Avery shakes his head. "That's impossible. She's never acted like this before." He glares up at the wizard. "The Vanessa I know would never have done this. You have to have done something to her!"
It should make anger rise in him all over again. Instead, there's nothing but a hollow sense of emptiness.
Couldn't he have gloated? Smirked and made him believe that, yes, that was exactly what happened? Dragged him further and further down? The wizard had already destroyed his life by saving it, had transformed him into some soul stealing monster with a parasite in his guts, but this...
Somehow, this hurts the most of all.
"I'm going to bed," Avery mutters, and pushes himself to his feet. Every step feels weighted, dragged behind him. The beautiful green of the forest just looks grey.
