"We should really get out of here," Glow said. Even trapped in my misery, I could tell that none of them had really absorbed what I was saying. We were all too shook up from the battle and the losses we'd suffered. I couldn't do anything but cling to Flare. "The police will be coming and if we're found, it's going to cause a lot of trouble."
She and Blaze stood up. Flare tried to lift me off of her so that she could stand up too, but I think I lost it a little. I remember crying her name and grabbing onto her even more tightly, refusing to let go for even an instant, utterly terrified that if I let go she would vanish. It took both her and Blaze to get me on my feet and even then, my legs didn't want to work right. They kept folding under me and I would have fallen had it not been for the two of them.
