Valerian's anger (2)
'What do you mean, she is lying?' Talia asked Liseli.
'I can only tell if her statement was a lie or truth,' Liseli responded. 'For anything more than that, we need to look into her mind. What do you say?'
Liseli was eager to find out Sophia's secrets and make her an imbecile in the process.
'No.' Talia refused. 'I'm sure my father will handle this.'
Talia didn't want to know the contents of Sophia's mind. Sophia was ugly on the inside, and Talia was still scarred by the monstrosities that stemmed from Tristan's, Luis', and Stephanie's memories. Looking into the minds of other people came with a price, and Talia couldn't disassociate herself from those gruesome scenes that were etched into her mind like she was there, like she was the one doing it. Beatings, blood, crying, backstabbing…
'Kitten?' Damon called through their mind link. He picked up Talia's unstable emotions.
