Aaaand I'm back! Haven't updated for an entire month... I hope you guys are still reading! Also, the spin off is FINALLY up.
Sonia smelled the smoke first. It filled her lungs and made her eyes water. She sits up and coughs heavily, trying to figure out what was happening. Drake was gone and Violet was still knocked out cold. She's such a light-weight.
"Violet." Sonia breaks off into a fit of coughing. "Violet, get up!" She shakes Violet roughly, the older not even responding.
Sonia puts her ear to Violet's chest, relieved to hear a faint heartbeat. She stands, the smoke only becoming thicker. She holds Violet from behind, looping under her armpits. She drags her sister out, only to find the whole block on fire.
"Sam?" Sonia hobbles over, clutching Violet tightly. "What's going on?"
"Fires, I bet Zil and his people started it." Sam grimaces. "We're clearing the houses and trying to curb the fire"
"I-I can help! Just take Violet!" She pleads, wanting a way to prove to Sam she was still on his side. "I'll get the kids out the houses!"
Sam gives her a supicious, "Alright... Hand her over."
Sonia hands over Violet and speeds off into a house where she could clearly hear yelling. At top speeds, she breaks a hole through the door and searches the house for others. She finds 2 in the bedroom and 1 more in the bathroom. She starts to cough again, the smoke clouding her sight. She trips over the couch and flips onto the coffee table. She scrambles to her feet and picks up the kids again. She bolts out the house and sets them down where houses weren't burning: near the beach.
She goes house to house in search of more people trapped in their homes.
Violet came too and found herself laying on the beach. She springs to her feet and scans the area. Chaos was all around, hell, she even just witnessed Nerezza kill Orsay, then Astrid kill Nerezza. Violet stumbles back, realizing it didn't just happen. It was the thoughts of someone close by. Scary thoughts.
Violet stands up and runs with the crowd. She stops as she sees the monster from Cloverfield towering over the docks. Her eyes widen in horror, a scream pierces the air. And it wasn't hers.
Krissy had gotten close enough to Penny to attempt to punch her lights out. The punch landed, but Penny wasn't knocked out. She was pretty mad though. She focuses her attention of Krissy and let's all hell free.
Krissy stares in horror as her arm catches fire. She screams and waves her arm around, but it dosen't help. It burns and falls off. At least that's what she sees. Bees, wolves, spiders, various monsters from scary movies. Krissy is bombarded with hallucination after hallucination, image after image.
Violet runs forward and tackles Penny down, breaking her concentration and ending the hallucinations temporarily. Penny scowls and shoves the girl off.
"Penny, come now or get left." Caine scowls, raising Violet and Krissy into the air and throwing them off the boat. Krissy's screams continue, her hallucinations rising past Penny's ways. The Human Crew girl sighs in relief as the hallucinations stop. She shoots Violet a faltering glare and runs to catch up with Zil. Violet grabs her arm to stop her.
"Let go, liar!" Krissy snaps. "Freak!"
"I'm not a liar, Krissy. I know what Zil told you."
"That you lied about your freak powers!"
"I didn't lie, you left before I could tell you! And either way, they'd kill you like they tried with Hunter because it's heriditary!"
"What?"
"You have freak powers too! Look at youself, you look like me!"
Krissy runs over and looks at her blurry reflection in the water. She looked exactly like Violet, even had her voice.
"This is impossible! I was the normal one!" Krissy shrieks. "The one who would survive in this family! I'm not suppose to be a freak!"
Her skin soon starts to ripple and she returns to her normal looking, Krissy-self. She sobs softly and turns away.
"This can't be happening..."
"It's the FAYZ. Anything is possible." Violet sighs.
Sonia zooms up the mountain pass, seeing the kids going over the side with Mary. She launches off the side of the cliff and tackles as many kids as she could to safety, away from the many sharp rocks. She hits the dirt hard, the sand just about sanding her skin raw again.
She caught 2 small kids, she breathes a sigh of relief as she turns and see Dekka caught rest. She laughs softly and turns to Brianna.
"Looks like you beat me here, Breeze." Sonia smirks.
"Because no one can beat, The Breeze." Brianna smirks back.
"But hey, I can catch!"
"Whatever you say, Sonic."
"Gaaah, Sonic's a boys' name!"
"Alright, we'll discuss your superhero name later."
Sonia stands up and dusts herself off, then helps Brianna up. She looks around at the few kids that hit the ground, mostly sporting bruises and cuts. She looks up and sees the rest of the children floating in mid-air. Her eyes widen when she sees a body in the sharp rocks.
She gets closer, standing in water up to her knees. Her mouth drops open at the sight of her favorite kid, Dallas, dead in the rocks. She looks away from the gory scene, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She turns and speed walks away.
"Sonic, you okay?" Brianna frowns.
"Yeah, I'm cool. I just... Nothing."
Violet helps transfer injured children to the daycare. It wasn't the best plan, but it's all they had. She shudders at the memory of today. She saw Drake get halfway burned alive, Mary commit suicide, almost saw a bunch of kids die, and just found out Brittany and Drake share a body. It wasn't a very good day.
When she finishes up, she heads back up to the docks. She stops when she sees Sonia standing on the edge of the dock with Krissy. Sonia backs up, holding her hands up defensively. Krissy had a gun pointed at her younger triplet.
"What is wrong with you?! What did I do?" Sonia whimpers.
"You freaks killed one of mine, I'll kill one of the freaks." Krissy snaps back.
"..."
"..."
"I'm fine with that, but why does it have to be me?!"
"Because I can't trust you, Sonia. You lie, you cheat... I mean... Who's side are you on?"
"My side."
"That's not good enough answer."
"Krissy, drop the gun." Violet points a gun at Krissy. "Your a freak too, why are you still with the human crew?"
"Oh shi-when did you get here?!" Krissy glances back with a scowl.
"You can't kill your own sister. What is wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me!"
"DJ!" Hank bounds forward. "Hey, back off freaks!"
"Yeah, back off." Krissy snaps.
"You back off!" Sonia snaps back. "Your the one pointing a gun at your sisters head!"
"Shut up!"
"Sonia, just run away!" Violet groans.
"I don't run from a fight, no matter how unfair!" Sonia shakes her head.
"Sonia, lea-"
"I said no-"
"GET OUT OF HERE!"
Sonia narrows her eyes at Violet and disappears with a loud boom, putting a crack in the docks. Violet sighs and rolls her eyes, lowering her gun slightly.
"You leave us alone, we'll leave you alone." Violet says. "Now leave until you get your mind right."
