1x1 w/ Anna and Echo

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade sat down on the bed, his heart beating quicker as she sat down beside him. He tried to forget his negative emotions about her leaving and focused on her right now and how happy he was to see her again. He set his hands on her hips, closing his eyes happily as she kissed him, pulling her closer.

Eira smiled as he embraced her amd wrapped her arms around him in return. She pressed her lips to his, kissing him deeply as her coolness washed over him and filled his mouth and nose with mint.

"I missed you a lot," he muttered against her lips, shivering a bit. "Why couldn't you have taken me with you?"

[AnnaCat17]

Eira shrugged and pulled away from him, laying back on the bed. "I dont know. I know you dont like tge cold so living in it probably would have made you miserable. Besides, we are just friends."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Just like that, Fade regained his cold, more uncaring demeanor. "Right. Friends." He was silly for thinking they were more. He sat up, going over to the mirror to check his injures sustained in the accident. Thankfully, it wasn't much more than scraps and bruises. He'd be fine. "I'd better get going." His voice was nonchalant and without much emotion. "You should be free to get settled, and I was leaving town."

"Right. Well, I'm going to go check on everything and make arrangements." Kailor stood up and slid on her jacker. She'd go plan the funeral, better than leaving Ricky to do it.
Later, she came back, as angry as ever. "What were you thinking?" She glared at Ricky. "I understand that you miss her, but this is just sick!"

[AnnaCat17]

Eira frowned and sat up. "Wait, where are you going? Im coming with you." She said and got up, quickly bounding over to him and slipping her hand into his without a thought.

Ricky was half asleep on the couch with vizzie asleep on his chest. He blinked tiredly and looked at ger confused. Circe stepped out of the kitchen, from which the scent if food wafted out. "What happened?"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade pulled away from her, folding his arms across his chest. "Why did you come back, Eira?" He watched her, his gaze unreadable. "Look, I'm sure you'd rather be on your own. It's best if we part ways."

"Where did you put her?" Kailor stalked over to him, keeping her voice low enough that Vizzie wouldn't wake up. "Why on Earth did you bring her somewhere else?"

[AnnaCat17]

Eira blinked in shock but took a step back. "Oh..." She barely breathed the word but hurt was written across her face. "Ok... If that is what you want, Fade."

Ricky sat up and hekd Vizzie so she wouldnt fall. Hope flashed in his eyes as he looked up at her. "I didnt... Shes... Shes alive?" He asked hopefully as Circe's face paled as she watched the altercation.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade gritted his teeth, angry at himself for hurting her, angry at her for being hurt. He gripped her arms, narrowed eyes. "Why did you come back?" he demanded. "Was the mountain not good enough for you?" he sneered. "What could you possibly want from this place? You didn't come back for me. You left me!"

"You didn't move her?" Kailor frowned, now uncertain about what was going on. "She's not in the morgue. The hospital is very confused. I assumed you took her, because who would steal a body? She didn't walk out. Security cameras didn't pick anything up..."

[AnnaCat17]

Eira looked at him scared but forced herself from freezing his hands to get him to release her. She swallowed fearfully as his fingers dug into her arms. "I told you. I missed you." She squeaked out. "Let go, Fade."

Ricky stood up and quickly handed Vizzie to kailor. He ignored everything sje said as his mind buzzed. "Shes alive." He said again before heading for the door, desperate to find her.
