Rex woke to the sound of a soda bottle opening. He lazily opened one eye to look at the clock by his bedside. 1:23 AM it read. He groaned and flipped over in his bed. He heard the sound of someone swallowing soda and then the soda lid being put back on. He was about to go back to sleep when something heavy jumped on him. "Ahh!" He yelled out as he stood and pushed the form off him. "What the—"He saw Bobo smiling at him. "What the hell?" He finished. "Is there something you want?"
"No. In fact I shouldn't even do this."
"Do what?"
"Your girlfriend's at the front door of Providence."
"What?" Rex jumped out of bed and quickly put on his jeans, shirt and jacket and of course shoes.
"Yeah that's what I thought. I heard somethin' and decided to go after it myself. Led me to the front where she begged and pleaded me to get you."
Rex looked at the talking monkey and then at the soda in his hands. "She bribed you didn't she?"
Bobo's grin grew. "This isn't all she gave me. She also gave me 20 big ones."
Releasing a grunt he ran through the door and down the hall like hell itself was after him. He had just hopped that no one else had discovered that Circe waited just outside Providence's walls. A visualization of Knight passed through his mind. He shuddered and groaned. If he were to find out then hell isn't what Rex should worry about. He slowed as he reached the front. He caught his breath for a moment before opening the door. "Circe…" He panted out, still not having enough breath in him to speak.
Her eyes casted downwards. "I'm sorry Rex for coming here but…"
"Shh." He placed a finger to his lips. "Let's talk farther away from here." Rex's wheels formed from his legs. "Get on." He nudged his head back.
She took a breath and got behind him. This isn't the first time she rode behind him but this kid drives like a madman. Her arms automatically went around his waist. Rex didn't rev the engine like he usually does; instead he quietly rode out of providence's front yard. Once they were over the hill and out of sight Rex started to slow but Circe poked him in the rib causing a small jump from Rex. "Farther." He looked back to her to ask why but he decided not to. They rushed through the land and once they were meters away from the city's borders Circe poked him again, signalizing him to stop. The Rex Ride came to a smooth stop and Circe got off. Once she was off Rex reverted back to human. "Rex…" She looked away, not with embarrassment or anything like that but in guilt. Everything that happened the day before was all her fault and she hadn't expected Kleiss to do that to Elise, kidnap her yes, but not suck out most of her nanites. Circe looked at Rex then, her eyes sad. "How's… um… Your friend?"
Rex moved back by a little. The shock of her asking was really, well, shocking. He knows that Circe is a nice person but the question just… He sighed. "She's fine." Relief flooded her face and she closed her eyes. "Why do you ask?"
Circe looked at him. "I didn't know Van Kleiss was going to do that. Really I didn't."
"He did it the exact way he did it to me when we first met Circe. He has something planned for her and I want to know what."
"Why?" The question came out so suddenly and angrily… Was she jealous?
"She's my friend Circe and the Pack hurt her, of course I'm going to want to know why it happened in the first place."
Circe stared at him. "Why should I tell you anything that we have planned?"
Rex's eyes narrowed slightly. Just because Circe is his girlfriend does not mean that he can't afford a fight with her if he has to but he sure doesn't want to fight her. "Because Circe, I told you things and now you owe me some answers." He almost sounded like Six… Almost.
She took a deep breath in and sighed. "I wish I knew myself Rex. I-I think Kleiss knows."
"Knows what?"
"Knows that we're dating. I don't think he trusts me fully. They don't really tell me anything anymore."
Rex cursed. Both for the fact someone else may know of their relationship and for the insider has been cut off from all information. "Damn." He cursed again.
"I'm sorry Rex." Both hands simultaneously hit her thighs.
"No, no. You're all right." He turned around so that his back was to her. He took a deep breath in and released it. He then turned to face her. He placed his hands on her arms. "You're all right." He repeated.
"I know." She whispered to him. Their eyes started to close and they slowly leaned into each other. Her arms wrapped around his neck and his hands slipped from her arms down to her hips. Their lips touched and the two kissed each other passionately. One of his hands went up to the small of her back and he pushed her closer to him. In reaction she moaned into the kiss and ran a hand through his hair. It was then when his tongue pushed into her mouth and she released another moan. Their tongues battled for dominance inside her mouth before they suddenly started to fall. Circe moaned again, this time in shock and pain as he back and butt crash landed into the ground. He kissed her deeply and practically kept her pinned to the ground. A single thought ran through Circe's head and that was that Rex has never done this before. Rex's hand trailed up and went to the side of her boob. Deep inside her there was a bit of nervousness but it was washed out with a loud moan that interrupted their kiss when Rex's hand grasped her breast. He smiled down at her and she almost had lost it in the beauty of the picture before her. The moon just above his head and his smile, oh God his smile. He dipped down and kissed the crook of her neck. He trailed upwards to her lips and gave her one last passionate kiss, a big grin present in that kiss. He then removed his hands from her body and took one of her hands and pulled her up. She groaned in aggravation. "Oh come on." She said breathlessly.
He winked at her. "You'd better get home before you get in trouble." He told her huskily. She was about to argue when his mouth closed over hers. "You can find your way back home, can you?" Totally speechless she nodded. His smile never wavered as he kissed her once more. "Okay. Be safe please." The Rex Ride formed again. "I love you Circe."
"Love you too." She said when she found her voice. He nodded before riding off. She sighed heavily, completely at a loss at what just happened.
-*- Hours later -*-
Elise slammed her fist into the headboard of the bed. She yelled out and then screamed as she rolled off the bed and onto the floor. She groaned and yelled out once more in frustration. "God fucking damn it. Shit!" A long string of profanity continued to escape her as she got onto her feet. She sighed when she got onto her feet. She chuckled at herself and was about to walk to her bathroom when she got tripped by the comforter. She fell flat on her face. She pushed herself onto her elbows with a grunt. She flipped onto her back, her elbows still holding her up, and she glared at the bed. "God damn you into hell." She tried getting her feet out of the comforter but the pain in her wounds screamed at her. A growl came from her throat as she crab walked out of the damned comforter. She stood quickly once her feet were free ignoring the pain that shot through her legs. She shook her head at the bed and chuckled to herself once more. "If this was my room and you were really my bed- Oh! - I'd like to see you burn!" The bed said nothing and she patted the invisible dirt off her clothes. She walked towards the bathroom before she turned and cursed at the bed. "I'm not even gonna make you today! You stay like that! And there is no way I'm letting my OCD get me today! Ha!" A pillow that hung on the corner fell and Elise backed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. She then slapped herself in the face. "I cannot believe I let a bed get to me." She groaned and walked over to the shower where she turned the knob to the hottest it can be. "Hopefully a nice hot shower will help me relax." She let the water run for a while so it could get hot. Just as she was about to take off her clothes a knock at the bedroom door interrupted the silence. She opened the bathroom door and steered clear of the bed and its terror. She opened the door to see Holiday. "Hey… What's up?"
"Nothing." She smiled at her. "I just wanted to make sure you know that I said you can't work today."
Elise scoffed. "Holiday! Trust me; I'm not going to work. So far my day has been horrible and it's just the first 15 minutes."
Holiday nodded. "Ah…" She looked inside the room and saw the bed. "Got in a fight with your bed?"
"Yes and sadly it won." Elise answered, her voice clipped.
Holiday laughed. "Well, I hope the rest of your day in uneventful."
"Thank you Holiday." Elise smiled at her.
The doctor nodded again. "And remember," she lifted a finger as if she was scolding a small child, "no work."
Elise raised her right hand. "No work, scout's honor."
"Good. Until later then." With that Holiday left without noticing the crossed fingers behind Elise's back.
-*- Approximately 1 hour later -*-
"Elise!" Holiday yelled. Elise just typed on her computer, a smirk plastered on her face. "Elise! You promised not to work!"
"The beauty of crossed fingers Holiday." She replied without looking at her.
Holiday groaned and rubbed her fingers into her temple. "You are starting to become a headache."
"Sorry about that." Elise said no sign of sarcasm in her voice.
Rex and Bobo came into the room then and they walked straight to Elise, noticing the bed that was still unmade. "Elise." Bobo started as he climbed onto her desk and opened his soda which was almost about done. "Sure you should be workin'?" He took a swig.
She chuckled. "Bobo, it was my legs that got hurt, not my brain." She replied, still not looking at them.
Rex slammed his hand into her desk which made her jump but she still looked at the computer screen. "Don't be so difficult Elise. Just stop working!"
"What got into your pants this morning?" She said, once again, not looking at him.
Rex growled. The door opened and Six walked in. "What's happening?"
Rex looked at Six. "Elise is being a pain in the—"
"Butt." Bobo intervened. He took a long sip from his soda and put the cap on his now empty bottle.
"I swear someone put bees into his pants." Elise laughed as she clicked the enter key and watched as the nanites, her nanites that she had put on a slide and is currently being watched by a small camera in the microscope. Holiday couldn't help but look over onto the screen.
"Elise, get off the computer right now. If not I will have you locked up so you don't work." Holiday gave him a 'what the fuck?' look but he ignored it… Slightly.
The female Evo laughed. "Yeah, here the expression 'you can't lead a horse to water'? Well you can't lead a centaur into lock up." Elise laughed once more and Bobo joined her.
He received glares from the three. "What? This girl's hilarious." He grinned at them.
"That was pretty good wasn't it?" Elise asked Bobo her eyes glued to the screen.
"Yeah man!" Elise extended her hand out, palm up. Bobo slapped it and Elise gave him a thumbs up. "Whoo!" The monkey chuckled as he slapped his knee with the empty bottle. Rex tore the bottle from Bobo and slapped him in the head before giving the bottle back to Bobo. "Why you-!" Bobo yelled as he stood.
Noah entered through the doors then. "Hey guys. Having a party?" The four stared at him. Noah chuckled nervously. "Hey Elise."
She nodded and typed some more on her computer. "Hey Noah."
Noah walked over. "Aren't you not allowed to work?"
Holiday sighed. "She's not allowed to but she persistent."
The blonde boy tapped his chin with a finger. He thought that maybe asking her out would do the trick but because of what they said yesterday he couldn't though he knew that would have worked. "Hmm…" He snapped his fingers. "Hey there's going to be this new club opening tonight. It's supposed to be the bomb. We could go shopping and get something to wear and then we can all go." He moved his finger in a circle to indicate everyone in this room. Sure it sounded a lot like a date but that was the whole point. In fact it would have been if not for the followers.
"Oh yes!" Holiday said quickly as practically jumped up in joy. "I haven't been to a club in years!" Six gave her a look which she ignored… Slightly.
"Cool." Rex smiled. "What do you think Bobo?"
The chimp mimicked Rex's smile. "It'll be awesome." He then threw the bottle at Rex which hit him in the side of his head."
"Hey!" Rex yelled as he rubbed the side of his head.
"That's for earlier." Bobo grinned.
Elise had stopped typing and turned her head slightly, just enough so that when she looked at Noah by the corner of her eye she could see his whole face. Noah continued describing the club. "It's like a mix between a karaoke club and a live band club. It's practically a teen safe club. It's supposed to be disco themed though it doesn't play just 70's music. It plays all music from the 70's to now, mostly modern music."
Elise's fingers twitched slightly and Noah couldn't help but smile. She turned her eyes away. "I have work to do." She said softly before she continued typing again.
Noah sighed sadly. "Okay. Well I'm actually going tonight. Tonight since its opening it's free. The only thing you need to pay for is food and drinks and then if you like the experience they're giving a discount on a membership thing in which you pay and you can just walk into the club or something like that." Noah shrugged. "Anyone coming with me? Going shopping."
Holiday groaned. "Wish I could. Have to work. I'll see if I can get out going to the club with you." She smiled at him.
"Great." Noah smiled back. "Pick you up at 7." He joked.
Holiday chuckled and Six frowned. Rex and Bobo stood. "We'll go with you." They said together.
"Great." Noah repeated. He looked at Six and then looked away. He stared at Elise for a moment. "Well, Elise, if you change your mind, I'll be here at around 7 to get everyone."
"Hm-mm." She grumbled.
Noah smiled sadly. "Come on guys." The male teens left first followed by Six.
Holiday stayed behind for a little. "Don't work too hard." She said before she exited Elise's room. Once the door closed Elise minimized her work and pulled up the internet.
"How could Kleiss find out about my family, preferably my father?" She typed in her island and then her name and tried finding a way on how Kleiss could have found out personal info. She stared intently at the screen. "There's no way. We pay to not be mentioned in the list of people on the island. She stared in the middle of two last names where her family would have been, not there. "There's no way." She repeated her anxiety rising. She typed faster trying to find anything. Wikipedia, government files, old files before the explosion, anything. Nothing. They do not exist. The Salvadors of Ua Huka, island of French Polynesia, do not exist. Her breath wavered as she sighed, a tear falling down her face. "How? If he knows the truth…" She pushed herself from the desk and spun in her chair so that she had her back turned to the computer. She eyed her phone on her messed up bed, her OCD nipping at her but her anxiety and nervousness was stronger. "Oh please." She stood and speed dialed her mother.
"You have reached an automatic voice message. Amelia Salvador cannot reach the phone at the moment. At the beep please leave a message." Beep. The sound of her mother's voice warmed her heart, even though it's prerecorded.
"Mom, I think someone knows the truth about us. Don't tell father, nor brother and especially not sister, at least not yet." A heavy sigh. "I'm sorry but I can assure, I haven't told anyone the truth… Just be careful and keep a good eye out for anything suspicious." Elise hung up the phone and then it slipped out of her and landed in the comforter that laid on the ground. She placed both hands on her heart and felt her heart beat quickly, her ice cold hands sending a shiver up her body. "Oh please, dear God." She sent a silent prayer and her hands dropped to her sides. She turned the chair and pushed it towards the desk. She sat in her chair and closed the internet and pulled up her work.
Ooh… Cliffy. So how is Elise? Really? Now I know I poked at the curiosity here and you just can't stand not knowing. Come one, admit it! XD Well anyways, please review.
