Snippet #2445851

Confusion was written on his face and his eyes were wide and slightly frantic as Luca turned to look at Alyx who had stopped him before he could leave the room. He tensed and his whole body screamed at him to just run, but something in her eyes made him reconsider that course of action and he halted in his movement. She asked him to stay and seemd to be quite sincere in her request and Luca relaxed again, at least somewhat. "I...I don't know..." he stuttered. "Aren't you freaked out by all this?" he asked her. She was just a young girl, probably around his age. Shouldn't she be the one to run screaming from the room after what was going on in here? But here she was, trying to make him stay.

Trying to regulate his breathing, Luca wearily watched the other three people who were still by the table, looking rather calm. So far they had not threatened him, but what would happen if he somehow managed to piss them off? Would he find himself with a needle in his brain then? Or have his throat ripped out by sharp fangs? This image made him shudder and he quickly stopped this train of thought. "You...You are going to stay here?" Luca asked Alyx, not even bothering to lower his voice. If the others had not noticed his intend to leave till now then they would be quite stupid.
