Please Don't Go (Book 1)

Mina and I stood in front of the door confused. We had all the shapes in the right place but it still isn't opening. I walked up and tapped the wall but nothing was hollow.

"Hey, Aizawa can you come here?" Mina called out.

I walked over to her and she pointed to the sphere.

"Something feels wrong here I'm not sure what though" she mumbled.

I looked at the wall closely examining it when it clicked.

"I think I got it now, I can see our mistake. The sphere is orange and the shapes have a brown and orange side. Maybe we should flip them so the orange part faces outward?" I sign and she nods.

"How didn't I realize!"

We pull the shapes back out and turn them around placing them back. The door makes a clicking sound and slides open. Mina squeals happily almost attacking me with a hug. She stops herself and apologizes.

We carefully step through the door and it closes behind us. Mina looks at me unsure if it's safe. I nearly gag from the strong smell of gasoline. Mina covers her nose with her shirt pointing at the walls.

"Why is there gasoline leaking from the walls?" She questioned.

I inhale, glancing around as my eyesight is enhanced. They zoom in on my surroundings and I notice slight sparking. I exhale as my scales travel up my arms and cover my entire body. I pull Mina into me and she yelps in surprise. I turn around wrapping my wings around her. I hear the ground sparking again as the hall erupts in flames.

Mina presses herself into me trembling in fear. I tighten my arms around her, moving my wings to completely cover her. The force of the flames on my back causes me to slightly lose concentration. Mina whimpers in pain and I bite my lip nervously.

The flames finally die down and I unwrap myself from Mina. I look down to see her ankle is badly burned. Healing a third-degree burn without leaving a scar will take too much energy.

Suddenly the walls start to move rather quickly. I quickly pick Mina up bridal style holding her securely. I run towards the door to see a large mathematical equation. Mina glances around at the walls closing in on us.

Nezu you evil bastard are you trying to kill us?

"W-we're not gonna make it! We're gonna die!" Mina said panicked.

I glanced at the equation for several seconds before finally solving it. The door slid open and I jumped through just as the walls behind us slammed together. Mina let out a shaky breath of relief. I glance around realizing it's pitch black in here. I can hear people in front of the door so we're lucky it's the last one.

Damnit Mina can't see me signing I have no choice.

"I'm sorry....it's my fault....you got hurt," I said quietly.

"No, it's not! If it wasn't for you I'd be dead. I don't blame you so don't feel responsible." She said immediately.

"I can still see...I can heal you...but we have to get past this door...... Do you trust me?"
