Please let me out of here…
Please…
She was shivering as the temperature around her started to drop. Her jacket was no longer any use to her and she was on the verge of falling into a long sleep anytime. She was hungry, she needed the energy but Skrichey never came by again.
I can't fall asleep…
If I do…perhaps I'll never get out of here anymore…
I'm cold…and hungry…
A single tear dripped from her eye as she cuddled herself closer. She longed to get out of this horrid place. She longed to see Eriol again…
Her brain finally stop registering and darkness clouded around her head. Before she knew it, she closed her eyes and drifted somewhere far away…far away into a place where she was no longer sure how to turn back.

"Boss, he's coming."
Skrichey's eyes narrowed and his lips changed into a smirk.
"Very well. Once he enters, grab him and make sure he doesn't escapes. When that happens, I'll get all the properties his family have. And I'll be rich! And he'll be suffering!" Skrichey said with his eyes focused on the skies.
"But Boss, what about his girlfriend?" Skrichey's accomplice-in-crime, Davio, asked.
Skrichey's dark eyes gleamed, "I'll get her to work for me. Once after that Hiiragizawa perishes in my hands."
"Y-You're gonna kill that Hiiragizawa!? But we'll have trouble with the police in this way!" Davio cried out.
"Ah, don't worry about that, Davio. I've planned every step of ours carefully. Everything should be safe. We'll leave for Canada once everything's over. The police will have no idea how to track us then. We'll take all of Hiiragizawa's properties and leave this place." Skrichey said.
Davio nodded unsurely, "Alright…"
*
"TOMOYO!"
His legs quickly took him to the place where he remembered clearly. The ice pack room located in the heart of a construction site. It was never being rebuilt or demolished after years.
Tomoyo…wait for me…please…
Expertly, he jumped over the many obstacles lying in his way along the construction site and he soon reached the end of it, where the ice pack room stood.
"TOMOYO!" He shouted as he barged through the easily-loosened door. His eyes desperately scanned the wooden cold room.
Nothing.
"This can't be…But I thought I saw her here…" He took a step forward, eyeing the scene around when his eyes caught something white stuck onto the wall with a knife.
"If you want her, come get her."
- Skrichey
"Get her? BUT WHERE!?" He shouted in frustration as he immediately took off for the place he thought would be possible. Seriously, he didn't know where. But he just had to find her…
If you want her, come get her…
Those words ran over his mind again and again. His heart pained every second and his head throbbed terribly every time he thought of her.
Where could she be!? WHERE!?!? His mind was almost screaming at him and his legs were about to give way from all this exhaustive runs earlier on.
( I don't wanna be in here… I wanna go back… )
A tear rolled from his eyes as he heard her voice. He knew she was waiting for him. He knew she was crying and was afraid of everything. Another tear dropped as he pictured her in his mind. Those familiar amethyst eyes that always smiled at him, the beam she kept on her face when he kept quiet, the cheerful character she always had with her.
"But even a snowman can smile, too. Why won't you?"
"This world is filled with hatred. But look around us, Eriol, there's so many things in this world to rejoice about. There's still so much things to be happy about."
"You're just a snowman, ne, Eriol?"
"If you don't have dreams, does that means you don't have a life, too, Eriol?"
"Why don't you teach me how to play the piano, Eriol?"
"Arigatou gozaimasu! You're the best, Eriol-kun!"
"Just treat it as a memoir from me. Well, you know, if I die or something."
"You've got to cherish everything you've got every moment. You never know when you're gonna lose one of them. That's why its important to stay happy always."
More tears dropped and he finally ended up desperately trying to wipe those tears away. He remembered all the kind words she had said to him, those wonderful words he had kept in his heart and had never forgotten a word about it.
Cherish everything I've got? That I'll never know till I lose one of them?
He stopped in his tracks, falling onto the ground in tears.
That I'll never know till I lose one of them…
Those crystalline tears rolled down slowly and sank into the white fine sand. His eyes were welled up with tears, his vision was turning misty but he didn't care.
I'm…I'm so stupid…
*
"Boss. She's waking." Davio said to the dark-eyed man. Skrichey nodded as he signalled Davio to exit out of the room they were in. Skrichey knelt down before Tomoyo whose eyes were slowly straining to open.
"I see you're awake." He said, standing up again. Tomoyo blinked, adjusting to the bright vision around.
"Your lover will be here soon." His eyes gleamed, "So don't worry while I finish him off."
A tear fell from her eye but she was too tired to retort back so she kept silent.
"You're too weak, huh?" He said with a smirk, "Once he's dead, I'll get you to work for me. I'll have you everyday and that Hiiragzawa shall die in hell."
"Y-You're…heartless…" She somehow managed to raise her voice above a whisper.
"Of course I am! Revenge is always heartless but it has a bittersweet taste to it in the end!" Skrichey stated, grinning as he reached for the door knob.
"Now be a good girl and stay here while I entertain your sweetheart."
*
Something reached his mind.
A picture of the crystalline sea.
He stopped in his tracks.
The sea?
He turned around, eyes narrowing in a dangerous way before his legs took off for the Northern Sea. His eyes wore a determined look. He knew he had to find her…
Before…
Before he lost the thing that he had took for granted in the past.
*
"Tomoyo!" He shouted, crossing the sandy paths of the northern sea. His eyes scanned the surroundings and immediately settled upon the lighthouse in the distance. Without thinking, his feet immediately headed for the destination he had in place.
He was getting too tired…and exhausted…
But he willed his heart to go on whenever he thought of Tomoyo.
He barged into the lighthouse and climbed up the flights of stairs before stopping in front of a wooden door.
Please let her be in there…Please…
He prayed hard before kicking the door opened. He breathed before rushing forward.
"TOMOYO!"
He knelt down before her, cradling her weak body in his arms.
"Tomoyo! Answer me!" He cried out worriedly, looking at her in the face.
"Eriol-kun…" She whispered as she leant into his strong chest. Tears fell from her petal-like cheeks as she felt his arms embraced her. And perhaps that was the last thing she had wanted in life.
…She's finally here with me…After searching for so many days…she's finally here…
"Eriol…you have to go…Skrichey will come soon…" Her amethyst eyes filled with tears met his.
"I don't care." He murmured.
"…You shouldn't have come…Skrichey will find you…" She started crying all over again, arms encircling Eriol with an indescribable pain written on her face.
"I don't care, too." He said again, eyes meeting hers, "I promised you I will find you, didn't I? I won't break my promise." A tear uncontrollably fell from his eye but he didn't bother wiping it away.
"I was scared…" She whispered as he brought her to his arms again, letting her cry her tears out.
"I'm here now…You don't have to be. I'll get you out of here." Eriol said, his eyes now blurred with tears as he stood up, holding her hands in his.
"You're alright, aren't you?" He asked with a worried look on his face, "Were you cold just now? Are you hungry?"
She nodded, "But it's alright…I'm fine now."
He nodded, quickly taking her hand and rushing out of the room, "We've got to get out of here before he comes."
They ran down the stairs in a hurry, exiting out of the lighthouse soon enough. Once outside, they quickly made their way through the sandy paths but not before hearing a gunshot.
"MWAHAHAHAH!"
It was Skrichey standing at a far distance before them.
"Trying to get out of here!? NOT A CHANCE!" He laughed hysterically and aimed the gun at Eriol before pressing the trigger.
"NOOOO!" Tomoyo cried out.
