" Mom! we are Home " said James, as he enter the apartment. behind him were Trisha and weeping Ava. No matter how much Trisha consoled her, she did not stop crying. James was no help, he was still considering his future relationship with her. Ava is clearly a Yandere type, handling this type is a bit trick. her passive ability made her even more dangerous, predecessors memory was of no help at all as he seemed to not hate Ava in his last moment but he was worried if Ava would ever be able to forgive herself and get over this guilt.
"um!... I smell delicious Key lime Pie " saying that Trisha ran directly towards the Kitchen, she did not have hard time find the kitchen as she spent half of her childhood here.
" No Trisha, you just got home from hospital go wash your hands and face first, until then no key lime pie." Marie came to the hall dragging Trisha along with her. " and you two I do not think I need to repeat myself again. "
" No, mom!" replied James, Ava just meekly nodded with her head down. unlike in the hospital, Ava could not dare to look at Marie, as she felt really guilty for attempting to murder her son. In the hospital earlier Ava had no guilty as she thought she did nothing wrong and boldly face Marie.
Ava's little action did not escape Marie's eyes," what happened to my dear Ava, it must be you two what did you say to her ? " hearing Marie call her with such endearment, weeping Ava cried even louder and ran towards one of the bedroom and looked herself in.
Marie is the legal Guardian of Trisha and Ava, As both the father and mother of Trisha and Ava are Dream Walkers/Returners and mostly not available, so Trisha and Ava were mostly raised by Marie. Marie likes to think that she has 4 children and raised them equally. But the predecessor would beg to differ according to him Marie was always biased towards the girls. After the disappearance of James dad Marie become the full time guardian of these two and was also paid by their parents earning the basic source for the Alpucci family.
So, when Marie endearingly addressed her, Ava finally realize what a big mistake she had almost done, adding to her guilt, unable to face anybody in room she chose to run away.
" Ava! what happened? .... " seeing Ava lock herself in the room Marie suddenly panicked, after experiencing her son's suicide attempt, she thought the worst and ran at the bedroom door as she shouted, " Ava honey what happened, did these two say anything to you, you tell me Auntie will teach them a lesson. " then she turned to James and shouted," what are you guys looking at break the door, before she inflicts self harm. "
James was dumbfounded, 'you did not even ask about the health of your only son who Just discharged from the hospital, and you are caring for your son's killer, was the predecessor really your son.'
" Auntie, Ava is standing against the door, on the other side, so kicking in the door would not be wise. " said Trisha, as the red light in her left eye slowly dimed. Heat vision, one of the capabilities of Trisha's prosthetic eye.
Hearing Trisha, Marie relaxed a little but still did not stop trying to contact Ava, " Ava honey, come out everything can be solved by talking, you tell me whats bothering you. "
" ... " Ava did not answer Marie
Getting no reply from Ava, Marie turned to James and Trisha, " you two tell me what happened, why is Ava acting like this? "
"... " James just shook his head, he had decide to keep his distance with Ava, as her character and Passive ability make her very unpredictable and dangerous, and right now he did not have enough power to confront her.
" I do not know, She is crying since Leon and team visited James in the hospital auntie. no matter how I consoled her she doesn't stop or respond she just cries louder. she did not even want to come here, I basically had to drag her here, James was no help. " explained Trisha, with her gaze drifting towards the kitchen.
Hearing Trisha, Marie finally knew the problem, it was her son. otherwise why would the poor girl run into her son's bedroom, something must have happened between them, Ever since yesterday when Ava last visited here, her son has been acting differently he tried to inflict self harm by hanging himself and now this girl is acting weirdly, there is something going on between these two.
Looking at Marie who stared at him intently, James unknowingly shuddered, he quickly made his why towards the washroom.
Seeing her son escaping her gaze and running towards the loo, she knew for sure this was some how related to her son, " where are you going mister? "
Hearing Marie, James turned and replied " For a nice bath, I spent a day in the hospital after all. "
receiving James blunt reply, Marie was more sure that it was her son's mistake, " no one is going anywhere until Ava gets out of that room, you too Tina leave that slice of pie on the dining table and come here. "
" No mom you got me wrong, I was fetching the spare keys for brothers bed room door from the kitchen. " Tina walked out of the kitchen while cleaning the evidence of her crime the crumbs near her mouth with her hands and then handed the spare keys to Marie, then stood next to Trisha.
" how was it? " whispered Trisha, " too creamy " replied Tina.
' Just the way I like it ' thought Trisha.
Ignoring Tina and Trisha, Marie looked at her son, " I do not know what happened between you two and I do not care. I want it solved before we three finish the Key lime pie. "
" what! wasn't the pie made for me, how can you eat it without me " said James, 'ayaaaaa! more for us' cheered Tina and Trisha silently.
" that was before I knew this. " said Marie.
"this has nothing to do with me, you are not being fair. " protested James and thought ' knew this, you know nothing '
" not being fair,... then do not make a girl cry. " said Marie as she passed the spare key's to James.
" I told you this has nothing to do with me "repeated James.
Marie did not bother to argue and turned to the kitchen, but then Ava's voice was heard from inside the room, " It has nothing to with James auntie, its all my fault. If only I had not assumed things, things would not have turned out like this. I am really sorry auntie its all my fault, please do not blame James, he is a good trust worthy friend. "
The more Ava blamed herself and apologized, the more Marie got angry at her son. since they were little Ava had crush on her son and treated him differently than other kids, how can this escape Marie's eyes. with all the information Marie had until now she could only come to one reasonable explanation for Ava's behavior, that is her son had ruthlessly crushed a young girls heart.
James had other worries, he was worried that Ava would reveal the truth and cause many complications, basically breaking the relationship between Alpucci, Mellon and O'Hara families, which is not good for James who is currently trying to fit in carefully. Just thinking the numerous possibilities that could happen, gave James the chills. So, this problem named Ava has to be taken care of as soon as possible. thinking this James used the spare key to open his bedroom door and pushed in, getting inside James once again locked the door. so that others could not hear their conversation.
" Ah!.. James "Ava who was weeping on James bed was startled when James came in suddenly and locked the door.
" Ava we need to talk " said James with out looking at the weeping Ava, " I have already forgotten what has happened and you should do the same " James went to his study table, taking out a Black Gucci sunglasses from the drawer, then he put them on and looked at Ava.
" No! I won't stop crying until you forgive me " said Ava , James little moments did not escape Ava's eyes but she just shook her head in disappointment and continued " you know this is why I kept my upgraded passive ability hidden, I can feel your fear of me from here. "
" I am not afraid of you I am just taking precaution. " retorted James. Was James afraid yes he was afraid, afraid of her passive ability ' Flash '.
Flash : Its is a ability which basically lets Ava's eyeball's Flash like Camera flash, But unlike Camera flash Ava's flash has a stronger and wider effect, even stronger than a Flash grande. Adding to that the people in the area of effect of the flash will be petrified for 1 - 10 sec based on the power difference between Ava and the victim, if the victim is weaker than Ava, then they will be turned into ash.
Even the Inanimate[1] will be turned into stone for 1 - 10 sec based on the level difference between Ava and the Inanimate, if the Inanimate is weaker then it can be turned into ash based on Ava's wish.
Ava is immune to her own flash.
Upgraded Flash : with every flash Ava can Implant instructions and also wipe or edit memories of those who are petrified.
since this only activates when the person is petrified, Ava has to implant, wipe or edit with in the time period of 1 - 10 seconds, which is based on the power difference between Ava and the opponent, if the opponent is weaker than Ava, then Ava can enslave that opponent.
her ability was already over powered but after the upgrade it reached another level.
When Ava visited predecessor yesterday using her ability she implanted a Instruction in predecessor's mind, to hang himself by neck, sharp at midnight.
following her Instruction, predecessor did indeed hang himself, but the the support couldn't take predecessors weight any longer and broke, Half dead predecessors fell on the floor with boom! causing a huge commotion in the home, later he was sent to Apelin Hospital by Marie where James took over the predecessor body.
" why should I forgive you " asked James, James had no reason to be angry with Ava as predecessor had already forgiven her and as for James he was thank full to Ava because she play a part in his reincarnation.
" I do not know, but I want your forgiveness. "said Ava, she then thought to herself and said " I know what I did was unforgivable but can you tell me how will you forgive me. "
Outside the bedroom Marie, Trisha and Tina were thunder stuck by James's bold action of locking himself and Ava in a room.
Marie's eyes twitched,' how fast do they grow up '
Tina,' go brother I am rooting for you '
Trisha's gossip bone started to tingle and said," did you guys know Ava had crush on James since 5 th grade, I read it in her diary. only I knew it "
Seeing Trisha, Marie shook her head ,' kid, I could have told you that with out a diary '
Immature Tina at the beginning of her adolescence, who always watched romantic soap opera felt like she was living in one. and could not help but ask ," big sis Trisha, what else did sis Ava write in that diary "
" I can't tell, I promised Ava I will never tell another soul about it. " said Trisha, without realizing she already had broken the secret.
" you can't ... " said Tina with disappointment.
Seeing the disappointment in Tina's expression Trisha almost revealed all the dark secrets of Ava's diary, but did not.
If James knew what was going on inside these three peoples head, he would almost spit liters of blood and scream ' Daddy doesn't do Yandere '.
