Dreams were the only place I still knew who I grew to love. I had not wished to be used again like this, I thought this life would be different from the previous. Is he the one I love, for him to let them use me again was that all I was good for?

"Do you have a minute?",

I turned to see Hunter standing at my only way out, shaking my head I turned back to stare back out into the forest, hearing his footsteps come closer

"Astra you should look at me", he said softly.

Trembling at his sudden contact, I had not wanted to be this close to him anymore, should I give up on him, I just can not do this again not here not now in this life or another, would I be able to even to pull away from him. 

"Hunter do you not love me, had I done something wrong in this life"

 I said under my breath,

"Had I not been enough even now, for you to do this again.... to me",

His hands snaked around my waist, as he cuddled into my neck as I felt his teeth grazing against my skin, as he muttered

"Do you hear yourself Astra, when have I ever told you... I love you"

"Your lying... you just said it Hunter"

 turning to face him I can not go on like this... not again. 

Lightly pushing him away looking up to meet his eyes... those emeralds, do not fall his actions,

"No!... you can not do this to me again. You promised".

I shouted frustrated, 

"Why Hunter why! your lying to me all over again, y-you...said you would show me the world",

Hunter grabbed me by my chin forcing me to look into his eyes, as I struggled to break free from his grasp, tears started to flood my vision

"My stars why must you be so hammy, live a little my dear",

"Live!... Live! how was I supposed to do that if I am shackled here?"

I became infuriated with Hunter how could he say such a thing, I continued to struggle in his grip,

"Let me go! I don't want to be here anymore or even with yo-"

*Tsk-Tsk*"Now now Astra what is this behavior?, now if I were to hit you I would be in the wrong now huh? ",

He looked down with a wide grin sneering at me, his hands traveled up and clumped over my mouth I did not want to believe it had been his idea along to use me in the shrine, my eyes felt heavy as I heard his prayer, his eyes glow, was he also using my liquids?, I have to know.

"Wait... before I go, was there something... anything you love of me?"

"Astra... I was only here for one thing alone in this life and the last"

He murmured.

I breathed out, He had remembered.... but my heart was failing, as I watched him chuckle under his breath and shook his head, I saw his lips move into words I wish to never hear from him, 

"Nothing, you are nothing to me Astra".

With the widest grin I have seen from him with a sigh of relief, I could not believe it. Our previous life, I will make it enough for me.

"I should have known but I was scared of letting Him go, he was there when I needed him the most, yet his laughter still lingers in my mind."
