Babylon followed closely behind Adrian's black robes with a serious face, her eyes baring holes into his skull, "Adrian, Ive been becoming extremely violent." she stated flatly.
"Oh have you?" Adrian replied as he looked around absently at the hall and the doors that lined them, some with ominous light and others temptingly open.
In annoyance Babylon moved her way to block his path, her hands on her hips, her stance showing obvious emotion. "Adrian! Im serious! I threatened to experiment on my friends, to kill them even. Im getting far more violent then Ive ever been. Why? Why is this happening?"
Adrian eyed her wearily and sighed pushing past her, "I suppose you must know."
Babylon marched on after him, trying to keep pace with the now fast moving Watcher, "Know? Know what?"
"You've been poisoned." Adrian said dryly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Babylon froze in her tracts as Adrian kept walking, "E-Excuse me?"
Adrian's sigh was once again audible, as he suddenly stopped but did not turn to face her, "I- We have poisoned you Babylon, my sweet."
Babylon's voice cracked, "I-I I dont understand-"
This time Adrian turned to her, her looked deep into her eyes with his golden green ones, his voice was almost hypnotic, not his own, "The prophecies, the Fates. Its all be decided my dear. And the time must come for you to fulfill."
Babylon's face twisted in anger, "Fulfill! FULFILL!" She stepped forward and slammed him into the wall, "You come to me to tell me I am a plaything of the Fates while I threaten those I care for!"
Adrian smiled and laughed "Yes, I am, dear. You are one of the few who will stand alone on this wretched place. You must fulfill what has been made for you."
Babylon shouted, her grip tightening over his arms, "IM THREATENING TO KILL THE ONES I LOVE AND THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME! THAT I MUST! THAT I WILL!"
"Calm yourself child! You are the only capable one! You must, there is no denying it! You must kill them all! All of them. If you love them or hate them. You will wipe them out. That will be your goal. And the poison will never leave you until you and those of chosen are on only ones left standing."
Babylon broke into tears as she shook him "Why! Adrian! Why have you done this to me! ADRIAN! I thought you cared for me! at all, at alL! And You send me to deliver the souls of those I love to Lucifer!"
Adrian frowned now, deep down it really did hurt him to do this to her, he'd grown fond of the Demoness, "Im sorry my dear, I truly am! But you are the City of Ruin! The Fates have long been awaiting for you to finally reach that point, where we would be the last ones. That youd do it without us having to! But we saw far along Babylon, we pushed as far as we could see and the humans were still there. And thats when we knew! You are Babylon, and as much as you can you dont! You were never going to annihilate them!
Babylon stumbled away from him breathing heavily, "You- thats all they want! You're doing this to me! YOU!
Adrian took a step towards her, "Yes! I am, my Sweet City! For once we had to interfere. We had to make sure you were going to do it! And now you have no choice.
Babylon roared, "NO CHOICE! THEN THE FIRST TO DIE IS YOU!" She ripped off her gloves at she tried to grab at him wildly and tears ran down her face.
Adrian easily grabbed her arms and held them tightly away from himself, "I m so sorry my dear, Babylon. I am so sorry."
Babylon wailed and choked on her tears as she sobbed, "How can you let this happen, Why would you!!"
Adrian whispered, "Im so sorry." And he pushed her to her knees and stepped back, "Do us proud my child."
Babylon shook as her watched him go, and blood flowed down her cheek instead of tears.
