There was a certain air about Connor this night, not only where they celebrating, but he was saying good-bye too. Ayden was happy to share this moment with him. It was a special night.
Connor said he'd do anything, there wasn't anything really that Ayden could think of that she wanted to do, not really. Staying in bed, or luxuriating by an indoor pool sounded fabulous to her, particularly with Connor around. But she'd been to Saint Petersburgh before and was sure she could find something to do with their time despite the chilly weather.
The music was not her favorite, but she could feel the vibe all around her. Everyone seemed to radiate the same thing. Ayden felt like a stranger in a strange land. And she was, most of the people here were several years older than her. Not that she was a spring chicken by any standards, but she felt out of place. But Connor, he was mesmerized by everything
Ayden enjoyed the music, and the holo acts were pretty impressive. From what she could tell, everyone was happy with that little surprise.
At the end everyone was in a daze. Hung over from the memories. It was an interesting phenomenon to view for Ayden. Connor was much the same. But now he said good-bye, he was all hers. Their life could begin fresh, for both of them. It was a good thing.
They left the stadium as quickly as the crowd would let them, by which was at a snails pace. Ayden didn't mind. She got to hold Connor's hand and snuggle up to him as everyone left the building.
They walked back to their hotel. It was cold, Ayden had wanted to walk. It was quiet in the streets, the lights making the falling snow sparkle. Ayden walked with Connor's arm wrapped around her shoulders. She liked being close to him.
The shadows moved in front of them, it was pure instinct when Ayden embraced her gift. The night grew clear, the alleys wreaked of the days garbage, Ayden could almost see every detail in every snow flake that fell from the clouds above. The shadow became a man with a gun just before he jumped out in front of them waving his gun and shouting. "Money and valuables."
Instinct was all that Ayden had, she quickly wove fire. The ball of fire built into her hands, but Ayden blinked at what she was about to do and released the ball and instead wove air and thrust the man backwards with it. He gasped for air and looked at Ayden with fear. She smiled at him. It had felt good! She missed the violence of her job. The fear she had instilled in men. But those days were gone. She looked at Connor as the man fled the scene. "You okay?"
