~Switching POV. This time Anna's telling the story. Anna, Chaos, and Aaron are my property. Any familiar sounding characters are AAR characters.~
As soon as Aaron came into Las Noches, I felt guilty. Chaos felt shocked initially, I could tell. I had betrayed his trust. I remember him telling me that he did not want to see his brother. Ever. So, by getting Chaos to come here, I really was pushing it. Chaos looked at me, his face was blank, but his aura told the story. He felt angry and betrayed. I did not meet his gaze. I felt ashamed.
Aaron had asked me to bring his brother here, so Chaos and Aaron could talk. I doubted they would talk. They would probably fight and argue. If not, why did they avoid each other?
"Chaos, long time, no see," Aaron said. While Chaos was cold most of the time, Aaron was warm. Aaron was rather boring in appearance, though. Well, at least when you compare him to Chaos. Aaron had a kind of reddish hair and his eyes were black. Chaos had black hair, but blood red ran through it. His eyes were a reddish hue as well, giving him a kind of demonic appearance.
Right now, Aaron looked kind of uneasy. Most of the vampires and humans had left. You could feel tension in this situation, it was thick and heavy. Jager remained though. He was entertained, I guess. You could never really tell with Jager.
I sat at the table, trying to act like the floor was the most interesting thing I had ever seen. Chaos stood up, his back turned to Aaron.
"What do you want, Aaron?" Chaos said, his voice cold enough that it sent chills up and down my spine. Obviously it had the same effect on Aaron, he visibly pulled back.
"Sorry for what I said, way back when. I was being ignorant. I still had a lot to learn, Chaos," Aaron said in a calm tone, though I could tell that the way his brother acted was hurting his feelings.
There was silence for a while. I sat there, wondering if Chaos would ever forgive me. Aaron sat down beside me. I saw Chaos's eyes narrow.
"I have been waiting to talk to you for a long time. It took a long time to convince Anna to arrange our meeting. I admit there is more than one reason for me being here. I want to make peace with you, brother. Please forgive me," Aaron said pleadingly. Chaos looked suspicious.
"I'll think about it. What is the other reason for you meeting with me?" Chaos asked, his voice even. Aaron shifted uneasily. I couldn't believe this. Aaron was trying to reconcile, and Chaos shot down his attempts.
Jager must have been getting bored with us, he disappeared. The only other person present was Kaei. She ignored the confrontation.
"Hunters are after me. A Vida I think," Aaron said quietly. Chaos's head snapped up.
"Why is a Vida after you?" Chaos said. His true emotion began showing; worry was etched on his face.
"I don't know..."
I thought for a while. And an answer came to me.
"Maybe one of the Vidas saw me with you, Aaron. When a witch is changed, the Hunters declare war," I said. Aaron looked contemplative.
"I don't want to be killed," I said softly. I enjoyed my immortality. I didn't want it taken away already.
Chaos leaned across the table and traced my jawbone with his finger. "The hunter will not touch you at all. If the Vida wants a fight she shall get one from me," Chaos said in a quiet voice. An undercurrent of anger was audible in his voice.
He turned back to Aaron. He looked at him, as if his eyes could see through to his soul. "That applies to you as well, Aaron. No one touches my brother. Except for me." The last sentence was playful and Chaos flashed his brother a toothy grin.
"Thanks, Ad.... I mean Chaos," Aaron said, catching himself before he said his brother's real name.
All of a sudden, a Hunter was in New Mayhem's boundaries. I could feel the magic on my skin.
"Leave," Chaos commanded to Aaron and I. I left hesitantly. I felt bad. He was fighting all of our battles for us.
