, leader of the 4 miracles. The four will save the universe from the destruction and reign of the darkness."

Sara looked around confused and didn't understand what the voice wanted, but it continued talking nevertheless.
"The time has come. The awakening of the four chosen ones. They're sharing the same blood line, but have different duties that they must fulfil until it isn't too late. If they fail, the whole universe will collapse, and not a soul will survive, and darkness will rule after its desires."

"W-what do you mean?? About who or what are you talking about?!"
'Collapse? Four choosen? 4 save 7? Four what? Darkness? What is that all about??' Tought she confused and worried.

"It's time for the awakening," repeated the bright voice "You will understand when the times has come." The voice stopped and didn't continue, but echoes roamed around from her words.

Suddenly she saw different colourful lights playing in the fog around her. Four lights, one blue, a yellow, a green and a red one. After a split of the moment, she saw some visions. One after another thrown without a break.

Some of them were too bright to look at, or the fog was too thick to see them. Some of them were too fast, and some of them happened in slow motion and feelt like forever. Some of them were with Blood and wounds, which scared Sarah. Some of the faces were known and some not. She saw herself, but she felt that wasn't right, she felt that that Sarah was far from her, the Sarah shes now.

Suddenly, the lights that were playing in the fog around her started surrounding her rapidly like moons its planet. They circled her faster and faster like they were catched in an orbit around her. Suddenly she felt something that went through her. There was intense pain in her chest. She felt a warm liquid that rolled down her body what made her whimper and shiver in fear. She looked down at her body slowly terrefied, and she saw blood splashed up, everywhere on her. She looked behind her and saw in blurry vision an unknown siluete. And after of second, she blacked out completely.

She heard a well known voice calling her in the darkness:" Sara!" It became louder and louder.

Sara finally woke up with a shriek. There were small tear drops in her eyes. She was all sweated up. She looked around, still scared when she noticed surprised next to her Akro:" Sara! Darling, are you ok? You murmured and mourned in your dream, and your face expression was pure panic! Was it a nightmare?" Sara didn't hesitate and hugged him:" Oh, Akro, you are well! I thought you wouldn't wake up again!" Tears formed in her eyes.

Akro was in a surprised pose but then hugged her tight with a warm smile because he was also happy finally seeing her again.

"I missed you so much! How did you regonize me? Before, y-you called me otherways-".

Akro sitted down next to her still holding her hands with his both hands and explained:"Because of the bandana you put back on my troaght." He showed on his troaght."No one else could have my bandana than you. I regonized by the smell. I knew it was you from the first time I saw you but I wasn't sure. And I didn't had time to ask. Also your scent is still the same as when 8 saw you last." He smiled bright.

Sara nodded while laughing:" Yeah, but I-uh-well. Oh my gosh, I have so many questions! Why are you here? How did you get here? How are the others? Oh man, it's so good to talk to you again after 3 damn years! I felt so damn lonely."

Akro Suddenly made a confused face :"Wait, WAIT! Stop right there - did I hear right? 3 years!? Don't you mean 3 months??"

Sara shook her head confused:" No, it passed 3 years since I saw you last, now I'm 17. You should be 20 by now -"

"Wait what?!" Asked Akro even more confused. "First I'm still 17 and second there can't have passed 3 years! By Azrythia passed only 3 months since you and your siblings left. You're misunderstanding something, Sara!" Ended he his sentence while tilting his head.

Sara shook her head again confused:" Akro no, believe me, here passed 3 years-" in a split of second she understanded what was going on. "Oh wait, maybe I understand this! Azrythia has another timeline, not like earth, while here Passes 1 year by Azrythia passes only 1 month!"

Akros face expression was lost in toughts while rubbing his kin:" Yeah, that makes sense. Since these two worlds are in two different universes, it's the timelines that are different. So wait - wait, you are 17 now!?" Ended he shocked.

Sara nodded:"Yup, Fin is now 15, Lui is 14, and Vanessa is 12. And also my birthday was a few days ago." Continued she careless like it was normal.

Akro made a shocked face expression:" Woah, that's a hit. I can't imagine Vanessa that old. By the way, happy birthday!"
And he kissed her on her cheek and than smiled warm.
Sara blushed while smiling bright as well:" Aww youre too cute!" She continued seriously "But please don't move too much. You still have to recover. You're injured really badly, and it's not to he joked about. You have many burns and bad cuts."

Akro looked at his injured body and acknowledged:" Yes you're right. I don't look like in my best shape.
But are you alright? You were hurted earlier by your ankle, right? You couldn't even walk properly. How did you bring us here??"
Sara stared at the ground and shruged:" Pff me? Im alright! I bandaged my feet so what bad can happen. Hazel already showed me how to do it a few years ago. No big thing-"

Akro placed his hand on Sara's cheek and, with the other took her hand again:" Hey, it isn't nothing! I would have messed it up!"

Sara chuckled by his respond, what made him blush.
She than asked:" You hungry?"

Akro nooded and Sara went to her packback and took some sandwiches and marshmellows out.

Akro gasped:" Wow, where did you get all this stuff?! Wait a minute, where you-"

"Yup, was about to run away from home." Ended she the sentence harsh and emotionless.

"Was it, because of your parents?" Asked the wolf.

Sara nooded silently while giving him a ham Sandwich.

Akro nodded bashful:" Yes that would be great. But you have to eat something too. You're too weak and you need energy before doing anything else, ok?."
Sara smiled and nooded, while biting in her sandwhich.

°•°•°Time Skip°•°•°

Sara and Akro were finishing their sandwiches and marshmellows while having a conversation about the time they were apart.

"Not much happened, Eve and Nico are still partners and plan on marriage. Aura is as usually taking care of the base. Hazel and Blacknight are taking care of the things being cleaned like the garage or the Odyssey. But, it felt empty without you guys. I really, missed you Sara." Continued Akro his sentence while took the last marshmellow off his stick.

"Oh, really? Well, I thought it had to be safer if we had just left and returned on earth. But, I was wrong, " replied Sara and explained about the last years in her life, all the bad and good stuff, even there was more bad stuff than good. "That's why I think its better to be in danger, where we feel home and happy. Then suffering here on 'safety'.

"Wow - that was uh...I'm sorry to hear that Sara, I mean that with your family." Said Akro with sympathy and sorrowful look" I grew in a lovely family. So, if I would say that I know how you feel, I would be lying."

Sara tried to hold her tears back:" It's..." the Human girl made a break and sighted because she didn't know what to say" It changed so much, my life, my siblings, even I changed! I don't regonize myself or anyone else. I- *sob* it's so confusing and it hurts. I hate *sob* changes! I wanted to stay as I were. Everyone to stay as they were."

She tried not to cry, but all was in vain, hot tears were falling from her eyes careless of her will:" I don't know what to do I feel so lost! Everything went grey since I left you and the others! M-my *sob* siblings changed also because of that and they hate me now. At school they all bully me and call me names. My dad is *sob* abusing us and my mom also hates me a-and that's why I ran away. I don't know what to do, I'm a curse to everyone!- EVERYONE HATES ME! NOBODY NEEDS A CRYBABY AND A DUMPSTER LIKE ME!" Said she while trying to wipe away her tears, but her crying went more louder and heavier, comingeven more tears than before. Sara was disgusted by herself but relieved that she left finally all her pain out.

Out of sudden she felt Akro rising his kin:"Sara I love you no matter what."

Sara started sobbing uncontrollably again leaning against his chest. Akro stroke her on the back and holding one of her hands while she was letting it out.
She than felt the warm hands embraceing her face. Sara looked in Akros eyes:" W- *sob* why do you even care about me? I can't offer you anything!"

Akros eyes were burning with passion and determination:" I dont care! You are my anything! I dont want anything from you! I just want to make my love happy!"

Sara took his hands in her palms, still crying in pain. Crying for the changed, crying for the hatred she has gotten for so long, crying for finally being with him again.

Akro took her arms in his again his eyes were narrowed in hers, tenderness was sparkling in them:" Sara , I see that you're hurt, that you're broken! But I still want to be part of you! Of your life! I love you, not important how broken or lost you are! I want to be here for you no matter what!!" Ended he.

Sara looked down. She stopped crying, but her expression was emotionless but tears were still rolling down.

"But," started Akro "You know, I always tought there wasnt any true love for me. Because I was broken too. People say you wont find love until you love yourself. So I knew it was impossible for me." Sara looked in his eyes wondered:" But Akro, how? You're literally perfection in person!"

Akro chuckled:" You're the perfect one here rose." He than looked down and continued his talk " But," he started blushing and smiling woth sweetness" Since I met you, a kind, sweet and open soul, who doesn't take and only gives. I got inspired by you. And because of that, I became the me I'm today." He looked in her eyes, his smile was making her blush. His eyes were sparkling like stars.

"Do you, mean all that?" Asked she trembling in tears of happiness by his sweet words.

He layed his forehead on hers:"With every damn cell of my body."

Akro dried her tears while hugging her tight to him. She felt the delicate lips of the wolf on her cheek, giving her a small kiss. Sara closed her eyes and went nearer in the wolfs warm soft embrace. Sara smiled while letting out a sight as she felt that Akro pulling her closer. She calmed down as she felt again his soft fur on her fragile delicate skin, while she felt one of Akros hands in her hair stroking her , and the other on her back that was holding her close to him.

After a while the wolf talked again:" You're the reason why I returned. I returned for you. To take you back to Azrythia. Where you feel the best and at home, back to us. Earth doesn't deserve you."
She replied thrilled with a smile:" I tought you wouldn't come back for me, but if it would have been like that I would have searched for you my whole life."

"That is a long time. I would do the same thing. Knowing you happy and safe is one of my prioritys!"

"Oh yeah? Well, my priority is getting sure you dont do stupid things again, like fighting that monster today." Chuckled she.

Both of them feel quickly asleep with a smile and holding hands, keeping each other warm in a cild night.
