Break Away
Break Away
Her heart pounded as she moved from the slain man she'd called "Teacher". She had to get away. It wasn't safe for her here, not anymore. It was fight or flight and she was done fighting.
She hadn't asked for her gift, her calling. Its what he'd called it. It was a burden in her mind. She didn't ask to be the defender of humanity. It was somebody else's job.
She stared at the blood on her cheek. She reached up to wipe it away but stopped. No time. She had to get away. As far as possible.
