Advent

Advent looked down with a faint smile but it was easy enough to see it was fake if you knew him well enough “The worst thing about living in a constant darkness is being afraid of it Chloe...” he moved his head to the side very slightly “You can never know what's coming so can't defend yourself from it, so you live in that constant fear of being harmed” his voice was low as he spoke though kept that fake smile the whole time “I am one who is afraid of the dark, my mother was a very mean drunk and would beat and be little me for no reason at all, but I think the worst one was when she blamed me for being born blind.” he knew that he couldn't have been blamed for but still at the same time because he was blamed over and over again he felt like it was his fault at some level. “As for my father he was never really here and when he was he had all the emotion of a dead fish towards me... to tell the truth he would likely have shown more emotion to the dead fish.” he said his head lowering his head, he was glad for the blindfold he wore as he could how he felt knowing eyes even ones such as his couldn't lie even if a face could. “I wouldn't feel bad over yesterday, I don't let anyone know about my disability or things may be called into question and really that's the last thing we need.” he kept his head down as he spoke.

“Clo, there is always a reason for what I do even if it doesn't make any sense at the time. The techs are my family and just like my father I will protect it that's why I created such rules as 'don't go after hunters' because it puts everyone within our family and their families in danger.” he knew it was cautious but then techs had never been ones to run in foolishly “I ask that you don't tell people that I'm blind there is no need to change things and I really don't want to be treated differently” he said honestly it was the last thing he wanted and needed with the rest of the crap he had on his plate. “I am not exactly one hundred percent blind I had an augmented implant, it has a few nifty abilities but I still have no idea what anyone or anything looks like or even the color of things.” hearing the next part he nodded.

“I am not getting an awful lot of information and what I am getting makes absolutely no sense so I'll have to go do some leg work so to speak, but it's because if the little information that does make sense is why we are going lo-tech until we can find the full picture.” he said tilting his head as she seemed to jump to her feet and spoke about not messing around “Please Clo, Ava is as good as family to me I wouldn't fuck around when she is in danger.” he stood up and moved forward “The school that contacted the police this morning was the one that was in between our territory, the candies and the vamps.” he said and that made him realize that there was only one “Ava is in trouble... the hunters took every student and killed four people.” he said though shook his head “Clo we need to get a plan of action going in half assed isn't going to do anyone any good and possibly make everyone a damn target” he knew the next part was going to be hard for her to do as it was for himself or Zaki “promise me Clo that you will detach for the moment, this can't be personal... that's when careless mistakes are made.” he clenched his hands not liking the situation and it was clearly seen on his face.
