Chapter 3
Alexia quielty stepped back from the parted bathroom door. She let a heavy sigh escape her mouth as she turned to stare at her reflection in the mirror that hung over the sink. She caressed the split in her lip and shook her head. Scud had got her good. Snatching up a wash rag she ran it under hot water and began working on mopping up the line of blood that traced itself a path down her chin.
Blade could certainly get on her fucking nerves. He wasn't really her blood brother but they had grown up together. Sometimes the overprotective brother attitude came in handy. Other times, it was down right annoying. He was really cold most of the time and he chose the most inappropriate times to become protective of her. Most of the those times being now.
After wiping up all the blood and cleaning her lip, she took her hair down. Swiftly pushing the door open she sighed and made her way to her room.
It wasn't until recently that she had started spending the majority of her nights cooped up with Scud in his room. He would be laying on his bed, ashtray resting next to him. He would roll a joint and smoke it as they talked all throughout the night. What other choice did she have? Blade had refused to take her on his hunting trips so she had resorted to spending time with their new mechanic boy. It had first started a week after he had been hired by Blade. She remembered that night as if it were yesterday. She was bored out of her mind and she had not felt like sleeping. Hearing the sounds of fighting and Scud yelling had drawn her to his room. She had crept up to his door and bust through it on purpose to see the look of surprise on his face. When she had made her entrance, he was cursing at his TV. He had been playing a war game and was getting pissed because he was losing.
As she stood there, watching him as he smoked down a cigarette, she realized that he was a bit too stoned to even realize that she had made her way into his room. Finally, after dying the fifth time, he took notice of her. He jumped as he put his cigarette out. She giggled as he blinked, his eyes a bloodshot red.
"Oh, hey!"
And thats how it all began. From that night forward, she went into his room almost every night. They would play video games. Once all the games had been beaten, they took to watching movies. After all the movies were watched, they took to talking. He would be laying in a pair of dark sweat pants and a white wife beater. She would be in her pajamas. Resting on the bed, he would always smoke nearly half his pack. She would smoke the other half. She loved the taste of his cigarettes for some reason. She never knew why, she just always did.
Night after night, while Blade was away, she'd lay on his floor as they talked about anything and everything. Some of their conversations consisted of the most random things. Most of them were the product of him getting really high and her trying to react to the crazy things he came up with. She absolutley loved it. It kept her occupied and she had learned more about Scud than any other person in her whole entire life.
As she began to strip off her clothes, she grew extremely pissed. She came to the conclusion that Blade had no right to accuse them nor assume a thing such as them sleeping together. Sure, sometimes they would talk for so long, she'd end up passing out on his bed and he would end up falling asleep too. He'd talk to her sleeping form as he layed in the dark until he drifted away.
Suddenly, she realized that she wasn't going to be able to talk with Scud nor sleep in his room tonight. Blade would be watching him like a hawk. As she layed in her bed, she grew extremely uncomfortable with this thought.
They were just friends after all.
