Hello everyone, sorry for not updating sooner, I had delays. Any who, please enjoy the story.
Chapter 9: Intruders and Truths
Gaige's P.O.V.
The intruder pointed his weapons at us, neither of us had brought our weapons, so we're doomed. "I won't kill anyone of you, just hand over the money and you'll be fine", he said, still pointing at us. I looked around and just noticed something, where's prophet. Before the intruder could react, he was knocked out from behind by him. "How the heck did we not notice you", I exclaimed. He shrugged before dragging the now unconscious trespasser away from the table. He tied him up before walking towards me.
"How did you just do that without anyone even noticing", I asked in curiosity. "I have secrets that you don't know about me", he replied. "Sooner or later, you're going to have to tell me", I stated. He chuckled a bit, but stopped when the intruder was stirring. "That's impossible, I just knocked the bloke out", he said before walking towards him and tossing him in front of me. "Hey, watch it", he said. "Why did you just try to kill us", I asked angrily. "I didn't want to harm anyone, I just wanted the money", he said. "Why should we trust you", prophet said in a deep, demanding voice, which scared him and me. "I would've already killed all of you without mercy, plus I'm an outcast back where I'm from", he replied.
"Hm, fine, I'll let you go, but on one condition", prophet said. What he said next shocked everyone. "If you could join us and not harm anyone", he stated. He gave a thought before saying," Alright, I'll join your ranks", he said. "But, you got like a spare room I could be in", he asked. "Up the ladder behind you and take a right", prophet instructed. He went up the ladder before he was out of sight. "Prophie, why did you let him join us, he could be lying", I asked. "The boy is telling the truth, plus if he does lie, I will harm him before he harms you", he stated. Listening to the words he said, my cheeks started heating up. "T-thanks, so what now", I asked. "Let's go to the hangar, I want to start tricking out your buzzard", he said before we ran towards the destination.
Shawn's P.O.V.
Gaige and I started to make some changes and additions to her vulture while the others were in their rooms. "Hey prophie", she said. "Yeah", I replied. "Do you remember what happened last night", she asked with a blush on her face. "Yeah, I remember", I answered. If I didn't had this mask, she might see my blush upon my face. "It was an accident, so please don't be mad", she said. "Why would I be mad at you for something done on accident", I stated. She gave a sigh of relief before tinkering with one of the engines.
"Prophie", she said. "Yes", I replied. "Not to be rude or anything, but why do you sound... unemotional", she asked. " I had a tough life back where I came from, not from my parents, from school". I looked at her, seeing that she was interested, I continued. "No one took me seriously, so I started to show no emotions and never smiled. It worked, but then they started to get scared of me. Everywhere I went, they either stopped talking or looked scared, afraid that I might hurt them". I looked at her to see that she had a worried face. I then said," Then one day..."
Flashback
I walked around the hallways of the school, looking for a place to hangout. As I was about to leave, I heard yelling to my left. I quickly ran towards where the scream came from and found a girl being cornered by two boys. Both of them looked taller, stronger, and older then me. As they were about to get closer to the girl, I ran towards one of them and made a swing at him.
The boy gave a groan of pain, but quickly recovered to face me. "Hey, watch her, I'm gonna take care of this fool", he said as the other held the girl's arms behind her. Without any warning, I took a blow to my stomach. He then punched me repeatedly in the face before he kicked me in the knees, making me collapse. I looked up to see that he was going back to her. I then felt my energy come back, not by rage, but my determination. I quickly rose to my feet and punched the bloke straight in the face, knocking him out. The one who guarded their captive let her go and started to confront me. I punched in the face several times before giving him a fast, and strong kick, sending him flying back against the lockers.
Both of them then started to run away. I looked towards the girl who started to cry. I walked towards her, but she scooted back. "Hey, it's okay, you're safe now", I reassured her. "Get away from me", she yelled. "What have I done to you", I asked in disbelief. She looked at me before saying her answer.
Normal
"What did she say", gaige asked in worry. "She said that I was just inhuman because I feel no emotion and that I shouldn't have saved her", I answered. I looked down at my feet, feeling depressed on what was said when I saved someone. She then lifted my head up to face her. "Hey, your not inhuman, your my friend", she reassured me. "Thanks", I said. "Were done fixing my vulture, so what are we going to do", she asked. I gave a thought before looking at her in a mischievous way. "Why are you looking at me like that", she asked in a worried tone. Without warning, I tickled her sides, causing her to laugh uncontrollably. "Prophie, S-stop", she said. I ignored her cries and continued to tickled her, before I got hit in the face her robotic fist. "Oh god, I'm sorry...", she said but trailed off.
I didn't understand why she stopped, but then I realized why. The right eye piece that was on the mask now lay on the floor. Now there was a hole that reveals my eye. I quickly covered the hole with my hand, hoping she hasn't seen the inside. "How come you won't take the mask off", she asked in curiosity. "I just don't want anyone to see who I am", I replied honestly. "You know, sooner or later you're going to have to show me what you look like", she stated. "Yeah, but I'm having fun with this", I said. She giggled at this before walking away. "Sooner or later...hm", I said to myself before working on the vulture.
