A New Verge

Gabe was running as fast as his legs could possibly carry him. He bolted down the steps, tripping over each one and dragging himself from the home with the Raven's on the hitching posts. His breath was coming out heavy, in short pants as he made his way through town. Gabe needed to move, and fast, as Kate was in terrible and horrifying danger. All that Gabe could picture was Kate's blood pouring down her neck and shoulder. Gabe remembered running over to her and pressing hard, trying to help before his uncle pushed him away. It truly was a traumatizing experience. Gabe was still suffering in such shock that looked around and literally had no idea where to go. Sure, he had only been here a few days, but when he wasn't panicked, he knew his way pretty well around. It was clear now that something was desperately wrong. "Somebody! Anybody..." Gabe spoke, tears in his warm brown eyes as he looked around, frantically. It was like he had forgotten everything in his moment of fear.

Gabe's mind immediately began to drift as he slipped into a state of pandemic panic. What if he hadn't come in quick enough to save Kate from Macy and Javi from Macy? Gabe immediately began to think of the worst possible situations as his blood turned cold.

As he began to think for the worst possible situations, he came to realization that the this was all his fault again. He had successfully managed to fuck this entire situation up. If he wouldn't have thrown a fit over Kate and Javi kissing in the kitchen, then Javi would have been with Kate. If Javi had been with Kate, then none of this would have happened. It was likely that Macy had pulled Kate up with a knife when she was sleeping. But if she was with Javi if would have been different. Gabe was now fully convinced it was his fault again. Gabe hung his head some in shame, hunching over with his hands on his knees. "Oh God....no..... I hurt my mom. It's my fault she's....she's...." Gabe hunched over further before literally throwing up anything he had in his stomach. It was unintentional, truly, but the idea of Kate getting hurt because of him made him sick.

He worried about Kate dying, but also what losing the key to their family would do to them. If Kate bled out from her injuries, Javi would never forgive Gabe. Gabe thought his uncle would never look at him the same. The fear of losing Javi and Kate made him terrified. How could he have messed this up? Somehow, it had become just about his biggest fear now.

Gabe coughed some and tried to stand up again, tears in his eyes. Gabe looked to the sky for a minute as if somehow his family and friends who were gone before him could give him some strength. "I'm so sorry I messed everything up...." Gabe spoke, making his way now to the infirmary with blurry vision of his own. When he found it was empty, due to the fact it was night time, he began to try to think where Eleanor lived. Realizing she lived in the same apartment they used to hide out in before, Gabe dragged himself over with tear stricken eyes.

"I need your help." Gabe spoke, unable to help the emotions that came from him as he hurried alongside Eleanor back to their new home. Eleanor was carrying a bag of things as she made her way inside, the stench of blood instantly hitting her nose, which caused it to crinkle. "Oh God, Javi....is she...?" Eleanor asked as she entered, seeing all the blood that was on his hands, arms, and body.

Gabe stood in the doorway, not knowing what to say or do as he slid to the ground. Gabe put his head in his hands again, muttering to himself about messing everything up. He couldn't even seem to see any logic right now, likely because of how traumatizing the situation was.

Whenever Eleanor spoke to Javi, he barely heard her words. He was so focused on Kate and not letting her die, that he found it hard to come back to reality. Javier lifted his head slightly, glancing to Eleanor. Eleanor, who was the last person in this world he wanted to seek help from. He still hasn't managed to forgive her yet, and this seemed to be an ongoing thing. But now, he needed her more than ever before. He had killed Dr. Lingard in hopes to get Clementine some answers. This left Eleanor as the only medic, though after this Javi wanted to get trained himself. "No...n-o of course not. She's...she's breathing." Javi spoke, almost clutching Kate a bit protectively to him as Eleanor implied she was dead. "She's a lot stronger than that. /My/ Kate." Javier spoke, moving to stroke back her hair now as Eleanor came over and immediately began to help.
