Sorry, this is really late. It's not that long either…

Dear reviewers,

Crystal-Wolf-Guardian-967: Thank you for the review. I'm so glad you're not bored by this.

ilikechocolate: Yes, she did come from another world. In chapter one, at the last paragraph… I didn't really know how to portray it. Sorry about that.

Love & Hate

Selene stares at the floor and kicks the ground absentmindedly. For the past half an hour, Martha had been trying to persuade Akiza to just Selene with her since her nightmare. That's even with knowing the danger involving that option. Everyone had given their reasons, which she dismissed and now Akiza's the last one. Knowing what it felt like to be shunned from society, Akiza was the most in favour of helping Selene control her abilities; which means that neither side are getting anywhere. Selene knows that she has to go, but she wasn't want to be rude. So she's yet to intervene. Then, a loud crack! echoes in her head. Black spots appear in her vision and it's not long before they blind her to everything else. The noises have also died down to an absolute silence. This time, she doesn't panic. She doesn't try to thrash and squirm her way free. She stays still with her head somewhat lowered so her eyes are hidden.

Protecting her vulnerability

Then, slowly, things start coming back to her. Not exactly the way she had expected them to. These are brighter, more vibrant colours. Then, she realises that they're forming images. Like a collage, the images are moving, and she somehow knows that they're real places. Everything seems normal, but she knows better than to believe that everything is its surface appearance. The sounds come to her from these distant, far off places. Sounds of cities and peaceful country sides. The stand separate and distinguished, yet all blurred together. Then, the sequence starts, and this time she watches it through to the end. Still staying as still as she can.

Growing and growing

Her eyes flutter open and she leans back. Her eyes dart from one person to another without anyone noticing. A small smile crosses her face, but disappears almost immediately. Then she gets up and starts walking away. She can feel their eyes on her retreating figure and pays them no heed. She needs to tell someone what she saw, even though it will mean that Martha will have won the argument. Then, somehow she sees it all the way she should have right from the beginning. Then maybe everything could have been different. Another pain stabs her deeply in her heart. Immediately, her legs go weak and she slumps against the wall. The constant thump, thump, thump of her heart echoes in her mind, and for a while, that's all that exists to her. Then his shadow comes into her sight and she barely contains that smile of hers.

Bound forever in a turmoil that will burst and destroy all that she loves

Yusei is the first thing she sees when she starts to come around. She notes how relieved he looks, and that he's called no one else around. Their own little private moment. Selene shakes her head to clear her head and he helps to pull her up. She feels a blush stain her cheeks with that small, shy smile. She knows now, truly, that she lives for him and for everything he's ever done and ever will do. Her entire existence depends on his now, and his choices will influence her very core. She's safe when she's near him, and she never wants to leave his arms, but she does. Her eyes flash up and meet his, and quickly she turns away and walks off. The thoughts racing in her head are all mixed up together, but she knows that she needs to tell someone. Someone needs to know what she saw, and they have to know immediately.

Life and love forever intertwined

Selene sighs and leans against a doorway. No one listened to her, they thought she was crazy. She looks out the window. Outside it's gotten pretty dark. She decides to head back when something flashes by the window. Having had no premonition to warn her of imminent danger, she ventures out after whatever it was. Outside she finds a soft, light turquoise glow from that alien fox creature she had seen before. It instantly has her intrigued and she kneels by its curled up form. Tentatively, he hand reaches out for the creature and it seems to sense her movements because it moves. The creature is half crouched and half turned to her. A hissing sound comes from it and she pulls back. It sniffs at her and proceeds to cautiously move closer. Then it dawns on her.

"That glow, it was your master wasn't it?" Selene whispers. "Don't look at me like that, I didn't ask for it to bring me here to a foreign world… I should be heading back in now."

Then she glances back at the creature, only to find that it's disappeared. She stands up abruptly and quickly glances around her warily. She sees something in the undergrowth. Instinct tells that whatever it is, it isn't something she wants to encounter. Then she turns and runs back inside as fast as she can. She doesn't give even a backward glance, which is a shame, because then she might have seen the glowing eyes.

The eyes that none escape
