"So what do we do now genius?"
She kicked the tire of the totaled car and turned to Kadaj, who was supervising Yazoo and Loz. Yazoo had crawled back into the car partway and was throwing things up at Loz, who looked rather unhappy. She was kind of worried for their mental health, as they all acted as if this were nothing.
"Are you saying this is my fault?" Kadaj inquired defensively.
"I'm saying it would have been nice, like maybe three months ago, to know you have a fiery red head after you!"
"Yes, because everything is that easy," Kadaj stalked off, she glared.
She kicked a rock and leaned against the car, if Kadaj wanted to throw a fit, then so could she. And what the hell was the "Goddess's Gift' that Kadaj so unfortunately appears to be stuck with? Slowly things stop being chucked at Loz, and she waited for Yazoo to stand back up. He did so, shaking his head when he received a glare from Loz. She heard him mumble something about Yazoo's aim, which got him hit.
"Don't be mad with Kadaj," Yazoo joined her, leaning against the car. "It's not his fault."
"Oh?" She retorted angrily. "Then whose fault might it be?"
"Not Kadaj's," Yazoo shrugged, Loz leaning himself beside them. "No one really knows what's going on."
"Except that there is a strong chance Kadaj will—"
"Loz, don't scare her," She jumped from the sound of Kadaj's voice, he grinned in response. "Found a car."
She glanced to Loz, whatever it was; she would have to find out later. They dragged their stuff to the newly obtained vehicle. Sure it wasn't the most legal method of obtaining a ride, but it worked. She and Kadaj dragged behind the brothers.
"Amalia?" The tone of his voice shook her slightly, he sounded worried, which should worry anyone. "Are you sure you want to stay?"
"Why wouldn't I?" He laughed, she frowned.
"Normally people won't stick around upon discovering inevitable doom."
"Inevitable? Guess I'm unusual," She paused. "Do you want me to go?"
"…"
She bit her lip, and stared ahead, trying to drown out the silence. Yazoo and Loz waited impatiently for them, calling them slow. Her heart finally gave out and sunk whenever she situated herself in the front seat, if Kadaj didn't want her, then she shouldn't be sticking around. She put her legs up on the dash, first stop they made she would leave then. No more problems for Kadaj. She stole a glance at him, wishing she didn't as he tried to ignore her stare. The sinking feeling progressed to her stomach. What would she do without them? They were all she had anymore.
Those stupid jerks, all because she wouldn't sleep with them they abandoned her in some nowhere place. She kicked the gravel and glanced around, a gas station. She was sure to find someone to help her out there. If they could over look her ruffed up hair and sorry looking self.
They all turned her down, one by one. The only ones who didn't look appalled by her state were the silver haired trio keeping to themselves. She flinched, grateful for the uncaring expressions on their face, unfortunately she would have to try. If only they didn't look so intimidating…
"You look a little beat up there," The long haired one mentioned offhandedly.
"Thanks for noticing," She rolled her eyes, causing an amused look to cross his face. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing," The amusement still dancing across his face.
"Yeah, yeah, go ahead! Laugh at me," She threw up her hands in defeat. "Laugh at a girl abandoned by her so called friends. Ha-ha how funny."
"I wasn't laughing."
"Whatever," She heard the other two behind her.
One moved straight for the driver's seat, while the other began an argument over who would be sitting where. The one already in the car interested her; in fact they all did, being as different as they were. But the one driving, he was pretty, and mysterious. And she always enjoyed those qualities.
"Can I get a ride into town?" She blurted out, quickly covering her mouth and receiving confused looks from the three.
"From…us?"
"Yeah, whatever," The one in the driver's seat answered her, she was sure she was as shocked as his er—brothers?
"Er, thanks!" She quickly turned to the other two. "Here, let me solve this problem you're having."
She moved around the vehicle and dropped into the passenger side. The two pouted but slid into the back without putting up a fight.
"Kadaj?" He glanced over quickly. "Why'd you let me come?"
"Because they out voted me," He said flatly, pointing to the backseat.
"I mean, the first time?" He seemed to think about it, but only shrugged.
She nodded slightly, oh. She turned and stared out of her window, watching the highway blur by, not bothering to tell Kadaj to drive faster.
