"Bloody, fucking...alright, I'm coming over." I hung up and rubbed my temples. This is going to be a long night.

●

...Wonderful. She slipped the phone back into her pocket.

2015-10-22 08:00:25

🌀

Ren whimpered and tried to stop thinking. Focus on this right now. Regret major life decisions later. ".....he's.....why's he......coming?" they mumbled.

2015-10-22 08:02:54

●

"He's worried." She admitted. Little more than that. "Him sensing when I'm about to do something out of line is apart of this ...thing." She gestured to the bite mark on her neck.

🌀

"............whaaat......oh no....nonono.......he's going to find out??"

2015-10-22 08:05:52

●

"I...don't want him to. That won't end well."

2015-10-22 08:06:19

🌀

"............can we..............NO, no, no, we're not killing him too....."

2015-10-22 08:07:07

●

"No. Not him. He means too much to me. I've already put him through enough hell as it is."

2015-10-22 08:08:37

🌀

"........Hell.......Dameien's in /Hell/ now.........." They started crying again.

2015-10-22 08:09:41

●

She went quiet. Yeah, better keep quiet about that. "...I'm sorry." She quietly spoke. She stopped, turned, picked up bridal style, and carried them.

🌀

They wrapped their arms around her neck and cried into her shoulder. They'd never see him again.

I waited outside Ren's apartment, tapping my foot with my arms crossed, eyes occasionally fluttering shut until I pinched myself to wake back up. This is much more important than sleep.

●

Soon enough, Ivory made it back to Ren's apartment. Sure enough, Seculus was waiting there for her. Oh boy. Here we go.

2015-10-22 08:16:58

🌀

I pulled myself back into the waking world upon seeing her. ...carrying Ren? ....nevermind. They, however, certainly didn't /look/ okay. I frowned and approached them. "You said you were both fine. I knew something was wrong."

2015-10-22 08:19:04

●

"..." She got to their door, and gently set them down.

2015-10-22 08:20:02

🌀

Ren stumbled to their feet and rubbed their eyes, not looking at me. I didn't know what happened, because she wouldn't /tell me/, but they looked like they needed a hug, so I supplied one. They grabbed at my jacket and almost immediately it was damp with tears. ...I looked at Ivory. She wasn't thinking about what happened. Ren, however, was. In fact, that was all they could think about. "........Ivory. You've /got to be kidding me/. What happened to 'murder is never the answer'?"

2015-10-22 08:22:48

●

"...." She averted his gaze.

2015-10-22 08:23:27

🌀

"So you did. Whose idea was it? Yours or theirs?"

2015-10-22 08:25:45

●

"...Mine."

2015-10-22 08:26:00

🌀

"......................." Dear Jesus Christ. I let out a breath. "You realize there's /no fixing this/."

2015-10-22 08:27:35

●

"Yeah, I know."

2015-10-22 08:30:26

🌀

"You did it against their will?" I rubbed Ren's back.

2015-10-22 08:31:42

●

"No. Seculus can we at least talk about this inside? I'd rather not deal with Terezi at this hour because she becomes concerned about the yelling."

2015-10-22 08:32:48

🌀

I sighed and nodded. "I wasn't planning on yelling." Ren fumbled the key into my hand and I unlocked the apartment, shepherding them both inside.

2015-10-22 08:33:35

●

"Still." She followed Ren inside the apartment.

2015-10-22 08:35:07

🌀

Ren curled up in a ball facing away from us on a pile of blankets in the corner and I sat in an armchair, hands folded in my lap.
