CHAPTER FOURTEEN

GAbrIEL

Iwatched Aki try to reach me with everything he had, dragged away every time.

Poor Aki.

My poor, beautiful Aki.

Colorful dots tainted my vision with brighter smears, frustrating me beyond measure. I should be out there with him, fighting that monster. Protecting him. Not trapped in here, dying.

It won’t be long now.

I couldn’t hold on much longer. My finger made no difference. If the wire didn’t choke me to death, the sand would.

“Help Akira find the path.”

What did that even mean? And what was happening out there to keep Aki from getting to me?

Please.

Please.

Please.

I don’t want to leave him.
