"I won't hate you. I promise. I could never hate you."

"That's a lie, Dameien said he could never hate me either," they sobbed, then sniffled "I, I promised Luci and Madi I'd help them with something, i-if she would kill Brielle, when I, I, I-I forgot about it though, and it would be you, I'm a monster...." Ren whimpered, burying their face in her shoulder.

2015-08-10 12:40:05

●

...Oh. Her grip eased a bit, but mostly in confusion. "But how do you know..." Her voice trailed off, looking to Brielle.

2015-08-10 12:41:58

🌀

She was flinching back, she was scared of them, noooo, they /knew/ it.

Brielle caught her eye and rubbed at her own, glancing nervously at Ren. "I'm...uh...their angel?" They /did/ look alike.

●

"...Until?" Why didn't Ivory know about this? I mean, she never asked any of her friends of their past... but...

2015-08-10 12:45:50

🌀

"...they were twelve?" She /was/ asking for a time, right?

2015-08-10 12:46:51

●

Until /when/. "/What./...I'm sorry, run that by me again." She spoke. Twelve? /Twelve/ Ren wasn't 100% innocent but, they had a justifiable excuse.

2015-08-10 12:48:46

🌀

"Um, y-yeah, when they were twelve, Khasper and I both, um, he got out, and I wanted to be with him, so..." Yeah, this was sounding worse and worse.

2015-08-10 12:50:26

●

"...And not once did you ever bother to make sure they were okay?"

2015-08-10 12:51:15

🌀

"..............."

2015-08-10 12:51:32

●

She stared at her for a moment. Wow...she really couldn't believe this. Ivory looked back to Ren, and the tight grip returned once more. She had nothing left to say. What was there to say?

2015-08-10 12:53:46

🌀

"...I'm...I'm sorry," she said quietly, then stepped backwards. Seculus had moved away, towards Lance and Clarenz, to glare at the latter. "/Really/?"

2015-08-10 22:43:15

●

"I don't need the apology." She stated. "I'm not the one who has been alone since I was twelve."

I looked to Seculus. "....Would you rather us all be dead?"

2015-08-10 22:46:16

🌀

She didn't say anything. It wasn't as if anything she said could make this better. He wouldn't forgive her. And now neither would Ivory. Well...at least she cared about him.

"There's a very, very thick line between mass murder and the consequences of this particular situation," he snapped.

2015-08-10 22:53:47

●

"...That's what I thought." She went quiet again.

"And?" I did not entirely regret my decision, and I meant every word. Even if Ivory more than likely hated me.

2015-08-10 23:00:03

🌀

Ren was hugging Ivory and shaking. She wasn't angry. How? That didn't even make sense. They'd wanted to make her kill someone, and instead she was mad at the victim.

....wow. Even seeing the aftermath, Clarenz regretted nothing he'd said. He'd even made Ivory hate him, and yet he was stubborn enough to think that he was in the right sharing all of that. Seculus's gaze turned cold and he gestured with one hand to the other three. "And look what you did. You overstepped your boundaries and made everything worse than it already was."

2015-08-10 23:09:45

●

"Do you want to go somewhere alone to calm down?" She whispered to Ren. It'd probably be for the better and much easier to talk about, but she didn't want to overwhelm them. Not now. There was also the fact she wanted to put as many walls, rooms, buildings, cities, states, and continents between Clarenz and her as possible.

I shrugged. "Things will get better. This is much better than Lucinda taking over and killing Brielle."

2015-08-10 23:17:30

🌀

They nodded a little. To Australia it is.

"Yes, but only slightly. It seems like you could have easily just taken over and been pleasant, or even remained silent, but no. Instead you had to go and do /that/."

2015-08-11 03:31:28

●

She led Ren to the back room, and shut the door behind the two of them once they entered.

"...Why? Give one reason why of been nice?" I snapped.

2015-08-11 03:33:59

🌀

They still trembled, but had lowered their hands and opened their scared blue eyes again. "I didn't.....think she'd....."

He crossed his arms. "Because these are people Ivory cares about, and why /not/ be nice? They haven't done anything to you."

2015-08-11 03:44:36

●

"...You didn't think she'd actually show up?" Ivory folded her arms.

"And Ivory still cares about the people who put her in the psych ward, but that doesn't make it any better."

2015-08-11 03:52:41

🌀

"...no." They scowled. "I didn't think Luci would actually try to kill her."

"They were just doing their jobs. There's absolutely nothing wrong with caring about other people."

2015-08-11 03:57:23

●

"...It's Lucinda, though."

"I'm done with this conversation." I wasn't getting anywhere with this.

2015-08-11 03:59:44

🌀

"....but she still....why did Clarenz say those things?" they sniffled. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I never meant to....."

"Oh, /really/. You're losing the argument, so you quit. Well, /that's/ a mature way to go about things." He laughed in frustration.

2015-08-11 04:07:32

●

"...I...I don't know." She placed a hand on their shoulder. "Just...fuck him, okay? He means nothing to me, so his words shouldn't be golden."

"...." Whatever. I'm done. Seculus didn't know anything about the situation and therefore had no say in it. Did he even know Ivory that well? Nope.
