"Who's 'they'?" I asked, placing a hand on top of hers to try and comfort her.

"Please." Elizabeth cried out as a group of men began to tie her up. She fought them, struggling against their strong grip. "Please don't take me back there." She sobbed.

"Shut up." One of the men yelled, hitting her directly in her face.
I watched as Liz tried to shift, only for her magic not to work. She had some sort of collar on.. It looked to be dampening her power.

The men quickly loaded her into a van, despite her protests. Just as the doors were about to shut, she leapt forward; Her teeth sunk into the man under her, ripping his flesh clean off.

I watched in horror as she began to attack the others, one by one. Only for her to get shot in the head anyways.

With a gasp, I fell back. The voices were back again, but this time.. they weren't telling me to save her. "Kill them." They chanted. My breathing picked up as I moved backwards, trying so desperately to get away from them.

"Y/N." I could hear her but I couldn't see her. My vision wouldn't focus. My back hit the wall behind me, I had no where to go. I was trapped in both my mind and my home.

The scene of Elizabeth's death played through my head over and over, the voices getting louder and louder. "Stop." I cried. I needed them to stop. I thought they were gone, I thought it was over. I thought everything would be normal for once.

I felt a pressure on my knees, my body instinctively jolting back. "Amuri miu[my love]..." Her voice was soft, gentle. The pressure came back, and this time I didn't flinch; My body relaxed. "Darling, come back." She whispered, her hands moving take my own off of my ears. I hadn't even realized I'd done that. "You're okay.." She whispered, her lips pressing against my head. I felt her thumbs wipe stray tears from my cheeks, before she pulled me into her body.

My hands gripped her tight, afraid I'd fall back into the void if I didn't. "I'm sorry." I whispered, pressing myself further into her embrace.

Lilia gently took my face into her hands. "You have nothing to be sorry for." She stated, before pulling me back in. "You can't control when these visions come on." She was right, I couldn't control it.

I looked up at the group, everyone looking to me with sorrow; Everyone but Elizabeth. "What just happened?" Liz asked, a look of confusion plastered on her face.

I looked to her, looking away in shame. I had just made a fool of myself in front of someone new, again. "Y/N gets vision." Agatha, sensing my discomfort, responded. "They can be both a blessing and a curse sometimes." My visions were mostly a curse, sometimes I could save people but other times I couldn't.

I got up from the floor, and walked towards the door. "I need some air." I felt Lilia come after me, following me out of the house. Her arms wrapped around my body, her head pressed between my shoulder blades. "I'm gonna go fly around, you can join me if you want."

I turned around and began to transform, watching as Lilia's eyes scanned over me. I held my hand out, allowing her to make the decision. "I'd love to go fly with you." She said, placing her hand in mine.

I took her into my arms, holding her tight. "Ready?" I felt her nod against my chest, her grip tightening slightly. I shot up into the sky, taking a short trip around the city. I landed on a tall building, letting my girlfriend fall back to her feet.

"That was fun." She smiled up at me, turning to look at the scenery around her. The city looks different from high up. Everything looks smaller, the houses and the people. Something about it jsut calms me down.
