HELENA
Aaron's deep and comforting voice reverberated through the room. My shoulders fell, and I ran towards him. I hugged him tightly, and only then did I realize I was already crying.
“Shhhh….” He rubbed his fingers in circles on my back, while holding me by the waist. “It's okay, they're gone.” He whispered.
I was trembling, clinging onto his shirt like my life depended on it. Eventually, I calmed down, and withdrew from his embrace. I sat on the bed, still clutching the bottle Luna gave me.
“Are they gonna keep coming?” I said, my voice barely a whisper.
Aaron scooched over to me, and placed his palm on my arm. “They will. But don't worry, I and Luna are here to protect you.”
“If you'd stop being such a stubborn brat, we wouldn't have to deal with this.” Luna's voice cut him off.
