Me: Once more, welcome to my fan fiction! I am really psyched that so many people are giving me tips and encouraging me to type more. Thanks to all of you guys! This one is really for you all!
Master Chief: Let me kill that clover jawed freak!
Thel 'Vadam: I'll cut you in half, demon!
Me: Sigh, there they go again… I do not own Halo, only my OCs, Rose and Hyak. Yes, Rose is an OC.
Chapter Five
Rose was out of her cell, though, not in an escape. She was being moved to a new cell, which would hopefully be more comfortable. She sighed and looked at the elite, adorned in blue armor, like many others, though, with a mischievous side, something the others did not have.
The elite had woken her with plasma rifle fire, and had laughed at her reaction. He seemed somewhat nice to her, none the less.
"So, human, you got a name?" Rose almost jumped out of her skin when the elite spoke fluent English. "Well, are you going to answer me?"
"It's Rose. My name is Rose Akiva."
"Nice to meet you, Rose!" The elite held out a hand, surprising her further. "Name's Gilc. I heard you got brought in by Hyak." Rose looked down at the mention of the boy who was slightly older than she was. Gilc noticed, and his mandibles splayed into a smirk. "I guess you two know each other."
Rose stayed quiet, touching the camera once more. She sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but think about how close they had been during the battle on Earth. Then her mind wandered to his eyes. She shivered, recalling how they had changed from the blue-grey of a human to the yellow of the elites.
"You know," Gilc said, distracting her, "Hyak was actually talking about you last night. In his sleep, yeah, but still."
"He talked about me? What did he say?" Gilc snickered, his mandibles still splayed, only in a grin at the moment. Rose had a feeling that Hyak was getting horny, just like all the other guys did when they met her.
"Oh, stuff. Mostly about killing. Though, I did hear a moan for some reason. I don't want to know what he was doing," the low ranked elite added when Rose was ready to speak her mind and suggest something. "Anyways, Hyak will take you to your new cell in a bit. Mind staying here while I go deal with business?"
Gilc was already running off before Rose could say anything, and she blinked, confused. She looked around, and was rather surprised to find the area was empty, minus herself.
"Don't bother running," someone said, taking shape as Rose moved to run. Hyak scowled, angered that he had to be near her again. "I don't want to deal with you, so come on." He started to walk off, but Rose remained rooted to the spot. "Krikrikri. I have things to do."
"What the hell did you just call me," Rose asked, glaring at the taller teen.
"All I said was hurry. I could call you a bug, Rose, if you want to be called something." Hyak smirked in a way that would have melted most of the girls in the UNSC, though Rose was used to such smirks.
"Yeah, right. Just because I'm a prisoner doesn't mean you can call me names, Hyak." Hyak raised an eyebrow, his currently human eye watching the girl behind him.
"Just come on. You humans race, do you not?"
Rose was confused, but only for a moment. "You're human as well. But anyways, yes, we do occasionally race each other. Why, are you challenging me to one," she asked, certain he was.
"Only if you think I am. If you win, I might let you stay in the barracks rather than in a cell." Hyak grinned, and for a few brief seconds, Rose could see him as a real human, not one raised by the Covenant. "I'll tell you what. I'll give you a ten second head start to your old cell."
"That's all I need," Rose said. She broke out into a full sprint, and with the head start, was a good ten meters ahead of Hyak.
"Yeah, sorry. Not fast enough," Hyak said, catching up in seconds without going full speed. "Are all humans so slow? Or is it just you?" He laughed when Rose glared at him, trying to move faster.
"You should really pay attention to where you're going." Rose pointed ahead, and Hyak managed to only get a glimpse before running straight into a wall. "Are elites always so oblivious, or is it just you?" She continued pushing herself as the teen groaned and started running again.
The cell was in sight, and Rose reached out to grab a bar and claim victory. She wrapped her hand around it, grinning. "Yes, I won!"
"Are you so sure?" Hyak was grabbing a bar on the next cell over, a smug look on his face. "You chose the wrong cell. Though, as you did beat me to it, I'll consider letting you move to the barracks. Or, maybe somewhere I can keep a closer eye on you?"
"What are you talking about? Don't you pretty much live here?"
The human elite rolled his eyes, sighing. "No, I live a better life than those here. You know, if you accept this offer, you'll be the first human, besides myself, to be in the Holy City and live here. I'm offering you the chance to live in a true Sangheili home. Belonging to my father and myself, of course, but still."
Rose gawked, feeling a blush rise in her cheeks. He's asking me to live with him and that other elite. I'm only sixteen! I shouldn't be moving in with a boy yet! I barely even know him!
"Rose? Are you feeling well?" Hyak waved a hand in front of her face, and she shut her mouth, shaking her head.
"Yeah, uh, sorry. I'll take the offer, as long as it's better than those cells." Hyak grinned at her, his arms crossed as he leaned against the bars.
"Trust me, the only place worse than this is in the barracks. Anything else is better than the cells. Come on," he said, standing upright. "I'll take you back to my 'humble abode'."
Me: Wow... That was not what I expected would happen.
Thel 'Vadam: Two humans in my home!? I will rip your head off!
Master Chief: Oh god, if what I think is about to happen happens, there is going to be one big mess...
Me: Blaugh!(Disgusting!) You are a complete pervert! I thought Spartans weren't into this kind of thing! *shivers* Anyways, R&R!
