---A FEW YARDS AWAY — 

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6n2zeScTC

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

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8NQKl2AaG

Rose: (snapping)  

“What was THAT about!?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUAI4NlEpa

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

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxUko9KBAt

Metro: 

“She’s twisting everything I told her.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPubSx62JyH

Rose glares at him—burning, betrayed.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUEFewjei0

Rose: (arms folded)  

“What happened between you two?”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Eqe9FcR6p

Metro sighs, shoulders dropping.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsde5mPUqK6

Metro:

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

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHmq6MSeYg

An uneasy beat.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZYO4ADGog

Rose shakes her head, disgusted.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOH2Cj292V

Rose:  

“I don’t believe you.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45mU7KNCPQ

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

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXN0IR9q05

Rose: (accusing, low)  

“I saw you two…  

sitting together by the campfire.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz3225DvUr

Metro’s hands come up, pleading.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsaR4DX7rS

Metro: 

“That was nothing.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstpAOBPS4f

Rose reads him like scripture.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroieK6VWTA

Rose: 

“Don’t play me.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniaGv7utaX

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

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0kLPt4wf0

Metro:(quiet, intense)  

“Play you?  

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt65bOBCCW9

…Don’t you trust me.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AbTK754r3

Rose’s anger softens—slowly, painfully.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vbJ59aD6F

Rose (looking down)  

“I’m sorry…’

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iP6JgBcfd

‘…I just hate her.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk6JLFNpBu

Metro: 

“Don’t say that.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9nfcBvjg9

Rose lifts her head, eyes sharp.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHJjUwv2Xg

Rose:

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

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3N1xf4ttN

She steps closer, searching every part of his face.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QrihpcGQo

Metro stays gentle. 

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY6f9pQDHg

Concerned. 

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH47Wav252

Silent.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qUN041Udv

Rose :(soft but deadly)  

“Exactly.’

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFzA6DBkAX

‘I can sense danger out the gate.  

Off the rip—I don’t trust her.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL485uQCLCF

She holds his gaze.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTxQI4nLc

Rose:

“She may smile hard and toss her hair around…  

but I’m not buying it.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NmGkit4w9

A beat—hotter than hell.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbVcPyLOEY

Rose  

“Stay away from her…  

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YlGV92MRJ

…or stay away from me.”

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpTqr00qjW

Metro stands there—hurt, shocked, confused.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUCyffhWj

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

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2QNCt64UW

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.
