When All Is Lost and Gone

The boy's gaze shifted to Harmony questioningly, wondering what else she would do to help her father. His stare was almost pleading; though his father's injuries certainly were not fatal, they weren't good either and the thought that someone could've done this to him was thoroughly distressing. And they hadn't just hurt him -- someone had taken his aunt Rhythm, too. The initial panic that had filled his chest had calmed slightly, instead replaced by something like anger. "Oh," was all he could breathe. If someone could so easily hurt his father, and take his aunt, it pained him to imagine what else they could do to his family if they wanted. The thought of his siblings or his mother being in danger made him feel afraid -- an emotion that he was unused to feeling. The rest of the story was surprising. Rhythm had decided to leave Abaven, of her own accord? Why would she ever want to do that? And it seemed that his father had banished her from coming home. It wasn't a surprise. Why would she decided to leave, when Bass had put his life on the line to keep her with them? He felt his lips pulling back in a sneer. Already he didn't like the sound of this Imperium, and he couldn't help but wonder why Rhythm had decided to stay there after what they had done to Bass. He felt his limbs quivering slightly as he stared at his father, feeling that this all was so wrong and wanting to somehow avenge him... though he knew there was nothing he could do to help. |
