POV: Amber
Ajax and Axel were sitting with me, Nyx, and Talia in the basement. The atmosphere, unnerving.
"So..." I begin quietly. "Wh-when are you going to tell your parents?" I turn to Ajax.
He's quiet, so Axel speaks up.
"Listen guy's, I know this's important, but we have lives to you know. We're dealing with so much right now, between school and....well the point is just give him some time please. This can't be easy."
Axel continues. "If it's too much trouble, they could come to my house."
Talia looks at me, unnerved, while Nyx glares at the both of them.
"Just because I've lived as an experiment and treated almost like an inanimate object for most of my life, does not give EITHER of you the right to talk down about me like I'm not here. All we're asking for is freedom and respect, is that really too much to ask?" Nyx says, clenching her fists.
"No.." Axel murmurs, looking down. But Ajax leaps up, glaring at her.
"Respect, you wanna talk about RESPECT? Listen Nyx, I know you had a tough life before this, and I UNDERSTAND what you're trying to tell me, but you know what I'D WANT? Some GRATITUDE!" he yells out the last part.
Our faces pale, as footsteps are heard above us.
The door to the basement opens.
"Ajax, who are you talking to?"
"Sh2t."
"Mom it's fine, just....just.....talking to myself-"
That's when all h1ll breaks loose. We all turn around in horror, to see Ajax's mom at the foot of the stairs, gaping at us all.
