(Amaia)
(This chapter is for @Janelle. Thanku so much for the gifts.)
Where did Rigel come from?
The shock of his sudden appearance leaves my limbs frozen. My feet refuse to move.
"Rigel?"
I try to calm him down but he is so agitated and out of control. His eyes have this wildness about them, it's untamable in that moment.
"No, tell me where my mother is." A child who was snatched from his mother and subjected to torture and rape.
I understand why he is acting like that. The hope of reuniting with his mother, who might have gone through the same abuse has him so hysterical.
His gaze waver from me to Alnilam.
"Alnilam open the door, I can't hold myself much longer," he demands.
"I am sorry….I am sorry Amaia. This is not how I wanted our reunion but I can't…"
Rigel's body is shaking, the rage exuding from him is terrifying, even for me.
I try to take a step towards him but Alnilam grabs my wrist, holding me back.
