Rerouted

[Nox]

The Ascendancy's words rose the ire of Nox's anger. He stood up and growled as he spoke. "I did not let innocents fucking die. I was on leisure time. I was at a fucking concert with my friends. I happened to be there to save a girl from being killed by a Stygza. I confessed to the murder of that thing because I was protecting my friends. I knew the kids died but I didn't know that they were targets until they were dead."


Nox sighed. "I was attacked by the Atharim. No one but Atharim died. So what fucking innocents died. I'm not wasting my gift. I'm protecting fucking humanity from it. I've been teaching myself how to fucking kill monsters so I can protect humans like I was taught. I knew the moment the Atharim found me I'd be fighting for my life. What should you do with me? I don't really know. I don't need your help with the police. Wave your hands all you want. I'm safe here. But I do you no good just sitting her unable to touch my gift. So I might as well just be in jail."
Nox's anger left as he spoke. He sighed and collapsed in a heap.

"Kill me. Let me go. Keep me here. Right now, all I want to do is be able to touch the power because I can't."


Aurora laughed in his head. "You sound so pathetic little brother."
Nox did his best to ignore his sister - like he always had.
