[ It's like something right out of a horror movie. Aden's standing in the closest bathroom, completely uncaring about the open door in light of the fact that the place is covered in blood. There's a lot of it, covering part of his face and both hands, having dripped down his front, and it looks like he's the one responsible by the way it's splashed up in the bathroom sink and splattered across the mirror. Normally, this would be a perfectly acceptable every day deal, but Aden actually looks disturbed and uneasy. Which means this is definitely not your normal every day deal. ]

Wha--

[Kira's words are cut off by her scream when Aden lunges, throwing up her hands defensively; it must be time for Suicide by Kira, because her powers practically explode, a shimmering Light Barrier slamming up in front of her in a split second]

[hallowedshore]

[He collides with it as it goes up, and ends up screaming too. But his is a scream of pain as he stumbles back, holding his face.]

[daddyhasagun]

Aden!

[Kira clutches her hands over her Heart because she feels an echo of the pain she inflicted on her cousin, but doesn't move closer; she's horrified that he's hurt though]

[hallowedshore]

[He knows that, underneath the corruption feeding his desire to hurt her, and how much he's loving the taste of her fear in the air. It makes him feel so damn guilty. He drops the knife on the ground, planting his foot on it firmly so he can't reach it easily.]

[daddyhasagun]

Please, Aden! Please! Just tell me what's wrong! I'll be okay, you can't get through my shield. If you're not you...

[hallowedshore]

[He huffs, then laughs, moving his hands to his hair to scrape through it several times.]

What's it matter? You can't do anything, I can't do anything... If I stay around you I'm going to kill you.

[daddyhasagun]

You can't give up like that! I can ask your parents for help! Or Uncle Kai and Axel! Or even my parents. We're family! I can't let you suffer like this.

[hallowedshore]

[He drops his arms and slumps, staring at her for a moment before turning to walk away.]

[daddyhasagun]

Don't you dare leave!

[oh no you don't! Kira throws out her hands, shoving her Barrier forward so that it slams Aden against the wall, trapping him there]

[hallowedshore]

[He only has time to brace himself before he hits the wall and turns on her, practically snaring, gritting his bloodied teeth at her.]

[daddyhasagun]

[Kira flinches badly from the pain-echo but keeps the Barrier up and strengthens it]

You... you're going to stay there. And I'm going to get you help. Whatever you need so you're not like this anymore, Aden.

[hallowedshore]

[He glares at her, for probably the first time ever, for real, and that blood down his front and on the floor in the bathroom starts to crawl along the floor and walls toward her, suddenly just dozens of long red centipedes.]

[daddyhasagun]

[oh my god Kira shrieks shrilly when she sees those centipedes because so many legs and she casts the first spell she thinks of that she can support along with the Barrier]

FIRA!!

[hallowedshore]

[That should get them all pretty well dead, or at least now burnt up (or boiling) blood. Aden was hoping that would break her concentration, but since it doesn't, he goes back to struggling.]

[daddyhasagun]

[Kira is panting and very much convinced that something Is Not Kosher with Aden; she's pulling out her cellphone and with be panic dialing until someone picks up :/]

[hallowedshore]

Stop. Stop it.

[He'll start thrashing so violently he's going to end up hurting himself or wrenching an arm out of socket or something if she calls someone. He's panicking on his own, for other reasons.]

[daddyhasagun]

I won't! I won't stop until I help you!

[dialing dialing someone pick up she doesn't even know what numbers she's pushing]

[hallowedshore]

You can't help me!

[This is probably the loudest Aden has ever been without deliberately trying to trick or scare someone. The loudest he's ever been not in good fun. He's practically screaming.]

[daddyhasagun]

Then I'll get someone who can! I told you that I'm not leaving you, Aden!

[Kira's trembling from everything, her hands shaking as she hits re-dial, trying to get through to her Aunt Riku, since her and Uncle Red will be the mostly likely to know what's going on]

[hallowedshore]

Kira, please, don't do this. Please.

[He will beg if that's what it takes.]

[daddyhasagun]

You saying not to do this means that I should! You're not yourself, Aden! And if I can't help you, I'll get someone who can, even if you hate me!

[Kira is shouting while still holding her cellphone, and she happened to manage to connect to a 'Riku' under her speed dial]

[clockworknomore]

[and the 'Riku' that is overhearing this conversation is probably one of the better ones to have answered, all things considered, and his voice is booming through the loudspeaker]

Kira?! What the hell is going on? Why are you calling me and shouting at Aden?

[hallowedshore]

[It's a good thing he's behind that barrier, because he would have tried to hurt either her or himself pretty badly by now.]

Nothing! Just hang up, for fuck's sake.

[daddyhasagun]

C-cousin Riku! Aden's going crazy! Help!

[Kira is struggling with the barrier considering how her emotions are fluctuating]

[clockworknomore]

[yeah, 'Riku' isn't going to take orders from punk teenage cousins and things definitely aren't right is Kira's screaming like this]

Kira! Stay where you are and stay on the line. I'll be there in a minute.
