“She’s right you know, you guys are anything but kids. There is little innocents left in even the smallest child.” He sighed at the thought, for a brief moment the tiny faces of his younger daughters plagued his thoughts and his face hardened ever so slightly from it’s normally soft appearance. He clenched down on his jaw, taking a deep breath before releasing. Kila’s question bringing him from his tormented thoughts. His face softening once more as he gave the curious blonde a smirk.
“Of course, I do apologize for not offering to show you sooner. I guess I forgot my manors.” He said standing up and walking towards her. I cannot physically show you my powers.” He began, now standing in the center of the room he casually fixed his suite jacket, taking another long drag from his cigar, this time leaving it rested between his lips allowing his hand to be free for the moment, he reached into the inside of his jacket pocket pulling a pack of cigarettes out, tossing them to Kila. “A young lady your age shouldn’t have such an itch for those.” He gave her a small smile, before continuing.
“My powers” he paused hating that word powers making them sound like some kind of freaks, the word leaving a bad taste in his mouth. “I have the ability to replay yours, his, or anyone else’s memories, in my own mind, feel the emotions you felt in every good or bad moment of your life.” He informed the both of them “But, that’s just my secondary power, you tend to develop more powers the older you get and well I’m ancient.” He teased a bit. “My strongest power is the only way were going to be able to pull this attack off.” He said looking straight at Kila at this point, knowing Josh already knew what his powers were “As long as you are on my property or near me, now bleeder, nor human will be able to see what you truly are, or what you can do. I can create a blind spot.” He finished taking another drag from his cigar and blowing the white-gray smoke out slowly.
She watched him enter the room from the corner of her eye, a gentle smile painted on her pale face. "I liked your other song better." He said, gesturing to the piano. "It felt real and emotional." she could have sworn her heart skipped a beat when he spoke. His voice was something like a melody to her, something that was even more beautiful than her best piano piece. But, despite her fluttering heart she remained calm on the outside and her melody on the piano never faltered nor did she glance at him or offer a smile, and she assumed that he more than likely thought she was ignoring him. She let out a small genuinely sad sigh, as if to speak but already knowing she couldn’t, she continued to play defeat and sadness present on the girls face, but her long dark hair hiding the look for the most part.
After her playing seized and the large room grew silent, she tugged at the black ribbon tied in a perfect bow around her wrist, before gently tying her long raven hair up with it. She was seemingly surprised he was still leaning against the wall. She glanced up to him with a soft smile, though avoiding his eyes, her dark hair and bright blue eyes only appearing to glow against the darkness of her hair.
She stood and silently walked to the desk, sitting down the room still remaining beautifully silent, something she was quite used to. She began to write on a piece of parchment paper. Her wrist curving and spiraling her letters as if she were signing some kind of royal decry. Music began to fill the room again as she wrote, this time the piano playing itself, feeding off her emotions. The music that played this time was beautifully enticing, almost hypnotic. Finally once she was finished, she offered him the note:
I’m Adya,
I can’t exactly talk, I’ve never been able to for that matter. Thanks for the complement by the way. I understand if you want to go, I’m kind of the odd one out here, guess that’s why I left…didn’t know I had a stalker though…I’m only kidding, but seriously, why the hell did you follow me? You know this is my private study.
Anyways sorry, for the silence, it's your choice keep me company or be on your way
<3 Adya
