230 Ava's Tear

Sebastian calls again. Not utter anything like Scar, he just simply raises his plate every time Ava does.

Up on the second floor, the man just raises his plate whenever the host calls out the new price, as if the plate is remote, and he is changing the channel just to kill time. Down there, Ava is squirming on her seat as if there are thorns coming out of the cushion. Every time Sebastian raises she would turn and look at him, huffing so hard that her chest is heaving like waves as if it's visible for the man thirty feet away. It's not. Or, the man chooses not to see.

Then Ava would dart her head between the host announcing the end of apparently her life and the man she loved with all her life, fighting for the plate with her father during the little pauses until she bites the bullet and raises again, only to turn more desperate when the man crashes her hope time after time.

Watching the farce, Scar feels like Ava's tears fuels on the darkness in her soul, and right now as it burns, finally a tiny shred of light is dripping into her heart that has been under the dark cloud for a very long time.

If Sebastian is fighting Ava for the ring just so it could be a gift from him, Ava wouldn't be acting so frantically without a hold of herself. Maybe after so long, after she had told him Ava's most vicious lie, the man who loves Ava the most, the white Knight that has protected the most vicious for the better part of his life, is finally starting to come to his senses? Maybe. Maybe not.

It's just not Scar's business anymore.

She couldn't care less if Sebastian still loves Ava. Actually, she hopes that he does, because then a stab into Ava's heart from him would hurt more.

That's Scar's revenge.
