Gavin's pov
"Officer Gavin, you're free for the rest of the day." My boss told me.

I had asked him if I could get off work early to visit Youran before her shoot tomorrow. She sounded pretty nervous on the phone when she called me earlier.

Gavin! Help...

I stopped in my footsteps upon hearing that voice echo in the back of my head. My heart dropped. I knew exactly who was calling for me. And she was in danger.

Without thinking, I rushed out of the station, following the direction the wind blew. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. 'Please be okay. Please be okay.' I repeated in my head, moving faster and faster in her direction.

Suddenly, it vanished. Her presence was gone. 'I... I can't feel her...' Looking around, I found myself at the entrance of a dark alleyway. I reached for my gun once I head the clicking of familiar footsteps.

A girl walked out of the shadows with her head hanging low. The wind blew through her brown hair and the rims of her pale blue dress. "Youran...?" She stopped. Silence filled the air before another set of footsteps destroyed it.

A man wearing ripped jeans and a white vest revealed himself. He took out the cigarette from his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke. "Ah, good to see you again, officer." He smirked.

"Youran, get away from him!" I yelled at her. Nothing. She didn't budge nor move. I couldn't even feel her.

Slowly, she lifted her head. Her green tear-stained eyes looking at me vulnerably. The same color as his. Possession. That was his Evol.

I clenched my fist. "Let her go." I said firmly. Making the first step towards her.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he chuckled. Youran lifted the knife which was already in her hand close to her neck. I froze. "You wouldn't want to hurt your little girlfriend, would you?" Blood trickled down from the small cut on her neck. Her hand trembled as tears streamed down her eyes.

I backed away slightly, biting my lower lip. "What do you want from her?" I scowled.

The man gave another smirk. "Not from her," he paused, "I want you to release my partner."

"No way." I said without hesitation.

Youran's hand moved towards her shoulder, cutting it. Blood stained the sleeves of her dress.

"One more chance. Or..." The blade was redirected in front of her chest. "She's dead."

Furiously, a gust of wind blew the knife out of Youran's hand and onto the ground. The man had a shocked expression on his face, but before he could react, Gavin had already lunged at him, punching him in the stomach.

The man fell back in pain, causing his Evol to wear off on the girl. As she fell backward, a pair of strong arms caught her just before she hit the ground. Youran lay unconscious in Gavin's grasp, as if she were in a deep but peaceful sleep.

Gavin kissed her forehead before gently laying her against the wall to face his opponent. However, before he could throw the first punch, a sharp pain in his abdomen caused him to collapse.

A knife. The knife Youran was holding pierced through his stomach, causing him to cough up blood.

"I'm sorry it had to end this way, bud," the man said, his voice hinting a slight bit of pity.

Bang!

The gun which Gavin had prepared beforehand was aimed at the man's chest, firing the bullet that ended this fight once and for all. The man's dead body laid motionless on the ground. All that was left was silence.

The pain was unbearable as I felt myself getting dizzy. I wanted to sleep. I was tired. 'No... I can't.' I looked at the wounded girl. Blood was still flowing out of her cuts.

I lifted my hand to touch her cheek, tears started to form in my eyes. I was... scared. I didn't want to die. I want to hear her voice again. I want to sleep next to her again. I just... want to be beside her...

My arm trembled slightly. I prayed for her not to wake up at this moment. I didn't want to see her cry again. That was even more painful than any other injury.

I could feel my eyelids getting heavy as I started to lose my balance. Carefully, I leaned forward to wrap my arms around Youran. "I'm sorry..." I whispered, leaning my head on her other shoulder that wasn't hurt. Tears flowed out of my eyes uncontrollably. "I just want to hold you... for the last time..."

The world around me started to darken. I felt as if I was drifting away from the girl I loved.

Officer Gavin!

'Someone... calling me..?'

Hang on!

Everything stopped.

"Youran..."
