I was furious. I could feel myself losing control as everything in the room started to tremble. If I had remembered the vision earlier I could have already found her.
"Damn it!" I yelled as my desk flew across the room and into the door.
"Naru what happened? Calm down!" Lin screamed from behind the blocked door.
At that moment I didn't care about control. I felt like an idiot and I wanted to hit something. Things were flying all across the room, and I could feel myself getting weaker.
I was trying to regather my composure, when Gene materialized in front of me.
"I found her. She wants to talk." As he said that the world went cold and black.
...
I couldn't feel the ground beneath me, but I knew I was lying down. I felt someone stroke my hair. I shot up and looked around. Everything looked strange and dark. It almost seemed like it was raining up. I looked around trying to find whoever was playing with my hair.
"Naru!" I heard the voice my ears had longed to hear. Mai.
"Am I dreaming?" I asked I was confused. I couldn't astral project so this had to be a dream.
"Kinda." She said as she offered me a hand to help me stand.
As soon as I was standing she wrapped her arms around me. I didn't even try to fight it. She deserved the comfort and her tight grip was a welcomed sensation. She put her face into my jacket and started crying.
"Find me." She whimpered through the tears.
I looked down at her small body. She was dirty and covered in cuts and bruises. She was being beaten. My chest heaved at the sight.
"Where are you?" I asked trying to act like I didn't notice.
"I don't know. He took me and gave me to some other guy. They locked me in a room and they hit me."
"Who took you?" I asked through clenched teeth. The thought of anyone hurting her made me want to rip their throats out.
"You have to wake up." The look in her eyes made me want to never let her go. She was terrified of being alone again.
I took her face in my hands and looked in her eyes.
"I will find you. I promise." She looked up at me with eyes full of trust.
She released her grip on me and held out her pinky. Her child like mind never ceased to amaze me. I didn't argue. I wrapped my pinky around hers. Then, I felt I myself being tugged into consciousness.
