The air was cool and the camp silent. Tents once full of life now barren and cold. I turned to Bess“What the fuck you mean you a leaving?” She sighs and doesn’t meet my eyes “ I am going home, back to ma’s shop. Settle down for a bit”  I look at her like she lost her mind “Look I know things are bad but we can rebuild it be hard but nothing we haven’t done before. We just gotta get John out of his funk” bessy interrupt “I already talked with him he agrees the eagles are done” I was taken back. John agreed , John the optimist John who hasn’t spoken to me in three fucken days. The anger must of shown on my face cause bessy said “Look, you should come with me I sure ma would love to have ya” I scoff “yeah sure settle down with what skills, I am sure she need some who can turn people into mist “ bessy replies “moze it no “ I interrupt “ no it is like that. You don’t just get to make me fell welcome, give me a home and then when it gets tuff give up.” I huff “you don’t get to give me hope then take it away. I thought you would know that better than anyone” 

Bessy looks at me sadly “I am sorry Moze I can’t be who you think I am “ I clench my fist  and go to say something but stop. What was the point?  They already made up their minds. The twins had left the day before with only note as goodbye. John won’t talk to me and now Bess is leaving? Maybe it for the best. Maybe I deserve this. I shouldn’t have tried to be more than I am. My arm drops and my shoulders slump as I turn away from Bess “ Do what you want Bess “ I say voice hollow “ you don’t need my permission “ bessy reached out “Moze wait” but I was already walking away. I never saw her or John  off the next day. Couldn’t handle it. Me and giztac traveled a bit till we reached the neck and split. He has some family in saltmark he was gonna visit. I headed to verdantien. I don’t know what I gonna do now but I am sure there be some work there. Something to heal or hurt. Something for a nobody to do. Right?
