235 Scar's Lullaby Sebastian left his room soon after, and the host moved on to the items following. Everything seems to be falling back on track, but everything feels wrong now.
One luxurious item after another gets on the stage, yet not getting the attention they deserve. The fight over Frozen Night is too tic, and the audience can't help looking at the items as more boring than they actually are. Ava is back. An invisible wall between her and Jack Fuller as they fall back into their seats.
Scar is not even in the mood to enjoy that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSebastian was the one falling for a liar. Sebastian was the one who gave that liar access to their house. Sebastian was the one willingly giving up his everything for a ring that he gave up in the first place.
But for sreason, Scar feels horrible.
She couldn't even pin it down, but she just can't enjoy her win. Something tells her - well, shouting inside her soul that he doesn't deserve this. She tries to argue with that voice, but she couldn't find all the rage that was inside her before.
Shouldn't she be happy? Now that she successfully lashed all her anger out on him? Now that she destroyed him? Now that she inflicted all the deserved pain on him for his mistakes? So he never actively tried to hurt her, so what? So he tried to make amends even before he found out about Ava's lie, does that make a difference? So he forgot that he granted Ava access to his house when she hadn't shown him her true color, does that make him innocent of the death of their baby? She couldn't answer any of these questions.
A different kind of emptiness washes over her. She's not familiar with it, but she recognizes all the symptoms of panic attacks she used to have a lot. Having trouble breathing and seeing straight, Scar jumps up and pulls the curtain close before she slides down the wall in the corner, gasping for air.
Why doesn't revenge taste sweet and delicious like she imagined? Why does it hurt her so much when she only gave him what he deserved? How could HE trigger a panic attack when she doesn't even care about him anymore?! That last question scares her.
No! She doesn't fucking care about him! Not anymore! She has cared about him too much for too long, to no end! It's just too painful to love that man. Too much more than she could bear! Alice! She needs Alice! She needs to hear that clean voice, and cast away the darkness that's swallowing her! Breathing becomes harder. Scar grabs her throat, reaching for her phone. But what's only on the table several feet away feels as far as the skyline. Her fingertips shake only in front of her with the distance not reducing at all. She can't make it. Not in time. Scar thinks as her world turns darker and darker. But right at this moment- Knock, knock.
The voice on the door attracts Scar's attention.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Scar?" Damian's voice comes as if through water, "Scar, you in there?" She can't out a voice large enough for him to hear.
Desperation grabs Scar.
If only Silco didn't leave. If only she wasn't alone. If only she had anyone close in on her revenge. But now...
"Scar? I'm coming in!" Instead of leaving, Damian turns the knob, and the next thing Scar knows, Damian picks her up in his arms. But he is not hurrying out of the door, instead he hums while patting her: "Hush little baby don't be scared, mama's here to through the night..." The lullaby shocks Scar as much as it soothes her -
Scar's panic attack throws her down a deep dark hole. She would be forever falling, suffering the loss of gravity, and couldn't wake up until spre fainted. Her medical team found that out with hardship. The only way to put her out by external force is by singing this lullaby to her. They discovered this by accident when Alice sang this to Scar in one of her episodes. The question is, how did Damian know?!
Closing her eyes shut, Scar's oxygen-lacking brain couldn't form any actual thoughts. So she just buries her face in his chest and focused all her mind on the lyrics.
"Hush little baby don't be scared, mama's here to through the night. The thin sweat fades, and Scar's breath finally calms.
