Aya jumped when she heard a soft sound rip her from her thoughts. Her eyes shot up, wide and panicked, to find Jake next to her, paw reaching out.

[color=limegreen]"Jake,"[/color] she managed to croak out. His muzzle was drenched in blood. Aya remembered sealing it shut and piercing his mouth with spikes and a wave of guilt crashed over her. What on earth had she done? Shaking hands slowly reached out for him, floating around him, unsure. But before she could touch him, Aya snatched her hands back to her chest.

She was still breathing too much, her head growing fuzzy and her chest pounding. Her eyes darted around, taking in the forgotten scene. The ground was covered in a pool of blood and half-dissolved bodies. Standing in the center of it all was Ariadne, and that young Underground girl. [i]Camille[/i]. How had Aya ever forgotten her name? She hated that brat. The girl was saying something, but Aya couldn't focus enough to listen to her. Instead, her eyes drifted downward to the body laying still beneath Ariadne. 

Sebastian looked like he was sleeping drenched in blood and all Aya could think was that she'd never seen him look more peaceful. Her mind flashed back to the astral plane and what she'd done there. His last smile, his eyes, the feeling of his hand in hers before she…

Aya was confused, but that was the only thing she was certain of. Foreign memories warred with her own as she tried to make sense of everything.

[color=limegreen]"I don't know what I did,"[/color] she murmured, eyes still locked on Sebastian's empty body.
