Ophelia's attention was disrupted by Jax shouting, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?" She was looking right at the bite mark on Roxas's neck. Damnit, Ophelia thought to herself. Quickly though Roxas came up with an excuse, and Ophelia knew Jax wasn't stupid enough to believe him. Instead of waiting for Jax to answer, Ophelia moved instantly toward Jax, picking her up without any trouble and disappearing into her own bedroom. She put Jax down on the bed and stared at her intensely. “It’s not what you think,” she says, chewing the inside of her bottom lip slightly.Jax’s eyes turned green as she was about to speak. Suddenly she found herself on Ophelia’s bed, Hargul absent from her shoulder and left with the boys. Her rage was visibly apparent but her voice was calm,
"Oh because it’s a snake bite. That’s a very reasonable explanation. Ophelia. Why would I be angry about that...oh wait. BECAUSE I’M NOT A FUCKING IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING! YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW THAT ASSHOLE!”She leaned forward, clutching at her chest for a few minutes in pain,
"DO YOU BOTH...UGH...DO YOU BOTH THINK I AM STUPID. IS THE WORD RETARD ON MY...UGH...FACE!” She leaned forward trying to catch her breath as she was getting worked up.
“Jax he’s not as bad as you think. Calm down, you’re going to give yourself a heart attack for goodness sake. I know I fucked up. He doesn’t know about it. Please, don’t say anything…” Ophelia’s voice was barely a whisper in response to Jax’s shouting. “I don’t think you’re stupid. He offered… It’s not like we had sex. Just, relax for five seconds. It doesn’t mean I even need to be with him. You know that.”
Ophelia looked at her sister with pleading eyes, the blue grey of them turning silver. She felt bad that the boys could probably hear her shouting at Ophelia through the walls, and as she waited for Jax’s response, she changed her clothing into something more comfortable.This is the moment when Jax would usually simmer down, talk rationally to her sister, because to be honest, her response was reasonable..but in this moment, Jax was not herself. She was beaten, she was angry and she was on drugs so this is what her mind came up with,
"DON’T SAY ANYTHING! DON’T SAY ANYTHING. I SHOULD RELAX BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T BANG HIM! OH WELL GOLLY! LET’S SING TO THE ANGELS MY SISTER DIDN’T BANG A DUDE SHE BARELY MET….OH...AHHHHH.” She had stood up in her tyrant and tried to raise her fists, but pain shot straight into her spine and she leaned over feeling as if she was going to puke. She paused, her tone turning softer but the anger still visible,
"The fact he doesn’t know about bonding only makes it worse Ophelia because it’s not fair to..to...THAT...I COULD FUCKING KILL HIM RIGHT NOW. YES I KNOW I SOUND CRAZY! BUT I AM PISSED OFF, that you are making me feel bad for HIM! Urghhh...ow ow ow.”Ophelia simply watched and listened in silence while Jax went on her tirade. Until she said she could kill Roxas that instant. Suddenly, all rational thoughts left Ophelia’s mind and she shifted into an angry crouch, a snarl leaving her lips towards Jax, her fangs bared. “I will kill you, so help me God, Jax Penelope, if you lay a finger on him.” Her eyes burned angrily, and she shifted in front of her bedroom door as though to block the way, though knowing Jax was injured and too slow to reach it without taking her time.
“Plus, I have a feeling you seem to be pretty good at keeping secrets anyway as of late.” Ophelia took a stab at Jax, bitter that she had hid the fight against Titan from her. And despite that having nothing to do with this situation, Ophelia was angry now too. Jax stood straight, watching her sister snarl and get into a fighting stance. Her eyes widened, her palms beginning to glow out of instinct. Jax would never hurt Ophelia even if it could save her life. Hell she knew the odds of her even winning were slim, especially right now but her body reacted to threats. She grit her teeth, feeling guilty about lying,
"YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER LET ME FIGHT HIM...and this is different and you know it! Look at you. You’re about to rip me to shreds because I threatened him.I’M YOUR SISTER. It’s already starting.”She took a step towards the door,
"YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW HIM! ARE YOU HEARING ME! YOU’RE GOING TO GET HURT AND I AM THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO HAVE TO PICK UP THE PIECES.”Hargul sat on the coffee table as the girls screamed. He picked up an orange and bit right through the peel staring up at Roxas with juice streaming down his cheeks,”You get shitspoon...It’s okay...Hargul make your bones into necklace. Hargul bought bedazzler at Micheal’s. Skull can be on princess castle.” He bit into the orange again, looking over at Morthos,”Brotherkin let Hargul bedazzle horns?!?!” He asked in anticipation.
Ophelia took a step towards Jax as she stepped towards the door, her crouch loosening slightly so she stood more straight. “Well maybe if you actually weren’t so scared of my reactions, you could talk to me like you should be able to, sister,” she spoke, her words laced with venom. She stood now fully and stared at Jax, trying to calm herself down, the sound of Roxas’ heart beating in the other room loudly apparent to her.
“You don’t know the first thing there is to know about love anyway, Jax. All you ever do is sleep around. So why not mind your own for once instead of worrying about me?” Ophelia held her own, waiting to see if Jax would finally back off.Jax grit her teeth, screaming back at Ophelia with a retort
"I AM NOT SCARED OF YOU OPHELIA..I…” She stopped at the second sentence, taking a step back. She listened to what she said, and her expression turned inward. She spoke softly, her tone pulled in as she hid her emotions, although the pain was apparent,
“That was below the belt and you know it...I shouldn’t..I shouldn’t have been so mad, but you don’t know him, and you knew what you were doing when you drank from him. What it could mean. You are absolutely right, you want to fling yourself into this, fine. I will keep my mouth shut, but don’t talk to me about…” She looked up, her eyes watery,
“A slut like me, probably wouldn’t even know what to say anyway.”Ophelia’s nostrils flared slightly in response to everything Jax said, but she didn’t have the heart to say anything else, knowing she had hurt her at this point. “Fine,” was all she managed, and she opened up the door, thankful for the fact she usually hid her emotions well, in this case she would be embarrassed and her cheeks, were she human, would be pink. She made the short way into the kitchen and began making dinner for the three of them.
“How’s italian?” she turned her head to look over at everyone, her face completely expressionless, her eyes dull despite her being fully energized from feeding. Without waiting for anyone to respond, she began making dinner, her back turned to the group of them.Jax watched her leave, and shut her eyes, trying to calm down. A few seconds later she came out and moved to sit on the chair to the left of the boys. She watched Ophelia in the kitchen, not offering to help as Hargul hopped over to sit in her lap. She pet him, her expression cold as she looked over at Morthos whispering an,
"I’m sorry about that...” Her eyes never touched Roxas but the tension was there.
