Ep1 : Handful
Hexa's pov
I hopped down from the helicopter and looked around . Since we came ,the den seems to fell in chaos . Workers transport their God arcs and other instruments under the control of non-God eater soldier .
" Hey ! Move!" The loudmouth male worker who just have talked behind my back shouting while pushing me roughly out of his way , seems like he is carrying my god arc in the black case . I have no trust in him , not at all as I am walking toward him trying to grab my only property.
"Hexa..." The oldest woman in our group, name is Naiyada, grabs my wrist and shakes her head in 'no' gesture before I could say anything an old man with a cunning smirk approaches in presence of them . She lets me go all of sudden then falls back to stand beside with the tan boy
"Ah, you must be Hexa , aren't
You?"says the old man . Even his smile seems friendly but I can catch the seriousness in his voice
"My name is paylor Sasaki . You could call me Paylor or Sasaki if you want , by the way - could you please , follow me to my lab ? We need some private conversation "
Before I could follow Paylor , the strange feeling start to occur inside of my mind - ' someone has an eyes on me'- as fast as my though I turn around suddenly but there no one ... Weird
" hey! Are you ok?" The old man asks ,scratching his head . I just give him a slight nod in return
Shaking my head , I try to ditch the bad notion out of my mind . Although I noted to the aged man that I feel well and can think straightly like normal people , Paylor is still pestering me if I saw or heard something at brief previous moment
When we arrive his lab , he immediately disclose stern emotion on his face . He turns around to face me and put his hands behind .
'So the REAL conversation has begin' I think
" Do have any idea about how dangerous your condition had or going to be in the future? " he asks. I'm about to answer unless he just snaps and continues
" Did anyone on earth EVER told you how close the distance between you and death?"
"No needs for those information , sir. I... already face it ... Once by myself " I try so hard not to make last sentence feel... Deadly and yes , I failed . He let out a concerned sigh , his expression has get soften . Paylor grabs a paper and a pen then place it in front of me . He straighten his glasses while I pick the document up and read it. Displeased by the information , I toss back to its former place violently .
"Don't give me that look . I never like it either " notes Paylor
"I realized that I had lost my humanity in a legal way for long time ago ...but never had I expected this kind of situation before" I am so enraged , disgusted and grieved that I can't hold the venom in my raspy voice.
The aged man sigh again as he passes the paper toward me . I chuckle in disgusted
"I know how you feel , Hexa . Don't take me otherwise , I never like this also but it is a must . In order to ensure your and other God eaters safety , I require your sign in this approval . " he says with a troublous looks on his face
If I sign , this document is going to allow them to execute me any moment they consider me as a menace . No misunderstanding , I'm sure what I just read . I'm literate enough .
I feel my lips twitch into a grin , a crazed grin . Paylor raises his eyebrows when he see me sign easily .
"I don't give a damm..." I am hanging my head low and murmuring
"Excuse me?"
"Go ahead . Do whatever you want , I don't give a damm anymore " both of us fall into deadly silence . I continually bite my nail until Paylor breaks the silence by a cheerful voice
"Thank you for understand , anyway , welcome aboard. Since today you will live here so... Please consider it as your home , okay?" Straightens his glasses again, the old man leads me to the bay .
"Oh! Don't forget to come here every day for medical checkups , would you? . According to your files, you seems to have many health problems . Second , don't hesitate to tell someone if you feel unwell . The last but not least, Do not forget to take your daily medicine . Now , please, lay on the bay . Don't worry this is a normal checkup , you will feel sleepy but that's normal . You will be in your room when it finish. "
I feel my eyelids heavy as I struggle trying to open my eyes . I fail in brief moment and become unconscious.
Hexa's room ;
Veteran floor
I slowly rose from my bed as I look around . It's a room with simple features , a bed , a refrigerator , bathroom , sofa and closet . I hiss at its banal appearance . The clock on the wall shown the time ; 3:16 pm . I'm not sure how long I had been slept , I don't even know the time when I came here. Something bothering me at the corner of my eyes. Being curious , I walk up to the coffee table where the item laid . It's a brown paper box , I spot a piece of paper with a handwriting
- Hey, Hexa . I bet you just forgot that your God arc is not your only property XD . You better not to forget it next time , will you? . They seems damm expensive especially , That black turtleneck sweatshirt it even costs more than my life! I'll leave all your staffs on the table since you were asleep . -
Tanvir
Ps. You should meet Tsubaki right away after you wake up
Tanvir is the name of the tan boy on the chopper .although he is annoying , childish and too talkative , he still considered as a excellent God Eater.
I growl and toss the paper away , not because he carried my staff to my room but the fact that I have to deal with thick skull old lady
"Tsubaki , seems like we can't avoid each other after all" I murmuring taking off my white coat ,which I never like it , and replace with the Turtleneck sweater . I feel better when I'm in my trademark clothe . Well , Everybody has the same idea , hasn't they? .
I watch myself in a mirror , the reflection gives me a shiver down to my spiral cord. Standing there , An abnormal tall girl with long red - haired surprisingly examining her own hair .
"Is it... this long?" I said in surprise . Then I braid into loose pigtails and have my bang cover my forehead . Turning around and watching myself again, I have to admit that I never get use to my look after all . The last time I check myself in a mirror was 6 years ago
-Lobby -
"Hey!" When I arrive at the lobby,
There are two boys standing talking to each other. It is Tanvir and unknown boy . Tanvir immediately give me a cheerful greet , patting my shoulder while talking.
"You know her?" The boy with orange hair give me a curious glance
"Oh ! She was transferred from the same branch as mine ! Her name is..." I suddenly snap his forceful introduction without any of my permission and slap the wrapping hand on my shoulder.
"Hexa Reigail , just call me hex and thanks, Travir but I can self-introduced ." Well , only when I wish.
" You are not a rookie like me ,huh? . Too bad , by the way it's Kota Fujiki nice to meet you!" He greets with a cheerly-go-lucky grin . Is that real? I wonder...
Before any conversation could progresses , I tense myself up as I hear the footsteps ... from the woman I has known well.
"She is coming ..." I warn quietly
"Stands up!"
"Huh?" Kota crys out of confused ,The poor boy who has no idea about Tsubaki Amamiya... Now slowly stands up but,still, seems completely clueless about the order
"Stands up! , on your feet!" Yelling again , the woman crosses her arm in annoyance
Then she starts all the boring babbling about the 'rookie' schedules . I pay no attention at all since I'm a veteran
Tanvir neither, even he is a New-Type changing for only 3 months , I could see a boredom rising in his eyes
" Kota Fujiki , you are dismiss now . Both of you ! " the last sentence is full of anger and it's seems direct to me
" Follow me ..." I and Tanvir send glance to each other and after the older supervisor
"Since you are no longer rookies I'll just introduce you to the first unit , you'll work with the since the next day " Tsubaki explains in stern and quiet tone that she barely uses . She has heard my statement ? I'm sure she has.
Three of us fall into awkward silent . I sigh heavily , now I just want this day to end immediately .
"Hex"
My eyes widen a bit , this is the first time Tsubaki calls me by nickname . I could sense a strange expression in her voice...is that ... Wary? ...no way in hell .
"What?" I answer briefly . She stops and looks over her shoulder to me
"This is your last chance , you know that? I suggest you behave."
"It's none of your business " I remark and the woman gives me slight chuckle
"You never change . Even in this kind of situation ?"
I give her a deadly glare as an answer and , again , she returns me another chuckle . The wall of silence builds up between us second time
We arrive at the Den's hanger where God arcs were kept and maintained. A number of God eaters hanging around talking or managing their weapons . I notice a armed unit placing their God arcs to the hanger . So they're probably back from a mission
"First unit" Three of them turn attention to Tsubaki , so they're my unit here? Nice...
"Oh big sis...I mean Captain , Good evening ,sir!" A black -haired male greet Tsubaki . Who is he to her? Kindred? Maybe...
The other two of the unit are a woman with a black-bob haired and orange eyes and a tall hoodie guy. The orange eyes woman gives me a welcome smile while the hood guy...wait... Does he... staring me?
"Let me fast introduce these two recruits ,
On the left , Tanvir xialong , he is a New-type God eater . Although he has been active for only 5 months , he was considered and proved as a outstanding medic God eater
And on the right , Hexa Reigail , she is a brilliant veteran but she retired for 1 year due to Heath condition ..."
My mind is wondering around the hanger as I'm bored to death . Some God eaters has an eyes on us as if we're the most interesting thing in the world . Seems like transferring is not usual in Far East branch or I'm actually the who get used to it. Suddenly, my eyes shout open in horror when the loudmouth worker ,who carried my god arc on his back, is carelessly throwing the black case of my weapon right on the ground . .
The next thing he could know would be the feeling of being toss away across the room . The crowd shocked and has an eyes on me . My eyes and my hands twists because of anger , am I look like a demoness? Why I hear someone scream? The damm worker struggling pushing himself on his legs. He let out a terrified scream when I reach and grab his shirt
"You crossed over the line , worker..." I grit my teeth trying to lower the voice as the rage took over my consciousness
I hear it again , the screaming of people , the shocked orb in their eyes . In my eyes , everything seems slow and broken . What is happening ? I see the man's shirt in my tight fist . He struggling and swearing toward me protesting the superior force from me . Huh , what a waste...
'He deserves what he has done' A voice in my head said as I feel my core twists
"It's true ..." I mumble and pin the man against the nearest wall by his neck
"Hexa! Let him go!"
"Hex!" I hear both Tsubaki and Tanvir shouting ,my mind already went blank but why it feel heavier when I just let everything slip though ... What is this feeling ? So nostalgic ...but I can't put my finger on it.
I shove another free hand to grip his neck , trying to suffocate him . The man face turns purple due to lack of oxygen . He is fighting back , digging his nail into my hand and moving his lip swearing and calling me name .
' You monster! '
"What a pathetic retorted" I commented
Yielding in his death sentence , the trapped male 's lips are twisting into a crazed grin
"Go...to...hell , demonic sl*t "
Before I could take any action I feel a hand gripped from my shoulder , it's Tanvir's
"Enough! , hex." I hate it when I flinch just because he called my nickname . I slowly regain consciousness and slightly gasp at the action
"Did I ..?
"It's okay, Hex . It's gone" Tanvir whispers from the distance that I could hear his wary voice
"Got yourself into the hot water on the first day of arrival? . As handful as I expected , Hexa Reigail ." The business - tone - like voice coming from behind me sends me a shiver down to my spiral cord .
Standing there , Naiyara and a man with blue eyes and blonde hair are sending me a cold glare . The souls start to fall into the silence . That blondie must be someone important . Trying to cover the shudder that built up in my body , I cross my arm as a wall to psychologically shield myself but I can't help flinching when he take a step toward me.
"Is that a 'secret weapon' 's trait? Hm... interesting ... I have to note that too." He noted quietly with a slight amazed grin
Then his grin suddenly fades aways . Replaced with a stern face , he looks up and joints his hand behind .
"Do my apologize for late introduction . My name is Johannas Von shicksal , the director of Fenrir Far East branch " he said with the business-like tone . I feel my stomach twists to how fast he can swaps his mask . This man is absolute untrustworthy .
Naiyara sends me a reprobative glare , attempt to point out my rudeness toward the director. I sigh in yielding and look up to the blondie
" I'm Hexa Reigail . The s...old- Type god eater transferred from South East Asia branch . Since tomorrow I'll formally join the first unit " I really don't understand why he letting out a small amused chuckle now . What is damm funny?
" seems like she needs some proper speaking curriculums , Naiyana. " my eyes widen a bit at his statement . What did I do wrong? WHAT?
"That's my responsibility . I'll make sure next time ... She'll behave." She said and crosses her arm . I could feel the anger and annoyance in her eyes
"Well then, could you please, follow me to my office?" Johannas said as he turns his back and walk away . Naiyara grabs me by my neck , drag me to follow them . I hiss out and shake her hand away
"I can walk on my own" with that , she looks at me her eyes penetrate into my very soul . She pushes my back to stimulate me to walk and I hiss at her again . Honestly , sometime I kind of feel bad for her because I'm acting like an asshole occasionally but she isn't right either .I hate the way she act toward me and everything went even worse when she became a God Eater . Seriously?, why can't she just sitting in a lab and responsible for original job ? Damm her ! I'm not 6 or even I am I'm totally fine!
'I'm totally fine...'
"...ugh..." I feel my eyes burn all of sudden then I close my eyes and massage the bridge of the nose
'See..? I will be alright ...'
"Are you alright?" Asks Naiyana as she is patting on my shoulder and again her hand was slapped out of my shoulder . I glance over the shoulder to meet with her pretty brown eyes which were clouded by ominous
"I'm totally fine , stop babying me already."
"Huh , fine . Hexa..." She puffs out a heavy breath as she finds a way to my ear when she is sure that the man in front of us couldn't hear , she's whispering into mine .
"Be careful " with that , she turns around and walk aways
I watch back to the back of the director again , suddenly he stops and open the door on the left side of us then gesture me to enter the room first
"Lady first" I raise my eyes blow in surprised at his seems-nice invitation that comes up of all sudden
He follows me into the room and continues his way to a desk , right opposite me . My lips twist in straight line at the room's artistic state . It's overall is okay but when analyze the individuals the result come as nothing , they're so banal that I could tell its materials since they're using it everywhere . The chairs from wood... , the desk from wood again ... What was that? Coffee brewing zone? With a small sink ? Yuck! Out of my taste. I prefer something metallic or modern than generic one. Johannas walks to the coffee zone and brew his coffee , the smell of bitter and sweet hits my nose as I take a deep breath trying to absorb the scent as much as possible .
'If it tasted good as it's scent , I would probably like it.' I think
"What would you like?" The director asks me as he takes a sip from his cup
"Better not , director"
"Hmpt .. Cold type? You remain me of my son " he chuckles before continues his words
"But your problem of emotion controlling seems beyond my son's"
Fuck. I'm done.
I rush to the desk and slam both of my fists on it
"I don't give .DAMN about your BELOVED SON..." I declare in rage while the blondie chuckling out of amused . That just make my emotional burst become worse
"...You should be thankful that I'm not punching you in your face right now"
"If you have nothing to say more . I would take my leaves" without hesitation , I turn my back about to leave but the familiar figure intercepts me from the action
"Speaking of which , come here ,Soma . " Johannas says with a hoodie guy at the door . If I'm not not wrong . He is one of the member in my unit
Wow , great .
Sarcasm .
"No needs , I already know her." The hoodie boy crosses his arm , even he tugs his hood to hide his emotion , I could sense the irritation and hatred though the voice
Well... We're alike for a few seconds ago I've to admit that.
" But she didn't know you , right?" Johannas lay his empty cup then walks toward his son
"Hexa , This is my son, Soma schicksal and he is a member in first unit , I hope both of you will get along and help each other" notes Johannas as he tapping on the Soma Guy's shoulder . As I expected , Soma just slaps it away and hisses out of frustration .
Okay that's seems like me and Naiyara form minutes ago
Soma sends me a deadly glare as he retorts back to his father
"No way in hell"
This conversation is going nowhere . With that thought , I'm turning my back and rushing to the exist
"Is that all you want to inform me then I would take my leave"
I storm off of the room with a unpleasant mood . I see many God Eaters trying to greet me but I'm an open book , especially , when my core get soaked in anger So that they just leaves me with slight horror looks on their face. Why I have to be THIS emotional ? I use both hands to hold my chest . My heart is beating crazily as if I just racing with the death . I stop and leaning against the nearest wall as I 'unintentionally' ear dropping people's conversation
"Is that her?!"
"Who?"
"The mad woman who threw the across the hanger room in this evening"
"That was crazy ! Don't say that we have to work with her! That make me sick! "
"I have heard that she has a mentally disorder "
"Hey , she is here . You loudmouth !"
"Nah, she couldn't -"
"I HEARD YOU IDIOT !" With the interjection of mine ,they're all fleeing with full speed from the spot . Damn , those bastard ! Why can't they just leave me alone?! What is their problem?! I feel the various emotion building up inside me as the voice in my head whispering with me again
' Just kill them and their foul mouth will shut ... Forever'
"No..! You get me wrong!" I retort , my head suddenly hurt as the voice giggling .
'How? How could I get you wrong , since we're the same person' The clam in the voice makes me sick ,
It already knew what was going to happened . I'm opening my mouth about to shout back but the voice snaps before me
'Rejecting , Ah... Yes. Why do you think you could become stronger when you are ,NOW, rejecting yourself'
"We're no kindred!"
'We are , young child.'
I fall on my knees , cupping my head . My vision is burr as I feel warm drops of water fall onto my knees . Tears? It's should be tears , it's better to be a NORMAL tears because now I'm freaking out by the color of the liquids
It's red , crimson blood red.
"Hey ?! Are you okay?"
I flinch at a voice coming from the back . Attempting to hide the face of mine , I'm glancing over my shoulder backward covering my eyes from being visible. My face might look disastrous so that why I have to conceal it aways. Standing there with a concerning face , Kota , the orange boy who came out of nowhere , is reaching his to my hand , about to grab it .
"Stays away!"
"Wha-
"I said STAYS AWAY!" I snarl furiously and back on my feet when he try to mess with me again , I take a great distant step back
"Clam down , I'm just trying to help" He states sadly , I kind of feel bad for him . The boy is seems to be a nice guy , his only fault is messing around with me in this inappropriate time
"Help? ... Heh , How nice you are ...listen, if you wanna help then turn around and just back off"
"But-"
"Do it, NOW!" However , he just freezes there . I let out a small hiss then run back to the direction I came
I hope that I would just get off of these muddles and slam my heavy body to the bed . I'm sick of everything . Everything . There is nothing in this world could make my day any more worse . If it has , that might be the end of the world.
I accidentally bump into someone harshly that both of us fall on the ground in different direction and when I look up with a try-to-cover face .my eyes widen in shock . It's the Soma guy .
Damn you God .
"What...are you ..doing here?" Few seconds pass and I start to realize how dumb my question was . Of course ! , I just came out from the director room , ran into Kota then attempted to flee by return to the former way . He must be here if he came out of the room after me for sure but that's not important anymore because now, my main mission is - get out off here , real quick.
"HEY ! Watch where the hell you're go-HEY! , you're bleeding !" Soma pauses in the mid-sentence and continues with another worried tone of voice . He knells on one knee and grasps my arm that still covering my face tightly
"What's going on?! What happened to your eyes?! Hey , you! Over there , don't just stand there!" The hoodie boy is bombarding crazily with his question whilst looking around for someone to help and , yes, Kota was the last person not count me and Soma . The poor boy is pointing at himself , Soma nods furiously but then the orange boy just shakes his head in return
" I was already tried to help her but she refused , violently-"
"I'm fine" I snap and both God eaters stare straight on me
"Well, that's what I'm saying" Kota scratches his head , Doesn't has any idea what to do
"Fine your ass!, I'll take you to the sick bay!" The hoodie boy scolds as he grip my wrist dragging me to the sick bay . My attempt of removing from his grasp seems to be useless, luckily , I wear a long sleeves coat if he touches my bare right arm like that he might...
"Let me go already!" I'm yelling while trying second times to loose his fist . I'm fail. He sends me a annoying glance and open his mouth to say something , however , his action was interrupted by the savior that suddenly come out from the sick bay . It's Naiyara .
"What are you doing?" Simple but serious , Naiyara wastes no second as she roughly tears Soma's hand away from my wrist and shoves him aways
"What the hell was that?!" Soma holds his hand in slight pain. Both of the God eaters are sending each other an aggressive glare . My instinct screams out that this thing is not going to end up well.
"It's nothing . He is just taking me to the sick bay." I shove between them face to Naiyada's side in attempt to defend Soma . The older woman sigh as her eyes become soft but , still, the hint of seriousness in her orbs never fade aways
"Huh, Is that so?" The woman is shrugging her shoulder and shoving her hands into her pants pockets before continues another quote
"Hexa, Go inside the sick bay , I'll after you " ordered by the woman , I make my way to the sick bay's door . However , afore the door could completely shuts , Naiyada last words to Soma jostle into my ears
"You should keeps your distance from her , I warn you "
