Spiders and Butterflies

-Rieko-

It's starting to come back. I don't know what it is. I think I know these people. I can't really place them though. But I can't stay here. He's going to find me. I felt him. I know I'm not making sense. I don't get it myself.

It's all in pieces. I am not sixteen. I might be only six years old. But that can't be right, can it? When was I born? I think it was October. Or is it November? My head felt messed up.

I think I have a mom and dad. I can't remember their faces. But there was someone else there. Yes. I think she tried to help me. What was her name? Mi… Mi… Mi… Mia? No. Mila? No. Why can't I remember her? Her name is on my tongue but I can't say it. Why can't I say it? I mean, I know it. But… But…

I jerked my eyes open.

I can't stay here. I don't want him to find me. No, I have to get out of here. I sat up in bed and looked around. The room was so dark. I could hear them talking. But who were they? I grabbed the sides of my head. I let out a weak gasp. No. He's found me. Stay away. Stay away! Why can't he leave me alone?

I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. I reached up and touched under my eye. I turned to the window and pushed it open. I took one more look at the door. My heart sank. I slowly climbed out and walked away.

I'm so sorry Vash, Meryl. I don't want you to die because of me. I wish I could get to know you more. Maybe in another life.

And I was gone. This was for the best, right? I held my hand to my chest. Why does it hurt me? Tears ran down my cheeks.
