Ria sat on her bed. She was looking straight outside watching the shimmer all around her. she put her wards up. She didn't want anyone coming in or leaving. Opposite her sat Sebastian. His finger tapping his shoes. He looked bored. He kept getting up every once and a while. "so, are we going to talk?" he said pacing.
"I have nothing to say to you."
"Sure, you do. Here I'll go first." He sat down his hands clenched in his lap. "how have you been?" she looked at him blankly. "you say I have been good. You? And then I would say 'yes, I have been loving the fact I am slightly real.' You would then say, 'what do you mean?' I would carry on saying 'that I need to be completely free to be back to my whole self, flesh and all.' Then you would transfer you power into me, and I would be free, and you would be free of this ongoing conversation."
She scoffed and said "what make you think I would give you my powers"
"because you want to die."
"do you even know what would happen?" he narrowed his eyes and inclined his head suggesting he did not know. "thought so. You would turn into me."
"and?"
"jeez." She got off the bed and walked towards the door. "I am not having this conversation with you."
Sebastian slammed his hand on the door shutting it. "don't you want to see your siblings." He was so close that Ria could feeling his cold skin through her clothing. "come on Astria. Let it go. You know you want to." He pouted and said, "please Ria for me." He moved his fingers across her chest and down to wrist.
"do not touch me." In a tempt to get away she was stopped with an icy hand clutching her wrist.
"Please my love."
"never."
"fine then not now but you will." He said getting out of her way.
"Ria." MJ's voice whispered in her ear. She shrugged it off thinking she had imagined it. "Ria." A tap on her shoulder. She spins around blade up at the persons throat. She lowered it when she saw it was in fact MJ. "hey." He said sheepishly. His eyes were on the floor. He looked like he was a kid that had just done something wrong. "sorry."
"for what?"
"I disappeared again."
"oh, yeah. Where did you go?"
"to the locked room. You were right. I got locked in." he said reluctantly.
She smiled down at him and put away her blade. "hey its ok. as long as you are ok."
"are you? Ok I mean." She noticed that he had backed away from her. "I saw him. I saw him in your eyes. your hair was just like him."
"who?"
"Sebastian."
"you saw him?"
"he took over your body and reached out for the blonde boy."
She caught his eye before saying, "I am in control. He has changed. He is not that angry boy he was turned into. He is pure. Ok?" he looked at her sceptically. "Sebastian is not going to hurt you. I have him under control. Ok?" he nodded his head. "and you know he prefers being called Johnathon. Not Sebastian, sometimes Jo."
"ok."
"hey little man." They both span around and there he was Jo. Leaning against the wall.
"Jo."
"Ria." She turned again starting to feel a bit dizzy now. It was Isabelle behind her. "who are you talking to?"
"no one just myself."
"I thought, I heard you say Johnathon. Or Jo?"
"that is what I use to call my brother."
"oh. Ok." she walked off.
"that was close." MJ said letting out a breath.
"we really should chat places less public unless you want to be seen as crazy." Jo said. "which I guess you already are."
"ha. ha. Very funny." She said playfully punching him. MJ sat down on the ground laughing with them.
"where are you going?" Jo called to her as she walked away from the two.
"meeting Simon outside. We are going to hang out like normal people. Don't get into too much trouble while I'm gone."
"normal for her is like us being alive." Jo said bending down toward MJ.
"so not possible." MJ replied.
"I heard that."
