@Dowan:

Aaron had been silent as Erica said what she had, about the chance to kill the one who took her brother - if she got the chance. He had known the pair of them for years, since they were all in highschool, but… that didn’t really mean that he really knew them. He knew Erica pretty well, since they’d had a brief fling until she cut it off (and he’d never been entirely sure as to why, either). He’d accepted it though, and they were still friends - even if he found it rather painful most days.

”. . . I know your brother has a violent streak, but really? I never see that from you. You ok?” He asked, concern in his voice. Erica just shrugged.

”Oh, no worries. I’m fine. Just… wondering who the hell was dumb enough to grab my brother.” She answered.

’Want some coffee or something? I was about to put some on for myself.” She added before making her way inside again.

”. . . You still don’t sleep much, do you?” Aaron asked. It was something he’d come to realize rather quickly during their short fling, and even afterward. She’d come to him any time she couldn’t sleep, since he seemed to be able to help calm her down. Even not to the point where she could sleep, definitely to the point where she wasn’t freaking out regarding it anymore that night. Or day as it was in some cases.

”Nahhh, sleep is for the weak.” Erica answered.

’Well, sure. I’ll take a cup of coffee.” Aaron answered. Erica nodded before making her way over to the percolator, tying a scarf around her head in the style of a bandana to keep her short hair out of her face while doing this.

As she was carrying the full coffee pot of water back to the machine it was due in, she froze. With a bit of a cry she dropped to her knees, the coffee pot hitting the floor, cracking - but not shattering, thankfully - as she just brought her hands up to her head.

”God DAMN it!” She half screamed as Aaron hurriedly made his way over.

”Erica?” He asked, concern in his voice.

”What happened?” He then asked. Eri, who hadn’t moved beyond where she’d been just nodded, she didn’t let her hands drop though.

”Yeah… yeah… I’m ok…” She answered.

”Just… one hell of a headache suddenly.” She half lied. She knew what it was that had happened, and who it had come from. This wasn’t anything new, since it was one way that her brother had always sent her secrets that he wanted to say. Beyond that, it was something that had gotten him out of a LOT of trouble sometimes, and she was always willing to receive his mental missives… not counting when she hadn’t a choice like now.

”I’ll be back in a few. I gotta… I gotta go check on something. Somewhere else. I’ll be back.” She said as she got to her feet, her demeanor seeming different than before. Her head hurt, her head was pounding, her vision was swimming and she swore her equilibrium was messed. It was pretty standard though, had always been an effect like this whenever she’d recieved a missive. Of course, this time it was worse than she’d been used to, strictly because it had been so long since the last one.

Aaron hadn’t a chance to say anything before Erica was at the door out.

”Do not let anyone in. At all. You know my rules, Aaron.” Was the last thing that she said before vanishing out into the night. Aaron knew quite well what would happen, knew that he’d be in a world of trouble, and knew that there was far more trouble than he wanted to deal with were he to not listen.

Erica just made her way to the exact place that her brother had told her to show up, knowing quite well that her hand needed to feed, in essence.

@Dowan:

She sighed as she rebound her hand, not daring to look at it for longer than she had to. She didn’t have an issue with it, in essence, but… at the same time she did. She hated how it looked, which is why she hid it. Nevermind the questions, the accusations, the hate, that would likely follow from any who saw it. She just wanted to avoid all that.

”Damn thing. I swear, my genetics hate me…” She muttered before sighing and pinning the bandages tightly closed. She flexed her hand a couple times to make sure she still had mobility before running that hand through her hair. All she knew was that it was something she had to deal with, that she couldn’t deny or there would be trouble. She had to contain what it caused, even if it was excruciatingly difficult.

”I wonder how my brother’s handling life? I haven’t seen him for what feels like forever.” She then commented. When she was a child, she’d taken to talking to herself, voicing her thoughts to the air. She’d developed a phobia as a child of people being able to read her thoughts, and that translated to her believing that if she spoke the words, no one could read them in her head. She didn’t think that so much anymore, but she still tended to voice everything to the empty air.

”Hey! Erica!” She heard, causing her to jump before looking toward the open window to see the one person that she was closest to, that wasn’t family.

”Oh, hey Aaron.” She said with a wave before getting to her feet and opening the door for him to come in.

”What’s going on? You don’t usually stop by.” She then said as he stepped in.

”Not a social call, Eri.” Aaron said, his voice rough, almost as if he was getting over a nasty case of laryngitis. His blue eyes sparkled with concern, and … was that fear?

”. . . Aaron? What’s going on?” Erica then repeated. He nodded before answering.

”Kyla’s gone missing.” He answered.

”And there’s word on the campus that your brother is next.” As soon as Erica heard that, her expression hardened, her bound hand closed into a fist and just turned on her heel.

”Then I will murder the fucker that touches him.” She stated before pausing and snickering.

’Assuming they are alive long enough for me to.”
@Neko: I may, I may not. Probably stick with not doin' pixel, to be honest. Not QUITE my forte. XD
