章 19: Chapter 19: TALON

??Nothing registered until I felt tears on my temple, and small hands clutching at me. ?"I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry, please come back, please Talon, please come back now." She kept saying the same thing over and over again until my head finally cleared.

I was on the lawn standing over a motionless Robert Stark. My team surrounded me, my girl was practically climbing me and I had a death hold on her.

??My body literally dropped, like all the energy had just suddenly left me. I had to sit down next to the asshole with my girl in my lap. "It's okay baby, it's okay, I'm okay, stop crying now." I rocked her back and forth with what little energy I had left in me.

??Her smell seemed to be calming me down more than anything else as I buried my face in her neck. I have to ask dad about that shit, this one mate thing seemed to have some serious side effects. I never lost time like that before. I have no idea what the fuck just happened.
