Xavier just had to get his way

"I shouldn't have let them separate us..... I...", Savannah's tears rolled uncontrollably as she painfully sobbed in Lorraine's arms. "Nadia..... Nadia.... She's gone because of me..."

"No", Lorraine disagreed with a shake of her head.

"Me... Because of me..... Nadia.... Annie... I should have protected her.... I should have helped her." Her heart ached when she remembered watching her friend go through a painful death right next to her and how those people treated them like animals.

They never helped even when she begged them to in her helpless state. What pained her more was the fact that her sister, Nadia must have died pitifully and helpless as Annie did. She must have felt alone and the last thing she saw must have been those cold hearted scientists! Savannah cried harder at this.

"Stop blaming yourself", Lorraine sniffled. "There was nothing you could have done about it."
