Mission

(POV-Aurio)
I switched directions, heading towards I different section of wood. Sighing, I stop. "Would you like to walk? Want me to answer questions? Anything?" I asked softly. She sighed tiredly, crossing her arms. "I just... I don't understand anything anymore..." She muttered. She gritted her teeth in pain, most likely a headache. I sighed, looking ahead and kept moving. "We're almost there. I'll tell you now, we're not going to Palenta. We're going to go to my house since it's much closer." I mumbled, treking onwards.

She looked up at me, confused. "Wha-?" I heard her hesitate. She made up her mind fairly quickly. "Okay..." She whispered, following. I looked back at her with a kind smile. "What were you going to say? Are you scare of me?" I asked. I have met many people who were scared of me. “Uh, er - “ She stumble, sighing.  “I...I’m kinda scared of you.  But only because...I watched you break someone’s neck...” Jaiden confessed. I sighed. Spot on. Slowly, I nodded. "Yeah, I see that. But, you see, that wasn't the real Tai. He's a duplicate, an evil one at that." I tried to explain.

She still shakes her head, crossing her arms.  “I don’t even care about this Tai person.  I was in my house one second, then the next I’m being thrown into a prison cell.  That’s why I’m so confused...” she trailed off, a shiver running down her spine. I nodded. "I don't know their motives with you. I don't even know how you got there. But I promise I'll get you home, okay?" I swore. I could tell she didn't belong here. This wasn't her desicon to be here. "Please, you can trust me."

(POV-Sinister)
I sat down on the couch again, the three of them in front of me. This is the second time I've been kidnapped. Second time I've been promised answers. I glared at them, making them very uncomfortable. "What do you want from me?" I snapped. Luri rubbed her shoulder. "Nothing, just to keep you safe. There are a few people out there who want you-" I stopped her.

"Want me?! Want me for what?! I'm just a teenage girl who wants to go home!" I shouted, my voice breaking. Luri's eyes widened, a bit confused on what to do. I sighed, running my hand through my hair. "I'm sorry just... I just need some time to think." I muttered. Luri nodded. "It's okay, take your time." She assured me. She points to the man to her left. "This is Kyi. He'll get you just about anywhere." She laughed nervously. I nodded, suddenly shy and embarrassed about my outburst, but I didn't think I was in the wrong.

Kyi got up and walked over to me, offering a hand. "Okay Sinister, want something to drink or eat?" He offered. I nodded slowly, getting up. "Y-Yeah, sure." I stuttered, brushing away his hand. He nodded and started heading out of the room. "Hey, Sinister is a mouthful. Is there any other name I could call you by?" He asked me as we walked. I thought for a minute before nodding. "Angel."

(POV-Aurio)
She takes in a deep breath, murmuring, “As long as I don’t end up with a broken arm,” before nodding. I smiled assuringly. "I promise, no harm will come to you. I'll even swear on it if you want." He offered. She shakes her hands.  “No, no!  I believe you!"  She swears.  "I’m just trying to get over that scene.  I’ll be over it eventually...” she sighed. I laughed. "Do you even know what swearing is?" I teased, trying to lighten the mood.

She grin slightly.  “I think I do.  What’s your understanding of it?”  she replied. I chuckled. "It's basically a spell that is unbreakable. I do what I'm sworn to do, and if I don't, well... That doesn't happen in the specific type of swear we'd do." I explained to the best of my ability. "It's reassurance." I chuckled. Jaiden pretends to act dizzy.  “Jeez, I asked for your understanding, not a lecture...” She jokes.  “My head aches from you now...”

I laughed, probably the best one I've had since I was with Damon. I grinned at her. "Out of all the things we've been through, and that's what made your head hurt?!" I exclaimed. I stopped at a doorways and turned towards her with a smirk. Jaiden grins slightly.  “You cause more pain than you think!”  She teases. I laughed. "Is that so? All I did was offer to take you home!" I defended myself, laughing.

Jaiden laughs.  “You don’t even know where I live!” she exclaims. I throw my hands up. "You could tell me where you live!" He tried. Jaiden laughs.  “What, so you can stalk me?” She teased. I shook my head. "No! Why would I do that?!" He exclaimed. Jaiden laughs.  “Because I know nothing about you?” she said, crossing her arms. I laughed. "Come on, let's get inside. Then you can ask me questions." I grinned, opening the door for her.

She gives a small grin.  “Yeah.  I feel exposed out here...” She mumbles. I nodded, gesturing for her to go inside. "Then by all means, make yourself at home." I purred out. She looks down as she walks inside, a little shy.  “Thank you.”  She whispers. I nodded, shutting the door behind her and turned all the lights on. Books seemed to line the walls, many about magic and potions. I led her into the living room, which hand the same feeling to it as the entry way, but it also included a coffee table, a couch, and a TV. I turned to Jaiden. "Would you like anything?" I asked.

Jaiden laces her hands together, a little nervous being here alone.  “I...I think I’m fine.”  She grins up at me. I laughed and sat down. I patted the seat next to me. "Here, come sit down. I'll answer some questions." I offered. My head was getting itchy from the fake ears, so I took them off along with the tail and sat them on the coffee table. Jaiden seems a little surprised, looking down.  “Oh...” She says, sitting down.  “...I didn’t know those were...” I laughed before she could finish. "Y-Yeah, I know it's weird, but it makes me look less threatening." I muttered. Don't ask why don't ask why! I scream in my head.
