Story

“How long are you going to let him run?”

“I won’t take his heart by force.”

Toulouse let out a small chuckle, the increasing proximity of their pairs in the living world allowing their realms of darkness to overlap. Soon they could see each other, their bodies starkly contrasting against the surrounding blackness. “You got paired with a skittish human.”

“It’s because Quinten isn’t unhinged the way Quillian is,” Atalo replied, irritated. “Quillian gets hot for horror. Your very nature seduced him.” He paused, hearing the voice faintly echo through from the living world.

”You realize you need him, don’t you?”

Atalo grimaced slightly. “Quinten’s answer to everything in his life has been to run -- when it devoured his parents and his little brother he simply erased his memories. Even now, thirteen years later, he feels no desire to recover them. He’s never been conscious of me, the way Quillian always was of you.”

“Most people live their whole lives and die without ever becoming conscious of their pair,” Toulouse replied, feeling a small pang of sympathy at Atalo’s air of dejection. “But keeping your worlds separate isn’t a luxury he can afford anymore.”

“I took his heart by force the night it came for him, while it devoured his family as it sought him...when his terror seized him so strongly I was able to grasp it, just for a second, just long enough to protect him…” Atalo put his head in his hand, brow furrowed in vexation. “It was too much of a shock for him. He was a child. I won’t do it again.”

“If you hadn’t done it, you would both be dead,” Toulouse replied firmly. “And that time is close to repeating itself. It will find him. Will you just hand him over?”

Atalo was silent, and Toulouse pretended he couldn’t see his tears.

“Quillian is calling me.” The darkness began to overtake him, swirling up around him in tendrils like black smoke. “We’ll do what we can, but I won’t risk my pair for your fight.” Soon he was completely overtaken, disappearing from their realm, stepping foot into the world Atalo painfully longed for.

“Understood.”
