Snake Will Pay!! (accepting)

[~Erica~]

"No it's not your fault, you didn't think I'd take it like that. I'd have done the same. I hope so Sully, I hope so, but I don't know anymore..." Erica whispered softly, blinking.

[soulie]

"I still should have been more careful." He whispered and looked up. "You can't loose hope Erica. We have to keep fighting. If we give up who knows what we could miss."

[~Erica~]

"I know, it's just hard to sometimes. I'm sorry." Erica leaned down and kissed the side of his head softly.

[soulie]

"Hey don't apologize. You have done nothing wrong. I can't even think how hard this is on you. I just know that if we keep our heads high that we can make it through this." He kissed her and held her close standing up slightly to be near her hight.

[~Erica~]

Erica stood the rest of the way so he wouldn't have to crouch down and wrapped her arms around Sully. She buried her face in the crook of his neck trying to fend of the sad emotions that threatened to spill. She wasn't in the mood to cry more, though her eyes wanted to.

[soulie]

"It's only you and me here. You can let it out. I won't tell." He whispered resting his head on her gently.

[~Erica~]

Erica nodded and swallowed and quit blinking back the tears, they flooded out and she sobbed into Sully's shoulder, whole body quivering as she did so. She cried till she had nothing left in her, and just stood there resting against him, shaking.

[soulie]

"I promise I'm here for whatever you need. Need it be a shoulder to cry on, support, a listening ear, or just needing a kiss. I will always be there for you.

[~Erica~]

Erica nodded and swallowed the lump in her throat trying to gain control of her body again. Slowly she stopped shaking and calmed down. "I know." she whispered, voice quivering. "I want to go home." she whispered feeling a longing to go back to district 7.

[soulie]

"I know. Me to." he whispered and held her close as he closed his eyes. "I promise to get up back there. Soon."
