This is a new Dark Angel story...for all you who enjoy it. You might enjoy those who are in it. There will be some twists in it. There are new bad guys, some old ones that we all love to hate.
I don't own any of the characters, except for the made-ups and of course Pip is my own. She just adores ya'll though.
I hope you enjoy this story.
They watched as the bodies were being dragged out and away from the where the others were being held captives. The bodies were badly beaten and harmed. A young girl watched in horror as they simply tossed the bodies into a large ditch like they were nothing, near the perimeter fence. Sensing her, the guards turned to look at her, and she backed away. She knew that she didn't belong there. She had to find the others.
The X-daughter of X5's Max and Alec otherwise known to the world as Pip, or 946, made her way through the crowded courtyards, trying to find any face that she knew. They had all been brought in here together, but then they all had been taken apart to be tagged and what not. Max and Alec had fought to try to keep her with them, but that was the last she had seen of them, when the guards had taken them away to the 'holding cells'. Pip shivered at what those were really.
Pip continued to walk, catching glimpses of little kids trying to play only to get snapped at by the growling guards. It reminded her a lot of Manticore. Another place she didn't really want to remember. This place she didn't really want to be at. She thought she caught a glimpse of a tall girl with blonde hair only to run into a man. "Excuse me, sir," she muttered, as she backed away from him only to see the fire in his eyes. "I'm sorry."
"You will be," he snapped, coming toward her. "You have no right to touch me." He grabbed onto her arm and twisted it so that she was on the ground. "No one touches me. Got that."
"Yes, sir," Pip replied in fear, as the tears started to form in her eyes, but before they flooded her eyes and she couldn't see any more, she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. The man's grip on her arm was released and another hand was gently helping her up. She blinked back the tears and looked up to see the face of Krit, a very dirty face but that of Krit indeed.
The man stared at Krit as he kept a tight hold on his arm, while drawing Pip near his side. "What's the girl to you?" he hissed at him. "She's what to you?"
"Family," Krit replied, as he released the man's arm. "And if you ever touch her again. I won't think twice before snapping your arm." He quickly picked up Pip and turned, leaving the man, cradling his arm to his chest. "You okay, Pip Squeak?"
"Yeah," she replied, gazing back over Krit's shoulder at the man. "What took you so long?" She turned to look up at Krit and shot him a smile. "I was began to think ya'll got out without me."
"Nah," he replied, stopping at what looked to be the outside shell of a car and set her down. He then motioned for her to go inside and he followed her in. She sat down on the remains of the back seat while he sank down the floor. "We all got separated when they brought us here. We all were told to located you. Just took me a whole lot longer than I thought to find you. There's a whole lot more people than I thought here."
Pip nodded as she moved from her spot over to his side. "Did you locate any body else?" She gazed up at him, while curling into his side. "Like Max? Alec? Zane?" He shook his head, while keeping an eye out through the open car door, his knees were up, drawn to his chest, with his hands resting across them. "I'm sure they're okay. They're tough. They got their own style."
Krit smirked, reaching out to ruffle her hair. "You've been hanging out with Z too much. He's been teaching you some of his bad habits." He then leaned back his head against the welded door behind them. "But that's good. He's a neat one to be around."
"Yeah, you are all. You're a good unit to be a apart of." He nodded, only to tense as a loud crash sounded outside their car. "What was that?"
"I don't know, but stay close." He then lead the way outside their car to where they saw their friend from earlier, dragging a body through the street. "Not him again."
"Behold, I've found one of them, 'freaks," the man yelled to the others. "This one the guards was playing with." The man smiled a crooked smile, as he kicked the body only to have the face turn toward Pip and Krit. Pip let out a gasp, as she tried to rush forward. Krit quickly grabbed her by the waist and held her close. "They're not so tough, when they're dead." The man then took the 'freak' by the foot and continued to drag it down the row.
Pip fought Krit. "Let me go..." she cried out to him. "You gotta let me go!" He then turned her back so that she could rush into the car. She threw her self down onto the dirt cover floor and then turned to face him with tears running down her face. "Why didn't you do anything?"
"Cause I couldn't take them all on and protect you and them at the same time," he said softly, as he bent down next to her. "We need to find the others. They need to know."
"But its..." She chocked on the words, as her eyes went out the window. Tears ran down her face, as she came up to his side, wrapping her arms around his chest. "Its..."
"I know, I know." Anger flashed through Krit's eyes as he turned to look back through the door of the car. "I know."

To...Come
It was a very long after noon for Krit and Pip as they made their way through the horde of people. Krit kept Pip close to his side, even though she didn't move all that far from him. He hadn't seen this much hate and destruction in a very long time. If it wasn't the guards beating on the prisoners, it was some of the tougher prisoners beating on the weaker ones. Pip clutched onto the edge of his jacket, as he slipped through a section of broken up trucks into a new section of encampments only to come up short. He quickly pulled her close to his side, burying her face into his shirt. He didn't want her to see what he was seeing.
"Bad isn't it," a voice called out from his left, and he turned his face to see the man who had dragged the body through the street. He shot Krit and Pip a smile while coming toward them. "But it has to be done."
"Starving them to death," Krit gritted out through clenched teeth. He tore his eyes away from the people chained to posts in front of him. "How is that right?"
"Simple," the man replied, gazing down at Pip when she peeked out from Krit's shirt at the people only to bury her face back when she saw the horror he had been protecting her from. "They disobeyed 'Our Laws' so we had to punished them."
Hope ya'll come back now...
