Summary
Neil barely escapes his father's clutches, heavily injured, and he's losing his magic.
Andrew saves him.-----
Neil forgot, sometimes, that magic didn’t inherently mean bad things.
That it could be used for good, too, if only the wielder wanted it to.
(If they didn’t just want to make you hurt and watch you bleed.)

Summary
a tiny snippet for that post-apocalyptic au i'd like to write one day.
After the Outbreak, the infection spread. It turned people into beasts, single-minded killer machines without any shred of humanity left. Their souls were corrupted — if they weren't part of those few born with magic in their blood.
Andrew got turned and Neil was left alone.
This is the aftermath.-----
It is only a recent development, that silence feels like the most deafening sound.
Neil used to find solace in the whisper-quietness, used to feel secure in the knowledge that he’d hear it if someone approached, that he’s learned to blend in with the shadows, after all, that he’d be able to escape.
Silence isn’t safe anymore. Silence means danger, means a prickling scalp, all hairs standing on edge, because your subconsciousness knows that there’s a threat, knows that there’s something inherently wrong, but it can’t pinpoint it, can’t find the source, doesn’t know how to defend against something that shouldn’t be there at all.
