Lucas wavered knees weak, his head throbbing madness tickled the corners of his mind the way it had before he and Emma had locked that hallway door. Resisting the urge to walk towards the boy was easier than he expected. Still, he had to jerk his head to one side to avert his gaze wincing at the pressure behind his eyes. This close. You couldn't just casually glance away from their faces. An act of will was needed and that had just never been his strength. Maybe Emma was right. Maybe he should go back for the gun. He couldn't save the boy. No one had ever been able to do that taken was taken. And as far as anyone knew that things looking out through those eyes were unaffected by what happened to the bodies they took. They could not be banished but the windows to this world, those could be closed.
