Alexiel smiled running towards the door then abruptly stopped looking at them with a child-like curiosity. She grinned widely and and chew on her lower lip as she reached out to grab the handles.
"BE CAREFUL! IT'S MISSING SOME OF THE ROOF!" she heard Suze call out to her.
She gently turned the handle and pulled but it didn't open. She pulled harder on the door, grunting until it finaly opened up witha loud creek. She let go and feel on her butt. They had caught up with her quickly and suze looked down at her, "You ok?"
Alex nodded and quickly got up dusting herself off. Duncan and Adam went in ahead of them and they followed.
She looked up and around the place with a sad look on her face. Sighing, she looked to what used to be the pew and stopped in her steps.
"What's wrong, Alex?" Suze asked her.
"It's bad 'ere. Not nice anymore," she looked at Suze then to the ceiling and sniffed the air, "It's gonna rain soon. Need better shelter, Suze."
Suze looked from the roof to the night sky for several moments.
"Alex? Alex?" Suze called to her but she didn't respond. Duncan and Adam had sat down on the steps to the altar waiting silently for Suze.
Alex kept looking at the sky but her eyes were unfocused as images flashed in her mind:
Tears begin to flow down her cheeks as she grabs her ears and drops to the ground. Suze quickly runs to her with Duncan following as Adam stands up watching cautiously.
"Hate...," Alex says as Suze clasps her face, "Alex? Alex? Look at me. ALEX! LOOK AT ME. Come on, sweetie. Alex come back to me."
Alex's eyes become focus once more and she blinks a few times before looking to Suze then up to Ducan. who's crouched beside her, with a confused look.
"There we go. You're safe, ok? Everything's going to be fine, Alex." Alex looks back to Suze with a worried look. Suze lets go of her head and gentle rubs her cheeks, "Ok? You're safe." But Alex shakes her head and slowly stands up. Turning back around to face the door, she looks around the room, "No. Not safe. Not til light is no more."
"Light?" Adam spoke from behind them with a quirked brow.
Alex nodded as she looked at the door.
"Alex what are you talking about?" Suze put her hands on her shoulders looking into her eyes worried.
"No worries. Everything will happen at the right time," Alex turned around looking at them, "Everything will happen when it needs to and all will be fine in the end. Promise."
