"I find one person that I think I can trust and it turns out that they are the g0d d@mn hero!" Thorn yelled as she banged her head against the door. She shook with sadness and anger. Sadness for putting Thalia through everything and anger at herself for trusting someone so easily.
Thalia pressed herself against the wall in fear. She had never seen Thorn like this. She had to keep reminding herself that this isn't the one she had loved. This was The Demon. A tear trickled down her cheek and she hastily wiped it on her sleeve.
Thorn looked up to see Thalia pressed up against the wall in fear. A tear trickled out of the side of her eyes. She began to think of ways she could make this work but found none. The closest thing she could think of was to constantly drain her and keep her somewhere she couldn't tell anyone she was The Demon but that would just hurt Thalia.
(I have an little idea to put in the story if that's alright.)
(yeah of course what is it)
(What if there was like a community of villains called The Society or something that has like a list or rules to keep villains safe and keep them from hurting too many citizens and what not and every villain has to do some sort of check in thing and Thorn decides she needs to protect Thalia from them? Does that could good? This is kinda a half baked idea.)
(ooh yes that sounds good)
Thalia swallowed and spoke after a while. "So…what now?"
Thorn dried her eyes. ”I…don´t know.” She chocked out. She didn't know what to do. What would The Society say? All this was making her hungry.
Thalia let out a shaky breath. "Can we…at least…go home?" She asked shakily.
Thorn stared at her for a bit longer before tears began to prick her eyes again. She nodded.
”Yeah. Let´s go home.” She said as she unlocked the door. She walked into the cell and helped Thalia out. She was probably tried and hungry.
Thalia nodded, grabbing her mask off the ground and leaving the cell. As they walked down the hall in silence she glanced over at Thorn sadly. She winced as bright sunlight pierced her eyes, and it took several minutes to get re-accustomed to the light, but eventually she did, feeling her powers flowing back through her again.
Thorn winced at the sunlight as she came above ground.
”Come on. I know a short cut.” She said as she ducked behind a few buildings and through a few alleyways. They arrived at the apartment soon and Thorn climbed in through the window, helping Thalia as well.
Thalia sighed with relief as she stepped into the dorm, and grabbed some food, plopping down on the couch. "God, I'm starving," she muttered, scarfing it down.
Thorn watched her do that before she headed into the bathroom to change. After she did that she came back into the living room and sat down on the couch, almost like an ashamed child would. She grabbed a pillow and hugged it.
Thalia finished eating and glanced at Thorn. "I..don't know what we're going to do about…" She ran her fingers through her hair. "You know, this…"
Thorn hugged the pillow a bit more. "I don't know either." She said, her voice slightly muffled in the pillow.
Thalia didn't say anything, sitting criss-cross on the couch. She wanted to be with Thorn -she really did- but now that she knew about her it was all over. No chance of that now.
Thorn looked up at the clock. It was 9 O'clock. It's not like she had to be anywhere anyways. It was a Saturday. She was getting hungry but now that Thalia knew she probably would trust her to leave the apartment.
Thalia looked at Thorn and smiled sadly. "You'd might as well just kill me."
Thorn's head snapped towards Thalia when she said that. "Why would I do that? I'm the one waiting for you to kill me." She asked, confused.
"Well," she began, "Now I know who you are and you know who I am. I could expose your secret at any time. And you could expose mine." She paused for a moment. "Plus, I think I like you too much to kill you." Thalia looked away, smiling at the ground.
Thorn put her head back in the pillow again. "I like you too much to do that either." She mumbled. She looked at Thalia and actually considered draining her.
Thalia didn't notice her look and was still smiling at the ground. Honestly, it doesn't matter if I die. I couldn't fight Thorn again if I tried. If she exposes my secret, I'm done anyway.
Thorn crawled a bit closer to Thalia, hoping to just lightly feed off of her slowly. She began to and immediately felt better and more awake.
Thalia didn't notice at first, but then she felt it. The tingle of pain. The feeling of slowly being drained of her energy. She clenched her eyes closed and waited, breathing quickening.
