TOAW : Hillary : How to Decieve a Nightingale

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Trigger warning is advised

Hillary stood there frozen as she was in front of Nymph, the woman looked so anxious and she could see even from their distance that Nymph was breathing shortly and fast. An indication of her peaking panic attack. Nymph's words could not register in Hillary's mind fully. They were basically fine a while ago. The fact that happiness was suddenly draped with worry makes Hillary have a great pause as she teared up looking at Nymph's anxious position.

"They were just waiting for me outside the cubicle, it got quiet. I thought they were in one of the cubicles, so I opened every single door or spaces, nooks and cranny around here." Nymph was talking too fast, her heart rate rising, air was shortening as she walks to the path of a peak panic attack. Everything was turning while Hillary's mind was turning, she was unable to fully have a reaction. Both of them peaking into something awful as they fully sink in at the thought that their little babies are nowhere to be found,

"Hillary, they're gone." Nymph's eyes were slowly watering, her voice was shaking. Hillary could only look at the woman in full hurt and sympathy. Nymph looked like a lost child, she looks around with her hands clasped together, still looking for the little figures to pop out of nowhere to run to her, giggling. She wanted this to be just a stupid prank or a harmless little enjoyment of hide and seek.

When she didn't see her little babies coming out of the room, Nymph was slowly close to be in her knees. "I-I don't know what to do, I'm scared." She breaks out her tears, frowning as she sobbed like a child.

"My babies, my daughter and my son." Nymph's lips quivered as she was completely on autopilot, she was just standing there, her whole body trembling and her mind was flaring with negative thoughts. Hillary's heart broke as she approached the woman, she held both Nymph's shoulders, slightly shaking the woman to snap out of it.

"Listen..." Hillary was trying to compose herself, she wanted to badly breakdown too but as she looks at how much Nymph could barely stand and handle herself, she took the initiative to be the backbone. To be the one who keeps the balance, she held Nymph further close to her chest.

Nymph sobbed as she shakes her head, her hair was now messy and her make up was a mess too. "No, no...they're gone." Nymph kept mumbling, it made her feel like she was being some neglectful Mother as she thinks about where her kids are as of the very moment.

"Listen to me!" Hillary whispered as she hissed and shook Nymph again, even harsher this time to snap Nymph out of it, she made sure her grip was not too much for Nymph and that there was still gentleness and care. Hillary looked at Nymph in full worry, her heart hurts to see Nymph in this situation. Nymph only pressed herself close to Hillary embrace as she softly cried in her arms. Hillary let out a sigh of relief as she hugs Nymph even more, embracing her, letting her feel against her clothes. She wanted to fully hide the woman from this cruel world.

"We're going to find our babies, okay?" Hillary softly whispered as she wiped away the woman's tears, ever so slowly letting her thumb glide against her soft cheek that is strain with tears and same lines of ink from the mascara.

" We're going to find our daughter and son, okay?" Hillary made sure her voice was soft and clear, she made sure what she said would assure Nymph to further more leap her out of the stressful situation and her as well. Hillary slowly pressed her lips on Nymph's cheeks, Nymph softly hiccuped as she closed her eyes shut while she's leaned against Hillary's cheeks.

"Mhmm." Nymph let out a strained whimper as she nodded her head to hold onto Hillary's words.

"I promise you that." Hillary assured, her whole life, her oath. She would get their kids back from whoever took them. Hillary made sure they would pay for the damage they have inflicted on Nymph and to God knows what kind of threats they're giving the kids. Hillary held onto hope, she had her light with her. The lucky charm in her embrace. Nothing will go wrong for the both of them, they will find their little ones.
