He turns around, glaring from me to the knife. Shock blots his perfect face at first, but then anger twists him into darkness and the hard lines. He pushes my raised hand down, taking the knife from me and throwing it out the window. He only whispers one thing. “Julietta,” Not “Juliette” or “Jules” he takes both of my hands with gentleness. “Julietta, no. Don’t.” I open my mouth, ready to do it. To force him to let me. I came here to do a job anyway If I don’t do it I’ll be going against it. My heart thumps in my chest as I prepare to speak. He’s ready for it, and his hand is already covering my mouth. “Julietta, what is going on Tell me. You’re trying to kill me. Your friend. You’re boyfriend… sh” “You don’t swear.” I remind him. “Your Christianity is important to you,” His arms wrap around me, and for a second my guilt is out the window with the knife. Kaizen lets go right after though. “Thank you.” The invisible wall is between us again. “But you’re here to kill me. Why” My mouth won’t work. “Why Julietta I don’t see you doing this. And you can’t beguile yourself so what happened” “I’m sorry, Kaizen. I’m sorry.” He doesn’t know about what Angel did to him in his sleep, but Kevin cried about it. When Angel beguiling Kaizen in his sleep made Kevin cry we knew there was terrible damage done, but Angel has a different type of power than me and Kevin’s mind was erased. Kevin doesn’t remember that night. He doesn’t know Kaizen’s new job to set clocks on Kevin and Azaria. “But you’re going to do something that’s going to hurt you brother. And Azaria too. You just don’t know you’re going to do it because you were beguiled to.” “By you” “By Angel.” Kaizen’s nose crinkles. “That delinquent has power” “Look around you Kaizen Where are we” I gesture to the place to Azaria and Kevin’s unconscious bodies. And to the chain in Kaizen’s hand. He sees it like he didn’t know he was carrying the fifty pound thing this whole time, and his arm begins to tremble in their direction. “Azaria, how do I stop Stop it” “I” I cough, hurting from the invisible punch. It’s the only time my stupid ability matters and I can’t do anything. Anything. “I don’t have the ability to reverse a command,” Tears spring from Kaizen’s eyes as he struggles against himself. “Well then help me Pull me out of here,” Instead of reaching for his arm successfully I’m forced backwards into a warm body. “Not tonight. Stay away from him unless you want to get hurt. Touching him at this point neither of you will help.” It’s Angel. His gleaming smirk makes me sick.
