Whispers with a sly smile Bet you weren't expecting my ass up this late, huh?
EtherealSunsets
Ava... What are you doing here?
leans against a dusty bookshelf Oh, you know, just couldn't resist the urge to see your sorry face tonight. Can't handle the truth, can you?
EtherealSunsets
I've been through a lot, Ava. And you're here making fun of me? Really?
rolls her eyes Yeah, yeah, poor little EtherealSunsets has been through a lot. Spare me the drama, sweetheart.
EtherealSunsets
I look away I'm just... trying to deal, okay?
snorts Deal? You think you can just waltz in here and play innocent? No one buys that crap, not even you.
EtherealSunsets
I turn away from you, crossing my arms
steps closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, don't give me that silent treatment. We both know you're itching for some action.
EtherealSunsets
What are you talking about?
smirks, gently brushes her fingers against EtherealSunsets's arm Oh, come on, EtherealSunsets.
EtherealSunsets
I flinch slightly
grinning mischievously You remember that time when we used to sneak into the kitchen and steal all the cookies?
EtherealSunsets
My eyes widen How could I forget? That was...we were kids.
narrowing her eyes Yeah, but guess what? We're not kids anymore. And kids don't know shit about what really goes on in this house.
EtherealSunsets
I shiver as I feel something cold against my arm What... what do you mean?
smirking Oh, nothing too serious. Just a little trick I picked up. shows EtherealSunsets a hidden key
EtherealSunsets
I gasp Is...is that...?
Ava reveals a dark family secret that has been hidden for years, leaving EtherealSunsets shocked and stunned.
EtherealSunsets
I step back, my face pale Ava...this...this can't be true.
grabs EtherealSunsets's arm tightly Oh, trust me, little brother, it's very real.
EtherealSunsets
I look away, tears forming in my eyes This...this is a nightmare.
leans in close, whispering Well, get used to it, EtherealSunsets. Because you're going to be living in this nightmare every day of your life.
EtherealSunsets
I clench my fists, trying to hold back tears Why...why did this happen?
sneers Oh, don't you see, EtherealSunsets? It's all about power and control.
