HEY YA'LL! WOOOOO CHAPTER 4444444 * party poppers*
Sooooo I apologise in advance cause i don't mean to make Lil sound like such a bitch and all so il work on that as well as grammar and sttuuuuffff XD
She could only stare terrified at the wreck of a man in front of her. To horror-stricken to answer his question.
"Who do you fear?" He whispered once more, becoming more pained by the minute.
"I...I..."
"Do you fear yourself?" he interrupted her. Her eyes widened at this and her brained screamed at her to run...run while she still could, while the door was still open and her friends downstairs.
"Are you scarred at what you can do?" his voice lowered "At what those things will dive you to do?" anger and self-loathe ran thick in the air. What was he talking about? "At what the world has shaped you to be? The things you want and cant control..."
"Why wont you let me help you?!"
"..."
Before she could even blink she was slammed against the wall, held by her neck. Adrenaline coursed through her veins as she kicked and clawed at his gloved hand in a vain attempt to release herself, her strength quickly draining.
She was alone, trapped with no way out. With a monster she didn't recognise.
"How can you possibly help me?" he hissed as he tightened his grasp on her slender neck with animalistic strength. Those twisted, dead, crazed eyes bore into hers. "Why do they look at me like that!? Why?!"
"I don't know!" she whimpered as her eyes began tearing up.
"I cant control myself... I CANT AND HE KNEW THAT!" He had never raised his voice before and he wasn't speaking in haiku. "I cant..." he said burying his helmet into her shoulder. "I am not like you..." his voice dropping once more "...I need it so bad."
"ZER0!" she finally cried using her remaining breath, and was suddenly dropped to the floor, gasping desperately for air. She finally looked up to see him shaking with the realisation at what he had just done. He began to trip backwards to the other-side of the room.
"No,no,no,no,no... This...cant be happening!" She looked in despair at him now cowering in the corner of the room."Leave..." she barley herd him say.
"Zer..."
"LEAVE!" Maya managed to pick her self up and scramble out the door, slamming it behind her. Breathing deeply she leaned against the frame, the tears beginning to roll down her face.
"HALLE-FUK'IN-LUJAH!" Axton excliamed when Maya finally scrambled in amoungst the rubble, looking around in bewilderment at the destruction caused in a few minitues.
"That didn't take a few years," Gaige cheerfully laughed then peeking round behind Maya "so where is Le Ninja in question?" SHHHIIIIIIIIITTTTTT, were Maya's first thoughts and the blood began to drain from her face. What should she say? Should she tell them? Yes, that is the best idea,
"Eh he is feeling bit sick so he is just stayin in bed." Well, done Maya, she thought mentally slapping herself for the second time that day. They seemed to buy it though, judging by the look of annoyance spreading across Lilith's face. The poor siren could never get everyone-one in the same room when she wanted to talk to them, but there was something else in her expression. Was it...relief?
"Was he hot?" Axton asked strait-faced despite the visible urge to grin.
"Yeah he did have a bit of a tempr... WAIT NOT LIKE THAT!" suddenly realising what the commando meant and groaned in frustration. What was wired was no-one seemed to notice that she was covered with blood but seeing as how Lilith was blinded by rage, Axton by bandages, Brick was too used to it and Gaige was... was ,well, Gaige, it didn't really surprise her.
"Okay, well now that most of us are here," Lilith paused momentarily to kick the drunken hunter ,asleep on the couch, awake "I have two bits of info. One is that there are loads of new bounties going out for a bandit going around villages and apparently slicing their guts out, so that will be some fun." Brick smiled."Next is i have foun..."
"UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Cant we just watch a film already?" Axton groaned, slamming his head on the table.
"But I..." she said bringing out a small sharp object from her back pocket.
"Yeah! I brought 'Midget Bandit Explosion III' !" Gaige chirped in.
"I found this when Roland..." Poor Lilith was trying to tell everyone about something potentially very important.
"Aww but Ive already watched that 10 times already! How about 'Moxxi on Moxxi christmas addition'?" Mordecai suddenly perking up and waving his copy around.
"GUYS I THINK HE WAS..."
"Dude IM EIGHTEEN!" Gaige spat back at him and soon the whole room turned into a colossal debate over which film they all wanted to watch, which surprisingly didn't lead to all-out conflict...for once. In amongst the argument and clutter Lilith stared over and smiled sadly at her fellow siren, and went to sit quietly in the corner. She too had changed.
Eventually the films came down to either 'Twilight: Bandit Moon' (something about a horny school girl who goes of with a hundred year old skag) or the complete collection of Scooter's *ahem* home tapes, which Brick had managed to nick off him and Maya had the deciding vote.
"Common M your gonna LOVE it! The skag is super hot and mysterious!" Gaige said waving the box in front of her face ,because she was sure fast moving objects where going to change her mind. Mordecai and Brick stood there with their arms folded.
"Don't ditch us now! You have been friends with us for longer and do you really wanna watch that teen dribble?" No, but to be honest she didn't want to watch baldly made porn featuring Scooter's poor close relatives either.
"As I said, super hot , dark and mysterious! Just like your boyfriend!" Gaige quickly slapped her hand to her mouth as Maya's head snapped to her. "Hehehe..." She laughed nervously.
"I don't fancy him!" Maya quickly blurted out defensively and felt a (hopefully not to obvious) blush spread across her face. But Gaige wasn't buying it and put a hand on her hip.
"Oh don't you give me that! I've seen you running around after him, ogling his backside as you do." The mechromancer said with a coy smile (even though she had the strong sensation that her organs may be used as party decorations in a minute). "Scared of a little romance?"
Maya didn't know, but if romance was strangling each other that SURE! "Fineeeeee we will watch that 'Bandit Moon' thing." She groaned, in any case she gave the teen her best death-glare of death for good measure.
She was glad to finally be in her room and for some alone time. She needed to think.
Why did she defend him? She should have told them what had happened, I mean, the guy had just practically tried to kill her! She reached up and rubbed the marks his grip had left on her neck. She knew he was strong, stronger than most, but nothing like THAT. He was more of the agile, swift type, heck, she had even thrashed him in an arm wrestling contest before! But what disturbed her most was his eyes, twisted with bloodlust. THAT and the fact that she still cared about him after arguably one of the most traumatic moments in her life. Maya suddenly felt alone and petrified in her dark, empty room and the dripping water pipe outside was DEFINITELY not helping. She could here her own blood pounding in her ears and felt like she was suddenly back in that room, with that...THING. What had happened there? Did he...
Right then one of Maya's books decided it would be THEE perfect time to jump of the bookshelf and smash to the floor, making the shaken up girl jump literally out of her skins. After about a minute hiding under the covers she sat up and laughed at her self. First she had been tossed around by the weakest guy ever and now she had been scared by a book!
Wait!
Why didn't she use her sirens powers beforehand?! The thought hit her as she remembered it feeling like the energy literally being sucked out of her, as well as her life. She felt cold agin so she picked up her pillow and marched out the door.
OKAY...She could do this! She hesitantly raised up her hand and knocked on the door, and almost instantly regretted it. The door swung open to reveal a giant 8 foot robot.
"Emm... Is Gaige there?" Maya asked not even sure if Death-trap could speak. He digistructed away and a tired looking Gaige in red bunny pyjamas (it also had an anarchy sign on the back) slumped to meet her.
"Whaaaaaaaaaatttttttt?" She moaned. The siren took a deep breath and said,
"Please don't say anything, but could I sleep in your room tonight?" She could barley believe the words coming out of her mouth but Gaige nodded her head and let her inside. Gaige wasn't her first choice (or the likeable choice) but she knew she could trust her to keep her mouth shut and probably wouldn't pry TOO much into her business.
"WAIT!" the mechromancer suddenly shout, much to Maya's displeasure. "Do you know what this means?!"
"No."
"SLEEP-OVVVVVVVVERRRRRRRRRRRR!" she yelled bouncing into the air.
This was going to be a long night.
Another chapter done! YAY! Okay I know Gaige in this is a little... Bonkers, but it just kinda happened sooo yeahhhhhh. I also only made Maya go to her room JUST so I could dae the SLEEEEEPPPPPOVVVEEERRRRRR bit :D Also I didn't intend for Zer0 to come across so...mental, but it will make sense, me promise !
So tells me what you think!
