Running with Revenge

𝓊𝓃

"She wore the moonlight

like lingerie"

When Lace was sure that Val and the others were out of sight, she ran to Jonah who was in the car, waiting anxiously.

"Lace..?" Jonah asks but is interrupted by Lace getting in the car,pulling the car shut,

"Drive. GO!" Lace curls up on the leather seat, pulling her knees up into her embrace.

"Lace what happened." Jonah questioned the small girl who is clinging on to her bandana and a pair of glasses for her life. He gets no response as Lace's sobs overpower everything. Jonah getting more and more anxious by the moment and Lace drowning in sorrow.

"Lace answer me!" Jonah starts to demand which seems to make Lace cry more,her eyeliner dripping down her swollen cheeks.Jonah decides that he's had enough and starts to drive into one of Lace's favorite parks. Jonah gets out of the car and puts his hands on the hood, breathing in deeply and slowly walking to the other side. He wordlessly takes Lace out of the car and lifts her up, setting her down when they reach the beach. Jonah takes his hand and sets it on Lace's face wiping away her tears.

"Princess, what happened?"Jonah says hearing the girl next to him take a barely audible breath.

"They.."Lace starts to sign but becomes overtaken by a fresh set of tears.

"They what princess?" Jonah urges her carefully.

"They killed her."Lace signs. Jonah immediately pulls the small girl into his embrace as both of them sat under the stars that shone with sorrow just for her.
