Post Seven: This is getting out of hand.

[witchofthechalk]

[Maybe it's from living with Sophie for so long but Tiffany is cleaning. More specifically, she is trying to clean the blood. It's not going well. She may have some tears on her face. She may be a witch but she is only 13]

....I can't believe all this.

Why her?

[Dragging.]

What the hell do you think you're doing.

[Still trying]

[oh you do not fuck with the british empire

His grip tightens on her wrist.]

No.

You're not.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Damn...]

Why not? Are we just going to leave it there?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Yes. Because you're not going anywhere near this.

[He hesitates, and then uses his sleeve to try and wipe around her face.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Why not?...I'm not a child.

[She moves his hand away and wipes her face with her own sleeve. She doesn't seem so confident as she did the day before.]

....I just...need to do something

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[Hugs.]

[Damit England, stop that....she tries not to start crying as she's hugged]

Why did they have to take Sophie?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'll keep you safe.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

....I know.

....do you think people believe ...I did that?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[He pulls her closer.]

I said I'd protect you, and I mean it with my life.

Even if it's against everybody else.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[She sighes, why is everything going so badly?...and now Sophie was gone.]

I know you will....thank you.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Nothing's going to happen to you.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

[Just nodds]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Just leave the blood, all right?

Stick close to me. I can't lose you, too.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

....alright.

And I will.

[She's still trying to figure it all out but her first thughts keep getting in the way of her second and third...and Sophie is dead]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Can't lose you, too.
