Her arms were chained together. So heavily tight, even moving an inch caused her wrists to hurt. Looking straight at the ground, hopeless as ever, her white long hair slid past her shoulders and fell dangling onto her legs. Areum's golden eyes squinted halfway, trying to hold in her tears from crying. She was fearful. Her body trembled horribly as the last thing she wanted was to be alone.
But suddenly…
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!!
A bright light suddenly hit her in the eye. Closing her eyes tightly, Areum flinched as she leaned back. Lifting her arms to cover her face. But as her eyes slowly got used to the bright light, she slowly uncovered her face.
There, she saw a figure standing just a few meters away from her. As her vision began to clear and adjust to the lighting, the figure was much more clearer to see.
There stood a tall and slender man. His slanted black and dull eyes stared right into her. Maybe into her soul. Though his black long trench coat swayed softly against the wind, he gripped his katana tightly in his left hand. Taking further notes, Areum could see his middle parted black hair that grew long towards the end of his neck sway with the wind as well.
Though the man slowly approached Areum, causing her to flinch in fear. She had no idea who the man was, and he could do anything to her in such a helpless state. Thinking the worst, she closed her eyes tightly.
But it was the complete opposite… the tight grip of the restrains on her wrist suddenly dropped as the restrains fell to the ground. She was set free.
… I… she thought.
Areum quickly looked up at the man, seeing him up close suddenly warmed her heart. But it warmed her heart so much that it felt like her skin burned. Wanting to yelp for help to ease herself of such pain, she slowly raised her hand up. Reaching for the man.
