I looked at him, as he crouched down behind me and untied my arms, and I looked over at my friend, who now were just hanging her head not showing any signs she was alive at this point.
softly cried and he looked at me with a sad expression. "I got here as fast as I could Kimberly." he said and moved some hair out of my face. "I'm sorry." he mumbled and slowly turned his head towards Tiana. "You need to get home. I will deal with her. Go." he said and helped me up on my feet. I grabbed onto his arm and hid my face in his chest. His hand softly stroke my back head as he comforted me, then i picked up the key from the floor and moved over to the door. I put the key in and then turned it, hearing the same click we did before.
I opened the door and saw my attic again, and turned in the doorway to him, seeing him carrying her over his shoulder, she was slumped and her hair and arms slowly dangled to his movements. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me, walking downstairs and when I passed a mirror I looked dirty and had some bloodstains on me. I looked like i came straight from a horror film.
I turned around and saw Leo coming up the stairs and when he saw me he dropped what he was holding and it crashed on the floor. "Kim what the hell?" he said as he hurried up to me and grabbed my sidearms.
"I cant explain right now, can you just take me to the bathroom with the bathtub? I need to rinse of todays events and hopefully I will calm down, please." I pleaded as his expression grew more worried. He nodded and lead me through the hall and opened the door. "I will fetch you a change of clothes and clean towels. Just, wait here." he said and gestured for me to stay put and ran up the stairs to the attic.
I sat down on the toilet lid and cried into my hands, because as soon as it was quiet I was brought back to the moment it all went wrong. I saw her eyes, I saw the knife. I was interrupted by my thoughts when Leo ran into the room and placed the things on the stand behind him. "If you need anything, I'm two doors down the hall, okay? Just yell and ill come running. Okay?" he said, trying to get me to confirm anything he said. I slowly nodded and he patted my shoulder softly and leaves, and closes the door behind him. I heard outside he called for Loki to guard but he started scratching the door, he wanted to be in here with me.
I opened it for him and closed it behind him, and tapped up a bath for myself. I sat by the edge of the bathtub, hanging my arm over the edge to feel the water and Loki sat down close to me, I could tell he knew something was wrong. I softly petted his head and he whined, and I just couldn't stop crying, I silently sat there, sniffling and tears rolled down my cheeks as I got up, got out of the dirty clothes and got inside the bath.
I don't know how long i was in there, but Loki sat by the other side of the bath watching me with a sad tone in his eyes. I softly told him that I was going to be okay, I just had been through a lot and I appreciated that he was there for me, even if I knew he had no idea what I was saying. He blinked and licked my hand in responds, and i guess it was his way of telling me that his there for me.
I finally unplugs the dirty water and takes a long shower before finally stepping out and putting on the clothes he fetched for me. I still had my towel on my head as i stepped outside and walked over to Leo's room, and softly knocked on the door. He called out I could come in and I sat down on his bed, and began to explain to him what transpired that night. His expression got upset and then angry, then sad. But he never interrupted me once, he let me tell from the start to the end.
"Keiran saved you? Thank god. I know we barely know each other but your still family. If you need anything, just let me know, okay? Even if someone was rude to you on the street, I want to know. Let be be there for you." he said and gave me a hug, and I nodded and hugged him back. I ended up sleeping next to him, he got me a separate blanket and pillows and I appreciate that he didn't want me to be alone, because if I have to be honest I don't know if I could manage being alone right now.
"I don't even know what Keiran has done to her, right now, all i know is that his cleaning up whatever happened in there like it never did, and he said he will deal with this, no matter what." I thought and he visited me in my dream tonight. He held me and told me everything was okay, he softly lifted my head and gave me a tender kiss and I held him close. I closed my eyes and I just felt so safe in his embrace. Like I could go through anything as long as his there with me. Am I falling for Kieran? I might be. Its just the way he looks at me, like no one will, the way he smiles when I say something he find to be adorable, his softly spoken words and his touch. I might be in love with Keiran.
// I also might put this story to a pause until I feel better irl, and hopefully it will find its way to you and that you enjoy reading it. I would also appreciate if I could get confirmed that someone is reading it, I really enjoy writing it but I'm starting to feel a little alone. Have an amazing day, my friends. //
