Sometimes Rachias thought she saw him, wandering up to the edges of the lands to wait for someone to come and see that he was alive. She would lift her head high to try and see if it was really him, but when she blinked, he was gone. Every moment that passed by made her heart fall more and the girl was convinced that, one day, it would leave her completely and she would be nothing. Gabriel had drug her away from the fire, forced her away and back to the escaping crowd, but why? If he could leave Arkham behind to die so easily, why would he not leave her? They didn't understand just what her brother meant to her, none of them, but it had at least crossed her mind to tell Faolin why she was so heart broken. Faolin would understand, if no one else. She loved Arkham, more than they knew. The sandy colored hybrid was unaware of the small figure stalking her from afar as she lay. The wind was working against her, blowing his scent away, and she wasn't aware of his presence until the point that he seated himself next to her. Somewhat startled, she lifted her head to turn and face the much smaller creature, watching a moment. She'd been there shortly after they were born and ever since she'd moved back to Inferni she had dotted after them like a loving Aunt. Now, though, she hadn't really paid much attention to them, it was shocking to see how big they'd grown in just a short time. "Zeki." She regarded him, the same fashion that she regarded most of the rest of her family, with a pet name. Despite how badly she wanted to just curl up in ball and never be bothered again, she was happy that he was there. "I miss my brother." She answered him, figuring that much more explanation than that would likely leave him confused. The girl squirmed a bit, scooting across the ground to bring herself around to lay facing him. "What are you doin' out so far? Your mom and dad letting you out to play now?" She'd always imagined that she'd run around and romp with them as soon as they were old enough, but now she wasn't sure if she had it in her. |
