charloft: Run

[fearthepuppy]

Tonight's topic is run. Where to? What from? Where's the fire?

Sometimes, I think that we'll never run far enough. We're across the big pond and we'll still never be far enough. They can still find us. Not easily, but for them, it'll be easy enough. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid. Probably, it's that. But I can't help but think...well, it's

They won't find us, James. We're smack dab in the middle of millions of people, and I've been keeping track of their movement, and we're being careful.

You're safe. I promise.

Normality is overrated. You should know that. You dragged me out of it. But you're worth it.

I'm sorry you haven't been sleeping well. I hope tonight is better. :(

You think they won't find us. You don't know that, though. You can't be sure. And you don't know what they do and how they think and...

I'm sorry, Stephen. I shouldn't be taking this out on you. I know you're doing your best. And thank you for that.

Sorry. But you're right. Normality is overrated. And I doubt I'm worth losing everything and going on the run for. But...thank you. Again.

I doubt it.

You're right. I don't know that. But I can try my best to keep you from them. I'm the older brother, remember? It's my job to keep you out of trouble. You seem to find it easily, though. Magnet for trouble. That's what Mum used to say about you.

And you were. You are.

Talk to Isa or something? Maybe talking to someone who went through the same thing will help.

OI! don't find trouble! Trouble finds me! Don't blame me and get the blame right!

I don't want to bother him. It's silly and I just have to work through it. It was just one dream not counting the dreams I've had the past week. He has his own dreams and memories to deal with already.

I'll be fine, Stephen. Thank you.

You have nightmares often, James. And you don't hide them very well. But in a way, you're in a healthier state. I'm long past wishing for normalcy. I don't know what normalcy is.

I jumped off a roof once to escape.

It won't come to that, though. None of us will die, or be recaptured. You may say what you did to Stephen, that I don't know. And you're right. But I'm sure of it.

[fearthepuppy]

i suppose I do. Sorry for waking you. I'll try and...be quiet. I don't want to wake you or anything. And I wish for it, but I doubt it'll happen.

I hope you're right about that.

[even_a_moment]

Don't try and be quiet. Just...talk to me. I realize in a normal life, I wouldn't exist, but as long as I'm here, I can at least try to help.

If nothing else, Jeff will save you.

[fearthepuppy]

I'm glad you're here. If it's between you and a normal life, I would pick you. And besides, it's not like my life is all that normal anyway. I love you, Isa.

I hope it doesn't come to that. I hope he will find me if you're not involved.
