---A FEW YARDS AWAY — 

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqSrIgRgSE

Metro sets Rose on her feet near a stack of supply crates. She jerks away from him, cloak whipping in the wind.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdP1E3XJem

Rose: (snapping)  

“What was THAT about!?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwRRFGsJQX

Metro plants his hands on his hips, breathing hard, expression tight with concern.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xp1lW6mmH

Metro: 

“She’s twisting everything I told her.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC56TsdEZjz

Rose glares at him—burning, betrayed.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CPrVaQFVh

Rose: (arms folded)  

“What happened between you two?”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKPq2s1Usb

Metro sighs, shoulders dropping.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGyvrWYKnr

Metro:

“I told her I wanted her to stay because we need her. Because we trust her…”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4cYR748H4

An uneasy beat.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkekWJJhojj

Rose shakes her head, disgusted.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVbtwQCTkg

Rose:  

“I don’t believe you.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVjG88VRgT

Her eyes flicker black—twice. Metro’s breath catches. He steps back a fraction.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNCL5BzoE4

Rose: (accusing, low)  

“I saw you two…  

sitting together by the campfire.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp2a6DFASW

Metro’s hands come up, pleading.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7slL1PMFu

Metro: 

“That was nothing.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvLHZuoNyy

Rose reads him like scripture.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3KgTxKPV0

Rose: 

“Don’t play me.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsjayi1PGm

Metro steps closer—into her eyes, into her storm.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo2gFCTXdW

Metro:(quiet, intense)  

“Play you?  

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNqs4jJ1DL

…Don’t you trust me.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiqp9MIfEt

Rose’s anger softens—slowly, painfully.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs1W2xdL6e

Rose (looking down)  

“I’m sorry…’

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa5HNlve2Q

‘…I just hate her.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukXVwXEge3

Metro: 

“Don’t say that.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkhXzQ2gnx

Rose lifts her head, eyes sharp.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSvLVoXSPQ

Rose:

“I’m saying it. What if one of your friends hit on me? You wouldn’t like that at all.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCSmGz5g5m

She steps closer, searching every part of his face.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a6ueKyNjI

Metro stays gentle. 

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHOYhTJBRF

Concerned. 

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxboxQfLWX9

Silent.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hWC4UkRoS

Rose :(soft but deadly)  

“Exactly.’

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw5j7f62cY

‘I can sense danger out the gate.  

Off the rip—I don’t trust her.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZjroQJMI9

She holds his gaze.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3MyPUJq60

Rose:

“She may smile hard and toss her hair around…  

but I’m not buying it.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXezrvXYWW3

A beat—hotter than hell.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MOJjlVU3K

Rose  

“Stay away from her…  

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yWy5oX3zY

…or stay away from me.”

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YVn3Kc6eT

Metro stands there—hurt, shocked, confused.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7DeCm1bS4

Rose turns and walks into the falling snow, blonde hair flowing behind her like a banner in the wind.

64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU8EEn8Ohp

Metro watches her go, breath shaking, the cold settling into his bones. He stands alone in the snow for a long moment. The world feels muted. The cold bites deeper than usual. He presses a hand to his chest—steadying himself—then turns toward the main hall.
