CC Q.O.D: Now, On with the fic!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The hospital room had been in an eerie silence for the past five minutes, no one knowing what to say. Not even Enrique. Suddenly Ray spoke up.
"Kai, I want you to do something for me." Everyone turned to look at Kai, and Kai looked up from where he stood in the corner, his arms folded over his chest.
"Sure Ray, what?" Kai asked, wondering that Ray might want.
"I want you to get payback on those fucking Dark Raiders. I want you to teach them a lesson." Ray muttered darkly, before coughing.
"We will, Ray, have no fuckin worries about that." Tala spoke up, and Kai looked at him and nodded. 'He's becoming quite the second man; Ray will have to watch out' Kai thought to himself smirking.
"I have an idea," Mariah said, pure malicious in her voice, "and it'll teach all those Dark Raiders to watch their backs."
Faith, Aeris and Keli finally found Bryan hanging out with the other Dark Raiders at Bryan's garage, drinking beers and smoking. Just like they usually did.
"Keli? When the fuck did you get back?" Johnny asked, getting up from a car he was sitting on to approach his old friend.
"Two nights ago, my dad and I are here for three months. I would have come out on the first night, but I had to unpack and shit." Keli replied, flashing one of his famous grins, the one that makes the 'popular' girls melt and giggle.
"Yea, well thanks for being at the fight man, if it wasn't for you, I'd be in that hospital instead of Kon." Bryan said, extending his hand, and Keli took it, leaning in and clasping Bryan on the back. "Can you imagine Kon's nerve? Sneaking up on me? Who the fuck did he think he was?" Bryan spat, tossing his bottle away, sending it smashing into hundreds of small green shards.
"Yea, what kind of 'man' would sneak up on someone? That's just weak." Aeris stated, folding her arms over her chest and leaning against the car.
"Where were you two anyway?" Bryan asked the girls, taking a long drag on his cigarette. Aeris paled slightly, but it went unnoticed by everyone except Faith and Keli.
"We were at my place, the bitch was pissin' me off so we went out and just hung out basically." Faith replied easily, grabbing a beer and hopping onto the cars bonnet beside Bryan. Michael made a noise and all the guys snickered.
"Something funny?" Faith asked, her voice challenging anyone to start something. The boys all shook their heads or looked away, still letting out small snickers. "That's what I thought. So Aeris, are we still on for your place tonight? Mom's been on a bender and I don't wanna have to get another set of bottles thrown at me."
"You could always stay at my place." Bryan offered, flipping his cigarette away. Keli rolled his eyes. When would Bryan get the hint? Faith.was.not.interested.
"Nah, Bryan, it's cool, my mom said she could crash. You just have to wake up in the morning." Aeris said, noting the look Faith gave her. She also noted the sigh of relief that escaped her cousins lips.
"Cool, I'll get my stuff then come over and we'll all hang, say 7ish?" Faith asked, and everyone agreed, "See ya then" with that Faith hopped off the bonnet gave Aeris a hug and started walking down the street, finishing her beer.
What no one noticed was the Blue Jaguar driving past, or the four occupants watching the navy haired girl.
Faith walked down the street, not really watching herself as she usually did, some of the alcohol settling in her brain. She was so fucking shocked and pissed, how dare Bryan? How dare he think she would ever sleep at his place? She angrily threw her bottle away, as well as her smoke, but soon she regretted throwing the bottle away as she saw a Blue Jag pulling up beside her.
"Shit" she muttered "just what I fucking need." Faith muttered as she kept walking.
"Hey Roskov," she heard one of them shout, she ignored him, she knew that Hiwatari, Ivanov, Chan and Pejanovic were behind her, now out of the car, and watching her, following her along the street.
Chan and Pejanovic would be no trouble to her, they were weak, she could barely handle Kai though, and now in her state, she would never be able to hold her own. She didn't know the strength of the red head, but she guessed he was tough. She would be in trouble if they decided to fight her, and from what happened to Kon, she guessed that's what they had in mind.
"Awe, are you going to ignore us?" she heard Kai jeer. She continued to ignore them and quickened her pace when she heard them quicken theirs. Suddenly the Shadow Strikers broke into a run, and Faith attempted the same, but they had already caught up with her. Suddenly she realised she was surrounded, one on each side of her. But was she going to take this beating without some resistance? Hell no.
She turned to face Mariah, who was on her left and shoulder tackled her to the ground, and sprinted. Enrique stopped to help Mariah up but Tala and Kai followed Faith. 'She must pay.' Kais mind shouted at him, making him run faster.
Or he did run faster, until he fell over a trashcan, which Tala had jumped over when Faith had aimed it at him. "Bitch!" Kai roared, picking himself up, the sound echoing through the dark ally. Kai smirked, she was trapped.
Faith turned and noticed Kai was no longer following her, but the red head was. "Damn you're a persistent little lackey aren't you?" she yelled back, making sure to watch where she was going.
"Save your breath for running Roskov!" was the reply she got, and she suddenly realised he was catching up.
Faith heard the yell behind her and had a quick look, Kai was standing up and had yelled bitch at her, and when she saw the rage in his eyes it made her run faster.
She almost sighed when she saw the wall up ahead of her, and as gracefully as a drunken person could, she jumped over it, only to find something that made her say shit.
The rest of the Shadow Strikers were over there waiting for her, and she realised it had been a trap. Suddenly Tala hopped over the wall and landed right beside her, smirking and panting.
Faith stood firm and tall, she had been caught, but she would not lose her pride. Not only hers, but the Dark Raiders as well. "Didn't think you could honestly get away now did you Roskov?" Tala sneered, leering at her.
"I did, but I was obviously wrong, since you had to have people over here too." She spat back, giving icy looks to the red head. She loathed him already.
"Yea, well, you're caught, and you're coming with us." Kai shouted, and then he also jumped over the wall, landing gracefully.
"And what if I refuse?" Faith sneered. Every one of the Dark Raiders smirked as Tala pulled out a gun. Faith spun to Tala but was too late as the gun connected with her head and she fell into unconsciousness.
Tala smirked as her eyes closed and she fell to the ground. That was easier than he had thought. "Kai, you're bleeding." Ian said as he looked at Kai, a trickle of blood running down his split lip. Kai wiped it away impatiently.
"The bitch threw a trashcan at us." He replied shortly and Tala almost laughed. Kai hadn't wanted them to know he fell, and Tala wouldn't tell. Yet. Ian nodded and Enrique spoke up.
"So what are we gonna do with her? Where we gonna take her?" he asked, rubbing his forehead then wiping his right glove on his pants.
"We're gonna take her to Midnight." Kai replied. "So they can find her, and fear what we can do to them." Tala frowned; he hadn't heard this part of the plan.
"Ain't that a little suspicious? Six Shadow Strikers in Raider territory?" he picked Faith up and waited on Kais reply, but it was a grunt which meant no arguments, she's going to the Dark Raiders club. Kai turned around and walked over to his car. "There are only five seats, and the whore will need the back, so we bring three people. I'm going." Kai stated, opening his car door.
"I'm going!" Mariah yelled and jumped in the passenger's side. Kai gave her a look and sighed, then turned to Tala. "You're coming too right Tala?" he asked and Tala nodded getting into the back with Faith, resting her head on his lap and closing the door.
"We're ready." And the car drove off to Midnight.
Aeris called Faith to tell her that she and her mom were going out and she should come early, when her mother answered on the other end.
"Who the fuck is it?" Jemmas voice screeched, Aeris guessed she just woke up from a drink related nap
"Is Faith there?"
"No, she's not came home yet, who the fuck is it?" she asked again, wanting to know who was calling.
"It's Aeris, your niece." Aeris felt weird saying that, but she had to lest her aunt start bitching at her for that.
"Ah Aeris, how is your mother? Send her my love won't you?" Jemma replied. Aeris rolled her eyes at her aunt but then remembered what she had said about Faith.
"I will, but what do you mean Faith hasn't been home yet? I saw her about half an hour ago."
"Like I said, it isn't home yet and hasn't been." Jemma snapped. Aeris was worried, worried for her cousins safety and whoever has her. Bryan's gonna flip when he finds out.
"Thanks Aunt Jem, I'll talk to ya later! Bye!" and Aeris hung up the phone and bolted out the door.
"Wake up!" a voice shouted and Faith blearily opened her eyes. She saw Mariah standing above her, smirking, Hiwatari sat on a stool behind Mariah and Tala leaning against a wall with his eyes closed. She groaned to herself. 'Why does this always happen to me?!' her mind screamed.
"It's about time you woke up Roskov, Mariah's been shouting for over half an hour and giving me a damn headache." Kai said, getting off the stool and strutting over. He looked down at Faith and in the blink of an eye, kicked her hard in the side.
Faith rolled over onto her back and groaned, that hurt God damnit! Suddenly she felt a pain in her side as another blow was sent into her side, although this time it wasn't a boot, it was a dress shoe.
Mariah giggled as she kicked at Faith. She wasn't as fast as everyone said.
Faith waited what was to happen next, and as guessed Mariah tried to kick her again, but she grabbed Mariah's leg and twisted before pulling her down to the floor and punching her a few times, before she felt a blow to her head, causing her to roll off from a crying Mariah.
"She hurt me! KAI! She twisted my ankle! KAIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mariah screamed, and a small chuckle was heard from behind them. Tala walked away from the wall and stood above Faith.
"Be a man Mariah, suck it up." Kai chuckled at this too but Mariah just humped and tried to stand up, but when she did she fell backwards, and her pink skirt flew up too, giving everyone a view of her pants. Faith clenched her eyes shut. That was more disturbing than the thought of being raped by Kai. 'Oh my god........' the thought suddenly came to Faith. 'Is that what I'm here for?! To be raped by Hiwatari and Ivanov?!'
"What the fuck do you two assholes want with me?" Faith asked, her voice wavering slightly. They were both smirking and Mariah was grinning, despite the pain in her ankle.
"We want revenge," Kai answered "and since kicking the shit outta Bryan would do us no good, we decided to kick the shit outta you instead."
"So who's gonna beat her up first?" Mariah squealed clapping her hands.
"Me." Kai said, before kicking Faith in the side. Faith gasped in pain and rolled over onto her stomach. Kai proceeded to kick her until he heard the third snap. He smirked and lifted her face to meet his. Faiths eyes were clenched shut, her face was contorted in pain and she had clenched her teeth shut so she wouldn't cry out.
"Did that hurt, bitch? I hope it did...Tala pick her up." Tala moved behind Faith and picked her body up, and to his surprise, he got little resistance. He grabbed Faith under the arms and put her in a half nelson so her midriff and torso were clear and also so she couldn't defend herself.
The first blow hit her face, the second was aimed at her side and as soon as Kais fist hit, another crack was heard. He punched Faith for what seemed an eternity to her, and after he stopped Tala let her go and she fell to the floor. Kai stood up from the stage and turned to Tala.
"Tala, go in the bathroom and have your fun with her."
Aeris ran down the street as fast as her legs could carry her, she hoped that Bryan was still at his garage. Tears started to sting the back of Aeris' eyes. If anything happened to Faith she didn't know what she'd do. She stopped when she reached Bryan house but saw they weren't in the garage. She began banging on the door with all her strength and almost punched Johnny as he answered the door.
"Watch it Aeris! Fuck you almost hit me!" He shouted he then looked around. "Where's Faith?"
"Faith's been kidnapped or something!!" Aeris screamed at Johnny causing everyone in Bryan's house to run to the door.
"What?!" Bryan yelled. "What do you mean she's been kidnapped?"
"I called her mom; she said she hasn't been home since this morning!" Aeris sobbed as she fell to her knees. Keli turned to Aeris and hugged her.
"Don't worry, she probably just couldn't be bothered going home and went to Midnight or something. C'mon you stay here and we'll go check out Midnight alright?" Aeris nodded and Spencer took her inside saying they'd stay here.
"So where we gonna look?" Keli asked.
"We'll check out your idea, we'll go check Midnight."
"There's one thing guys." All eyes turned to Keli. "What I told Aeris, I don't think Faith went willingly. We better take some weapons. Just in case." All nodded and got into Bryans car. They were ready for a fight.
Faith was slammed into the bathroom wall and Tala followed up quickly and started choking her with his forearm. Just as Faith felt herself begin to go light headed she felt oxygen soothing her burning lungs.
She glared at Tala who was smirking. "Having fun?" he asked. He got spat on in reply. "Bitch" he muttered wiping the spit from his cheek before pulling out a switchblade and holding it to her throat. "Looks like the tables have turned. This time I have you trapped. But unluckily, you have nothing to change my mind."
Faith knew she was in big trouble now. She had to stall. "Yea, well, I'm pretty sure even if I hadn't almost slit your throat you would still have tried to slit mine." He smirked.
"Probably."
"Why did you turn up at my house anyway?" she had wanted to ask him, and now since she was wasting time, so why not? Talas smirk fell and was promptly replaced with a frown.
"I felt sorry for you two, so I went to apologise."
"We don't need your fucking pity Ivanov, we lasted sixteen years without it, and we don't need it now." Faith looked down, eyes scanning the floor for something. If she could get out of his grip, she could grab it, hit this idiot with it, and get out without Hiwatari noticing for at least ten minutes. Her eyes ran across a pipe, lying in the far corner of the room. How to get it?
Tala was getting slightly annoyed by the guilt he felt. He grabbed her face and made her look him in the eyes. "How the fuck was I--" he was cut off when Faith's lips pressed against his own roughly. Tala released the grip he had on her face and placed his hands on her hips as he deepened the kiss.
Faith began pushing him backwards onto the opposite wall, and as Tala opened his eyes, he saw a pipe lying next to his feet. With his left foot he kicked it to the far side of the room, and spun around pushing Faiths back into the wall, and began kissing her neck. Faiths eyes looked beside her, to where the pipe should be lying, to notice it was gone. 'Oh, shit!' she thought. Faith flinched as Tala bit her neck and she stood very still. There was no way to get out of this one.
A sudden crash from the front alerted her that something had happened, and she tried to remove his head from the crook of her neck. Tala felt something pull at his hair, and before he realised anything, the door to the room he was in swung open, the enraged figure of Bryan standing there, gun in his hand aimed at Mariah's head, and grunting being heard from the next room.
"Let her go now." Bryan growled, pushing the gun harder onto Mariah's skull. She whimpered in pain and fear. Tala relented and let go of Faith who ran over beside Bryan and stood by his side. Bryan smirked at Tala, before wrapping an arm around Faith's waste. He quickly replaced the smirk with a concerned frown. "You ok?" he whispered, but made it loud enough for Tala to hear.
Tala didn't know why, but he was getting angrier by the second. He shook his head, and with another whimper, he remembered Mariah. "Now let her go." Bryan shook his head, the smirk returning.
"Not until we get outside Ivanov." Bryan turned to the Dark Raiders; Michael and Johnny were holding Kai up, while Keli was punching Kai all over. Kai hardly made a sound. Bryan grabbed Faiths hand and pulled her outside, Michael and Johnny dropping Kai, and Bryan throwing Mariah on top of him. They ran outside and into Bryan's car, before starting up and pulling away. Kai walked to the door, and he wiped the blood that was getting into his eyes from the cut Kelis fist had made on his forehead. "It's begun. Get ready for a war."
It was the next morning and Faith sat dejectedly in Science thinking about what had happened last night. She kept her hand moving scribbling nonsense on the textbook below her, wondering why Ivanov had continued to kiss her if he knew about the pipe? And when she'd kissed him, she got a shock. Not like an electrical one, but a tingly feeling. She wasn't one who believed in romance and love at first sight, so could this be...lo-lo-lo...she couldn't even say it. She looked down, and gasped in horror. All over her textbook was the name 'Tala Ivanov' she tried to rub it out but realised it was written in pen. She groaned.
The clicking of shoes alerted her someone was approaching and she quickly slammed the textbook closed. She turned and met the brown eyes of Hilary. "What do you want?" she muttered, loathing the little suck-up.
"You do know its 8 am right?" she asked. Faith looked at the clock, then turned to Hilary and rolled her eyes.
"Yea, so what?"
"Well, usually you're always late and never alone, what happened" she stopped, turning to Kenny and Tyson, who had been following Hilary around for weeks. Her lips turned into a smirk." did you and the Dark Raiders have a fight?" she mocked. Faith felt her blood boil. She stood up, knocking over the wooden chair in her haste, the echo of the crash making everything turn silent. Hilary had jumped back, standing beside Tyson, who looked just as scared as she was.
"No, we didn't have a fight." She said through clenched teeth, her eyes glaring into Hilary's, she stepped closer, and she noticed Hilary began to shake. "But if you don't get out of my face, then there will be a fight...and then..." her arm shot forward and grabbed Hilary by the throat, then pulled her forward so there was only an inch separating the girls' faces. "...a murder investigation." She hissed, throwing Hilary to the floor, then turning around and sitting back down.
Faith noticed with dismay they hadn't left. "You're excused." Aeris' voice mocked as she stepped into the class. All three teens scurried away to their seats and began whispering. Aeris sat down beside Faith, and placed her bag on the floor. She turned to her cousin. "So...how you feeling?" Faith shrugged. She didn't want to talk about this right now.
"The same way you felt I guess." Aeris nodded and peered down at Faiths arms, which were wrapped around her textbook.
"Mind if I share your book cuz? I lost mine." She smiled innocently. Both knew she hadn't lost it; rather she had set it on fire and threw it at Kai's car as it was passing. Faith chuckled at the memory. She was about to say why not, but she then remembered the writing.
"Uh...no cuz, it's all...graffitied." Faith looked her cousin and noted the twinkle of humour in her eyes.
"That's not a problem." She replied laughing. Faith rolled her eyes and shook her head. Aeris nodded, not wanting to push her cousin. "After school, whatta wanna do?"
Faith jumped and dropped her book as a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, she almost screamed. She felt breath in her ear. "Did I scare you?" she growled.
"Michael" Bryans voice cut through the class and Michael let go of Faith, hands up in a defensive gesture. Bryan turned to Faith. "How you feeling?" Faith began growling again and it grew quickly louder.
"WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE KEEP ASKING ME THAT?! I AM FINE GOD DAMN IT! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed, and ran out the class. Aeris noticed her book lying on the floor, the first page open. She picked it up and looked. She gasped silently, but none of the Dark Raiders noticed as they were all stunned into silence. Written all over the page was 'Tala Ivanov' Aeris shook her head sadly.
'What have you gotten yourself into Faith?'

Faith clenched her eyes shut. That was more disturbing than the thought of being raped by Kai. 'Oh my god........' the thought suddenly came to Faith. 'Is that what I'm here for?! To be raped by Hiwatari and Ivanov?!'
"What the fuck do you two assholes want with me?" Faith asked, her voice wavering slightly. They were both smirking and Mariah was grinning, despite the pain in her ankle.
"We want revenge," Kai answered "and since kicking the shit outta Bryan would do us no good, we decided to kick the shit outta you instead."
"So who's gonna beat her up first?" Mariah squealed clapping her hands.
"Me." Kai said, before kicking Faith in the side. Faith gasped in pain and rolled over onto her stomach. Kai proceeded to kick her until he heard the third snap. He smirked and lifted her face to meet his. Faiths eyes were clenched shut, her face was contorted in pain and she had clenched her teeth shut so she wouldn't cry out.
"Did that hurt, bitch? I hope it did...Tala pick her up." Tala moved behind Faith and picked her body up, and to his surprise, he got little resistance. He grabbed Faith under the arms and put her in a half nelson so her midriff and torso were clear and also so she couldn't defend herself.
The first blow hit her face, the second was aimed at her side and as soon as Kais fist hit, another crack was heard. He punched Faith for what seemed an eternity to her, and after he stopped Tala let her go and she fell to the floor. Kai stood up from the stage and turned to Tala.
"Tala, go in the bathroom and have your fun with her."
Aeris ran down the street as fast as her legs could carry her, she hoped that Bryan was still at his garage. Tears started to sting the back of Aeris' eyes. If anything happened to Faith she didn't know what she'd do. She stopped when she reached Bryan house but saw they weren't in the garage. She began banging on the door with all her strength and almost punched Johnny as he answered the door.
"Watch it Aeris! Fuck you almost hit me!" He shouted he then looked around. "Where's Faith?"
"Faith's been kidnapped or something!!" Aeris screamed at Johnny causing everyone in Bryan's house to run to the door.
"What?!" Bryan yelled. "What do you mean she's been kidnapped?"
"I called her mom; she said she hasn't been home since this morning!" Aeris sobbed as she fell to her knees. Keli turned to Aeris and hugged her.
"Don't worry, she probably just couldn't be bothered going home and went to Midnight or something. C'mon you stay here and we'll go check out Midnight alright?" Aeris nodded and Spencer took her inside saying they'd stay here.
"So where we gonna look?" Keli asked.
"We'll check out your idea, we'll go check Midnight."
"There's one thing guys." All eyes turned to Keli. "What I told Aeris, I don't think Faith went willingly. We better take some weapons. Just in case." All nodded and got into Bryans car. They were ready for a fight.
Faith was slammed into the bathroom wall and Tala followed up quickly and started choking her with his forearm. Just as Faith felt herself begin to go light headed she felt oxygen soothing her burning lungs.
She glared at Tala who was smirking. "Having fun?" he asked. He got spat on in reply. "Bitch" he muttered wiping the spit from his cheek before pulling out a switchblade and holding it to her throat. "Looks like the tables have turned. This time I have you trapped. But unluckily, you have nothing to change my mind."
Faith knew she was in big trouble now. She had to stall. "Yea, well, I'm pretty sure even if I hadn't almost slit your throat you would still have tried to slit mine." He smirked.
"Probably."
"Why did you turn up at my house anyway?" she had wanted to ask him, and now since she was wasting time, so why not? Talas smirk fell and was promptly replaced with a frown.
"I felt sorry for you two, so I went to apologise."
"We don't need your fucking pity Ivanov, we lasted sixteen years without it, and we don't need it now." Faith looked down, eyes scanning the floor for something. If she could get out of his grip, she could grab it, hit this idiot with it, and get out without Hiwatari noticing for at least ten minutes. Her eyes ran across a pipe, lying in the far corner of the room. How to get it?
Tala was getting slightly annoyed by the guilt he felt. He grabbed her face and made her look him in the eyes. "How the fuck was I--" he was cut off when Faith's lips pressed against his own roughly. Tala released the grip he had on her face and placed his hands on her hips as he deepened the kiss.
Faith began pushing him backwards onto the opposite wall, and as Tala opened his eyes, he saw a pipe lying next to his feet. With his left foot he kicked it to the far side of the room, and spun around pushing Faiths back into the wall, and began kissing her neck. Faiths eyes looked beside her, to where the pipe should be lying, to notice it was gone. 'Oh, shit!' she thought. Faith flinched as Tala bit her neck and she stood very still. There was no way to get out of this one.
A sudden crash from the front alerted her that something had happened, and she tried to remove his head from the crook of her neck. Tala felt something pull at his hair, and before he realised anything, the door to the room he was in swung open, the enraged figure of Bryan standing there, gun in his hand aimed at Mariah's head, and grunting being heard from the next room.
"Let her go now." Bryan growled, pushing the gun harder onto Mariah's skull. She whimpered in pain and fear. Tala relented and let go of Faith who ran over beside Bryan and stood by his side. Bryan smirked at Tala, before wrapping an arm around Faith's waste. He quickly replaced the smirk with a concerned frown. "You ok?" he whispered, but made it loud enough for Tala to hear.
Tala didn't know why, but he was getting angrier by the second. He shook his head, and with another whimper, he remembered Mariah. "Now let her go." Bryan shook his head, the smirk returning.
"Not until we get outside Ivanov." Bryan turned to the Dark Raiders; Michael and Johnny were holding Kai up, while Keli was punching Kai all over. Kai hardly made a sound. Bryan grabbed Faiths hand and pulled her outside, Michael and Johnny dropping Kai, and Bryan throwing Mariah on top of him. They ran outside and into Bryan's car, before starting up and pulling away. Kai walked to the door, and he wiped the blood that was getting into his eyes from the cut Kelis fist had made on his forehead. "It's begun. Get ready for a war."
It was the next morning and Faith sat dejectedly in Science thinking about what had happened last night. She kept her hand moving scribbling nonsense on the textbook below her, wondering why Ivanov had continued to kiss her if he knew about the pipe? And when she'd kissed him, she got a shock. Not like an electrical one, but a tingly feeling. She wasn't one who believed in romance and love at first sight, so could this be...lo-lo-lo...she couldn't even say it. She looked down, and gasped in horror. All over her textbook was the name 'Tala Ivanov' she tried to rub it out but realised it was written in pen. She groaned.
The clicking of shoes alerted her someone was approaching and she quickly slammed the textbook closed. She turned and met the brown eyes of Hilary. "What do you want?" she muttered, loathing the little suck-up.
"You do know its 8 am right?" she asked. Faith looked at the clock, then turned to Hilary and rolled her eyes.
"Yea, so what?"
"Well, usually you're always late and never alone, what happened" she stopped, turning to Kenny and Tyson, who had been following Hilary around for weeks. Her lips turned into a smirk." did you and the Dark Raiders have a fight?" she mocked. Faith felt her blood boil. She stood up, knocking over the wooden chair in her haste, the echo of the crash making everything turn silent. Hilary had jumped back, standing beside Tyson, who looked just as scared as she was.
"No, we didn't have a fight." She said through clenched teeth, her eyes glaring into Hilary's, she stepped closer, and she noticed Hilary began to shake. "But if you don't get out of my face, then there will be a fight...and then..." her arm shot forward and grabbed Hilary by the throat, then pulled her forward so there was only an inch separating the girls' faces. "...a murder investigation." She hissed, throwing Hilary to the floor, then turning around and sitting back down.
Faith noticed with dismay they hadn't left. "You're excused." Aeris' voice mocked as she stepped into the class. All three teens scurried away to their seats and began whispering. Aeris sat down beside Faith, and placed her bag on the floor. She turned to her cousin. "So...how you feeling?" Faith shrugged. She didn't want to talk about this right now.
"The same way you felt I guess." Aeris nodded and peered down at Faiths arms, which were wrapped around her textbook.
"Mind if I share your book cuz? I lost mine." She smiled innocently. Both knew she hadn't lost it; rather she had set it on fire and threw it at Kai's car as it was passing. Faith chuckled at the memory. She was about to say why not, but she then remembered the writing.
"Uh...no cuz, it's all...graffitied." Faith looked her cousin and noted the twinkle of humour in her eyes.
"That's not a problem." She replied laughing. Faith rolled her eyes and shook her head. Aeris nodded, not wanting to push her cousin. "After school, whatta wanna do?"
Faith jumped and dropped her book as a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, she almost screamed. She felt breath in her ear. "Did I scare you?" she growled.
"Michael" Bryans voice cut through the class and Michael let go of Faith, hands up in a defensive gesture. Bryan turned to Faith. "How you feeling?" Faith began growling again and it grew quickly louder.
"WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE KEEP ASKING ME THAT?! I AM FINE GOD DAMN IT! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed, and ran out the class. Aeris noticed her book lying on the floor, the first page open. She picked it up and looked. She gasped silently, but none of the Dark Raiders noticed as they were all stunned into silence. Written all over the page was 'Tala Ivanov' Aeris shook her head sadly.
'What have you gotten yourself into Faith?'
