“Oh yeah, sorry, forgot about that. Although maybe if you tried you could, this place is different. I got here by getting my soul taken out of my body and permanently separated.”
Daniel caught up with her. “What’s…” then he saw the bodies. He sat next her. He knew he shouldn’t have, but he wrapped his arms around her, trying to comfort her.
He ran after her. “Why? Why would you do this to me?”
What was he asking? Why that? She wasn’t doing anything to him… or was she? He didn’t need her, right? It was the other way around, it had to be.
“No, you aren’t, you…” Why was he arguing? What was she to him?
He wasn’t sure. But he knew he had to go with her or something awful would happen to her. “I’m coming with you.”
“No, it’s fine,” he said, hearing the tone of her voice. He felt so terrible about all of this, wasn’t Julie the one, he loved her. This was just protecting Rex, it wasn’t love.
