Heartless or is She?
Well here's another chapter of Heartless or is She? This chapter is going to end one part of the story and start in to another part. In a way it will truly end Ebony's childhood years and then we will start in on her teenage years. Well as always I don't own Chaotic Century so you no sue.
Chapter 6: Don't Allow Crazed Maniacs to Have Guns
" Help him!" exclaims Ebony as she ran into the hospital of Syrian City not caring if she was dragged off to prison or not. Ignite was injured and not just a cut or scrap she could handle that it was worse then that. " UH well you have to fill out these forms first," said the lady at the counter. " Shut-up and just get my little bro fixed up," said Ebony her eyes flashing purple. " Uh OK," said the lady and soon a nurse showed up and was about to take Ignite out of Ebony's arms when Ebony hissed, " Not on your life." The nurse nodded and Ebony followed her.
" What happened?" asked the nurse. " My older brother tried to shoot me and he stepped in the way of the bullet," said Ebony as she laid Ignite down on the bed. " And your brother would be.....," said the nurse trailing off. " De Wraith Lyre," said Ebony. " So your Ebony Shadow Lyre," said the nurse. " No I'm Ebony Shadow Harp and that's Ignite my little brother," says Ebony and the nurse nods. " We'll get him better, but I'm worried it may have done some permanent damage to his arm," says the nurse.
It had hit the main artery in Ignite's arm and Ebony just couldn't stop the bleeding. " I was afraid of that, but don't worry I'll take care of him," says Ebony and Ignite opens his eyes weakly. " What happened?" asks Ignite. " De tried to kill me and you stepped in the way of the shot," says Ebony as a doctor walks in. " Dr. Remora!" shouts Ebony as she looks at the young female doctor. " Hello Ebony," says Dr. Remora to the 13 year old and looks at Ignite. " De I take it," says Dr. Remora and Ebony nods.
The oldest of the Lyre's had always been the cause for the younger kids to end up in the hospital. When Ebony was 6 he had broken her arm and when she was 4 he had almost killed her when he got hold of his dads gun. " What did he do this time?" asks Dr. Remora as the nurse leaves to get a blood bag cause Ignite needed a transfusion. " Gun," says Ebony as the nurse returns and hooks Ignite up to the bag and Dr. Remora stitches the wound closed. After Ignite had been shot he had fallen on a sharp piece of metal in the hanger which made a 5 inch long very deep cut in his arm.
" So where's De now?" asks Dr. Remora. " No clue," says Ebony and growls. " I swear he's worse then an army of assassins," says Dr. Remora and Ebony smirks. " Well actually I practically destroyed his zoid in the process of getting here," says Ebony. " How did you do that?" asks Dr. Remora.
" I don't know cause I wasn't the one piloting," says Ebony. " Oh Freelance," says Dr. Remora and Ebony nods. " I, owe my life to her many times over," says Ebony as she winches. " Ok and what happened to you?" asks Dr. Remora and Ebony sighs and holds her arm out to Dr. Remora and points to her shoulder. " I think it's out of wack," says Ebony in other words saying she pulled it out of its socket. " Then how were you able to carry Ignite?" asks Dr. Remora. " Very carefully and with a little Harp ingenuity," says Ebony and unclip's a clip under her sleeve and carefully removes a hollow metal case and then slips off her shirt with her tank-top on underneath and removes a metal guard from around her upper body.
" That's mostly what kept me safe," says Ebony. Dr. Remora smiles and looks at Ebony. " I take it Ignite had armor on just it wasn't on his arms," says Dr. Remora and Ebony nods. " Yes it covers him from his shoulders to his waist, but it only goes down to about an inch bellow his shoulders and fate had it that it hit right below where the armor stopped and then right on his wrist," says Ebony. " Oh it's twice," says Dr. Remora and Ebony nods. " Yes, twice and thanks for not turning me in," says Ebony, but Dr. Remora smiles. " I can't turn you in I'm your sworn guardian," says Dr. Remora and Ebony nods and looks at Ignite who was asleep with about 10 stitches and some new blood he would be up and running around soon.
" Your moms armor," says Dr. Remora an hour later as she study's the armor. " Yes, a bit changed and welded to fit my form, but yes," says Ebony as she sits in the room. " So are you ready to get your arm back in place?" asks Dr. Remora and Ebony nods. " I'm not going to go slow," says Dr. Remora and quickly and expertly pops the arm back into place gaining a scream from Ebony and a whimper after words.
" Sorry," says Dr. Remora and Ebony nods and replaces her armor. " Is everything alright in here I heard a scream," asks someone and when the person walks in Ebony almost faints.
" Ebony is that you?" asks the person and Ebony nods. " Uh Ebony who is that?" asks Dr. Remora.
" Dr. Remora this is my dear friend Gabriel," says Ebony as a boy who stands about 5 foot 5 inches walks in and smiles. He has blond and blue hair with green eyes and was dressed in blue paints and a white t-shirt. " Yes, it's me Gabriel what are you doing back here?" asks Ebony. " I could ask you the same question," says Gabriel as he hugs her. " Careful the reason I was screaming was because Doc here had to pop my arm back into it's socket," says Ebony and Gabriel nods. He was 15 two years older then Ebony, but still they were good friends.
" So how have you been these past 5 years?" asks Gabriel. " OK except for the occasional run in with Ivory or the Imperial Army," says Ebony. " Hey Gabriel," says Ignite as he blinks making sure he knew who he saw. " Hey champ I'm surprised you remember me," says Gabriel as he walks over and smiles. " Of course I do, I don't have a short memory span like Ebony's," says Ignite and Ebony looks at him. " Is that so," says Gabriel and playfully tousles Ignites hair. " I don't think I'd be brave enough to say that about your sister," says Gabriel and Ebony smirks.
" Hey I'm not that dangerous," says Ebony, but looks at Gabriel. " What type of zoid do you have now?" asks Ebony.
" Uh, last time I checked I was still piloting a Command Wolf," says Gabriel. " I've got an AI zoid named Lee and some others including his green Command Wolf Aga whose parked outside," says Ebony. " Yes, Ebony gave me a zoid," says Ignite as his eyes shine. " Actually I gave you three zoids and their all green," says Ebony. " Oh yes I got Aga, Bay, and Kero Wind," says Ignite. " OK and what are they?" asks Gabriel. " A Command Wolf, a Hellcat, and a Storm Sworder," says Ignite and Ebony nods. " Yes and don't forget your organoid," says Ebony and Ignite nods. " Yes, Aga almost decapitated De tho I don't know what decapitated means," says Ignite. Gabriel and Dr. Remora turn to Ebony and she just raises her shoulders.
" I wasn't thinking right," says Ebony. " Ignite Aga didn't almost decapitate De he almost dismembered him," says Ebony. " Oh you mean he got this close (holds hands about a foot or 2 apart) to cutting foot off," says Ignite. They all nod and Ignite smiled. " Ok then what does decapitate mean?" asks Ignite and Ebony sighs.
" It means to have ones head cut off ones shoulders," says Gabriel flatly and Ignite looks at him impishly. " OK so the word of the day is decapitate," says Ignite and nods off to sleep. " Um Ebony you really should teach him better words," says Dr. Remora. " Well at least he didn't ask something even worse like what he asked me about a week ago," says Ebony. " What did he ask you?" asks Gabriel. " You don't want to know," says Ebony. " Oh," says Dr. Remora and Gabriel blushing and Ebony nods. " Nice and did you explain it to him?" asks Dr. Remora. " What are you nuts I told him to ask Aga," says Ebony. " So does he know now?" asks Gabriel.
" Yes, but luckily I didn't program Aga to know those things," says Ebony. " So did he ever find out?" asks Gabriel.
" He looked in the encyclopedia and found out," says Ebony.
" Oh and what did he say?" asks Dr. Remora. " Oh and yuck and something to the point that he would never do that," says Ebony. " Well in about 5 or 6 years he'll be feeling different," says Gabriel and Ebony sighs. " Nice all I need a hormone crazed Ignite," says Ebony and finally looks at them. " Let's forget this conversation ever happened," said Gabriel and ever else nodded.
So what were they talking about. I can just imagine Ignite asking that and Ebony saying to ask Aga and Ignite reading in the encyclopedia and saying those things can't you.
Well read and review and I hope you liked it.
