"Go... change those clothes or whatever....." mumbled Hikaru "Do some of your healing magic first though will you?... I'll invite you some pizza in exchange.." said to Joe. She tried to stand up which although was able to it was extremely painful, on that she noticed the sniper rifle right at her side and mumbled to herself... "Holy fuck..."
David approached Hikaru is face still smeared in blood as he skipped up to her and Joe. His innocent eyes looked back and forth between Hikaru and Joe, before finally settling on Hikaru and the weapon she carried in her hand. "David killer her now!" Junior demanded. "Crush her entrails and -" The blade was cut off by David's own mental voice Wait.... Wait..... He gotz shot + Hikaru has a gun + she looks nervous....huh? "You can't be fucking serious!? Kill this bitch and drink her blood bwahahahahah....it would be so villainous!" David ignored as he continued to stare his mind racing. He gotz shot + Hikaru has a gun + she looks nervous.....= PIZZA "Are you serious about that pizza?" David asked "............"
Mikkish shook his head at Jinx' outburst as he began walking with Will. "Yeah. Bitch is just mad cause I won't help her contact this ghost who is after my..." Mikkish stopped. It was a bad idea to tell anyone else about the book. Especially since Joe, Jinx, and Rue were adamant about getting it. "Well long story short, she is blaming me for the killer being on this island. Kinda why I'm looking for the killer." Mikkish continued walking near Will. The guy was crippled. If this guy couldn't defend himself and the killer got him, then Mikkish would be a suspect for being nearby when he was murdered "Can't say I have any cop friends. Hell, the more I get involved with this, the more the laws gonna be on my ass." Mikkish said, thinking back to the night before and still not recognizing Will at all "By the way, who are you? And why are you going after the killer?" But before Will had a chance to answer, the buildings security grabbed Mikkish shoulder from behind. "Why are you in here?" Said the big man in the security uniform "You're not supposed to use that entrance." Obviously, this guard either didn't hear the shot or didn't think the killer was nearby. But he did notice that several other guards were heading upstairs quickly, as if going after some wanted person. "You two leave. NOW." He barked, before leaving them there and then, heading up with the other guards to the floor Hikaru had broke the first window.
Verum I crossed my arms looking at Hikaru. "...I'm not one to be bribed to aid someone that tried to kill innocent people, you tried to kill me, and David, and god knows who else. Last night you killed those officers when there was no need! You're also trying to skew the truth for whatever reason, I don't know why... you may have killed people, however you weren't the one to kill those mages, to continue such a lie will put you in jail and let the murderer continue to run free." I said. Hikaru sighed... "Uuum.... are you hitting on me or something like that?... Because that's a no inmediatly. Honestly, I don't get why guys are so attracted to girls who murder people" I gave her a cold glare. "Sorry, not my type." I said briskly. "...Hikaru, I don't care what you say, you aren't the murderer!" I said, when the words left my mouth a blue barrier materialized around us, the words 'You aren't the murderer!' kept repeating and intersected like chains, flowing across the barrier. I looked around bewildered. "W-What the...?!" I asked. Hikaru would feel the pain drain away and her energy come back to her, her wounds had disappeared altogether. "Hey that works..." said the girl while quickly raising her body. "That's some nice healing magic you have there.... thanks, now you'll have to excuse me but I have to...." "RUN AWAY!!!" exclaimed while twisting her body and sprinting as hard as she could only to be stopped by the blue barrier. "This?.... hey, this is not fair..." said the girl. I see... is this some sealing magic?... what's all this about? wondered the girl. "What's this?.... what do you expect..... also you say I'm not the murderer..... I claim the opposite, the murderer is obviously me!" as soon as she produced those words what seemed to be her sniper rifle materialized in mid air. "The fuck?..." mumbled the girl. How does this place works like?... I need to get out... said while extending her arms to the rifle and aiming at Joe. "Thanks for the healing, but if you don't let me go free I'll pierce your skull, besides.... how can you say I'm not the murderer?... I was at the crime scene!" these words also were a trigger, a truth that was undeniable even if the others didn't knew it, and thus they materialized as a bullet fired by the weapon coloured in red about to pierce Joe. The bullet stopped just a centimeter from my forehead. I took a deep breath... this was strange... she just talked and that bullet just flew right out of her sniper... that appeared from nowhere... then it stopped... maybe... this was my chance at a rebuttal. "If that's the case then myself, Mikkish, Leon, and David are all automatically part of the murders, we discovered the bodies after all. In fact I tried to save the second victim with the help of a boy, one or both of us could have really been making sure that the job was being done correctly and she wouldn't have the chance to live. One or all of us could have just been using our 'discovery' of the bodies to make us seem innocent. Just because you were present at the crime scene doesn't automatically mean that you're the murderer!" I said. "But... why was I not with any of you?... more likely why is that I have a knife covered in blood from that event Joe?" exclaimed the girl as soon as the bloody knife reproduced in mid air and traveled against Joe's throat. The bullet shattered after the words left my mouth, a bow appeared in my hand, my hands moved on their own. I pulled on the bowstring, a silver arrow appeared and flew through the air, digging into Hikaru's stomach. I looked up at the bloody knife as it flew toward my throat, stopping just centimeters away, but I knew that it still was just holding its force back, ready to fling itself into my throat and end me. "The reason you have a knife covered in blood is because... you either injured yourself or... you did stab the victim with the knife, he was a mess... however... it's highly possible that you stabbed the victim after he was already dead if you're absolutely sure that the blood on this blade belongs to the first victim!" I said. Shit.... that hurts... The arrow pierced her deeply and no matter how much strenght she used she was unnable to pull it out. I'll just enchant this shit and burn it... thought yet it was useless, her magic was not working... "Now what you're offering proves nothing... is just as vague as what I said! Can you really prove this was not the murder weapon?!!!" exclaimed the girl as a response the knife advanced more threatening. "No, I cannot." I said, I shut my eyes tightly and waited for death... but it didn't come... a horrible pain ripped through my throat, the knife was shoved deep through my windpipe... yet I could still breathe perfectly fine, I opened my eyes. "...I'm alive...?" I asked, my voice came out as clear as ever. "He is alive?..." mumbled the girl. First the retarded and now him??? The girl sighed, this time her own bow-glove formed around her arm and she aimed it at Joe. "Then I'll just have to try it again, dispell this barrier or I'll just make you suffer until you die or give up. After all.... your detective game is over, I did stabbed that guy and burned that girl to death, you can't prove it otherwise" with those words the bow fired its arrow this time against Joe's forehead. I think I get it..... the words make weapons work in this place... The arrow stopped just before it reached my forehead. "...You're right, I can't prove that you aren't the murderer. But I can show you why you can't be!" I said, I pulled the drawstring back... instead one arrow... several appeared along the bowstring. "First, the murderer is very religious, however you don't have as much as a crucifix on you, a woman of such faith would have religious artifacts on their person and would make it a point to show off these treasures and to make their views known. Second, the killer went to great lengths as to not be caught, they wouldn't openly declare that they are the murderers in the middle of the street where everyone can hear them. Third, the killer hates mages, this is evident by the messages that they left at each crime scene, however you haven't shown any sort of prejudice against other mages, and you yourself are a mage, making it unlikely that you'd target your own kind for such hatred. Fourth, the killer knew about Jinx's abilities and inscribed a rune upon the second victim's stomach, a Somalian rune that erases ones memories, one strong enough to make their very soul forget, you haven't been with us for the past few days, meaning you didn't know that Jinx was a medium or even hanging around us, thus that Somalian rune is a contradiction to the facts, if you are the murderer, which you are not. Fifth, the murderer must know pyromancy or pyrokenesis in order to have pulled off the second murder, or an ignition device, however you haven't shown any affiliation with fire magic and no such ignition device was found. Sixth, the murderer must know illusion magic, it is the only way to explain how they were able to hide the victims in plain sight without someone coming across the scene before the murderer could make their escape, which again, you haven't shown any affiliation to. Seventh, if the murderer did act without the use of those types of magic, then they must have had an accomplice or some sort of magical device or potion which allowed them to have committed the crime, you haven't shown any sort of device or potion, nor has any accomplice come to aid you!" I said, seven arrows were nocked, I released my grip from the bow string and all at once they flew directly at Hikaru. Hikaru saw the rain of arrows about to pierce her in slow motion, slow enough for her to have time to shoot her own arrows. "You wanna fight like that right?..." stated before aiming "First, you should know the mage of talisman is based on different religions, as thus I'm versed in several religions so I can work different effects, I do have some talisman shaped as crucifix also. In other words..." She tensed the string. "The murderer doesn't necessarily need to be a religious person, is enough for it to have knowledge about christianity to disguise its crimes!" She released the grip and her arrow impacted the first one destroying it. "Second! If the killer was so focused on hiding its crime how is that the murders were commited in such fashion it was evident to anyone? It was obvious that I wanted to be known!" exclaimed yet her arrow failed at piercing the second one which pierced her body... Shiiit... that didn't made sense at all.. Still she raised the bow again and aimed... "Third one ... the messages... can mean anything else, not necessarily a grudge against mages. They may not even have a meaning and be just a way to impress people, or perhaps using the idea of hating mages as just a disguise. I must add, that's the kind of ideas I would come with" The third arrow flied destroying Joe's arrow. "Fourth..... I can use runes, they're used in the celtic talisman, the scripture that embodies the praise of the gods themselves" This one she couldn't destroy and pierced her also Right... who the fuck is Jinx? "Fifth, fire is embodied within the rune of kenaz as much as the chinese's trigram, there are several symbols that can make fire ignite, let me add the sixth here as also the right talisman or charm can create a disguise or distract people.. your argumenst proves nothing!" The fifth one was easily destroyed followed by the sixth in a succession. Seventh one pierced her chest perfectly... Why did I doubt... this was the most easy to counter... Hikaru fell over her knees, three arrows had impacted her... however four were countered and now threatening Joe I smiled at he sadly, I didn't want her to be in such pain, I had to end it. "It was a good run... but I know that the killer is Christian or Catholic without a single doubt in my mind, these murders... they were definitely fueled by religious beliefs, and this is the proof." I said, a charred silver crucifix appeared in the air... I wasn't sure before... but now I was. "This crucifix belonged to the murderer, the victim managed to get it off of him in the end when he was chaining her to the tree, as far as I could tell, it wasn't a talisman of any kind, if it were used as the ignition device then it would have been hanging off of a branch or it would have been making some kind of contact with the tree, however I found this on the ground under ashes a good few feet away from the tree. This was something that the killer carried with them, not as something that was intended for use in the murders, but as a sign of their faith." I said, the crucifix launched at her forehead at high speeds. I couldn't back down, I needed to end this. I drew my bow and two silver arrows appeared as I pulled back. "Next, there was no real reason to use Christianity or Catholicism to the crime, or any hatred to mages. It didn't add any real flair to the crime, I mean almost everyone here is a mage, you could throw a stone high into the air and the likelihood that it would hit a mage is very high, if that was the murderer's real intent then they wouldn't have hidden the first victim in an alley where just a few walking by would notice. They would have done it somewhere much more public where everyone would have seen it in and would have killed the victim a much more spectacular way. Finally, Hikaru, would you really go for something as cryptic and as mundane as a biblical verse that would go right over most people's heads just to fit one particular aspect of the first crime? You could have written something with a lot more impact that would have freaked out people a lot more, yet, since you are not a woman of the Christian or Catholic faith, you, for some reason, chose biblical verses, it doesn't make any sense!" I said, I released the two arrows and they flew directly at her. Headshot!! That was the crucifix that impacted her forehead finding herself unnable to refute the argument. She stood up with difficulty as two arrows were fired against her... "C'mon... there must be an answer.... So does this mean I didn't kill them?...How can this be?...I was at the crime scenes in both situations, I had the right weapon, I had the methods... Then why am I not the killer then?" Exclaimed, yet her ranting wasn't enough to face the arrows. In front of her there were not two arrows, instead they appeared as endless, each one a different counteragument against anything she could say, and thus under the rain of arrows the girl fell. Yet it wasn't only because she couldn't refute Joe's arguments.. It was also because a very important element was missing... If I'm the killer,... then why I don't remember having commited any crime? The battle concluded and Hikaru lied in the ground pierced by the arrows... Not real arrows, instead weapons that represented all the evidence that proved she wasn't the murderer. The barrier around us shattered, the weapons disappeared, the wounds we had sustained during the battle disappeared. Though the pain didn't end for Hikaru, the wound she had sustained before the battle reappeared, just as painful as before. Though there was something different... she felt utterly exhausted, as though she had just ran a marathon. The words 'You are not the murderer!' still hung in the air above us, except they were in gold now and then they slowly disintegrated raining gold dust upon us. I was bursting with energy, I felt I could run the parameter of the island five times and still have energy, even my soreness from the wound I had sustained last night had disappeared altogether. I looked down at Hikaru. "You fought well, but there was only a single truth in the end. You still have a lot to answer for however. I hope you try to seek atonement for your crimes." I said. "Crimes?..." mumbled the girl... "There are no crimes...." continued, she stood up. "I was at the crime scenes... right... I had the weapon... but don't remember what really happened there...." "Yesterday when I claimed I killed several people on the way... that was a lie..... The arrow I shot to the cop?.... I missed vital spots on purpose.... The bus that I made explode?.... the retard threw it, the fuel tank was already broken and if I would had left the fuel leak to reach the fire the explosion would had been close to where I was, hence I shoot it before that, to make it explode at a fair distance...." Stated while heavily breathing... "But is true that I had the feeling to kill.... I've just been avoiding it.... I almost killed Joe, and I was damn sure I killed captain chocolate...." Her body collapsed again... Shit... I'm tired... "Don't you get it?... I have a urge to kill someone... I can barely contain it, even now a part of me wishes to kill you, and I'm sure that if my body weren't to heavy I would inmediatly attack you...." said while she strongly grabbed her left arm. "How about if you heal me?.... Remember what I said? I'll invite you to a pizza" Sure.... as if anyone would heal someone who had just threatened to kill you. I knew I shouldn't trust her... but I just did. I couldn't stand to see someone in such a horrible condition. "...I won't do it for pizza, this is a second chance. You've done some bad things, however you didn't intentionally kill someone I won't tell the police what happened, but you must control your murderous impulses." I said, I knelt down and pink ribbons shot out of my hands, they began to wrap around her body and sink into her skin, the pain ebbing from her slowly as her wounds began to seal up. It took a while but Hikaru's body recovered, although not completely it was enough for the girl to be able to move. "Thanks for that one." replied the girl vociferating an emoticon. She took her rifle and mumbled. "Better make this thing invisible.... I don't want to be interrogated..." yet as soon as she tried to enchant it, she found herself unnable to do it... "Can't use magic, is this a secondary effect of your magic?..." asked the girl, yet the sound of cops gave her no time to think, she opened a trash deposit that was close and threw the weapon on it. "I think it would be a good idea to left the place for now.." "To be honest, I have no clue what this magic is or what it does... but... it is beginning to give me a few ideas with that battle and what happened at the crime scene... I'll have to test it out later though, you go on ahead... I think this is the building that the original sniper was in." I said.
Clashing Business “I expected something fancier.” A voice said from behind Eric as the accountant stopped his typing. The man sat on the now opened window seal, dark eyes going over the office before him. "Honestly. I didn't even have to scale high to get up here." He sighed as he slid off his make shift and smoothly shut the window. "One computer, a couple filing cabinets and one desk." His eyes shifted over to Eric who seemed who watched with narrowed eyes as the stranger moved about his office. "This." The man said. "Is unacceptable for someone with an interesting job like you've got, you know that?" The man stopped his typing and directed to the strange looking man. "There is a chair there, take a seat, the window is dangerous and although there is a low probability of a person falling down and taking serious damage I would not like to take the risk, there are a fair amount of people looking for a chance to make a demand" said the man with a boring monotone tone. "Really?" The man asked as he sat down in the appointed seat across from Eric. "But think of it if someone fell out the window they likely wouldn't die and instead suffer various broken bones and be in a lot of pain. "A lot of pain is so much better then death don't you think so?" He asked a smirk appearing on his lips. "No....you probably don't. A man like yourself probably prefers death as its what pays the bill. Then again for a man who lives off death, I expected more." "A man who lives off death? That's a strange thing to say to an accountant" replied the man who crossed both hands while speaking to the man. "Shall we go into business then? I suppose you need someone to check your accounts and calc the amount of money you have right?, do you plan to start a business by any chance? or is that you want to buy a new house? or perhaps something related to a bank account. Those are the most common topics here" asked Eric. The man leaned back in his seat. "Come now." He said. "I came in through the window. I have no interest in the boring aspects of your life." His smile never faded as he spoke in an oddly sincere tone. "Besides I'm already involved in several business ventures as a hobby." He laid his hands flat on Eric's death. "I need to hire you for a fun little project." "And since when the idea of entering through a window excludes the idea of hiring an accountant?" said the man who stood quiet on the chair. He took a paper and a pen and asked the man "Also, what kind of fun project requires an accountant on it?" "Well first let me introduce myself." He said. "You may call me Mr. Fisher." Fisher gave a happy nod. "I'll give you the code name....um....hm what's a good code name for you?" He asked. "We need it to be something creative, cause this job is gonna require some creativity." ""Cire works fine" replied the man. Fisher clapped his hands. "Cire? Nope doesn't work." He replied. "My codename is Fisher soooo lets call you bait." Fisher leaned back in his seat. "Cute isn't it? Fisher and Bait." The man's stern look didn't change during all the course of the conversation. "I see, so bait, is this somehow related with the job you want me to do?" "No not really." Fisher replied. "But a humiliating name like Bait is fitting for a man of your profession, at least when I hire you anyway." Fisher hummed. "Anyway how good are you at spying on people?" Without moving the man's glance met Fisher's glance. "I suppose you arrived here already having a bit of knowledge about my work. As any job it has it's risks but I can do that. Being this Gotha I also suppose you're either a magic practicioner or you know about it, I have some magic helping me to not be tracked or located, although is against my principles to reveal my tricks, if you need to know I can tell you, it will cost you though" stated the man. "And speaking of the cost, depending on the target it may change" Added. "Don't worry about your targets." Fisher nodded. "What I need you to do is nothing terribly complex, I just need cameras planted in specific locations and need you to update me on their movements." "832 dollars, for each camera" replied the man "Aw man." Fisher muttered. "That's not a lot of money but I really don't like giving money to people like you." Despite the complaining he reached into his pocket and produced a credit card. "You can use whatever is on this." He said sliding it over to Eric. "If it ends up not being enough I'll pay you in fall after." The man took the card and examinated it. "My policy is to take half of the money before the job and the rest after it had been finished, also I may add any extra cost to it. As planting cameras is not a difficult task is a cheap job, however I must say that the individual cost of each camera will be also added." said the man then he asked. "How many cameras are we talking about and what place in particular? Give me the details of the job" "Nothing terribly complex I can assure you." Fisher relayed to him the job. --- "Oh, Ace Stardust?, I was already asked to do that job, there are camera already, do you want to pay for the recordings?" asked the man. Fisher showed a smile and was about to say something yet the man interrupted him. "That was a lie" said with the same monotone tone and stern eyes. "So you are adding also the condition to do something violent to them under your commands? that will heavily increase the cost, moreover if the characters are mages" "You bastard." Fisher said leaning forward. "What have you done with my dear friend Bait, he doesn't make jokes for as long as I've known him he just sits there looking like a corpse." He let a small laugh before settling down. "Seriously though. If I need you to perform a violent act then I'll double or triple your pay at the time it happens but for now just the cameras and observing is fine. Besides Ace is the only threat. The others are easy kills to be honest." Fisher let out a long sigh. "I could do it myself but violence is pretty boring 90 percent of the time and killing is such a waste." His eyes locked with Eric's. "I have two final requests." "Two more requests will increase the cost even more..." stated the man who also thought that violence was boring and a waste of time. "Of course." Fisher said. "I'm sure you've heard of the religious murders lately. If one of your targets or you yourself encounter this man please to do not engage him in any form, simply watch and relay back it back to me." He said. "The killer is soon going to be gone anyway. He's very stupid." Fisher's shoulder relaxed and his devil like smirk was replaced with a sincere smile as he took a deep breath. "Finally." He said. "If I screw you in some fashion. Like cause problems for you or don't pay you after all this or cause you serious injury in some form. These are all possibilities, I expect you to reply in some fashion if I do any of these things." He stood up still smiling. "Given your talent and skill level, I'm positive a physical confrontation between us would likely go in your favor, but I don't care about that." Fisher walked passed the man's desk and leaned himself against the window he'd come in. "If any of the possibilities occur and we become enemies. I of course have no intention to die but if you ever must kill me. You have to do it in an unique and creative way." As if this was common Fisher relayed the rules to the accountant in a bored tone. "You can't shoot me in the head and no stabbings. It has to be something interesting....like a spectacle if I'm going to leave this world. I'll even pay you while your trying to kill me if I can get a cool way to die." "one million three hundreds twenty five dollars plus material's costs and any extra cost" that's all Eric said after hearing the man. Surprisingly Fisher responded without a second thought. "You got it." He opened up the window. "Can't put a price on entertainment." "Are you inmediatly leaving? You're not a smart one" replied the man with a boring tone. "I'll need any number or way to contact you, just in case" said opening an agenda. Fisher pointed to the chair he'd been sitting there sat a small card which had a number written on it in dark ink. "Yo." He said as he began to make his way out. "I'll be in contact" finished the man while returning to his typing.
I had watched in a shock of surprise to see David get shot outside. Yet he didn't die. That would be a good moment to keep in mind later on. Avoid being involved in fights against the nut with the sword. Seeing Joe suddenly rush off around the building out of cover made me sigh heavily. "Everybody go into cover!....So I can just ditch you all and run off by myself like a huge moron." I say mumbling in a mimicking voice. I glance outside once more. "I'm an idiot....I'm an idiot aren't I?" I says to myself before stepping outside and rushing off in the direction Joe had went only to see him in some crazy magic battle between the self-proclaimed murderer. Great just what I needed. To be around a confused psycho. The fight was extremely odd though the weapons stopping and waiting until what they said had finished. Closer to the end of the battle it would don on me just what was happening. They were trying to prove each other wrong and somehow the weapons went in favor of the one with the most evidence to prove it. I doubt it was anything that psycho would bring up. She was utterly destroyed later on. Which means.....Joe has an interesting new talent to keep an eye on. I couldn't help but chuckle seeing the You aren't the murderer words floating in the air. "So she was just claiming it after all. Doesn't change the fact that she is dangerous." I says quietly before walking over to them. "Good job there Joe. That was amazing......whatever that was. And I agree....by the look of that gun being tossed, I can't help but agree that we
"I still didn't get my pizza." David sighed in a bored tone. "She was lying you blue haired baboon." "That's not very Junior." David responded. "I'm gonna have to spank ya when we get backs to our dorm." "Ugh..." "So Hikaru what are we gonna do about that pizza?" David asked. "I mean is this pizza thing like gonna happen?"
Jinx jumped off the lowest rung of the fire escape and moved towards the large group of people gathered together. From halfway up the building she stared out a window, and watched the whole commotion erupt. She spoke up a few minutes after Rue,"You are a much kinder person then me Joe because I would have left her to suffer. Especially after putting you in the god damn hospital, and those cops in the grave." She turned to Hikaru and her eyes turned full black,"You hurt my friends again bitch, and I can assure you we are going to have a fucking problem. Only reason I ain't beating the fuck out of you is because it's not my revenge to fulfill. If Joe chooses to let it go then fine." She sighed feeling the wear of the day on her shoulders. She turned back to Joe," I need to talk to you. Meekesh doesn't seem to give a flying fuck about the matter but there is most assuredly a necromancer controlling the souls around here. Hence why I can't talk to the students. I tried to perform a seance by myself and gain some more information, but I couldn't hold him. I know two main things. One, whoever this son of a bitch is. He is not happy that we are getting involved and Two..he still wants the book to obtain power. Anyway, I'm leaving. This night is a fucking hell hole of a night and I wish to enjoy the comfort of my abode even if it means the bitching and moaning of the damned. I will see you at school tomorrow." Jinx nodded towards Rue and David then moved towards her motorcyle and headed back to campus, her body so exhausted that she knew she was bitchy, tired and said plenty of things that were both cruel, mean and regretful. Hopefully the impression of familiarity would ease the strain of the day and the lack of pills she hadn't taken for her insomnia.
Hikaru studied the words of the girl for a couple of seconds and then she turned to Joe and asked. "Who is this girl? Your girlfriend?"
I listened to everything quietly and sighed. "I see... have a nice night and I will see you tomorrow, I sincerely hope that you'll be in a better mood when we see each other tomorrow." I said, I watched her leave and then turned to Hikaru. "No, she's not my girlfriend. Just a good friend, don't get me wrong she's usually a very lovely girl, and any man or woman would be lucky to have her, however it wouldn't really work out. I'm gay, you see." I said chuckling awkwardly and rubbing the back of my head.
Hikaru looked at Joe dumbfounded. "Naaa, you're not gay, I can recognize a gay at miles...." said the girl. "You sure you're just not confused? here kiss the guy... I won't believe you 'till you do it!" stated while forcefully pulling David and putting him between her and Joe.
My face went beet red and I covered my mouth quickly shaking my head. "N-No, m-my first kiss has to be special, b-besides I'm not attracted to David like that! I don't have to prove it to you, I know my sexual preferences!" I said, only taking my hand an inch away from my mouth before clasping it back on my mouth. I had always been called a freak or a demon because of my calming aura, so I didn't really have much contact with other people. I didn't ever even have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. I just knew I was gay. I never found females attractive, however I did find males attractive. I'd never felt the need to put up any sort of act about my sexual preferences, I told my mother when I figured that I was gay, she was perfectly fine with it, and I never hung out with others, so I never really felt pressure about trying to please others by acting like something I wasn't.
David stared at Joe and Rue, raising an eyebrow as his gaze drifted back down to Hikaru. "If I kiss him do I get the pizza?" David asked "Yes....kiss him....bite his tongue off and drink the blood within and then shove down Hikaru's throat and feast on her neck!" Junior giggled. "Yes David! Do as I command bwahahaha!" "Do...." He said slowly. "Get pizza?" He asked Hikaru
"Seriously?...." mumbled the girl. She then got close to David while hitting him on the head saying "Knock, knock! is anybody there? I mean, I put a guy that claims to be a gay to kiss you and all you think about is pizza? Sometimes I think that sword you carry has more brain than you..." The girl's enhanced senses caught the sound of cops incoming.. "uuum... I think we seriously have to get out of here now..." said before running in the opposite direction.
I sighed in relief as Hikaru ran off. "I believe that basically means no, sorry David, I'm sure that the cafeteria back at school has pizza though, we can go there." I said, I patted his back and began to walk back to school, I was sure that this building had been the one that cone had projected on, but I couldn't be very sure, after all I was in a rush and I didn't quite get to examine the scene in more detail.
"Hello?" David asked looking around as Hikaru took off. "Who is in my head?" He asked. The visitor that knocked on David's head was ignored when Joe spoke up. "What!?' David snapped as he gave a hard swallow and surprisingly his eyes began to fill with water as he looked in the direction Hikaru had taken off. "B...b...but." He muttered. "She said we could get it and she didn't....and." More tears spilled from his eyes. "......I thought it was a pizza promise."
"David, quit crying. I know you're special but you're gonna freak people out acting like that." Mikkish said after he walked out of the building and up to the other students, then looked to see Hikaru running away "Hmm, what the fuck was she doing?" He asked, knowing she was mentally unstable "Nevermind. Not important. Joe, who was shot? Another student?"
Good Job Jinx..managed to be a huge bitch to most of your friends and acted like a complete child. Shows how desperately you depend on those pills. Not to mention the fact that you have ten bucks left for food tomorrow. You need to get a goddamn job. Jinx sighed, pulling over into the campus parking lot, and turning off her bike. She brushed back her hair taking a large breath and walked towards the dorms, her hands clutching the pharmacy bag containing her pills. She headed down the hallway, and pulled her keys out of her jacket when she noticed her door was slightly open. Did I leave that open? No. You definitely locked this door. She closed her eyes and pushed it open, to see a complete and total disaster. She stepped into the room, her clothes and books torn and shredded. Every picture was smashed and the bird cage was bent and busted in the corner. She looked into the bathroom to see a shredded mirror and then something caught her eye. Her heart froze and she turned to look at the wall her bed was against and she froze. Archibald..The raven was spread out and pinned to the wall, it's chest cut open to expose the organs of the bird. Jinx gulped a single tear streaming down her cheek, as she moved towards the bed, and hopped on, viciously pulling out the pins to take the birds corpse off of the wall. She was quiet as she walked out of the room, clutching the bloody corpse to her chest, and shoving a small black kit into her back pocket. She kept quiet for the most part, as she made her way up to the roof. She went to her favorite spot and hid behind a savagely sculpted gargoyle. When she finally felt she was alone, she broke down, sobs coming out of her in droves as she began to remember her dead friend. pulled out the kit frantically and began to stitch the bird back together, wiping the tears and blood off of her hands as she worked. When she was done, she forced the body to move. The bird stood up and walked around, then jumped off the building flying slightly before landing back onto Jinx's shoulder and cuddling up to her neck. Jinx closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks as she felt pathetic. The bird was gone, and all she was doing was moving a corpse. Nothing more. She shut her eyes, cutting off her magic and the bird slumped to the side falling back to the concrete. She curled her legs up to her chest and buried into herself trying to figure out why the fuck she came to this island.
I looked over at Mikkkish and crossed my arms. "The victim was a student named Danny, he was part of the Fraternity, a single gunshot wound to the head, death was likely instant, then I was nearly shot and David was shot, right through his head, surprisingly, he took the bullet without too much troubl... we chased the second sniper down and then I... I had what I could only call... and this is going to be very strange... but... a... logic... battle... with her." I said rubbing the back of my head avoiding eye contact with Mikkish, knowing how strange and vague that sounded.
"And.....and....and." David breathed heavily trying to hold back tears. "She said she'd give us pizza and we never got it!" "..........." Junior remained silent as David continued to sob. "I...I...we need to go find her." He said wiping away tears. "She made a pizza promise and pizza promises are the most important kinda promises."
Theos & Roy Hendrix Roy wasn't amused, in fact he always held this monotone or blank kind of expression. “And you just so happened to ask directions from a guy who lead you into this whole mess?” There was a serious lack of effort into Roy's tone, Theos figured he would be more shocked. Yet Roy didn't press or intensely question Theos when arriving late into the dorm-room, or about the gunshot when it occurred. “Was wild, to say the least. Not that I don't care about the lives of anyone hurt there.” Roy interrupted him. “But it was a smart move. You avoided further risk of trouble.” Roy couldn't help wonder where these kids ran off to. Or who they were in the first place. The two young men would of been eating at a local cafe, however chaos due to a sniper lead Roy to alternate ideas. Roy had intercepted Theos heading to the hospital. Now, instead of checking on Joe as planned, Theos indulged in an offer he couldn't refuse. Free food....... “Between knowing about this and having to lie to your probation officer about arriving on time.” Roy paused a minute, head tilting to side while taking a brief moment to think. “And you know, I still have no idea why Luke went along with that.” (Luke is their third roommate) A smirk etches into Roy's expression. “I could easily blackmail you.” Roy's smirk swiftly fades into his normal blank expression. “However not only would that take to much work, it could provide incredible difficulties sharing a dorm-room.” Theos smiled, extending his arm towards Roy for a handshake. “I'll keep that in mind friend. The names Theos. But you can call me Tobi.” Shaking the guy's hand, Roy gives a half-ass smile while saying. “Alright Tobi. My name's Roy Hendrix. Just call me Roy....” Once introductions were finished, Theos felt it may be a good idea to explore the campus a bit. Having nothing better to do Roy followed suit. Roy wanted to look into the damage caused by the sniper. Along with attempt to prevent Theos from getting into trouble. Currently they were standing nearby the Dorm buildings.
Mikkish gave Joe a weirded out look for a brief moment, then spoke "Shit...not sure I believe you about David. But if the victim was a member of the Frat, then we may want to talk to them about this." Mikkish said, before a yawn came to him "Of course, they probably already know about it. It's probably on the news." Mikkish considered going back to his dorm to sleep, but didn't feel like it quite so soon "Anyone got any money for beer? I will pay back. Promise." Mikkish lied. He almost never repaid his debts. He was definitely no Lannister.
I looked at Mikkish and crossed my arms and pointed at the bloody hole on David's forehead. "That's where the bullet struck him, and I don't think that drinking is such a good idea... it can make you do some pretty unwise things." I said, I sighed. "How did the day go by so fast...?" I wondered, I yawned. "I think I'm going to go back to the hospital, get my things, get discharged, and then go to bed, everyone stay safe and have a nice evening." I said, with that, I turned and left to go back to the hospital.
I look over to Joe as he leaves and waves. "Well alright then. Bye Joe. Guess I'll see you later. As for you Mikkish.....You know, in a game sense you'd be the brawler that charges into a fight before planning it out with the rest of the party." I say before walking off towards the dorm. "Hmm. I hope Jinx is alright. She didn't seem too happy at all when she left. Sounded like she forgot my offer though. Guess she'd prefer to be alone." I walk on into the dorm and up to my room unlocking the door. I would close the door behind me locking it back up. "Well home sweet home." I say kicking off my shoes and then jumping ontu the bed. I take out my knife and place it under my pillow before I lay down and rest.
Mikkish sighed as Joe left. "Wow. Kid doesn't even drink. That guy needs to toughen up but chill out too. I mean, really, what's the worst that can happen if you have like...one 40?" Mikkish said, another yawn coming to his mouth "Alright but if nobody wants to lend me some beer money I may as well go pass out." Mikkish said, walking away to the dorms. _____________________________ His eyes flicked open to see the ceiling of a high school building. 'Woah...where the fuck am I?' Mikkish thought to himself. Sitting up and looking around to find himself in a hallway. "Mikkish Callanhad...." Uttered the voice of a shadowy figure as he turned the corner in the hallway. "What?" Mikkish answered, confused. But the shadow was gone before he could answer. "Hello?" Mikkish shouted, not seeing anyone else around. 'Wait a minute. This is...how did I wind up back here?' Mikkish wondered. This was all very strange. "Mikkish" "Mikkish" "Mr Callanhad" Came several more voices, as Mikkish caught people moving past him too quick to get a glance at out of the corners of his eyes. "Who are you?" Came a deep, amused, eerie voice from behind. Mikkish immediately did a full face heel turn and saw a man that looked to be in his early 30s. "I'm...uh...well my name's Mikkish." He responded. "No...." said the man, shaking his head "Who are you? A student here?" The man asked this in the same voice as before. "I was...but like over two years ago. I don't know how I got back here." Mikkish noticed nobody else was in the hall. Just him and this....guy. "What's up, Mikkish?" Called a voice from behind. Mikkish hesitated. This was creepy, and whoever said that had probably walked away already. "Mikkish Callanhad..." The man said "Aren't those your friends there?" The man asked. "Fuck!" Mikkish said with apparent frustration "How do you know my name?" The man just chuckled. Looking past Mikkish to something behind him. And in curiosity, Mikkish looked as well. What he saw was a thing of horror. Several young guys and girls were tied to stakes, writhing in agony as fires ate each of them. Their eyes begged for release of death, as their bodies struggled, as if they hoped to fight the flames off of them. Strangest of all, none of them was anybody Mikkish could recall. But they all looked so familiar, as if they were good friends of his. "Who are you?" The man asked again from behind. _____________________________ Mikkish let out a deep breath when he woke up on the floor right next to his bed. He never had trouble sleeping...but always had trouble staying in bed. Literally. "God damnit." Mikkish said to himself "Why do I always have such fucked up dreams?" He turned his head to the dorm room door, then stood up. "Free day." Mikkish said out loud. It was true. It was an off day. No class for students on his schedule.
