After what feels like hours I just can't walk any further, my feet are killing me! I just stop and sit down right there, I take off my wet shoes and socks and set them beside me, I want to keep going, but I just need a small break...
I don't know what time is, I don't know if Mephisto is worried and trying to find me, I don't even know if Amaimon is here yet.
I feel small and helpless, my ankle is aching from the coldness of the water and walking so much, and I have no idea if I've covered even half of the land I'm supposed to. I pull my marker out of my pocket, I make a small flower on the back of my hand. I wish I could tell if Amaimon has looked at my drawings, at least then I would know he's okay.
I want to sit longer, but I have to keep looking so I make myself stand up, I decide to just carry my shoes, the grass tickles my feet as I walk.
I hear an odd whistling and stop to look around.
"Y/n!" It's Egyn, he is jumping up and down trying to spot me.
"Here!" I shout back at him.
"I found him!"
It takes me a moment to register what he says before I take off sprinting towards him gripping my shoes tightly. I run through the stream this time not even feeling the icy water.
I nearly run into him, I catch myself at the last second.
"He's over there sitting in a tree, I figured you'd want to talk to him so I didn't say anything," he smiles a little seeing how relieved I look.
"Thank you!" I grin and hug Egyn not knowing how else to express my gratitude.
It must shock him, he looks rather surprised when I let him go.
He's smiling more now, "I'll wait here for ya alright?"
"Yes thank you!" I sprint to the tree, well what I think is the right tree, my heart feels as if it's going to pop from my chest.
When I finally reach a point where I'm close enough that I can make his outline out in the tree I'm out of breath, and panting worse than a dog after a run.
"Amaimon!" I yell as I approach the tree not knowing what to expect, holding onto a hope he won't be mad.
He hangs upside down from a branch, he stares at me for what feels like forever before he jumps down and just stands there still looking at me expressionless.
He doesn't say anything to me as I run up to him as fast as I can, I don't bother asking why I just throw my arms around him thanking Satan that I've found him.
"Why did you run off?" I ask as I let him go and finally can think straight.
He frowns ignoring my question, "y/n you're in Gehenna."
"Yeah, I am because of you," I smile and shove him playfully, "please tell me why you ran away..?"
"I would've been sent here anyway," he mumbles poking my face, "I prefer to not be ordered around."
"You didn't do anything wrong though," I shake my head at him, "you put my parents in the hospital sure, and maybe they don't want to see me ever again, but you didn't have to leave without telling anyone why or where you were going."
"I assumed you wouldn't want me around anymore," he shrugs looking down slightly, I think he might actually feel bad for leaving me so worried...
"Have you not even looked at my drawings and things I've been doing?"
"Yes I have," he nods slowly.
"Then why didn't you come back.....?" I sigh feeling a little angry though I do wish I didn't.
He shrugs again, avoiding my question by asking a different one, "why are you in Gehenna?"
"To find you," I groan I thought it would be pretty obvious, "I've been looking everywhere for you literally!"
He frowns, "why?"
"Why?!" I shout letting my frustrations out, "because I care, because I thought you might be dead, because I couldn't stand the idea of not having you with me..."
"My brother didn't send you here then...?" He mumbles quietly.
"Yes he sent me here, I wouldn't have been able to get here without him," I rub my face trying to calm myself back down.
"You are only here because of him aren't you?" He looks me over somewhat annoyed, "he told you to say that didn't he? So I go back and get in trouble..."
"Amaimon he didn't want me to come," I look down embarrassed, "I nearly begged him to come let me find you."
He remains silent, I feel him staring at me though, I feel as if he can see right through me.
Egyn walks up to us shaking his head, "brother you should just accept the pretty girl wanted to find you."
Amaimon tilts his head at me, "You know Egyn?"
"Well we ran into each other, and he said you'd probably be here so," I flash a small smile at Egyn.
"I want you to meet someone," Amaimon glances behind him, "Behemoth come."
I frown as an odd colored goblin comes charging towards us, he has a harness of sorts around his face, I crouch down, he stops in front of my letting me pet him.
"That's behemoth," Amaimon hooks a chain to the harness.
Egyn takes a cautious step back, "I was never fond of your pet."
I giggle feeling more comfortable than I have in awhile, "awe he's just a little cutie."
"Not usually," Egyn pretends to shiver in fear.
"Amaimon is he coming back with us?" I glance at him.
"Coming back?" He frowns staring at me.
"Yeah to the school, wait you are coming back aren't you?" A twinge of fear creeps through me, what am I going to do if he says no....?
He looks away from me, I feel my heart tighten up in my chest, "you have to come home..."
"That place is not my home," he mumbles angrily, "all I do is get in trouble there."
"It is your home," I scratch Behemoth closing my eyes, "I will drag you with me if I have to."
Egyn chuckles quietly watching us, I'm sure to him this must be quite a show.
"I'll only be sent back here, so why should I?"
Egyn looks at Amaimon with wide eyes, "you mean to tell me, you have a girl here who not only is your soulmate, but actually gives a damn about you and you're not gonna go with her?"
I feel my cheeks heating up, "Please...?"
"You won't be able to change Mephisto's mind," he sighs, but at least he must be thinking about it.
"Yes I will, and I'm sure he's worried sick right now that I died so we should probably get going before he shows up and we both get in trouble," I can't help but to laugh a little at the thought.
"Can I still stay with you?" Amaimon mumbles.
"That's has to be the stupidest question you've asked me yet," I smile at him, it feels as if a weight has been lifted off of me.
"How are you getting back to Assiah?" Egyn asks curiously.
"That is a really great question," I try to remember what Mephisto told me, but come up with only blanks.
"I'm sure he'll come looking for you eventually," Egyn shrugs chuckling a little.
"Yeah that's true," I shrug looking at Amaimon, "Guess we're stuck here for a bit longer or at least until I remember."
Amaimon just nods a far away look in his eyes, Egyn frowns for a moment looking at him.
"Well I suppose I'll leave you two alone," Egyn smirks nudging me, "If you need me I'll be lurking around as usual." He spins on his heels and starts to walk off in the direction we came from.
Egyn wasn't as bad as I thought he would be at first, in fact he was pretty cool I am glad he is the one I ran into.
"Amaimon," I wave my hand in front of his face, "You alright?"
"I suppose so yes," he pushes my hand away.
"You're lying and I know it," I frown poking him, "what's wrong."
"I broke you're parents."
"We already talked about this, it's not your fault," I giggle a little, "plus it's not really that bad."
"It could have been you," he mumbles looking at me.
I think about that for a moment, me laying in a hospital bed because I made Amaimon mad, I don't know how I'd feel then, maybe the same or maybe not.
All I know is that he didn't hurt me when he could've, and my parents were being jerks even if they are my parents.
He sighs when I don't say anything and starts to walk towards the stream, I grab his hand as I catch up with him.
"Listen, I don't know what things would be like if it was me in the hospital right now, but I'm not," I squeeze his hand gently, "I'm here, and I came all the way just to find you."
He stops walking glancing at me oddly.
I take a deep breath, "and I would really miss you if you didn't come home with me, because this whole soulmate business is actually starting to mean something to me the more time I spend with you."
My insides feel all jumbly and I know for a fact my face is as red as a tomato, but I don't want to leave here without him.
Will I regret it later, oh yeah probably, I expect him to say something, but he doesn't he just leads me over to the stream and sits down.
I feel like that was a bad idea since he isn't talking, maybe that's not what he wanted to hear....
I look at the flowers around me, I want to pick them to make a flower crown, yet I feel as though it would be an insult to this place to use its flowers for something so childish, I crouch down by the water instead, it's so clear. I stick my hand in the water to see if it's cold, surprisingly it feels like it's almost warm. Amaimon stares at me his head tilted, "Y/n I'll go home with you, even if I get in trouble."
I smile up at him, "really?"
He nods, I suppose that's as close I'm gonna get to hearing I matter to him for now, it works for me, at least he's coming home, that was my purpose of coming here.
I'm feeling rather playful at the moment so I splash him with a handful of water.
He makes a small growling noise and looks at me annoyed.
"Come on you were fine with it in the fountain," I giggle splashing him again.
He shakes his head and shoves me in the stream, I yelp as I hit the water.
He starts to laugh as I crawl back onto dry land, I'm dripping wet so what better to do than to give Amaimon a bear hug, I tackle him and make him fall over into the flowers, I hug him tightly and shake my head making sure to get him as wet as possible.
He growls and tries to shove me off, eventually though he gives up and just lays there.
I laugh letting him go and getting up, his eyes narrow, he sits up and brushes himself off. I feel edgy as if he's going to do something, I take a few steps away from the water and him, he watches me closely.
In an instant I go from standing on the grass, to be tackled into the water, Amaimon is straddled over me and pinning my hands to the stream bottom, the water rushes over my face. I hold my breath not daring to swallow any of the water, Amaimon doesn't seem to know what to do now, but he's staring at me still looking ticked off.
He allows me to lift my head out of the water to breath, I can't help but laugh though really I'm in no position to, he shakes his head and starts to smirk.
He lifts me out of the water and swings me over his shoulder carefully, I don't know what he's doing, but I don't have a choice except to go with it. He starts to walk across the garden towards a thicket of trees, I frown staying silent.
He stops when we reach a large tree and jumps onto a branch his grip tightening on me as he does so. He doesn't stop climbing until we've reached the top branch, he sets me down on the branch and stares at me.
I clench my eyes shut, I'm usually not so afraid of heights, I suppose when you're in a tree waving with the wind it's different though.
"Open your eyes y/n," I feel him poking my face.
"Do I gotta?" I mumble.
"Yes."
I slowly open my eyes holding on to the branch so tightly my knuckles turn white, as soon as I look around any fear I had melts away, the whole garden is visible from here, it's stunning. It's like a perfect painting in an art museum, something people would stare at for hours and not even know it.
"Wow...." I utter still in the gardens trance.
"Do you like it?" He tilts his head.
"Like it? That doesn't even begin to describe it, I freaking love it!"
He smiles to himself looking at his boots, "I thought you might."
"So you really weren't annoyed were you?" I snicker jabbing his side.
"Yes I was at first, but you made me forget I was," he frowns looking serious again.
"Oh really?" I giggle, sometimes he can be so idiotic.
"How did you do that?" He looks at me and for a split second the thought goes through my head that I could kiss him.
"It's my specialty," I laugh and shove him instead, he shifts around until he's hanging upside down, I hope he doesn't do something stupid.
"Y/n what would you do for me?"
I frown not really understanding, "what do you mean?"
"What would you be willing to do for me?"
"Uh I don't know," I mumble awkwardly confused, "I came here does that count?"
"Yes it does, but what else would you do?" I can hear a change in his tone though I'm not sure what it is, "Are you willing to trust me?"
"I already do trust you," I admit to both myself and him.
I feel myself being shoved, I don't have time to do anything, and honestly what could I do I'm in a tree, or rather was. I let out a shriek as I feel the air pulling me toward the ground, all I can hope is that Amaimon knows how much I trust him because I'm not going to try to stop myself from hitting the ground, not that I could anyway.
I just have to hope he knows how easily humans can break......
