A Little Bit of Both (Lumity)

Seventeen

"Well, yeah. We're Blights, remember? She needs to be put into her place. If she wants to go all willy nilly with a human, so be it. How is that our problem?" Emira spat out, not only her look but as well as her tone, being sour.

"What the hell- no, you don't get it do you? Why are you listening to those-" Edric was about to start telling until he heard a scroll and its ringing go off on the other side of the door, making him go instantly quiet.

Ring...

Ring...

"What-" Edric spun to focus on the door, putting his ear back on it.

Ring...

Ri-

"Hello, this is Alador Blight. I would like to speak to Emperor Belos as soon as possible. I have a... a proposition."

Edric didn't say a word, blatantly ignoring a of his sister's remarks that she tried to spit out. Emira could easily just wall up to the door and open it, exposing Emira and her brother but that would just make it hell for the both of them.

"Leave a message? Well.. If I must. Just let Emperor Belos know that I am willing to order a search party on... on Amity Blight: pale, minty green hair with brown roots, and golden eyes. You couldn't possibly miss her."

Edric froze as if his mental was just not cracked, but shattered. He walked away from the door back to their room, pushing his sister away as he felt nearly anything.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

No response.

"Edric, what are you doing."

No response.

"Edric Blight, what the hell are you doing-"

No response...

All Edric did was pack a bag full of clothes, some personal belongings, and hygienic products so he could stay on top of it.

"Wh.. Edric what are you doing, seriously. Answer me." Emira spoke out sounding a bit worried now. There was no way her brother would leave her here in the manor alone, right?

"Doesn't matter." Edric said, his voice laced with venom, and his eyes becoming filled with hatred.

"Edric-" Just as she started speaking again, Edric walked up to her face but made sure to keep his distance.

"I don't want to hear my name out of your mouth again, do you understand me?" Edric said in a low tone, looking Emira in the eyes. His eyes looked almost lifeless.

"I'm leaving."

"Please, wait, I-"

"I don't want to hear it." Edric yanked his hand out of Emira's grasp as she was trying to stop him.

"Stop acting like a child and listen you idiot-"
