The Town Plaza [2]

Lucian

They person disappears and I freeze, my skin prickling and the whisper screaming at me to run again.

Halee

The person pulls me up and slams me against another rock, my eyes closing and my head drooping low. I try to open my eyes again to talk to Luce but can't, tired.

Lucian

Swallowing, I ignore the voice and charge up as much of my power as I can. I send it straight at whatever's behind her and disintegrate, taking Halee in my arms when I reappear.

Halee

I drop to the ground when the figure lets me go and fall into Luce's arms, eyes still closed.

Lucian

"Halee?" I worry, holding her close. "H-Halee, wake up."

Halee

I mumble something, weak and lifeless, and my lips turn a pale red.

Lucian

I swallow and bring her face to my neck, "Please don't be stubborn. Not after this."

Halee

I shake my head, my fangs poking at my bottom lip, "I-I'm fine. Go...Go away.
I can handle myself. I just...need to sleep."

Lucian

"No, Halee," I say sternly. "You're not fine. Stop lying to me. Just listen. I-I need you."

Halee
I try to pull back, "B-But I am fine..."

Lucian

I hesitate before letting her go gently and standing, shaking my head and walking away.

Halee

I sigh and just lay in the sand, bringing a hand to my forehead.

Lucian

I shut the door behind me and slide down it, fisting my hair.

Spoiler

Playing Renn for a little

Renn

I come down the stairs to see Lucian frustrated. I glance around before taking a sip of my glass of blood, "Where's Halee?"

Blithe follows down, his hand holding mine as he searches for his mother, "Mama?"

Spoiler

Okay.

Lucian

I glance up at Renn before shaking my head and looking at Blithe, "She made me leave her alone..."
