The now familiar darkness surrounded me. I'm sure being unconscious so much in such a short amount of time wasn't good for me.
"Naru!" The desperation in her cry almost ripped me in half.
I ran through the darkness as her screaming echoed all around me. I could see light in the distance but just faintly. She got louder and louder as I neared it.
"No one is coming for you." That voice, which I now knew belonged to Taichi, was cold and cruel.
I could hear a metallic scraping on what sounded like a stone wall. Something silver glistened and stood out against the still distant light.
"Naru!" She screamed out for me again.
I ran as fast as I could tripping through the darkness. I had to get to her. My body wasn't reacting to me. I felt clumsily and helpless. Once again her screams echoed around me, but this time it wasn't just from fear. Her screams of terror were mixed with screams of agony and pain. He was hurting her. I was getting closer to the let when it turned red. The dark glow was eerie and unsettling. That's when the screaming stopped. Silence now engulfed me. The only sound was from my heaving chest. I finally reach the light and I could see something lying on the ground. A body. My blood ran cold.
"Mai?" I fell to my knees beside her as my heart shattered into a million pieces.
I reached out to touch her. I ran the backs of my fingers against her cold, pale cheek. Her brown hair was wet and matted with blood. Her wrist were deeply cut which bled out into a puddle around her. With trembling arms I desperately pulled her into my embrace. I clung to her tightly as tears poured down my face. I put my lips on her forehead. I was too late. There was nothing more I could do.
"No. No. No. No." I began crying frantically in English. I felt like I was losing my mind. Nothing existed except the fact that she was gone.
"I'm so sorry!" I screamed so loud my entire body shook from the vibrations. "I love you please come back to me."
...
Suddenly I was hit hard across the face.
"Oliver!" Lin's voice was panicked. "Open your eyes damn it!"
As I opened my eyes the light stung as entered through my lids. My face was hot from being hit. I was on the floor lying on my back. Lin helped me up and into a nearby chair.
"What happened?" Lin returned to his calm self.
Images from my vision flooded my head. Her screams echoed through my ears. I placed my head between my knees and tightly covered my ears trying to block everything out.
"Naru?" Lin was so concerned he wrapped his arms around me.
I pushed him away and almost fell escaping his grip.
"Don't call me that! Only she can call me that!" I felt like a child.
I couldn't breathe. I fell to my knees and crumpled on the floor. Lin picked me up with ease and placed me back on my feet.
"This isn't you Noll. Look at me!" He jerked my face up to look at him. "What did you see? You were screaming like you were in pain. Talk to me."
I couldn't fight the urge to hide my face like a little kid. I buried my face into his chest. He wrapped his arms protectively around my back like Gene used to do when i would wake up screaming. Lin had become like an older brother to me and I had never realized it. Even though he tried to comfort me, nothing could dull the pain I felt in my chest.
"She's gone." I said as I fell back to the ground. "I was supposed to save her I promised her."
"A vision?" Hurt lite up his eyes. "Are you sure?" The plea in his voice made my chest hurt even more.
"The last time I had a nightmare she came to me to let me know I was dreaming . She was crying out for me and I wasn't fast enough." Remembering the sound of Taichi's voice made my PK get to a dangerous level. "I swear I'm going to kill him!"
The air was getting thicker. I was losing all control and Lin was in danger.
"Lin." He knew what I was about to ask him to do.
He ran over to me and I closed my eyes. Sharp pain hit the back of my neck and I was unconscious once again.
