"Blaise," she whispers. "Blaise!" Blaise looks into her big blue eyes. "Blaise, don't die! Please!" she cries, sobs racking her entire body. Her blue eyes are glassy, and tears are streaming down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry," Blaise whispers, his voice barely audible. He smoothes her hair. "I'm sorry."

Blaise wakes up, gasping for air.

It was just a nightmare, calm down. Blaise thought. "Today is the day. As long as you don't mess up now..." he muttered to himself. Why do you care? It's not like working for this bastard is a good thing. And Skye... No, Skye is dead. He shook his head.This is just for Luke and Alice, Blaise reminded himself. There's no giving up now, you've come this far.

Blaise gets up and starts getting ready for the ceremony. He's graduating soldier's training today. He'll be a full-fledged member of Desmos' team now.

Now all he had to do was stand out, prove himself, and become Desmos' right hand man.

Blaise puts on his white ceremony form and finishes getting ready.

His once-bright blue-green eyes have become a matted color, with a gray tinge to them. His hair looked the same as always, but his face looked tired. He ran a hand through his hair.

Oh well. I better get going, I'm going to be late. Blaise thought.

Blaise walked out the door taking one look at the mirror that once held Skye.

The hallways were crowded.

I make my way backstage of the ceremony stage. There are about 15 people there.

Desmos' booming voice resounds through the whole auditorium.

"I would like to thank all the people who have come to celebrate the graduation ceremony of these people...."

Blaise sighed. This was going to be a long day.
