Bad News "Hi, Elai, this is Shepard Ryan, Rhedefre's guardian,"
"Listen, 'm sorry to call. Rhede found Luka this morning -- I haven't gotten the whole story out of them, but there's been some kind of accident, and Luka's been injured. He's awake, but he's got a pretty deep cut over his eye and down his face, and I'm fairly certain he's concussed. We called the Lab and we're going to take him in to get checked out and get some stitches, and I thought you might meet us there."
The Aussie's words echoed in Elai's head. Something had happened, and he hadn't been there to protect Luka...
A strange uncomfortable sensation welled up in his chest.
Had he just failed his duty as a guardian?
Reaching for his keys, Elai took out the apartment. He shoved the wave of bad emotions growing in his chest. There wasn't any time for this right now. He had to be by Luka's side right now.
Heaving a deep sigh, the acupuncturist started the engine before tearing down the streets of Durem.

Fear In the corner of the nightstand, the neon green writing of a digital clock read 6:00 AM. From the apartment foyer, the sound of shuffling was heard followed by the soft click of a locking front door. Elai was leaving for work.
But, he was not the only Ferenan awake at this hour. Luka got out of bed and shuffled to his own restroom. He found it hard to sleep well these days. He found himself waking up early or sleeping for 2-3 hour bursts. He found solace in being awake, and knowing what he would see and what he would run into.
In the day, there was light. And, the light illuminated everything in his path.
Flicking the bathroom light on, Luka stood in front of the mirror and took a long hard look. The redness and swelling was gone now, however the scar tissue remained. There was no change in size, no fading. He couldn’t open his right anymore, not that it mattered considering he couldn’t even see out of that eye anymore.
He’d been looking at his face for a little over two weeks now, and he still couldn’t get used to it. This was not the face of Luka, the carefree youth. This was the face of Luka, a person who was suffering. While the physical pain was gone, he still found himself waking up to phantom pains and nightmares, night terrors even, in the middle of the night. The first week had been the worst, the Frei had screamed so much that the neighbors had repeatedly called the police on them. Even Elai had struggled, unsure of how to help his charge. And then, the older man had realized that this was one of those situations where he really couldn’t do much and just had to wait for everything to pass. He just had to wait for Luka to come to terms, and deal with it.
Raising his hand towards his face, the Satyr’s hand trembled as he touched the scarring on his face. Two weeks, and it still felt like a foreign growth attached to his face. At first he’d tried to scratch it off and one night he’d even woke up to himself trying to gouge it off with his own nails. Every time, his guardian had stopped him and it had resulted in the Frei screaming and yelling at his guardian about how the older man was torturing him. Those interactions had been the hardest for his guardian, to be a parent and see your child suffering while being unable to completely take away the pain and heal him.
Luka brushed the creme colored locks out of his face. It was terrible. Ugly. Disfiguring. But, it was a part of him now. There were no more scabs, just bright pink new skin. His body was physically recovering, but he still felt shaken and disoriented mentally and physically. Tracing the scar from the tip near his hairline to the end at his jaw, the Frei found himself clenching his fists. No matter how much he wanted to get ‘used to it’ like his body was, there was no way he could bring himself to simply accept it. Taking one last look at his scarred face in the mirror, the Frei let out a shout of frustration before slamming his fists into the mirror.
A loud crash echoed through the apartment as the mirror shattered, pieces of glass raining onto the restroom tile floor.
LuLu didn’t just take his face with her. That night, she robbed him of his innocence and peace of mind. There was no spot of darkness where Luka didn’t imagine the swirling inky body of LuLu rising up to attack him or the dark thoughtless eyes that gazed at him tauntingly from the shadows. Even in his own home, Luka was not safe.
Letting out another guttural yell, the Frei repeated slammed his fists into the wall.
He was frustrated, angry, and confused. But there was no one for him to share his feelings with or even take out his emotions on. Elai did not deserve that kind of abuse, and running into LuLu would probably only send the Frei screaming in bloody murder. Pushing his bangs out of his face, the Frei stared at the bloody messy wall where a large white mirror had once been.
In the distance, he could hear approaching police sirens.
His gaze traveled down to the floor littered in shattered glass.
He was not ready to face himself or anyone.

After Thoughts “Luka, is everything alright?”
Elai let out a soft sigh. No response, whatever had happened when the Frei had gone out had clearly upset him. And while the acupuncturist’s gut reaction was to break the door down and make sure his charge was okay, he knew in his mind that Luka needed to process whatever was bothering on his own first.
“If you need anything, I’ll be in the living room.”
—————————————————————————————
Luka sat in silence, staring into the gloomy rooftops of Durem.
Strange how the room seemed to reflect his mood so well today.
The Satyr curled up at the window seat, brooding over today’s events. Was this what people called a cruel twist of fate?
How had he managed to run into her of all people? And, why did she have to recognize him? More importantly, why did he have to run into her when he was finally starting to process his emotions?
Letting out a frustrated sigh, he ran his fingers through his hair. Today’s encounters had brought a surge of old thoughts and emotions. And now that he was having to process them again, he found himself being listless and exhausted.
This whole time he’d spent his days cursing her, hating her. He’d cycled through feeling bouts of anger and depression. Followed by frustration, hopelessness and even restlessness. For the first couple weeks he had repeat nightmares of their encounter, and her attack, only to awaken by the searing pain at his face and sweat drenching his clothes.
Then today, she had shown him the human side.
The part that he couldn’t hate. The part that had comforted him at the fair.
Letting out an exasperated sigh, Luka buried his face in his hands.
Why did I have to run into you today of all days? I was finally transitioning back into normalcy, and you just had to ruin all that. Just when I thought I was free, you showed up to chain me back into that nightmare. What did I do to deserve this? I just wanted to hate you and forget you, and you, LuLu, you had to come in and apologize. You had to tell me that you suffered just like I did. I was supposed to be the victim, not both of us..
I wanted to be able to see you and take out my anger on you. I wanted to show you how much you hurt me, I didn’t want to know how much you’d been hurting as well.
Heaving another sigh, Luka stared out the window. Had LuLu suffered as much as he had? Or, did she suffer even more than him? He had only been attacked physically by her. From what she told him, it seemed like she had attacked those who were close to her. And, she truly did seem to regret her actions.
Was Elai right? Was it better just to forget her transgression and move on?
Even Luka had to admit that the emotional turmoil he had dealt with the past month or so had drained him. And at this point, it was simply leading to a physical exhaustion. Would he feel better if he simply accepted the fact that the whole ordeal had been the result of a wrong place, wrong time incident?
The satyr shook his head.
No. Even if he had been in the wrong place at the wrong time, LuLu did not deserve to get a free pass at destroying his face and confidence.
But… on the other hand, LuLu did apologize for her actions. And, even the Sigel had mentioned the regret and self disgust she’d felt upon realizing what she’d done. So, would it be petty and childish of him to not accept her apology and put all this behind him?
At the time she’d said those words, he had been too angry about seeing her. But, knowing that her actions had hurt her as much as it had hurt him, the thought weighed heavily in Luka’s mind. He knew that Elai would want him to be the bigger man and move past this, but what if he wasn’t ready? Would his guardian be disappointed in him? But, did it matter if Elai was disappointed in him? Elai couldn’t understand or know the pain he’d gone through. So, how could he even begin to process the situation or even known what the acceptable thing to do was?
Heaving another sigh, Luka leaned his head against the wall.
If he forgave LuLu, would all these emotions and turmoil go away? He wasn’t ready to forgive her completely, but at this point, he was drained. He just wanted to be… Luka again. Luka without the scar, Luka without the nightmares. Luka that did not hate, he wanted to be the Luka that wasn’t bitter towards people.
He wanted to be the Luka that forgave people and moved on.
Opening his eyes, Luka threw open the window and shoved his head out the window before shouting at the top of his lungs.
"LULU I FORGIVE YOU."
And, he knew he was doing the right thing. The thing he should've done from teh beginning.
