Chapter 2
Its early in the morning where the sun was just starting to come up. Most people were still asleep, but here I am running. I know shes gotta be out here somewhere. Damn! How could I have been so stupid? Fuck! Dammit, I knew I should have never left her alone. What if she got hurt? I could never live with myself knowing she was in danger and I wasn't there to help her. Where is Scarlet right now!? She's the only one who can use me other than Ivory! Just, fuck! If Ivory is hurt this is not going to end well for anyone. Just where the hell is she!?
This town seems so empty. It shouldn't be this hard to find her! Then off in the distance I can hear her. I look around to figure out just from where its coming from. I transform into my wolf form, Sin.
Hes not even the best form, he's large and not very fast, but hes all I have to help me find her. In this form every move I make is noticed, with unusual markings of black on white makes it easy to tell that its me. I will say that sounds are much more clear and I can finally figure out where its coming from. Off to the right thats where she is. I start to dash off into that direction and then I soon find myself stopping dead in my tracks. Right in front of me is the black woods. Why would she go there? Nevermind that I need to get going. I shake the idea out of my head and I'm about to take off again but I don't. Someone is near or at least on their way. I look over my shoulder and see Scarlet running my way. I transform back to normal.
"What took you so long?" It seems awful but really I'm not sure what else to say to her, and she did take like forever to get here.
"What do you mean? I came as soon as I could. And besides you don't make it easy to catch up to you when I can't find you anywhere." She takes a breath after every few words or so. I guess I get why she is out of breath, and I was running all about.
"Whatever now is not the time to vent, we need to get going." I don't feel like listening to her anymore. I'm not lying to her. "Besides you may want to get ready for what we might encounter."
"Why?"
"Because where we're headed is right there in front of us." She looks off into the direction I've been facing and her eyes grow big but then she nods. Off in the distance I can still hear her, just by the sound I can tell that shes in pain. "We need to go." I don't even wait for Scarlet to answer me and transform back to Sin and bolt off towards the black woods.
As I move in closer to the woods it all feels off. Nothing feels right. This can't be good. The only thing I can think of is Ivory. She better be okay.
Thinking this I slow down and soon stop in my tracks transforming out of Sin back to normal and collapsing onto a nearby wall. No I'm not going weak over this thought, she's fine I know she is. Shes gotta be fine, if not I need to be there for her. I can't fall apart now. Not when I'm going after her. I've always been there for her I can't stop now.
I pull myself together and make my way even closer to black woods. I rush over just enough to see her and I stop. She is covered in blood. Jett is there and he is trying to help her up. I can tell that he knows that shes in pain because he takes her hands and tries to help her stand.
"Ehhh! Ahh!" Ivory leans down her head and falls back to the ground in pain. I feel awful looking at her situation and here I am just watching. In a way I want to think that thats not her, that its not Ivory it can't be her. But I know it is. She tries to stand once again but Jett talks her out of it. She doesn't listen and tries to stand anyways, and of course she falls back down to her knees. I can't stand to watch her suffer like this, but I know that Jett knows what he is doing. I just watch him take care of her.
Scarlet finally catches up, She doesn't say anything. Suddenly, a piercing pain goes through my shoulder. I got shot. Twice. Then again and again. My body was full of metal shells. Now who the fuck shot me? I look around but see no one. Anyways I have to push through I need to push through the pain. Even if I can't I can fake it through. I need to at least hear from Ivory what happened. I get myself together and make my way to Ivory and Jett. Scarlet helps me over there and when we get close to them I let go of Scarlet and let myself fall to the ground. Just one look at Ivory and I know exactly who did this.
"Jett, I need you to take Ivory back home." I look at him dead in the eye. I need him to take her back home, and I can't take her there. Not in the condition that I'm in right now. Jett agrees and gets up with Ivory in his arms. I wait till they're far enough away before getting up.
"Scarlet." I reach out to her.
"Evans? What do you plan on doing?" She just doesn't understand.
"Listen I know who did that to Ivory and now its my turn to get him back."
"But Evans?"
"No Scarlet I know who did that and this isn't the first time that hes hurt Ivory." With this she looks worried and a bit upset with herself for thinking it wasn't that big of a deal. "And now is my chance for revenge!"
"Then lets get going." She reaches out to me and takes my hand. "If its revenge you want then you're gonna need me." She forces a smile. I grab her hand and transform into a scythe. "Lets go show that bastard what he deserves." She speaks in a strong tone and she grips onto me tight. She takes off running faster than I've ever seen her go. I can tell she is determined to find him.
Him, the one person I can never forgive. He hurt the only family I had left and for that I can never look at him the same again. In a way it helps that Scarlet is as determined as I am. What he has done is something I will never let him live down. If I did I just don't know how I could look at myself without cringing.
Scarlet has been running up and down town and through the woods none stop. Still with sign of him anywhere.
"Scarlet, just stop." I can't have her keep running like this. Its no point.
"But we have to find him." She stops and her breathing is deep.
"Scarlet, there is no point you're going to wear yourself out by running around like this. If we do get to him you wont have the energy to fight him. Making this whole thing pointless." I'm not trying to get out of fighting him, I really do just want to kick in his fucking throat, but I mean everything that I said. If she keeps running the way she has been she'll be out of energy to fight, and I can't fight him on my own. She just needs to take it easy for now, its like shes pushing herself too much right now. I'm fucking pissed that we can't find him but there really isnt a point in looking for him any longer. He'll turn up again and by then I'll be ready for him.
"Evans?" Scarlet falls to the ground with her head down. This is not like her. The way she fell is not from exhaustion she let herself fall.
"Yeah Scarlet?" I didn't know what was happening. Was she gonna try and guilt trip me or something, because the way shes talking seems really pitiful and weak. There was long pause of nothing but silence. Scarlet stands, and this time with more confidences, she squeezes her grip tight.
"Lets get you home." Scarlet starts walking. I'm breathless, what was I supposed to say. Hold on. Why is she taking me home! I can walk! What ever too late for that now, we weren't very far anyway.
We get to the front door. Scarlet finally lets me go and I transform back to normal. Pain rushed all over my body. The memory of the first bullet going through my shoulder and then the rest of my body filled my head. Remembering this made me feel ill. I make it inside and Ivory is asleep on the couch she has bandages wrapped around her from her waist to her chest. I look back and see that Scarlet has already left. I don't get her. I make my way to my room. I ack so much. Come on now keep yourself together. I pull off my shirt. The pain is unbearable but I can't keep that shirt on I need to be able to care for my own wounds. I throw that shirt onto my bed and walk over to the bathroom, and I fill the tub with ice. The cold will stop the bleeding and get rid of the pain. Once the tub is full I stop and stare into the mirror. I can see all the wounds all over me most are on my back, but they're not that deep. Then I see the one on my shoulder. The first shot. The hole goes straight through. I move my shaking hand over to it. Just then I see Ivory standing in the doorway holding my shirt in her hands. She isn't looking at me but down at my shirt. Tears fill her eyes. Neither of us speak for a while, all I do is watch her just stand there.
"I'm so sorry!" She finally speaks but with every word she stumbles, trying to hold in her tears.
"Ivory? What are you talking about?" I pull myself up to stand straight up.
"I'm so sorry Evans. I should have know better." She breaks down all of her tears that she was holding back come pouring out. She falls to her knees and clings onto my shirt.
"Ivory, its not your fault."
"Yes it is Evans! If it weren't for me you wouldn't be hurt!"
"Ivory!" I scream at her. Its not something I do but she needs to stop talking all this nonsense. Once she finally calms down and she looks up I look into her eyes and just talk to her. "Listen to me okay, its not your fault okay. If anything its mine."
"Evans, no don't think that I didn't tell you I was leaving."
"Ivory, that doesn't matter right now. Okay. We let each other down. The only thing we can do now is take care of ourselves."
Ivory looks up to me and I know it. I have to prove that things will be fine in the end. Just like I've always done. Ever since we were little I was the one to stand up for her. I felt like I had to because shes all I have. Ivory gets up and hugs me, even though shes in bandages of her own. Its because of her that I have to push through mine.
After my ice bath Ivory tends to my wounds cleaning them each out and getting each bullet that remained imbedded in my body out. She wrapped up my shoulder only for it was the only thing that would take some time to heal. Its was the only thing I need to be careful with, and take easy for awhile. I felt weak having her take care of me like this but I know that I can't do it on my own.
The next day at the academy I felt everyone staring at me. I guess someone had heard the gunshots and spread the news around the school. I tried to hide the bandage that covered my shoulder but my tshirt could only stretch so far. I try to forget about it but the pain was still there. Whatever its not that big of a deal people can talk all they want its not going to do anything. Besides I got hurt for going after someone I care about. That and its pretty common to have a weapon be injured from a battle. I convince myself that weapons who don't get hurt in combat don't try hard enough to win, fighting is a team effort and if things start to get bad the weapons are the ones who are supposed to step in and that get the hits.
The day goes on and every now and then I check on Ivory. Everywhere she goes Jett carries her on his back. It sets my mind at ease and I go about my day. Soon me and Scarlet get called into the Death Room. Great, what is it now? Where is Scarlet? Damn, looks like I'll just go and hopefully she heard. On my way there I pass by Crescent and Grey. I don't know what it is about those two. I think they're pretty cool guys. They may cause trouble but at least they give off entertainment, right? But today they seem to be acting a bit off. What happened to them? Where they involved in what happened yesterday somehow? Nevermind them I need to go to the Death Room. Nothing seemed to be up so I still don't get why we were called down. Once I finally get there Scarlet was waiting for me. I know she would be here so its not surprising. She does seem a bit off to know that I see her. What the hell is going on around this school? Its almost like they don't want me to know because as soon as I walk in Scarlet finishes talking to Lord Death and she starts to head out.
"Hey Scarlet wait up!" I rush over to her side. "What the hell just happened in there? What did he need us for?"
"NOTHING HAPPENED EVANS! OKAY, SO JUST DROP IT!" She blew up on the fuck is going on?
On the rest of the walk back everything was silent. It was odd Scarlet never yells like that. What is happening to everyone? It just doesn't fit.
"I'll tell you everything later. Okay?" She just talks in a low and steady tone out of no where, then she walks on ahead of me. All is silent again. What ever looks like I'll figure it out latter then. I don't feel like worrying about it right now. I just hope its nothing about Dominic.
At the end of the day I went to look for Ivory. Scarlet comes running down like shes in a major hurry.
"Evans!" She finally reaches me. "Evans, I need to tell you something."
"Okays then tell me." I'm really confused right now.
"Can I walk home with you today?"
"Um yeah of course you can."
"Okay great I'll see you in a bit then okays" She fakes a smile then walks off. What?
I still don't understand is that really all she wanted to talk to me about? Whatever I'm done for the day with trying to figure her out. I need to find Ivory and check on her. Sometimes she likes to wander around before coming home. Usually it doesn't bother me too much but knowing that Dominic is back I need to step in. Shes already had an encounter with him she doesn't need another one just like it or even close with the condition she's still in. That and if anyone gets the chances to kill him, I want it to be me. I walk off in search of Ivory.
Not to long in my search someone comes from behind me and hugs me. I freeze right in my tracks not knowing who it is holding onto me. I turn my head slightly over my shoulder to see Ivory.
"Oh my gosh I'm so happy I found you." Ivory lets go and she looks at me with the biggest smile on her face. "I knew that you would probably worry about me, so I went to look for you. I wanted to let you know that Jett is gonna walk me home. Is that okay?"
"Yeah thats fine." I feels so relieved by the idea that Jett will be with her. If anything happens they'll be able to fight. The only thing that worries me is the idea that he'll find his way back to her.
That afternoon I make my way home with Scarlet by my side. As we walked things seemed a bit off.
"Evans?" Once again Scarlet talked to me in a low and depressing tone.
"What is it?" I'm not sure what is going on with her lately.
"Well." She doesn't even look at me, just to the ground. What is she hiding from me right now? "Evans, its about what Lord Death told me." She stops talking. The only thing I can do is fill my head with worry. What is she talking about? What did he tell her? I stop walking. Once she finally realizes that I'm not next to her anymore she stops and looks back to me. We make eye contact but she instantly looks straight to the ground again. I walk over to her and place my hands on her shoulders.
"Scarlet tell me right now what Lord Death told you." The way I said it made me feel uncomfortable. I take my hands off her shoulders. She looks up at me.
"What he told me was..." I can tell she is having a hard time telling me. "What he said was that we shouldn't fight anymore. He wants us to take it easy for awhile, maybe even for the rest of the year. He doesn't want you to fight in the condition you're in." She looks up at me and her eyes fill with tears. "Evans I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. I'm not sure I can be your partner anymore. All I do is get you hurt."
"Scarlet!" She continues to cry. "SCARLET SHUT UP ALREADY!" She stops and looks at me worried now. Her crying has stopped. If everything she said is true, what about Ivory? She got hurt more than I did. I finally regain myself and speak once again. "Scarlet this isn't your fault. I'm your weapon I'm supposed to be the one that gets hurt."
She stops talking and nods then she turns away from me and begins to walk. The town was almost in complete silence by this time. Before we knew it a loud explosion was set off sending debris flying everywhere. The explosion wasn't much further than 4 yds. I grabbed Scarlet and pulled her in front of me. The explosion was somewhere behind us. Even in my condition I will still protect my meister, even if it costs me my life. I've been able to protect her to this point and I'm not gonna give up on her now.
So every other chapter the view switches between my main twins Ivory and Evans. I really hope you enjoy in fact I already have prewritten 11 chapters. So please R&R. I would really love to hear from you I need the feedback. Im okay with the hate if you got it but please dont try to kill me alright I dont write these alone I have help.
