  The halls were empty and unusually quiet, but...it was nice. Calm and collected, just as you wished.

  Up ahead was a door, but...where does it lead? Another hallway? A room?...

  The outside?

  Your curiosity got the best of you, so you walked up to the door, wondering where it may lead you. You turn the handle and open it.

  It was the outside world, but it was different.

  Was foggy, very foggy. You were surrounded by trees and vegetation, you couldn't tell if it was day or night.

  You walk through the forest looking at the many types of plants. You didn't see or hear any animals except birds in the distance. The faint chirping and the sound of small gusts of wind was all you could hear.

  Twas a calm state of mind you were in, just you, the birds, and the trees. You've never been this calm since...since...

  You felt uneasy, as if you were being watched. Who was watching you...what was watching you.

  You found yourself walking a little faster. Faster and faster until you were now running.

  That calm state of mind, now gone forever.

  You heard th-, no...you didn't hear anything, the birds are...gone.

  'What's happening? Why am I running? Who am I running from? WHAT am I running from?', were the only thoughts rushing through your mind.

  You ran and ran and ran, never stopping, only running. Only thing you had to do was to keep moving forward and find a way out of this forest you were in.

  'I need to find a way out. I need to find a way out. I need to find a way out. I NEED TO FIND A WAY-'

"(Y/n)"

  You stopped.

  You heard a very faint whisper. You didn't know who or what it was, but it sounded...familiar.

"(Y/n)"

  It was calling to you, wanting you to follow its voice. Part of you wanted to follow it while the other half resisted the temptation.

"(Y/n)"

  It sounds so familiar, but who is it?

  Your legs started moving on their own, making their way to the ominous voice you're hearing.

"(Y/n)"

  You kept getting closer and closer, but you realized that the closer you get, the darker it becomes.

  'What's happening? Why is it starting to become dark?', you thought as you made your way closer to the voice.

"There you are. I've been looking for you my dear."

  You know that voice. You know it all to well.

  049

"049? Is that you?"

  You receive no response. You keep walking. It's almost pitch black, the only thing you can see is yourself.

  You can't hear anything but your uneven breathing and panicked thoughts.

"Found you."

  You felt...pain.

  Looking down at your hand you saw...

Blood

  You fell to your knees, clutching your stomach in pain. You were now coughing up blood.

  Blood was all you see. Everything was covered in blood.

  Out of the corner of your eye, you saw a pair of boots step in front of you. You weakly look up to whoever was standing in front of you.

"Hello my love."

"0-049, wh-what's hap-happening?"

  He kneels in front of you, gently grabbing your chin.

"It's alright my love, everything will be okay."

  You fall to the ground, bleeding out. You feel weaker and weaker the more you bleed out. Everything is fuzzy. Last thing you see was 049, smiling at you. His damn smile, looking like a psychopath.

  Your eyelids grew heavier the more you tried to keep them open. No, you had to stay awake. You NEED to stay awake.




  Darkness.



'This was the end. Nothing but darkness. 049 killed me, but at what cost? Why would he do that?'

  These were you last thoughts until...



  You felt someone gently shaking you, begging for you to wake up and you did.

"(Y/n)? Are you alright?"

"W-what?"

  You sit up facing him. He was still on the floor, kneeling in front of you as you sat on the couch.

"You were screaming as if in pain. I didn't know what to do. Are you alright dear?"

  You looked at his face. He didn't have his cloak or mask on. You could actually see him this time.

  He had one long scar from above his right eyebrow to the middle of his right cheek. His hair looked floofy and soft.

"I'm...I'm okay, 049."

  He looked at you with his amber gold eyes. He was really worried about you.

  'His eyes are bea- no, stop that (Y/n).', you mentally slap yourself from those thoughts. You look away, blushing a little.

  He stands up, taking you with him. He pulls you into a hug.

  You return the gesture. You're now starting to realize how short you are to him. Pretty short.

  You start to feel tears trickling down your cheeks, but...why?

  He pulls away to say something then he saw your face.

"(Y/n)? Why are you crying?"

  You didn't answer. He grabs ahold of your hands gently.

"Love. Why are you crying? Please, tell me."

  You look up at him, seeing the concern in face. You were at a loss of words. You couldn't think of anything to say.

  He sits you back down on the couch and takes a seat next to you, still holding your hands. You hug his side. He was a little taken aback by the sudden gesture, but gladly returned it, stroking your (h/l) (h/c).

  This seemed to calm you down. You were still nuzzled into his side. The scent of lavender coming from his clothes.

  You were back in your calm state of mind. Well, that is until...

  You actually woke up.
