[DROP] No time like the present

Rex had no idea who all knew Alistair in this crowd. She also had no idea that his ex-wife was also there. All she knew, was that Alistair stood beside her, challenging her with his arm in his. She flashed him an amused grin, tilting her head slightly. “I might.” She replied back to him with a wink, replying to his word that if the creature made them jump he’d do so. Nude, of all things. Yet the creature began to move again, stepping forward and the creature was so quickly gone that Rex had blinked and missed it. Her brows furrowed together in confusion, when suddenly the box lid opened and orbs began to float out of it. She watched as some moved toward Remi, her heart lurching with the idea of him being punished again before more began to move toward her and Alistair. She paused to see it absorb into others, become other things entirely, and when it had reached her, the balls of light were nearly warm as it billowed and became one with her. She couldn’t marvel at it long before Alistair had gathered her attention again, her sapphire gaze snapping to him with a raised brow as he began to undress. “Alistair!” She chided, realizing the creature hadn’t made them jump and so it wasn’t that necessary he follow through. But he continued, undressing and bundling his clothes in his arms all while his dark eyes remained with hers. He spoke, and Rexanna wanted to laugh at the absurdity of his reasons. “You want to live forever?” He questioned her, winking, kissing her, then plummeting. Her eyes widened and air wooshed out of her chest as she moved to the side of the bone bridge, not even spending the time to look around at the others gathered to see if they had noticed. “Damn you, you idiot.” She hissed under her breath, peering into the fog to try and see a glimpse of him. When there was nothing, she shook her head, her heart beating a thunderous roar in her chest as she, too, stepped onto the side of the bridge. Pinching the bridge of her nose between her eyes, she counted to three rapidly and stepped off the bridge. She was a fool, but a fool who’d do anything to make sure those she cared for were okay. time stops still and lends you hope that hazy due, so black so blue wash away that fear, a cloud of smoke whatever lets you cope
