Ebony Wings: Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Aidan

"Is he awake?" Theresa asked Paul, the Forsaken keeping Aidan company in the infirmary.

-Infirmary was too nice of a word to describe it. It was just a room they had tossed Aidan and the other Forsaken in.

"No. He's still alive though, so that's good." Paul replied.

"And- her?" Theresa folded her arms and pointed her chin towards the girl in the corner.

She was trapped in a glass box, hugging her knees and her face buried in them. She was chained to the floor by Stygian Iron chains. The black, horrifying metal was meant to drain life, that included energy and powers. The chains would hold her- hopefully.

"She's- fine. If you can consider her condition to be fine." Paul frowned. Theresa could read his discontentment, with both his sister's treatment as well as his.

Theresa was mad. She was mad at the unanimous votes from the camp to coop the Forsaken in the basement of the Big House; that included Aidan, treating him like he was like those...things. She hated it!

She wasn't freed from the judgement either. She was a child of Hemera, still a weirdo, still a freak. The only reason she wasn't cooped up as well was because Hemera was considered to be 'good'.

To think about it- Hemera is Nyx's daughter. So that made Theresa Aidan's niece-

Theresa shook her head, better not to think too much into it.

"Well- call for me when he does wake up alright? I'll be in my room."

"Yes Ma'am." Theresa stepped forward and kissed Aidan on the forehead before she turned and left.

Aidan

"She's gone. You can get up now."

Aidan opened one eye to make sure before he sat up. "Thanks."

Flying-bookphobic frowned at him. "Not wanting to talk to your girlfriend so you pretend to talk asleep? That's low dude."

Aidan frowned at him. "Whatever. At least I'm not scared of flying books."
