Alba was fast asleep on the bed, her face mashed against the pillow and blankets pulled right up to her nose.
I had forced myself up and off the bed once she fell asleep, hoping that moving around would make the pain start to work itself out of my body sooner, but the more I moved, the more I ached, and all I wanted was to go home. To go to the place I had called home for the past several weeks.
Where Axle was with all of his warmth and his honey eyes.
I even missed Doc and his pointless suggestions that I loved to ignore.
The way the ground looked like autumn threw up.
Eon rushed into the room a few moments later in a panic, his hair a mess, and I could see the blood slowly crusting under his fingernails.
"We have to go," I pressed my thumbs into my eyebrows, soothing the throbbing only slightly before I vaguely gestured in the direction of the bed.
"Alba," the red in Eon's eyes faded away as he looked towards Alba's sleeping form, a softness returning to his features that I thought had been lost a long time ago.
"She'll come with us," I dropped my hands to my eyes, frantically moving towards Eon despite all of my instincts to do the exact opposite. He was dangerous, what he wanted to do was dangerous, and my insides were reeling at the sight of the jar in his bag.
"No, no she can't," The red was coming back now, his breathing picking up as he began hurriedly picking up the items haphazardly strewn around the room.
"We can't leave her here, Amira. It isn't safe," I grabbed his arm to get him to stop, to look at me. He can't possibly think this small human child was any safer with us, if anything we were more than just dangerous.
I had murdered people, and he had murdered people with seemingly no indication that we were going to stop. At least I had a soul, I had somewhere to go if I could get away, Eon had nothing to lose except maybe me and I was already long gone whether or not he wanted to admit it.
"And you think it will be safe to take her with us?" My voice raised, causing static to dance in my eyes as I swayed. I was in pain, there was ringing in my ears, and my heart felt like it was close to shattering with every single beat. "She can't come, Eon. I won't let you–"
"And what exactly makes you think that you can stop me," He snapped back, and I immediately flinched away, my neck throbbing at the sight of his teeth. He's already antagonized you, idiot, don't make it worse, I thought.
Our bickering had roused Alba, who sat up in the bed and sloppily pushed her hair from her face. In any other circumstance, how messy her hair was would be adorable, well, it was still adorable now, but this was no time to coddle a child.
"Eon!" Her eyes lit up and she practically leaped from the bed as a flying squirrel would before clinging to his upper body like a backpack, he hugged her back and glared over her head at me.
