Armin's POV
I woke up and made a decision... a hard decision. I gently shook Iris awake.
She rubbed her eyes. "Armin... what's up?"
"I...I'm going back to school." I stated, trying to sound confident.
"Aren't you in a dorm...?" She asked.
"I'm still paying for it, but I quit going to college around a month or two ago."
"Why??"
I hesitated."Just because I got really depressed... And because of you, I don't have to run anymore."
She got dressed and started breakfast as I got ready.
We sat down, I ate bacon, but she just stared at hers. "Is something wrong with your food?"
"No, just not hungry yet..."
"Iris. How old are you?"
"I'm.... eighteen."
"Do you want to go to school?"
She looked conflicted. "I don't know... I would but I don't remember anything about school.
I wrote down a sentence on a napkin. 'I love you.'
I held it up for her to see. "Can you read this?" I asked.
She stared at it for a long time. "I.... no.. I can't." She looked very sad now. I didn't like it.
"It's okay. I'll teach you."
Her face lit up "Really?" She beamed.
"Yeah, really." seeing her smile made me smile.
"Well, I'm off." I said, getting up and walking toward the door.
"Wait!" She said.
She jumped up and ran toward me, wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.
I wrapped my arms around her and laughed "You're lucky you're so light."
She looked at me, surprised for a second. And then she kissed me.. I couldn't help but smile.
She let herself down. "Okay... Have a good day..." She made a pouty face.
"I'll be back soon."
Iris' POV
It was so boring without Armin...so I only had myself. And that scared me. My mind wasn't getting better... I don't know my real age. The voice on my head told me to say that... I don't know what's going on. Who is this voice?
'Who are you' I asked inside my head.
'I am your destiny.' the voice said.
'Wha... What does that mean?'
no answer.
I sighed.
I wandered to the table... I picked up a piece of bacon and cringed.
Suddenly I heard a knock at the door.
I opened it slightly and saw three people dressed in black. I quickly ran away but they were faster. They took my arms, tied them up, and gagged me. The last thing I remember was a fist coming towards my face.
Armin's POV
I opened the door, ready to teach Iris how to read. I'd become so attached to her that I realized I missed her even though we'd only been apart a few hours.
Iris wasn't in my room or the kitchen... it was a dorm after all. Suddenly the phone rang as if on cue...
I began to worry, my heart beating as I picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Notice something missing?" a familiar voice asked. It was that guy who tried to rape Iris... Logan.
I heard a scream in the background.. it was Iris.
"You bastard! What have you done to her!? Don't you dare touch her!!!"
"Don't worry... we haven't yet. At least not inappropriately."
I heard a scream.
"I take that back..."
"Go to hell." I said and then hung up.
Did he say we?
There was more than one of them.... Iris...
I couldn't do anything. It made me so mad.
I called the police and told them the situation. They asked me to come there and explain in more detail.
I was gonna get Iris back. No matter what.
