It took a few moments but after being able to breath she finally felt herself come to. Aurora took a large gasp of air as if she was resurfacing from being under, gripping to the front of Jaiden's shirt. "What- I was" Her hands instinctively grabbed at her throat, which felt tender to the touch, "The hunter was right there". Rory's next breath came out in a strangled sob and clear tears began to cascade down her cheeks make her eyes seem even greener than they were. "I thought I was going to die" She said quietly to Jaiden as the two reached the alley. The fae then went silent as she saw the disaster laid out before her. It was worse than she could've imagined. Everyone was hurt. "Jaiden, I'm fine. T-thank you" She said as the witch let her down, her entire body trembling. Her eyes went to Alex let out a sigh of relief as she saw he was mumbling. Oliver. He helped, he saved Alex. Aurora wanted to thank the elf but she was too dazed to even move. Nobody was dead, at least her friends were still alive, it's what she kept reminding herself. She wrapped her arms around herself tightly to stop herself from shaking but it didn't help much. At Phoenix's exit she turned to Jaiden her voice quiet and hoarse from the hunter, "I- I don't want to be alone tonight. I don't think I can go home by myself" Aurora knew there was no way she was getting any sleep regardless, but she would feel a little better if she was in the presence of one of her friends.
"I'm telling you, they didn't lay a hand on-" Cas didn't even have time to finish as Phoenix turned at the sound of Alex's voice. He felt a small weight lift from his shoulders, he was glad the witch had survived. Still, he had to deal with Phoenix who was putting up quite a fight. At the mention of going back to Phoenix's apartment, Cas's felt his heart race and his face pale even more (if that was even possible). It was a terrible, terrible idea. Cas had to go home, clean his scars, and leave. Going to Phoenix's apartment had disaster written all over it, and he knew if he went there was a good chance he wasn't leaving Greythorne in the morning. At least not without breaking the witch's heart and his own in the process, which he was so desperately trying to avoid. Cas knew he had made this so much more difficult by investing himself too much in those in this town.
Cas was still caught up in trying to figure out how to escape the situation when he felt Phoenix grip his arm and begin to take him away from the others . "Phoenix wait - I promise, I'm fine. I think you should stay with you friends. They would be better help to you than I ever could" Better help to you than I ever will be, he wanted to add. He wanted to tell Phoenix a lot of things. That he shouldn't be taking Cas with him, that he shouldn't trust him for that matter. That all Phoenix had ever done for him was make him feel welcome in Greythorne, and all Cas had ever done was lie.
After they had made it a few blocks from the festival and everything around them had become eerily quiet Cas stood his ground tugging them both to a stop. "Phoenix" Cas found that for once he couldn't look the witch in the eyes. "You don't want to do this. I- I don't deserve your help. I'll never deserve your help".
