Sparrow watches as Adam's body glows. She desperately wanted the cloaked man to stop touching him, as his cries of pain echoed through the trees, but something told her it would end soon. As quickly as the glowing began it ended, and Adam jumped to his feet. Sparrow stood as well, stepping behind Adam and taking his hand. Her eyes narrow and she meets the unknown man's gaze. [color=7bcdc8]"You assistance is appreciated but unneeded."[/color] The words come out like daggers. [color=7bcdc8]"You shouldn't be here. Quit following us,"[/color] she snaps, her voice shaky from the earlier events. Her grip on Adam's hand grows tighter, drawing courage from his strength. [color=7bcdc8][b]"C'mon, Sparrow. Let's get to that village."[/b][/color] The words hang in the air for a moment before Sparrow nods, turning on her heel and leading him deeper into the forest. Once she puts some distance between them and the mysterious man she stops and turns to Adam. [color=7bcdc8]"I'm not really sure what happened back there,"[/color] she begins, tears glistening in her eyes, [color=7bcdc8]"but I'm so glad you're okay. I thought I was going to lose you."[/color] Her arms wrap around his neck and she rests her head on his shoulder, hugging him tightly. It had been only a day, and yet she felt like they had been friends forever, and that losing him would be close to the end of the world. In her mind she could see him fighting with the demons. In that form he frightened her, there was no doubt, but he was protecting her and there was no doubt in that fact either. When he looked at her with his glowing red eyes, she could still see him, the part of him she was beginning to fall in love with. [@Lord Orgasmo] [@GoodLuckTuck]
