“Come Back”
She sat there and adored the white-haired. Even her eyes smiled.
She murmured in awe and nostalgia.
But that word, that name, worked like a summoning spell.
Seiu
(Is she looking at me?)
The white figure could see a girl before it, legs folded as she was squatted on the floor. Being in that position wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Seiu
(Holy hell. She is looking at me...)
The white one had frozen, not even lifting her head up from her elbows.
The only movement she had made was opening her eyes.
And when she talked, she confirmed it.
Seiu
(I'm fucking visible!)
She closed her eyes back again, immediately.
Eraya
(Is she still in her sleep?)
Eraya sighed while the white one did her best to not make a movement, and pretend soundfully slumbering.
Eraya
(I need to wake her up...)
Eraya
(I need to talk to her...)
Seiu
(Please leave already.)
Eraya's gaze never tried to shift from the whiteness, until very, very unfortunately, she heard the kid cry outside.
She covered her nose. She smelled blood. And the cries got louder.
She looked at the white figure one last time, before escaping the cafe, for the child.
Furthermore, she quickly sat down and grabbed the six-year old in a hug, who was sobbing and screaming uncontrollably. She pat her back trying to calm him down.
Eraya
Hush, my baby... it's ok.
Eraya looked ahead at the people that gathered around, gasping and yelping at something.
Someone. Some ones.
Eraya
What the hell... (murmurs)
She could see through. A knife stabbed deep into a Gut, and twisted.
Her eyes squeezed in disgust, as she held the boy tight.
Eraya
It's going to be alright, child.
She consoled him, the ice flake butterfly still fluttered beside him, with her wings drooping now.
Kid
Noo...m-m-mama! My mama! (cries frantically)
Visibly, the kid was scared as much as one in hell would be.
He had seen the worst from his eyes that he could have. He had seen his dear dad attack his treasured mom ruthlessly.
That was the conclusion of their fight?
Eraya couldn't let it be.
She put herself together and picked the little one up in her arms, overseeing how the mother's clothes were dipping in a horrible shade of red, and how her soul was trying to make an escape from the pain, and the body.
Eraya
Close your eyes, kid. Your mama will be fine. (whispers)
She took a deep breath, watching the commotion unfold as people ran out of the café and nearby shops.
The kid cried still, squeezing his eyes of tears, and Eraya's clothes tightly.
She closed her own and prayed(?)
Eraya
(Come back. Come back to me.)
Eraya
(Make a return, don't ever leave...)
The chanting in her head stopped as she opened her eyes suddenly, sensing the culprit make his way out of the crowd and run away.
She attended to a decent man and asked him,
Eraya
Please take care of him for a minute.
।।।
Ah, yes!. (takes hold of him)
Oh my lovely kid, shh!
Then Eraya went ahead, to the woman bleeding on the floor. Nobody stopped her as she grabbed the blood stained hand in her own, closing her eyes and praying again.
Eraya
(Come back. Come back to me.)
Miraculously, the woman's eyeballs moved behind her eyelids.
That's when the ambulance arrived and took her on a stretcher. Eraya went back to the kid.
Eraya
See, mama is going to the hospital. She'll return fine!
Kid
I w-want to go with her! (sobs)
She thought of Seiu inside the cafe, and of losing her.
She smiled at the kid and went with him to the hospital in the ambulance.
Seiu
(The amount of miasma she was releasing...)
