Getting a witness (2)

"Yes Rain" she nodded, wiping her tear. "Florate is in trouble and needs your help out of it".

Rain looked alarmed, the thought Florate being in danger got her scared and even though she was mad at him right now she would never wish that any danger befalls him.

"What kind of danger" she asked immediately. "What happened?".

"It was yesterday, after your combat with Linthorn and injuries you sustained, he just couldn't wait till the end of our match before coming to see you. He so wanted to be by your side that a five minutes was just too long so he had to cut the time short".

"What do you mean by ""cut the time short""?" she asked expecting the worst right now but the tears flowing down Lilith cheeks and her silent sobs won't let her speak. "Talk to me Lilith! What did he do?" she was already running out of patience already and her curiosity was getting the best of her right now she brought her legs to the ground and walked up to Lilith. She was feeling better now and did not feel much pain trying to walk. So she took the advantage to show her how serious she was right now by standing up.

"Are you going to spill what you have to say Lilith or are you going to just stand there and make me punch the words out of your throat".

Lilith sniffed and wiped her tears a bit before finally speaking. "Florate's urge and eagerness to be with you caused him to make me help do something unthinkable".

"Cut the suspence Lilith and just speak. What did he make you do? Answer me!"

"He made me disqualify him Rain" she finally broke the ice which got Rain very surprise.

"What?"

"He made me disqualify him" she repeated. "He would have won the combat if he was not too impatient to see you so he let me win instead. He purposely let me take him off combat grounds and that was it. He did not care if that would drain his stats or if he would be demoted to a lower level for loosing a match so easily. He only cared about coming to see you, making sure that you were alright. And now, he has been figured out. It is now known to the grand sensei that he lost the match on purpose and he is now being detained in one of the digital rooms and you know very well Rain what is going to happen in the next three days if no faithful ranger testifies on his behalf. Please Rain... Let go of any anger you feel inside you and help Florate and I. We are in desperate need of your help. Please Rain, testify for Florate and save him and I. I beg of you".

At this point, tears were already flowing freely down Rain's cheeks and even as much as she tried to stop them, they would not heed. She felt very sad right now with what Lilith just said. All the anger she had felt inside her for Florate just melted away and all she could think of now was how Florate must be fairing. She fell to the bed again while the tears still flowed as Lilith stood there waiting for her reply but didn't see it forth coming as she looked out of it all and lost in her own world of unending tears.

"I will leave you think about it Rain" she said as she walked to her and patted her back a bit. "And I am very sure you would decide to save your boyfriend because you love him and your heart beats for him and no one else". At her last words, she sniffed hard and left Rain alone, closing the door firmly behind her.

Immediately she was gone, Rain broke the ever flowing tears into a loud cry of pain and agony. A very sad cry that she wished she could rest all her pain and bitterness in but it wasn't working. 'Her Florate got himself disqualified on purpose just to come see how she was fairing. How she be so mean to him earlier. Of she had any idea of the sacrifice he made for her, he would never had given it a thought that he might be cheating on her with Lilith.

How could she have been so stupid. She definitely overreacted and that has caused a fight between them right now. She was sure he must be mad at her for not trusting him and accusing him falsely. How would he ever forgive and understand that she only did what she did because Nexine had influenced her. Wait?! Why was she blaming innocent Nex. He only told her what he saw and how he interpretted, so she should not lay the blame on him because she decided for her self to go see if what he said was true. She was just being too emotional and acted on it instead of logic.

How she apologize to him right now. She really wishes he would forgive her but she was sure she had to make it up to him and one of the ways to do that is testifying for him. He was there when she needed him and therefore she must be there for him also as a good and grateful girlfriend.

At least that has been settled on uow she was going to make it up to him but it definitely won't be today. As much as she would not like him to spend another night in the digital room, she still had to get well first before going to get him out of there and that would be that for that.

And as for Lilith, she really did not know where to begin in apologizing to her. She had called her a slut and all kinds of ill names that were very obvious she wasn't. She did not know what got her to do all those things and now she actually regrets it. She was not even aware now of how to prove that she was very sorry and did not mean all the ill things she said to her yesterday.

She now realized how bad messed up by her actions yesterday and blaims no one for them as she decides to take full responsibility of them all. She angering Lilith beyond boundaries and harassing her with curse names and she accusing her most lovable boyfriend for cheating when it has be er been heard of that he did so.

She was going to correct all her wrong and make everything right. That was the only good thing she would do now at least after getting better.
