Chapter Sixteen
===============
 

Tina and Michelle were laughing and joking together as Tina was driving down the interstate. Michelle thought that it was a little strange having the air conditioning on full, but Tina didn't want to get too horny just yet.

For both of them, they felt as if an enormous burden of weight had been lifted from them. They had each blamed themselves for the events of three days ago, yet they both now realized that what happened was a pure accident and they were equally to blame.

They were also beginning to feel even closer together because they were in a very similar situation. They had both lost all of their friends and family and they right now, they both needed each other more than anything.

"Will my powers make it easier for me to be a witch then?" Michelle asked as she was studying a map that Tina had bought from the store earlier.

Tina just shrugged, "I don't know. It might make it easier. It might make it harder. Until we find out exactly what this power of yours is, I can't say."

Tina took the turnoff to get onto the interstate. As she did so, in the corner of her eye, she could swear she saw someone she recognized on the far side of the road going in the other direction, some six lanes away.

She shook herself as she realized that she was feeling paranoid. She knew that every single shadow would be suspect to her now.

As she picked up speed, Tina was agreeing to herself that they should go and recover Michelle's stash of money near Las Vegas. At first, she was hesitant about the idea because a number of the Ravens live in Vegas. However, they didn't have much choice because Tina's own magical powers were getting low and she needed to keep some in reserve for emergencies. Getting a new car had been the last time she would be able to use her powers effectively for the new few days.

But Tina guessed that they should be safe going to Vegas, because they wouldn't actually go to Vegas itself, but just into the Nevada desert. Even if they did meet up with some Ravens, they would have no reason to suspect that Michelle wasn't just a member of her group. Over the new few days, Tina would coach Michelle in the ways of the Kithra, so she could easily pass off as a member of the Falcons. Her pendant would help, but she needed to know the phrases. Tina thought that it was best not to worry Michelle about the fact that they would be going into Raven territory, at least not just yet.

"Tina. Are you sure you want to go on the run with me?" Michelle asked in a tone that surprised Tina.

"What sort of a question is that. Of course I do," Tina stated.

"It's just that you don't need to. I mean, I can take care of myself. If you want to go back to your family, you can. I don't want you to stay with me just because you feel you need to protect me."

Although Tina could see that Michelle was now much more capable of protecting herself and Tina's burden of blame had been substantially lifted, Tina also felt an obligation to help Michelle. She did, after all, save her life and regardless of why her spell went so badly wrong, she wasn't just about to leave Michelle at this critical point.

"No, Michelle. I'm not leaving you," she stated emphatically.

"But what will they do to you if they catch you. I mean, I know they'll kill me, but what about you."

Tina could see what Michelle was attempting to say. She didn't want to be responsible for causing any harm to Tina if she felt she could do it alone. It was a sweet gesture, but although Tina now realized that Michelle wasn't the helpless female that everyone believed, she would still find it incredibly tough on her own. Michelle still needed Tina and Tina was not about to desert her, especially now.

"Look Michelle. They're not after me; they're after you. Yeah, they'll be pissed at me for helping you and if they ever do catch me, they'll punish me. But they won't hurt me. If there's ever a time when they close in on us, I'll let myself be caught so you can escape."

Although Tina wasn't completely sure that she would come to no harm and couldn't rule out the fact that she wouldn't be killed herself, she believed that she stood a much better chance of escaping execution than Michelle.

"Oh, you don't have to do that," Michelle said, before Tina could think any more.

"No. I mean it. I'll do whatever it takes to defend you Michelle. You still saved my life and I'll do whatever it takes to protect you and if I'm ever caught, I'll never reveal your secret to them, no matter what. Not until I'm sure that it's for the best."

In the short time since leaving the motel, it allowed Tina to think about Michelle's telekinetic powers. Although her own group would probably welcome the news of Michelle's telekinetic powers, Tina was getting concerned that even the Falcons may consider Michelle's powers to be a threat. She wasn't sure how to proceed and it would take a lot of careful thought as to whether revealing Michelle's powers to the Falcons would be the right thing to do.

Tina's words however, greatly eased Michelle's worry that she might be tearing Tina away from her family. Michelle thought that there was no need to ruin another life. However, she saw from Tina's responses, that she had no intention of changing her mind.

*****************

"I'm sorry Mary. I can't do it," Sarah said as tears were in her eyes.

"You've got to," Mary replied sternly as she was trying to hand the stone to Sarah.

"I can't," Sarah stated.

"Sarah, listen to me. They're already caught. We've surrounded them. Monica's car is still there. They're gonna be caught either way, but this way, Tina will be all right. Do you really want Hank's storm troopers going in there first."

"But it'll hurt Tina," Sarah pleaded, knowing that an attack from a power stone could cause intense pain in the victim.

"Yes, it will cause her some pain and it might put her into a deep sleep, but it won't cause her any harm. She'll be alright."

Sarah shook her head again.

"It's your choice Sarah. But if you don't do it, I'm sure Hank will go in, shooting to kill. I don't know what he's planing, but I'm sure it isn't pleasant."

Sarah couldn't take the emotional torture anymore, "Forgive me Tina, please," Sarah whispered as she took the stone

*****************

Michelle was finally beginning to relax as Tina was driving them further away, now approaching the Pennsylvania border. Tina had suggested that they drive all the way to Las Vegas. Although they could attempt to get a plane or train, Tina didn't have much money left and didn't want to use her magic unless absolutely necessary.

What Tina didn't tell Michelle is that she also couldn't risk putting Michelle in an enclosed public place until her pheromones had calmed down because she would have hundreds of guys hitting on her within minutes. Constant attention from guys was something that Michelle would have to get used to, but now wasn't the time for her to start learning.

Tina also realized that it might do them some good to be on the road together for several days.

Suddenly Tina felt a little uneasy. She felt her chest becoming very tight as if a huge weight was pressing against her. Tina screamed in pain as Michelle nearly jumped out of her seat. Tina clutched the steering wheel hard and the car swerved across several lanes as Tina's body spasmed, narrowly avoiding contact with several other vehicles.

Michelle grabbed the wheel and pulled them over to the side. She tried to reach her leg over to hit the brake, but her dress prevented her. Thinking quickly, she looked down, reached out with her mind and applied pressure to the brake pedal. The car stopped quickly at the side of the road.

"Oh my God, they've found us," Tina screamed as she realized what was happening. They had gotten close enough to use a power stone on her. How did they find them?

"What, what can I do," Michelle shrieked in panic. She had no idea what was happening to Tina.

"Michelle, t-they've found us," Tina called. Through the pain, her mind was racing with the possibilities. If they were using a power stone against her, it would also mean that they could track her down like a bloodhound because her spirit would be magically highlighted.

"L-Leave me Michelle. R-Run Michelle. Leave M-m... " Tina's words trailed off as she slipped into unconsciousness.

*****************

Michelle rushed into the small hospital, carrying Tina in her arms.

"Help her, please," she cried out.

A couple of nurses ran up, bringing a hospital gurney with them. Michelle placed Tina on the bed. The nurses took her away. Michelle tried to follow, but another nurse held her back.

"We need to know what's wrong with her," she asked.

"I-I err... don't know," Michelle replied. She knew she couldn't tell them that she had been subjected to a witch attack.

"Has she taken anything?" the nurse asked.

"Err... No. She just collapsed and screamed," Michelle replied.

The nurse went away, leaving Michelle all alone. She slowly walked into a waiting area. She could instantly see a few open mouths as she took an empty seat, attempting to find a seat, which left the greatest distance between her self and any man in the room.

As she looked around, she could see that everyone was starting at her, some very blatantly. All of the guys were physically drooling and most of the women were looking at her with stares of jealousy; some nudging their partners, demanding that they not stare at her.

It was the first time Michelle was out in public dressed as a woman and she could see that it was going to take a lot of getting used to. When one of the nurses returned with a clipboard wanting to ask Michelle some questions, she was only too glad to finally get out of the waiting room.

"Hi there. Can I ask you that woman's name", the nurse asked.

"S-sorry," Michelle stuttered. She had been in this position before, when she had been asked her own name three days ago. But this situation was different.

Michelle knew that she couldn't give them Tina's real name. If she did that, it would alert her group to where they really were. But right now, Tina needed help. Michelle was no doctor, but she knew that whatever they did to Tina was very severe. She had screamed in pain and begged Michelle to leave her.

"Her name?" the nurse repeated.

"Brenda Simmonds," Michelle responded, making up the name on the spot.

"Address?" queried the woman.

Michelle paused, then made up an address. She knew that the nurses would soon discover that she hadn't given them the correct information, but it would at least buy her some time.

After the nurse asked a few more questions, she asked Michelle to take a seat, but Michelle couldn't sit down. Instead, she just paced up and down the corridor, thinking about her options. As she was thinking, several guys walked up to her, asking if they could help her. Michelle turned them all down, knowing the kind of help they really wanted to give her, but some of them wouldn't take no for an answer. Eventually a security guard came to her assistance.

Michelle knew that she couldn't stay for long, because the witches were obviously close. In fact, Michelle realized that she only had a few minutes in which to make up her mind. She knew that she had two possible choices. She could either barge into the ER and take Tina away, or she could leave on her own. Either way, she couldn't afford to stay for much longer than a few minutes.

The reason she had brought Tina to the hospital was so that she could receive help. But now that she was there, she realized that the only people that could help her, were the Falcons.

Michelle also noted that Tina had requested that Michelle leave her and run away. "How could Tina suggest that," Michelle thought to herself. There had to be a reason for it.

She knew that she had to leave, but the big question was whether she should take Michelle with her. Although she thought that she could take care of herself, Michelle realized all those guys started hitting on her, that she had a lot to learn.

She really needed Tina, but she had to put Tina's best interests first. Taking Tina away might be what's best for Michelle, but it might not be what's best for Tina.

*****************

Hank walked into the small hospital with three other men. As soon as Sarah had used the power stone on Tina, they all knew that something was wrong, because they couldn't locate Tina within their net. It quickly occurred to them that Tina and Michelle had already left the motel, obviously in another car, but they were still close enough for the power stone to work, albeit at a lesser degree.

Tracking down Tina had proved difficult. A power stone attack usually highlights the victim, making it very easy to locate them. Obviously because Tina was on the limits of it's range, their ability to locate her was made all the more difficult. They had already been to two false readings on Tina's position, but this time, it seemed to be more definite.

Hank also couldn't believe his luck at the fact that no other team was in the area. His team was completely alone. None of the other search teams even knew that they were at the hospital. As far as everyone else was concerned, they were still out looking.

"Hi, have you had two young women brought in here recently," Hank asked one of the nurses. "One's a tall blonde and the other a medium sized brunette."

"Huh, how could we forget," the nurse replied.

"Well," Hank asked impatiently.

"Yeah, well the blonde woman carried in the brunette a couple of hours ago. We took the brunette, a Miss Simmonds or something into the ER. After we asked the blonde girl some questions, she just vanished. It was really weird."

"Damn," Hank thought. He was really after Michelle, not Tina. "So, the brunette's still here then," Hank asked. At least capturing Tina was better than nothing, Hank considered.

"Yeah. We've put her in a side room to monitor her. Her pulse is very weak but we can't find anything wrong," the nurse replied.

"Can we see her?" Hank asked.

*****************

Michelle was in Tina's hospital room, gently holding her hand. Although she had thought about leaving Tina, she found that she just couldn't do it. Every time she attempted to start the engine of the car and drive away, her body refused.

Eventually, she realized that she couldn't leave Tina and that she had to go back. She decided to execute her second option, which was to take Tina away with her. She located another entrance to the hospital, then found a way to get into the suspended ceiling area. Using her powers to float along, it allowed her to get to virtually any room in the hospital.

At first she hovered above the ER, listening to the doctors around Tina. She was shocked to hear them saying how ill Tina had become. Although she was no doctor herself, she could tell that Tina's situation was grave, with her low pulse and blood pressure. Michelle knew, in that instant, that she couldn't take Tina away because it might kill her.

Eventually, after the doctors thought Tina's condition was stable, they moved her to an intensive care room, with various monitors. Michelle was able to float above the room and use her powers to close the blinds to the room. She then removed one of the polystyrene ceiling panels and entered the room properly, so that she could be with Tina.

Every five minutes, one of the nurses or doctors would come into the room to check up on Michelle. In order to remain hidden, Michelle had to use her powers to jam the door shut, until she was completely hidden from view.

As Michelle looked at Tina, she begged to know what the Falcons had done to Tina. They had almost killed her. A deep burning rage was filling the void of Tina's loss. Already, she was promising to make sure those responsible would pay if Tina did not recover.

*****************

Chapter Seventeen
=================

Hank and the three others were walking down the corridor with the nurse to Tina's room. Two of the men had made themselves invisible, so as not to attract extra attention. They had the ability to make themselves invisible to the human eye, though they would still show up on video cameras and other detection devices, which could not be affected by their magic.

When they reached the room and the nurse attempted to open the door, she discovered the door would not budge.

"Oh, not again," the nurse commented.

"What?" Hank asked, worried.

"This door keeps getting jammed," she said.

The nurse gave another strong push against the door, but it would not yield.

"Here, let me try," Hank volunteered, wanting to get into the room as soon as possible. The nurse took a step back as Hank moved in front of the door and pushed it. The door opened with surprisingly little effort.

As soon as the door was opened, all five people walked inside the small room, to see Tina lying on a bed, hooked up to various monitors. Hank breathed a sigh of relief. Although they could detect Tina was nearby; there was a thought at the back of his mind, that Tina might not be there.

One of the young men escorted the nurse out of the room again, to ask her some more questions. Everybody else just looked at Tina lying on the hospital bed.

Up above, in the ceiling, Michelle was straining to make sure that she didn't make a single sound as she floated above the suspended ceiling. In those situations, it seems that every sound is amplified a thousand fold. Her breathing seemed like jet engine and her bones appeared to creak loudly at every minute movement. Even her dress and her bra seemed to strain as they expanded with every breath she took.

Michelle was carefully watching what was going on below. She had been careless in replacing the ceiling tile, but it allowed her to peek down and observe the three people around Tina.

Michelle saw one of the men lean over Tina. At first, she though he was going to hurt her. Michelle was about to intervene, when he leant up.

"She'll be okay... as long as we get her back. She'll be in a coma for the next week though," he said to Hank.

"Are you sure she's okay? These numbers look pretty bad," the other man commented as he looked at the monitors.

"Yeah, this is what happens if they fight the attack," he pointed out. "It leaves them in a deep sleep for days. I know it looks bad, but she'll be fine as long as we get her back. If we don't get her back quickly, she could be stuck in this state for months."

At that point, the man who had been talking to the nurse returned. "I've asked around. Michelle disappeared about ninety minutes ago."

There were several groans of frustration around the room, that even Michelle could hear from her vantage point above. Michelle then felt a slight lurch as she fell a few inches toward the floor. She struggled to remain silent, but she was in near panic as she realized what was happening. Her telekinetic powers were weakening. If she stayed much longer, she would end up falling through the ceiling, straight into their hands. However, she used all her mental strength to try to stay as long as she could.

"Well, we had better secure the area, then get after Michelle," one man said.

At that point, Michelle felt that she couldn't hang around any longer. She used her powers to float directly forward, until she found a comfortable point from which she could rest.

"Yeah. Let's get after her," Hank said dejected. He knew that a ninety-minute head start would put Michelle well out of their range and probably into another search team.

"Hang on a minute," Hank said to the others as he reached the door. "I have a better idea."

*****************

An hour later, Michelle was speeding down the highway as a single tear rolled down her face.

Although she had wanted to stay around, she realized that events had moved faster than she thought. She had briefly thought about taking Tina with her, but there were four of them, with obvious re-enforcement's on the way. Had Tina been in a fit state to travel, Michelle might have attempted it, despite the long odds. But with Tina still in a bad way, Michelle was forced to concede that she was now in their hands.

Michelle felt a mixture of emotions. She was pleased that Tina would finally receive the help she needed. Michelle no longer feared for Tina's life.

However, her feelings were slowly turning to anguish at Tina's long term plight. She noted that Tina would be unconscious for the next week, which bought Michelle a little time. Although Tina had reassured Michelle that the Falcons would not hurt Tina, Michelle wasn't completely convinced.

Michelle knew that the situation had significantly moved on and that what Tina said couldn't be taken for granted. The Falcons might try to force Tina to reveal where Michelle was heading, or Tina may be forced into revealing Michelle's secret.

Although Michelle had complete trust that Tina would never do such a thing willingly, she was also aware that the Falcons may become increasingly desperate and might also use various methods to extract the information they required.

However, Michelle knew that she had a week with which to formulate a plan. She wondered what she could do in that week. She felt a longing desire to turn and drive to New Jersey and home. She wanted to run into her parent's house and throw her arms around them.

Her anger at the way the Falcons had harmed Tina, also left her with the feeling that she should go back, with all guns blazing, use her powers to the fullest effect, grab Tina and ride off into the sunset with her.

At that point, Michelle cursed herself for not finding out whether her powers could be used offensively against another witch. That was one of the many things that Tina had briefly discussed as they started their journey earlier and Tina promised that they would perform a quick experiment later in the day to find out.

But Michelle was no wiser. If her powers couldn't be used against another witch, then going back now, without a plan would be virtual suicide for her. If they were prepared to do what they did to Tina, it showed that their attitude to Michelle had hardened. They would be certain to kill her.

Michelle was forced to realize that the only viable plan she had left was to travel to Las Vegas all on her own and retrieve her money. Even after Michelle freed Tina, they would still need money. A round trip car journey would take approximately a week, which was exactly how long Tina would be incapacitated.

*****************

Tina was lying in a barn; her body still racked in pain. She didn't remember much. In fact, the whole day was a complete haze. She could remember escaping with Michelle yesterday and making love to her last night. She could briefly remember waking up with Michelle, but everything became hazy after that point.

She had no idea how she ended up in barn in the middle of a field.  After thinking, she guessed that the Falcons must have found them, used a power stone on her and somehow Michelle and Tina became separated.

Tina guessed that it must have been a very hard decision for her to make, but she realized that Michelle had little choice. Her life would have been in grave danger had she remained.

What Tina couldn't work out, was why she had only been knocked out for a few hours? She had checked her watch and unless she was mistaken, it was the morning after Michelle and Tina ran away.

A power stone attack usually leaves the victim in a coma for at least a day and anything up to a week if the victim fights the attack. The only conclusion that Tina could reach was that something had gone wrong with the power stone attack, causing her to be only unconscious for a few hours.

Her thoughts turned to Michelle. She tried to remember where Michelle might be going. Surely they would have made arrangements to meet up in case they were separated, but Tina's memory was too hazed to remember.

But oddly enough, Tina knew deep down that Michelle could take care of herself. She couldn't work it out because Michelle was now a helpless female, but some part of her was telling her that Michelle was more than capable of looking after herself.

All the same, she also felt the Michelle was heading into grave danger, which even she couldn't handle alone.

Tina now began to wonder why the Falcons hadn't been able to track her down. An attack from a power stone magically illuminates the victim, allowing them to be easily tracked down, which was why it was very difficult to ever leave the group. Tina had been expecting them to turn up any minute, but so far nothing.

*****************

Michelle found that her face was impossible to keep dry. She had quickly crossed into Pennsylvania and had continued on the route that she had planned to go to Las Vegas.

At each exit, she literally had to grip the steering wheel hard and grit her teeth to avoid turning back to Tina or to turn toward New Jersey.

Although her heart was almost tearing her to go back, Michelle knew that such a tactic would be virtual suicide. Even if her powers could affect other witches, she realized that she was still only one person. She was hopelessly outnumbered.

Michelle glanced over to the empty seat beside her, that should have contained Tina. As well as an empty passenger seat, Michelle felt a huge void inside her soul as if a part of her had been ripped away. Last night, when they made love, Tina had taken a small piece of Michelle with her and now that piece was missing from Michelle.

Earlier today, for the brief period of half an hour, Michelle had felt complete. She had finally revealed her secret to someone that understood. Even being a woman didn't seem so bad in Tina's company.

But her euphoric feeling was now shattered. Again, she looked down at her gorgeous body and felt a feeling of disgust that this body had caused her so much pain in such a short time.

As she drove onwards, Michelle vowed that she would never abandon Tina, because at that point, Tina was all she had to live for. She had lost everything and everyone else. If she couldn't be with Tina, then Michelle didn't think there was much point in carrying on. She would travel to Las Vegas, retrieve her money, then return and attempt to free Tina. Michelle worked out that in the time it would take for her to get to Vegas and back, Tina would awaken from her deep sleep.

Michelle would then use any method at her disposal to free Tina and if anyone got in her way, she wouldn't hesitate in hurting them. They could then be together again. In their short time together, Michelle never said one particular thing to Tina. Although she had only known Tina for three short months, most of which had been over the phone and the Internet, Michelle only now, realized how much she loved Tina.

As she attempted to overtake another car, she checked all of her mirrors several times, for signs of pursuit. She hated this feeling of intense paranoia, but she knew that it was a feeling she would simply have to get used to.

*****************

Sarah was waiting at the rendezvous point, when Hank and Mary returned several hours later.

"So What happened?" Sarah asked.

"We couldn't find them," Mary replied.

"What?" Sarah said shocked. Although using the power stone hadn't gone according to plan, she thought that their capture would still be a formality.

"Nope. Can't track them either. They got away," Hank said.

"What about Monica's cellphone?" Sarah asked.

"They switched cars earlier today. We found her car at some motel where they stayed. Monica's phone is still in there, stuffed down the side of the seat. They probably never even knew it was there."

Sarah sighed heavily at the news, before saying, "Oh, well, let me know anything else." They both nodded. Sarah then turned around. Mary walked after her to provide some comfort.

Hank waited until Sarah and Mary were out of hearing range and then she turned to his associate and said, "Are the arrangements made."

"Yep. Apart from the us four at the hospital, no-one knows that we even found Tina. We've adjusted the memories of the nurses and doctors at the hospital. It was a kludge doing all those memories, but it should work as long as it isn't questioned too much."

"Where's Tina now?" Hank asked.

"Still in that barn, where we put here. Are you sure no one else will be able to track Tina?"

"Yes," Hank replied. "As long as we know exactly where Tina is, I can divert the other search teams away from her so they don't pick her up," Hank said. "Are the two guys are up to the job of tracking Tina?" Mary asked.

"Yeah. Now that they've "locked onto" her, they shouldn't have a problem. They'll track Tina right up until she meets Michelle. Then they'll deal with the problem," he said smugly.

Hank nodded his approval, then the man turned and walked away. Hank then returned to his car and sat down to consider what he had done. He fully understood that others had cast him as an evil maniac because he called for Michelle's sacrifice. Instead, he thought of himself as a realist. He genuinely believed that what he was doing, was for the good of their group.

He pondered over what had happened at the hospital. After he realized that his main target, Michelle, had left, it occurred to him that Tina and Michelle must have arranged a rendezvous point somewhere, or at the very least, Tina would have known where they were heading.

Then one of his men reported that Tina was showing signs of emerging from her coma and with a little help could be brought out quickly. Although the usual knockout time was a week, Hank guessed that because Tina had been on the limits of the range of the power stone, her coma would be considerably shorter.

Hank was then faced with a tough decision. He knew that Tina would never reveal to him where Michelle was heading. Even Hank was aware that Tina could be a stubborn bitch when the wanted to be and if he tried to force any information out of her, she could easily call for help magically.

Then, a point of brilliance hit him. They removed Tina from the hospital, then placed her in a remote barn. Two of his men were now discreetly tracking her.

He genuinely felt sorry for both Michelle and Tina. Deep down, he felt that they probably didn't deserve what he had planned for them, but none of that mattered. The only priority on his mind was the welfare of the group. He felt passionately about his group and he would do anything to protect their interest, including the sacrifice of one of it's members.

After all, it wasn't the first time he had to do it. Unknown to everyone else, he had to sacrifice one of the Falcons twenty years ago to secure the help of the Eagle's to prevent them from being wiped out. He smiled gently in the irony. That person had been Tina's father and now, twenty years later, her family line would have to grieve again in order for the rest of the group to survive.

*****************

Tina was walking along the highway into the town ahead of her. It had been an hour since she woke up in the barn and there was still no sign of the Falcons or Michelle. Seeing a small town in the distance, Tina decided to set about walking there.

Her state of concern was starting to turn into panic. She had soon discovered that her powers were completely gone. She guessed that she had used up her last reserves of magic to fight off the power stone's effects. She could no longer cast a single spell. It would be weeks; months even before her powers returned in full.

Tina really needed her powers. Without them, she was useless. But she didn't only need them for herself; she needed them to protect Michelle.

Her panic started settling into a deep-seated fear that Tina had never felt before. Ever since being an adult, she had always had some amount of magical power to call upon, which guaranteed her safety. Now she was completely helpless and worse, she had no idea where Michelle was.
 

End of part Two.
 
 

As I said at the start, I have no plans to complete this story. From the very start, it was envisaged that the story would be three to four parts long. Because I have had to stop writing, I do not know when (or even if) I will complete the story, sorry.
