"Oh… that sounds like me." Lloyd sat up, holding his throbbing head. "Are we going back to class now?"

“No Lloyd,” Lillian was gentle but firm at the same time, “Your going to the hospital.”

"W-What?! No no no, I can't go to the hospital! They'll kill me!" Lloyd tried to get up to run.

"Lillian, he's right." Belle piped up from the doorway. "He'll never survive in a hospital, it's too dangerous for someone like him." And someone like you. For multiple reasons.

"People kill things they don't understand…" Lloyd struggled against Lillian's grasp, shaking violently.

"Ain't that the truth." She muttered under her breath. She was used to being hunted by now.

Lloyd could hear the sirens approaching and panicked. "No no no no no… p-please… don't let them take me!" He started hyperventilating and broke away from Lillian, dashing out into the hallway.

"Lloyd!" Belle grabbed his wrist. "We won't let them take you. But you need to calm down."

"T-They're gonna kill me…" Lloyd slowly sat down in the corner and drew his knees up to his chest, still panicking. "Or they'll… they'll rip out my wings…"

She kneeled in front of him and forced his head up to make eye contact. "Stay with me here. Focus on me. Just relax. You'll be okay."

Lloyd looked at Belle, his vision shifting in and out of focus. "B-But I'm scared…" He whispered shakily. "I don't want them to kill me, or… or experiment on me… or anything…"

"Lloyd, they won't experiment on you because we're not handing you over to them. You're okay. Just breathe."

Lloyd nodded a bit and tried to take deep breaths, but he just got worse when he heard them coming into the school. "N-No… they're coming for me…" Lloyd crossed his arms over his knees and hid his face in them.

She sighed quietly, desperate times call for desperate measures. She grabbed his wrist and snapped, shimmering them onto the other side of the school. "There. That'll buy us some time."

"What… w-what're we going to do now? They'll find me eventually…" Lloyd's wrist trembled in Belle's grasp.

She smiled to herself. "That's what you think. It's known that if the EMT's can't find the victim they were called to collect, they'll just leave."

Lillian had just stood there, extremely confused. She watched as the EMT’s entered the office, ask her where Lloyd was, then leave after she gave them a shrug. What was up with them?

Lloyd nodded nervously and fell silent, staying close to Belle. He was glad he wasn't the only one who thought the hospital was a bad idea.

She hugged him softly, getting the same motherly feeling that she used to when she was taking care of her sister.

Lloyd held his breath to force himself to slow it down, but that just made him more lightheaded than he already was. He leaned weakly against Belle while they waited for the medical personnel to leave.

"Just relax, everything's going to be fine." Probably. Hopefully.

(Belle just sorta adopted him XD)
Lloyd nodded again, watching the hallway nervously to make sure they weren't followed. Eventually, he heard the ambulance driving off.

(He's her son now and she loves him 😂)
She sighed quietly in relief. "There. See? I told you everything would be okay."

(Yep)
"Y-Yeah…" Lloyd allowed himself to breathe, but didn't move away from Belle.

"Tell me when you're ready to go back. I know you'll need some time to relax."
