I was shook out of the painful memories and came face to face with red eyes, for a split second there seemed to be concern showing in his eyes. Then it was gone. He stared me for a long time before turning away from me and started to walk around me, it seemed as if he had a lot of questions but didn’t know how to ask them. After walking around a bit more he stopped right in front of me again. “Who are you, what were you doing in that cage?”
I looked at him with in fear in eyes. “My name is Aki Hideko, I was born looking like this and that’s the reason why I was locked up in the cage for most of my life.” I lifted my head up to look at him only to be meet with a tearful face. This had made me confused, so many questions went  through my head at that moment. Why does he look up set? Did I say something upsetting? But even those questions didn't seem to help me as I continued to look up at his tearful face. Just like that he wiped his tears and stood up. He towered above me like a giant, and I was just a helpless human (funny how it seems like) even with my strange looks. He grabbed me by the arm and helped me up. "If that is true then why were you able to talk to that girl?" he asked me.
As if entranced by that question I actually started to think about it all. " I don't know how I am able to talk to her or why she would want to but.......!?!" In that moment I realized that the more I talked and stayed in this place she would get farther from me. I started to panic and look in every direction. The red eye man grew more and more confused.
"But, what?” he asked.
"I gotta find her, how do I get out of here?!”
With that he begun to realize what was happening he grabbed me by the hand and started to run off into the darkness.
"I know it's kind of late to introduce myself to you but my name is Kenta".
I stood there frozen in place unable to think straight but the one thing that was floating around in my head was that he didn't have her and if that's true then who did?
My thoughts were interrupted by Kenta as he pulled me again. But from all of this I was still lost and confused.
The one thing that scared me the most was, how I planned to Hikari and keep Kenta safe.
