we didn't start the [FIRE IN ABAVEN]

Noir was relaxing under the maple tree when he heard the thunder. His raven Summer was off who knew where, if he called her though he knew she’d come. The bird didn’t often linger in his presence just for the heck of it, but she did do exactly as she was told. The boy might have continued to sleep there for the rest of the day, but Poem’s annoying voice was suddenly in his ear. He heard his dad’s call, it didn’t seem directed at him he should have been able to continue his nap.

He peeked an eye at her as she tried to order him around. The last thing he was going to do was listen to Poem, but a plan was already forming in his head. A way to finally get back at her. Their parents and all of the adults would be too invested in the hectic events, no one would be paying attention to his actions. He sighed heavily and found his feet. Poem even smiled at him. He felt himself smirk as they got on their way.

The boy was not as impressed with the flame as Poem, which worked in his favor. As she stood frozen against the backdrop of destruction Noir took his chance. He circled around making sure no one was around to see, and gaining as much speed as possible barrelled into his sister’s form. She was sent tumbling towards the fire. The boy felt himself grin as a sense of elation filled him as he watched his hated sister roll right through the fire. Unfortunately he hadn’t been smart enough to realize the river was right in her path.

His grin disappeared as she fell into the water with a splash. With narrowed eyes he gave her one last look before vacating. No need for anyone to catch him at the scene.

-exit Noir?-
