Getting himself up, he held his hand against the bleeding one, hoping to stop the blood that was continuing to flow. "Maybe she wasn't at the time that she first showed up, but she is now..." He looked up at Momo, pushing himself up to stand over her. "And now that I know who was killing all of them, I know why. Which means that I did what she told me to do, just... Not in the time limit she gave me."
Hearing all of what was going on around her, Momo didn't know who she was supposed to look at. Hands now on her hips, she looke dup at Silas, sticking ehr tongue out. "So, who is this girl that the two of you are..." Eyes widened as she turned around, now looking up at Eliza May."You! You're the girl that he did this about!" Looking her over, Momo let out a small laugh. "I can't believe he fell for you, not even able to stand up for yourself other then keeping away the tears? That's not going to get you anywhere with us Council members around."
I nodded at the girl, the tears all fading now, and my unusual self returning. Me before friends. Me before any of this. Me all alone again. I stood up and smiled at her, nodding my thanks. "You're probably right. Nobody was ever quite impressed with me, I'm afraid. I'm nothing special. In fact, for some reason I have always been despised. Silas was the first person to ever appreciate me. He's probably going to be the last. I really gave up caring a long time ago. Though I must admit, crying is usually below me. Must just be the rough week. After all, having a gun pointed at my head in an attempt at murder, being reminded that I will never be normal, my parents dying, all of the painful nightmares being true... It's definitely been a bad week."
I shrugged, looking the girl up and down for a moment. She was Silas' sister. Why would she want to kill him and ruin any chance he had at a good life? I remembered him talking about all his past loves dying, and oddly enough, it was a personal stab that even I was not quite like them. I never would be anyway, but it still hurt to think that I wasn't his number one. Maybe he still loved them more? I looked at the girl, my smile fading. "Though I must ask why you keep Silas from happiness? I'm a bit confused by that, and would love and explanation of why everyone seems to be avoiding me this week." I folded my arms in front of me and waited for an answer.
