Chapter 37: The right choice, or a mistake? Day 17, morning

There was nothing she could really do about this. Now that they were here, she needed to say something that would make them stay. She couldn't let them go out there and get themselves killed.

She wasn't sure what happened that ended up getting them killed, but she wasn't going to let that happen again. She cared about Riggs, and she couldn't let him die if she had the chance to stop that from happening.

She had gone through so many deaths at this point, she didn't want someone that she cared about this much to go through the same amount of deaths, even if he wouldn't remember them.

At this moment, they both were looking at her, probably expecting something from her. She wasn't sure what to tell them. Should she try to use their heat to keep them here...?

No... No, she couldn't ruin her relationship with Riggs like that. She didn't care that much for Rus, or her own body. She already used it to get herself from bad ends, to keep herself from needing to go through with favors and many other things... But the friendship she had with Riggs, that was something she needed to protect.

What else was there to do? Spending some time with him? Stars above, what was that going to do? It will probably just anger them and say that they are busy. She already tried that before, before Riggs died and he said that he really needed to go, saying that they will hang out later on... That was not a good enough option.

Well, maybe the true answer to keeping them around would be, be honest with Riggs? And Rus, of course... She had a feeling that the mysterious skeleton was going to keep killing her until she saves both of them and that will get very painful and annoying... She was lucky he used the strangulation method this time... She was scared to see if he would use the head-bashing or slow bleeding out next as punishment for her not doing what he said for her to do.

"I..." She started, before taking in a deep breath. "Feel scared... I know, it might sound stupid, but I just don't feel safe here!" She said, catching both of their attention.

"Back home, I had people always around me. It was either Echo or Hickory around me and walking me back home. Or I was at work and knew that no one would harass me there, but here? I don't know, I just don't have anyone to really... rely on?" She said, trying to figure out how to say this to them.

"I would love to go back home, but I'm scared that those two aren't in their right state of mind... And I don't really know... Honestly, when you Riggs arrived, I felt like a huge rock was lifted off my shoulder." She said, seeing that Riggs seemed to have a proud look on his face, as a soft blush appeared on his cheeks, but it seemed that she was losing Rus already.

"And you too Rus. Honestly, the past two days that you've been hanging around me, I felt pretty comfortable, actually not being too afraid of being here. I just... I don't know." She said, feeling good that she had both of their attentions on her right now, be it that Riggs had a sort of angry look whenever she talked about Rus.

"I honestly feel embarrassed and I know that you two must be really busy but... I really, really, really would like it if you two could be with me?" She said, before correcting herself "For the time being, of course. I'm not asking you to follow me back home when the heats are over and all that" she said, letting out a weak laugh.

She needed to convince them, of course, but the last thing she needed was to give Rus the wrong idea. She already had too many people who liked to pretend that they were together with her. She didn't need anyone else to add to the list.

"...Forget that. It sounds really stupid. You guys are probably really busy and I'm just wasting your time right now" She said, grabbing her hand, her hands shaking as she held on to her forearm, as she looked to the ground. She hoped that this was going to catch them in her trap.
