Summary: Simon makes promises. For [livejournal.com profile] 30_shinyfics.



"I don't want to go back!"

Simon smoothes her hair, closes his eyes, trying to smother her with his calm, soothe her, calm her. No drugs. Just his arms around her and the calm coolness of his emotions, broadcasting calm, holding back fear. "It's okay. Shhh, River, it's okay."

"They'll take me back!"

"We'll run," he promises her, rocking her a little, kissing her temple, rubbing at her tense back like he's soothing a hissing, fighting cat. "We'll run."

"They'll catch us!"

"I'll protect you," he tells her, his arms tightening around her carefully. "I'll never let them take you."
