"Not until you calm down." He repeats in a sharp tone. "How can I? This is my life now! Having to control my emotions so that I don't hurt someone. Constantly in fear, losing hope in.. everything! But most of all, trying to get away from you." I say clenching my jaw.
He sighs biting his lip. He doesn't say anything.
"Now get off." I demand once again.
Finally he stands up. "Please just let me help you." He begs.
I think for a moment and I stand up "How am I supposed to trust you?" I ask him.
"I suppose you don't have any reason to. But I'm asking you, please let me help." He says calmly.
I glare at him "I'm done needing help." I say walking away. He sighs and walks beside me "Then where will you go? Home? Because sorry to tell you Kai, you don't exactly have one at the moment." He tells me.
I clench my fists and I punch him hard in the face. He stumbles back covering his nose which starts to bleed. "I said go away!" I exclaim once more.
I glare at him with my arms crossed.
He sighs and walks away.
I take in a deep breath walking in the opposite direction. I look at the scars on my body with tears in my eyes. I quickly wipe them as I continue to walk. 'What's happening?' I hear a soft familiar voice in my head. 'Kai, is that you?' I hear.
"Auden?" I mumble confused.
'Kai it's you' He says slightly surprised.
"Malcolm did this. He ruined my life and now yours too." I state walking faster.
'This isn't the first time.' He says in disdain.
My eyes widen slightly "What?" I ask.
'At first, I didn't understand what it was about him that was so familiar. After some time the memories started to come back. In a way, I'm like you. He almost ruined my life too, but then something happened. And I met Quinn.' He explains.
"This isn't right. I'm tired of it. This needs to change. Now, I can feel it, I'm stronger. I'll learn to control my abilities. I'll make him pay for what he did." I say in a quiet but determined voice.
'I would love to but I don't think it's that easy. We need to make whatever's happening, stop.' He says.
"I know. But how?" I ask.
'I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is-'
"Malcolm." I state.
'Yeah, him.' He says.
"I don't know if I can. Malcolm has done things that are unthinkable. The last thing I want to do is ask for his help." I say shivering slightly.
'He might be the only way. If he did this he should be able to reverse it. We just need his trust.' He explains.
"Gain his trust? How?" I ask.
'You have to pretend. Pretend to like him or love him even. Because one thing's for sure, he's in love with you.' He states.
My eyes widen "He's in love with me." I mumble.
