Phoebe's Chlorofiends managed to block any blows and attacks, and she stopped to create more, having them defend well. Trying to take the plant that was Nicholas down was hard work, but she knew they had to continue. Why? Because it was the right thing to do. Didn't mean that she had to like it.
Things had been going well, with Nicholas. And now this. .Because he let himself be controlled. So foolish.
She bowed her head after a moment, shocked at tears stinging her eyes. Why did she ever think things could go alright? Whenever they were ate their best, things just happened. Was she going to lose everything she never thought she could have, because of this? She looked up, wiping away a few stray tears.
"nicholas. Please....stop this. You're just going to end up hurting us all" Then, suddenly inspired, Phoebe spoke louder. "You're just going to end up pushing Devika further away. This is going to do you any good with her! I know you don't want that! Please! Stop this!" she stepped closer to Nicholas, leaving the safety of her Chlorofiends. "You're just going to make her think you aren't worth it! Aren't worth the trouble of letting you in! And right now, if she saw you, that would probably be what she would be thinking! I know you're hurting! I know you felt abandoned by mother! You don't think I didn't? She tried her best! Did her best! When she saw a chance to get you out, she did! And now you just let yourself be taken back by your father! Don't let people think you're weak, you're a coward! Don't let Devika think that!"
The words just tumbled out, and she felt horrible for them, but she didn't have anything else to use.
"Please..." A sob escaped her at this, but she didn't back away.
