~Chapter 14~
'NO DON'T GIVE HIM THAT SATISFATION ROSS" said voice in my head. We got in to a full fledge fight and I knew I was in it for the long run.
'Damnit'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hiei darted, in out of view; everything around Ross seemed to be spinning.
She focused and caught site of him, dodging a blow, she locked her blade with his making it unmovable.
"Why did you help me?" he asked as she gave him a cold glare, letting his blade slip out of her grip in the process, she flipped backwards into a fighting stance ,both her hands were tied with dirty bandages, and her face seemed to be dirty, cause of the dust kicked up form the fight.
"What don't have the courage to speak?" asked Hiei, she gritted her teeth and growled plunging at him, but he dodged it and caught her by the throat.
She gulped under the pressure of the blade, and looked at him with a stare he had never seen before, fear.
"Answer me" said Hiei angrily, he watched as she just lifted her chin from the point of his katana, he let his blade down and shielded it.
"Pathetic" he said turning his back to her.
'If im so pathetic than why did I save you?" said a cold chilling voice telepathically to him.
He turned with curiosity, "Then why did you?" he asked her as she moved over to the creek her blade was gone now and she placed the pendant around her neck, brushing her messy hair out of her face, she began to braid it back ,as she sat on the brook's shore, she angled herself and gave out a grunt from the pain as she sat down on the cool, smooth rocks.
'Not even you deserve that' she said turning around to face him, her face cold and emotionless.
"Why don't you speak?" he asked as he walked closer to her.
'The silence keeps me sane' said a cold dark voice in his head, sending chills down his spine.
~ Hiei's POV~
I look at her, she looks as if she's been through hell and back, her face is full of bruises and scraps, she looks as if she been through a meat grinder. Her eyes are blackened and her knee is in bad need of repair. She doesn't speak and the telepathic voice I hear sounds cold and distant like a wondering banshee.
'Why doesn't she speak, it keeps her sane? What does she mean by that?' I wonder as I watch her beaten hands weave her mangled hair into a braid, obviously it had not been kept in weeks, her clothing are caked with sludge and grime, torn to shreds and bound back together by tattered rags
She looks, different older, like she aged 50 years in the last 5-6 months, she looks unrecognizable from before, her pale face blotched black and blue, I can't even tell where one bruise starts and another begins, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw white in her golden locks, thought they are a manure brown now from the brook and dirt from the brawl, I wonder if I should ask what has happened but then protest myself out of it.
~ End of Hiei's POV~
Hiei watched her as she tied her hair off, She stood whimpering from the pain she endured standing, she looked into the water and placed a hand on her dirty cheek.
'I can't even recognize myself, I haven't seen my reflection since I left' she said surprising Hiei as he looked in the brook's water back at her.
"I thought you were afraid of water,and if so why were you in it when I discovered you?" said Hiei she sighed.
'I am, but in this camp you grow up fast and don't have time for fears' said the same bone chilling voice from before.
She moved to the faced him and stared lingering on his eyes, he watched her gray orbs with fascination as she closed them and raised her face to the now blue sky.
'I haven't spoken in months, ever since' she stopped her telepathic message and looked the other way; sniffing but she didn't drop a tear.
' Well anyways, sorry if my presence startles you, I don't know why im telling you this, maybe its because I haven't spoken to anyone sane since they closed those wire gates' she said squinting her eyes shut and turning to face him again.
' Im not going to burden you with my sad damsel in distress story, all I have to say now is stay away from me, or your going to be in danger and will suffer the consequences' she said giving his a knowing stare, which surprised him.
'I don't want sympathy' she said taking him back a few paces.
'I want revenge' she said furiously in his head, making him look at her in disbelief, she turned her back to him again.
'This is only the beginning and the worst is yet to come' she said, he just about fell on his head.
"The worst, what could be worse than your condition now, from the looks of it you'll have infection soon" said Hiei taking Ross by surprise, 'why would he care?' she thought to herself, but kept her back to him.
'It's only time till they find me' She said, and right on cue howling echoed through the eerie atmosphere.
'I'll pay for what I've done' she said turning to facing him now.
'I don't want you to tell anyone you've seen me you understand?" she said shocking him.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because if you do you'll be putting yours and the people you tell lives in danger' she said in a knowing voice.
"What by a bunch of humans" he added with a laugh she lowered her head.
"These aren't humans" she said taking him back.
"What, then I can kill them" he said taking out his katana.
'No, you can't they take the form of a humans therefore you will still be persecuted' She said, in a cold voice.
He nodded.
She turned to leave.
'And remember. what you promised' she added as she left through the brush.
~ HIEI POV~
I watched the beaten rebel leave through the brush.
'What does she mean my 'what I promised?" does she mean that promise she made the detective make about not helping her?' I thought as I heard the dogs come closer.
I jumped into a near by tree and watched her walk into hiding.
'Like I would help her even if she asked' I thought as I watched a group of guards come into view.
' thought then again, she did save me from those mutants, no what am I saying I would've been fine if she hadn't but then again look at her, ok alright, alright she helped me she didn't have to. maybe she does deserve a little respect.' I contemplated as I watched a man with a club come into the clearing she was hiding near.
~End of HIEI'S POV~
Hiei sat in a tree observing the scene.
"Oh Rossy sweetie come out come out where ever you are" said the tall man hitting the club against his hand, she stayed out of view breathing lightly.
"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH, GE YOU SCRAWNY ASS OUT HERE!" He yelled furiously. Hitting a tree with the club it broke under the force, Ross breathed harder.
"ALRIGHT, alright fine we'll just see how your little friends like Camp Marshall, I killed one I can kill another one or maybe two or three for that matter" He said as Ross came out of hiding.
The guards grabbed her roughly and Marshall kicked her hard in the stomach, making it so that only the guards support kept her up.
"I knew that would get you, NO ONE ESCAPES CAMP MARSHALL" he yelled as the guards dragged her while they followed obviously the ring leader.
Hiei looked in disbelief, 'she could take him' he thought as they moved out of view, 'But then again she volunteered herself back into misery to protect us' he thought as he leapt to the ground and stared at the once occupied clearing.
"And for that you've gained my respect girl" he said out loud to himself as he turned to leave and then looked back. 'Birthdays are for suckers' he thought finally as he disappeared into the dense forest.
