Well that plan had gone to hell. All Aya needed to do was just touch him and use her power, but right as she'd been about to, memories of the man's face flashed through her mind and she'd hesitated – apparently long enough for Sebastian to use [i]his[/i] powers on her.

[color=mediumspringgreen]"Ah–!"[/color] she gasped when she felt something sharp prick her skin and invade her blood. Her eyes widened and the color drained from her face as Sebastian dropped all pretenses and threatened her, his acidic voice heavy with promises. Aya could only stare, full of shock and terror as she was forced to look up at him. 

Following his command, she walked into the building on wooden legs, clutching her hand to her chest. The metallic smell of blood was like a slap in the face when she walked through the door. She'd already known what horrors were here, but seeing it in the physical world… stark crimson splashed against the otherwise benign living room… the overpowering odor of carnage… Aya almost threw up all over again. This was what this man would do to her. This was how some unfortunate stranger would find her, indistinguishable from the rest of the gore – unless she did as he said and made herself useful.

Taking a deep breath (and immediately regretting it) Aya spun around to face him.

[color=mediumspringgreen]"You're Sebastian Lyone,"[/color] she said as if she'd known about him for years. Her voice was fragile and quivering, but she supposed there was no helping that. Honestly she was lucky she hadn't fainted yet. [color=mediumspringgreen]"Isabella and the doctor are playing you,"[/color] she said, repeating the names she'd heard. Her mind turned around in circles, replaying the scene she'd witnessed and trying to find anything she could use. [color=mediumspringgreen]"In two weeks after Eden's born, you're just going to end up back in a cage. A much stronger one, this time."[/color] Trying to muster up whatever composure she had left, Aya drew herself up to her full height and tried to stop herself from shaking (but couldn't stop a few more traitorous tears from leaking down her face) as she continued, [color=mediumspringgreen]"You could maybe stop that from happening on your own, sure, but it'll be less of a pain in the ass if you have me."[/color] Aya didn't understand most of what she was saying, but hopefully Sebastian would. She just had to lie her way out of these five minutes and then she was in the clear… she hoped. As long as she didn't have flashbacks and screw it up again. If not, then… at least she could use her power on herself and have a painless death. 

God, that was a morbid thought.
