Shattered Silence

Chapter 5

"Now that the power restrictions have been turned off, I can read your mind to actually know what you are saying and thinking." Loki informed.

"Oh great." I signed, rolling my eyes.

Loki consentrated and focused his gaze on me, trying to read my thoughts. I looked up at him with a smirk before closing my eyes and focusing my thoughts on one specific thing.

Puny God.

Loki shot me a glare before trying to read my mind again.

Puny God.

Puny God.

Puny God.

Loki scoffed and shook his head.

"Very funny." He spoke, a slight smile breaking onto his face. "So that's what your voice would sound like?"

I laughed silently before nodding.

You're fun to mess with.

Loki just rolled his eyes and continued on with asking questions.

"What's your name?"

Vex.

"Vex is the name the public gave you. I mean what's your actual name?"

Wouldn't you like to know.

Loki sighed.

"What made you become Vex? There's gotta be a story behind it."

What's with the suit? Got a witch meeting to attend to?

"I'm not a witch." He defended.

Then why do you dress like one?

"Hey!"

I laughed, silently of course.

"Do you work with anyone?"

I work alone. More accomplices means more of a chance of getting caught or being killed. The only way to get a job done correctly is on your own.

Loki nodded.

"What's the reason behind you not being able to speak?"

What's the reason behind you talking so much?

"Are you ever going to give me an actual answer?" Loki asked.

I just told you I work alone. That counts.

"Does your muteness have anything to do with your past?"

That was unexpected.

I forced my eyes tightly closed and stopped my mind from thinking anything. This was something I definitely did not want to reveal, or even think about for that matter. I tried my best to cover up past trauma and bad memories as best I could.

Don't think.

Don't think.

The man.

Damn it.

Don't think.

The knife.

Shut up.

The man.

Shut the hell up!

The knife.

Come on. God damn it.

Don't think.
