Chapter Twelve: An Unexpected Response Was Met With Violence
╚⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶✞⊷⊷⊷⊷⊷╝
THE dark-haired woman slouched in the chair. One of her legs was extended out, the other propped up on the chair she sat on. She had her head leaned against her first, glowering at the man sitting across from her.
Gojo looked at her in the corner of his eye. He could tell she was pissed, not only by her expression and her actions but just by her body language. She was upset. Very much so.
"Start talking, Uncle," She said, tapping the pen on the arm of the chair. "I want an explanation."
"You'll get your explanation," He said, pointing to where Gojo sat. "But you will tell me why you brought a sorcerer into my home."
"I took a contract from him," She said, rolling the pen over her knuckles. "He's aiding me with something."
"You joined forces with them?" He hissed at her. "Look what they did to your father!"
"Yeah, and they did a good job of killing you too," She said, the pen turning into a kunai. She pointed it at her uncle. "Now I answered your question. Answer mine. Why the fuck are you still alive, and why haven't you been hunting?"
Marius sighed. "I was in the sanctuary when the raid happened. I was in the far back, in the library with a friend. We heard the attack start, and he rushed in to help the others. I...I ran from the battle. I fled from the sanctuary and ran to town. I took a cab and then caught a plane home. I learned of Adrian and Alexander's deaths when I came home."
She waited for him to continue, but only silence spoke. She moved her fist away from her head. "Is that it? Is that all you have to say for yourself? Why the fuck would you abandon the sanctuary?"
"I had other priorities—"
"What priorities were far more important than the lives of the people right in front of you?" She snapped. "Your wife and children? You would rather have fled like a fucking coward than to stand and fight for the people like you?"
"Aki, you don't understand," He shook his head. "Katelyn and the girls—"
"Would have never been hurt," She said, tightening her jaw. "They weren't after families. Only the hunters."
"But, they came after you—"
"Because I was a hunter!" She yelled, getting onto her feet. "I took the oath when I turned eleven! I have been a demon hunter for fifteen years! And I have more fucking balls than you do."
"Akeldama—"
"How many times have I told you never to use that name?!" The kunai shifted into a long blade, the end pointed at the tip of his throat. "My name is Aki, not that."
