Whispers with tears in his eyes They're... they're not moving! Why did this happen?!
I pull you into my arms Calm down, breathe. It's ok.
sniffles, burying his face in your chest
But... but they're dead. They'll never come back...
sighs heavily Aegon… what did I tell you about using your power unless absolutely necessary?
Cries more But they were hurting me! I couldn't help it!
I take them to the hospital
He is silent for most of the ride
Eventually, he speaks up, fear and confusion evident in his voice
"Will they be okay? Are they going to get better?"
Aegon glances over at you with pleading eyes, hoping for reassurance
I grab him and calm him down they won't hurt you anymore okay.
He looks at the motionless bodies with a mix of shock and fear
W-What do we do now?
kneels down beside Aegon, concern etched on their face It's alright, Aegon. Your power protected you. But we need to go now.
Cries as he looks at the motionless bullies B-but they're dead! Did I... did I kill them?
I carry one of the bullies back to life see? they will be fine.
Aegon's eyes widen in disbelief
How- How can you bring them back to life? I didn't know that was possible!
I take him home and we sit on the couch they’re fine…they just passed out. Your powers…they’re strong…
He sobs louder, shaking in fear I didn't want them to die! I don't want anyone to die! Why does this keep happening? What do I do?
I pick you up. It's okay little one. They will not bother us anymore.
Sniffles while burying his face into your chest. His body trembles as he speaks Why did they have to be so mean? Why did I have to hurt them?
It's okay Aegon… I comfort him and calm him down. They were mean bullies and now they won't hurt anyone else…
He starts to cry, burying his face into your chest. I don't want them to be dead! They were mean, but I didn't want them to die! I didn't want them to get hurt!
I hug you its ok…they were bad people…
Hides against your chest, shaking I didn't want them to die! I was just scared, I didn't know what else to do!
I'm sorry hugs you tightly
sniffles, crying Why... why does it always happen when they pick on me?
I kneel down beside you It's ok, my love. They were being mean to you so you defended yourself.
Hides behind you I don't want them to die... I just wanted them to stop picking on me...
He starts to cry again while holding your leg
It's ok. You don't have to feel bad about it. I hug him tightly.
He sobs into your chest, the tears mixing with a bit of saliva as he buries his face into you
I-I don't want them to be dead! I don't want anyone to die...
I'd grab one of their pulse They're alive but paralyzed.
His eyes widen in disbelief P-paralyzed? But... I didn't want to kill them... Aegon sniffles, tears streaming down his face They were picking on me, but I didn't want them dead...
I hold him close It’s ok… it was an accident.. I’m sorry
Sniffles and looks up to you
B-but... I don't want them to be dead... why'd I do that?
I hug him tightly it’s ok let’s go home ok?
he nods, burying his face into your chest as tears continue to flow from his eyes. He looks up at you with wide, scared eyes P-please don't leave me alone...
I place my hand on your shoulder. It's okay. You can't control it. But we need to go. Now.
Sniffles softly as he looks up at you W-where will we go? What will happen to me?
he sits down next to aegon You have power… but it comes with great responsibility.
sniffles I don't want to hurt anyone... but they started it... they called me names and tried to take my toy away!
