I look at her sometimes
and wonder
Out of all the faces
in the world
how did I find
one that was so
perfect for me.

It's an overwhelming urge. Every fiber of my being yearns to be near her, I admit that I need her. In her innocent eyes there's a thousand stories. I can tell she's much more than what she lets on, so much more greater and capable of chaos which is why we were perfect for each other in a sense. In a few short moments she's made me feel everything. 
Theres so many things I have to say to her, my only fear is that I won't know where to start or even how. It's not everyday you fall in deep, especially if you're me. Love is foreign. My parents had it and were shamed and killed because of it.  I thought it was a business transaction, Sylvia and I spent years fucking each other and I felt nothing compared to her. Is it possible that this time is different? The bond of a soulmate may cause heightened feelings but aside from that I genuinely feel like a fit with her. So I'll do anything and everything to get her back.

Ploop.....ploop....ploop.....splash....
I jumped off the ledge the puddle below me splashing up on my boots. I sniffed the air for her scent but didn't catch wiff of anything similar to it. Just the smell of blood and bleach as I walked down the narrow tunnel that would eventually lead me to her. I thought of the worst as fear crept over my shoulder, hope only teasing me as I felt like I was feeling her presence at every turn. What if I found her and she was already lying in a pool of her own blood? What if I find her and she's to afraid to leave, she's crouched in a corner shaking and out of it? Beaten and battered and needing to be hospitalized and slipping into a coma? What if I can't save her? But maybe I will find her and she turns out to be perfectly fine. No scratches. No bruises. No scars. I take her home and make her safe in the safest way possible but then-- she stops loving me. Maybe that's too far. I find ear and she stops feeling what she feels for me.

Water trickled down the dark bricks that built these tunnels. The infrastructure unsafe for anyone to be living in. Stepping in the wrong places causes a loud echo to sound throughout the tunnels, so I needed to be careful and dodge the cameras watching and the guards pacing the floor. How anyone navigated through these tunnels was beyond my comprehension, there was no sign of navigational signs anywhere so my best bet was leaving marks along the walls to find my way back. Teleportation, maybe an option if my powers were undetectable here in Kistonia.

Thirty minutes into walking I finally caught her a whiff of her lovely scent. Intoxicatingly floating from one of tunnels, the scent of fear marinating around her. My heart skipped a beat, my stomach flipped two times as my hands began to feel clammy. As my mouth began to feel dry. All those fears and worries at the front of my mind so I can be prepared. I stepped into a dark corner to secure my safety before I slowly closed my eyes and concentrated to picture Akira in my mind. My eyebrows puckered in concentration, I could feel my eyes getting wet behind my closed lids.
