as the spells falls from her lips and weaves itself into the ears of her victim, anya can't help but feel both guilty and accomplished. the use of her power on this man is unneeded. but at the same time, she feels like he deserves it for one reason or another that may or may not lay in his past.
no, she doesn't have really have reason to be putting this man through the psychological torture of part of a lifetime, but she doesn't exactly have reason not too either. she can't say she isn't enjoying watching him squirm around. perhaps she's enjoying herself a little too much because she's allowed herself to become rather oblivious of her surroundings.

as stefan approaches the street that one of the soldiers had written about, the source of all the disappearances, he thinks less and less about the contents of the report. instinct is all that guides him now, a knowledge that had been hammered into his brain and a lightness in his step that has become natural by now. his height cuts a clear path in the crowd where there normally might not have been one.
his target is a witch of some ability and he needs her alive. both of these things are true. by the time that he can see her and her victim, he no longer thinks about the things that aren't true. stefan removes a small glass ball containing a concentrated amount of knockout powder. this is upper town, and a bloody commotion would draw the ire of the nobles. the tool should suit the task.
he only catches a head of red hair before the scene disappears under a blanket of greenish-yellow smoke.

edited bc redox is old:
it doesn't take long for anya to realise something is wrong. she can tell by the taste on her tongue. it's a little bitter to her tastes, but by the time she notices, it is already too late. she passes out without a hitch.
later, she wakes up in an unfamiliar place. she sits quiet and observes, for not at least.

stefan remains standing. he does not wish to give the girl any illusion of equality.
the room is cold. clinical, if someone wanted to apply a mood to it. magic will have no pull here. stefan will not allow it.

anya wants to spit blood and fire at this man, she wants to get angry and yell because she knows what this is. this is her being interrogated over things she had no place in, but she doesn't. she knows anger won't get her anywhere in this place.
but she can't help being a little curious, "what missing people?"

he strikes her across the cheek with no warning.
"you are not a citizen in this room. i would suggest that you remember that."
he walks around her chair, if only to emphasize the difference between their situations. an illusion of control. his feet appear to be pacing, but every step is imbued with purpose.
he stops just as suddenly when he is directly behind her. he leans in beside her ear, his breath warm.
"i would also suggest making yourself useful before i force you to be. what were you planning to do to your last victim?"

her cheek stings, it hurts, and it leaves an impression.
gods, anya has no idea what she's gotten herself into this time, but she wishes that she knew. she listens to his footsteps, there's something uncomfortable about the whole situation, about him.
just hearing this man talk makes shivers go down her spine. is this fear? most likely. "it was just some fun," she says. "it wasn't anything terrible. i was just showing him a couple of repressed memories with a bit of psychological fuckery thrown in."

he looks away, as if he wasn't listening. as if his mind is somewhere else (it isn't. if it was, then she wouldn't be in this situation). it's a trick he learned a few years back. people who felt like they were talking to a wall would gradually become desperate. especially as they are slowly stripped of their freedoms. "you will only tell me." stefan pulls on the back of her collar, the cloth straining against the front of her throat. not so threatening that she couldn't speak out of fear, but an overbearing presence nevertheless. a consistent reminder. "--what i want to hear."make her desperate. make her dependent. make her hurt, but make it preferable to being left to the silence. make her desperate for the next question. he doesn't make a sound. somewhere, a mouse gives a light squeak. and then the noise is gone. left to its own devices. like anya is. "why did you choose him?" the connection should be there. it has to be. note: can you believe this guy's dnd alignment is lawful good | |

she hates this man more and more by the second. she hates men, but she thinks this one could take the cake (iggie has a separate cake, a special one. the one she's going to deliver herself by hand to the throne of hell). anya thinks that he's trying to win a game with her, but she knows herself. she won't break because of some man, her pride won't allow it.
but she can't deny his presence. it fills the rooms, is slowly suffocating her, but she forces herself to believe she won't let him win. she won't break, she's not weak, she's not like other people (but are you really different than the rest of the population, dear girl?) she grits her teeth to answer the next question, "because he was there and male."

"why was he there, then?" he poses the question immediately after she finishes speaking. a little too fast. as if he wasn't listening in the first place, even if that is untrue.
"why were the others there? why were the women there?" the victims of the abductions had been a mixed crowd. he will not lose control of their conversation.

she wonders if he's even listening to her. she wonders if this is a set up and she's being tested, she wonders if she's going to go to jail once all this is done. she fears for her well-being because of a man for a moment and she hates herself for it. she forces herself to move on, find something different to think about.
like his question.
but she doesn't have answers. her act was not one of planning, but of coincidence. she doesn't have what he wants to hear, so she doesn't answer. his words—as much as she hates this fact—have engraved themselves into her mind a little, left a mark and she can't think how she wants too because of it. she hates it, but that's not the problem at hand—not the main one at least. she braces herself for whatever comes next, because both her and the Goddess know that something is coming.
her silence won't be well-received.

he gauges her silence. measures it. weighs it carefully against the feather of truth. guilty hearts exist to be eaten. each must stand in their role.
stefan bends over a little lower so that he can touch her cheek gently, the place where the redness is still swelled. his voice is deceptively understanding, a false friend. "you know that you can't be saved." stefan says it like his victim is a terminally ill paitient. she might as well have been.
"why struggle? you can't be saved, but the others can. as long as someone can live, why should it be you?"
"you know the weight of what you have done." and he wants it. he wants it so that he no longer has to waste time with this foolishness.

he is right, she supposes.
she cannot be saved. she has given up on being saved, letting someone save her, but that is only true in relation to someone else. no one will come and save her, she will save herself. she will live to see another day or go down like the goddamn fighter she was raised to be. she will be her own damn hero, no one will take that glory from her.
"what i've done is weightless," she says. she doesn't what he's talking about, who these supposed people are, all she knows is that she is not the one here burdened. her shoulders have no weight to them, nothing weighs her down and she will not act like something is.

wrong answer. stefan's lips draw into a straight line. he had no cause to expect any better of her. it's a pity that the world only seems to confirm his worldview with every passing day.
"the truth is easier."
there is nothing heroic about the way that stefan shoves her chair forward so that the front of her face can make contact with the concrete floor. there is nothing remotely heroic about the sound of impact or the number of days that anya would spend in total darkness and silence while stefan sorts out new intellegence reports.
she may not be his quarry, but nevertheless stefan can only hope that the day she wakes up in the corner of old town does not feel like freedom at all.
ANYA FEDOV /end? do u want her to meet this asshole again lmao | |
