Water rolled down her body and she couldn't think of anything else but the fact that Ajax was staring at her with a smirk on his perfectly chiseled face and a coldness in gaze.

Her towel was getting tighter against her skin as she clutched it to her body.  Her nerves were sending traitorous shivers down her spine as she bit her lip, waiting for him to taunt her like he usually did.

How do I get past him without him grabbing me?

Calculating the length from the closed bathroom door behind her to the door to her bedroom, she lunged and made a run for it- nearly dropping her towel on the way.

"Where do you think you're going?"

She stopped dead in her tracks and slipped over the water that was starting to pool on the floor. "Y-yes Ajax?" Lumine started biting her fingers as he chewed on his lip thoughtfully. 

He walked towards her and she could practically feel his fingers on her skin already. A flush spread over her face as a shiver of anticipation danced over her body, she trembled waiting for him to grab her throat from behind like he usually did.

His footsteps got closer and she knew she had to run- where would she go? What would she find in the next room?

"Tsk tsk tsk little mouse, you can't hide for very long- I'll find you.."

His warning echoed in her brain as she sprinted as fast as she could to get a headstart before he found her, she remembered what had happened the last time he chased her, and she was still just as scared as she was eager.

She only wished she'd put on more clothes before she ran out into the cold, but she knew she would find a way to stay warm. All she had to do was find Paimon and Aether, and she would finally be safe... from him.
