No Good Deed

Jigano requested that he speak as if he was writing in the chronicles book (a project that, given the sudden chaos of Longnight, he was yet to start). From the beginning. He wasn't sure if he meant the beginning of Sam's Longnight or of Isla's death... but to be sure,  Sam started as early as he could. "Well. I d-didn't see Isla when I f-first arrived. I know...Remi went t-to see her. We had a fi-fight because she...she bit him." The argument was forgiven now,  in the past, but a little bit of hurt still came through his words. "Then....it was c-calm. For a while." His version of this story was incomplete, but he could only give his version. Sam didn't know enough of the magical stone Remi had given Isla to mention it, didn't know of the histories all his friends had with Ludo. "Then...I...a-and some others. Left. B-because a Luxere came to the window. It n-needed help. There was a hu-hurt one." Sam shut his eyes and tightened his hands into fists,  hating this memory. "Isla...sh-she went to help it. But...a monster... like a worm.  C-c-came out and into her...mouth. And..." Tears began to fall down Sam's face,  the first proper indication of distress about the events. "I saw it eat...her. From in-inside. It was...I...I wish I had not seen it. But then.. then I ran. P-please don't think ba..badly of me. But I could tell she was dead and I...I was sc-scared." He looked towards the alcove where his and Remi's blanket pile was then to the door. "I t-told Remi she was dead and not to go...but... but he tr-tricked me and trapped me in here and went f-for her. But maybe it w...was good. Because he br-brought her back. As....a unicorn. ...I think it's pr-probably her, but I don't enti-entirely trust it yet. " With the story told he sat back against the bench and hoped he wouldn't be judged for running or told his story was incomplete again. Samuel He took a step but then felt tired He said, I'll rest a little while But when he tried to walk again He wasn't a child
