A/N: It's been a long time in coming. Bet you thought that I'd never finish it didn't ya? Here's the next bit…short I know, but I'm getting back into the feel of things.
Chapter 38
Despite Phil's fears, Red had been listening to all of them since they had moved her to Silver Streams. She hadn't reacted since no one had said anything worth opening her eyes for. Threats, pleas, even name calling had passed her by. She remembered the last time Phil had been there; she had answered him silently.
Flashback:
"You know none of this was your fault right?" said Phil.
Yes it was, it was all my fault.
"There's nothing to be scared of. Jack's gone, Magnus is gone."
I'm still here…
"The team is fine, they miss you."
Liar. Duke says they're struggling with the lizards.
"You know, this is ridiculous. I think you're hiding from having to live a normal life!"
Took you long enough to realize it.
"You're a coward!"
Yes, I am.
"Please Red, please open your eyes. I'm begging…look…I'm on my knees. Please…"
No.
"I need you, need you to be okay, you did so much for me…please come home."
You don't need me, I'm just a hazard.
"I'll do anything…anything you want. Just tell me what you want."
Go away Phil.
