Safe For Now

[Nox]

Sterling put the lotus on the counter and Nox watched Raffe. He just wanted to go be alone - with Raffe, he hoped. But the pain was making his head spin.

Julianna grabbed him and yelled and the spinning made everything swirl. The hunger inside grew to a crescendo and Nox growled. the ow and gutteral sound made him step back too fast and he slammed into the bar rail and his back jammed into the bar itself and he collapse to the ground without the hand to catch him. "Fuck!" came out before he could stop himself.

Juls rushed to him and Nox shook her off. "I'm fine. Important things first, my arm later. This is Sterling, she can weild the power of the gods - channel is what you all call it right? She's like you. You need to teach her. She used the power earlier unknowingly and I don't know how many times she has done it before." His voice sounded pleading. Which was better than pain filled or hungry with things he couldn't control. Nox sat there in a heap on the floor leaning against the bar and let Juliana process the information and Sterling too.
