A/N: Sorry for the long wait but RL and getting sick kind of put the muse on hold. But here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy. Please review. =)

Sara closed her eyes and jumped when she heard the gunshot. She refused to open them, refused to acknowledge that all that happened was true. “You cannot keep them closed forever, Sara.” A woman’s voice broke out.

“Yes I can,” Sara replied a bit childishly.

“No, you cannot my dear. If you do that then you will miss everything else. Open your eyes and except what you see, Sara.” She opened them, her attention immediately drawn to Elizabeth. Then to the form of Kenneth Irons' body lying unconsciously on the cold concrete floor. “What the hell happened to him?” Sara asked curiously. “See when you don’t open your eyes. You missed out what happened.” Elizabeth teased.

Sara rolled her eyes and sighed, “So you going to tell me or not?”

“Impatiently, Kenneth donned the Witchblade soon after killing me. As you know, the destined wielder can only wear the Witchblade. All pretenders female and men alike are to be punished. His,” Elizabeth pointed at Kenneth, “Punishment was/is far more severe then most.”

“From what I’ve heard most pretenders either die or go insane after wearing the blade. Irons is zero in two if you haven’t noticed. The man is definitely not dead and he’s not insane well at least by most standards.”

“Do not worry Sara, Kenneth’s punishment is set. It is just a matter of time before it is served.” Elizabeth informed.

“Great,” Sara sarcastically replied.

Elizabeth turned her back on Sara and stared walking over the two bodies. “Ah, doesn’t it bother you. Standing there looking over your dead body?” Sara questioned. Knowing if it was her body, she would have a very big problem.

“I am not looking at myself, Sara.”

“Oh,” she whispered, staring down at Christian’s lifeless body.

“And before you ask, Sara, yes I could have done something. I could have done many things to prevent this. Yet, it does not matter now. My Christian is not coming back.”

“Then what the hell is the point of this whole dream/vision?” Frustrated she asked.

“Have you not been listening with an open mind, heart, Sara? Do you still not understand? You are given a chance. A chance to avoid making the same mistakes that Cathain, I, and so many others has made.” Elizabeth exclaimed.

“In the end the only thing that was left was the hurt and the pain. Why should I set myself up for that?”

“That is a part of life, Sara. The pain is inevitable no matter what we do. What does matter is how you live up to that point. Are you going to shelter yourself from feeling anything at all like Cathain? Or be like me and wait for that very last moment? Only to later regret on what could have been if I had not wasted so much time in being afraid and stubborn. You have an opportunity so many of us would gladly have but we don’t, you do. Do not waste it.” Sara averted the woman’s intense gaze. Elizabeth sighed, hoping that this lesson was not taken in vain by this stubborn woman.

A blinding flash of light engulfed the room. Sara covered her eyes with the back of her arm. After a few moments she moved her arm, squinting against the bright glare. Gradually her eyes began to adjust to the sudden change in scenery. She blinked a few times and found herself in a metal covered hallway. She whirled around trying to find some kind of exit. The only thing she found was metal down at the end of the hall.

“Where are we now?” Sara asked, a shrill of trepidation coursing up her spine. The hairs on the back of her neck were standing on ends. She did not like the feeling one bit.

“A modern version of the past.” Elizabeth informed, not a hint of emotion laced her voice. Nothing for Sara to use or decipher on what was going to happen next. ‘Ah, shit. Not that riddle crap again.’ Sara sighed as she followed closely behind Eÿ
