Summary:Â After Saraâs father died, she felt sad and alone, the darkness was growing inside her again, until Rip comes back from âdeathâ to save her again from the darkness.
A lot of feelings were spinning around in my head; I donât know how to explain it. First, I saw my dead sister again; my sister from another planet, and then the cops took Ollie away. In that same moment, I realized that my father was dead.
With Earth 2 Laurel, I went to see my dad one last time, and I broke in tears and sadness.
Maybe if I stayed here in Star City, maybe if I never left, my sister and my father would be alive. I left with the idea that I have a home to return to here in Star City, but now I have nothing.
I couldnât go back to the Waverider like this, so I walked away from the hospital and went to my old house. It was a bad idea, but I just want to remember how my life was before all of this.
The first thing I saw when I came inside the house was a picture of me with dad and Laurel, happy, like we should be. I started walking around, feeling all the memories coming to my mind and breaking my heart even more. I couldnât resist the tears anymore, so I let them fall just like I fell to the floor, sobbing.
âPlease, make it stop, make the pain stopâ I said believing that Laurel would come to me and hug me; she always did that when I was sad, and dad always joined the hug seconds after.
I heard steps outside; I stood up and wipe my tears away, pretending that nothing happened. Â I thought I was going to find myself with Earth 2 Laurel, but when I turn around, I saw the face I never thought I would see ever again.
âSara?â he said looking at me with deep eyesâ
âRip?â I said his name with surprise.
âI heard what happened and I⊠Iâm so sorry Saraâ
âHow are you here? You died in hands of Mallusâ
âDid you saw my body? For a time traveler, you should know that anything is possible with time travelâ
âYou faked your death?â
âWell, that wasnât the point but yes, I think I did. I thought I was gonna die but when I opened my eyes I was on another era, apparently instead of dying I traveledâ the tears appeared again, I wanted to hug him so much but at the same time I wanted to stay strong.
âSo you left us, again? You left us again with the idea of you being dead? You left me when I needed you the most!â
âBut you did it anyways!â the sobs were coming out of my mouth again âYou said you care for us, you said you cared about me, and it was all a lieâ
âI risked my life because I care about the legends, especially about youâ
âAnd caring is leaving someone in a critical moment? If you havenât notice, Iâm in hell again. I was happy because we finally defeated Mallus but sad because your death, and then I come to Star City and I found out that my dad is dead, just like my sister. I donât have anything! I lost everything!â I sat in the couch and I let myself cry again, and Rip got on his knees in front of me, just like he did when I was broken after Laurelâs death.
âListen to me Sara. I donât know how many times I told you this, but you are the strongest people Iâve ever meet. You have been through everything, to hell and back, and youâre still hereâ
âWhatâs the point of being here, without a family?â
âYou have a family Sara; the legends are your family. Yes, I know what itâs like to miss your real family, but you have them. When I recruited all of you, I found happiness again; I found a new family to fight forâ
âIn some point, Iâm going to lose them too, just like I lost youâ
âIâm here Sara, youâll never lose meâ I looked at him, his eyes told me that he was being honest. I closed my eyes, and I felt Rip wiping my tears slowly from my cheek, but I saw all the bad memories, since Lian Yu to my fatherâs death. I heard the cries and the screams, and I couldnât take it anymore.
âI canât do this, not againâ I said at the moment I opened my eyes. I went back to the Waverider, hearing Rip calling my name behind me, but I didnât care anymore.
I have to go to the place, where I can let all my darkness out.
