Louise looks to Becca.  "Well, should we get ourselves checked?  Unless you want to further explore this void?"

Well, anything we can do to expedite the process. I'm technically on a clock.

"Why don't you pull out our Fragments, then, Sara?"
“Hast thou not felt in forest gloom, as gloaming falls on dark-some dells, when comes a whisper, hum and hiss; savage growling sounds a-near, dazzling flashes around thee flicker, whirring waxes and fills thine ears: has thou not felt then grisly horrors that grip thee and hold thee?”

Sara: Um, all right...  Here I go...

Sara puts her hands on your chests and then reaches in.  It feels... very strange.

Sara: Huh?  Um, where is it...

Not quite as strange, however, as the feeling of someone rooting around inside you.

Sara: Umm, wait, let me try one at a time...

Sara pulls her hand out of Becca and pushes it into Loise.  It feel strange for both of you.

Sara: Oh!  Here's one!

With a sucking sound she pulls forth from Loise a hearty, handmade bow.

Sara: Okay...

Leaving the bow in Loise's hands, Sara sticks both of hers into Becca again.

Sara: Um, huh?  That's, is that it?  Weird...

With a similar sucking sound she pulls forth a mote of light.  It somewhat resembles the light in the pillar.

Sara: Huh?  Is this a Fragment?  It doesn't look quite right...

As Sara says that, the mote floats out of her hand and drifts over to the pillar.

Sara: Ah, wait!  Come back!

The mote vanishes into the pillar.  The light doesn't noticeably change.

Sara: Um... well... I don't think that was a Fragment anyways, so...
Sara: I think things are fine?  Um, anyways, we have this Fragment here, so!
Sara: Um... yeah.

I look at the pillar dubiously. "Was that...part of me?"

Sara: Huh, um...  I don't know...
Sara: I'm not sure what that was...  It felt like a Fragment, but...
Sara: I'm not sure...

"Wh- wait I didn't-. Ahh!". Louise wrenches her eyes shut, but it only serves to magnify her focus on the squirming hands inside of her. Her back arches forward, trying to prevent whatever she is pulling from coming out. She's sure she just lost a rib, or her spine, but when she opens her eyes, it's her cherished bow.

"Wh- how... How did you get my bow?".

After watching the other girl's... soul maybe? flow into the light, Louise steps back. 

"What ARE you?" she questions.

That light is definitely evil. And maybe this girl too...

[Wait, No, Come back! *memory floats to????*]

Sara: Huh?  Um, like I said...  I don't know...
Sara: Um, your bow, though, its.. um, your Fragment.
Sara: It must be really important to you...

Sara: Um... use it...
Sara: I... might be able to copy it?  I think..?
Sara: Um, take the Fragment part out of it...

"By 'use', do you mean 'use up'?  As in, this bow will no longer exist if it is used as a fragment?"

Sara: Um, no, not exactly...  I don't think...
Sara: But, um, if I used it for a Gate, um, I don't think it would be a bow anymore.

Louise stays quiet, as if she hadn't heard.

I look at Loise nervously. I'm kind of on a clock, here.

It suddenly occurs to me to check if my watch is working.

Not only is your watch ticking normally, but it appears to be 3:27 AM on 4/3/2015.  It would be nice if you knew what time/date it was before all this happened.

I blink. No medication, no clue how long it's been since my last dose.

Oh...dear.

"Well, Sara, if we don't use it for a Gate immediately, can we still use it later? We can always keep the option open without deciding on it right now, right?" I pause. "And you're sure I don't have one?"

Sara: Um, I don't know...  I looked, but that, um, light was the only thing I found...
Sara: And it, um, went into the pillar, so...
Sara: There might be other Fragments in the dark, but...  I don't know where...
Sara: Um, but yeah, I don't have to make a Gate now or anything...  I'm not really even sure what a Gate is...

Thoughts of he memories with the bow rush to mind.  Carving it and working with it.  Learning its pull and listening to the song of its string. 

So many memories.  Fixing this bow so many times.  practicing relentlessly.  this bow is a part of me.

Her grip on the bow tightens and her knuckles go white.  The wood feels like a part of her.  Like it belongs with her.  She pulls the string back, with more than a little frustration in her heart, and turns out into the darkness.  She pulls the string harder than she means and fires the bow.

Wherever we are, we have to get out of here.  That's most important.  I'm sorry... friend.  She tosses the bow to the strange girl.

"Do whatever you need to to that piece of junk.  Don't bother copying it or anything, it's not like I can't just make something better."
