"ANGELINA!"

"Shut up, fool!" I jumped on Sebastian, splashing dirty hair onto his face, but he obviously didn't care, because his face itself was worse. We held if for a bit, but this bit could only be 2 seconds, because our time was limited. I unbraced his neck and my eyes moved to Zarina instantly. She was standing by my cell- wait! There's no one's cell here. The cell is theirs. This whole place is theirs. I can't even say I own my own clothes. Even because I don't think I am wearing anything you can call a clothe.

        I started towards Zarina, but stopped before getting there. Would it be strange if I hug her? Wouldn't it be weird to hug someone you are literally taking to death?

I will miss you, Zarina. But soon you will be forgotten, as everything that comes, goes.

"Angelina." Sebastian said.

The walls suddenly trembled again and we heard the noise of the pipes getting stronger. Pipes the size of alligators, being broken just inside of these walls, and cracking all the way downstairs too; from our top to the bottom of this building there were pipes and water being completely ruptured. There was water dropping from the ceiling already. Which meant we were ought to leave RIGHT NOW.

I searched for Sebastian.

He was mindlessly squeezing a lock of mud that was supposed to be his hair. I don't even dare to touch my head yet.

"Let's."

"Let's."

•••

"My shoes don't have soles anymore, Sebastian..! This floor is so slip-" And my feet suddenly escaped from my control, making me fall backwards. Fortunately, there was someone there to help.

He breathed a laugh while holding me up. "No shoe sole will stop us now, k?"

I wanted to say "k," as that was the right thing to answer, but my mouth was glued. Maybe we were doing a lot of exercise already, more than we've made locked up in cells, and I needed all energy from the little I had eaten to run. We were already back to our feet. The bullet was shot,  now we needed to get out of there, out of that place, out of that time; before it comes back to us somehow.

I looked sideways at Sebastian. His face was so dirty, so dirty, so dirty his skin had changed from mummy's milk to the hands of an enraged mechanic. Sincerely, I wouldn't mind if Angel herself don't recognize us. The fact is that I, today, would recognize him anywhere, anytime, in any conditions. We have spent so many days rotting together nothing is capable of taking those contours from me. They are mine.

Without putting much effort to thinking, we fastened our legs. Our- ugh!- legs, almost falling off their places and exploding; but we were both dying to get there...

We broke the pace suddenly.

We suddenly broke the pace.

The pace was suddenly broken.

There they were, looking at each other, lost into each other's eyes. Their bodies were wet, water dropping from her adorable dress, and from his red hair, redder than I expected. Sebastian's head had darkened a bit over the years and I hadn't realized it until then. Sometimes we don't realize changes, because we are living with it. And if we stop to think, people change everyday.

They were soon staring at us, and us, at them. Angel's cheek was so pale so pale so pale!! I don't wonder what my face looks like; because I remember (quite well) how scary it was for her to see me at that moment. But her gaze was curiously fixed at some point on my Sebastian's face, and I sudden realize she has seen the piercing already. The image of that piercing in the middle of so much dirt used to sometimes haunt me on dreams. Dreams, also, are something out of our reach.

       She will soon have bigger problems to deal with, and as those problems come up, all weird dreams about Sebastian will be locked into a drawer, as well as Zarina the bodyguard, and as well as the today. You will leave everything behind, so why those big eyes, Angel?

She couldn't blink, poor her; she knew there was something going on, but couldn't form a thought or explanation to it. I know how lost she is. All I want to do now is go there and hug her from this world. This nonsense, stupid and cruel world.

I want to take her. I want to tell what she will do right, and what she will do wrong. I want to hide her from Oliver Snowfields and everything that is going to come with him.

She has no idea.
