When a door closes...| LucillexMayaxNate
“But-” She was cut off and frowned at Nate, wondering why he was so eager to trust this woman. She was obnoxious, expecting them to just follow her lead willingly as if they hadn’t been locked up for years. Did she expect them to trust her? Maya followed her out of curiosity, nothing saying another word until the bag was dropped at her feet. “And we’re supposed to trust that you’re trying to help us? By giving us clothes?” She didn’t expect anything even close to back up from Nate, but she needed to be careful.
Nate hesitated before putting a hand on Maya’s arm with a genuine smile. “You’re right. We can’t trust her. But she knows this castle and how to get out. We don’t have a choice unless we want to stay imprisoned.” He let go of her arm and followed Lucille. He’d feel a little hurt if Maya didn’t follow him at the very least, but he would also understand her reasonings. He stripped down so that all of his scars and tattoos were visible on his muscular yet malnourished body.
He chose a t-shirt and some black jeans before turning to Lucille again. “Okay, Lu. I’m ready to get out of this shit hole. After that I’ll let you be.”
Lucille gave Maya an unimpressed looked and folded her arms. “ You’re not supposed to do anything. You’re free, if you’d rather not take the clothes and go back to your cell do that instead, I’m not stopping you.” she almost sounded bored. “ I’m going to leave, you can follow me or stay, or run in another direction. I don’t give a crap, but if you slow me down or get me in danger I'll make sure it’s not going to be my ass in the cell.” Lucille hadn’t expected outright thanks, but Mayas paranoia annoyed her greatly and she didn’t try to hide it.
Then she turned to Nate. “ I’ll show you the way as soon as little Miss Sunshine over here has decided if she wants to change or not.”
