The night was foggy and eerie, but Aisha did not see any of this. She was blinded by excitement, the twinkle in her eyes lighting her way through the night.
Add had asked her to meet him at a nearby lake they often went to to get away from the team and be alone without the constant snickering they got back at the base when they tried to be intimate in any way.
It was their one year anniversary.
Aisha had never felt so anxious yet nostalgic before. But she had realized that far before this moment, that Add made her feel so many things that she had never come close to before. The fear every time he went on a mission, the fear that he may not return. But before he leaves for any mission, Add always kisses Aisha on the forehead and reassures her that he will come back to her. It is at those moments that Aisha feels what felt like before was unattainable, pure bliss and happiness even in a world so dangerous.
The way he looked at her everyday made her never want to know a feeling of any other.
Her smile grew further; she was almost to the man she loved.
Yes. The man she loved. That was the first time Aisha had thought of him like that.
Her cheeks grew warm even in the chilly air and her strides became even more eager. She wanted to see Add. She wanted to tell him she loved him.
But suddenly Asha heard something. It was close to her, but she had been blinded to it in her state of happiness. It was giggling. Aisha's only question now was, who would else would be out here this late at night and why?
She begrudgingly stopped and looked around.
This is going to make me late to Add…
But then she saw a familiar glow of pink. Her eyes locked on to the color; somehow her eyes were always able to find Add, but that wasn't all her eyes found this time.
There was a woman with him.
Aisha lost all thoughts. She knew that assuming would just make her upset. He probably just ran into her as he was waiting for Aisha. That's all. That had to be all.
The woman pulled Add into a dance, giving him looks of allure as she teased him closer.
As much as it hurt her, Aisha could not pull her eyes away from the scene. The way they were looking at each other haunted her. It was as if they were soulmates.
Finally it was no longer the woman leading but Add. He pulled her flush against his chest and looked into her eyes with a smirk gracing his lips.
He leaned forward making their lips touch. It was that same moment that Aisha knew what heartbreak felt like.
Was this some sick game? Did he ask her here just to show her this?
A pain pierced her chest. She whimpered and fell to her knees; along with her emotions her magic was becoming erratic. She could not control the surge of power running through her, trying to scream through, trying to lose all control. She felt like she was being ripped apart from the inside and although it felt like she was being torn in all different directions, she still loved Add, and she would not let her losing control of her powers hurt him.
She painfully lifted herself up, panting and holding in tears as the world spun around her. Her mind was racing as it tried to hold the rest of her body together. Aisha didn't know what to do anymore.
She ran.
She ran and did not look back. She could not.
But unbeknownst to Aisha a pair of bright, glowing pink eyes analyzed her every move.
