Aria laughed at Nox’s responses. She wished she could feel his angst, his turmoil over what he was contemplating doing. Aria knew she was stinging his tender heart. He’d broken a little after his sister. Broken more than he was anyway. Nightmares were his insomnia. They’d bent a few early mornings hitting each other to wake up in the mornings. He was never good at sparring. Aria smirked.
But between one step and another Aria’s path to Nox was blocked. She ran her fingers across the wall invisible to her eyes. ”That’s not fair. You get to use your powers.”
Aria waggled her index finger at her one-time friend. Aria supposed he was still her friend. He’d promised to kill her if she ever went rogue. This probably counted - killing innocents as he said. But now one of her targets were in her sights. But not so easy to kill and he stole her weapon - her toy. She hadn’t even gotten to try it out yet. She almost wanted to pout.
”Come closer, let me use my power too.”
”You know it doesn’t work on me.”
But the wall said otherwise. He was afraid of her, afraid of her power. ”Come on, Nox, let’s play like we used to. I promise I’ll make it real slow this time. I’ll make you feel all that guilt that you have over you not saving your mother from the hellhound.”
Aria watched the pain flare in his eyes and smirked. ”Or the torment of your father dying in his own vomit. Finding your rock broken and shattered.”
Aria laughed. ”Let’s not forget Aurora. Strangled to death by a human boy. He wasn’t even special. He was a fucking musician.”
