The Town Plaza [2]

Halee

I nod and stand, holding my hand out for him.

Lucian

I take her hand and pull myself to stand, looking around once more.

Halee

I study him once more and start walking.

Lucian

I follow at her side, hearing the whispering again.

Halee

We get to the house and scoop up Blithe when we get there. He plays with my hair and I sit on the couch.

Lucian

I sit beside Halee and watch her with him, crossing my arms over my chest and glancing out the window.

Halee

I look at him, "You sure your alright?"

Lucian

I don't hear Halee at first, turning to her about a minute later, "Hm?"

Halee

I raise an eyebrow, worried, "I asked if you we're alright."

Lucian

I hesitate before nodding, sitting back.

Halee

I watch him, Blithe cuddling under my shirt. I look down at him and chuckle, letting him be, "You are a weird kid..."

Lucian

I sit still for a moment before subconsciously rubbing my wrist again, glancing at the lake.

Halee

I swallow and look at him, "I...I don't know what to do right now. You're acting weird and I'm afraid something's gonna happen. Spill the sh*t now or I swear I'm going to break down."

Lucian

I look back at her, studying her for a little, before thinking of what to say, "I-I... there's a voice, talking about the lake. It wants me to go to the lake. I...I don't want to though. I don't know why it's back..."

Halee

I nod, "Was that so hard to say? And don't go. If anything happens....just don't go."
