Sylvia looked at Gabriel and smiled. It was the first smile that had met her face since... Actually, she couldn't remember when the last time she had smiled was. It was not a big smile, but it was a smile, nonetheless. She was happy because she found someone who wouldn't run away from her despite her curse.
Suddenly reality sunk in and the smile slipped from her face. If he came with, chances were good that the same thing that she wanted to happen to the guard would happen to her. Everyone she had ever liked had fallen victem to the curse. She had sworn to herself that she would never become even the slightest bit interested in anyone again to avoid losing a friend, after all, She couldn't lose what she didn't have.
Damn it, why did this man have to show up anyway? She knew she couldn't persuade him to change his mind, but she wanted to try one last time.
"You sure you want to come?" She asked, extremely confused about his valor.
At this moment, Sylvia's mind was swimming with every single emotion possible. She was angry at the guard who she had to escort, happy she had found a stubborn friend, depressed and somewhat scared about what she thought Gabriel's fate was...
Because of all the emotions flowing through her mind, Sylvia didn't realize until it was too late that the guard overheard her question. The guard turned to face her.
"And Jus' what you mean by that, Missy? You got something you want to tell me?"
Sylvia had to think for a bit before coming up with a decent enough lie.
"I mean, I'm pretty sure I can get him there on my own, so if you don't want to come you don't have to Gabriel." She said, turning her head to wink at him, so he knew she was only saying this to appease the guard's curiousity.
Suddenly a water main broke in the town and sprayed water at a man who seemed to have gone unconscious from having a wall fall on him.
