"we'll, we've had fun, (name)." she says, standing up. "but i'm still mad about not being your first choice. i'm sorry to say that it's over now. ready easy, my love." she says, grabbing a knife.

i took in a sharp breath, becoming nervous as she started walking towards me again.

"i'll try to make this as painless as possible, just for you. because i love you." she said, stopping in front of me.

tears continued to fall down my face. i wanted to say goodbye to kurapika, killua, gon and leroio before she did this. i didn't want it to end without them by my side.

"darling, i hate it when you cry. it makes me sad. can't you see that i'm bringing you peace? once your gone, everything will be alright."

she bent over and wiped my tears away with her thumb.

"it'll be over in just a couple seconds. after that, everything will be alright."

she let go of my face, gripping the knife in her hand.

just before she could take a swing at me, the door shot open.

-kurapika's pov-

"how do you know?" leorio asked, looking over at me.

i held up the fabric in my hands.

"okay? elaborate."

"this is from the jacket i saw ivy wearing once. it has the strange pattern on it." i said, showing him the fabric. "the fabric must have torn when she walked up these steps. the railing is a bit old and sharp at some places." i said.

"but how do we know where this person is?" leorio asked.

"she works in a new cafe." i said, jumping up from the stairs. "we have to go before it's too late, leorio!" i shout, hoping i'm my car.

"wait for me!" the tall man shouts.

we pull into a parking space, dashing into the cafe.

"oh, hello. how can i-"

"where ivy?" i ask, almost shouting.

"i'm sorry, sir. she got sick today and couldn't come in." the woman says, feeling a bit threatened.

it was the same woman as before. her dark eyes stared straight into mine.

"where does she live!"

"we cannot five out information like that. it's an invasion of privacy." she says.

"damn it!" i curse, turning around to walk back to my car."

"what now, kurapika?" leorio asks, putting on his seatbelt.

"we go to the police and get them to find ivy's location." i sigh, pulling away from the cafe.

"right, good thinking." leorio smiles. "we're going to find (name). everything will be alright."

we sped through the city, making our way to the police department.

just like with the cafe, we dashed through the doors.
