Three Hundred Theme Challenge
#263. Why?
“Why?” the girl sobbed loudly, falling to her knees the second people had left the house, “why?” As the tears flowed down her cheeks, Lexy allowed herself to cry for the first time since she watched her family’s cottage burn to the ground with her grandmother and aunts still inside. True, they had already been dead, she had felt it when they willed their power to her, but that didn’t change the fact that she had lost the last of her blood relations.
Her mother was dead
Her father might as well be, locked in the psych ward after all those seizures destroyed his mind.
Now, her grandmother and aunts where gone, too.
“Why?” she sobbed, wrapping her arms around herself as she cried herself sick. She just felt so alone, so lost.
“Hey,” came Caleb’s soothing voice as Pogue wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling the thirteen year-old into his chest so she could cry on his shoulder.
“It’ll be fine,” Tyler voiced, his footsteps signaling that he was coming to stand beside Pogue.
“We aren’t going to let anything else happen to you,” Reid voiced, leaning down to rub her arm in a comforting motion.
“If you never let anything happen to me, then nothing ever will,” Lexy said, voice muffled by Pogue’s shoulder as she tried to make a joke. She failed as a new round of sobs rocked her tiny form.
“Then we won’t let anything bad happen to you,” Caleb’s voice was so convincing then that for a moment, Lexy managed to fool herself into thinking that he was right.
