1x1 w/ Anna and Echo

[AnnaCat17]

Eira whimpered and had to brace herself against the wall so she wouldnt crumble to the floor. "I hate you." She breathed as she watched him, feeling like he had ripped all of the air from her lungs. "How could you do this?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade sat up, frowning. "Are you kidding me? I didn't do anything to you! I wanted to keep Ricky with his family. So I trade that for my life. So what? You can get someone else to hang around you. I'm not going to let Ricky die."

"What has he ever done for you!" She screamed at him, struggling to breathe. "Why would you just throw away your life for a demon? His wife and kid would be better off without him! I needed you but you dont even care! You promised! You promised to spend forever with me but you intentionally cut forever short! You said you love me but all you are doing is proving love is just a lie to get what you want!"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"You think I want this? This is the only way to save him. He truly loves his kid and his wife. I'm not going to let him get taken away from him. I didn't want this to happen, but it's the only way. I wish I could be with you forever, but Eira, I would have died eventually. You would have had to live without me at one point. It's better now than later, when we would have been closer together." His voice was quiet and tired, and he just wished she wouldn't have made a fuss about this. He wanted to spend his last week happy with her.

Eira glared at him as her entire body continued to shake. "Its not your job to protect him. You just threw away everything for a monster." She pressed her hands to her face as she tried to force herself to breathe. One week. One more precious before everything in her life disintegrated. She lowered her hands and looked at him, feeling like she was in physical pain. "You need to call ashley or whatever her name was. She deserves to know. Just tell her it was cancer or something." She headed towards the door, feeling like if she stopped moving she would fall through the floor. He was her everything and so she couldnt bare to watch him die.

"I'm the kid of that monster. I'm part monster," he reminded her. Fade felt like it was is job to protect him. Not only because he was his father/master, but because he had saved Fade before. "Fine. I will." He knew he had to explain something to Alysha. "Wait, you're leaving?" He needed her to stay with him. He only had limited time. He didn't want to waste it.

Eira paused at the door. She couldnt look back at him for fear she would crumble or break apart. "You only got me for protection. That was our deal. You help me figure out this world and ill protect you. If you are dieing then you dont need me anymore and should be spending your time with your girlfriend. Id just get in the way of that."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade's face dropped, and he looked away, hurt. "Right," he muttered bitterly. "I forgot. Sorry. I guess you'll have to find someone else to help you out. Don't bother leaving. I'm going." He got up, pushing past her as his heart aching painfully. He wanted to leave as quickly as possible so he couldn't break down in front of her.

Eira stumbled a bit as he pushed past her amd didnt have the strength to remain standing after that. She crumpled to the floor and buried her face in her hands as she sobbed, her heart feeling like it was torn out abd pulled after him as he walked away.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade ignored her as he left. He couldn't stay and try to help her. She didn't need that. He was the one hurting her. He rushed out, and found himself standing in front of Ricky's and Saige's house. He slowly went inside, cautious in case they wouldn't want him there or that Ricky would be mad at him.
Saige was awake, sitting up and wiping Ricky's forehead with a damp cloth. "Your temperature is lower," she told him, smiling a bit. Fade hesitantly stood by the door, looking in from the doorway.
