Hours later the group was beginning to slow, mostly from hunger. Ash wanted to press on, more from frustration with the members in the group than anything. Reyn's whining was getting on her nerves, and constantly reminding her that there was a siren in the group.
Finally they passed through a small town and Ashlin caved in, letting them all go find food.
"Meet at the edge of town in an hour," she ordered, watching Eli and Reyn saunter off and Xael and Luna walk step-by-step away.
She turned her violet eyes on Braxton, already feeling the lonilness from staying away from him. But she needed to make her point, as much as his sad eyes tore at her.
"You should eat," she mumbled, letting her dark hair hide her own emotions, "I'm going to find a seat at the edge of town, wait for everyone."
She dragged her feet away, waiting until she was outside of the town to take a deep breath. Finding a tree a couple feet into the forest, she let herself sink into the grass and finally took in the last few days, opening the flood gate of emotion, tasting the salt on her lips as her cheeks grew wet with quiet sobs.
Why can't I get this right?
