I look around the empty dark room he has moved me to.
It's darker than the other one but I somehow find this one more comforting then the last.
I see something move in the corner and hear a whisper.
I can't quite make out what it said, but I can tell it's been trying to talk to me for awhile now.
I hear the door open and I see, once again the man with the green hair.
A small light flickers on giving him a perfect spot light.
I observe his features from inch to inch.
He's very pale, has a lot of tattoos & by the looks of it, he's wearing makeup.
"Don't."
I speak as I watch him move towards me.
He smirks.
"Who are you?"
I ask a bit nervous. He walks towards me and cuts the ropes that we're tied to my hands and feet.
He grabs my hand and guides me out of the room.
I feel his grip tighten on my wrist as we continue to walk through these dark halls.
As we reach a different room, I notice that it isn't a normal room.
It looks like a sewer.
We walk in and I look around the strange room.
I walk towards the edge and notice there is a pool filled with liquid at the very bottom.
I look over at him and notice he's staring at me.
He gently places his hand on the bottom of my face, moving his face closer to mine.
"Your choice Reyna."
He lets go and backs away.
I look behind me then back at him.
Im confused on what he means.
My choice.
My mind runs wild.
He continues to watch as I stare at the door behind him blankly.
I start running towards him, trying to push him out of the way.
He grabs my arms and pushes me off the edge.
"Ahh!"
I yell as I feel myself fall.
I lay my hands straight out waiting for this mysterious liquid to hit me.
I feel myself drop into the pool.
It's hard to swim up.
It burns, it's thick, I can't get out.
I feel myself  dying.
I feel myself giving up.
It happens.

He walks to the edge of the floor and waits to see if Reyna swims to the top. He quietly grows to himself, taking off his coat, jumping in for her.
He swims threw the acid, finding Reyna. He picks her up floating back to the top.
He admires her complexion, her pale skin.
He leans in and kisses her pulling away once he feel's her walking up.
Reyna takes a big breath, opening her eyes.
He throws his head back, laughing historically.
"This is it honey."
