Maybe Rachias wanted to believe that Gabriel had come in to do something horrid to her father, it was easy for her to imagine, though she felt the need to have the justification to think that. He had already been the cause of losing one brother, at least in her mind, and soon it would be another, and now perhaps her father also. The young woman frowned at her father's words, the lack of an answer that he was able to give her, but she didn't blame him either. "Gabriel was here to see Jasper." She spoke quietly, hesitant. She didn't want the mention of him to send her father in to another panic, but she also didn't want him believing that some kind of angel or demon had arrived just for him. It would only make things worse. "No, I don't." She stated firmly, as straight as she could, hiding the fear that he just might die down within the pits of her stomach. The last thing that they needed was him worrying about whether or not he was going to die. "I'm not going to let you." She wished she the power to control that. She wished that she could say those words with any ounce of truth. The sad fact was, Rachias was still unsure whether or not any of them would make it. "When you get better we're going to be safe and happy and all of your friends will come to see you and be happy that you're okay." She wanted him to believe it, wanted to believe it herself, but even now she wondered whether or not he would show the same closeness to her when he was well, if he got well, that he was showing now. |
