Snippet #2070355

Cataleia ‘sat’ there – She listened and she watched, unable to not see what she was seeing. This was a side of Tommy that she had never in her life. Well, she had only known him for four months, but it was still a bit frightening to see. Among the Anjos da Guarda, she had seen a more terrible side from a number of people, but when she tried to imagine Tommy in such a rage, she never could. He was always so carefree with her. It was frightening to see the look on his face and to hear the way he spoke. To listen to his words. It wasn’t just the words, the actions, and the looks. It was the fact that it was him. Her Tommy. Once Jason lie there…dead…She reformed behind him, a light glow around her once more. At first, she was a bit hesitant. Was it one of those rages where everyone was the enemy until he calmed? Or was she safe to approach? She trusted him…She took a few barefooted steps forward and placed a hand on his shoulder, whispering softly. “T-Tommy…?” Her blue eyes seemed confident, but there was a bit of awe behind them. A fearful awe. She moved around to be in front of him, letting her hand slide until her palm was caressing his cheek. “Bonbon…Are you okay…?” Before she could ask anything else, the auditorium doors flew open and Logan stood there, looking angrier than Cataleia had ever seen him.

“What the hell did you do, kid?!” He looked at Jason’s body lying in a pool of his own blood on the stage and shoved his palm into his face. “No, no, no! You shoulda just let us deal with him! You gotta get outta here. Cataleia, come with me. This ain’t good!” Logan liked Tommy and knew that he was a good kid. Just that good kid with a bad past that nobody wanted to let him live down and he was sorry for that. “I’m sorry, kid. But ain’t nothin’ good gonna come from this if you stick around here and I don’t want to see you get hurt.” Logan grabbed Cataleia’s arm, but she wrenched out of his grasp.

“No, Logan! I’m…I’m not staying here.” What did she just say? Where was she going?

Logan looked at her and sighed, shaking his head.”Laura is holding them off for as long as she can. Get what you need and both of you get out. Please.” The burly, usually stern man was showing quite a bit of care at this moment.
