Sui Generis Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 [COLOR=indigo][i]Zarian eyed the human....if you could call it that. Zarian looked outside and saw more creatures coming he sighed. This was going to be one hell of a day. He aimed his rifle and picked off a few of the monsters. He cursed seeing others coming where the others had fallen. He aimed and let off another two rounds before turning back towards the man. Brant slowly walked towards the monster as it walked towards the group. One arm hanging limply at his side Brant seemed harmless, he was...almost. He charged at the [b]thing[/b] full steam. Suddenly a bullet whizzed by his head. Then another. Zarian quickly pulled the trigger letting more go. Brant studdered for a second as he saw the beast get pushed back a few feet. Another bullet entered the beasts body splashing blood everywhere. The beast seemed to laugh. Ignoring the pain it pushed against the barrage of bullets and started towards the group again. Zarian smirked as he saw both Brant and the man stunned momentarilly. After letting of a last round he ran up next to Brant and drew his scimitar. He smirked. This was gonna be messy.[/i] "Welcome to Law Enforcement eh?" [i]Zarian smirked and winked at his friend. He gripped his sword hilt and stood firmly. He wasn't going to let his friend die without him dying first.[/i] "One hell of a day...."

Domon Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 [COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1][i]Brant no longer felt the searing pain in his arm, it was instead just dead weight, either the nerves had been severed or something because he should be feeling the pain. He wanted to vomit from seeing that large bloody mass of his arm, at least it was still intact. As soon as Zarian unsheathed his scimitar and things slowed down for Brant, he could feel his legs buckling underneath him, at that moment Zarian charged the man and brought the blade down upon the man, it was practically a sinch in hacking off his arms, which fell with a sickening "sploosh" and then a greenish blood oozed out of it. But as Brant fell his vision became blurred and disorientated, as he was falling Satell caught sight of this and bolted out of the door; hacking and slashing between the dogs, not caring if she got nipped at, these hell spawn dogs would fall dead anyways. Tommi was providing backup fire, for the officer who ran straight out to Brant, she kneeled next to him, slung him over her shoulder and shouted at Zarian, that was the last thing Brant remembered before blacking out. There he was again, on that large beautiful farm with his wife and son, but this time it was in the sitting parlor of the house, she was behind him and Brant was playing with his son, he turned to look at her but she was gone, he then snapped back towards his son, but he was gone too. As he stood up a large clap of thunder sounded and then a lightning bolt went off, which illuminated the backyard and it allowed Brant to see two headstones and then another creature came up behind him and pounced. Brant snapped awake in a cold sweat, it was still daylight and gunfire could be heard every now and then, Brant looked around and saw Zarian sitting next to him with a cold look on his face.[/i] "Hi, we still in hell?" [i]Brant asked with a weak smile, Zarian nodded and Brant fell back into a deep sleep.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]Satell raised her head, Scendelon quivering beneath her legs. She had remounted and was measuring the odds. With a double sidded blade swing she could get rid of about ten more, but that'd leave her flank open... She cursed to herself, then had another thought, either her own or someone elses.[/i] "Aw what the hell?" [i]With a wild screech she bid Scendelon to rear upwards, then he stamped down, destroying several hell hounds in the process, then he vaulted over the heads of the beasts and let his mistress wreck her hell. And she did, blood pouring from the dead, onto her arms, burning but not destroying. She wheeld Scendelon around once more and he did a perfect jump over yet another creature, landed and whipped his hind legs around, knocking it into the ground. She cracked her neck, then moved her blade to a better position and plunged downwards.[/i] "You're flank's open!" [i]She responded to Zarian's shout accordingly, turning Scendelon to compensate, decapitating the next leaping wolf. Then she paused. Everything had gone still once more. And aside from her own heavy breathing, she could hear the voice of another.[/i] ".....it is hopeless....." "There is always hope!" [i]To the others, she was shouting aloud to herself. None could hear the voies but her.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 "Ok... i no longer can stand here and look at that... I dont care how cold i might be... this is just insane... Zash... ready the ship." [i]"Fine... Weapons?"[/i] "Yes... The F-G 53 no 6 if you please. I just need time... I dont need to blow them to pieces..." [i]"I see... 3's to much for ya... Heh ok ok..." Zash's legs seemed to bend backwards and the hair like skin seemed to dissapere. His body folded into the shape of a ship. The sound of grounding metal echoed for a bit. She turned around to see a long ship large enough for a few people to be in. A large cannon sat on top of it.. Sam smiled and climbed into the Piolots spot. "Systems 100% and ready when you are..." The computer said with the same voice zash did. Sam smiled, [/i] "Heh... Thanks Zash... Got those 6 shells in the gun right? Good... Go" [i] The ship then shoot off the small cliff and swiftly gained up on the mansion where the others were. Samantha glared at the figures getting shot at. Zash igzaged right then left then right again.[/i] "FIRE!!!!!" [i] Sam shouts as she hits a red button. The cannon on top quickly charges up and fires a huge red wave of energy at the center of it all. It sent electricity temporarily shocking everything in range. Zash gets close to the ground and Sam jumps out... She located the enforcement officers.[/i] "Dont just sit there get your rear in the ship... While you have the change..."[i] Sam stares at Zarian and brant awaiting a reply.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 [COLOR=red][SIZE=1]Looking at the ship that come down. Tommi quickly searched for satell who got out the way and was now looking back on the situation. Not waiting another moment. She yelled towards Zarian. "Get him on the ship now. And get outta here?" " What are you thinking about," Zarian replied as she attached a metal claw to her hand and quickly reploaded her gun. " JUST GO-" Not giving Zarian or Brant a reply she jumped on one horse and shooed the other out of the mansion. She winked at Zarian as he helped Brant up and started walking him to the door. She stood mounted right behind them and gave them cover fire. Shooting whatever four-legged creature would come their way. Having her claw ready would be used for later but she wanted to assure that Brant and Zarian were safe first. Although the few minutes there felt overwhelming she was relieved to see them both on board wwith the loading dowck closed. But she no longer had anyone to protect her back. And the hell dogs were coming. She quickly got the horse moving and went out to meet Satell. Who was no providing a littlle cover fire to subdue the few in front and also around here. Turning around to see what was behin her she was shocked to see 6 at her heels with plenty mor ecoming. She soon gave herself back fire as she went on. The horse moved swiftly but was still no quick enough to outlast the dogs when one jumped from behind digging its claws into Tommi's leg He didn't let go and Tommi felt the pain running up her leg. Relinquising her gun to one hand. She used her saber claw and cut the dogs leg off letting the remainder of the carcass roll to the gound. But soon it was up again rinning afer her. Finally she met up with Satell and both lady's cleared room for each other. Working as if they were reading each other's mind picking off the other's main threat. Also the ship had there back now, shooting off the fleet of dogs following behind them. As they further and further away from the mansion they persuers tapered off and ran back into the wilderness from which they came. When the last had gone they rode for just a bit longer before they stopped. Tommi still seeing the treasure stuck in her leg took it out and placed it in her bag. "Um, may I ask why exactly you're taking that with you?" Satell asked. " I wanna know what and the hell this thing was, so I needed the evidence." She said trying to ignore the pain in her leg. She ripped a piece of her shirt and placed it on her leg. Satell turned bac to the mansion wondering what voice it was she heard. "We'll get it later don't worry." Tommi said interupting Satell' thoughts. Satell nodded he head but continued to look off. As the ship landed close to them.

Frankie Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 [i]Sam was in the piolots seat again.. Zarian and Brant in the far back leaving the two side seats for the girls when the decided to get on. Sam remained silent... The ship's voice came up again. "Uh... Samantha... The reactor is over heating..." Sam just nodded and typed her respons into the computers keyboard. "Why type..it... Uh.. Ok i understand... But remember if my reactor over heats to a super critical level i might not be able to get you to the outpost..." Sam suddenly shouts...[/i]"OH for crying out loud just calm down...

Raiha Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]Satell was about to leap up and shout that they had forgotten Scendelon, when she remembered who her beast was. The blue roan had put on a burst of speed impossible for the hellhounds and other creatures to match. With such speed, he would easily reach home base with her D.N.A. and spare weapons on his mane. And the search party would quickly pick up the trails here nad there, aided by Scendelon's clues. She sighed and slumped back in her chair. Brant looked at her quizzically, but she brushed him off sadly.[/i] "It's nothing...." "What then?" "I forgot about Scendelon for a few seconds." "He'll be fine. They wer eafter us." "They're hungry." [i]She sighed and looked out the window. Mealoncholy once more.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=red] All four of the work companions were finally on board. As the ship took off heading back to the base. Tommi looked around a it trying to keep her mind off the pain that she was experiencing. Again seeing Brant in his condition she asked him how he was. "Although I'm not in the best of help... I think I'll live." "Well I would hope so, besides I think we have a few more heads to bust soon." He let out a small laugh then sat back in the seat again, relaxing. Everyone remained silent for a while as the began to approach the town again. Although on the outskirts of the Outpost Zarian was able to see many people lined up in the streets and called everyon else attention to it. "Looks like we got a little bit of trouble down there." He started. "I wondered what happened." The ships captain quickly spoke up. "They said a bank robbery occured, and wih that I knew I had to find you." but then left it at that, while a raspy unaudible voice spoke to her again. Tommi rolled her eyes as the ship came in for a landing. [I] And this is just the first day.[/I] [/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 [size=1][color=ff66cc][i]Aries had taken Alexandra to the sea. Looking out to the blue waters, Alexandra let the still, salty breeze hit her face. It smelt just like Earth. Looking out to the sea, a ship was setting sail. Looking to her wild stallion, she sighed. Patting the side, Aries turned and raced back to town. It was time to give Zarian a call. Growing tired and thirsty, Aries slowed down and looked around. They were in town again. It was incredible of how fast the mustang was. Brushing his mane, Alexandra looked around for a quiet cafe. Finding one, she stopped him and jumped off.[/i] "Stay here. I'll get you some water." [i]Alexandra had said to her horse.[/i] [i]The horse just nodded his head.[/i] [i]Walking into the cafe, Alexandra walked up to the counter. Waiting for service, she quietly looked to the menu. When someone came she had spoken to them.[/i] "I was wondering if I could get some water for my horse and a coke for me." [i]Alexandra had asked.[/i] [i]The worker had nodded his head and went grabbed a coke for Alexandra and grabbed a large bowl and walked outside with Alexandra. Putting the bowl down, he turned on the hose and sprayed into the bowl. Smiling at the horse and then turning to Alexandra.[/i] "He looks strong. What's his name?" [i]The worker asked.[/i] "Aries, like the God of War." [i]Came Alexandra's reply.[/i] "I can see why he's named that. Well, there's the water. It's on the house, so is the coke." [i]He had replied.[/i] "Thank you." [i]Alexandra had said politely.[/i] [i]The worker left into the cafe and Alexandra walked to her horse. Lightly brushing his neck, she watched him drink. As he finished, she jumped up onto his back and the two left the cafe. Soon, they were at the hotel. Leading him back to the pen, she thanked the manager and left to her room. Grabbing the key from the clerk, she walked to the elevator. Taking it up to her room, she walked out and walked to her room. Opening it, she entered and took off her gloves. She placed them on the night stand and looked to the phone. She searched her pockets once more and found the letter with Zarian's number. She picked up the phone and dialed his number into it. Not knowing what to say, she let it ring, waiting for him to answer.[/size][/color][/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Sam glanced at the wounded officers, "Let me clue you in a little deeper... While ALL of you ran off playing adventurers a scientist went up missing like he vanished out of thin air... Then someone broke int othe bank and stole no money or jewels.. but they stole the scientists documents AND secret technology that was with it." "How do you know about it if its secret technology" Zarian says suspiciously "HEY word gets around town quick when one man was blown to bits and the survalence cameras didnt pick anything up and the safe was left completely open with reserch papers everwhere... people in town are curious!... Now i suggest you all get back to your snazzy little work... rest up get treatment ... and dont all leave this place at once or worse things could happen..." "Whoa Samantha... calm down girl... If i thought my reactor was overheating.. id be wrong if i comared it to you... Compared to you my reactor is in a frozen state.....simmer down..." "Zash.... step outta line and ill slice your fule lines..." "Im a self restoring ship... id just repair myself." "Not if i pulled your reactor first...And hard drive." "You wouldent dare...." "Oh...really? Willing to stake your micro chips on that?" "Well i uh... No....Shutting down." The ship made a strange noise and then all lights and engines stopped. It landed on the ground and the cannon retracted into the hull. Everyone hauled themselves out of Zash. "Now that everyone is out... Zash... Get back to your Animal Mode... we dont need you taking up space here in town." The ship began to fold and bend and then went back into the Jet black horse with the strange computer like helmet. "Complete..." "Fine... Now im in need for a drink... and supplies. I used all of Zash's F-G56 canisters and the regular ZH Shells..." "For one i dont know what those are so secondly i doubt anyone sells them here..." Brant Mummbled "No one does i assure you. I invented them ... so I make them by hand.I just need the right simple supplies. Anyways... Ill be going now." With that she dissapered into the Tavern.

Domon Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 [COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1][i]Brant still feeling woozy from his wound had to have Zarian and Satell hold him up, he was a little disgusted with all the blood that was on his shirt and had splattered onto his pants. Zarian glanced over at Brant again and noticed that he still had a glazed look in his face.[/i] "He needs medical attention and now!" [i]Zarian said rather bluntly to Satell, she grunted as they entered the LE office, she then took the two to an elevator, she pressed the button and the door slid open, the three then entered the small elevator and she pressed the down button. While this was going on Brant focused his weight onto Zarian, this took Zarian by surprise. As soon as the doors opened Satell took Brant's good arm and the three of them headed down a brightly lit hallway, they came upon the third door on the right and inside was what appeared to be a medical bay and inside was a doctor going through some medical files, she was was in her mid-thirties and had very alert eyes, she looked up from her paperwork and was grinning.[/i] "So, what have we got here?" "He got bitten by some kind of mad animal, it looked like some sort of demon." "Well leave him here and I'll patch him up within the hour okay?" [i]Satell and Zarian nodded and headed out the door, as they did Brant passed out from exhuastion.[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]As soon as the soundproofed doors closed on them, Satell let lose with a wild primal scream. Weather it was frustration, rage, passion, or all of the above, it shook the room and rattled Zarian more than just a little. Satell's fists were dripping blood from both superficial cuts and the nails driving into her palms from the fists she was beating into the wall. Zarian considered calming her down when she turned to face him, stopped short, and fell into his arms rather suddenly. The move caught him by surprise, but he reacted favorably, gathering her up in his arms.[/i] "It's okay...." "No. No....I should've seen it coming." "You can't be omniscient, don't blame yourself." "Brant could die." [i]Her emotions releasing at a breakneck speed, her tears soon soaked through his shirt. Zarian stroked her hair while she sobbed softly, body shaking ever so slightly.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Sam wondered if they had bought it but got lost in thought when her drink arrived. She seemed to make drinks dissapere as fast as she could. She was soon out and into the smallest local store. She glanced at a few things and then hit the right spot. "Hmm... no Flashelights... I guess Zash doesnt need the 58 canisters... or 56 for now... Ill just get what i need to make 50's and 59's" She picked up a few small things like lighters and cigars and a few packs of bubble gum... She was surprissed they even sold that kind of stuff here... With that in mind she grabbed about 7 packs just in case she wouldent be able to return. She also grabbed a few large bags of chips. Once she paid for the stuff she went to where Zash stood behind one of the buildings. She opened the bags of chips and dumped th contents out into a trash bin she had. She stuffed all the stuff including the empty chip bags into a compartmen in Zash's chest. It was a storage compartment. "You didnt get even half the stuff needed... thats like enough for two canisters." Zash said bluntly. "I know... I still need some guns but ill worry about that later. I think its time you get out of sight." She stepped forward and looked at him. "I wont install the UPG till later so dont expect anything new for a while... just be quite and dissapere." With that he walked off... dissapering into the horizon. Sam leaned against the hard creaky wooden boards on the side of the building and sank down to the ground. She let out a sigh. "Why me... Why was i made to repel people like this..." She wrapped herself up in her tan trench coat and rested her forehead on her knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 [COLOR=red][SIZE=1] Tommi satyed out side for a bit as Zarian and Satell helped Brant into the med center. Although her leg hurt like hell, she didn't want to go in there yet. She decided to wait outside and think for a minute but soo let all her toughts go as the pain in her leg got worse. She hobbled inside and to the elevator, going to the place told to her by Satell. The blood from her leg was still oozing out slowly but she was already able to tell it was going to ge infected soon if she didn't get antibiotics. Getiing ready to get off the elevator she heard a scream that sounded like pain. But she didn't want to rush off and impose herself in others business. So stepping off she called out to see if everything was okay. She began to walk down towards the medical bay and saw Satell standing there with Zarian. Tommi knew it was Satell who screamed and she kinda felt for the lady. She paused for only a moment putting her hand on Satell's shoulder. "Thank you!" Tommi started. Satell looked at the female with a weird expression on her face. Not answering she looked away again somewhat ignoring the words that were coming from Tommi. Tommi removed her hand from Satell's shoulder and began to walk away a bit but then turned around. "You risked your life first, for everyone elses including mine, and you don't know shit about me! For that, I thank ya. Accept it or not, you did what you could, and if its Brant you're worr'd 'bout. DONT BE-! He gonna be a-ight." Tommi using didn't use her street slang when around other co-workers but she knew this time was differnt. She had to do her best to make Satell feel better. And turned back toward the medical bay door and went in. Leaving Satell and Zarian to themselves once again. Inside the doors, Tommi could see Brant sitting on the exam table recieving IV fluids and antibiotics. She turned away hopeing the arm could be saved. But only time would be able to tell.

Domon Posted November 17, 2003 Author Share Posted November 17, 2003 [COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1][i]Brant was a little out in left field for the time being, the IVs and anitbodies were doing strange things. Finally after awhile he fell asleep, the doctor noticing this decided she was ready to start surgery on his arm to see if it could be saved, as her nurses moved him onto a gurned and moved him into the Operating portion of the room the doc got into her scrubs and prepped herself for what was coming up next. The operation was a lot more bloody than the doctor had expected, they'd had to cut open most of his arm and then push around shattered bone and torn muscle just to find the wound which they properly repaired, then the doctor went about the task of regenerating the nerves, tendons, ligaments, bones etc. Once finished with that she had to seal up the entire length of Brant's lower arm which seemed to take forever. After she was done with that the doctor then had the young man moved into a recovery room over in the medical wing of the underground installation. As soon as she filled out the report on Brant the doctor walked out of her office and into the small waiting room across the hall to tell Zarian and Satell that Brant had made it through the surgery.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 [COLOR=red][SIZE=1] Tommi was the first in the room after Brant's surgery lookign in on him. Resting there he looked very comfortable and calm. Luckily he would regain use of his arm but from what the doctor said it may take weeks tbefore he was out and about. But who knows. Tommi was just greatful that he was alive. She was next to be seen as the pain in her leg got worse. She quickly wrote a note to him and left it on his beside table. As she walked out of his room Zarian and Satell were walking in. "How is he?" Zarian asked, looking over to Satell who was walking closer to the door. "Well everything you know I know. He's resting right now. But I gotta go and get this sown up." Holding her leg. Which hurt no even more as she stood there. "Let me help you out there, Satell I'm going to walk with her back to the front. I'll be right back." To both Tommi's and Zarian's discomfort they let Satell walk into the room and saw her lean over and kiss Brant on the cheek. "He's lucky he has someone like that," Tommi stated as she began to hop towards the clinic. "What do you mean by that?" Zarian asked looking over at her slightly. "Someone to care for and care for you." She said, trying her best to move, talk and ignore the painin one shot. "Do you have someone like that?" Zarian's facial expression changed for a moment and he became silent. "I don't really know..."[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]They took the news rather well, Satell especially. She had gained control of her torid emotions only moments before he had exited the office to proclaim the news. The both of them were extremely relieved, and Satell left their company immediately to visit him. The doctor and Zarian exchanged a meaningful look. As in ...."What....is...going on here?" After smilings slightly at Tommi's reaction, Satell opened the door quietly and padded in, showing all the good sense and quiet fortitude a life on Mars had taught her. Brant was either heavily drugged or simply asleep. Either way she touched his face with her lips softly, then touched it with the palm of her hand. He was warm, but that was simply his body reacting to shock. He stirred slightly and she knew he was only dreaming. He reached up to touch her hand and she smiled gently.[/i] "Light of lights, keep us from inward darkness. Garnt us so to sleep in peace that we may arise to serve you further." [i]The lines from an old liturgy came back to her and she spoke them with ease. So many memories came flooding back into her mind all at once....almost too many to handle. She smiled and kissed his forehead once more, then sat down in the nearby chair and watied for him to wake.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted November 20, 2003 Author Share Posted November 20, 2003 [COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1][i]The breeze wafted slowly across the beautiful pasture, it caressed his bare arms and tossled his brown hair. The famillar scent of earth and sweat was about him, he stretched his arms, he was home. The sound of hoof falls drew his attention to his son riding their pure black horse, he was rounding up cattle, and yet the boy was only the age of 10, it was amazing at how he was able to move with such ease, he must have gotten that kind of agility from his mother. Speaking of his wife she was knelt over a bed of flowers in front of the house, her hair had fallen over her face and she was barefoot, as she turned to smile at him the sun caught his eye and that was it. Brant snapped his eyes open, why the hell did all of these dreams end as he was about to see his wife!? He screamed inwardly at himself for letting himself awaken, as he looked though to his side he noticed that Satell was sitting nestled in a sitting chair.[/i] "Hi." [i]She snapped her head to face him and he could see the happiness in her eyes and the happy sadness as she wiped away a tear or two.[/i] "Shhh...Don't cry, I'm alive, see." [i]He smiled weakly and she walked over and slumped down onto her knees and she kissed him and he kissed back, just then, it hit him...[/i] "Satell, I love you." [i]She looked a little shook but she nodded and just hugged him at that moment and whispered back the same thing, Brant had a feeling that he would always be in love with Satell.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 [color=royalblue][i]She pressed her hand against his cheek. It was warm and comforting, compared to the cold steel and crisp sheets of the clinical beds. He was awake. She needed nothing more. Her knees didn't even feel the chill of the cold tile floor, nor did they ache from the firm unyielding surface. She laid her head down next to his, grasping his hand with hers, gripping it tightly, as if he would fade away if she didn't hold on. Brant turned and looked into the eternity that was her eyes. He smiled. It would be nice if they were married. To have a wife. Wife. Wife was solace. Comfort. No, chocolate was comfort. Wife was solace. She was his, despite the storms the two had endured. And the liturgy she had spoken so softly over his head. Was for him as much as it was for her. And when she closed her eyes and inhaled, she could smell his warmth, his strength, despite the torn flesh, the IV drip, and the surgery itself....she still was comforted by his nearness. His kindness, the way he spoke to her despite the pain.[/i] "Be here for me then." "I can't exactly leave." ".....you know what I mean." [i]Her eyes half closed and she was transported into another realm. It looked like an old farm. There was Scendelon snorting and stamping against the rain. Sitting on the porch, rocking back and forth by hereslf, all alone. Nobody nearby, but the darkness in the sky speaking for itself. The tears, so many, falling so fast. Eventually, she had spent them, and began to weep blood. Not a torrent, but enough to stain her hands. ......red...crimson...with life tortured.[/i][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 [COLOR=red][SIZE=1] Zarian's answer to Tommi's question didn't get the response she wanted, but the pain in her leg and the moment down the cold hallway, didn't allow that though to enter her mind. All she wanted was to stop the pain and rest. But rest comes not to the weary. And she knew that she was far from getting rest. It wasn;t time for her to rest. She neede to be strong and go on. Not letting the pain of life or her heart get to her. But that task seemed impossible. As she moved down the hall her and Zarian didn't exchange too many words. It seemed at this point in time that words were useless and better left to the mind to process. She soon overlooked Zarian as he helped her down the hall. He seemed patient and caring, but deep within his eyes now, a kind of weariness loomed. What from she had yet a chance to discover. But if she was allowed to, she began to wonder if she really wanted to know. As she kept looking in his face, only glaning down the hall to make sure they made it there, he saw her staring at him. "Um, is something the matter?" He asked looking disturbed by the way she was looking. "I'm sorry about that, I was just looking at your face for a momant, I just like to look at people sometimes. Seeing a face, a kind face allows me to think and at times calm down." There was some truth to her word, but the whole thruth was not yet told. "So you're saying...that I'm cute or something." Tommi laughed at the comment, as they reached the door. " In so many words, yeah.." she said having a small giggle between the words"...but I'm als happy to know that a kind person like you is around to help." Zarian looked down for a moment as she opened the door and stepped into the holding room. " I think I can handle it from here...Go check on Brant, I think he'd like to see you as well..." She stepped into the room but the slowly turned around to Zarian once more. "If you like when I get out of here, we can go hang at the bar, you know have a few laughs and get to know each other, besides, it seems we'll be working together here for a while." " Yeah, sure," he replied and then turned around, slowly going back toward Brant's room.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 [COLOR=firebrick][SIZE=1][i]Brant looked over at Satell, he knew he was in love with her and he couldn't deny it, he just knew it. He watched as her crying subsided, he tried to sit up but the drugs made him too woozy and he soon was laying back down, this movement alerted Satell.[/i] "You shouldn't move Brant, you just got out of extensive surgery." [i]Brant looked at her a little puzzled and then he looked at his arm.[/i] "They...They repaired my arm?! Dear god! This is great!! I actually can use this arm again!" [i]He was about to raise his arm triumphantly and then realized that he shouldn't move his arm, he then quickly looked back over at Satell.[/i] "Are you hurt at all Satell?" [i]She wiped away the tears and looked at him with a grin.[/i] "If I were I don't feel the pain, just the happiness of seeing you alive." [i]Brant nodded and then leaned back into his pillow and sighed, his eyelids growing heavy again.[/i] "I think I need another nap, if that's okay, I'm gonna head off into dream...land..." [i]As soon as he finished the sentence he passed out and dozed off into another dream and Satell sighed and curled up in the chair and she too fell asleep.[/i][/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 [COLOR=royalblue][i]The crick in her neck woke her up. Either that or the heavy breathing of Brant's drug induced sleep. She flicked her eyes open but didn't move her body. Long experience had taught her that much. There was another voice in the room, hostile, or he would've spoken all ready. A he. Yes, a he. Dangerous, because she could barely sense his movement. She silently grasped the blade of her knife and whipped it up behind her in one swift movement. A male human of the same cult fell to the ground, clutching his ruined throat. She wiped her blade on his pants scornfully and stepped over his body. Brant was still asleep, she had moved too fast, cut off his larynx, no time for breathing. She opened the office door and picked up the phone. But it was dead. Of course. They cut the line. She flicked her earing and the radio buzzed to life.[/i] "CC this is Officer Megelani." "This is Central Courier. Go ahead Megelani." "Cult memeber attempted assassination, the doctor's floor, room 26. Send the coroner. Again." "Roger. I'll alert the boss." "Thanks CC." [i]She flicked it again and sheathed her blade.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 [COLOR=indigo][i]Zarian turned around and walked back towards Brant's room. He paused half way there and turned back around. Zarian smirked Brant and Satell could use some time by themselves. He sighed and turned back and walked out of the hospital. Walked out into the blankness of the night and the wallowing mouth of self-pity. He sighed again and shook his head. He smelled the air then shrugged, conceding victory. So far Mars had taken him. Consumed him and molded him into what he is now. Zarian walked out away from the city for a bit letting his thoughts envelop him. He never truly saw anything as he passed finally he found himself laying down in a mound of grass next to a patch of trees. It looked aroudn and noted he was on top of a hilll. He nodded and smiled. Silently he pulled out his note pad and pen. He smiled as a tiny light came off from the paper. It was a present Alexandra had given him some time ago. It wasn't by no means an expensive present, nor that important at the time. Zarian was young when he got it, he really didn't understand the importance of such a gift. He had over the years. He loved the gift, it allowed him to write whenever. It allowed him to express his feelings whenever, and it had shown that Alexandra believed that he could do it. He smiled and entered his own world, seemingly blank of emotion his pen began sliding over the paper smoothly as Zarian allowed his emotions to flow through his hand. He continued on for many hours writing about everything, even Satell and Brant. He smiled as his pen finally slowed to a hault. He felt refreshed and took a deep breath in. It was a nice night out. He shrugged and looked around. Zarian slowly closed his book and walked over to the trees slowly. He slipped in between some of the trees and laid down. After what seemed like seconds Zarian went back off into his world again letting his emotions now guide his very being. Zarian smiled as sleep over came him.[/i][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelation Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 [size=1][color=ff66cc][i]Alexandra waited for what seemed like hours, but soon hung up. She would try again. Looking at the note she was given back to, she remembered that if she allowed herself to be caged up and bottled up, then she would surely give in and have defeat, but if she fought back, she would surely become the graceful, flowing person she was. Sitting on her bed, she needed time to think. Standing up, Alexandra walked to the door and stepped outside and walked to the elevator. She placed the key on top of the counter and walked to the stables. Smiling, she mounted Aries and left. He knew of the most calmest areas and she let him ride through the breeze and traffic. Not knowing where to go.[/i] 'Let us hope to the Gods that I am capable of becoming the person I was. As well as that Zarian would still be my friend.' [i]Alexandra had thought to herself.[/i] 'He was the confidant I needed. The hand to help me up from what I am right now.'[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
