Evermore [7/?]
He had jumped so hard, in fact, that the three of them had come to a dead stop, both of the other two staring at Avery. Rylan's eyes were wide, and while his back was to Ion, he could just imagine the amused expression on the stolen body's face. Avery's own heart was pounding in his chest, his thoughts racing as he himself tried to figure out why he'd just reacted that strongly--and if the look on Rylan's face was anything to go by, she was as bewildered by his reaction as he was. "Sorry," he muttered. "Just--just don't do that."
And then he turned away from her and started walking again, faster than before. God damn did he want to be out of these woods.
The rest of the hike back, thankfully, passed uneventfully. None of them spoke again, which was frankly stunning considering who his companions were, but perhaps there was something to the notion that they might be as thrown by this whole thing as he was. It was a long shot, of course (he'd only ever seen Ion off his game once, and this situation was certainly nothing in magnitude when compared to that one), but an alternate explanation didn't come immediately to mind, so Avery decided to settle for it. It wasn't as if they were simply respecting his own discomfort, after all. Ion and respect didn't exactly go hand-in-hand, a fact to which Rylan herself could attest.
But the spell of silence broke once they were back in the parking lot, and while Avery was endlessly relieved to be free of the eerie, oppressive nature of the Pine Barrens, his spirits weren't exactly lifted when his eyes fell upon his truck and he realized what exactly was going to happen now.
There was a reason that in the few cases when the three of them--himself, Rylan, and Myles--four if Susanne tagged along--were working together, they took Myles' car instead of Avery's truck. Avery's truck was not a vehicle built for three adults, and things were about to get very awkward, very fast.
Everything about this was a nightmare.
If either of the others had noticed the inevitable problem yet, they gave no sign (and since he didn't think Ion would've been able to resist taunting him about it the moment he noticed it, Ion must not have noticed it yet). Instead, Rylan simply started toward his truck without even waiting for him to point it out; but of course she didn't, he realized with a dull shock. Why would she? She'd ridden in that truck so many times in the past, buckled in beside him and teasing him for his musical choices and his utter lack of style and his gruff attitude and--
The problem was, he realized, that even after all this time, he still couldn't seem to reconcile this thing at his side with Rylan. It was her, and he had all the evidence in the world to prove it to himself. He never would've let it live if he hadn't, after all. But even with the undeniable proof that this demon wearing Rylan's body was Rylan herself, albeit corrupted almost beyond recognition, he still couldn't seem to wrap his mind around the idea that it was her. His brain kept telling him that it was someone else, as if Rylan had been replaced by an identical twin who was no less a stranger to him than anyone else in the world. Like the body was familiar to him while the mind and the soul were not--even though they were--and so he simply couldn't recognize her unless he actually thought about it.
It was fucking maddening, and there was a part of him that was actually inclined to blame it on Jaslyn. His brain kept telling him that Rylan wasn't Rylan because Jaslyn hadn't been Jaslyn, and perhaps that was a trauma he was never truly going to get over.
Dwelling in thoughts he didn't want to be having at all, Avery unlocked the truck, and though she was already ahead of him and standing at the door, Rylan hesitated. "Um..."
