Alex blinked at the use of her half-sister's name. This was no coincidence at all. Nothing today had been. Alex felt bad for Connor, and she couldn't believe she was going to defend the girl. But she was untrained. "I don't think Aria knows what she is. She couldn't live among the Atharim and know. Her mother was Furia. A strange talent for smelling emotion, most the violent types, more crime stuff. The furies from myths and legend are what Autunna Luna told my father, and he passed down in tales to us to scare us into behaving."
Alex smiled at the childhood memories. He did care, but he was so very wrong too.
Alex sighed. "She may be more like my father, but you don't feel for her now? It didn't last. My father likes to induce fear into others, not because he wants to be feared. Its like this hunger. A hybrid, like my father and Aria tend to feed on the negative emotions. The rest of us can fill the void with anything, usually we feed off each other, it's part of the family dynamic. But my father, he can't. Not unless he wants to hurt us. And he did when I was younger, but after Autunna Luna came, he stopped."
"She scares me. The things she can do, the people she's met. One in particular, he scares me. And the two of them together is frightening. You wouldn't know how I could find her would you?"
Alex didn't want to say why, but her father would be so very happy and he'd be out of her hair. That would be precious.
