"Daniel....."

"Daniel..."

"Daniel...."

"Daniel!!"

Finally snapping back to reality, my gaze upon the seemingly endless body of water out in the distance as the rushing wind hits my face and my hair along with my clothes being ruffled and man handled. A sudden jolt of pain hit me, causing me to stumble forward as I grab my head with both hands, my eyes blurry and ears ringing. Then suddenly I heard it again, seemingly echoing in the distance as I regained my ability to hear. 

*My... Name.. Someone is calling my name..* 

I thought to myself before reopening my eyes and looking around trying to figure out where it's coming from, then I glanced at the edge of the cliff a few feet to my left, I saw fingers of a female's hand clinging onto the edge. Someone was holding on for their life. I begun to walk slowly towards the person, as with each step I take I'm reminded of the immense pain I'm in. Blood running down from my head, getting into my right eye before I close it, trying my best to ignore it as well as I get closer to the edge of the cliff. As I did so, I try to recall what had happened, why am I in so much pain. Then as I saw her, tears running down her cheeks, emerald eyes wide filled with life as if reflecting all the light that life had to give and staring up at me, immediately locking eyes with her I felt another jolt of pain hit me, this time in my chest, my breathing immediately became short and difficult. I fell down onto my knees as I try to grip my chest, but tightly holding onto my hoody at my chest region. Tears begun to spill uncontrollably, my emotions started to run wild and I had no idea how to response so I did the most instinctive thing my body would allow and I screamed out until my voice cracked. I begun to cough until I spat up blood, I grit my teeth and swallowed, then I looked down at the female. Her dark green, long and luscious hair being tossed back and forth by the wind as I tried to look pass her and noticed the long fall to the rocky shore along with the high tide. She would definitely die mid fall, then her body would splattered and scattered after hitting the rocks below, then swept away by the raging waters.

"Wake up!!"

The female shouted out bringing me back to reality once more, still I had no memory of how we got here, who she is or even who exactly I am. Nonetheless, she seems to have all the answers, or maybe she is the one who caused me all this pain. However, the pain in my chest doesn't seem to be caused by any physical damage. It's odd, it hurts but yet it doesn't.. It makes me happy and angry at the same time.. I ball my right hand up into a fist and slams it down into the ground. Then I take a deep breath, held it in before exhaling and looking the female into her eyes. 

Looking up at him, the life in his icy blue eyes were back..

 He finally regained his composure. "Took you long enough..." I told him cheekily with a smirk, clearly he was broken, but he did his best to recollect himself and calm down. That's one of the many things I admired about him, his cool demeaner, his icy personality and his chilled head. Everything about him was cold, but so gentle, so kind, caring, understanding and.. Loving. Yet, he's on his knees, gazing deeply into my eyes, I can't stop myself from blushing, I felt embarrassed. At this point he seemed, more broken than I am, has the lost wolf finally broke? "Pull my up... Please.." I begged, something I've learned from my time with him. How to express myself properly and appeal to others without being forceful. He reached his, shaking right hand out to me, immediately I grabbed onto it. His grip, not as firm as it usually was, but he was clearly doing his best to hold onto my arm with what little strength he had left. Then he tried to pull, but he couldn't.. He had no strength left, it was all in his grip on my arm. At this point, it seemed there would only be one outcome as it's clear he has no intentions of letting me go, and the little baring I had under the toes of my right foot was quickly giving away. If I dared to add any more pressure or lift my foot up, it would be gone and without it, there would be no support to keep me up and down I go.. Down we both go. Is this the end? 

"I.. I ca.." 

My grip was as firm as it could be, but not firm enough, regardless I have no intentions of letting her go... But even so I'm not even sure why. Why I can't I just let her go, why am I giving it my all to hold onto her? I try to speak, but forming words were difficult, yet I continued to try until, I did.. "I.. Can't.. Remember.." I told her... Bluntly, but as best as I could at this moment. "Who... Are... You?.. Who .. Am.... I?" The questions I needed the answer to the most.. Maybe that would trigger a memory or something. This feeling, I hate this feeling so much.. I can't put my finger on what it is exactly, but.. It feels all too familiar, like something I know all to well. My eyes widen as I hear her, shaky voice speak out so soft yet aloud as if she was saying it for the whole world to hear.

"I am your..." My sentence got cut short as the rock fell from under my toes from me getting worked up to answer his question. I begun to fall, but he kept his grip upon my arm and down he came as well, he tried to grab the cliff with his other hand but there was nothing to grip onto, down we go. My heart begun to pound, as if about to rip my chest open, then instinctively I pull him into me, hugging him as tight as I could, his head against my chest hoping he could hear and feel how hard my heart is beating for him. I gave up... I completely caved in and broke.. If this is it, then so be it, but I will make sure I tell Daniel how I feel before. I guess I'll die without even knowing who I am, maybe that's a good thing... This way I won't have any regrets, nothing to hold me back, nothing to live for and so nothing to fear dying too early. That's what I thought until, I felt the warm embrace of the female, the sound of her heart and that gentle beating against my head.

I closed my eyes, then suddenly I begun to see memories of her smiling, laughing, blushing, moments of sincere happiness... 


Then I heard her voice.
