Before Dark

Hesitation

Kyouhei's POV

"So then Kyouhei, shall I show you...who I really am?"

I don't know...if it's alright for me to know or if I should...but I need to know.

Who are you Amaya?

What are you?

"You asked me earlier if I was human didn't you?"

I nodded my head in agreement.

"I was...or at least I think I was."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Kyouhei. What I'm about to show you is for your eyes only, once you see this there's no turning back and you and I will seal a contract, a bond in which cannot be broken."

"What kind of contract?"

"You will help me achieve my ultimate goal." 

"You mean...to get your memories back, right?"

"No, it's something more than that..."

"What is it then?"

"I'll only tell once you agree."

The way she said it made me feel nervous and heavyhearted, I could tell that she was only putting on an intimidating facade but deep inside of her she was afraid. The look in her eyes were like those of a child in fear, her hands were shaking as a tear fell from her eyes. I didn't know what I was about to get myself into. 

"So? Are you up for it?"

I don't know why, but somehow I knew that what's going to happen from here on out might change my future and my opinion of everything, I had to choose my answer carefully. 

A contract. Though I had no idea what kind I knew it was going to be a big responsibility. Am I really ready for something like that? I knew I talked big about making vow to restore her memories even though I didn't know if I could do such a thing, and now, the thought of something bigger than that terrifies me.
