As they debated amoung themselves, Callie rose, feeling a little sick, she made straight for the cabin door, wanting the fresh air, and as much as she wanted to, she didn't look back to see if her departure was noticed. She slipped out the door, hugging herself, moving behind the cabin, and leaning against the wall, sliding down to the ground. She closed her eyes tightly, and hugged her knees to her chest. Was she doomed to be alone, forever? Was she going to lose Caius to a god? [i]And when he has accomplished what he had promised, he will ascend to the heavens, to his rightful place with the gods.[/i] If he was in Caius, Claudia... didn't it mean Caius was going to be ripped from her, like so much else? She dropped her head down against her knees, doing everything she could to stop the tears that wanted to come out. She knew she was probably being selfish, unreasonable. But... she didn't want to lose the one bit of happiness she'd had in years. Ever since her parents had died, it seemed like it was one thing after another. Was this the karma she received for not understanding the vision she had had, for not preventing their deaths? She closed her eyes as tightly as she could, rocking slightly, anything to not just fall into a ball and cry. Her mind went back to the vision she'd had when she'd first seen Caius... Was that never meant to be, that brief flicker at happiness she had seen there? Just the delusions of a young woman who had been searching for something to cling onto, as she floated in despair? or was she simply being foolish, over reacting? She sighed, knowing that she shouldn't have run off like she had, not when there was a witch seeking to kill her, or take down Caius. She knew she was putting them all in danger, and she made a move to get up, mumbling a few words in magic as she did so. [@Kyrisse]
