Wren's labyrinth

Nova's Fear

Nova scrunched her hands into fists,

"They fucking took Wren.."

She collapsed to the floor and for the first time in a while tears began to fall down her face, but this wasn't the time. She couldn't reminisce she had to find Wren.

Wiping her eyes she stood up, they talked of a facility, but— the only facility near them was.. no.

"THEY TOOK HIM TO TYRANT!!" Nova screamed. The feeling of numbness Wren always talked about started to prickle at her skin. Then there was something else, it shook her soul and her Seeking eye opened.. this had never happened before. The feeling circled in her gut clouding her eyes screaming, RUN RUN RUN!!

Like an animal caught in a trap howling and snapping at anything to even look its way all out of.. fear.

fear..

This.. this was new.

Nova despite everything had never been scared, she always thought of things differently, found a light in the dark blah blah blah metaphors sickened her. 

Nova's mind tuned it out, keeping her happy instead of safe.

But now it consumed her, fear.. its all she could feel.

Tyrant.. she never feared him, but what he would do to Wren.

Tyrant was the lord over the Seekers, he may have just been mortal but he knew more than he should have. Celestial abilities? Maybe, but he had a away for everything, he would leave no stone unturned. 

His facility was home to the 'trials' and 'fakes' nobody knew what either of these were but, knowing Tyrant, it couldn't have been an enjoyable experience.

Nova walked towards the facility fuelled by anger and her memories of everything Wren had done for her.

The shape of the building was coming into view, it was a large dome panels of tinted glass lining the roof turrets mounted on little elevated stands. How the hell was she supposed to get to Wren? She approached it two wyverns coming into view they were eerily still eyes sunken to the point you couldn't see them, frill cut down to the base of their necks. Nova stopped something rising within her she couldn't explain it, the fear had come back despite this.

She walked towards the facility.

The wyverns remained unmoving even as she ran her fingers over the door, they just waited there. 

Frozen.

The door opened with a hiss almost beckoning Nova in with open arms. She took a weary breath walking in, the wyverns moved they blocked of the door watching her as the mechanical doors sealed.

Nova just stared back, she didn't have time for eerie wyverns or weird doors right now. She walked in the general direction she felt a pull from Wrens Seeking eye, the pristine white walls making her sick. She turned a corner to find a holding cell. She could hear screams and snide remarks coming from inside.

"Well you're ridiculously weak for surviving that attack," a voice sneered.

The doors opened.

A girl walked out she had fresh blood splatters all over her chest. She seemed to pause for a moment something flashing across her face.

Nova didn't know if she was hallucinating or not but she swore she blushed.

"WHERE IS WREN!" Nova heard herself shout.

The other girl seemed to smirk and turned to Wren who to Nova's absolute horror was lying on the floor a deep slash on his chest under his seeking eye.

"Wren you didn't tell me you knew such a.." The girl paused Turing back to Nova took her hand and kissed it.

Nova felt herself go red in the face with rage or was it— no.

Nova took her hand back and shook it as if that would undo what just happened.

"What the hell- Who are you!" Nova shouted as the other girl stepped back a bit.

"I'm Echo, but you can call me what you want~" Echo sneered doing a little bow mocking her. Nova just stood there looking over at Wren who was now sitting up in a puddle of blood, she ran towards him but Echo grabbed her arm. 

"Just let me help him!" Nova pleaded trying to free herself.

"You don't understand do you, this is a test watch," Echo sighed as if everyone already knew it, Nova looked at her what creature is this.. 

Her eyes drifted back to Wren who was now standing his Seeking eye open and pure white. He rushed at Echo hands outstretched. He looked cryptic, his arms bent into unnatural angles jaw open to an impossible position eyes blank. Nova thought he was lunging for Echo but he hit the gas pipe behind her sinking his teeth into it, a green mist engulfing the room.

What had he done.
