Phana POV

Run. Run. Run. I have to move faster, I have to get to my Yo; I have to hurry. It was never meant to be this way; it should never be like this. I can't let anything happen to him. I have to get to Yo. I'm coming Yo, I'm coming.

It's cold. It's dark. I don't want to be here, I have to tell Yo. I can't breathe. It hurts to breathe. Everything is dark, I see the shimmering water as my body no longer moves, heavy, drifting slowly and everything is getting darker. I can't fight anymore, I can't stop. I can't go up.

Pha...Pha...wake up...

I'm sorry Yo...I couldn't tell you. I'm sorry. I'll come back Yo, I will find my way back to you. Wait for me Yo...I'll tell you again. I love you, My Wayo.

"Pha... wake up. Please..."

I sit up gasping for air; my body cold my vision blurred, it's hard to breathe. I hear the soft voice, I pull him close and hug him, he's here. He's here.

"Beloved...it was just a dream..."

It wasn't a dream; it was an old nightmare I could never wake up from until it was willing to let go, until now, until I heard Yo calling my name.

"I couldn't find you Yo..." I tell him gasping. "I kept running and running but I couldn't find you."

I can smell his unique scent filling my senses.

"I'm here..."

"And then it was dark and I couldn't breathe." I tell him. "Like I was in water...I tried but I couldn't go up..."

He tries to pull away but I clutch onto him, the fear from the nightmare still felt real. I hold him in my arms, he's really here, and he's with me. My breathing begins to calm as he holds me, his voice soft as he sings, is that a lullaby? I think I've heard it before.

++++

I open my eyes slowly when I feel cold; I don't see him in bed. Before I can call his name I hear his worried voice, he's talking to someone on the phone.

"It shouldn't be this way." He's pacing. "You never said this could happen..."

I hear a faint echo from the other side.

"No, it can't..."

I try to listen more, the voice on the other side becoming clearer.

"It is never a guarantee..." It's a woman's voice.

"He's remembering what happened when he..." Yo takes in deep breaths. "If this is the cost I don't need him to know anything..."

"Young Master this cannot always be controlled."

"I don't want to see him in pain, those memories...." Yo tells her.

"Wouldn't it be better if he remembers your past together?"

"No. Not if it means he remembers the end." Yo sounds near tears. "I lived lifetimes without him; I will willingly wait another until he can love me again. You have to stop it."

Lifetimes without him...That long Yo? It's not okay for you to bear that much pain Yo, I don't want you to.

"It's not your choice to make, Young Master. It must be his."
