Part II: Little White Lies (Part 1)
Rylee groaned softly, trying to drown out the squeals of her little sister. "Ryles! Look at da one wid th' blond hair! He's so sexy!" Everlee whispered.
"How are we related again?" Rylee muttered, rolling her eyes skyward. Everlee had dragged her to the Host Club that day, insisting on Rylee coming with her to 'boywatch'.
Tamaki glided over, taking Everlee's hand and kissing it. "I see I have an admirer." He smiled.
Everlee all but melted at the so called 'Princely type's' advances.
Rylee rolled her eyes. "Fuck off, baka." She snapped angrily at the blonde. "My sister is not to be drooled over, especially by an idiot like you."
Tamaki sighed dramatically "Such harsh words for such a delicate flower."
Rylee's eyes flashed, she was reminded of him.
"My delicate flower." The black-haired man drawled, twirling the knife in his hands. He brought his hand back to drive the red-hot dagger in-
Rylee bolted off the couch, out of the room and into the hall, tears stinging her eyes, painful memories flashing through her mind, haunting her.
Everlee looked up. "Ryles!" She yelled after her sister, running after the dark-haired girl.
"Rylee?" Everlee called, stepping into an abandoned classroom. She heard her sister's crying. 'Uh-oh, she's had another meltdown.' Everlee thought, kneeling by a desk.
As she thought, Rylee was curled up under the desk, eyes puffy from crying and her hoodie stained with blood.
"Rylee, what's going on?" Everlee whispered.
The dark haired girl bit her lip. She didn't want Everlee to know about The Rippers. She didn't answer, she simply continued to sob into her little sister's shoulder, exhaustion eventually taking over and she fell into a nightmare-plagued sleep.
Everlee looked down at her now sleeping sister sadly, before glancing out the schoolroom windows.
The blonde sighed, it was obvious that something else was bothering the usually cocky and strong girl, but what could be so bad that would break her sister like that?
Okay, I think some explanations are in order before we read the second part.
Q: Why did Rylee get so upset over one little comment?
A: Rylee has had kind of a mental breakdown, due to stress and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Tamaki's statement reminded her of her tormentor, Rijan, thus causing her breakdown.
Part II: Little White Lies (Part 2)
Taunting. Leering faces, mocking pleas for help, jeers from all around her.
Every gang member was crowded around her, mocking her, spitting at her.
The sea of people parted to let a raven-haired man through. They bowed to him like he was some sort of King. She looked at him with the upmost disgust, trying to keep her pride, even though her insides were quivering in fear of this man.
"Nice of you to join us, Razor." He drawled, twirling the knife in his hand casually, blood-red eyes studying her, daring Rylee to show the slightest bit of fear.
Rylee shut her eyes, willing back the tears of shame. She had failed Rijan... and now she had to pay the price.
Rijan walked over to a small bonfire that his lackeys had made, shoving the blade into the fire to heat it.
Once the metal had attained a red glow, he pulled it from the flames and brought it to her naked form, dragging the tip across her chest in an disgustingly intracate arc.
She swore loudly when he repeated the action, they poured from her mouth like water from a fountain, which seemed to fuel Rijan's merciless branding.
"Such harsh words for such a delicate flower." He sneered, making another cut into her already bruised and beaten skin.
Rijan dug the knife in again and again, before pulling back and admiring her tear-stained face. He chuckled evilly, looking at his work.
He brought the now cool knife to his lips, lapping up some of the crimson liquid that had dirtied the blade.
He turned and walked away, but only when he was out of her sight did she dare to lift her head and look at her bloodied chest.
The symbol of the Rippers, a dagger stabbed through a bleeding rose, was burned into her chest. She began to sob.
Rijan's smirking face haunted her. "Remember who you belong to, Razor."
And the mystery begins to unravel! Please review, feedback is always appreciated!
