The Ace of Spades [In Progress]

Chapter 2: I'm My Own Master Now [In Progress]

Dead.. his dad was dead, from one singular punch, he knew he didn't have long, he looked at Jean who was two.. a fourteen year age gap.. he just prayed.. that Jean would one day understand, with tears beginning to to stream down his now red face he embraced Jean, who was now also crying
"Be a good girl, be a good girl for me okay?" He said to her "Your big brother loves you very much." he remembered each moment they had together. It felt not too long ago that he was helping her get down water slides by herself, and now.. that would all be taken away.. he ran out the door with tears in his eyes, his lungs burnt as the air caused his respiratory systems pain.. where could he go? He had to get out of Wardenshire. Rizaria was probably in her college dorm.. she wouldn't run with him if they asked. Imperium was probably already asleep, and anyone else would just turn him in to the cops, but it was worth a shot. Even if by some miracle she agreed.. what then? Would Imperium come? If not then he would be completely and utterly alone, and that was the scariest thing to him.

His legs began giving as his lungs burned, hyperventilating and the liquid sorrow in his eyes didn't help, he saw the Magic College in the distance, he slowed down to save his energy as his legs, his arms shaking as he grabbed onto a railing with fatigue, it was close to nightfall but he ran to he college dorm, knocking on the door with adrenaline in every vein, pacing back and forth, Rizara opened the door after maybe a minute, wearing a short but beautiful black dressing gown 

"R-rizaria I-i-i-" He stuttered, trying to explain what happened, but his body wouldn't let him, Rizara pulled him close, shushing him and giving him a forgiving hug 

"Whoa, whoa whoa, shshshsh.. Calm down Avey, what's wrong." She said, holding him close and slightly playing with his hair

"D-dad, h-he was h-hitting Jean.. a-and I-i punched h-him and there was no pulse." He said, fear in his voice with each second, wailing in sorrow, Rizara took a moment to think.. Aeon was good person, it was for a good reason but it was still murder..

"L-look you can stay here for the night, but in the morning we have to go.. I'll text Imperium." Rizaria said, she held him closer, there was a major height difference between the two, Rizara being 6ft 5 and Aeon being 5ft 5 meant his head was in an odd position, but that didn't matter, what mattered was keeping Aeon calm, Rizaria led him to the front room

"i-i don't have much but if your hungry I could make you something." The room was immaculate, the wallpaper was red with white roses, the television was rather large and beautiful, and very clear, the lights were dim and moody, Aeon sat down on the sofa bed, Rizaria didn't necessarily have an actual bedroom. Rizaria laid down 

"Look, don't get any ideas, or do.. just don't act on them." She said with a smirk as she put her head on the pillow and tried to sleep, Aeon however.. couldn't sleep.. or atleast not for a while but when he did.. he dreamt.
