Confessions
Chapter 38
Still not mine
"Aster! Are you okay?" Sophie asked, looking up at her Bunny.
Aster grinned and ruffled Sophie's hair softly. "I'm fine ya ankle-biter. Just a little scratch," Aster said, wrapping his good arm around Sophie.
"Katherine said you took down Pitch by yourself. I don't want to lose you Bunny," Sophie whispered, eyes filling with tears.
"Hey, no tears, I'm fine. I ain't leaving ya Soph. I'll always be here for ya. You are my ankle-biter and nothing is gonna change that," Aster said, wipping away the tears that started to fall down Sophie's face, and planting a kiss on the top of Sophie's head.
"I was scared Bunny, I thought I was losing you, after Katherine told me what had happened. I thought you had been infected and I overheard North saying we were running low on some of the ingreidents for the antidote. I thought you would become the new Pitch," Sophie sobbed, burrying her face in Aster's fur. "I thought I was losing you like I lost Daddy."
"Sophie, you and Jack are the most important people in my life and I'm not letting you go," Aster said, holding Sophie tighter, "I'm not losing my family again."
"Promise?" Sophie sniffed, looking up at Aster with tear filled eyes.
"Promise," Aster said, "Why don't you go check on your brother?"
Sophie detacted herself from Aster's side and made her way to her brother's room.
"I love you Bunny," Sophie said, looking back at Aster.
"I love ya too ankle-biter," Aster said, smiling at her.
