“Felix.”
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph!” The sandwich he had been munching on flew from his hands as he jumped a good four inches from the ground, a pale hand draping over his shoulder like a claw. Felix whirled around with a scowl, only to have his eyes widen slightly at the sight of a woman he didn’t think he’d ever see again.
“Cassie what a... what a pleasant surprise.” He sneered at the lie as he gave her a quick once over. God, if the woman weren’t the actual devil’s incarnate, he would have totally gone for her. Cass smiled at him in amusement before tilting her head almost playfully. “The feeling is mutual, darling. I must say, your reaction was much more entertaining compared to Hades’. He was always such a... dull dud.” Felix narrowed his eyes at the mention of the archer, guard immediately pulled up because surely, the fact that Cass had gone to see both Hades and him was a bad sign.
“I thought I told you not to go near him again.” Felix pointed out, only to have Cass hum in thought.
“Circumstances have changed.”
“Who cares about circumstance.”
“It seems... you do.” She tugged at the green of his uniform and smirked. “I’m sorry about your brother.” Ah yes... those circumstances. He tried not to think about the implication behind her condolences, eyes still severely narrowed as he watched her circle him like the vulture she was.
“Why are you here? I thought demons couldn’t stand the sun.”
“Still as charming as ever, I see. Calm down, I have no issue with you. It’s the other one I’m after. Or should I say... the other one and a handful more.” Another feral smile. Another chill down his spine.
“So it’s Catalyst you’re after. Do I want to know why?”
“You know why. I’ve heard talk. Didn’t you want to dismantle the whole guild system altogether not too long ago?” He hated how well informed she was. He sneered at her before shrugging his shoulders.
“I don’t know what I want anymore.”
“Well, that’s the difference between you and me, hun. I follow through.” She bared her teeth before patting his cheek lightly. “We can achieve your goal together, you an I. I’ll even forgive that little tiff you and I had way back when you so sweetly helped little old Hades get away from me.” Another memory he tried to keep hidden in his mind.
“Stay in touch, darling, alright? You know where to find me.” And with that, she floated away, disappearing like fog through the trees, leaving Felix trembling and shaken... and the familiar feeling of protectiveness rushing through his system like a river.
Oh great. This again.
