I just follow people around." She paused and looked up at Bookwyrm "How do you not see me like that? " Bookwyrm pulled her closer. "I love you," he said. "I don't see you like that because you aren't like that. And if you still think you can do more, there's always a chance to do better." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She thought for a moment. "Have you ever had ice cream before?" 10 hours ago, The Bookwyrm said: Bookwyrm pulled her closer. "I love you," he said. "I don't see you like that because you aren't like that. And if you still think you can do more, there's always a chance to do better." Insa Insa sighed. "Okay. I love you too." A tidal wave of exhaustion washed over her and essentially forced her to fall asleep. *** In a throne like chair across the room sat a woman who appeared to be in her 20's. She had blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. "I've been waiting for you. But you took soo long and I just ran out of patience." Insa frowned. "Who are you?" "Oh come on. You couldn't have possibly forgotten what it's like to be in my glorious presence and receive my wonderful advise this fast. We haven't been separated for that long." "Saar?" The woman grinned. "There you go!" Insa tried to back farther away but was stopped by a wall. "Where are we?" "You are still back with that boy. And I'm somewhere else. I just made a little safe space for us to communicate! Isn't that a fun trick." Insa shook her head. Fear and panic bubbled up inside of her. *** Small sparks flickered to life around Insa before quickly dying out.

She took away the worst parts of her fear, despair, anguish, and anger. “It’s okay, it’s okay…” Lundyn trembled in her arms.

Quote I'm assuming she said the whole dream here, if that's not the case tell me and I'll edit the post With the non-back-rubbing hand, she started to rub the back of Lundyn's head as well. "No, no, that wasn't your fault. If it's something you were forced to do, it wasn't your fault, it was his." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't know what to say, but she couldn't say she didn't understand. What she wouldn't give to kill her father... She snapped herself out of it. Two bitter people planning revenge wasn't the best way to spend the night. She picked her up and put her in the bigger bed, lying down next to her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
