"Well, I'm sure you will eventually," James assured her.
Running Scared
" maybe " she sighed in defeat
"Hey, don't sound so glum," James told her even though he knew he was being a bit of a hypocrite.
" I'm sorry " she said a tear rolling down her cheek" I'm just tired and scared"
"I don't blame you for feeling that way. Anyone in your posistion would feel that way," James couldn't stop the words from falling as he continued, "Hell I felt that way I one point too."
She looked up at him, her eyes glossed over " really?" She asked
"Yes, really," James replied still a little startled he had said that in the first place, "It was a long time ago and I, I was much different back then."
She sighed m, " I just want a family that's all I've ever wanted" she said
"I'm sure you'll get that family," James told her not sure where this was all coming from. Her 'new family' would have to be Quincy and him, which would probably never happen.
" I know your just saying all this because you feel bad you don't actually believe any of it" she said
"That is part of it, and I also do believe it," James told her quietly.
She shook her head closing her eyes again
James tilted his head, "Something wrong with that?"
"No" she said simply " nothing"
"Okay," James nodded a little.
" if you don't mind I would like to be alone now" she said tugging her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them as more tears slipped from her eyes
"I, of course," James nodded and began to step away, "I'll, um, see you tomorrow?"
" I guess" she said turning her head away to hide her flow of tears
James bit his lip and before he left asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
She shook her head, still turned away from him she sniffled
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," James nodded and left her alone.
Once he left Rebecca finally broke down crying
James didn’t know why he felt guilty or sad, but he dud. And he hated it.
Rebecca finally stopped crying and fell asleep
(Skip again?)
(Can you start?)
Rebecca woke up early in the morning and went for a walk and get walk lasted mist if the day as she lost track of time
James left the castle after mid day so the sun's effect on him would be weaker. He went over to the clearing where Becca was looking for her.
Rebecca closed her eyes as she made her way back to the clearing
