Ayden nodded when Connor confirmed the identity of the man. He then proceeded to punch the fellow. Connor bent with anger to get the rifle he had dropped. Ayden let him. But she wasn't going to let Connor kill this man. Connor was a good man. He didn't need to taint his soul with murder of the vengeful kind.
It might be therapeutic for him to do so. But Ayden couldn't let him do it. She put her free hand on Connor's arm and shook her head. She hoped he'd understand.
Ayden could burn the man alive, but the smell of burning flesh and the deed itself was not fast, the authorities were soon to be here. She could do any number of things but what was quickest and easiest to get away with was to make it look like natural causes. Ayden dropped the fall of fire and started weaving a net that she could wrap around his heart. If the gift could heal, it could easily kill. Ayden didn't quite understand what she did, but it felt like it had been natural, though she had never done it before.
The man lay helpless at their feet unconscious. Ayden wrapped her net around the down man's heart and crushed it. It may not look like a heart attack on autopsy, but they'd have hell explaining it none-the-less. The sudden pain in his chest made his eyes pop open and he gasped for breath. It was quick. Ayden wished to make it longer, but there wasn't time.
She turned to Connor and frowned. "Let's go home. He can't hurt us again."
