"It's a big world out there." Cas looked Tal deep in the eyes, his face utterly serious. It scared her to see him this concerned, his laughing smile nowhere to be seen. "I know." she murmured, eyes welling up. She was only 7, only a little girl, but she was smart enough to know what came next. "Do you have to?" "I'm sorry. I'll find you again, when it's safer." He reassured her. "You promise?" her tears spilled over onto her cheeks and she clutched his hands tighter, her nails biting into the backs of his hands. "I promise. And I promise that when I do, I'll never leave you alone ever again." He let go of her hands, and pulled her into a tight hug one last time. Echoing from the distant south came a deep, thundering roar. Lucas let go of her, pulled on his rucksack, and hopped back up the stony cliffside path. "I promise!" he yelled back over his shoulder, and this time Nathalia could see the tears in his eyes too. "Okay," she nodded, but he was already gone.All Rights Reserved
