When Mr. Orange guy stood up he walked over to me and took my hand. I jerked a little but to realize he was shaking my hand. ' what is he doing to my hand?' I thought as he began to speak.
" My name is Griff and it's nice to meet you ma'am." He said still holding my hand we starred for a while then I jerked my hand away and hid behind wash again. Griff went and sat back down with his companions on the floor. I peeked around wash and saw him starring, I jumped realizing that he was starring at me. I blushed and went behind wash again holding his shoulders tightly. ' Ow!'
"Whoa, easy on the grip." he said looking back at me. I looked up at him then at my hands then dropped them.
" I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you." I mumbled looking down holding my right arm. ' now that I think about it, it felt good'
" Hey, its okay sweetheart you have a good grip that's all, if you would like you could do it again, it felt kind of good when you squeezed my shoulders." he whispered. My eyes widened and I looked up at him.
" Really?" I asked a bit surprised at the remark. Wash nodded.
" yeah! it's like a massage that I haven't had in a long, long time," he whispered. " So you're good!" he said loud enough to were the rest of the men could hear him. They were getting loud with their horse playing.
" Uhh, Wash?" I said quietly, looking up at him. Wash looked from the men that were playing down to me.
" Yes sweetheart?" in that low loving voice. I shuttered at the way he said 'yes sweetheart' it rattled my insides almost making my ovaries explode.
" I uhh have a..." my voice trailed off. He got down on one knee and got close to my face.
" what did you say?" he asked softly, grabbing my hands for my attention. I looked down at him.
" I uhh have a headache." I said blushing madly, but wash couldn't see it through my helmet. ' I have never gotten this much attention before who is he and what is he thinking?' I thought as wash stood up to his full height still holding my hands.
"That won't do if our star has a headache dose it well, lets see what I can do." he said still holding my hands. he let go of my left and kept a hold on my right hand and led me to the infirmary where there were all sorts of medicine. He still had ahold of my hand went to the cabinet with the pain killers and other meds. He pulled out a BC powder.
"Is there something you're allergic to sweetie?" he asked letting go of my hand to get a cup of water. I looked around.
" No sir I'm not allergic to anything." I said looking at the box in the corner. There was a desk in one corner, and a bed in the opposite corner, and some chairs near the entrance. You could say it looked like a school nurses office except for the guns and tools that were used in here, and it was much bigger than a nurses office too. And there was not light in the room cause we hadn't put up the light bulbs yet I'm guessing that that's what that box has inside it.
Umm Okay do you take Tylenol or a BC?" he asked with the two in his hands. I looked at him.
" Truthfully the never had no one treat my headaches I usually sleep on it or ride it out. I never heard of Tylenol but, I heard the guys talk about the BCs while I was being dropped off here." I said looking at the medicine. Wash looked down at the floor.
"I'm sorry that had to happen to you, they didn't do that when I was there." Wash said putting the medicine on the counter.
"Where were your parents?" He asked turning to face me. My eyes widened with stingy tears, that's when it all came rushing back to me.
Missouri several years ago.
It was my birthday I was turning four years old.
" Awe THEY grow up so fast don't you think Richard?" mom asked putting the cake she had just got done with on the table. We heard a noise and laughed mom took my hand, it started glowing a pinkish color. mom looked down at my hand and smiled, then looked at me she saw that my eyes changed color from a beautiful gray to a light pink color. we walked into the room and saw nothing we heard another noise.
"That might be your dad with your birthday present." she laughed. I looked up at her with those pink eyes and smiled so big I had to close my eyes, when I opened them they were pink with rings and speckles of green. we laughed and skipped down the hall to be stopped by the scream of a man.
"GAAAAAAAHH! *GURGLE*" we saw our dad/ husband fall on the floor not dead but not moving either, with the present falling out of his hands on to the floor in front of him, scrambled to his hands and knees to get it. The aliens pinned him to the floor, he dropped to his stomach and while doing so the force pushed the box over to me, it stopped at my feet the box was so neatly wrapped but, the ribbon was crinkled it was a pretty good sized box it was big enough to hold an animal.i looked up at mom my eyes turning into a light blue color. mom looked down at me eyes wide she looked back up at the aliens and stepped in front of me.
" I thought we had a deal" she said looking angary. the aliens stepped on dad harder and he let out a cry with blood spewing out of his mouth.
" Daddy!" I cried holding moms pants.
" We lied we want the children." the alien stepped on dad harder. mom looked at dad, dad looked up at mom and nodded.
"You're going to have to get through me first." she said coldly. she turned to me. " Mystery take this and when I say run you run and don't stop running not even for a second do you hear me?" I nodded with tears in my eyes. " Mystery I l-" she was cut off from being stabbed. she looked at me with tears streaming and blood spewing from her mouth. " Run mystery... run." her voice trailed off to her dying they slid her off the sword, and her body hit the floor like a sack of potatoes.
" NNNOOOO!" dad said trying to scramble over to her, the aliens pulled him back and stabbed him in the head. I watched in horror as the aliens tear my father to shreds eating him they did the same with my mom but eating her slower. this helpless scared feeling was replaced by anger and hatred, my fist, eyes, and hair became fire a tail of fire sprouted and I let 'em have it.
" FOOLS YOU SHALL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!" I said tears streaming from my flaming eyes. the flames got hotter and bigger as they looked up from their feast to me.
" HAHA what a foolish child she thinks that she could challenge us and survive! there is no way to battle us and win child." The alien said moving closer to me I snorted smoke and moved forward.
" You think because you're high breed you can KILL MY FAMILY?" I asked in the aliens face. " I'm not afraid of you." I said engulfing one of his friends in flames, the alien squealed while it burned.
" And what makes you think that you could defeat me? little girl?!" he asked savoring my moms eyeball. the flames brightened and my body was engulfed in flames and I screamed.
" THIS!" I hissed then there was a flash the aliens were gone and there was nothing but desert, I looked around breathing hard and saw my houses ashes blow away in the wind. I saw the box mom and dad had gave me it was still standing I was grateful. I looked at my parents bodies the weren't burnt but they were eaten then I looked at the aliens crisp bodies there was chunks of human flesh in them, I levitated the pieces and put my parents back together. I looked around there was no water no nothing so I replaced it in areas, the rest was desert. I made a little garden for my parents to be buried in I dug it deep enough to were only I could get it so no one dug them up again there was flowers that hadn't bloomed yet so I lifted my finger and bloomed them real quick for mom and dad. I picked up my parents and took them to their graves they, looked at piece for the last time. I put them in their graves respectfully and gently put the dirt over them. I grabbed their flowers and put them on top of the dirt roses for dad and bluebells for mom.
" Rest In Piece mommy and daddy" and I left, the grass grew over top of their graves and they're still there today.
Back in the real world.
I broke down and started crying rain drop sized tears hugging wash. Water and ice formed on my hands, helmet, face, hair, and armor an ice tail formed soon after. Ice started to form on washes armor too, wash looked at me in shock.
" Wha- what happened to your parents?" he asked hugging me back even though he was freezing, wet, and confused. I sobbed even harder, so hard I couldn't breath.
" Th-th- their dead!" I sobbed hugging him tighter, he squeezed a little.
" i'm sorry that happened to you sweet heart but may I ask? how did your parents die?" he asked in a low soothing voice that actually soothed me a bit.
" THE ALIENZ!" I hissed. wash let go of me and stepped back as the ice and water evaporated and turned into flames and my feet came off the floor. I looked at him with flaming eyes he stepped back further, I froze everything in the room ( including wash) and a flame pulse melted it all. I looked at wash again.
" Don't worry," I said flicking the fire tail. " I'm not mad at you."
