We Meet Again

"We meet again!" the girl replied to John, her voice soft and gentle. Although she was wearing her veil, John could tell that the girl was smiling, although he didn't why. The situation they found themselves in was no smiling matter.

"Why are you here?" John asked, getting straight to the point. Just the same as the first time he had met her, John felt his breath catch in his chest for a moment, as if he were being bewitched by looking at her veiled face. He quickly raised his guard and wiped away the feeling, as he hated losing control of himself like that. 

He had realized the girl's identity when she healed Adam, but never expected her to venture through the portal as well. "Did Kadin push you in as well?" he asked.

"No," the girl replied while lightly shaking her head to the side, "I came in on my own volition."

A frown appeared on John's face as he heard her reply, as it made no sense to him. "Why would you come in here by choice?" John asked.
