Hidden Lies
(Couldn’t think of a good title:/)
Xephos and Honeydew sat down in the convention center, in the best seats for the ‘best’ company in the whole server. Then, Xephos left the table to talk with the people who deemed, the same, and worthy of his time. Honeydew sat alone, watching people talk. He suddenly leaned forward in his seat. A short woman, in a white dress, rimmed with a beautiful shade of blue, was walking toward him. Her was cropped short, golden earrings adorning her pointed ears.
Honeydew stopped. Pointed ears?
She came over to him, smiling. Her eyes were a beautiful blue as well. “Your dress compliments your eyes, miss.” Honeydew spoke as he slid out of his chair. “Why thank you, old friend.” She responded. the small dwarf rose an eyebrow. Old friend? Her face instantly soured. “Seems like he...” She muttered. Her face smiled. “How are you fairing today?” She asked quietly. “I’m...” Honeydew sighed. “I’m worried.” She cocked her head to the side. “How so?” She asked.
Should he tell her?
“Xephos...he’s hiding things.” Honeydew said. She nodded. “Oh? He is?” She asked. “And this...military get up! He looks like a damn Naz-” She rose up her hand. “Then-you simply need to be careful of him.” She stated firmly. “And...call me. I know how to handle him.” She reached into her bag that he did not notice she was carrying. She opened it, taking out a business card. He took it, and read it.
“Illusive Company. Weapons division.”
She chuckle softly, and walked away. Honeydew watched her. She was simply...mesmerizing. “Simon!” Xephos yelled, causing him to flinch. The man with blue, red pupils, stormed up to him. “Who was that?” He growled. “I-I didn’t get her name!” Honeydew started. “The card. Give me that card!” Xephos bellowed. Honeydew gave the card, and watched as Xephos bear his teeth. “Do YOU know who this is?” Honeydew asked. “I don’t. Not anymore.” Xephos spoke. “You don’t speak to her. Ever.” Honeydew crossed his arms. “You don’t tell me what to do!” He exclaimed. “I don’t want you to know.” Xephos growled. “I don’t want you to know who she is.”
“Let us start the dinner!”
Xephos sat down at the table, crumpling up the card. Honeydew sat next to him. “This is another secret you aren’t telling me.” Honeydew hissed. “Who is she?” Xephos looked at the stage. Strife stepped up to the stage, and tapped the mic. He started to speak, welcoming the fellow scientists and companies to dinner. Though, Xephos didn’t listen.
“Welcoming, the newer branch of Strife Solutions! The Illusive Weapons Divisions leader, Julie White!”
The same women in the beautiful dress walked up to the stage, and hugged Strife. She went up to the microphone.
“Thank you, for welcoming me, dear friend.”
She smiled. It was too similar to Xephos’
“I for one, love a good dinner. With friends...family...new people...”
She chuckled.
“And I’m ready to start working hard for Mr. Strife. He has been gracious to me, to giving me a new job, after I was thrown away.”
Then, she laid her eyes on Xephos. Their eyes met.
“I will be a good scientist for him. Thank you for having me.”
She stepped off the stage. William Strife began to speak again. Xephos slid out of his chair. “Come.” He said. Honeydew got up as well, and they walked quietly away, into the hallway.
“Where are we going, Lew-?”
The woman stood before them, eyes giving off a strange glow. Her gentle face was hardened. Xephos reached into his coat, and she reached under her dress.
“What-”
Both of them drew pistols. Quickly, they readied to shoot. She grinned devilishly. “Well, well, well.” She said. “I was wondering how long it would take you to realize that I am here.” Xephos scowled. “You shouldn’t be here.” He stated. “You shouldn’t have thrown me out.” She retorted. “I am the boss. You listen to me!” Xephos exclaimed. She lowered her gun. “We were partners.” She growled. “I TRUSTED you.”
Honeydew crossed his arms. “How do you two know each other?!!” He exclaimed. “You two pull out damn guns for no apparent reasons-and then you two start arguing about...throwing each other away, being a boss-” Xephos grunted, and both the woman and Xephos looked down at the dwarf. The woman gave a creepy grin, while Xephos scowled. They looked like the opposite sides of a coin. These two creeped out Honeydew. Both deranged looking somewhat. “Couldn’t you tell?” The woman asked. “Don’t you dare.” Xephos hissed. “Xephos and I...” He looked away, wanting to strangle her, but he kept under control.
“Xephos and I are twins.”
(So...um. I’m not sure what to say. But, here? I kinda tossed around the idea of your version of Xephos making sure of erasing any ties of family he had. But, he could not kill his twin. He would be in pain. Mentally. He cared, really, but she denied using weapons against defective clones.
I’ll take it down if I must.)
