She jumped again, displaying that it most definitely was not stopping anytime soon. Ada gave a pathetic sob. Why was this happening? Why was this happening now?
“Yeah I hear you, you smug little fuck!” she screamed at the empty ship hanger. She was glad it was empty. She couldn’t bear anyone seeing her like this. She gave another whimper, staring at the state of her hands.
This had to end. And it had to end now.
She bolted from her place curled up on the floor, racing from the ship hanger and through the castle. She mentally begged that she didn’t run into anyone before reaching her destination. She gave a sigh of relief when she made it uninterrupted, pounding on Drun’s bedroom door.
Drun had been going over more notes and books, making sure he was absolutely prepared for what he was about to do. He may have asked one of his siblings to hack a thing or two, and they’d discovered that Midge had had a conversation with Addie after talking to Harmonia. That meant all of them except Ada were hearing the singing, not to mention Addie had actually managed to trace the signal. Drun prided himself on being an excellent pilot (something his instructors seemed very surprised about. He could never figure out why.)
When he heard the pounding on his door and scrambled to hide everything, certain that it had to be one of his parents. Had they found out his plan? Once everything was put squarely away he ran over to his door and opened it. “Ada? What are you doing here?”
Ada barely allowed Drun to get the question out before she barged in, quickly closing the door behind her. She shuffled uncomfortably, keeping her hands close to her chest. She should have found some rubber gloves or something before coming here. Her mind was shot to hell.
“How do we make it stop?” she asked, her voice quiet.
Drun rose a brow. He could tell his sister was obviously distraught. Which was saying something. Ada typically didn’t show a whole emotion unless it was anger. Or irritation, if that counted. “Make what stop?” he asked, his tone both concerned and confused.
Ada whirled around, tears threatening to spill from the edges of her eyes. “The voices! The singing! I need it to stop I can’t-,” she was cut off by her hands beginning to glow and buzz, making her scream a little. The lights in Drun’s room flickered and Ada’s voice grew small and desperate. “I need it to stop, Drun. I need it to stop.”
Drun stared at his sister, dumbfounded. His eyes darted from the ceiling down to Ada’s hands. The sparks and flashes were unmistakable. And also, well, shocking. “Ada...when did…” He trails off, unsure how to word this question. His mind raced. He could hear that singing so loudly right now
“Ada...I have an idea about how to make it stop. But...you’re not gonna like it…”
Ada’s brow furrows. “If you’re suggesting that we-,”
“FINE FINE OKAY!” She growled a little. She hated this idea. She hated it so much. “Fine. When do we leave?”
Drun sighed in relief, his antennae perking up excitedly. “We’ll have to wait until we’re sure everyone is asleep. But if we play our card right we can make it out tonight? You down?”
Ada set her jaw, looking very much like her father. She didn’t want to do this. Everything about it sounded like a trap. But if they got the answers they were looking for...if it helped her with...whatever this was…
“Alright. But if we get caught I’m pinning everything on you.”
Drun snorted. “Yeah, I figured.”
