#╰ ❀.` ( this is our next life‚ darling. ) MYSTIC MESSENGER II。✧

[tragairem]

thorne was a little evil , probably .  that much serena had determined relatively quickly -- by her wild - card attitude & dislike for anything that didn’t have to do with nature . but she was cunning , & not entirely out of serena’s predictive circle ... so when she insinuated that something interesting was going to happen , there was no other choice than to trek through these god - forsaken mountains , hoping that she could figure out what kind of trouble that thorne was putting herself through .

she knew she had done the right thing when the ground began to shake -- and an aurora of vibrant oranges and yellows lit up the entire sky . the feeling was so intense , her knees scraped hard against the rocks and dirt as she fell , then even more so as she scrambled towards it ; an explosion of that magnitude was sure to cause a fire ...

thorne would never do something like this .

there’s no time to analyze why the woman had sent her this way , only to make sure that there was no one else involved ; that had to be her purpose .

she wants to be there when he wakes up , so she stays in one spot for hours at a time . everything she could imagine he’d need is within her radius , where she can keep him laid upon her thighs without jostling him too much . serena’s dainty fingers rake through his hair , now free of any tangles . he was cleaned to the best of her ability without doing anything that could make him uncomfortable upon waking -- meaning she had only dabbed his showing skin with a wash cloth and dressed any necessary wounds .

            ❝   can you hear me ?   ❞   serena wonders , searching his face for any sign or flicker of life .   ❝   i can’t help but wonder what happened ... that place is in smithereens now , mister . oh , but i didn’t find anyone else ... were you the only person there ? i hope so ...   ❞

a soft , gentle smile graces her carnation pink lips , a faint rosy tint upon her cheeks .   

                           ❝   ah , well ... at least i know one person is safe . are you ever going to wake up ? i’m waiting for you ... i want to know your situation ... i want to know your name . mine is serena , if you can hear me ... your hair color is interesting . and you’re very beautiful . oh , i hope you didn’t hear that ... i can feel your heartbeat , so i know you’re in there somewhere , okay ?   ❞
