Addy's Pov:
My arm move itself to comfort, the extremely terrified Ai. It warp around her trembling and yet wet shirt before gently closing the grip.
Me: "I'm here. You don't have to worry now." I said as i slowly stroke the back of her head in comforting manner.
I'm a hypocrite.. 'I don't know how to comfort someone' my ass... Seems like getting shot in the head filled the screw that has been lose.
Ai (Fear): "Ho.. Ho... How did you find me?" her eyes are red due to crying to much.
Me: "What? Didn't you send the SOS signal to me?" I just smile as I look at my phone that have no signal.
They either jam the signal or my Internet provider is just being a useless piece of waste like usual.
Me: "Let me untie the rope."
I move behind her and gently untie her. The knot isn't that hard but still, they did hard enough to hurt her.
Wait.. Or did she does it on her own from struggling??
I let out a sigh as I help her to stood up.
Me: "Can you stand up?"
Ai (Fear): "Y-yyeah. Just H-hurt a bit." Her eyes a beg a to watering again.
Why is she so different now? It seems like she is a different person, her green eye with purple streak.
Is this what they called DID? Alright alright!! Stop thinking about her. Think about to get both of us out.
As I think a moment. The system screen appear as if giving me an option.
SCREEN:
SKILL:

DO YOU WANT TO ACTIVATE IT?
This skill.. I haven't tested it yet but the description.. 10 times the pain?
Does it mean that I'll experience the pain 10 times painful than the normal? Even with Pain reduction the pain was uncomfortable.
Damn it! Should I use it?
Ai (Fear): "Addy! Addy! Let's escape from here! I'm afraid... Please.. " she cling to my arms while wiping her surface tears on my sleeve.
Me: "I... Lets go." I look over to the screen and.

Suddenly I heard footstep coming closer to the double door.

Ai's Pov (Fear):
Addy suddenly went quiet as he slowly tightening his grips on my hand.
Suddenly he pull me towards the door and hide behind it. Out of nowhere the door burst open as a guard look in and look around.
Addy let go of my arm and immediately grab the wood planks near us before slamming it super hard on the guy head, knocking him unconscious.
Then he pull me outside of the room and barricade it with the wooden planks on the side of the door.
He grips my hand with strength enough to feel like it got glued to him.
His face is serious and focus, its scary with his dead looking eye and his stalker haircut.
Suddenly he turn inside of a room and pull me into his arm before covering my mouth. His breathing is heavy as he uses my head to cover it.
A black bodyguard, with a baton on his back walk passed us. With surprising precision and timing.
He dashes out with a soundless step while hugging me. After the black bodyguard lose from our sight, he let me go and hold my hand with his cold and sweaty hand.
Then he stop around the corner and crouch down. I follow his movement. He look over to me before taking a deep breath.
Few seconds later a muscular bodyguard like guy came out but as if he knows him, he immediately pull me to sneak behind him.
Before he continues to move he hid in a room while holding me.
Muscular Bodyguard: "Huh? What's that? Am I going crazy already? Damn I do really need to sleep."
He turn his back and look around like searching for something that never exist before continuing his way.
I'm confused yet afraid. How does this teenager know what is going to happened?? It's like... He already experienced in these terrifying stuff!
I thought to myself as my green eye met with his black eye but... Its glowing? How?
Then he pull me again.
The sequence was unreal, Addy moving like he knows everything around here. He know what will happened, bodyguard after bodyguard.
He move like he has been doing it forever. He hide, sneak around, distract them and fool them like a kid.
He pull me to a room with exit door and block the door we came in through.

Ai (Fear)'s Pov:
What is this melody coming from Addy?! It's overwhelming with.... Fear and pain. The sound is like crushing a paper combe with a sound of breaking glass.
He took a deep breath, suddenly his nose began to bleed. Slowly he lean his back against the metal wall and sit down the ground.
His body trembling like he is having a stroke as the melody coming from him began to filled the entire room. It was so loud and suffocating, it's equivalent to the same people in my concert.
He is scaring me....
.
.

Addy's Pov:
Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Don't pass out yet. You... Still have to save her..
I bit my lips as my nose kept bleeding out from overworking of processing all of those simulation.
SCREEN:
DUE TO USER BRAIN HAVING ON OVERLOAD, THE USER WILL EXPERIENCE FEW SYMPTOMS.
Wow.. Really great...
My body shakes even more harder.
Stop shaking already... Stop it, your stupid useless body. I still need to save Ai. I still need to live.
I hug my own body in hope it stop just shaking.
I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it..
Suddenly, warmth starts to enveloping my trembling body follow by a soft and failed sound of comfort.
Ai (Fear): "Its okay.. I-i-it's okay. You do-don't have to try anymore. J-just le-leave me here and c-call the police." She said in fear while holding her tears from coming out.
How... Really.. How are you able to comfort someone, when you're yourself in fear?
How is it you are able to think of someone else's when you got kidnap? How is it you're able to put yourself ender someone you just met?
Are you crazy? Or are you just that type of person?
You.... You are truly the bravest girl I've ever met.
Ai... Ai Hoshino..
Me: "I promise... I promise to everything I have. I will save you." I said in a low tone Almost to myself.
Simulation... Again.

Third Pov:
Paul, the used to be manager of Ai Hoshino, is smoking outside of the ship while enjoying the sounds of wave and the scenery of the ocean.
Paul: "Politic is such a pain. Its really annoying. Why do i have kidnap teenagers for adult? Ahh"
He inhale the cigarette and throw it on the platform before stepping on it.
He let it out as smokes comes out from his mouth. He turn his back to see Ai coming out from the door that lead to the inside of the ship.
Paul: "I'm quite surprised that you escape so many guard that has been deployed just to kidnap you."
Ai tenses the moment she heard the familiar voice. Her body slowly step back.
Ai (Fear): "Paul..." her vocir trembles in fear as she turn her green eye towards him.
Paul slowly step forward towards her.
Paul: "Ai, Please. I don't want to hurt you more than this. Just go back in."
Ai (Fear): "No! No! No! I don't want to!" She said while stepping back
He let out a sigh as he kept moving forward.
Paul: "Its hard for me to do these stuff and you're making this harder." he face-palm while pinching his nose bridge.
His eye slowly darken, from his stares alone made Ai almost run in fear.
Paul: "I said it. One. More. Time."
He continues to step forward while Ai step back staring at him while trying to stays compose.
But out of nowhere, her back hits the wall.
Ai (Fear): "H-huh?!" she said in surprise as she looks back to see Paul eyes staring directly into her souls.
Paul: "Go back. Ai Hoshino." his words are commanding and lace with killing intent.
Ai trembles like a prey while the predator threatened it.
Ai heard it, the melody, the melody of
His hand slowly reaches out towards her.
Ai stares as the hand of doom slowly and slowly reaches her.....
.
.
Ai (Fear): "NOW!" she said as she immediately ducks down and her body seems to shrink into a chibi version of herself.
Paul watching that in surprise immediately call it out.
Paul: "Wha-" before he could finishes his sentence.
Addy: "Hey Ya fucking bastard. Politic is a pain ain't it?" Addy said as he swing a metal rod towards Paul head with all of his strength.
The impact of the strike hit and Paul's head were collided against the ship metal wall. His head spits out blood as he went unconscious.
Addy: "Did you how many times I had fought an adult like you?? Its tiring you know???"
Addy immediately picks up the small Ai and immediately climb down the ladder in a hurry.
When they reaches the ground Ai's turn back into normal as and run with Addy as fast as they possibly can.
They run towards his bicycle that he hid in the woods and ride it together.
Addy padel his bike as fast as he can while gritting his teeth.
