Untelling Tales

The man stood up with his face serious as his brows furrowed ”Im doing my job.”

Ahyas eyes widened showing a storm of emotions, his face showing a furious look ”Your job is killing people!” Ahya shouted at him,

His fists clenching nails piercing the skin of his palm. The figure in front of him simply sighing ”No my job is to find out what did this.”

His black air blowing slightly with the calm breeze that shouldn have been possible in the thin alleyway. Ahya slowly walking forward with an obvious distrust in the mans words as the black eyed figure crossed his arms, Ahya glaring slightly before letting out a quiet whisper ”I want to help them.”

The man let out a small chuckle ”Fine, but introduce yourself first.” Ahya hesitating slightly from how easy it was to join the investigation before letting out a response

”My name is Ahya.” walking towards main street the opposing figure replies ”Really well my name is Zion, Zion Evensky.”

Stepping onto main street a black strick bolted across his vision barely catching that it was there at all ”Did you see that” only to get shushed by Zion before he could continue.

Taking quiet steps forward Zion pushed his arm in front of him before finally speaking ”We should continue tomorrow.”

Taking the lead as they started their journey home, a tense air between them.

”So, where will you be staying?” Ahya asked in an attempt to break the silence

Zion took a glance at him before feeding

his curiosity ”Probably go to a motel or something.”

Ahya sighing slightly before taking a small guess ”You don know where you
e staying…”

Zion looked at his feet before he could

mutter out an answer through his embarrassment ”No.”

Sighing Ahya grumbles pinching his nose before looking ”You can stay at my house for the night, only because I don trust you though”

The two spent the rest of the walk in silence the slight tapping of there heels being the only thing

The sky settles into darker hues as time goes on, only taking a few minutes until they get to the small cottage Anya pulls out a key to unlock the door before glancing back at Zion,

”This is my house, get comfortable Ill bring out something for you to wear.” He says pulling Zion in by his cape before leaving the room.

Throwing a simple black shirt and sweatpants before leaving once again. Reaching his own room

Ahya pulls his hair up tying it with a ribbon before changing his own clothing into something more comfortable.

In the other room Zion lays on the couch pulling a small file out of his bag, opening the file to reveal a series of notes that seems almost like a delusional mans rambling with mentions of a crimson fog and a bony monster whose skin seems to have been made of coal.

Zion briefly looks up at Ahya as he walks

in a thick blanket along with a pillow

throwing them on top of Zion

As he makes his way to the kitchen pulling out a pot along with ingredients to make beef stew and his homemade bread with butter to top it.

Snapping the file shut Zion raises his eyebrows ”What are you doing.”

As Ahya looks at him like he said its the stupidest thing hes heard all morning before answering with a deplaned look on his face ”Im cooking…”

Proceeding to continue making dinner for the two of them the smell of the food makes his stomach rumble causing Ahya to look back, a slight smile coming to his face.

Ahya serves two bowls of the stew one for himself one for Zion with a piece of bread putting the butter on the dining room table.

”Dinners done, you should eat.” Ahya told Zion.

Looking at the table he picked up a spoon scooping some stew up, eating quickly he smiled slightly before speaking, ”thank you.” Eating some of his bread.

They finish up dinner before Zion looks up with a more serious expression ”I need to continue my investigation, Ill be heading back to the scene tomorrow.”

Ahya picks up the dishes as he replies ”I have school so youll have to wait for me to finish.”

Zion sighs slightly ”We
e wasting too much time. Ill go alone, its not a big deal besides I know we
e missing something and we can afford to wait.”

Only for Ahya to puff out his cheeks and lecture him ”Hey if this person is really that dangerous I can let you go alone now get dressed well discuss this tomorrow!”

Raising his eyebrow, the subject of this lecture starts to pull off his shirt only to get pushed into the bathroom, the door slamming behind him.

Does this man have no sense of personal space! Ahya thinks of a sudden urge to punch the other raising before quickly being suppressed.

Coming out a bit later Zion is welcomed by the sight of clean dishes and Ahya leaning on the side of the stairs opening his eyes when he approaches

”You
e done? Well get some rest Ill see you in the morning-” Ahya starts only to get cut off by a sharp scream.
