Misha's legs ached from the struggle in the mud and the race after Destin - both times - but she pushed forward through the forest after him. Between heavy breaths of exhaustion, she called his name. [i]Stupid kid needs to stop running away![/i] she thought, face red from running and contorted into a grimace. [i]I'm just going to fall over and die and my last thoughts will be 'Goddamnit, Destin. Slow down for the old people.'[/i]

Destin skids to a stop at the river. "Aya!" He calls, voice shaking. He looks around frantically. He then sighs, not hearing a reply. whimpering, he collapses down next to the river, sobbing quietly. "Please Aya..I need you..." He whimpers, tears rolling down his cheeks. He closes his eyes and buries his face in the grass.
