Chapter 9- The Unknown Ones.
Senna woke to someone scrubbing at her face. She was exhausted and sore all over. Then it felt like someone had tipped an icy cold bucket of water over her head (which was the case). She was certainly wide awake now. She groaned and pulled herself into a sitting position, she swayed for a little, but when she got her bearings straight, she opened her eyes blearily.
"Are you okay Bloody Mc-Bloody? "Said a glowing creature.
Senna squinted tiredly at her, "Not specifically ", she groaned and looked around to see another creature standing with a bucket in her hands.
"This is Natalya, she's a Dark Fey. I'm Regin, a Valkyrie ", the glowing one, Regin explained. " We were trying to wash all this blood off you, do you mind? Well that doesn't matter anyway". She waved away Senna's frown.
Senna felt her hair, which was nice and matted with blood, and her face, which felt grimy with blood and sore. She winced and saw the sink, "I think I will wash off myself thanks ", she said frostily. Then proceeded to make her way over to the sink.
She stripped and scrubbed herself redraw, Senna then washed her hair to the best of her ability. She then proceeded to wash her clothes venomously. She wore a pair of white boxers which were still quite white, and a white short sleeved shirt, which wasn't as lucky and was stained with blood and ripped where the arrows had punctured.
Regin and Natalya argued on petty matters, in which Senna refused to get involved in, she was sick of being trapped in stupid cells.
When she had finished, Senna hung the suit over the side of the bed. And sat patiently on the floor of her new cell.
Regin looked excitedly at Senna and both of them went to join Senna on the floor.
"So… ", Regin started of casually, "Where you from stranger? " She examined her claws in a relaxed manner, but when Senna did not answer, she picked another question, "So… What's your name? If you have one that is. "
Senna sighed irritably, "Senna, my name is Senna ", she grumbled.
Regin raised an eyebrow, "Well by the sound of the accent of yours, it seems that you are from like Australia. That's pretty cool, I have some half-sisters over there, we get our party on ", Regin talked purposefully casual and with a tad of arrogance. Just to rile her new cellmate. Regin finally examined her new cellmate.
Regin's gaze was first brought to Senna's face, where she saw a blood red tattoo curving below her left eye, curving around her eye. It was like a curved diamond which looked more like a throwing star also. Senna had dark, purple hair, and green wide eyes.
Regin whistled, "Nice hair ", but her gaze flickered back to that tattoo, it made her develop goose bumps. Senna did not look old enough to be frozen into her immortality, maybe that's why she didn't regenerate. She looked barely nineteen, and that would also explain the tattoo, and how it hadn't disappeared from immortal regeneration. Obviously it had been done young.
Senna subconsciously felt her hair, "It's natural ".
Natalya gaped, "How is having purple hair natural ", but Regin nudged her warningly.
Regin cleared her throat, "Nice tattoo ", she said, inside she was unsure. This being seemed so human, Senna has no fangs, no pointy ears, no horns or claws. "I guess that would have stung a tad yeah? "
Senna touched her tattoo with surprise, "Uh thanks. And I don't remember, it was done to me quite young. Although I do seem to remember it did involve a lot of pain ", she admitted.
Natalya frowned, "Why would someone tattoo a young girl? "She asked bewildered.
Senna shrugged, "I was only perhaps seven. It was the way my people go about things when certain things happen ". She tugged unconsciously at a hole in her shirt. She smiled bitterly and met Regin's eyes; "I guess I was the lucky one ".
Regin glanced at Natalya with an odd look on her face, "So I don't mean to be forthright, but what the heck are you? "
Senna suddenly looked extremely uncomfortable, "I shouldn't be talking to you people about any of this. As well as considering that ", She pointed to the camera in the corner of the cell.
Regin cursed herself, "What does that matter, your blood was probably sampled as well as your friend over a couple cells. Your pal was taken in for testing before you came, so they probably already know what you are ", She argued.
Senna then smiled, a cruel smile, it sent chills up both Regin and Natalya's spines, "Just because they took our blood, that doesn't mean they know what we are ".
Sooo, I is liking Senna, she's… Fiery. Anyone else agree? Anyway, enjoy, review, etcetera.
