Finding Aurora

[Nox]

Everyone was getting pissy now. It wasn't bad enough that Aria was in a bad place but Connor's reaction while properly placed could have been avoided. Aria wasn't herself and Nox knew this yet he'd not stopped her first. Why was this day so shitty?

Nox could barely think straight but he felt the cool tingle of a woman channeling and looked over at the fiery goddess who was doing god knows what to Aria. Her voice was white hot but Nox didn't wait for Connor to react to his girlfriend's request. He grabbed his own power and put a wall of air separating the four of them, Ayden and Conner on one side ,and himself and Aria on the other.

Aria appeared to be struggling against bonds of air. Nox thought he could cut them if he could see the weaves but he wasn't going to go haphasardly chopping away at things when Aria was sitting underneath.

Nox wanted to be angry. He wanted to yell at them but he was void of any and all emotions right now. Aria had come back to find Lucas dead. Aurora was dead - killed by a psycho son of a bitch that Aria killed. Bas was likely dead and now there was fucking power trip going on between two people who couldn't even know each other. Nox spoke softly lost in emptiness. "Everyone just chill out."
Nox looked up at Ayden. "Let her go. No one is touching anyone again if I have any say in the matter."
Nox tied off the wall of air and wove a brisk breeze in the car like someone had opened the car door and then shut it quick like. "You might be strong goddess, you might be weak, but do you want to test your mettle against mine?"
It wasn't a threat, but it came out that way. "You will not touch Aria. Aria will not touch either of you. She will behave."


Aria glared at Nox and he smirked at her. "Just doing my job, Duckling."
