______________________________________

You have been wandering around the underground city for three days, finding a place you can permanently stay.

    
Stopping to take breaks, only to eat or drink when needed and continue roaming again with the backpack placed over your shoulder. Inside there's few necessities you might need to survive and things that is very important to you.

You stopped into an crowded street. Merchants selling goods and trinkets left and right with an unfair and slightly fair amount of price to what they are selling, unseen thieves roaming around and residents passing through, some buying, some left no choice but to sit on the ground for the rest of their lives due to the infectious leg disease cruising all over the place.

You transferred your backpack into the front to stave off the thieves, gripping to its strap for dear life as you snatch your pocket knife into its compartment, being prepared is one important things to do just in case someone try to steal your valuables, atleast that what they thought you.

You looked around the area seeing an uninhabited area near the place you're currently standing at.

Walking towards it. You huffed as you sat on the cold concrete floor, relieved that you don't need to walk for hours and maybe days to find place meters away from people to stay anymore.

The backpack seemed to be light in weight. It was heavy before that caused you to worry, what would you do if the only memory of your family disappeared? you gulped removing the  lump in your throat and decided  to check it to see if something went missing.

A flow of relief surged through your body knowing that you lose nothing except food and water. Surmised that you'll have to go steal some if not you're just gonna starve to death.

You tucked your backpack in between your abdomen and hugged your knees, cuddling with it. Out off boredom you just stared at the busy crowd, meters away, observing their every movement for self entertainment.

As you observed more you noticed a certain ravennette staring at you, they had long hair and slightly curved body which you acknowledged them as a female, long lashes, gorgeous stormy grey eyes and pale exterior.

She was wearing a white dress that stops to her shin, a brown worn out leather shoes and a basket halfway filled hanging from her wrist.

The woman smiled at you, which you return with a nod showing that you acknowledged her. The woman stopped by a shop that sells bread and put it in the basket hanging from her arm.

You watched her do her thing, she moves gracefully and gentle. It reminds you of her,
Oh how you missed her hugs and the sweet moment you have together, but it was all in the past. 

You were reminiscing the memories you have with her, to notice the woman coming close to you.

"Hey there" said by the woman softly said, which made the thread cut you from your thoughts.  She was towering you as you are sitting on the ground.

You looked up,  scanning her. You noticed every detail of her, of how her eyes are more beautiful up close, her grey eyes reminded you of the skies when it's about to rain as it also has a indication of blue, smile that can bright up one forth of the underground, and raven locks that glimmer despite the place lacking sunlight.
