Childe wakes up. His hands are cuffed. He sees Dottore and another person. "Let me go! You asshole." Childe shouts. Dottore and the other person face him. Childe recognizes him, it's Aether. "You.." Childe groans. Aether smirks. "Thank that little lover of yours." Aether says looking at his hand. Childe's eyes widen. "She helped me track you down. Since the fatui couldn't tell where you lived.. but they could help me to get you here. To track you down, there was Lumine for."
Scaramouche walks in. He looks at Childe with a serious face. "You dirty little ginger." Scaramouche says while winking at Childe. Childe looks confused and angry. "I took care of the last part." Scaramouche says while crossing his arms. "Bring her in." Some fatui walk in with to Lumine and push her on the floor, then they walk away. Lumine her arms and legs are tied up.
Childe looks at Lumine with a mad face. Lumine looks confused, then she spots Aether. "Aether?" She says. Aether smirks at Lumine. "Thank you Lumine." Then Aether looks at Scara. "Why is she tied up? Untie her." Scara silently mocks Aether without him noticing and unties Lumine. Lumine stand up and looks around her. "What is this about?"
Aether slowly walks over to her. "We were planning to kill you, since your such a pain in the ass. But in the abyss I found out that you were befriended with an old partner of mine who left me die." Lumine's eyes widen and she's about to attack Aether but Dottore stops her. "We're keeping you alive, don't let us change our mind." Scara holds Lumine's arm to help her calm down. Lumine steps back and takes a deep breath.
Aether and Dottore discuss something. Aether nods and walks over to Lumine. His sword appears and his sword goes trough Lumine. "Lumine!" Childe shouts. Childe tries to get out but fails. Scaramouche pulls the sword out Lumine and wants to slash Aether, but he disappears. Lumine holds her stomach. Dottore looks at the three of them.
Lumine is slowly healing her stomach. Scaramouche slowly walks towards Dottore. "I'm stronger than you..!" Dottore shouts. Scaramouche smirks. Dottore runs and jumps out of the window. Lumine runs to the window and looks down, but he's already gone. Scaramouche un cuffs Childe. Lumine rushes to Childe, but he pushes her away. Lumine falls on the ground and Scaramouche helps her up.
"What is that for?" Scaramouche asks. Childe stands up and gives Lumine an angry look, then he starts to walk away. "Hey! Where are you going!?" Lumine shouts. "Oh do you need to know some you can tell others again?" Lumine sighs. "Can u at least meet me at the little cafe? Then let me explain." Childe doesn't answer he just walks out of the building.
***
Lumine sits at the café, waiting for someone to come. She looks at her phone to see if she's got any messages. But then someone sits at her table, it's Childe. He sits there looking at Lumine with a serious face. Lumine sighs and starts explaining, about her dream, and where she was, about everything. Childe's face has softened and he sighs.
He stands up and gives Lumine the sign to get out of here with him. They walk to Childe's house together, talking a bit. Then it starts raining, they hide under a little roof somewhere in the woods. Lumine is trembling of the cold. Childe pulls Lumi in a hug so she won't get that cold. While Lumine her head is resting on his chest she just stares into the woods. Childe grabs Lumine her chin and pulls her face close to his, he stares into her eyes for a while, but then he kisses her.
Then he pulls away. "I'm sorry that I was being so stupid, I just thought you had teamed up with him.. because you came just so unexpected and-" Lumine lays her hand on his cheek. "It's okay." She smiles. He smiles back. It stops raining and they walk back hand in hand. When they arrive at his house Scaramouche is with all his siblings and Paimon. All his siblings run to him to hug him. Paimon flies straight to Lumine and hugs her. "Paimon was so worried!" She says. "That ginger was grumpy the whole time." Paimon whispered.
Lumine giggles softly and walks over to Scaramouche. "Thank you for helping me." Lumine says. "It was no problem." He said crossing his arms. Lumine walks upstairs to pack her stuff. She pulls of her clothes and looks in the mirror standing in her underwear and her bra. She looks at her stomach in the mirror. Little does she know this was Aethers purpose.
She sits on the bed holding her stomach. She starts to cry. While she holds her stomach with one arm, she places the other on her cheek. Tears roll down her cheek fast, tears fall on the floor. She wants to get out of Teyvat, get back to her normal life. But she's afraid that isn't possible anymore. She tries to stay silent so no one hears her. She drops down on the floor. She goes trough her hair with her hands, she wants to scream, but she can't.
She punches the floor with her fist making the mirror drop. She looks at herself in the mirror. All messed up, what has happened? She punches the mirror, making her fists bleed. Pieces of the mirror flinch in her. There are scars over her legs, arms. She pushes away the mirror. She doesn't know what to do, all her life, everything she has done. Everything was for Aether, only for him to try to murder her. Lumine stands up. She looks at herself in the broken mirror. Traces of tears on her cheeks, covered in scars and blood. A serious emotion on her face. She looks outside the mirror. She's hopeless, so why not escape?
