She spotted him multiple time, but the bustle of the city held her back. All she could do was watch helplessly every time he slipped through her fingers. But with a stroke of luck he stopped. She watched with wide eyes not believing that he finally did so.<br/><br/>Now was her shot, she knew she wouldnâ€™t have another chance as good as this. She tried to weave through all the crowd of people that crowded the walkways. She knew the light would change soon. She shoved a bit through the remaining people, a few of the jostling her back. She paid no mind to the rude remarks people said to her about her pushiness, she drew nearer to him, and that was her only focus.<br/><br/>There was a clearing, and she saw him in the middle of it. She walked up to him, looking up to him her hood hiding her face to everyone else around them. Her eyes finally met his and she smiled at her victory. And as he spoke a small blush formed on her frostbitten cheeks.<br/><br/>â€œAs good as a winter day can get...â€ She said softly as her eyes glimmered a little in the sunlight that began to peak through the towers of the city.<br/><br/>Her arm was seized in a frighteningly tight grip, the sudden pain making her gasp. A man budged between them. The mans face met hers and her expression went fearful as she retorted back, trying to get away from him. It was Yoav, her vice ruler, and ex lover.<br/><br/>She tried yanking her arm out of his grip, but he only squeezed tighter, which made a small tear come out of her eye. She didnâ€™t dare speak back to him she knew he would beat her later if she did. She looked down, murmuring Iâ€™m sorry over and over again.<br/><br/>No sooner as she had murmured a last Iâ€™m sorry, she felt Yoavâ€™s hand completely remove from her. She looked up, seeing only the stranger there. She looked behind her seeing Yoav disappear into the crowd. She took a deep breath her body releasing a tremor of relief at the same time. She looked back at her rescuer, as she trembled a little, still feeling the sting of Yoavâ€™s grip on her arm. She swallowed hard as she began to speak.<br/><br/>â€œHome is a place I donâ€™t want to go back alone to...Yoav will be there...I am sure of it...â€ she frowned as a fear enveloped her eyes.
