"Thanks... I mean... For staying with me.." She felt him tense up. "You're one of the lucky ones. I've had both, among other things..." She didn't know why, but it felt fine to open up to him. "I've been branded... Whipped, beaten, starved... Guess it's because I was so stubborn--and stupid... What I mean is, I don't know when to stop fighting..." Sorrelle stared at her hands. "I guess I don't know how to stop a lot of things..."
(( Sorry! Was hanging out with my sister and her little kiddos. XP My lanyard is a leash now. I know almost every line to "Monsters Vs. Aliens" and I think if I see peanut butter ever again... I will die laughing.
And now for a mini-time skip for Anita and Emil... ))
Anita's lung had almost all the fluid out of it. She felt much better now, except for her inability to walk. Emil sat in a corner against the wall, fast asleep. "Em...?" Anita's eyes fluttered open. "Hey kid?"
Emil awoke with a start. "A-aunt Anita! Gosh! You scared me!" He breathed slowly. "You're awake!?"
"Do you... Believe me now?" Anita's voice rasped in her throat. "My baby is alive... Or I wouldn't be here now..."
Emil took a deep breath. "I believe you..." He closed his eyes. "And I'm going to find her. I promise."
(( WOW! Long post is long... *Facematress...* Audieu~ *Yawn* Gute Nacht (oder Morgen) and Good night loves... *Curls up and goes to sleep* ))
