The Final Jump Chapter 6, a mass effect fanfic

AN: back again my dear peoples. I wrote the first half of the chapter slightly different once again I incorporated a song into the chapter. x3 Would it Matter by Skillet hence the chap name ^~^. Reviews are always welcome and if you like how I did the first half of the chap I may do it more often.

Disclaimer: I don't own bioware, the mass trilogy, skillet nor their arsenal of amazing songs. I just own blitz and sometimes 'Noche xD. Enjoy~

Chapter Six: Would It Matter

"Ay dios mio." 'Noche banged her head against the wall of the Normandy; Shepard, Tali, Wrex, Garrus, and she were standing outside her and Blitz's bedroom. Skillet was blasting and they could hear it through the door.

If I wasn't here tomorrow,
Would anybody care?
If my time was up, I'd wanna know,
You were happy I was there;
If I wasn't here tomorrow,
Would anyone lose sleep?
If I wasn't hard and hollow,
Then maybe you would miss me...

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone,
Someone that I'd like better;
I can never forget,
So don't remind me of it forever...

"There I managed to get it unlocked." Tali spoke and they all looked at Garrus.

"Why am I going in again." His mandibles twitched in uncertainty.

"She needs someone but not me." 'Noche glanced at the door her eyes filling with sadness. "I'm her sister but I can only help so much, I think you're the only one other than me she could trust and hey she's drunk so if she attacks you, you can easily take her." She grinned and gave him a thumbs-up before opening the door and letting the krogan push the turian in and closing the door. Once closed, they all grinned mischievously.

What if I just pulled myself together?
Would it matter at all?
What if I just tried not to remember?
Would it matter at all?
All the chances that have passed me by,
Would it matter if I gave it one more try?
Would it matter at all?

The pink haired demoness sat on her bed downing the bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy she had gotten from Dr. Chakwas. Her ice blue eyes were glassy and swollen, the tip of her nose was red and her lips were redder from the drink. She nodded at Garrus and took another swig straight from the bottle.

"I was in love once." She glared at the bottle in her hand then laughed bitterly. "With a human of all people, it was around the 1500's. When he was a kid I saved him and his father from a demon I got this when I was there I got this." She pulled her hair from the side and showed Garrus the three diagonal scars on her neck. He hissed slightly in shock. "I lost the necklace around my neck. He returned it years later when he found me in a bar. He followed in my footsteps to be a knight." She smiled softly. "He foolishly followed me and he bugged me constantly." She gave a drunken laugh and some tears streamed down. "Grae you fool."

"You cared for him a lot it's understandable for someone with a strong attachment to another to mourn their loss." He sat next to her and put a hand reassuringly on her shoulder. She looked at him and smiled.

"You reminded me of him you know, that sense of duty and the anger that you were being held back from helping innocents and the hatred for government idiots." He gave her a small smile and she returned it.

"Is that why you gave me the rifle?" She giggled.

"Kind of. Should I take it back?" He shook his head and she smiled softly then looked at the bottle. "He died in my arms. My brother killed him, along with two of my demon friends and he nearly killed our father. So, I killed him and I gave them a proper burial they deserved. I guess when you're a demon its kill or be killed."

If I wasn't here tomorrow,
Would anybody care?
Still stuck inside this sorrow,
I got nothin' and going nowhere;

I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone,
Someone that I'd like better;
I can never forget,
So don't remind me of it forever...

"It wasn't your fault you have to know that Blitz, you did your best for them the best you could at that time." She bit her lip and drank the last of the brandy.

"He DIED in my arms Garrus, I had watched the life go from his eyes." She shut her eyes tightly and shook her head. "I know it isn't my fault though it was my brother and my father's faults. My brother for trying to kill me for 200 years and my father who dragged me and Grae into that stupid rebellion of his." Her eyes fluttered briefly and she curled up in a ball.

"Well hey look at it this way, here you have people who care for you also. Your sister 'Noche. Our friends Tali, Wrex, and Shepard. And me, I'm your friend too." She looked up at him and he smiled at her. She smiled back.

"Thanks Garrus I appreciate that." She hugged him briefly then curled up on her bed and immediately fell into a deep sleep. He chuckled then turned off the music and walked out.

"You. Look. Horrible." 'Noche giggled and Blitz growled at her before huffing and rubbing at her eyes. The chat between her and Garrus was 3 hours ago, currently the four of us were in the debriefing room and heading to the colony of Zhu's Hope, on Feros.

"Shut up." The demoness cradled her head in her hands. She began gnawing at her wrist unconsciously.

"Ow!" 'Noche slapped Blitz's arm and pointed at her own wrist. A crescent shaped scar graced it and ran over her veins like a smile. Blitz pulled her wrist from her mouth and put her hands in her lap.

"Are those matching scars?"

"Err yeah, we made a blood oath that we would always have each other's backs. We slit our wrists and mixed our blood. Now, 'Noche has some demon blood and I have wolf blood now."

"Si, so Shepard what's on Feros."

"I'm not sure but reports say Saren's been here." I looked to Blitz. "Do you know?"

"Well kind of but I don't want to ruin the surprise and hey that's prejudice. Just because I'm a kitsune doesn't mean that I'm necessarily a psychic sheesh. Just watch out for husks and something creepy and oh yeah of course geth." I laughed.

"Sorry, but are you?"

"My mom was a seeress for a demon king when I was a kid. So I can if I want to but the more you see into the future the more blind you'll go so I prefer my sight thank you." She stuck her tongue out childishly, it's hard to really believe that she's immortal with how she acts just like a regular kid sometimes.

"You just prefer being able to see a certain turian." Blitz elbowed 'Noche in the ribs and said turian had his mandibles held out in surprise. "Hey Garrus next time you watch her six, really watch her six if you know what I mean."

"'NOCHE!" She giggled and Blitz made an attempt to tackle her out of her chair. Garrus was just shocked, his mouth did that fish thing where they just stare at you, their mouths gaping open and shut. He cleared his throat.

"I'm going to go work on my guns." 'Noche snorted.

"Not in here, you're welcome to do your business in Blitz's bed though, just get it all over her pillow." She grinned suggestively and Blitz covered her ears.

"You're so shameless. Were you raised by a pack of wolves?"

"Yes." Blitz groaned and smacked herself in the face, Garrus slid out quietly and muttered something about asking Joker about the female human mind.
