Chapter 2
Vio set it in his mind to make sure he talked to his dad by the end of the night. 'How did a female kill a lesser?' He wondered as he sat down at their usually booth. ZeroSum seemed a little less crowded tonight. But then again it was nearly the human holiday. The drunks seem to try to straighten up around Christmas.
He ordered his usually Sothern Comfort on the rocks. It wasn't long until a few others join him. Luckily for him V came in early. Vio let him get a few drinks then went over to him. "I need to speak to you tonight at home.' Vio whispered as he sat next to him. "About?" V asked finishing off his drink. "A female. I give you more detail at home." Vio whispered. V just nodded and Vio got up from the booth.
"Their relationship seems to tense." Phury muttered shakign his head. "Nah, it seems kinda superifical to me. It's only skin deep. They share DNA and that's about it." Zsadist said looking away. "I guess so. There's no real bond there." Phury said taking another pull of beer. Vio sat back down with the young warriors.
He was so out of place. He was older then all of the younger warriors by at least ten years. But he was too young for to hang with the oringal borthers. Besides that would just be awkward with his father around. He finished off another glass then headed for home. No need to drag out the night anymore.
She appeared in the woods just a few yards form her targeted goal. She pushed her away through the tall graas and weaved through the trees. She stumbled her way into the clearing. A fire was roaring. It cracked loudly as she approached.
A curvy figured turned towards her. "Why are you back so early?" It questioned. "A ran into a brother." She answered flopping down. "Wanda you must be more careful. Did he see you in the light?" The figure asked sounding slightly annoyed but alarmed. "No it was in a dark alley. I think he followed the lesser I had tailing me." Wanda sighed. "Please be careful one already saw Risa." The figured pleaded. " Yes 'mahmen.'" Wanda scoffed.
V showed up in the Pit not long after Vio had settle in front of his ran his hands though his shoulder length black hair. He took a deep breath. He had ran into Janie on his way down. The wound still stung even now. He ran his hair though his garyish black hair and he graoned. He was such a sucker.
"Don't beat yourself up too bad." V said nearly making Viop jumped. He hadn't heard him come in. "Who's beating who up?" He questioned deining his self mulation as always. "What did you want to talk about?" V asked lighting up his cigarette. Vio noticed V always got this nostalgic look in his eyes when he sat at the computers, or whenever he was in the Pit.
Vio got up from his computers and went towards the kitchen to distract himself form his father's gaze. "Blay took me, he overheard you talking to Butch about a strange indicent that happened to you last night. I want to know, did you see a female with a lesser?" Vio asked pulling out a Coke.
"Something like that. I went to gut a lesser I saw went down a alley but there was none when I got into the alley. Just the black circle they leave and a female's scent. I didn't see one." V said taking another drag.
"I saw one, well I didn't see her kill it. I just saw him dying on the ground and her running away. I chased her but I couldn't catch her." He confessed pooping it open. "What do you suppose it means?" He asked. Vio shrugged. "What have female killers on your hands." "But why? Females usually don't go around killing lessers. Not the females around here." V said.
"No females have got missing around herehave got misisng. Do you think it's just one rouge female?" Vio asked. "Most likey. We'll just have to keep our eyes open." V said. "We? Meaning?" Vio asked. "Well the Brothers wee laugh at us still they spilt a gut so let's keep this on DL." V said finishing his cigarette.
He stamped in out on his gloved hand. That was one trait he was glad he didn't inherit. He's grandmother had been kind to him. She had been nice of enoguh to see him though the transition she had even borught a Chosen with her.
"You're right they would think it was a big joke." Vio said pulling his eyes away from the hand. "But Idon't get a good feelign about this." Vio muttered shakign his head. "Let's just see how it goes. Besides she is kidna helping us." V said said taking towards the door. Vio just watched him away out the door not saying a thing.
Vio flopped down on his bed. He didn'sleep much but his bed was his favorite place to think. His best ideas had come from laying in a bed. Mostly because no one distrubed him when they thought he was asleep but that was even before he came to the Brotherhood. His Aunt Katie didn't like to wake him up either.
Vio didn't get much thinking done though, he must have been more tired then he thought because he eventaulyl did fall asleep. He didn't like to sleep, not only did it make him feel lazy but he usually felt worse afterwards.
Vio's past past in comparison to his father's, or Butch's or Qhuinn's. His family had loved him, what family he did have. The society just didn't like him, he was born out of wedlock. It wasn't often that the teasing came back it was the disappointment that haunted him. All those he had let down to find his fatehr and become a brother.
Vio woke up in a cold sweat. He check the clock. It was nearly noon he had slpet six hours. That had to been a record for him. He got up and decided to go eat soemthing he had ended up sleeping though Last Meal.
"Sun rise in five minutes! Sunrise in five!" Wanda shouted banging a small gong. She counted the group as their scurried past her. "All accounted for?" Risa asked. Wanda noodded. "Yes so 'Mahmen' can quit worrying." Wanda growled. "It's in her job description. She will always worry." Wnada just grumbled something unitellegent.
"You know if she ever heard you say that she would slap you across this forest." Risa whispered concerned. "Ha! I like to see her try." Wanda exclaimed. "Don't let her cool appearance fool you. 'Mahmen' is a firece fighter." Risa warned then headed into the cave. Wanda just kept grumbling as she head into the cave.
