There was only one thing Iyra hated....
There was only one thing... that hurt her of course cuts hurt but, We are talking the kind of hurt that scars the kind of hurt that doesn't leave ...
It's when the people she cared about got hurt.....
So... an otherwise quiet night in the abandoned district of the lanes..... was torture..Especially, listening to Jinxes nightmares ... the dry screams that come out more as squeaks....
"Shh...shh.. it's ok...." Mumbling whatever comfort she can hoping it reaches Jinx and her subconscious...
It's a soft knock on the door frame
Veronica with a woven basket full of gears and excess parts.
It's the first time Iyra has seen Veronica in about a month or two (Only Downside of her Marrying a Ferros is that there are ... social obligations.)
"Hey... My wife wanted me to drop off some supplies. If I'm being honest though I wanted to make sure you were ok? We got word of the infighting down here. Up there at the Ferros estate... She was worried I am too... Is Jinx okay?""I don't know Sil... brought her here last night..
He said she was .. almost... Uh...unalived.. but he wasn't letting that happen... so he did what he had too to save her...he has himself worried he's hurt her Worse...being that close to death.. can be traumatic.
Which obviously is a worry ,because of just how much she's already gone through.
At the same time she's made it through all of that. She'll make it through this too. She's always been tougher than she looks.. which of course ... I hope she doesn't have to be one day.I just hope...That that ache that ... dull and constant pain that she keeps as a pet will heal. Although perhaps I'm hypocritical.... "
"Not hypocritical you just try to heal everyone and forget you try to heal everyone else ,because your hurt too. They both know that better than anyone... "
"She's better than a lot of people Veronica..., I get she breaks the law but .... Sometimes the things we are told are so "obviously right." End up being obviously wrong if you think about what it does to other people...
I thought ... I used to dread teenagers.... Reminder of Home I guess. Jinx is different though. She's better than the teenagers I knew. Sweeter. She's better than me as well she can be hard on herself ... intentionally or just her subconscious being mean... but she doesn't understand exactly how incredible she is.
She's like me ... like I was... I just she's been through enough. I ...If I could take her back in time to ... meet the younger less scarred version ..: of me... if I could have the heart without the scars just for long enough to give her the advice she needs Is do it..."
Iyra explained..._____
Iyra wasn't a stranger to nightmares ... not in the least bit. This however this wasn't a normal nightmare whatever, this was ...hell.
It starts of the way most of Iyra's Memory dreams do ...Being exiled. Ending up alone. Getting to know Veronica and Peyton. An overly charismatic Vander with a half assed plan. Silco ...the real Silco, not the crime lord or hard ass persona.
Silco ;Who Has a ridiculous ,but sweet system to arrange his socks by color.Silco who's hand would accidentally touch her and he would apologize like he had blasphemed
Silco who hated her guts for along time....
Silco who ... Learned a good deal of her language just so she wouldn't feel alone. He still writes his notes to her in her language..
Overly pristine signatures in overly pristine ink.
The Silco that that literally would save up to rebind books when they were younger.In this nightmare she didn't make it on time During their rebellion. Vander, had succeeded. Vander killed Silco. Vander would wish it was Silco he had to watch out for.
