His grip finally lessened and Aria gasped for breath; she could see the terror on his face and she sent more, pushed harder. His breathing became ragged. She'd seen it before, but it hadn't registered. The reporter before Dane hit her. Aria smiled up at him with darkest intent.
Her hands were tied with plastic zip ties behind her back; her feet were bound and she could hardly do anything.
Aria spoke sternly, "Get off me and out of these, and I'll make it stop."
As she spoke she changed the feelings she sent him - feelings of desire to do her bidding to make her happy, to obey, because he wanted to. He wouldn't know the difference anymore. He was hers.
It took a moment for what she said to register, as if it had to pass through layers and layers of pain. The thought made her smile. The longing for release was clear and he moved as if he was a child, obeying his mother's wish. He seemed weak as he walked to the counter and got the knife and cut through her bonds. He waited, the hope and pleading on his face growing painfully, as if she held his future in her hands.
Aria rubbed her wrists and gave her new pet a bright smile. You rewarded your pets for good behavior after all. She reached out and ran her fingers gently down the side of his face and made sure that he felt every bit of longing she had once felt. How much she'd wanted Dane to touch her - to touch him. The anticipation itself was great.
There were answers she needed, she at least remembered that. If she killed the man without answers Nox would be pissed. And that was something Aria didn't want to do, she couldn't exactly remember why she didn't want to piss off her friend who stood outside. But it was a strong emotion that kept her on task.
Aria moved close to De La Cruz and spoke softly, "Tell me, Diego, where is Aurora? You remember her don't you?"
Aria brushed her lips against his ear. "Tell me the truth and you won't feel anymore pain."
Aria gave him a fleeting moment of the said pain to come if he lied. She felt his body arch with the pain. The fear lanced through his body. "There is only more of that if you lie to me."
Aria pulled back the pain, but she left it lingering on the edge, he knew it was there, but he didn't feel it outright.
"She is dead,"
he said, hope in his eyes. He wanted to please her and knew that his words would do just that. "I transformed her at my cabin. I made her a goddess, forever floating, forever free."
He didn't feel ashamed. He seemed proud of it, as if he had done something good and beautiful and wanted her to know what he was, what he could do.
Crushing pain lanced through Aria's body, she didn't know if it was her's or someone else's. She couldn't find it, couldn't place it. The knowledge tore at her, the little control she had left crumbled underneath the strain. Aria had made a semi-promise to the man in front of her, but that didn't mean he wouldn't die the same way. She'd once killed a boy with a kiss. Happiness was just as deadly. She had one more question. "Where is her body?"
Aria fought back the pain that tried to invade her body. Aurora was dead. Those three words echoed in her head over and over again as Diego gave her an exact location. Precise directions as he looked longingly down at her.
Aria wanted to carve this man's heart out for killing Nox's sister - for Nox. But she fought that desire. Fought the darkness. He would die there was no doubt about it. Aria gave the man one final smile as she laid both hands on his face and pulled his forehead against hers and she pushed every happy moment she had gathered in her life, those around her, every single moment Nox had of his sister she pushed it violently down the connection to this man. She could feel the weight of the world pressing in on them both.
He sank to his knees and Aria went with him. Pushing more, falling deeper into that world, into the pain that was overloading the fragile heart. Aria could feel her own near bursting as the final breathe left the man's body.
Aria gasped for breath as she pulled herself from him. Pulled her emotions back to herself. There was only one feeling throbbing inside of her. The one focal point, the pain of loss. Aria curled up next to the body and cried. Cried for Aurora. And cried for Lucas. Aria whispered, but she knew Nox would hear. "He's dead Nox. He's dead."
