Snippet #2396518

Alek's eyes shifted over to Ellie and within a second, he was by her side holding her shoulders. "Ellie.." He said, although none too gentle. "Ellie! Snap out of it!" He growled. If she went for Talos, he would do his damnedest to stop her.

It pained him more than most would ever realize that Ellie had changed. That she was giving into her darker side. "It's me, Alek. You need to fight this urge, Ellie. If not for yourself, but for me. Ellie, I know it's difficult and it hurts but you must fight it. You can bite, claw or whatever you want to me. But please come back to me.."

This also gave Talos a problem. Because Alek was in between, it was possible that Alek's cloak could block out most of the effects of the light that he had. He had positioned himself just right between Ellie and Talos to protect her as long as he could. "I won't let you hate yourself later... Please fight it.." Alek whispered, as if he were talking about his own mistakes.
