The machines constant, stead, beeps used to annoy Vivian when she first arrived. Every beep was like nails on chalkboard, her skull threatening to split in half, but it was likely nothing more then the pain and extreme exhaustion settling in. Over the course of several days, the constant beeping of the machine had fallen into the background, white noise to her brain as it left her and Wolf, who refused to leave her side encase there was an attempt on her life, to put the pieces of their life together. The thing they had been helping had been a mad eater of worlds hellbent on consuming all, she should have seen that one coming a mile away, but in truth, she probably just didn't want to. She had found something she had never had but always wanted, a family. A place to belong. A place to be needed. Vivian had been willing to overlook much, curtail her own intellect and curiosity if it meant preserving that fragile paradise she had. But now? Now it was gone. The manor was left in rubble, the creature was seal back from whence it came and Simon... Simon was gone. The pain and sorrow were not all that was in her heart, a small knot had started to form, a knot of rage. He did it. Violet's 'friend'. He had unleashed the creature, he had killed countless people all over the globe, he had taken away her family. The why did not matter. She needed something. Anything. To hold onto. To keep pushing on and revenge.. Revenge worked nicely. She would find him, and he would suffer. His magic stripped from him, locked in the darkness, alone, for eternity. No light. No sound. No hope. He would dwell in the same place Simon now was. Vivian raised her heavily bandaged hands, hands that had been torn to shreds a few days ago by the mirrors and tried to close them, the pain flared in her forearms. If Violet and her power rangers would not do it, then Vivian would do it.
"Vivian, Simon's parents are here," Wolf said as he shut his phone. The large wolf's upper chest was bandaged, a small hole had been punched into his lung during his battle, but as a monster, wolf had great durability and regeneration, it was already almost healed. Vivian was a bit envious of that.
"O-Okay," Vivian said as she closed her eyes, "Let them in."
She had prepared for this. Vivian had spent the last night mulling over what to say, how to say it, and she had come up with an answer. What she would say was flawless, well thoughtout, it would convey her sorrow for their loss, explain what happened without telling too much, it would...
The Halloway's stepped into her room, Mr. Halloway looked distant, remote, while Mrs. Halloway looked.. broken. Her luscious hair had almost seemed to fade, her skin was pale, her eyes misty. They looked to Vivian and waited.
They knew.
In their hearts, they knew Simon was gone. Killed in the attack like so many others. Vivian opened her mouth to say what she practiced, but the words didn't come out. That was so odd. She had it all planned out, she.. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice raw and ragged as it tore out of her throat.
The world became hazy as tears welled up in her eyes and began to spill out down her cheeks, her mind gave up trying to say what she planned as hiccups bubbled out of her chest as she dry heaved, "I'm so sorry."
Mrs. Halloway rushed over and wrapped Vivian in her arms, lost in pain, and for the first time in.. a long time, a warm embrace, Vivian tried to clutch onto Mrs. Halloway with her broken hands as she screamed into her chest.
