~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night Ji-Yeon couldn't sleep a wink. Her mind kept going back to the figure in that place. She wasn't sure if it had been used as a greenhouse, like the ones she had seen in countless history books, or just a random shelter. The questions circled back in her mind causing her more problems. Why was Ahri there? Who was with her? What had she promised? How was she a part of this? She cursed as she rolled over to her back and gazed at the ceiling.

As if that was any better. The more she stared at the darkness, the more her mind wondered. What if Ahri had been speaking with Wonho? Or any of the squad members? Forcing her eyes shut she tried to silence her mind. There was nothing going on. What she had seen was a simple misunderstanding. Letting out a sigh, she opened her eyes to the darkness. Clearly, her mind would not let this go.

She sat up and placed her bare feet on the floor. It was cold at first, but nothing she wasn't used to. Looking down at her dirty clothes, she rolled her eyes. How long where they going to let her walk around in these clothes. Perhaps, she could sneak out to Luna's place and borrow something from her?

The more she thought about it, the more it sounded like a good plan. However, her mind quickly reminded her of Vincent doing his nightly rounds.

"Does he even sleep?" She whispered to herself.

Taking another look at her clothes, she let out a sigh, grabbed her boots and headed out. She paused in the kitchen and looked out to the back. She wondered if that person was still there, or if they had left. Her mind told her to check, to be sure it wasn't Wonho. She forced the thought aside and walked out.

Just like every other night, the air was crisp and warm. A gentle breeze would rush by her pushing her hair to the front of her face. As she walked, the crunches from her boots echoed in the night. She cringed hoping it wasn't as loud as she thought. She pressed on, passing by the road that led to Luna's. She thought she wanted to get a change of clothes. She guessed her feet wanted something else.

It was quiet. She enjoyed it the most. There were no screaming people. No one trying to push their products down your throat. Lost Haven was everything Serenity wasn't. To her, it was freedom. Even though she felt comfortable there, there was still something tying her to Serenity. Ren. Her heart tugged at her inside. Why did it pain her to think of him?

Were they happy together? Would she be happy having a life with Ren? After all, he had promised that he would always be there for her. Thinking about him, brought new questions to life, and more fear. Kicking a rock to the side, she let out a soft sob. Her heart ached harder than before. Would he even come for her?

"OI,"

Ji-Yeon jolted with the sound. Turning quickly, she felt her eyes widen. Vincent stood a few feet behind her. Of all the people to find her, it had to be him. She watched as he came closer to her. His eyes looked fierce as did his face. As he got closer, she could feel her body tense.

"You're out awfully late," He said.

She stood frozen with fear gripping at her throat.

"Care to explain?" He demanded, "Or should I just lock you up?"

"I..." She murmured.

Her words were caught in her throat. All she needed to say was she needed some air and was on her way back. But the way Vincent toward over her intimidated her to no end. She felt helpless against him.
