You stupid bitch! he shouted, charging towards Mrs Wilks, not too sure what his plan was yet.
Don't go blaming me, deary. I just gave the order, she giggled, looking perfectly comfortable and at ease for an elderly woman being held against a wall telekinetically.
Oh, is that all? asked Noah, his tone sarcastic and pained. Just told some faceless dick to kill her, and that was that. I can't believe you can't be human - better than human - and still let people do that. Worse, tell people to do that. You could have stopped it, you could have saved her, you could have saved so many of them. How many families have you broken apart, by simply giving orders?
She knew as well as he did that he was just stalling, trying to think of a plan - a way to kill her and then escape. But he was finding himself even questioning that - should he really leave? What good was it now? But almost immediatly, he corrected himself. As much as it hurt, as much as it was his fault, he had to keep fighting.
I didn't tell some 'faceless dick' to kill your aunt, Noah. The woman who killed your aunt.. You've seen a lot more of her than just her face
He looked up at that, putting two and two together in almost a second. Red? He didn't need to verbalise the question - there was more than just malice in her tone, there was truth.
