Jagged
"Doctor", "Doctor", "DOCTOR SOMEONE HELP" Kidd screamed out as she panted and sweated furiously, filled with fear, confusion and shock. Flustered drops of sweat dripped off her sweet soft cheeks as the white tiger stripes began to drip and ooze down, from the constant flow of her crystal blue tears. Bare legs scratched upon leaves and plants smashing at her smooth skinned calves, but this golden haired beauty cared not for that.
The only thing on Kidd's mind, in those cerulean eyes, in her rapidly beating heart, was the poor boy she left dying back there to find a doctor. A doctor for the horrible wound she herself caused to Patch's right eye. "What the bloody hell was I thinking? I just attacked an innocent; oh FATE enjoys picking on me. (Sob) I can't let him die, not like this, not after I treated him so horribly. I just can't ACK" Kidd squeaked as her brown boot hit a rock.
The force of the stone caught her pumping tired legs off guard as her balance dropped, Kidd collapsed to the ground. The jungle seemed to swallow up the young girl; cries of pain weakly escaped Kidd as she tumbled down. The hill painted her body with muddy leaves, broken sticks, twigs, and pebbles, Kidd winced her cerulean eyes in pain. Eventually the girl stopped rolling and reached the bottom of the muddy hill, the forest seemed as dark as her spirit.
The trees that stretched and blocked the sunlight from view seemed to perfectly balance with her situation, dark, doomed, painful, and filled with showers of black futures. Kidd's cerulean eyes seemed to be the only source of light and goodness in this dark closing world, the light was scared though. The red cuts spread over her body were leaking stained spots of blood, Kidd shivered as she stood up on legs that felt like shattering twigs of rotten bark.
Eyes seemed scattered and broken, everything around Kidd seemed blurry. Darkness seemed to fill her world once again, Kidd blinked again and she was in a white dress, a princess dress, blushing cheeks filled her face as she saw a figure before her. It was Serge. Blue hair, colored bandanna, tanned shorts, and those piercing eyes of diamond blue. "Serge, oh good god please tell me that's you angel face" Kidd said on the verge of joy filled tears.
Serge smiled a bit, and gently raised his hand in a waving fashion. Kidd gasped in surprise, "What's going on? Serge, please mate don't bloody leave me" NO" Kidd cried out, her legs cracked into a run towards Serge. But the closer she got the fainter Serge's image became, Kidd cried as she ran through the image hearing a faint "I'm sorry I". Serge was gone before he could even finish his sentence, which left Kidd to sulk and sob on her knees.
Green trees and plants suddenly burst around Kidd, she screamed as she felt razor sharp claws slashing across her back. Red scars and vest tatters appeared from Kidd's back, she gasped as terrified cerulean eyes found herself surrounded by large black panthers. Blue chills filled up Kidd's spine, she felt sick and dead as she saw the cats lick their hungry fangs. The panthers snarled and reflected her form in their jade eyes, starving for flesh.
"HELLLPPP MEEE" Kidd screamed out as she closed her blood soaked tear filling cerulean eyes as the panthers engulfed her in a swarm of black fur. Crashes of black glass filled around Kidd as she awakens from the dream, she grunts noticing her mouth was gagged, and her wrists and ankles were bound. The girl bit her teeth into the gag and it tasted like, an apple? "MM" Kidd shrieked as she realized where she was. Kidd was becoming dinner.
The area around her was filled with huts, many sticks with fiery torches and prompted skulls surrounded her. Kidd grumbled angry responses as she suddenly spots a shadowy warrior battling with 3 tribe's people. The tribesmen had blood painted over their bodies, lines with a loin cloth with long sharp fangs for the belt buckles. They also all wore what appeared to be Black Panther animal skins; they were wielding curved bone like spears.
The man grunted and made fighting noises as he swung a long and seemingly "shining" sword, he crashed it across the bone swords with ease. The tribe's people were being bashed away; the warrior leapt in the air and swung his legs around in a high split jump kick. The man growled as he slashed his sword over the chest of a cat tribesman, watching the man gurgle in pain before dropping dead. Kidd was alone with the shadowy warrior.
Gnawing mouth fills of chewed apple allowed Kidd to spat it out and grumble as she wiggled her way off the food table and onto the ground. The warrior sheathed his shimmering blade seemingly composed of rainbow like colors, and stared down at Kidd. "Thanks mate but I think I'd like to know my hero's name before I UGH" Kidd started but ended abruptly, the warrior had landed a powerful kick to her left cheek. Kidd was now unconscious.
1 Hour later..
A cold splash of water washed over Kidd's face, the last remains of her tiger stripes paint came off as she coughed and began sputtering gobs of water. "Oh crap I am REALLY sorry about that, I didn't mean to make you choke on it, Kidd..you all right?" a familiar and gentle sounding voice said. "Patch?" Kidd said with a cheer of relief, she smiled and breathed out a breath of fresh air. Patch was facing away from her, preparing something.
But Kidd knew it was him, spiky black hair, stitched up dark blue pants, and green shirt, she smelled something coming from his working gloved hands. "Patch you're my bloody savior mate, I would have been dead meat if you hadn't beaten that bloody psycho who knocked me out" Kidd said. The golden blonde locks bounced as Kidd rubbed her wrists and ankles, glad to be free from the ropes. "Actually Kidd I was the one that hit you" Patch said.
Cerulean eyes bulged out as Kidd became red with enormous anger, "YOU WHAT bleeding bastard what the bloody hell did you hit me for? I'm your friend remember FRIENDS DON'T HIT FRIENDS, besides you can't be that guy. He beat up a whole clan of tribal panther cannibals; also no one would have the balls to hit a girl" Kidd said with a furious tone at Patch. A growl escaped Patch as he turned around, Kidd gasped as she saw his face.
Patch had a frown instead of a smile this time, and with good reason. To the right of his face, Patch was wearing a black eye patch over his right eye, the same eye Kidd had slashed. "Is this reason enough or is it normal for you to attack your own inconveniences?" Patch said angrily, he tossed her moon dagger to her and stormed away from her. Kidd was left with a hurt face; she looked up at where Patch was and saw a bowl with food made just for her.
"Patch I" Kidd started as she blushed deeply with embarrassment and stupidity; she sniffed cold tears down her face as she closed her eyes. "Please don't go" Kidd said softly and sadly, even with her soft tone she knew Patch was close enough to hear her. The boy frowned and closed his eyes, clenching fingerless gloved fingers tightly as he sighed "I'm all ears". Kidd took a deep breath and began "I have no excuse for my actions Patch.
I took your kindness and I abused it, I abused your body, your feelings, and your heart and I'm sorry. I'm..scared, I'm really bloody scared and that's the truth. I'm seeing Lynx all over the place. In my head, in my dreams, in my nightmares, he's everywhere. And no one is here to help me; I'm left all alone to face the one thing that scares me more then dying alone. I'm so afraid of what Lynx is going to do to me, of what's going to happen to me.
But that still doesn't justify the fact I attacked you, I scarred your face for life and I don't blame you for being mad. I deserve every curse, insult, and scar there is because you didn't deserve that crap I gave you. And I know you'll never want to look at my butt ugly face again or even care, but I want you to know how deeply and immensely sorry I am and I" Kidd stopped. The girl looked up and saw Patch leaning down and staring at her face.
"Your crazy Kidd, just crazy" Patch said firmly, Kidd sighed sadly and tilted her head downwards. Suddenly she felt a warm pair of fingers cradle her cheek, her head was lifted up and those cerulean orbs saw a warm smile. "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and while you may be butt headed at times, your definitely not butt ugly" Patch said with a warm smile. Kidd blushed and smiled happily, her cerulean eyes ceased their blue tears.
Patch smiled and rubbed her cheek as he spoke, "I don't know how we can do it but I promise you we will stop whatever Lynx is doing to you. If you say it's Lynx then I believe you 100. Just not sure I can help with the dying alone part" laughs. A spry sweet smirk painted Kidd's cheeks as she warmly grabbed Patch's hand, "Who said I'm alone?" Kidd said sweet fully. Both Patch and Kidd blushed as they held hands and hugged each other.
Kidd and Patch both replied "Thank you".
