Starry glass

Chapter Ten Dwit

Dwit was quite worried about Trellis now. He had thought that he had disliked the man but now he was worried for him. Dwit frowned as he saw Trellis grow transparent and disappear. Dwit wondered what he was feeling now that he was back in the glass world where he would feel everything. Dwit didn't know what that meant but he felt that it would be bad. He wondered about how he had been so urgent to tell Arna.

Dwit sighed hoping that when Trellis broke he would do so without Stella knowing Dwit and Trellis both knew that he would not keep his sanity for long. Dwit looked up the stairs where Stella was sleeping. He hoped that Trellis would not have too much of a hard time. Dwit reluctantly started heading up stairs he passed the room with stella in it. Dwit wished he had thought of getting another bed and putting it in the extra room before. He crept past her door trying not to wake her.

Dwit went to his bed and fell asleep. He opened his eyes and heard screaming. The most soul crushing screens ran through the cave echoing off of the walls. Trellis was huddled in a corner screaming and sobbing. He looked horrible. Dwit felt a stab of pity. Trellis stopped screaming but was still sobbing his eyes were red and puffy from hours of crying.

Dwit looked at Stella, her eyes wide open and horrified at seeing her love in such a crippled state. She was looking at him, her eyes boring into Trellis's. He looked up and saw her. He crawled over to her then started pushing her as far away as he could from him. Dwit raised his eyebrows.

Then Trellis started coming towards him. Dwit felt a spark of terror; he didn't know what Trellis was going to do. Dwit winced at Trellis, touched him and started shoving him away from himself as well. Dwit was completely bewildered. He didn't know in what way that Trellis would do something like that. Trellis suddenly froze his eyes filled with pain and he cried out thrusting Dwit away from himself. Trellis started yelling nonsense "Stop! don't Kill them!" he thrashed around a couple more times then he stopped stilling early. Stella was looking at him.

"Trellis?" Story asked coming into the cave. "can you be quiet like right now?" a look of subtle worry was showing on her face. Though it was barely anything it still was a look of worry. Trellis was no longer screaming but whimpering loudly. Trellis looked up and stopped moving or making noise he completely stopped. a look of horrified terror crossed his face and he almost stopped breathing. Story looked relieved. Stark came in as well. Trellis took one look at the man and shivered. He then scrambled –without even making a single sound– all the way to the other side of the room. Story raised her eyebrows at Stark and he shrugged.

Dwit was feeling a little suspicious now. He wondered why Trellis was so hostile towards Stark. Dwit thought that he would have to ask Trellis as soon as possible. just in case... Dwit stopped his track of thoughts and tried to think of other things. Yet he kept coming back to the same thought over and over again. Trellis would brake. Dwit desied that he would do anything and everything in his powers to stop that from happening. Though Dwit knew that he probably would fail with his task, it was worth a try. Dwit tried to say something but it was near impossible to do so. Trellis was looking towards Dwit now. He started crawling towards him, his eyes scared like a cornered tiger that had been captured for far too long.

"he is one of them... He killed them..." Trellis muttered in his voice a faint whisper. Dwit looked over at Trellis then he desied something.

"you will get out of this Trellis. I promise you." Trellis looked back at Dwit, his cornered posture relaxing. He sighed slowly.

"Yes I might." Dwit smiled at Him, his eyes sparkling.

"The stars are gone, we are fine now." Trellis looked at Stark and hissed much like a cat about to pounce. Story looked over to the source of the sound. She seemed quite surprised to see Trellis hissing like a cat.
