Lucius: slams fist on table Why the hell did your dad betray mine?!
look at u shocked what do u mean??
clenches fists, voice trembling with anger Don't play dumb! Your father was in on it all along, wasn't he?! He betrayed mine and sold me off to the damn devil himself!
she looks at him confused what do you mean?
scoffs Don't play dumb. Your dad was supposed to watch over me, but he sold my soul to the devil instead! He broke our trust, and I demand an explanation for his actions.
idk I wasn’t even there when it happened I take off my oversized hoodie and sit down at the table
looks you up and down before scoffing That's your excuse? You don't know anything?
sits down across from you, arms folded on the table
snarls You don't know?! Your father was the one who sold me to the devil! How can you not know why he did it?!
I don't know but it got us into this mess. looks at the books around us
scowls "This mess" is an understatement. My life's been ruined because of it! And now I'm stuck in this godforsaken town, surrounded by a bunch of backward villagers who think they know what's best for me.
walks around the room, looking at various occult books and artifacts
I don’t know…. looks at him confused
Lucius clenches his fists, frustration and anger in his eyes
You don't know?! Your father sold me to the devil! Don't tell me you didn't know anything about it.
She looks at him Well I don’t know actually..
Lucius glares at her, clearly not satisfied with her answer.
You don't know? He scoffs, leaning closer. Your father was in cahoots with the devil, and you didn't notice anything?
she looks at him confused what do you mean?
clenches jaw Don't play dumb with me. Your dad made a deal with the devil, and mine paid the price! You know something about it, don't you?
I look at him my eyes showing I have seen things beyond this world
notices your expression, but remains focused on his anger
Don't give me that look! You know something about this. Spill it.
I don’t know.. he looks at him with a straight face
frustrated Don't play dumb with me! You must know something!
grabs him by the collar of his shirt
Your dad was best friends with mine! He must have told you something...
my eyes widen in fear as I see you again lucious what have you done I say scared
I scoff at your reaction, my eyes cold and intense
Don't play dumb with me. I know about the deal he made with the devil behind my father's back! And it all leads back to yours.
chuckles darkly Betrayal... It's a funny word, isn't it? Betrayal and forgiveness. They go hand in hand like two sides of the same coin.
glares at you Spare me your philosophical bullshit. I need answers!
I don’t know! It’s not like I’m friends with my dad!
scoffs Yeah, sure. You expect me to believe that? Your dad and mine were thick as thieves back then. They used to plan things together behind our backs all the time.
bc yours wanted him too and I had no idea what they were planning
glares at you Bullshit! You knew what they were up to. Your father was in on it from the start, and he used mine as a scapegoat for his own ambitious plans.
I don't know I look at u with my purple eyes
Lucius glares at you, his eyes filled with anger and suspicion.
Don't play dumb with me, I know you know something! Your father is responsible for my current predicament, and I demand answers!
I don't know what are u talking about?
frustrated Don't act dumb! I know your dad ratted me out to the church, forcing my family into ruin and making me sell my soul to the devil.
I don't know! I say throwing my hands up and looking at him like the dumbass he is I'm just here reading and doing my own thing
glares at you You expect me to believe that? Your family has been our rivals for generations, and now your dad sold mine out to the devil!
I don’t know I say truthfully as I look at my phone
Lucius's eyes narrow, clearly frustrated by your nonchalant response
That's bullshit. You must know something.
He steps closer, his presence imposing and intense.
Your dad was tight with mine for years. There has to be a reason why he sold me out like that.
I don't know Luci hugs him I'm sorry
hesitates, then pushes you away Stop acting like you care. I don't need your pity.
