Aradia was getting ready to go to another house to rid the ghosts that haunted it…It was just another normal day for her, she loved doing it and she had a gift to talk to the spirits, so why not use it?
As she entered the house she felt a sudden chill, it spread all the way up her spine to her neck, this obviously wasn't rare in her work. She was a psychic medium, for God's sake! After she got over the chill, which didn't take long, she heard someone. They said, with a lisp in their voice,
"Get out, asshole". Well, what a nice welcoming. It's not the worse she's been called trying to rid the spirits, so she was fine with this lame excuse of a 'threat'.
Aradia continued through the house…It wasn't that bad. It didn't give off a particularly frightening vibe, it was more like invading someone's house who didn't want you there. Like if you were at a friend's house and their parents weren't a major fan of guests.
As she got to the living room part of the house, she saw someone sitting down, they had a boy figure with short-ish black hair. He was crouching over with his head in his hands. This didn't shock her much, it could just be someone who lived here who was going through some hard times.
Aradia sat beside the figure, trying not to make too much noise in case the sudden noise would scare them.
"Hello," Aradia says, with a calm gist to her voice. She waited a couple of seconds and the figure did not reply.
"I am here to help you." she says, still with a calm voice but sounding a bit more demanding, as she was demanding for an answer.
"Help? I don't need help, especially from you." He said, the words coming out like poison. He had a really bad lisp.
Aradia thought for a minute before replying. She needed to think of something that would persuade the boy to open up to her…Who he was and what he was doing here. She put her hand on his shoulder, it was slightly shaky.
"What do you want?" He said, stopping the shaking.
"I want to know why you're here." Aradia said, trying to get him to look up.
"My name is Sollux. Sollux Captor."
