<div class="floatleft">(https://d.wattpad.com/story_parts/648099229/images/15623bd8731a17cd29046300256.gif)</div>Everything was happening so fast. It felt like only twenty minutes ago, Karina was just a normal woman going about her normal life. Now? Jesus... Nothing would be the same. Would it ever go back to normal?<br/><br/><em>Unlikely... Your boss wants you dead and sent a highly trained assassin to do the job.</em>She thought. It truly felt like something straight out of an action movie plot.<br/><br/><em>"They'd kill anyone who got in there way, you just... you know too much."</em>James said.<br/><br/><em>Obviously...</em>Karina thought, but stayed quiet. She knew her response wouldn't help the situation. After all, they were both kind of in this together now.<br/><br/><em>"Look, we're not gonna let that happen... I'm not going back... I can't, and I'm not letting them take you either."</em>He added. Karina could sense the sincerity of his words, and genuine emotion was incredibly hard to fake - especially in the presence of an empath.<br/><br/><em>Was... Was I the reason he woke up?</em>She wondered, her gaze wandering until it fell upon him.<em>Is it possible that my ability...had something to do with it?</em>She didn't truly understand her power, to be honest. She had no idea what she could do with it.<br/><br/>"I...don't know the extent of this ability." She admitted softly. "But... I do know that when I touch you - I see things. And that's never happened before." Karina looked down at the knife in her hands. "I saw you. Only, you looked different.<em>Much</em>different." She went on. "I think I saw you falling down a ravine? I don't know. I saw you being operated on. And the sound..." She rubbed her temple and closed her eyes.<br/><br/>"Flesh and bone being cut through. I don't know if I'll ever forget that sound..." She winced, as if she could feel the pain. "There's so much snow, and it's so cold... And you're terrified and in pain, just wondering why you didn't die." A single tear slid down her cheek as she was lost in her reminisce.<br/><br/>She wasn't so lost that he couldn't pull her out, but she was letting everything quickly overwhelm her.
