*instant flashbacks as this was the state she found Gale in before the entire thing with Max....she takes a deep, shaky breath, before walking further in* Seb? Honey? It's your mother....
*the silence is deafeningly loud. at this point her ears are ringing because of how dead it is. but she shoves down her fear, and just continues to look for him*
***"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK GOD DAMN IT WHY ME WHY WHY WHY----"***
*with a shaky ass hand, she waves the door unlocked. then walks down to the basement*
*In the basement. which is pitch black. Having chained himself to the wall. the key nowhere to be found. Partially malnourished. being a demigod. this doesn't effect him as much as a mortal. but even still. he looks worse for wear*
Okay, you recognize my voice. That's a good sign... *She unbinds the chains with her magic yet again and scoops him into her arms* Come on, Honey... I'm going to clean this mess up, and get you something to eat. Possibly soup. Easiest to consume in your state....
And i'm not a KID Anymore!! Leave me be! I'm not going anywhere. i'm staying down here. i refuse to face them again. and i don't.. i don't trust myself... to not end up like *Him*(edited)
*she cringes at the reminder and sighs* You won't become like him... Because you have people around you who care enough to make sure it doesn't come to that.... People like me...
He had others including you. And a lot of good that did for him.... just. leave me be... please. just let me suffer. let me break until i can't feel anything anymore.
And let my own child torture himself?!? Like hell! You must mistake me for a fool. *She continues to walk up the stairs. Forcing his body to float behind her*
You are!! For not letting me handle this on my own!!! STOP TRYING TO MOTHER ME LIKE I'M SOME GODS DAMNED TODDLER!!!! I have to fight my own battles. my own demons. you can't help me!!!!!
*she stops dead in her tracks. Clenching her fists* LEAVING HIM ALONE IS HOW THIS ALL FUCKING HAPPENED! IF I DIDN'T ABANDON HIM WHEN HE UPSET ME, MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE DOWNHILL! *She lets the tears flow* I can't keep doing this, Seb.... I can't keep losing people.... Please... Let me try to help....
