[IC] The Two Sides

[Fionraella]

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Between gasps for breath, Vera caught the sound of Destin's quiet sobs and sighed. As her energy began to dwindle, she winced as the pain from her injury caught up to her where Kianna had hurt her leg. She managed to keep in pace with Fabine but knew she'd better see a healer back at camp.

Fabine slows down, noticing Vera struggling. He glances behind them. Not seeing anyone, he slows to a walk. "Well done Vera. Even not getting Misha back, you proved you're a good leader..." He chooses his words carefully. "Once we get Misha back, I'd be glad to make you my second in command."

Kianna continued to chase after them, her shoulder affecting her pace a decent amount. "Destin! I'm going to get you!" She shouts, following close behind. She saw their shapes farther off as she tried to catch up.

[Fionraella]

Reina had set down a pair of pants when she saw Ptelea's form enter the room. The sobbing girl pulled at Reina's emotions and she pulls her closer. "Oh God, not again! What is with those boys?!" She frowns, holding onto her tightly. Her face was that of deep concern for the young girl. "Ptelea, what happened?"

@wallaberry

Ptelea sobs for several minutes, unable to speak. She hiccups and cries. She slowly calms herself enough to speak. She nods painfully. "They...they hit me with their bats... my arm hurts...again.." She sobs softly, sniffling. "I don't know what I'm doing wrong Reina!" She cries and buries her face further in the other girl's shirt. She sniffles. "I miss Amby, I miss Dem...why can't they be here with me??"

@wallaberry

Fabine curses loudly. He glances back, seeing Kianna. He looks to Vera. "Still your mission." He says firmly, holding tight onto Destin. He waits for further instruction.

"Get him back to camp, she wouldn't dare follow you there," Vera shouted at him. She chose instead to veer off to the side and wait for Kianna, readying her bow and taking aim, muttering her desire for payback.

@jaywing93

Fabine nods "Sorry kid, you're not going back htere. Never going to see that pretty girlfriend of yours." He sneers, quickening his pace again. He glances back. "You better be right about this!" He shouts, hoping Kianna would think he was talking to her. He hears the river up ahead and heads towards the shallower part,knowing he couldn't jump with the kid on his back.

"I hope so too," Vera muttered, and let an arrow fly, aimed at Kianna's leg.

[wallaberry]

Kianna sees Vera and narrows her eyes, veering to the side as she sees her let the arrow fly. She couldn't get hit in the legs again. "Where's Destin?!" She snarls, fully prepared to maul Vera. She continued moving at full speed towards the Brom. She glanced to look for Fabine.

"It's the boys. They get away with everything around here." Reina says, a frown on her face. "Haven't you gone to see Dem? Why can't you stay with him?" She asks, wiping the girls tears and hair out of her face.

Ptelea sighs. "He's in the hospital...It's illegal for me to stay there...as much as I want to.." She looks sad. "Plus those suit guys will come find me again and bring me back. And the adults will hurt me again.." She kicks at the ground sadly. "I just want Rosey."

"Destin is a Brom," Vera spat angrily. "If he wants to leave, he'll have to actually say so to our faces without enemies around to influence him." She raised her bow again and narrowed her eyes. "You should be considering yourself lucky we let that healer of yours go."

Xavier crouches down. "Hey, look at me." He says gently, holding a hand out.

@Fionraella

Leo didn't for a momemt, but inevitably did. He looked at Xavier, glancing at his hand as he turned back into a boy.

[wallaberry]

"Hmm..." Reina looks at her friend's wounds and sighs sadly. "You need to get away from here. You should go find Ambrose." She says softly. "You'd probably do better doing that than waiting around for one of them to hurt you worse than this. Any idea of where he went?" Reina presses her palm on Ptelea's back, trying to comfort her.

Xavier chuckles and gently ruffles his hair. "C'mon kid, you're going to like the people I live with." He gets back to his feet.

@wallaberry

"I don't know where he is!" Ptelea cries, whimpering. "He ran away remember? Three years ago. He left us...' Tears well in her eyes again. "He said back to where Dem is, but further...he wanted to be with people like us..." She covers her mouth quickly, hoping Reina didn't ask any questions. Ambrose had said her shifting was a secret and people would hurt her if she told.

[wallaberry]

Kianna snorts and nears Vera, lunging for the same leg. Her shoulder burned but the adrenaline she was feeling eased it some. It's a surprise he hasn't tried leaving sooner, she thinks to herself.

"Dem should be able to help, if he actually tried." Reina then tilts her head as Ptelea holds her mouth closed. "What do you mean, like you guys?" She looked slightly confused. She rubs Ptelea's back gently.

@wallaberry

Ptelea shakes her head. "Orphans I guess..." She whispers, trying to cover her mistake. She didn't know how much Reina knew about their situation. She could never remember who knew what around her. The adults didn't care. No one but Reina talked to her. ambrose met one friend here, but they got transferred right before he left...

@wallaberry

Vera gritted her teeth and managed to fire off two arrows before diving out of the way and rolling onto the ground. She leaped to her feet and sprinted away from Kianna, trying to gain some distance to fire off a few more arrows.

[wallaberry]

Kianna felt a second arrow hit her, and she snarled once more. She shook off the impact and narrowed her eyes. She's trying to waste my time, she thought to herself, glancing around for Fabine again. Before Vera could hit her again she changes her direction and heads for the river.

Reina nods, "Oh, I guess you have a point." She looks down at Ptelea before speaking again. "You really should leave... you should go talk to Dem and find out a plan. This place isn't for you."

Fabine stops at the river, setting Destin down, keeping a firm grip on his arm. "C'mon kid, don't fight me, you're going to get hurt."
"I'm not going back there!" Destin shouts, hoping someone was coming.
Fabine snorts and shoves him into the river before jumping in after him. He gets his footing and grabs Destin's shirt, pulling him across the river, grumbling about stupid kids.

Ptelea looks down. "I don't want to get in trouble.." She then nods. "Will you help me pack? I should go today..." She whispers, then begins crying again. "Promise you won't forget me??"
