Don't You Fake It
Chapter XI: The Highroad Part 1
Seth leaned back on the snow bank, when Seth awoke again he was ordered to train three boys, Ori, Flin and Jus. Three brothers from a northren tribe near the temples, each were cowarding in the corner as older boys fought with fake swords and BB guns. Seth sighed and covered his face with his arm, all around him young boys fought never seeing a battle or war. Not even knowing what it would be like to be in a battle or a fight with another set out to kill them; Seth peaked at his boys. Flin stood still, behind him Ori and Jus trembled as shoots were fired around them.
"Get up soilder!" An older man shouted pointing his very long gun at Seth's face, Seth grabbed the metal part of the gun and stood up. The man had old KG tattoos on his face, and many scars along his arms and legs. Around them everyone had stopped to watch Seth and the man, Seth stepped up to the man and smirked.
"Fuck you." The man pulled his gun away from Seth and shoved his foot into his chest, Seth grabbed his foot and twisted it. Then the man shoved the but of his gun into Seth's stomach, Seth stumbled backwards holding his stomach. The man laughed and waved all the boys inwards, Seth coughed feeling his blood start to burn under his flesh.
"Boys I'd like to show you what happens with you don't listen to me," He kicked Seth in the ribs, Seth let out a shout of pain as the man walked around him. Seth's eyes went to Ori, Flin and Jus all standing in a line watching the teen that was suppose to be training them get beat up. "So Seth Mar, had enough?"
"He's Seth Mar?... What's he doing so far from the Wasteland?... Can't he kill us with Dark Eco?" Was what he heard around him, Seth slowly pushed him up holding his stomach but the man shoved him back down.
"I didn't hear you soilder!" The man shouted in his ear.
"Sir, no, sir! I haven't had enough of bitch slaps!" The man kicked Seth in the face, causing Seth to curse loudly. He rolled over on his back and held his nose, around him now boys were talking louder and louder each whispering about the Lieutenant being wrong. The man laughed and bent down to Seth laying on his back, he grabbed a handful of his brown hair.
"Daddy can't help you out here boy," The man spit. "I'm Lieutenant Hleiver... you may know my twin... Kleiver? Watch your damn boys." Lieutenant Hleiver spat before standing and stepping on the brunette's chest, he walked off with his other friend.
Seth laid in the snow for a couple minutes, he stared up at the cloudy gray sky above him; wishing he was back with his family. Suddenly Ori, Flin and Jus were all standing around him, along with a couple of older boys just a few years younger then Seth. They helped Seth onto his feet, Seth rubbed his nose and felt a sharp sense pain shoot through his body. Ori went under one arm, and Flin went under the other; they both helped Seth back to the hut where he was staying leaving a blood splattered on the ground.
Seth sat on the bed as Jus passed him a wet cloth, Seth nodded to the body and pressed it on his face trying not to think about the pain all over his body.
"Nous sommes d sol s que cela vous est arriv , Seth." Jus said climbing onto the bed, Seth raised an eyebrow at Jus as Flin walked over.
"He said, 'we're sorry that this happened to you, Seth.' Jus only learned how to speak from our mother, who only speaks French. She's dead now... after the Army raided our village."
"Does everyone in your village speak like this?"
"Not everyone. Flin said offering Seth a drink of wine. "Drink this it'll take the edge off." Seth nodded and sipped on the bitter wine, Ori walked over and sat at the egde of the bed.
"Etes-vous allez nous former Seth?"
"Translation."
"Are you going to train us Seth?" Seth nodded looking into the glass of wine, he wrinkled his nose as he took another sip. Vice pushed back the sheet and put a bowl of werid looking iced over fruit on a stand, she stomped up to Seth and glared at all the boys.
"Cong , en ce moment." She hissed, the boys all looked to each other. "Laisser! Laisser! Do I hav' ta say it english?! Leave!" All the boys hurried out and Seth chuckled taking the cloth away from his face, they were right about the wine the edge of the pain was going away.
"I didn't know you could speak French."
"My mother is from their tribe, La Nord. It means North, they lived in the farest tribe north." Vice shook her head and took Seth's face in her hand, she leaned close to his face and licked his nose. Seth was about to scream from the pain when he felt to diseaper within seconds, he pulled away from her and touched his nose. No pain or new blood.
"Vice what did you-" Vice shoved him back down on the bed and got on top of him, she leaned down to his neck and licked where an important vein was. "Vice-" Seth whispered as she bit down on his neck, letting her teeth sink through his soft flesh. Seth gasped as she started to suck, taking smaller more controlled glups from then before. Seth closed his eyes again and instantly fell into a different world, around him pillars of eco stood. Seth turned around and looked behind him, sitting on Dark Eco pillar was his dark self.
'soo Seth welcome back...' His darkself glanced to the angel like creature sitting on inactive pillar of Light Eco. 'oh intros, Seth Mar please meet your Light Eco self... blah, blah, blah... he's ready to connect blah-'
"Wait," Seth said running up to the angel like creature. "You want to connect, like give me Light Eco?"
'duh,' The dark creature laughed. 'see told you he was an idiot! the only way out of this place is to connect with this holy brat... and then TAADAA you'll be able to get out of this place, go back to daara -ps you'll love daara can't wait to pop-'
"Go on." Seth growled.
'anywho... you'll know the place... blah... blah... later Seth!'
Seth was dropped right back into his body, his body felt very heavy and he felt tired. He turned his head to see Vice wipping up the blood from his neck, she blushed a little before putting her head down.
"Sorry.. I'm a messy drinker."
"Argh..." Seth groaned sitting up, he rubbed his temples still feeling the effect of the wine. "You drank from me?" She nodded innocently.
"Sadly yes... but I think your my game." Seth blankly at Vice, he threw back the sheets and jumped out of the bed.
"That's sick... your sick... all this is bullshit!" Seth shouted and ran out of the hut, he glanced back at the hut for only a second before running out of the village without being seen.
"Mrs. Grante doesn't want any visitors!" Rose shouted at Eli as he walked up the stairs, Eli rolled his eyes at the maid as he turned down the hallway to the red head's room. She hadn't been seen by the public since Baron Schuyler's funeral, which took place right after his death- only in the fast pace of Kras City could someone not be dead for a couple of days. He shoved the door opened and locked it behind him, Grante was sitting on the chair by the window staring out at the ocean.
"Grante you can't locked up your room!" Eli shouted opening the window, she didn't even flinch when the bright light came in. "You need to show the city that you're a strong leader! Baron Schuyler believed in you and so do I, so get up!"
"Leave me alone." Grante said standing up, she went to the bed and fell back on it. Eli growled and wandered around the room, it was littered with her funeral clothing.
"You haven't let Rose in here have you?"
"There's no point." Grante grumbled. "Elijah... go home." Eli sighed and went to her computer, he turned it on and typed in her password and username.
"I'm not going home until you walk out that door with your head held high."
"I'm sad Elijah... can't you understand that and just leave it alone?"
"You have to be strong Grante," Eli said typing in a message on her blog page, he glanced at her as she sat up and ran her fingers through her hair. "Think about it Grante, I wake up every morning knowing that my twin is missing, I found out that I have a sister and that my girlfriend is in depression... and I still get up. I'll make my life better-"
"Elijah why do you do the things you do?" Eli turned around in the chair.
"What do you mean?"
"Even though you know my father is Erol, the man that has tried to kill your father and now yourself... and you still consider me your girlfriend... why?" Eli rolled his eyes and went back to the blog.
"Because we can get through it... no matter what. Plus," Eli said glancing back at Grante. "He seems like a nice guy." Grante snorted.
"Maybe too nice." Eli laughed and went back to typing, Grante climbed off the bed and stepped up behind Eli. "Whatca writing about?"
"Telling the world you give up on being who you are and that you're gonna kill yourself-"
"What no way!" Grante said pushing him aside and deleted the whole thing, she went through her mail and pointed to a new message. "They are talking about a new leader coming into the lime light, I should have a say in that." Grante said scrolling down to print out the time and place, she wandered away from the computer and pulled out her clothes from the closet. Eli leaned back in the chair and smirked.
"What's this about?"
"Since Baron Schuyler is dead, we need a new leader. Baron Schuyler was all about hope, future and giving to the public and other nations. I like his ideals but I want to get rid of the Slums, I hate driving through there and seeing those people living like that only a community away from my own home." Eli smirked, she was almost there.
"What else?"
"Um... I'll build as I go on?" Grante laughed, Eli smiled at her laughing. She went to the mirror and put a plaid headband on, she applied lipgloss. Eli stood up and went over to her, she was applying eyeshadow when Eli put his arms around her wasit. He kissed her neck and smiled, she smiled at him in the mirror. "What?"
"Welcome back," Grante laughed at Eli and fluffed her hair, he played with the back. "I like the wild bedhead look Grante, it suits you." Grante laughed again and turned to face him.
"What are you talking about?" Grante said sitting up ontop of her dresser, Eli placed his hands on her knees. "Are you saying that you like seeing me come right out of bed?" Eli leaned close to her face and pressed his lips on hers, she raised a hand to his face to bring him closer. Eli put his arms around her as she tightened her grip on his shirt, Eli ran his hand along her arm and pressed his face on hers.
"Be careful... I don't want you to get hurt..." Grante kissed his cheek.
"I will... watch me tonight?" He smirked.
"Of course." He said hugging her. "See you tomorrow." Grante nodded as Eli left her room, a small knock came from behind the door and Rose entered into the room.
"Mrs. Grante you look amazing!" Grante nodded and slipped into her high heels.
"Thank you Rose, can you call around for a limo?" Rose nodded and left the room, right after Rose left Erol walked and leaned on the doorframe.
"Welcome back... I was ready to send you away." Grante laughed reapplied her lipgloss.
"Where would you send me?" Erol shrugged.
"I was making connections."
"So are you going to watch?" Erol nodded.
"I might as well, right? I want to know what you are planning for this city... personally I want to see if you gained any of my traits." Grante laughed, Erol shifted in his place. "But can you do me a favour?"
"Anything." Grante said putting her jacket on.
"Just take the highroad..." Erol said chuckling. "Something I never did once in my life."
