Summer wavered, putting a hand on the wall, then sank back down to curl up in a little ball. Maybe it was the stress of trying to escape, or the uncertainty of what she was running from. Or just the clarity and strength of Isaac\u2019s emotions. Holding a hand out, she watched it tremble. \u201cI\u2019m not hungry anyway. I w-won\u2019t be in your way much longer.\u201d The muscles in her legs jumped, and she curled up tighter, hoping to hide the tremors.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Isaac watched her, concerned she might just fall on the ground; she didn\u2019t look steady. \u201cAre you okay?\u201d he asked, approaching her again.

“H-he never tr-tries to bother me at h-h-home,” she said, desperately trying and failing to suppress the trembling. “I d-d-d-don’t know wh-why.” She had to clench her jaw to keep her teeth from clicking together painfully. Almost all the major muscles in her body were jumping, nerves firing randomly with the overload of emotional energy. “I’ll be fine in just a minute,” she forced out through gritted teeth, and then made the mistake of looking him in the eye. Her spine bowed sharply as the convulsion took hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
