Rory Ferox || 23 || Trotters

“I couldn’t tell you yet, I couldn’t…” he stopped himself, already haven given up on trying to defend himself or explain anything when literally no one would listen to him. “Is friends even something you want to be anymore? That’s all I’ve been fighting for this whole time, I’m simply tired of being the only one.”

[roryferox-blog]

Rory nodded, glad when he cut himself off midstream. She had heard all the excuses, and she didn’t care. It still stood that she would have never done the same to him. It sucked, knowing now that she was the one that cared more. At least she could guard herself accordingly. “Yes.”

[rubyredxoxo-blog1]

She shrugged, “Why would I? You’re the only one whose shown any murderous intent towards me.” She wasn’t comfortable by a long shot being so close to the girl…but it was raining badly and she didn’t have the heart to just try and ditch her in the cold. “Well it’s not like Jack doesn’t know where my loyalties lie.”

“Murderous? Hardly. I wasn’t going to kill you. Just slice a tendon or two.” Which she could still do, but it seemed less important now than it had in the heat of the moment. Luke was right. Maiming medical was weak, it was the kind of warfare the Creepers stooped to. “How has life been on the other side? Has anyone taken up my suggestion of forming softball teams yet?”

Sawyer had been quite surprise when she’d woken up to a text from Rory. After Luke got hurt, the girl had taken over training her. A believe it or not, Sawyer was almost more frightened of Rory than she was Luke. But the last thing she wanted was to leave the girl hanging. So wasting as little time as possible, she changed into her gym clothes and rushed to meet the girl. Still arriving five minutes late. “Sorry…” She was going to make an excuse, but thought against it. “Um.. Yeah. Okay.” Placing her bag down, she did the stretches that Rory and Luke had taught her. Making sure to completely ready herself for whatever the other girl was going to toss her way. Pulling on her gloves, she made her way towards her, holding them up. “Okay… I-I’m ready.”

[roryferox-blog]

Rory usually judged how well a session went based on whether the other person cried or not. She always expected Sawyer to burst into tears but had been pleasantly surprised once or twice. There was a strength in the girl that she wanted to encourage, but sometimes that took tearing a person down. She gestured her forward, holding up her gloves for a light warmup so that Sawyer could hit back and get used to the weight of the boxing gloves. “You still need to work on muscle building so you can overpower an opponent, but until then we have to work with what we’ve got. That means attacking first, whenever possible. Either head trauma, my personal preference is nose, or stomach or ribs to wind them. Now.” At times like this she missed the broken off pieces of their former family. Luke was always a challenge. Even Micah wasn’t bad. “Land a punch.”

;knox raised an eyebrow at the girl suddenly under their umbrella. she was cute though, so they honestly didn’t really mind. “oh but I can’t help but be distracted by such a pretty face.” sending a charming smile, they held their hand out careful to keep them both covered from the rain. “name is knox.”

[roryferox-blog]

“You and everyone else in this city. Such weakness.” The city was vain but so was Rory, so she couldn’t fault them much. Her hand curled around theirs, shaking briefly. Another Night Creeper, she noted by the jacket. At least she had a type. “Rory. Where are we headed?”

[rubyredxoxo-blog1]

Ruby always checked the weather at the beginning of the week to plan out her days, so she knew today was going to wind up being heavy rains and brought her umbrella accordingly. Luckily it was her big one, so when the girl hoped underneath it with her they at least didn’t get squished together, “Um hi?” She replied a bit shocked at who it was.  

[roryferox-blog]

Rory grinned when she saw whose party she had decided to crash, summoning up similar memories of ran and plotting murder. “If it isn’t my favorite beautiful mind. I’m surprised you haven’t been killed. If I were Jack I would flushed out all the prime switching candidates already, yet here you are.”

Rory had shot off a text to Sawyer at 6am giving her the time and place to meet. They hadn’t had a training session in a long time, so long that Sawyer probably thought she had forgotten about her, but her thoughts were scattered and she needed something productive to focus on. Trying to make the other girl less weak seemed as good a project as any. Their gang was losing numbers by the day and Rory was determined to make sure that the pieces left behind were strong enough mentally and physically to build the Trotters back to what they once were. “You’re late,” Rory spat as soon as the redhead showed up. Of course she was, she hadn’t given Sawyer enough notice to be on time, but that was besides the point. “Stretch out, gloves on.”

[goddcsshcra-blog]

“I’m not sure what you’re wanting here, Rory. Only to apologize? To try to be friends again? What? Because you drugged me and left me in a public bar when you were probably very aware that I wouldn’t be able to get myself out.”

[roryferox-blog]

“You ditched me and the rest of your family and waited for me to find out from other people, I figured that made us even. It’s....I shouldn’t have done that. In hindsight, drugging a crippled once friend is generally frowned upon. People love you, someone obviously dragged their own down to take you home. If we can’t manage friends, I get it. I’m just tired of being angry.”

                   Griffinhuffed out as he heard the girls tone, his eyes rolled and for once he let outa genuine laugh – not flinching by the feeling of her arm. ‘ you know what, I’mgoing to take that as a compliment and roll with it.’ he hushed out, ‘ do youwanna go inside? Doesn’t seem like the rains going to lighten up anytime soon. ‘

[roryferox-blog]

In Rory’s world insults were compliments, warnings, or foreplay depending on the person, so it was good that Griffin seemed to be getting used to them. “Only if I finally get to see where your super secret headquarters are. Isn’t that knowledge you share with allies?”

[goddcsshcra-blog]

“Okay. Cool. Thanks for telling me.”

[roryferox-blog]

“Great. I’ll see you around, then.”

[khaotiics-deactivated20200916]

It was all but the sound of trickling water, the rain had noimpact on him yet, it did on the ones around him. ‘ Uh what the –. ‘ Griffinvoiced out as he cocked up a brow the damply wet girl. ‘ I realize that we setup a truce but, that doesn’t mean we’re thatclose. ‘

[roryferox-blog]

Rory didn’t flinch away from the less than warm welcome, hooking her arm with his. “Please. You should know by every girl that’s every slept with that pretty face. Proximity has nothing to do with closeness.”

[goddcsshcra-blog]

“Fine. What do you want?”

[roryferox-blog]

“To talk. I didn’t even want a fucking truce because it would be too hard to actively talk to you. I was so mad that you’d abandoned us, me more selfishly, that I couldn’t realize I’d done the same thing. I ditched whatever we had, and I’m sorry. I’m used to hurting back when I get hurt and you didn’t deserve it.”

[goddcsshcra-blog]

“No. The last few times we spoke, I tried to be nice and have a civil conversation. It didn’t work out for me, so I’m making no promises this time.”

[roryferox-blog]

“Fine. I will do my absolute best to be nice and civil, regardless of what you throw at me. Okay?”

[goddcsshcra-blog]

“Not if you’re going to be a raging bitch the whole time, we can’t.”

[roryferox-blog]

“Does that rule go both ways?”

[goddcsshcra-blog]

“Cool. Fuck you too.”

[roryferox-blog]

“If you swung my way more frequently, I probably would have by now. Can we talk? Please?”

[roryferox-blog]

The rain had come out of nowhere, first a light hazy mist and then two minutes later a downpour. Rory ducked under the nearest umbrella shamelessly, flashing her brightest (see: fakest) smile. “Don’t mind me.”
