The Cemetery

'Don't be afraid...' she leaned closer, keeping their faces merely centimetres apart. 'This was supposed to take away the pain.' In that moment she was desperate to make him smile again, her heart ached seeing him so devestated.

He sighs. "Ace... I might know what will help you..."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:24 pm

'What is it?' she continued studying him, hoping he would give away some sort of clue.

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:24 pm

"I don't like it one bit..." he mumbles, mostly to himself. Louder, her says, "We'll have to find Query..."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:26 pm

'Why do you keep mentioning him? who exactly is he?' her mind tried to work through the block surrounding it, but she failed.

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:28 pm

"If it works, you'll remember soon enough, love."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:33 pm

'You're scaring me..' she gazed at him again, wishing she knew, wishing she could understand.

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:37 pm

He smiles sadly and opens his eyes again. "We're scaring each other, aren't we?"

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:40 pm

'Please stop, i don't want you to be scared of me.' she had to put her words simply.

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:44 pm

"I can't help it, Ace... I'm not scared of you, I'm scared of what's happened to you. You're different. But if Query," he almost snarls the name, "can help, everything should be alright again..."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:45 pm

'I did this to myself Eagle, to stop all of this, it was supposed to fix everything...' it just gave me wasted time, whatever i did to myself. I can't run. she blinked back tears, struggling with her confusion.

be back in a couple hours!

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 6:47 pm

OOC: See you!

IC: He draws her into his embrace again, hugging her. "We don't have to leave here, if you want. I can always send Query a letter."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:27 pm

She nodded mutely, feeling sadistically comforted by the fact she was by her family's graves. 'Please stay with me...'

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:32 pm

"Of course I will."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:36 pm

'My family are going to be buried here...' she trailed off, seeming dazed again.

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:38 pm

"Yes, they are..." Is it ridiculous that his chest still feels tight whenever Bryn and Sydnay are mentioned? Eagle doesn't know, he's never dealt with grief before...

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:40 pm

Tears crept out of her eyes, but she kept talking. 'And my mum and dad are laid here... along with Ellise.'

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:43 pm

He keeps one arm curled around her shoulders and holds her hand with the other. "I... I vaguely remember Ellise..."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:46 pm

was Eagle even around when Ellise was? i killed her off in June

'People said Syd was evil, but Ellise really was, she was scarily devoted to our father..'

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:50 pm

OOC: Eagle goes way back with the Desouzas though, remember? At least, he went way back with Bryn.

IC: "Sydnay wasn't evil, I know she wasn't."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:52 pm

oh yeah

'Everyone else knows now, too little, too late.' she coughed, standing up carefully. 'Actually, it's scary being here, i should check on Meredia..'

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:54 pm

"If that's what you want..." He stands as well, wincing at the previously unnoticed pins-and-needles in his legs. "Do you want me to come with you?"

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:55 pm

'You...don't have to, but I'd like you to.' she smiled softly, trying to hide her fear.

Subject: Eagle Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:55 pm

"If it makes you feel better, I'll come with you."

Subject: Ace Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:58 pm

'Then do.' she laced her fingers between his, before scooping up the panda plushie in her other hand and disapparating.
