Finn frowned at the floor, little fist shaking with rage. He could hear his sister crying in the other room, her sobs making his anger rise higher and higher. His shadows wrapped around him, pulsing in tune with his heart. He was so angry. He'd never been this upset in his life.
A hand settled on his shoulder and Finn looked up into Na'amah's smiling face. He rushed into her arms, clinging to the woman. Na'amah gently shushed the boy, folding Finn into her embrace.
"I'm going to kill him." Finn felt Na'amah breathe sharply and curled closer to the demon. He knew he shouldn't say such things. Simon would be furious if he knew Finn had even entertained the thought.
"Sweetheart…" Na'amah was staring down at him in concern and Finn shook his head. He would not be dissuaded.
"I mean it. I'll kill the Vampire King." He could feel his soul reaching out, blood promise made. He would kill the Vampire King. Kill anyone who dared harm his family. The man had hurt his sister. Had turned her against her will, Marceline screaming and crying beneath him. He deserved the worst punishment, the harshest torture for what he had done. His father had already drawn up an assassination contract, wanting the Vampire King killed before him. Finn knew Simon disapproved but what were they to do? Let the Vampire King go unpunished?
Finn sighed and let himself relax in Na'amah's arms, the woman gently stroking his hair. He pushed down on the tears that threatened to well in his eyes. He would not cry, not while his sister suffered. He was too old for that now. He would need to be responsible.
