Ad Astra Per Aspera

Chapter 5

I hate being suspicious about things, but damn that gut feeling is always right.

Blaze POV

I want to murder her.

Fuck the plan.

Fuck the ideas.

This woman is so fucking infuriating. She undermined me in from of my fucking students. And the level of audacity that she possesses. I don't think it's worth it. My suffrage isn't worth it.

I would say I will kill her in her sleep, but she will probably haunt the mansion for the next 20 years.

Maybe I will drown her in the ocean, or drop her somewhere in the Arctic.

She is riling me up, I need to get my shit together.

"Let's go, I want to show you something." Keep it cool, keep it calm, do not show her how annoyed you are.

"Why do I have a feeling like I won't like it?"

"Oh you definitely will not. But you need to see it, you need to remember your past." Maybe it will also lower her level of audacity.

"My past? If there is something that I forgot, it's probably due to childhood trauma. I'm not sure I want to remember that."

"Do you ever just shut up?"

"Ouch, that's not nice."

"I am not a nice person."

"Which is strange since you are a husky."

"The fuck does that even mean?" Is she just calling me a dog? And why a husky, I am more of a rottweiler.

Oh great, now I am calling myself a dog.

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, don't let her rile you up.

"You even look like one."

Oh fuck her.

"Oh fuck you, you, pigeon!" Did I just really call her a pigeon?

Astra freezes and scares at me, her eyes wide, and then she starts breaking down from laughter. "A fucking pigeon" I can barely understand her because of how hard she is laughing, "the best insult you could come up with was a pigeon!"

"I want to kill you."

"Get in line," she is still laughing, "it's long, you know, I got many feathers."

"Arcane! I am fucking done with her!" It's time for him to deal with this shit.

"I don't know why you are complaining, you kidnapped me, it's your fault that I am here being the light in your life."

"More like pain in my ass. Anyways, remember your past so we can get over it."

"What the hell are you talking about? I remember everything, maybe even too much. And I can tell you right now, it wasn't that great. Daddy issues."

"Really? Tell me what happened when you were 18. When you were sent on a mission by your dad."

"How do you know about that?"

"I know a lot of things. Don't avoid the question."

"My father sent me undercover, but they knew who I was, they tortured me for the information and then my dad got me out."

"And how long you were there."

"3 days. I came in the morning, at night they got me, the next day they tortured me, the day after I got out."
