The Town Plaza [2]

Lucian

I mutter something inconceivable in my sleep and stir again.

Halee

I keep him close, not tired.

Lucian

The dreams of perpetual darkness return and cloud my mind, causing me to stir and wake.

Halee

I he wakes and I move some hair from his forehead.

Lucian

Glancing around, I remember what happened and meet Halee's eyes. I swallow and calm, watching her.

Halee


I swallow and look down, "Sorry."

Lucian

I shake my head, "Stop with apologies. I asked you to do it... right?"

Halee

I nod, "Yes..."

Lucian

I nod back and think, "Wait..."

I glance back at the house and then back at her.

"Blithe."

Halee

I sigh, "Renns there. He won't hurt him.@

Lucian

I glance back at the house. He hurt you... Something whispers in my ear and I turn to find nothing there. Confused, I look at Halee, "Y-you say something?"

Halee

I shake my head, kissing his forehead, "No."

Lucian

I take a deep breath and glance around again.

halee

I study him, "You alright?"

Lucian

I look at her again, "I-I wanna go home."
