Hey Guys and Girls! This is Kain Le' Noir coming at ya'll with Brain Freeze! This is kind of a support of my story Grimm Solstice as most if not all the OC's mentioned will eventually appear in it. The idea for Brain Freeze came to me when I realized how close an OC I planned to put into Grimm Solstice, Nicki Cross, was very much how i imagined Neo if she could talk. So I changed some things around and Mocha Cross was born! Anyway I hope everybody likes Brain Freeze and I anticipate at least five more chapters, but probably a lot more than five knowing me. So sit back, relax, and enjoy Brain Freeze.


"Have you seen this girl?!" I screamed. I slammed the fifth random low life of the night against the wall and leveled the shotgun muzzle of my parasol at his head. I held up the picture for him to see again.

The bastard sneered up at me, his teeth outlined in blood.

"Fuck off bitch! I ain't gonna tell you nothin'!" He growled up at me, spitting blood into my face. I calmly took a handkerchief out of my vest pocket and cleaned it off my face. I looked down at him. I leaned down. "I will ask you once more. Have. You. Seen. This. Girl." I said pronunciating each word.

"Go to Hell!" He yelled.

I smiled coldly. "See you there." I muttered before pulling the trigger. I watched the remains of his brain splatter the wall. Blood always made such interesting patterns on concrete walls. I scowled. Great now I can't even enjoy blood splatters! Whats next? Not enjoying killing?!

"Dickhead," I muttered as I cleaned the flex steel cloth of my parasol, "These stupid henchmen always make me create a mess. I mean is it so hard to just give me the information?" I exclaimed. "Of course not. They're are just being loyal. They just see a young woman. No threat." said one of the voices in my head. "So what?! They have a shotgun pointed at their face! WHYTHEHELLISTHATNOTENOUGH!" I yelled.

Angrily, I pumped the lever of my shotgun/ parasol, Eclipse, and shot the corpse in the chest. Glaring angrily down at the mangled body, I began kicking it over and over again, muttering nonsense. A knock at the door interrupted my rant. Darren Rodan, my partner and protector, walked into the room.

"Another failed attempt at being civil, huh?" Darren grinned.

"I tried being reasonable. I didn't like it." I muttered, quoting my favorite Clint Eastwood movie, as I pulled a cigarette from a pouch on my waist and lit it with the heat from Eclipse's muzzle. I took a deep drag and sighed.

"I really should quit. What would she think if she found out I was addicted to these damn cancer sticks."

"It will be okay, Mocha, we'll find her." Darren said reading the fine print and putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah. I know. It's just that this is the fifth hideout we've hit in as many months and we've gotten barely a word on her and," I shook my head, a single tear leaking from my eye. "We're running out of places to look." Darren smiled sadly.

"It's alright Mocha. Don't cry. Everything will be okay." He whispered to me as he pulled out his own handkerchief and wiped the blood that had landed on my face from my earlier outburst. I smiled up at him and stood up on my toes so I could kiss his cheek.

"Oh what an adorable scene." A voice emanated from the doorway. I turned to look toward the source of the voice. Felix Dyavol. "We will find Neopolitan, Cross. Do not lose faith in me or my abilities." he said, his voice flowing through the air like a warm breeze. I glared, angry at being interrupted. Darren smiled warmly down at me before kneeling down to check the pockets of the corpse on the floor.

"It's not that I don't trust you Felix. It's that you haven't gotten any results. Also never say my twin's name again." I glared up at him. Felix glared back down at me and I noticed his hand reaching down toward the handle of his belt, which just happened to be a serrated metal whip sword. I smiled and flicked my wrist and with a click Eclipse expanded its flex steel cloth and quietly loaded a slug into its chamber. I placed the open parasol on my shoulder and turned my body so that the muzzle was pointing directly at his head.

"Go ahead. Make my day, squirt!" I smirked. Felix went to move toward me when he was grabbed by the throat and lifted practically to the ceiling. Felix is a lot taller than my 4' 10'' height, but Darren is around 6'10'' tall and practically dwarves most people. I flipped Eclipse off my shoulder and put the muzzle to the floor leaning on the cane like shaft and smiled up at Felix; enjoying his obvious discomfort.

"Careful Dyavol." Darren growled. Not intentionally of course. His voice is just so deep that everything sounds like a threat. I smiled sweetly up at Felix.

"Thank you, baby! I think you've made my point quite clear!" I said, patting Darren on the butt. He dropped Felix and stepped back, letting the younger boy pant for air from his position on the floor.

"Remember, Felix, I'm in charge until we find my sister." I said as I sauntered past him. Darren walked up behind me as we walked into the room where my own guns for hire had the lowlives of this nest huddled up against the wall.

"What do you want to do to the rest?" he asked, gesturing toward the mass of scum cowering against the wall. I shot him a surprised look over my shoulder, letting my heterochromatic eyes shift from their usual white and brown to a surprised pink.

"Did we lose anyone?" I asked. Darren smiled. "Not a single one of our own."

"Then, kill them all." I ordered without a backward glance. I lit up another cigarette and leaned on the railing outside listening to the screams being silenced one by one. Neo should have been here. It's a good thing I had such an amazing soundtrack to distract me from my darker thoughts.

I looked out over the city of Vale.

"I'm coming Neo. And nothing is going to stand in my way."
