Departure

(Planet Caorn- Jasimin Island)

(International Spaceport- Gate 014)

Gate 014 was very quiet. There were only two people sitting down patiently in the waiting area for a spacecraft to arrive.

One of the girls was a seven-foot-tall hybrid with golden eyes and four blade-like appendages jutting out of her back.

She wore a plain black dress and a pair of combat boots that matched her attire. 

The girl sitting next to her was a beautiful pale-skinned woman with gorgeous black hair and piercing green eyes.

She wore a simple pair of jeans and a navy-blue shirt. The two girls did not speak but their fingers were intertwined.

"You don't have to do this alone you know," Cleo whispered quietly as she leaned her head against Sophie's shoulder.

"Babe… I really want you with me but… I need to this by myself," Sophie replied softly as she gazed outside the window.
