"We have seen him kill!" Joshua exploded at Aaron. "Tell me why I should stay here and risk my daughter's life?"
Aaron opened his mouth as if to answer but closed it after a moment. Joshua was right. It was too risky for Ilona to stay here while that madman, the dark and twisted version of his eldest son, wandered the streets, killing seemingly at will. "You're right, Joshua," he said slowly, finally. "I was just hoping for her to stay, in the off chance that maybe.."
Joshua nodded, knowing what his friend was getting at. "It's too much of a risk," he said quietly. "There's no telling how much of him.. is in him.."
Aaron nodded. "Don't.. don't tell me where you're going, lest I slip and tell him."
Joshua nodded. "Of course, Aaron," he said quietly. "I'll pray for his safe return."
"As will I," Aaron said, his pale gaze drifting to stare out into the night, silently praying that the night won't end with more blood shed.
