When Hex woken up, she made her way to the kitchen and sat down in the silence. She occupied the tranquility by pouring some cereal in a bowl and some milk before she sat down in a seat and ate slowly.
Her eyes were puffy due to the realization on what her and Diego had done last night. Her vacant stair on the wall seemed to glisten as she broke it and looked to her bowl, staring at her reflection and groaning.
They killed Grace. They really had.
The only mother figure she had for the last years. After her mom had passed— not to mention the rest of the Hargreeves, they had just lost their dad. Now they had lost their mom. This would break any of them. She ate her cereal and sat back, slowly tapping her spoon to a non existent beat before she decided to clean the bowl and the spoon. She made her way to the living room as she heard Allison and Luther on the floor above.
"They did this to her!" Allison walked to the edge of the railing as Hex stayed out of her sight. "It has to do with Five somehow. I mean, they were looking for him."
Had the masked figures even talked about Five last night? She couldn't remember. But there was no more protecting him from his family. Five's enemies had came in and tried to take his whole family out.
Did they know him and his family? Or perhaps they just came and tried to kill him... but then again, how did they know to come here?
Allison paced and ran a hand through her hair as Hex sighed and looked to the floor. It wasn't the masked idiots. Hex knew exactly who it was. The motion was so fluid. Her hands could still feel the motion.
"I know I was arguing to turn Grace off, but it doesn't make seeing her like this any easier."
Luther spoke softly and loud enough for only his sister to hear as Hex sniffled.
"Poor Diego," Allison stated.
Poor Diego? The Diego that cried in her stomach last night, couldn't even look his mother in the eye, couldn't kill Hex if he tried. That Diego?
If only they had known. If they had only seen how it tore him apart.
"I mean this is going to be so hard on him," she said as Luther stood up.
"Yeah, it's hard on all of us— including Theodora," he said softly as Hex stiffened.
"That's a strange way to bring her up," Allison said, "she's one of us-"
