Too quick. She notices and shifts herself subconsciously a bit farther away. That wary look falling back into her eyes. “No, no, I don’t want that.” She says, her eyes straying from them both to look into the darkness that had now surrounded them. A small sigh of fear escapes her, the breath rushing past her teeth to escape into the cold night. Her heart thumps a little louder, beats harder against her rib cage.
He speaks again and it’s not that she forgot that he was there but she turns sharply to look at him. ”Sometimes they do.” Her breath whooshing from her lungs and her knees almost buckling before she snaps them back beneath her. “His name?” She almost laughs, but she cannot, it’s stuck in her throat almost suffocating her.
Her breath wheezes through her lips, her eyes almost rolling again but she manages to steady herself. She doesn’t know how, but she does. She moves away from them moves closer to the steady trunk of the large tree, finding a place to lean. “His name is Tarnished and there’s not protecting yourself from him.” She says, her voice fading and her eyes seeing other things than what stood before her. “Just saying his name….” she shudders, hoping that it doesn’t have the effect of bring the death back to life.
She wants to trust them both, but long ago realized that you can never trust what you see. There was too much that could be hidden inside deep where it mattered. She never would have thought that Nish would have hurt her the way that he had, never would have imagined that he would have tormented her and broken her the way that she had been. It hurt and broke her confidence to think that she could be so wrong, so utterly, and completely wrong about someone. It broke her happy too, her carefree laughter. All of it was long gone, broken by the shadows and the evil.
And no one could put her back together again.
