Promise! Yes, I promise.
Panicked and awestricken, Ryley loosened his clutch around her at the moment. The dark surroundings just added to his panic when he tried to examine the area. There was no one around, his night vision could not deceive him; however, he could not ignore her say too!
"Who, who died! And who are they!" he asked, holding her shoulders.
Although it was impossible to see his face, her blurry vision and the pain roaming in every vein of her body made it difficult for her to see his face. Valen gasped, pushing him away with her weak fist. Oh, yeah, why wouldn't she push him away? He is their leader after all. Who knows, it was him only who ordered them to do this.
"Go away, just go away. I... I don't want to talk... I am... Please help." She was wriggling to shove him back away from her. She was scared badly. Even that she was not in her senses and seldom realized what she was saying or doing.
Just the good part was— she had not passed out even though she was thrashed, leaving infinite scratches and wounds on her body. "Ehh, hey, hey Valen! It's okay, you are fine. Please don't get scared. It is me, Ryley!" Trying to cool her down, he shot his hands up, surrendering to her.
She slowed down her grunts, moving away from him with great difficulty. "Go away. Go... Go away. I... You sent them... You told them to beat me. You are bad," she shed tears woefully, hugging her arms.
Her blood pressure was rising, he could feel her body turning warm and heartbeats increasing. She was too scared to calm herself down. Ryley needed to do something.
