Elizabeth hadn't minded the time spent for dancing, though it was slightly strange to see William turn serious all of a sudden. She was already slightly dazed from the strobe lights going on and off as they did, but tried not to let it phase her any further. She was expecting something to be said, and had tilted her head slightly in hopes of hearing William easier, but no words came.<br/><br/>But William hadn't been going towards her ear if anything to get closer for a better chance of hearing, he was going towards her neck, and he noticed this immediately. But instead of being able to step back and flee as she naturally would've, she had frozen on the spot, not from anything restraining her, but rather she was shocked. He shouldn't have been going for her neck...<br/><br/>Right as she could easily feel his breaths on her neck from how close he had been to it, of all things to happen, William seemed to have been punched. Very nearly yelping in surprise she jumped, and when she looked to see who it was, she felt a stab at her heart to see Aleksey. Why was he there?<br/><br/>“Choose life,” She could hear him over the music, but now she wasn't as shocked with William, but rather as to why Aleksey was there. He had ignored her, abandoned her, but now he was there again. And it was easy to notice the sadness that had crept into his eyes, and tears very nearly came to her own eyes, but she couldn't get herself to speak, not even in a whisper.<br/><br/>“Go. Run.” Elizabeth heard him again, but just shook her head. She had a family now... But then why was he here? He hadn't ever done anything that would've harmed her.. Except for ignored her. She looked as though she was trying to speak but she felt a lump in her throat and couldn't choke out any words still, looking as timid as ever now that he had showed up again.<br/><br/>She had started inching towards the door to leave, but stopped as William had launched at Aleksey, and she gasped just like everyone else. She tried telling herself that she shouldn't care. Aleksey had left her. Abandoned her. But the Footsteps wouldn't do that, right? No matter what she tried convincing herself of, when seeing William hold Aleksey down like that, his hands around Aleksey's neck, Elizabeth couldn't take it.<br/><br/>"Stop!" She had cried out at William, quickly trying to shove him off Aleksey. She'd be lying if she said she didn't have feelings for Aleksey still. She might've shoved him from her mind, but he was always in the back of her mind, and she always noticed when she spotted him, but always shoved him back out of her mind just the same.<br/><br/>"You're going to kill him!" She added in another cry, though highly doubting she'd be strong enough to shove William off unless he was willing. Then again, she could always tackle him.. But her body was so light she wasn't sure if that'd do much, either.
