Snippet #2811849

Eilin had ruled out running and trying to fight him - or rather her current condition did - when she felt the man beside her stirring out of his own sleep. Truth be told, it likely didn't take him a lot to awaken and no sooner had she lowered the cup of water than he was looking around and speaking. It was that grin that took her off-guard. She was sure that finding out she was alive would be cause for him to treat her like an unfortunate survivor. Whether he would toy with her or threaten her life had yet to be determined but as genuine as his eager facade appeared she knew that she could not trust it.

"Why?" she heard herself say quietly before her mind could stop her tongue. At first it sounded as if she was questioning his offer of food but as her gaze fell on him it betrayed that distrust she held so deeply within herself. The same one he likely saw from her before the revelation of who she really was. Her eyebrows knit together as she watched him.

Why are you here? Why did you save me? What do you want with me?

All of these questions flew threw her mind, unable to be spoken before the next would take its place. Yet after a moment of silence it wasn't a question that escaped her lips but a simple statement that she was almost afraid to voice. A statement that was at the heart of the betrayal she had felt ever since she first learned the truth.

"We were family."
