(Ash's POV)

"(Y/N)..." I whispered, as I put Leila to bed, well, Abigail's already in the couch... sleeping... "What?", I held her hand... and teleported to the empty, snowy area, knowing that everyone is asleep... "(Y/N)... let me ask you a question... is that alright?" I asked, "Yes. Anything." she replied, "do.. you think that... NATURALS are responsible... for this great, deadly battle... that happened on the SURFACE...?" I asked, "No..." she then replied, "please... be honest..." I answered in a low voice... "Ash..." I turned her SOUL into red, and slammed her in a tree, "JUST ANSWER ME WITH HONESTY!" I yelled at her, giving her SOUL a tight grip, "If you think that NATURALS are not the cause, then WHO?!" I asked angrily, "Ash... s-stop..." she pleaded, "I WANT TO KNOW!" I started to cry, tears gathered in the corners of my eyes, "I know what your sister is planning!" I cried, "She wants to KILL EVERYONE, does she?! This is just because of that  ghost who tells her about this. For the EXP, for LOVE and her own pleasure!" I weakened the grip of her SOUL, "Get up..." she tried standing up, she felt numb, tears flowed endlessly like waterfalls, "GET UP!" I kicked her to the side, she then grinned, stood up, her (E/C) eyes turned green, feeling hurt "WHAT IN THE WORLD, ASH! WHAT IN THE WORLD THAT SOMETHING HAS TO DO WITH ME!?" she said, I widened my eyes, "Don't you even notice that I've had NO PARENTS that took care of ME?!" she then said, with tears falling from her eyes, to her cheek, then into the snow, "I've always wanted TRUE LOVE from ANYONE, NOT EVEN A SINGLE NATURAL COULD HELP ME! ALL THIS FIGHTING OF MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN STRESSING ME OUT, I HAVE BEEN TIRED OF THIS LIFE, They think I'm a useless, stubborn, little poor woman who would just warder all around feeling useless!" her voice cracked... making me fall back, I could hear her SOUL, breaking, "(Y/N), look I--", "That's IT! I'm done! I'll get you out of this mind!" she left, her mouth trembling, then she popped something, ate it, then she teleported-- wait, what?! Oh no... what did I do!?

I ran to the house to wake up Abigail, "Kid, Kid! Lend me your sister's phone number, please!" I whisper-shouted, for Leila will hear my voice, "Why? You like her, do you. Also, her cell phone's jammed anyway, how can you call her?" she said, "Shh, Leila's asleep, take care not to wake her up. And I know there's another phone in her pocket." I said, looking at the door, feeling worried, then she got a piece of paper, then scribbled it, "Here you go!", "Thanks, kid!" I went out of the house for signal, (*Dialing noises)

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Pick up... I teleported to the Fairies' Brook, 'C'mon, kid... just pick up! Don't get your lil' sister worried.' The faint sound of 'Rolling Girl' is heard, I think the phone's answered, "(Y/N)! Wherever you are... I'm really sorry!" I yelled through the midnight blue room, my voice echoing through... "..." she mumbled but no sound coming out of her mouth... then I heard rain in the distance, so I have to move further... then I heard her crying on the phone, "I'm... s-sorry... (*sobbing)" Her SOUL just kept breaking, I can't bear it anymore... "Look, (Y/N)... let me explain--" "No..." she cuts me off, "All I ever asked was to... die..." she then hung up the phone... I touched the glowing, periwinkle-colored flower, "Nothing here..." it said, so she was here, wasn't she, "I'm lost..." followed another, with a cracking sound... "I don't know what TRUE LOVE is... (*crack) (*sob)" no... she's hurting herself, it's not really her fault... "I-I..." she started to cry...

At last, I found her, standing by the cliff, is she... really trying to-- "Goodbye..." she then jumped into the glowing lake below, "(Y/N)!" I turned her SOUL red, catching her... "(Y/N)! Listen to me!" I said, gripping her SOUL hard, "You shouldn't be doing this!" I said, "Keep holding on to me! Please, I don't want to lose you!" I said, crying, "I swear, stop this... please (Y/N)... it's now or never... "  she then started to faint, I pulled her in... "(Y/N)?" I said, "Kid? Wake up..." I held her hand, put my index and middle fingers to her wrist, to check her pulse, it's still beating, "Thank goodness, (Y/N)... You're still alive..." I hugged her tight... crying with happiness...

I woke up, in a midnight blue room, with stars above, and a waterfall flowed by. "What is this place?" I noticed that I am laid on Ash's lap, "Ash?" I asked, "(Y/N). Finally, you're awake!" she then hugged me with sparkling tears in her eyes, "You could've died, buddy!" she cried, I pat her back. We stayed like this for like 30 minutes

I process the things that happened earlier before I went into this position, First; Ash and I got into a big fight, Two; I came in this place, for no reason, I think I teleported into this unfamiliar place, Three; I answered Ash's call, then lastly; I jumped into the brook below, but, why didn't I die? Did she... save me? 

"You know, I have that ringtone too!" she said, "'One last time? Stop it's fine!' Aren't you getting tired of doing this, I'll stop this breath from rolling out, for now..." I sang out the lyrics of the song, "I really hate to tell you this, but you have a beautiful voice." I blushed, she did too. "(Y/N), I don't want to lose you, for goodness' sake." she said, "About earlier, I wanted to say, I'm sorry..." she apologized, "You don't really have to, it's just-- disappointing..." I said, "I know..." she said, "Well, this is the only timeline that you existed here..." she said, I nodded, but when she said the 'timelines' thing, is that a thing about time history... or maybe... "This is a RARE timeline after all..." she mumbled, staring at the night's sky, "About this 'timelines' thing, or whatsoever, what happened before the time I came here? You said anything about my sister, right?" I asked, "Oh-- well, you know, this is all a long story... well, where can i start-- It all just began, the first time Abigail came here, you weren't there, I just woke from my bed, I greeted Leila a little 'hello' then went out, I just came into the big doorway, of the RUINS, cause' long ago, the lady on that door promised me to take care of Abigail, I agreed, then I took cover when I saw the kid, which is your sister. I then ran to her then played a prank on her, she was all happy-go-lucky, as always... she then met my sister, she didn't even kill a single person, she's a kind person, alright. Then after all that happened, we finally went to the Surface, and everyone lived happily ever after-- but, I woke in the same bed again, the same thing, all about sparing everyone again, I seemed displeased, then it happens again, and again, and again... I have to stop caring before anything goes wrong..." she narrated, "Then, one of the timelines, she appeared again, with a face of like, really unexplainable, I became confused, then in all the town, there's pieces of SOULS that have been shattered, I became scared, then when she came to fight Leila, she killed her... with a mysterious sword, scared and confused, I followed her until I came into this Last Corridor, i killed her many times before, but... she... then killed me... I became terrified and confused, This process happened again and again. I'm the only one that know all this, not even a single Legend is knowing this, about the RESETS, some painful timelines, I shouldn't be telling this to Leila, if so, her SOUL would be torn in two, like literally..." she stopped, "And here we are, you entered into this Underground." she said. She then wiped the tears with the sleeve.

I then brought out my SOUL, which was quite cracked, I stare in sadness, she looked at my pale indigo-colored SOUL, "Here let me--" she also brought out her SOUL, which was red... then, her SOUL emitted red light, towards my pale and cracked SOUL, I let out a soft moan as it touched my SOUL, tears started to form in my eyes, "Ash..." I mumbled, "It's okay buddy..." then she hugged me again... easing the pain, then a tint of (indigo) (F/C) formed on the heart, until it finally healed, with no cracks left, "Aww, calm down, buddy... you're so emotional" she said, "Anyway, are we going home now? I think it's getting late..." I said, yawning, then put my head on her shoulder, beginning to sleep.

She rest her head on my shoulder, and she slept, well, I think she wanted to go back home now... so I carried her in my arms, then teleported to the dark room. I created a diamond to serve as a flashlight, then laid her in bed, I laid next to her then began to sleep.
