"Miguel." Yva whispered. "What did you do to Mrs Paige?"
"Mrs Paige never have existed. It was all ME"
"You... you're a monster! I gave you all my trust, I loved you! You're a family. You're all I got!"
"Wrong. It WAS Mrs Paige"
"What the hell did I do? I was the one who fight, against all odds, just to survive. All I want is to live. I don't care about any of this. I did nothing!"
Miguel paused like he was thinking about what she just said, "Quite right, but the part where Arnix lets you work here ALONE was quite not clever."
"I don't have it."
He let out a laugh.
"Don't mess with me Yva."
"I-I really don't have it. I don't know where it is."
"Give it to me!," Miguel turned around quickly and throws the ceramic cup hitting the wall just behind Yvanna.
Miguel leaned on her and placed his hands on the either side of her seat. Yva's tears began to form.
"I really don't have it"
She doesn't want this life.
"I-I can't find it"
All she ever wanted is a family
"I-I'm sorry" Tears are falling down.
All she ever wanted was Arnix.
"I'm sorry if we never let you feel our love."
If only she could rid all of her powers.
"You're a great brother to me." She really misses her brother.
May be she can live peacefully.
"I love you. We all love you" She can never stop crying.
Get married
"You're the one who taught me how to ride a bike. How to swim. You defend me from bullies. Dad should be the one who taught that things. But all he did was to teach you. Isn't dad's attention enough to prove that we did love you?"
Have 3 kids, maybe 4.
"I thought we're family"
Watch them grow up.
"I thought you love me as a sister as I love you. You're my partner. My twin. My knight."
She wants to die on her husband's arms
"STOP IT!" Miguel shouted. He was crying too.
"You can change. You can be my brother again. Please stop this—"
Before she can finish the sentence, Miguel slaps her so hard she can taste her blood in the corner of her mouth.
"I'm incapable of change" Miguel hissed.
The silence broke when they hear several knocks on the door. They diverted their attention.
"Yva?"
"Well, look who's here" Miguel whispered before standing up straight.
"Arnix!" Yvanna shouted.
"Shhhhh" Miguel held out a finger to his mouth.
"YVA!"
Fire crawls on Miguel's body until the Mrs Paige she always knew was back. The Miguel turns Mrs. Paige walks to the door and opened it.
"Arnix" Miguel said with an old woman's voice.
Outside, Arnix was perspiring, his breath were fast.
"I'm just checking if Yva's ok." Arnix said.
"She's alright."
"Yva?" Arnix looked at her.
"Yes, I'm fine."
Miguel walks to get some cup of tea.
Arnix looked at Yva, once again, then at Miguel. Yva slightly shook her head. Miguel's too powerful. They can't beat him.
"Why don't you sit beside Yva and join us for a cup of tea?" Miguel asked.
"Sure." Arnix entered and sit. Miguel faced his back to them, acting like he was too occupied with the tea-making.
"I was just visiting Yva, to get something she borrowed a long time." Miguel said.
Miguel turned around, holding two cups of tea that didn't stop from boiling. With a blink of an eye Yva was already in front of him.
"I didn't owe you anything." Yva calmly as she held her hands to Miguel's neck, which appeared to be aged like Mrs Paige.
Miguel felt something cool from her touch. Something hot was climbing inside him, heating and burning him from limb to limb, slowly his appearance came back.
"The ring, you have it all along" Miguel said and let out a small laugh.
"I'm so sorry my dear brother, but it looks like I already wield its power"
"That's impossible. You don't know how to use your own power. You cannot wield it!"
"Please understand that I'm not gonna let you do what you want. I want a life, Miguel. A life without all of th-this crazy things." She said.
"Arnix." She called. "Now"
Arnix walked near them, put his hands on Miguel's chest; right above his heart.
"What are you going to do?" Miguel asked, his mouth was trembling from fear. Yvanna was the powerful one this time.
"I'm going to freeze your heart, I don't even know if you have one, until it stops beating. You'll be unconscious and dead for days, weeks or I don't know. I haven't tried it on humans yet. But rats stay dead for a month I guess." Arnix explained like a doctor concerned about his patient.
