Max rushed to the hotel room door as someone knocked once, only once. In front of him stood a dripping Tala who's hair had fallen to just past his shoulders and his bangs were falling into his eyes.
Max smiled. Tala's changed so much, to be willing to play hero...
"What are you looking at?" spat Tala.
Okay, maybe not.
"N-nothing. Come on, he's right this way..." Max led the redhead to the bed which Hilary still knelt beside. Tala took notice of her hand clutching his wrist. "Come on, Spitfire..." "You knows that urging isn't going to do anything?" It was more of a fact than question. Hilary closed her eyes and bowed her head. She heard Tala step lightly towards the bed. He threw his jacket near Spitfire's legs and walked to stand by the other humanoid's side, across from Hilary.
"Do you have a cell phone charger?" asked Tala. Max was startled by the question. "Yes, why?" Tala rolled his eyes. "Don't question me. Now go get it." Max nodded and quickly walked out the room and into the kitchen to see Ray pouring a dark liquid into a mug. "Tala's here?" asked the neko-jin. Max nodded while walking towards the refrigerator. He stopped on the side of it and unplugged the thin black wire in the outlet beside the large white container. He then walked back to the bed, handing the charger to Tala while sending him a questioning look.
Tala crossed his arms so his left hand grasped the right side of his shirt, and his right hand held the left side. His lifted his shirt above his head and Hilary blushed slightly when she saw his fit torso.
"You," he said, looking at Max. "Come here." Max obeyed and began walking towards the older teen. "See this?" asked said teen, holding up the small metal part of the charger that went into the phone. Max nodded. Tala turned around so his back faced Max and the blonde gasped. Their were countless scars on the pale skin, and between his shoulder blades were nine small holes lined with metal. "Plug it into the top right hole." Max, fingers shaking, took the wire and inserted the metal into the hole. Tala then lifted Spitfire into a sitting position and removed the other's shirt. He had holes in his back indentical to Tala's. The blue-eyed teen took the side of the wire where you'd usually plug it in, and lifted the back of Spitfire's hair by his neck to reveal what looked like an outlet. Tala shoved the metal into the holes and gasped before falling back onto the soft carpet with a thud.
Max knelt beside him and his blue orbs widened when he saw Tala's eye were widened open the glistened over and dull, not moving at all. His chest rose and fell as he breathed, but that was the only sign he was still living.
"What's he doing?" asked Hilary. Max didn't answer, for he was thinking the same thing.
thnku4thevenom: Hehe, Tala's getting charged. Get it? It's a cell phone charger and he plugged it...
Tala: -- You're not funny.
thnku4thevenom: (grins) Ehhehe, yea, whatever, REVIEW!
