October 21st- 10:30 PM

Allen walked down the trail through the forest, heading to Aya's always-to-be-there-when-upset hiding spot. It was all pitch black by now, and he was having a hard time making his way through the forest.

"Aaaaayyyyaaa!?" He calls out.

"Aaaaayyyyaaa!?" He calls out again.

"Looking for someone?"

He quickly turned around to see no one there. He opened up his cell phone to use it as a light, still, he couldn't see anyone.

"Up here"

He looks up to see a girl in a tree. She quickly jumps down and approaches him.

"What are you doing out here so late?" The girl asks.

"..Yeah..Ummm...My friend ran off, so I went to go look for her. " He replies.

"Oh, I see." The girl says.

The girl starts to walk away.

"...You better find her quick...There's a dark aura around.."

"Huh? Wait-"

He turns around to see that she was gone.

"Aya... you better be safe when I find you.." He says to himself.

October 21st- 11:30

After walking a while, he hears quiet sobbing, only to find Aya under a tree. The rain had started pouring a while ago but she seemed completely dry. "Aya..." He says walking over to her.

"...Stay away...!" She shouts.

He flinches and takes a step back.

She looks up at him with watery eyes.

"You're soaked..."

"Yeah," He replies. "It's been pouring rain, but I needed to make sure you were safe." He says. Slight blush across his face.

"...Where's Madot...?" She finally asks after a long awkward silence.

Allen had taken a seat under the tree too, which somehow was keeping the rain off the two.

"mmmmm... I'm guessing she went home by now."

"...She was right..."

"Hm? About what?"

"My parents..Probably didn't love me.."

"Now, don't say that. I know they loved you so much." Allen states.

Aya gives a sad smile at Allen.

"Thank you."

He looks down. "It's true. Your mom...She really loved you..."

"You really think so?"

"Of course. She wanted to protect you from your father. To do that she must really care."

"Yeah...I guess you're right.." She says.

A comfortable silence rests upon them, allow them to listen to the rain hit the forest floor. Allen closed his eyes.

"Are you tired?" She asks.

"Mmmm. Not really, I just..Find this relaxing. That's a-"

He was silenced by a warm pressure on his lips.

He quickly opens his eyes to see Aya's face very close to his. She was blushing lightly.

"A...Aya...?" He asks quietly.

"Sorry.." She gets up.

He puts his fingers to his lips, feeling the kiss linger.

"We should head home." She states.

"Would you like me to walk you home?" He asks.

"No, Since my house is on the opposite side of town then yours I would rather have you just head home. Sorry for making-"

"No," He says. "It's what friends do, so don't apologize."

She smiles down. "Thanks...Well... Good night!" She says starting to run down the trail to get out of the forest.

He chuckles to himself. 'Wow. Aya kissed me. I didn't think anyone could like me like that.' He slowly gets up and starts heading down the forest trail, the opposite direction from Aya.

THUMP. THUMP.

His heart was beating really fast.

He stood in place and put a hand to his chest to see how his heart beat was. 'Why is it beating so fas-'

"Yaaah!" He shouted holding his now horribly throbbing head.

His ears started ringing and his vision got blurry.

He closed his eyes trying to make it go away. Before he knew it he was on his hands and knees trying to keep himself up.

"Now...You have nothing to worry about..." A voice says.

His eyes snap open. With his vision being blurry he couldn't see anything. Suddenly everything becomes clear. There, standing in front of him was Madotsuki. He eyes watering and crimson stained all over her face, he looked down to see it stained her clothes too, but what really caught his attention was the knife in her hands...Stained with crimson blood..

"Mado-"

"I love you too, Allen..." She smiles.

His vision starts to fade as everything goes black.


Well, that's all for chapter 4. Hope you enjoyed.
