"Thats great! if u like, you can make it with me?"
Aella has a vial of the sleeping powder in her pocket, which she could easily slip into the sugar without him realising, as it was the same colour

He sighs. “I have a few dollars left…i’ll go buy some instead…” he rubs his neck and gets up, looking tired.

Aella was running out of patience, and she had to think of a plan. fast
"didnt you hear? Dark chocolate has been illegal to sell for quite some time, due to how expensive the ingrediants are. I went to a friends house today and i managed to get some of the things needed to make it. I would love for you to go out and buy some, but im afraid you cant. and besides! this will be a great bonding activity!!"

Finn gives her a look. “Liar.” He says simply, showing her a very recent receipt he had in his pocket. “I may be 10, but I know how this all works. And I bought dark chocolate just last week.”

Aella looks shocked, but comes up with an idea. fast
She starts quietly sobbing, tears streaking down her face. She was lucky her mother taught her how to fake cry.
"i -im sorry" she said quietly, shaking slightly "I - I just didnt k-know how to bond with you. Y- you seem like you hate me an- and i dont know why. I t-though i could maybe t- trick you into doing this with m-me so youd like m- me"
Aella hung her head, but silently praising herself. That was the most convincing she'd ever been

Finn stares at her. “Well…you do kill and steal and stuff- you’re a villain. I’m surprised they didn’t recognize you…” he mutters bluntly. He then realizes he may have been too blunt and sighs. “Sorry-“ he quickly apologized.

Aella celebrated quietly, before answering the child in a small voice.
"do you wanna know why, because belive me, i never wanted to hurt anyone. it wasnt my choice"
It was infact, her choice, but she realised this would be a great way to regain the boys trust

Finn huffs at her. “Yes it was. You chose to act through it. It’s not like you were controlled. Trust me I’ve been watching you. You show no guilt.” The boy had let himself be completely blunt with her. He honestly didn’t feel like faking at the moment.

"THEY KILLED MY MOTHER!" Aella yelled, furious. This was the only truth she had told him
"THEY TOOK AWAY THE ONLY GOOD THING I HAD IN MY LIFE. THE ONLY THING I HAD IN MY LIFE"

Finn flinched and scampered back, fear now clouding his eyes. Tears immediately filled his eyes and streamed down his cheeks. Screaming. Yelling…he hated it…the one thing that instantly terrified him…

Finn couldn’t control it anymore. He started sobbing, holding onto his stuffed animal, shaking slightly. The look on this poor child’s face was heartbreaking…

Aella instantly stopped, sighed, and walked out the door. but before she left, she decided to say one last thing
"im sorry for scaring you, but im not sorry for everything ive done"
and with that, she left

Finn moved to a corner, sobbing and coughing into his pillow. His panic attack lasted for about 15 minutes before he eventually calmed down to quiet whimpering and hiccups. He looked up and stared at the door, hiccuping. He wanted to leave…he didn’t want to be here…

Maybe…he should get the police…he already had his proof she was the wanted villain…he could get them…

But…what if they chose not to believe him…? What would happen? Would he be killed? Tormented? What would happen.

Finn whimpers again, his bottom lip shaking slightly as more tears rolled down his eyes.

In the other side of the house, Aella was too crying, something she hadn't allowed herself to do in a long time. She cried for her mother, who had been killed 3 years ago, and she cried for herself. Her Sadness quickly morphed into anger as she trashed her room, ripping apart useless papers and smashing her lamp. Her fire quickly spread across her arm and danced around her long claws. She wanted to kill the child. She wanted to kill herself. She wanted to kill every single person she could. She wanted her mother.
She quickly realised that acting like a baby wasnt the option, and composed a plan within a couple minutes.
She ordered her most trusted maid to dust some pillow cushions with her powder, and replace Finn's pillow case with the powdered one. And to draw the attention from the action, to strip the bed aswell. then hand the boy his chocolate. She knew the boy would be too caught up inspecting the chocolate to care about the bed. And while he was asleep, she could descided what to do with the child.

Finn slowly got up and sat on the floor, looking at his tiger. “She…lost her mom too…” he rasps, speaking to the toy as if it were his best friend. “Like us…” he bites his lip. “Maybe…” he thinks for a while, then, with childish hope, he gets up and rushes out, looking around for Aella. Soon, he found her. He stands in the doorway, then murmurs. “I lost my moma too…” he hugs his stuffed animal. “And my da.” He hiccups again, looking down. “I’m…sorry…I know how it feels. I was only a baby…but I remember…kinda…”

Aella doesnt know how to react, on half of her is screaming at her to ignore the child, but the other is screaming at her to sit down with Finn. For the first time in her life, Aella doesnt know what to do..

Finn looks up at her, his purple eyes gleaming. “I know why you’re mad…and I was too…but…now I wanna help people not be like me. Cause…I don’t like it when people are sad. Cause I don’t like being sad either…” he shifts on his feet. “Can…i…help you?” He murmurs.

Aella looks up at the boy, and cant help but smirk, before quickly smiling fully, as not to contuse the boy
"Yes" she whispers.
"but, you will need to get your cancer removed. I dont know how you would be able to defend yourself with it. I will call for a doctor to come here. but for now, i need you to get some rest. My maids have given you fresh sheets and a bar of dark chocolate. Please try to get some rest"

He bites his lip, looking down. He still looked scared, but also sad. Why was he sad…?

Finn wipes his eyes, then snuffles and turns, starting to walk away.

"oh! Finn, before you go!"
"know you'll be helping so many people"

Finn looks at her, a hurt look in his eyes before rushing off to his room. He slams his door shut and lays down on his bed, not even eating the chocolate. Tears keep falling down his cheeks and he quietly cried. After a few hours, he started feeling sleepy. He could hardly even keep his eyes open.

After another hour, he was almost fully asleep, barely fighting it.
