Wake The Hell Up

[lxghtblooms]

Aqua’s patience was wearing thin as Terra opted not to give much in the way of details about how he ended up with a broken arm. He had been getting more and more beat up lately, so she could only assume his gang was dabbling in something they really shouldn’t be. “I can’t understand if you don’t tell me what’s wrong!” She said exasperatedly, crossing her arms.

His other statement caused a puzzled look to appear on her face… The person who did this to him? Terra was rarely spooked and hardly ever admitted he was worried about gang-related fights. There was much more to this and she decided he would have to tell her, but eventually– as the boy waking up on the couch halted their discussion.

It was then Terra opened his mouth and blurted out probably the worst possible thing anyone could say during a situation like this, and Aqua decided to completely ignore his impulsive behavior and knelt down in front of the boy. For some reason, she was overwhelmingly relieved he was awake– which was odd considering she didn’t even know him.

“We found you in the park. You were sound asleep. We figured we’d take you here since it’d be safer than leaving you by yourself. My name is Aqua,” she jutted her thumb behind her, “and that’s Terra. There’s cookies if you’re hungry. You feeling alright?” She spoke gently and softly, a large contrast to her previously confrontational attitude.

[comaventus-blog]

　　　Ventus blinked in surprise. The brown haired man was talking, what he said nearly flew over his head as his gaze was immediately turned to the young lady beside him. Despite the situation at hand, Ventus felt rather calm. He smiled at her, taking a cookie gladly as he couldn’t recall his last meal. 「Yeah I’m fine, thanks for taking me off the street.」he said calmly, munching down on the cookie quickly.

　　　「Last time that happened,」he swallowed his mouthful. 「my brother nearly lost his head with worry, haha.」Ventus beamed in thought.

　　　「Oh! I’m Ventus, but my family calls me Ven. It’s nice to meet you two, are you two arguing or something?」

[adarkerearth]

He didn’t offer anything else in return to her, even with the knowledge that it would anger her even more. His face a mask of focus, as he tried to keep his thoughts away from the possibility of whoever he faced coming to hunt him down. Or worse, that he would come after Terra and people Terra had associated with, the gang, and...His gaze lingered on Aqua for a moment before shaking his head.

The kid was oddly chipper for someone that had just woken up in a stranger’s home, but then again he had woken up to a plate of cookies made by Aqua, and that was worth quite a bit. When the name “Ventus” reached his ears, the older male blinked for a sec, as though it had set off a spark in his mind, but to what it lit up was completely unknown to Terra at this junction. Giving the woman another look at the kid’s question, he shook his head.

“Don’t worry about it. Just me being an idiot. Anyway, you feeling alright now? When we tried to wake you up, you wouldn’t respond. Is that a normal thing?

I Didn’t Choose the Thug Life

[lonelylacie-deactivated20160124]

An exasperated sigh escaped her. She wondered for a moment if she should have expected this, after all the man had been just a little bit older than the other thugs and seemed to have taken to the older brother role for them. Lacie could respect that, but in that moment….

“Everyone is more concerned with the name Baskerville than anything else. Really!” She hopped off from the fence and advanced on him. Though she was much shorter than him she held herself as if she were an equal. “We’re not even supposed to be here. Those guards just wanted to hang out with some friends! If anything they’re going to get in trouble for bringing me here.” Fine, if he wasn’t going to help her escape then she’d just be a further pain in the ass. What? You thought it couldn’t get worse?

“Very well.” Her hands clapped as she walked out from behind the shed and caught the eye of her lingering guards. They came to her looking worried but she brushed past them and pointed in the direction of the path she had taken earlier to get to the backyard. “Bring all of the boys here. Now.” The guards did so immediately, feeling as if they had done something terribly wrong.

The boys/men gathered all together looking curiously at her and with her hands on her hips she raised her voice enough for all of them to hear.  “Look at this backyard! I’ve never seen such an unkempt yard in my life.” A lie. “You boys call this a hideout? Honestly! We’ll be spending the rest of the day cleaning the backyard, front yard, and the house.” The voice was commanding and enthusiastic, intended to rile and motivate them. There was a collective groan for a moment but she fixed them with a piercing ruby gaze. There would be no arguments, her eyes said.

“And if the lot of you do a good job I’ll bring over a dozen of my girlfriends and we’ll have a party.” The groans turned into cheers and the boys scrambled to try and pick up the yard. Girls were coming over?! Heh, men were so simple sometimes. Speaking of….Lacie turned to look at the tall man she had talked with earlier and gave him the most devious, satisfied smile she could muster.

“Oh, there you are. Good, you’re going to help by cleaning the gutters.” He was the tallest, oldest, and probably the strongest. Better to send him up on the roof than one of the younger ones. Well in the end she was doing a good thing–he wouldn’t help her leave so now he’d never get rid of her. Can anyone say, den mother?

[adarkerearth]

“I don’t care! I’m not risking anything with them. The last thing we need is anymore interaction with the damn mafia. The less we have to deal with you, the better! So if you’ve got no reason to be here, you can leave!”

It was that simple when dealing with this nonsense. He didn’t want to deal with her anymore, and he knew that proceeding any further with her would only cause more trouble, more commotion, and more problems that he had no intention of dealing with. Of course, even with his adamant stance, she managed to maneuver around it...

It was terrible. She was putting on a show that seemed to physically ail him, but not nearly as much as it did to watch his friends play their parts like obedient lapdogs. There was a long list of things that Terra was not willing to put up with today, and inbetween having to take care of these idiots and having Aqua berate him for doing the former, he had long gone past that line. But most of all he was the at the very end of his mental fortitude with this woman. Time to step up.

“NO!”

The outburst was enough to silence everyone, eyes drawn to Terra in surprise and fear. Turning to face the boys who were now, paying very close attention to their senior member, he stepped forward, enraged.

“What are you doing?! She’s playing you people like toys and you guys can’t even tell?! You’re supposed to be criminals and you want to attract MORE attention?! Listening to her going on about stupid parties with girls that none of your are even old enough to be with?! Are you morons?!”

“But, she said-”

“I KNOW WHAT SHE SAID, I’M RIGHT HERE! That’s the next problem-”

He quickly returned his anger to the primary target; the woman who didn’t understand that enough was enough.

“What are you even doing here?! Your guards are here visiting their friends, well now they did that, and now you can leave! We’re not here to deal with you, and we’re not going to be your playthings! So if you guys could kindly GET THE HELL OUT! You’re not wanted! None of you!”

[adarkerearth]

Wake The Hell Up

[lxghtblooms]

Aqua turned a sharp gaze onto Terra at his protests and she shook her head– as best as she could, the boy’s own head was knocking into hers a little– before returning her scrutinizing gaze on him. “I’m not going to let you potentially hurt your only other good arm, Terra.” There was more that she wanted to say that was left hanging in the air, and she debated for a moment on whether or not she should voice her concerns, but she decided that since the kid she was carrying was out cold, he wouldn’t hear any of it anyway.

“…And what do you mean, before you ‘something’?! You’ll probably just break your arm again, doing whatever ‘something’ is.” Aqua hissed, before shifting the boy to one side so she can open the door to her house– she wasn’t about to let Terra even do that at this point, less out of concern and more out of frustration.

Worries and anger temporarily forgotten as she gingerly let go of the boy so that he fell onto the couch with a minimal thud. Aqua knelt down and slipped a pillow under his head. He looks so peaceful, but also vaguely familiar– and it irked her that she couldn’t place where she had seen his face before. Maybe if she could recall where she had seen him, she could contact one of his family members to come get him.

“Well, hopefully he will wake up soon.” She said tersely, and walked over to the kitchen to grab a plate of cookies that she had left to cool before Terra had called her. Despite the fact she was more than a little mad at him, she offered one to him anyway. “Here.” She paused for a moment before setting it down, wondering if she should ask him more about his arm before deciding not to and sitting down in a chair instead.

“You know you could have rested here instead of… Wherever else you were.”

[comaventus-blog]

　　　Ventus, completely and blissfully unaware of the world outside of his mind, slept soundly even as he was jostled around quite a bit. This however, was a normal occurrence for the young boy. Random spells of sleep would usually take over him at a moment when he was under severe distress, and even as he slept, he did not dream. Rarely did he have dreams, actually.

　　　When he next woke up, he woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling. Ventus squinted his blue eyes, tilting his head at all angles he could to get a good look of his surroundings. 「Huh… how did I end up here?」Ventus asked himself, sitting up. Turning his head again, he was met face to face with two strangers who he could almost feel the tense vibe coming off of them.

　　　「And who are you two?」

[adarkerearth]

“Aqua, you don’t understand, this is bad. If I don’t get ready soon, I might be in actual trouble.”

The worry was clear on his face, along with a touch of fear that came with the knowledge that, at any time, he could face something well beyond his ability to fight. That man in the mask terrified the hell out of him, because he knew his face, knew whom he hanged around, and could potentially hunt down those closest to him, Aqua being at the very top of the list.

He sighed at her anger with him, knowing that anything he said would only further dig his own grave. Following in after her, he found himself slumping against the wall, thinking to avoid testing her hospitality for the moment. He watched her movements, observing the kid with a focused gaze. Something about him seemed to click in his heart, but nothing else seemed to make sense. The nostalgia was so strong, and yet there was not a single shred of memory to go with it. Her statement only brought further worry to his face.

“I didn’t really think about it. I was worried about something. Or really someone. The person who did this to me.”

However, his mind was snapped away from the task at hand as the kid finally awoke, causing Terra to pull away from the wall in surprise. He was taking everything surprisingly well, despite the fact that he had appeared in a stranger’s apartment. Only one thing came to Terra’s mind, and he had already spoken before he could think about it.

“I swear to god, we didn’t kidnap you.”

#6. Rage Awakened

[adarkerearth]

♥

❤ - Do they have a love interest?

It goes without saying that he’s got a pretty major thing for Aqua, to the point that he wouldn’t deny it if someone was to accuse him of it either. However, he’s also well aware that he’s a truckload of trouble, and ends up causing her a lot of grief unintentionally, thus why doesn’t actively try to pursue a relationship with her; she deserves better than someone who finds such little self-worth within himself. On top of that, he also has level of envy concerning her, that she’s so confident and sure of herself, while he find so little worth being proud of in himself. That said, he’s pretty smitten by her, and out of the list of people he wants to protect, she has priority over everyone. A dream of his is that one day he’ll grow strong enough to act upon those feelings, but he’s not quite there yet…

[adarkerearth]

☁❄

☁ - If they’re caught out in the rain how do they react?

He’s rather impartial to it. If he could avoid getting caught in it, he would, but at the same time, if he’s in a middle of something, he’s not gonna stop unless he has no choice but to stop because of it. That said, he’s a fan of fighting in it. Adds a little atmosphere to the brawl.

❄ -  Favorite season and why?

Summer, easily. No school,and his usual workout routines seem to do more when it’s under the sweltering sun. The heat seems to do kind things for him too, making him feel more energetic, as opposed to the biting cold, which seems to suffocate him.

[adarkerearth]

Wake The Hell Up

[lxghtblooms]

It wasn’t particularly unusual for Terra not to be seen or heard from for a couple days at a time, but that never stopped Aqua from worrying. Her fears were always the same, that she would find out he had been shot or worse, or possibly dead in some back alleyway, and that she wouldn’t find out until weeks after the fact. So when her phone rang and she saw the ID, she felt a wave of relief– as well as frustration that he hadn’t even bothered to simply text her and let her know that he was alright– wash over her.

She picked up and before she could even berate him for his carelessness, Terra launched into a story about some kid passed out at the park. It was always one thing or another, wasn’t it? Aqua sighed and glanced at the clock. “I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes. Don’t you dare think for a second that this excuses you from anything, Terra.” 

Never one to be late, Aqua arrived at the park precisely when she said she would be, and blue eyes narrowed at the sight of Terra, her gaze lingering on his cast– so that’s why you’ve been gone, she thought bitterly, and held back any choice words she had for him because the unconscious boy at their feet posed more of a problem.

Aqua knelt down and checked his pulse with two fingers, just to make sure he wasn’t in shock. The kid was… actually sleeping, although a gentle shove did nothing to wake him up. “Yeah. You’re right. Who knows how long he’s been out for? He’ll get cold staying here like this.” That’d definitely put him into shock, especially at night when the wind would get bad around this part of the island. “We should probably take him back– I’ll do it.” In one fluid motion Aqua had picked up the boy piggy-back style, and she was hit with a strange sense of overwhelming deja vu that she couldn’t quite shake off.

“You know, since you broke your arm, you probably might not want to carry anything or anyone for a while.” There’s the remark.

[adarkerearth]

“Gotcha. I’ll be here.”

Oh man, she was pissed. Anger on her wasn’t quite as apparent as it was on him, but when she was mad, it was very evident to him that she was, namely thanks to the fact that they had been in that scenario more time than he really cared to mention. It wasn’t fun for him to be on her bad side, but unfortunately, that came with the territory of being the wannabe hero.

When she arrived, he could see the distress in her gaze. It made him sick to his stomach with guilt, but it wasn’t her place to stop him, though there were plenty of times in which he wished he could listen to her. Keeping his gaze low and focused on the boy, he nodded to her. He was out like a light, and nothing he could do would wake him up.

Well at the very least, Aqua’s mind was focused on the job, and she handled it quite well. While his arm was messed up, that did not mean he couldn’t have carried the kid with the remaining one, but he was certain Aqua would have actually hit him for that, and she did have a mean punch. Walking beside her, he kept up the pace, keeping his gaze forward when she finally gave the awaited comment concerning his current state.

“I still got my left arm. That’s more than enough. Besides, this arm isn’t...entirely broken. I just need to let it mend for a little while before I...something.”

Before he did what? Tried to protect the kids that were in the hospital now thanks to what happened with the Blade’s Shadow? Go after the masked freak himself? What was his plan? He hadn’t thought that far ahead, naturally.

Wake The Hell Up

Laying low was a tricky prospect for a man of his size and stature, even moreso considering he was stuck wearing a cast for his broken right arm, in addition to a truckload of bruises and cuts. Being absent for a few days would likely raise concern, but right now, it was necessary, considering who was the one who caused these wounds in the first place. Bringing undo risk to his friends, on top of letting them down to the degree that he was now, would truly be the sign of a failure.

And so, Terra was left resting at his gang’s clubhouse from day to day, wandering about in the vicinity to try and ease his anxiety while he got the chance, ducking away from people that might know him. He hated this hiding, but it was necessary until he felt it was safe to return. Until this, the local park had become his favorite haunt - lots of place to sneak into on short notice, even for him. But today held something different.

“What the...?”

A kid, laid out upon the ground with blonde hair. The man squatted down, prodding him with the fingers of his good hand. Why wasn’t he waking up? The kid was definitely sleeping, but never had he seen someone out of it this hard. Terra had a very bad feeling about all of this, and he needed to get to the bottom of it quickly, and there was only one person he could call.

“Aqua, it’s Terra. Look before you ask anything, I need your help. There’s a kid out here, passed out in the park. He’s sleeping but he’s definitely not waking up...”

Thugs were a dime a dozen. One man couldn’t single handedly keep every criminal off the street. Such a task was out of the question. But what kept most criminals in check these days, was fear. A shadow with menacing red eyes that glowed like fire. A demon sent from the bottomless cesspools of hell itself to drag the corrupted down with him. At the end of the day, Zed was just a person with the skills required to tackle this kind of work. But as of late, crime became much more organized. Small time criminals were acting as if pulled around by another person. And Zed wasn’t about to let this person slip out of his fingers.

The docks were the only place cargo like weapons came in. Being on an island, there were plenty of docks and places to keep one’s ship, but it wasn’t hard to find such large and important shipments. Waiting in the darkness, he would pick off guards one by one. Without giving any of the guards any time to react, he would be left with a small group guarding a single freight. 

His movements were quick and unrelenting. The retractable blades on his hands made for easily incapacitating enemies if it came down to it. But men like this who lack experience? Broken bones sent better messages than scars. Before long, everyone laid at his feet either moaning in agony or knocked out cold. Except one.

“You and your colleagues represent the horrid disease that plagues this island. But I know you fools aren’t smart enough for this. So. One chance. Tell me who you work for and where I can find them.”

[adarkerearth]

Guard duty for the Mafia was hardly something that Terra was going to put on his resume. It was a long night, but unfortunately after a previous fiasco, the DtE gang had some favors to pay up, and standing watch over this new shipment was on that list. In the midst of it all, was a very angry Terra, who was literally seething to the point that none of his friends wanted to stand too close to him for fear of him lashing at them, both verbally and physically.

Of course, even with his anger as fierce as it was, he would not stop protecting his friends to the best of his abilities, but even that would not help from what came next. Slowly, Terra began to notice the silence around them, the Mafia designated guards suddenly going quiet. It was a disturbing unease that he felt, as though something very wrong was about to happen. That’s when he attacked, the man in the mask. 

“What...?!”

Before he could even acknowledge what had happened, his friends were laid flat on the ground, beaten and broken on the ground like they were nothing but toddlers. Terra could only look on the scene, stunned and amazed. There was so much skill, so much refined ability behind the brief conflict. Any person with half a brain would have given up then and there, but looking upon the prone forms of the people he had promised to protect, Terra only felt rage.

“They’re kids, you lunatic! You could have killed them! You want my cooperation?! Then we’ll do it your way!”

The only weapon he had on him was a baton, which expanded once in his grip. Terra loathed using firearms, and thankfully, he doubted that it would mean much in a contest against this one. This would be a fight of strength to skill. With teeth gritted, he charged in, taking a swing at his enemy, not aware of just how one-sided this whole contest would be...
