Layla smiled sadly at Doc Jane.
- Whatever do you need my blood for?
- Just protocol. The king has ordered blood samples from everyone in the household
T’is a lie, she thought. But she was too exhausted to fight the good doctor.
- Ah… Layla?
- Yes?
- You ah… the date of your nee-
- I am well aware of that. I shall come to you for the drugs, as usual.
- Have you talked to Xcor-
- He may be my Hellren, but I will never go through another needing again. Ever.
- Layla-
- Not a word doctor, I beg of you. It… the pain… it is just too much to bear. Even after all this time.
- Oh I know Layla, but…
- If you have finished taking blood from my vein, I believe we are done here.
Jane nodded, then added softly;
- Just think about it, okay?
- I cannot. I find it in myself that I simply… cannot. But thank you.
Layla walked into the tunnel with a sense of dread and was surprised to find the male waiting for her right outside Jane’s lab.
- Hey Layla.
- Hello Qhuinn.
Silence.
Well didn’t that sum up their relationship for the last few decades.
- Goodbye Qhuinn, I must needs go, Xcor is…
- Upstairs with the Brotherhood.
- Still I…
- He can wait. Talk to me.
- I have nothing to say.
- Come on Layla.
- I… I cannot speak.
- Why not. It used to be so easy. We were the best of friends, remember?
- I do not wish to remember!
Her voice raised of it’s own accord, and so did his.
- Why the hell not?
- Because it hurts! It hurts to look at you and talk to you. Everything about you reminds me of what we lost and I cannot allow myself to remember because it will break me. I am truly sorry Qhuinn. I bid you farewell.
