1x1 w/ Anna and Echo

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"No, don't be sorry. I was afraid you left me forever. I got upset. And, uh, I..." He slowly came over to her, his eyes apologetic and upset. "Please don't be scared of me. I never wanted to hurt you."

"We'll get Alex's family to get her memories of us back," she assured him, rubbing his back. She held on to him, letting Saige leave.

Eira shrugged but didnt pull away as he drew closer. "You cant hurt me unless I let you so dont worry about it. Im fine." She watched him out of the corner of her eye, unsure of what he was planning to do and afraid he was going to lash out at her again. She felt the desire to just leave and forget all of this happened but longing for him kept her rooted in place.

Ricky released a weak grunt of amusement. 'Why would they help us after everythign that happened with Alex? You had to have heard about the feud between them. They wont want anythign to do with us." He sat on the couch and looked numbly ahead of him, barely aware as Circe handed VIzzie to him so he could calm her down again.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade knelt down in front of her, reaching out and gently brushing her tears with his hand. How could he hurt her? His throat tightened with unhappiness. He rested his hand against her cheeks, tears caught on his eyelashes.

"Alex's sister helped last time," she reminded him. "Hopefully she'll help us this time too." She sat down with a sigh, pressing her hands to her head.

Eira looked up and met his eyes sadly but didnt react to his touch. He could feel the cold of her skin biting into his hands as her icy blue eyes pierced into him, trying to read his thoughts. "Are you still leaving me?"

Ricky looked down at vizzie in arms. She was so small she could almost fit entirely in large hand. "What if she did it on purpose?" He asked, his voice breaking. He closed his eyes as his body shuddered from the force of keeping from crying again. "I dont want to deal with this..."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade whimpered a bit. "Only if you want me to. But it's probably better if I do. I need to fix myself." He curled a strand of her hair around his fingers.

"We'll fix this," Kailor promised Ricky, gently wrapping an arm around him. "We'll get her back, okay? Just focus on Vizzie for now."

[AnnaCat17]

Eira looked away from him again and pulled out of his touch. "Got it... I guess ill see you around then." She said coldly as internally she felt like she was going to cry. She couldnt let herself beg him to stay. It would just make everything harder.

Ricky nodded but didnt believe her. If saige had done this on purpose then even if her memories were back she wouldnt want to be near him and if she hadnt done this on purpose then getting her memories back to her would be harder than they realized.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Fade drooped, but got up. He hadn't excepted her to want him to stick around. "See you," he said dully. "Keep an eye on the pendant for me?" He turned around to leave, tucking his jacket around himself.

"Ricky, don't worry. Saige wouldn't have done this on purpose," she tried to assure him, but even if she hadn't, this was still going to be hard. "Circe, do you have Alex's sister's phone number?"

[AnnaCat17]

Eira glanced up at him as he made it to the door. "What is it?" She asked as she nodded towards the pendant.

Circe looked over at her quickly, havibg been distracted watching Ricky. "Um... Ill find it." She said before walking off quickly.

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"It has...magic in it. Just keep it safe. I can't have it near me anymore." He fiddled with his jacket, feeling uncomfortable.

Kailor glanced over at Ricky, deciding to stay there with him and Vizzie while Circe went to go find it. She didn't want anything to happen. She remembered just then that Circe had a crush on Ricky. She had forgotten about it. She wondered now if she was taking care of Vizzie because she was the daughter of their friends, or because she secretly wished she was hers?

[AnnaCat17]

Eira walked over and picked it up, examining it closely in her palm. "Why not?"

Circe got the number and walked back out to kailor, handing it to her. She watched ricky worriedly, both hating to see him so broken amd scared by it at the sane time.
