Stuck in Runes

Chapter 26

{Freed POV}

I'm glad she was ok. The way she was crying and thrashing around in her sleep seemed like she was fighting... And loosing. She was ok, I won't let anyone put a finger her.

I gave up, she needed me to be a person. I can go back to being cold later but right now I can't let her be in pain like this.

The train pulls to a stop as she drys her last tears. I take our bags and we step off the train. She looks a little relived. The city hadn't changed sense I was last here. People everywhere...

"So.. Umm what do you want to do now...?" She asks me, he head tilting to the side like a confused kitten.

"Well I'm quite hungry... Would you like to stop and eat?" I ask her, setting the luggage down next to me. She looks at her feet then nods firmly.

"Did you have a place in mind?" She asks. I nod in return. We start to walk over to a tee shop a few blocks away.

"So umm... About last night..." She began a hit of red starting to consume her face.

"It's ok. Don't mention it." I say with a straight face. I walk up to a small homily looking café. I open the door letting her walking in and following close behind.

A sweet looking old woman stood at the counter organizing a box of tea bags. She looks up squinting through her think glasses. Her white hair tied back in a sloppy bun, and a small pink dress on. It looked warn. She had a pressed white apron on with a little embroidered heart in the center.

"Freed? Is that you?" She asks a smile melting into her wrinkly face.

"Yes madam Moon." I smile softly at the woman, walking over.

"My you look dashing." She grins adjusting her glasses. I have been coming her for years. Run by the same people madam moon and her husband sir moon.

"And who is this pretty young lady with you Freed? " she questions hopping off her stool, going around the counter, and began inspecting Sophia. I chuckle.

"This is Sophia. A guild mate of mine. We are currently on a mission and got here a few moments ago and wanted to get something to eat." I explain.

"Well, that's unfortunate, you too would make beautiful babies." She shakes her head walking about to her place. I blush deep red as dose Sophia. How embarrassing.

"Two shooting stars please..." I say my face still red as I fumble with my money bag to pull out payment. She writes some stuff down on her pad and almost greedily accepts the money. Ringing a bell and yelling bad to her husband who stood at the grill.
