Neomi Adams
"Wha..." she whispered to herself.
That was definitely not
just a train. Her eyes studied the situation, looking at the creature that had just vanished after the mysterious gunfire. Her hand pulled on the strap of her backpack as her top teeth scraped her bottom lip.
That
was a rue! Again, her eyes studied the space in front of her as she put two-and-two together.
She can't see rue! A small breath of air emitted from her lips in what some could have considered exasperation and others might deem annoyance.
Why didn't she tell us that...? Neomi paused for a moment and continued her thought before jumping onto any more trains of conclusions.
Or maybe she's getting to that. Neomi looked around at the others, Toni and Sasha. Sasha's revolver was still out. It didn't necessarily fire anything, but she
saw something. This was kind of a lot to take in.
Okay, I can do this. Again, Neomi played with the strap of her backpack. She might as well say something since nobody else was. Her top teeth grazed her bottom lip, again.
God, I'm so freaking nervous. If she had her own gun, she'd shoot herself with it. She was an
adult! Yet, she felt so much like a child in one too many ways.
"I--I think there was a rue," Neomi said to Yiya. "And we-or, umm... Sasha? She fired a gun at it, and it disappeared." She looked back at Sasha and then at the poor guy who just showed up. There was something awkward about him, and it was not just that he had arrived quote-unquote semi-late to the game.
Not that this is a game... "And, yeah, I definitely have a lot of questions," she quickly added and looked back at Yiya.
This was going to be one helluva ride.
