A man that I've never seen before crouches in front of me. I hiss, jerking backwards.
"It's alright," his voice is soft, gentle. Gentle is shocking. I haven't heard it in so long. "I won't hurt you. I'll never hurt you."
Confusion. Spots dance across my eyes, in blue, purple and green.
I'm your soulfinder.
His voice echoes in my head like a sweetest harmony I've ever heard.
Soulfinder, my soulfinder.
