The fear of leaving the camp. Of going back out in the world where you had been hurt for so long without the help of anyone. The camp had offered Kyrin a small safe heaven from the outside world. Here, he didn't have to worry about his next meal or if he'd be beaten for not cleaning the house right. He wouldn't be yelled at for talking the wrong way. He wouldn't be abused for simply existng. Erin must have felt something akin to that. And like all things, the little safe heaven was torn away from them. No one was safe. Especially them. Demigods had no power. They'd always be little toys for the Gods in Olympus to use as entertainment. He watched Erin take off away from them towards the cabin. Kyrin glanced at Spencer and Dorian, knowing they would give chase after her. She couldn't be alone right now, he knew, but he also knew that too many people would suffocate someone in a mental state like Erin's right now. Despite that, he walked towards their direction, where Spencer had managed to catch up to Erin. He stayed a bit further away, observing them for any signs of discomfort from her. He'd seen her react badly to touch before, especially from the opposite sex, and right now more any more stress might bring her over the edge. She was one of his few friends in here that knew him. That knew all of Kyrin and hadn't run away. He had to protect Erin. Keep her safe as she made him feel safe. What Spencer had said sounded straight out of a movie, but he was right. Erin couldn't just give up and give them the satisfaction of just giving up. They wouldn't let her. The outside world was scary, but Erin wouldn't be alone. Not for one second. [color=54626f]"He's right, Erin."[/color] Kyrin finally spoke up. [color=54626f]"You're not alone. Not anymore. You have us, and we will help you."[/color] His fingers twitched on his side. [color=54626f]"It's okay to be afraid."[/color] Fuck. He was afraid too, but he wasn't going to give up on Erin just because of that. [/color][/indent]
