Everyone had a soul mate. Everyone had a clock on their wrist, counting down the years, weeks, days, hours, minutes, even each precious second. Then, when it struck zero… Another’s would as well, at the exact moment they met. Mina pretended she didn’t have one. She always felt out of place. A black sheep, always dressed in dark clothes, black tribal tattoos decorating her body- a howling wolf, angel wings, and an armband, among others. Her home was painted dark and full of emotional paintings, though nobody saw it. She was reclusive, never made friends. She was at a coffee shop, sipping a simple espresso and reading a novel when her gaze drifted to her wrist. One minute?! Her heart began to race and breath began to quicken, her crimson gaze lifting up and sweeping the coffee shop. Who was it? Where? 45 seconds… 30 seconds…
For the most part Axel had ignored the countdown that was on his wrist. It never bothered him as he always knew that one day it would hit zero and his soulmate would be there in front of him. As he stepped into the coffee shop he moved up the counter and ordered a black coffee, as he handed over his money he noticed that the counter had gone down to a minute, his eyes widened slightly and he thanked the barista for the coffee before walking around his eyes going every where as he tried to find out where his soulmate was. As he looked around he wasn’t aware of where he was moving all that much and he ended up walking into the very person he was looking for. “Oh sorry…I uh….” He looked at Mina and then to his wrist, it had it zero. HIs heart was pounding as he stood there in front of her.
