"I think we are far enough" Bad panted out, leaning against a nearby wall, they had been dunning for several minutes now and were around two miles away from the prison, so the crowd started to scatter around.

"Now we just have to wait and lay low for a while until Angela gets Drista out" Abby added, looking around, they were still in the poor side of the city so they managed to blend in pretty easily, seeing that they only wore a shabby cloak.

After a few minutes passed to regain their breath, Abby noticed that something was off with Bad, he looked really pale, like if he was scared to death by something.

"Hey..." she softly called, placing a hand on his arm, her action making him jump "It's ok, no need to be so tense, i'm sure she'll do it without problems" she assured with a smile, but Bad shook his head "That's not what's worrying me" he mumbled, starting to fidget with his fingers.

"What is it then?"

"Do you remember why normal being can't enter our realm?" she nodded "Because they would be affected by the void magic, which will slowly corrupt their magic until they can't us it anymore, why?" she asked confused.

"Does.... will this concept... apply to Angela as well?" he asked worried, Abby smiled "No, she's not a normal being anymore, she's a ghost, it shouldn't apply to her"

"Shouldn't.... but not wouldn't...." he mumbled, still not convinced. Abby sighed, an idea sprouting in her mind "There's a library nearby, why don't we go there and see if there's some information about it?" she proposed, immediately brightening up Bad's expression "Yeah!"

Total time spent in the void: 3 hours.

"So... you're a ghost and... if i put this on... i'll become one too?" Drista asked, receiving a nod "It will only be for ten minutes, then you'll come back to normal, but in that time we need to leave this prison and head back to the portal" she explained, Angela could still see that she wasn't convinced about this.

"You don't have to worry, i'll protect you if something goes wrong, but if you keep the medallion on we both should be fine" she assured in a calm voice, giving her a soft smile.

"Thank you..."

"Angela"

"Thank you Angela... how... how's my brother?" she wanted to talk a bit before leaving, it was understandable, Dream did tell them that she was left alone for a very long time, so Angela didn't put any pressure on her.

"He's alright, he did some bad things but once you'll be back we'll settle things out together, i promise" she placed her back against the wall, knowing that this will take a while, but she wasn't in a hurry, since Drista told her that the guards only come twice a day, at lunch and in the evening to check if she was still there.

So she still had plenty of time.

They soon reached the library, it was a bit shabby, being in the poor side of the city, but still fairly furnished, so it hopefully had some books with the informations they were looking for.

"We need to hurry, it's almost 5 pm here, people will get suspicious if they see us still here in two hours" Bad nodded, quickly entering the building and heading towards the aisle which said 'overworld informations'.

It was dangerous for a demon to be spotted there, they could be considered traitors or people looking for troubles. But they didn't really have a choice, besides, it was less likely that someone would report them since it was a poor neighborhood.

"Alright, we split, the first one who finds something comes to look for the other" Abby instructed, the two soon parting ways and starting to look for the information they needed.

After about an hour of unsuccessful research, Abby found something, and quickly ran towards Bad, a worried expression flooding her face.

"We have a big problem" she said, her words instantly making Bad's smile disappear, she placed the book she had in hand on the table, opening it to a very specific page and showing it to him.

'Ghosts. They can enter the void realm without problems, but can't remain forever, for they, too, are affected by it's magic. They can have different levels of resistance depending on how strong is the regret that's keeping them together, if that regret disappears while they are in the void, they too, will disappear'

They exchanged a concerned look before keeping on reading.

'If the regret is something weak, like the want to do something for one last time, then they could survive 1-2 hours. If it's the love for someone, it could go up to 3 hours, if they have the wish to do something they never done before or see someone who they love but never got the chance to meet, then they could potentially survive up to a day, but it changed from every single individual person'

"Oh no..." Bad breathed out "Which... which one is Angela's?"

"I-i don't know... she said that she didn't feel any different when Techno told her again that he loved her... i don't know what her regret could possibly be..." he jumped to his feet "We need to go warn her! She's been here for too long!" Bad dashed out of the building, running at full speed towards the prison, soon getting tackled to the ground by Abby and dragged in a corner so to not be noticed.

"What are you doing you idiot?! How do you plan on warning her?! We can't go inside the prison! They'll kill us before we even manage to spot her!" she shouted angrily, of course she was just as worried as Bad was for Angela, but they couldn't simply barge in and hope to come out unscratched.

"We can't just stand here and do nothing! She's in danger!"

"I know that too! That's why we need to come up with a plan!" she gave a worried look at the prison "And fast"

"-And so i was like 'Heck no! I ain't gonna drink that!' but i ended up drinking it, cuz i needed to survive, but i did kick that guard in the balls though!" Angela chuckled, she had been talking to Drista for quite a while now and found out she was nothing like her brother.

He was very thoughtful on what he did and said, his decisions were thought through and smart, some would say he's a cold blood person. His sister on the other hand, she was the perfect opposite, someone who doesn't think before acting and said what they thought no matter what, a very eccentric warm blood.

She had been telling her about the first days she had spent here, humans normally wouldn't be able to survive in the void for more than a day, but since they made her drink a special potion, she survived just fine, only a bit weaker, but that didn't stop her from ranting about it.

"So they gave you a potion to make you survive?" she nodded "It tastes horrible, but if i don't take it then i start to feel tired at all time and then my chest hurts, so i guess i'll take the lesser of two evils" she said, Angela smiled, patting her head.

"Soon you won't have to worry about that, you'll be out in n-ugh!" she flinched, a hand flying to her head, feeling a sharp pain coming from it.

"Angela?" Drista called worried, seeing her friend in pain. But as soon as the pain came, it was gone "I'm fine, i guess all this stress must have given me a bit of a headache" she joked, leaning back on the wall "So how did that story end? Did you really kick that guard in the nuts?" she asked, making the girl giggle.

Total time spent in the void...

5 hours.
