[SICARIO]
[Fifty-six months ago]
"I forgive you, Razia. This isn't easy for you, friend. I know that... I knew it even when I came to you with the worries months ago. Be well, my friend," Eniola said and Razia blinked back tears.
As usual, Eniola Sicario was of a pure heart.
And that broke Razia's heart even more.
"Eni, wait..." Razia began as she looked at her dying best friend. It was quite ironic to hear her say that to the same woman who was bleeding out. Either Razia was so out of touch with her reality or she was just being cruel.
There was just no way she didn't know what this would mean for the both of them or even say things were going between them. She had betrayed Eniola and nothing would ever fix that.
It was one thing to do what she had to and another to get to be the one who threw the last punch at a friend whose only mistake was trusting her. She was insane for this, but then didn't she already know that at the moment anyway?
"It's okay, Razia," Eniola said as she struggled to breathe.
Razia had cast a paralysis spell on her and that made it impossible for Eniola to make a move. She was stuck in the same spot while her best friend was watching her with sad eyes.
This was heartbreaking, to say the least, and the fact that Eniola Sicario was still so forgiving was not something that Razia could ever recover from.
"I love you, Eni,'' Razia said to the woman just as she blinked her last. She was struggling to hold on, and wait for her daughter but then there was only smooch that she could do with her body stiff on the ground and her inability to speak coherently.
And they had suffered.
"We should go, Dom. She might maim us for real this time," Jer said, his voice shaking as it always did whenever they were in such situations. Granted, the other times it had been an act to be put on, one he had aced flawlessly, but this time, it was different.
"Relax. She has been staring at you with lust since morning. I'm assuming you triggered her yesterday. If you go to train with her, she will jump you, and as much as I love my sister, knowing how she is folded by you is a little too much even for me," Dom said.
Jer snorted sadly at the last statement. It sounded ridiculous and yet at the same time there was a truth to it. He loved Audio and would do whatever he wanted. He would give it to her whenever if that's what she wanted.
Right at that moment, he was only agreeing with Dom, even though he knew that there was never going to be such a thing for him and Awuor again. Yesterday was the last time, and frankly, Jer felt like a devil for triggering her.
He could only hope that the misfortune that was bound, was too much for Awuor to bear that her what would be instantly skipped. That shit always happens to the sick wolves and those who weren't mentally prepared for their fates.
Maybe it was a shortcut, but it was the only thing that Jar could wish for Awuor. Now that Razia decided to ruin Awuor too, there was no telling what the fuck was meant to be happening. It was heartbreaking to say the least.
"Fine, let's continue then. I have to break this record today," Jer said as he looked at Dom. He could see the love the brother had for his sister. Surely, Awuor could be a menace for a sibling, but which families didn't have menses for kids?
And so, for thirty minutes, they kept playing, only for a sudden wave of sadness to fill the pack. It was so strange and it came with a rough edge of anger. The intensity was so strange, and while it lasted a microsecond, Jer knew. .net
He knew that Luna was dead and he knew that the rage was the possible result of Awuor seeing her mother like that. However, when he saw Razia standing before him, clearly glamorized, Jer wasn't sure he would get through this.
Hell, he wasn't sure what to make of it really, because none of this was valid.
"Your turn," Razia mouthed before she disappeared.
