Burning Impulse

In the dark

- The past is a tricky thing. Sometimes it’s etched in stone. And other times, it’s rendered in soft memories. But if you meddle too long in deep, dark things, who knows what monsters you’ll awaken?

When I walk inside the old cabin, I see Aiden packing our things. With his jacket on thank God that would just be to awkward for luna if he didn't.

I welcome Luna inside.

Without looking up or noticing Luna.

He just sadly says in his british tone "We need to leave, its not safe here any more."

"Aiden, this is Luna diaz." I tell him moving my hand over towards her.

He looks up and looks very startled, like he's seen a ghost.

"Taylor can I talk to you for a minute?" He asks not taking his eyes off of Luna.

"Do you know who that is?" He asks In a very angry tone.

"Yea, luna diaz, the desperate, scared, lonely, hungry girl in the woods" I snap back at him.

"Try fugitive!" He yells back at me.

"Hey hot stuff, cool down. Besides im a 'fudgitive' too." I snap back.

He looks around trying to find the right words to say.

"Look, I dont need two fudgitives to look after"

"Um, do I need to remind you, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 5 YEARS NOW! I THINK I CAN HANDLE MY SELF AND IT'S ABOUT TIM...." I yell before Luna comes out.

"Is there a problem here? Because if so I..I can leave." She shes looking very startled. "Yes," Aiden says. "No," I say at the same time.

Aiden gives me a death stare and I just smirk. He rolls his eyes and speaks up.

"Lets go inside we can talk this over." He tells us both.

We enter the house and Aiden grasps my arm. "Let me deal with this ok?"

I nod obediently.

He tells Luna to sit on the floor and she does. Aiden sits on the foot of the bed and I lean aginst the wall.

"Spread your weapons." He commands.

She obediently spreads thoughings knifes, two daggers, and a compound bow.

"I'll take these, just untill we know we can trust you."
