She stopped moving when his back turned, waiting as he spoke. There was something horrible about his laughter - familiar, though she couldn't remember how or when she'd heard it before. A sinking feeling took over her stomach and she had to dig her fingernails into her palms to stop them from shaking. The problem was he was right - even when he turned back towards her, she shuddered slightly, from the combination of guilt and the look on his face. She'd messed up - it was her fault, again. "I just wanted everyone to be safe," she said, her voice just above a whisper. "You too."

Her eyes darted to the plaque reading it for the first time. It didn't make much sense to her, other than the slight irritation that she wasn't the Phantom's Lady and they weren't star-crossed lovers. Ella was Beauty and they couldn't hurt each other. Everything else was a blur.

She looked back to him, biting her lip before saying a bit louder and a bit more firmly. "And I wasn't terrified of you." At least, not in the same way. Wariness was more accurate. She took a step forward, as he and Ella faced off but then turned around, setting her chin. Her eyes fell on the vines, before her eyes met Ella's. "Leave him alone, Ella. It wasn't him and you have to stop. Can't you see what you're doing?" Her voice cracked on her, but she looked to the other woman - the one she didn't know. "I'm sorry." Because she didn't know what else to say.

"I think you need to come up here and read this - both of you." She bit her lip once more before turning back to him. She had to fight to keep eye-contact, but she stepped forward again - close enough to touch him, but she didn't. "Nobody is no one," she paused. "Bran." It fit him, she thought. Better than Trevor did.
