Chapter 10: Inconvenience.
"ICARRUS!" I flew out of bed and onto the floor curled up into a ball shivering. "WE'RE LATE BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO SLEEP IN!" I stopped shivering when I saw that it was Weiss stomping towards me.
"Geeze Weiss you scared the hell out of me." I sighed and threw the covers off of me. I sat there on the floor in my underwear for a couple minutes till I remembered that Weiss was standing there. "Oh damn sorry Weiss, I should have covered up." I felt myself growing self-conscious and wrapped the blanket around me as I stood.
"You Ok Icarrus?" Weiss asked as she walked over and put her hand to my forehead. "Do you feel sick or something?"
"It's nothing." I brushed her hand away and threw my blanket on the bed. I started to feel irritated and slowly grew angry. I pulled on some basketball shorts and grabbed a tank top. "Just let me get dressed and we can go."
"Icarrus what's really going on?" Weiss walked over and stood next to me. "Just tell me."
I knew I was about to say something stupid but my mouth wouldn't listen to my brain. 'Don't say it, don't say it, it's not her fault.' I thought as I tried to keep my mouth shut.
"Your family is the problem. If it wasn't for them I would probably be living a normal life." I shut my mouth and hurried out of the room and sprinted out of the building. 'Stupid stupid stupid.' I thought the whole time. 'I don't blame Weiss and I'm not mad at her, so why did I say that.'
I stopped running and saw that I was at the park in town. I clenched my fist and punched a tree. "Oww." I groaned and pulled my fist from the indent as the blood flowed from my knuckles. I leaned against the tree and slid down it; I closed my eyes and sat in silence. After a while I felt something hit my foot, I looked up to see a pissed off Blake and Yang.
"What?" It came off blunter than I had wanted.
"What the hell Icarrus, you know that Weiss has been curled into a ball on your bed crying. She won't say anything to us. Just what did you do?" Yang looked like she wanted to rip my face off.
"Don't worry I didn't do anything to her I just told her something I didn't entirely mean." I tried to avoid it but could tell that they would dig deeper.
"What did you say?" Blake screamed at me. I got pissed and I jumped up.
"That her family is the reason I don't have a normal life and the fact that I had to endure countless tortures and tests because of them. That's basically what I said!" I yelled back at her and they both backed away. Their faces visibly saddened. "Maybe think next time you decide to jump to conclusions." I said as I stomped off.
I could hear their voices in the background but wasn't paying attention. Suddenly there was a loud noise and a blinding light. I felt intense heat and an incredible force smash into me sending me sideways through the glass of the building across the road from where I was. I felt pain throughout my whole body and then I slowly became numb.
'Oh man is this it? Do I die here? No. No way. I need to get up and live my life and no one is going to take that from me.' I thought before I lifted rubble off of my chest and began pulling shards of glass out of my body. After what felt like an eternity of pain I finally made it to my feet. I looked out of the blown up store front and saw people running and screaming.
I searched through the crowd until I spotted what I needed to see, people in black outfits with white masks on. I climbed out and headed towards them. I got within arm's reach of one and threw him to the ground and hovered over him.
"Who are yhou and whhy did you do thish?" I asked in slurred words as blood loss was taking its toll on me. He tried to knock me over and run but I lifted my foot and stomped on his knee crushing it. He screamed but it was muffled. I don't know what possessed me to do it but I lifted my foot again and crushed his other knee. "I ashked you a question."
"We are White Fang and you will be sorry." He said in a pained groan.
"Hwhite Fang? Never heard of them." I placed my foot on his throat and started applying pressure. I could feel my mind start to slip but couldn't stop it. "Morphine can take my pain away. Once I finish you I will feel better." I felt his hands grip my leg and try to force it off of him. "Ihts no use I neehd to hwin or else I won't get any mor-" My vision cut out entirely and I felt as if I was weightless.
"Icarrus!" I could hear my name like someone was shouting it. "Icarrus talk to me buddy."
My eyes rolled back to the front and shot open, I stared into the dark grey irises that I knew.
"Hey Sun when did you get back?" I asked drearily.
"Back? What do you mean I never left. Oh shit look how much blood you've lost, I need to get you out of here and quick." He spoke quickly and tried to pull me over his shoulders.
"Hey now I can walk to the out stairs by myself thank you very much." I began speaking nonsense.
"Out stairs? Just shut up and stop moving." He lifted my torso and I grunted in pain. I looked around me and saw a number of people in black outfits with white masks on the floor. I regained my sense of self and was entirely conscious again.
"Hey what happened Sun?" I coughed up blood and spit it out.
"A terrorist attack by the White Fang. You just happened to be running by the building as they blew it up." He finally got me over his shoulders and began hurrying down the street. "How you survived the explosion is beyond me."
"I remember hearing the girls voices before all this what happened to them?" I asked as I thought back to Blake and Yang.
"They're OK just a little banged up. Blake was unconscious and both her and Yang had some cuts and bruising but I got them to the hospital. I wouldn't have known you were here but Yang managed to tell me before she fell unconscious. I almost didn't make it." He sighed heavily.
"Hey Sun I'm fine now I can walk on my own." I forced myself off of his shoulders and onto my semi stable legs. "See just fine." I said with a smirk. He shook his head and turned to walk.
"Just let me know if you start to lose consciousness OK? Weiss would kill me if anything worse happened to you." Sun walked at a faster pace than I could so there was a good distance between us.
"Die you bastards." I heard the voice out of my right ear and turned to look at the person it came from.
'The guy whose knees I stomped out?' I thought and then everything went slow motion as I saw him lift a rifle up and point it at me. 'Fuc-' {!BOOM!} The sound was louder than it should have been and I felt the bullet tear into my chest and pierce out the other side. I blinked twice and looked down at the blood pouring out of the hole. I could hear something happening in the background but nothing that I could make out.
'A real bullet? Why, doesn't everybody use Dust now?' My mind went blank and nothingness consumed me.
