Rastus got home late, again. It was a Thursday and he had just done a mission. Gabe was out. Of course perfect Gabe could do whatever he wanted. He didn't have to go out and kill people or steal priceless heirlooms all the time. Or put up with Elly. Yeah, that was the worst of them all.
He was trying to sneak back to his room. He knew his mom didn't approve of his activities and that she didn't want to see him end up like his "no good" father. Well, his dear old dad must be a fucker, if mom hated him.
"JUST WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING YOUNG MAN?" He heard her yell. He cringed and turned around.
"Hi Ma." He said.

"Don't you 'Hi Ma' me! Where were you Rastus Abner Aquatine? Where you on another mission?!" Donna yelled at her son. "Where the hell have you been?!"
She looked at her son, but could only see his father staring back at her. Proud, determined, arragont. Handsome even. But still corrupted. What happened to her sweet little boy? The one who would play with his brother?

"I was in Kyyra." He muttered. She asked him to speak up.
"I said I was in Kyyra! I was escorting Elly home!" He said.
That wasn't exactly a lie. Even though Elly wasn't supposed to go on missions, she was a Crescent and he took her along on some of his low-risk missions. She was stealthy and good at the job, so he liked her help. And the reason he was so late was because he insisted on making sure she got home safe. You just couldn't tell anymore if there were Rassi soliders on the loose or drunken idiots.

"Right! At midnight? I'm sure that her dad loved that!" Donna yelled. "You were on a mission! Don't lie to me! And don't drag your friends into this! You know she doesn't do missions!"
She sighed.
"Rastus, tell me the truth. Why were you out at midnight in Kyyra. You didn't go out with friends, since Gabe and Lily are hanging out with Aeron in Kyyra. I know Elly didn't go, but she's probably with May." Donna said. "Please Rastus, don't lie to me."

"You want the truth? I was on a mission. With Elly. She tagged along. We killed a man Mom. We killed him and stole his priceless sword collection. " Rastus said, looking his mom straight in the eye, definatly. "And you know what? I don't care. I don't fucking care Ma."

Donna gazed at her son in a new light. Here he was, standing in front of her. 18 years old. Already a killer.
"Get out." She said, softly. He didn't move. "Didn't you hear me, boy?! I said get out! I don't want to see your face right now!"

"Is that what you want Ma?" He asked. "Or is this what you wanted 19 years ago? When Dad left you and you never got the chance to kick him out. You know what Ma!? Fine! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"
Rastus left. At the door he stopped. He turned to look back at his mother.
"Don't feel too badly Ma. I'm sure this day would have come soon enough anyway." He said.
