Chapter 4: Memories of a Blossoming Love
"What the hell just happened?" asked Nexus as he stared in confusion at the dead ursa before them.
"Well, I believe someone threw their weapon and it killed the ursa." Reave replied sarcastically as he stood up clutching his side.
"Oh shit, I think I recognize that trident," Nexus groaned, "I met her earlier, before this whole 'dumped in a forest' thing."
"Oh god, why did it have to be your sorry ass I saved?" complained a voice from behind the two disgruntled partners.
"Who is that?" Reave asked Nexus.
"That is Trinity Raine. She's... well, she's a bitch." Nexus said in response to Reave's question.
"Well you owe this bitch your life," Trinity retorted, barely holding back her anger, "and now we shall go our separate ways and pretend we never met."
"Ha!" Nexus laughed, "I'm glad that's what you want, cause that makes this so much sweeter. Don't you remember? The first pair you come across while in a pair of your own becomes the other half of your team. So we are on a team now princess."
"So it would appear." Reave added.
"Please be joking," Trinity begged, "I just want to live in peace, away from you."
"Why would I joke about something like this?" Nexus joked.
"Don't even start! You are always making jokes and doing things to piss people off!" Trinity shouted back.
"I would never!" Nexus joked, seemingly socked and taken aback.
At this time another girl emerged from the trees, this time one with brown hair and not blonde like the fuming Trinity. "Thanks for all the yelling Trinity, it makes it really easy to find you," the new girl panted. She looked around and saw the guys for the first time, "You know, all of a sudden it makes so much more sense as to why you were yelling."
"Yes, thanks Macey, that's so helpful right now." Trinity responded.
"Well, it would seem we have our team." Reave said in a hope to calm people down.
"Yes, we have a new friendship to look forward to. Not to mention a blossoming love." Nexus joked.
"I will never love you!" Trinity yelled.
"Hey, you were awfully quick to assume I meant us." Nexus noted, "I could've meant..." he trailed off as he looked at the others, "Nope, never mince, it was pretty clear who I meant."
"Hey!" Macey and Reave said simultaneously, slightly offended.
"I mean," Reave cleared his throat, "I'm a man!" he says in a deeper, gruffer voice than usual.
"Well anyways, I think we should get moving, cause I don't feel like owing my life to any more people." Nexus says after a few seconds of awkward silence.
