Safe For Now

[Nox]

Nox leaned his head against the bar at all the questions being asked. He sighed as he looked up at them, Sterling was starting to panic. "Sterling, you need to calm down. If Juls helps you everything will be fine. But you need to listen to me." Nox was calm in his voice. He knew how this felt. How the end of life could trigger a melt down. "Aurora used to tell me that the power was soft and bright and that if you succumbed to it's power you would be happy and content and the joy of life all around you."

Nox sighed. "It's not like that for me. It's a torrent of power, surrender would tear me to shreds. It's about control and iron will. But you can do this Sterling." Nox tried to get up. He wasn't situated right to use more of his body than his arms to get started. His body was sore and the pain was deep even more so after the fall. Nox wanted to get up but he was frustrated and growled. "Juls please just help her learn, I can explain everything else later. When Sterling's parents get here they are going to take her and we lose this chance. Please." Nox begged.

Juliana sighed, "I don't know what to do."

Nox sighed. "Tell her how you do it. What it feels like. Just talk to her." Nox tried again to get up and failed miserably. He growled in fustration.
