AFTERMATH-Lydia & Lauren
Lauren had been so incredibly blind during her time in Lawrence. Blind to the true nature of the man that she clung so desperately to, who had taken her under his wing and led her astray down a path that, while familiar, was also painful. More so than she had realized until it was far too late. It was in the midst of this battle she knew so little about that she found herself fighting in that she realized just how wrong about Hal she had been. Used as a shield, she was wounded, though not fatally. There were only a few things fatal to her kind, but that didn't make it hurt any less.
The betrayal, though, that was the worst part of it all. She had trusted him so fully, so completely, so blindly and where had it gotten her? Lying, bleeding and abandoned, in the middle of a battlefield left for dead.
When Lydia knelt down next to her, it would be an understatement to say that Lauren was confused. Bandages, disinfectant, why was she dressing her wounds? "What're you doing?" she asked, confused.
