She took a deep breathe, then nodded, exhaling slowly. She forced herself to let go of whatever shred of reality she had been hanging on to- she had commited, there was no turning back. She began to walk towards the man, motioning for Rin to follow, when suddenly something jumped out of her messenger bag. Something white.
"Dia," she said, surprised as a small white kitten wove around her ankles. She bent down to pick up the cat- and it took off. Luka forgot everything- how dangerous it was to be out, Chess, Rin and the Hatter- and dashed off after it, crying for her to come back. In seconds she was out of sight, her long legs carrying her into the woods faster then anyone could stop her.
