Silla gives herself a moment to shed the sleep from her brain, to allow the visions of the night to give way to the day, to move from that which she created on a whim to things more fixed and real. In a few minutes Silla will open her eyes and be able to greet the sunlight, to see the colours as bright as the backlit images of hologram screens.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAW95geqUdNZ
Her eyes now lazily open trying their best to adjust to the light and the arms encased around her.
151Please respect copyright.PENANASmLRtvyZ6V
Cuddling Silla in his arms was the bizarre green eyed boy she had met previously. Curiously she gently inclined her head back to look at him, her eyes widening when she realized he was awake. His sleepy emerald eyes looking into her own, he didn't sleep a wink last night.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAObpkYRQxSC
The boy was still surprised from when she suddenly appeared in front of him last night. He clenched his fist as he tried to hide the blush that rose up his cheeks. He had this innate desire to see her beautiful face, her marvelous and soothing existence... He's never felt these emotions in his life before.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAxiCqSms8uI
He leaned into her and brushed his fingertips against het rosy cheeks in an affectionate way as his shaggy blonde hair fell over his eyes while he smiled.
151Please respect copyright.PENANALe9WYrlc0R
"Hmm... What should I do v'ith you?" he softly murmured in his gentle yet thick accent while snuggling into her shoulder, his nose tickling her neck.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAEW6bOex2eC
Though he didn't realize that his sudden movements had terrified the barely awake girl. Seeing his mistake and her scared confused expression his face softened, an unknown emotion briefly flashing through his eyes. Only making his steely grip on her even tighter. He didn't want to be separated from her. She was too much like his own. He couldn't bare to loose her just like he did his mother.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA6PpkgpeZNv
Previously he didn't believe in reincarnation but now he was starting to think such things were plausible.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAIsaWrEVu1G
"H-Hey Umm, a-aren't you a little too close? C-Can you speak... Umm... Further away? P-Please?" She spoke meekly snapping him out of his thoughts as she practically sweat dropped in nervousness.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAGsn5HZmT5H
"Nyet," He blatantly said ignoring her.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAUPRSF2xqGv
"Umm...Can I ask w-why?" She questioned hesitantly.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAJb8W2KDBRM
"I simply don't v'ant to." He told her with rather like a petulant child; which he was.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAtVkjRhGCuQ
"But... I-I don't even know you." She told him seriously confused and kinda scared. What could he possibly want from her?
151Please respect copyright.PENANAY8NsHhOd4l
"Z'en tell me your name," He murmured in reply to her concern.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAfamjpONyIB
"Umm... I-It's Silla," She told him rather skittishly a innocent blush growing on her cheeks from embarrassment. He was rather good looking, and she couldn't help but innocently stare at him with her big doe eyes for some reason.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cr9uHMA6R
"What's yours?" She asked the older boy with her childlike curiosity slightly tilting her head.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAQL4xLU2xsI
"Declan. But you can call me Del~". For a split second She swore he sniffed her hair but ignored it and played it off as her imagination. She didn't smell that bad did she?
151Please respect copyright.PENANAyWPGIw1AjN
Though she didn't think anything farther of his strange tendency's and actions because he had made her laugh and smile with his funny way of saying things.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA4NYMsscqqx
Though sudden noises engulfed them, completely capturing their attention. Their greeting was cut short due to the metal door slamming open and startling them. Loud clattering and clanged rush of footfalls.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAiCsRIfMQMU
From the door came two burley frightening men. They both had greasy hair and rotted out teeth. Along with sprinkled blood stains on their clothes. One of the men went up to a woman situated on the floor and roughly grabbed her arm. "They've sold this one," he spoke grinning with yellow teeth. Declan knew these men all too well. He also knew that they liked to sell already purchased slaves.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAxtvMFNwq8O
The woman shrieked and thrashed around as they dragged her out the door. Silla immediately stiffened in fear as she watched. Her body wanted to run fast to safety of the alleyways. Sensing this Del's hands slid up to her shoulders, giving the girl a reassuring squeeze. Thankfully she remained where she was not drawing any attention to herself.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAAsInJne4fO
Once they left Del sat up and looked over at her with sharp eyes while scanning the area.
"Your coming v'ith and we need to leave now," he spoke demandingly as if he knew they would be in trouble if they didn't.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAxjW2d1vXAh
"W-What?" She questioned confused and shocked. He stood up and took her with him.
151Please respect copyright.PENANACCt2BT5dNn
When she realized he was heading for a cracked window on the other side of the warehouse, she completely panicked. She didn't think he was supposed to take her like this. What if they got in trouble?
151Please respect copyright.PENANAvHh36Aa3zi
"Del? What are you doing? Y-You aren't supposed to do that... R-Right?" She asked him panicking.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAEgRcHYKCCj
Ignoring her, he slowly snuck over to the window and gently lifted her up ushering Silla out to freedom when a loud voice resonated throughout the warehouse, shocking her into a state of fear at getting caught.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA162TsPJ0s1
"Hey! They're trying to escape," a gruff man yelled at them practically zooming through the door.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAq5vo05rAJD
Panicking Del hurried her through the window. But before he could follow her escape the man grabbed onto him pulling him back through the window.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAonArObQQdz
In panic, Silla quickly went to his aid only to be thrown back by the eerie silence. Until sudden lightning came, a brilliant shock of white in the graphite sky, forking silently to the unsuspecting ground - the thunderous boom always calling its warning too late.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAT2OafJ4wjm
She became even more panicked by the coming storm. As the clouds gather she felt her soul stir, the air electrified as it anticipates the quenching storm. Each small raindrop that slowly started to drop from the sky in a mist seemed to kissed her skin.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAp2RUHMHKhZ
In fear, she slowly approached the window, praying that burley man wouldn't suddenly pop out at her. Though the closer she got the more intense the storm became.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAEAypxQqxP7
In mere seconds it was pouring and water washed over her skin so strongly that it felt as if she is in the flow of a river rather than a rain shower, one that leaves her standing yet lets her know that it is here to stay for a while.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAYbMKsMdxJR
Though she jumped in surprise from a sudden movement through the window. A fairly large calloused hand slowly reached out and latched itself on the edge of the window sill. Hanging on for dear life.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA7u6Pdirb0f
Realizing who it was she ran over to the edge looking down seeing a slightly battered Declan.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAmSyUNZYJWw
Relief streamed through her body as she helped lift her new friend through the window. Once he was out she swiftly latched her thin weak arms around him not letting go. They held onto each other tightly; after their meeting they didn't think they would be able to tolerate the unbearable loneliness and solitude this time. Even after one day they had started rely on each other physically and emotionally.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAWbNz69DEfn
Human being were definitely social creatures and without human interaction they wouldn't last long.
151Please respect copyright.PENANArj0ncVAopW
Even the rain and sudden lightning didn't cause Declan or Silla to move apart. Behind them the lightning came like a rip in the inky night, as if behind the dark canvass was a brilliant light just waiting to flood through any crack no matter how small.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAH6Wt5kcec9
The small young girl was especially clingy and held onto him for dear life, small tears in her eyes as she nuzzled her cold nose into his warm fuzzy jacket. After almost loosing the only companion she had had in a year she didn't want to be separated.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA8Euo0wZPbR
But Declan knew they had to leave and quickly as he heard the sounds of people yelling inside the warehouse.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAdMsla9Ngau
He separated himself from her and grabbed her arm and took off at a high speed the Young girl wouldn't be able to keep up with long.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAhfLfg9ZLcs
It was around midnight, and they continued to walk around and Silla followed behind Del like a lost puppy not quite sure what else to do. The orange lights of the lamp posts reflected off their skin, as the wind blew through her black locks. They were both soaked and cold from the rain.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAIRc8di59hH
After a few hours of constant movements Declan finally decided to slow their pace as they were almost at the location he was leading them to. Besides, Silla needed a break, so she wouldn't completely deplete her energy.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA0FvARiJJ3S
It was dangerous to be out in the open the way they were but they didn't have anywhere else to go and much to their anticipation it wasn't long until they heard quiet footsteps of someone behind them; probably looking to rob them or worse.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAZQXCCEe9dx
Declan picked up their pace again that soon turned into a full sprint. Silla tried her best to keep up but was particularly left behind. "D-Del! W-Wait," she cried out after him not wanting to get separated, but he didn't seem to hear her or notice that she wasn't behind him.
151Please respect copyright.PENANABsclqlnGOn
Silla tried once more to call out for him before her arm was yanked back, and she turned to see the scruffy face of a drunk old man.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAuFrOyG3TL3
"L-Let me go!" She yelled weakly tears starting to roll down her cheeks.
151Please respect copyright.PENANACExajVMmB9
She screamed but the man only chuckled, his breath reeked of liquor and cigarettes, his teeth were stained yellow and his eyes were red as if he hadn't slept for days. Pushing her forward the man was able to back her into a corner, as Silla's small figure shrunk in fear.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAAw3A96rGlC
"You look delicious~" He told her licking his thin crusty lips. All she could do was cry for Del hoping he would hear her this time; though he seemed no where in sight.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAhkSBTqMjVV
But before he could get any closer Del suddenly came out of no where and pushed her behind him punching the dirty man straight in the face out of pure rage. His eyes turning dark and his knuckles bloodied. The man shouted out in pain as he fell to the ground. At the speed of light Del crawled on top of him and repeatedly punched him in the face as if he was in some sort of animalistic frenzy. The mans blood splattering onto the concrete making her stomach drop.
151Please respect copyright.PENANATghA3r0MQc
"D-Del," she called out his name meekly. Hoping that he would stop before he killed the guy. His eyes were glazed over with crazed blood lust. The look on his face made a cold shiver go down her spin. Slightly afraid, she slowly approached him putting my hand on his shoulder.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAmlhTRvx4rU
He whipped around like lightning and stood up from the ground his eyes wild. Upon seeing her shocked and afraid face he seemingly snapped out of whatever daze he was in as he shook his head back and forth.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZLjdcwdXS
Without thinking Silla's body moved of its own accord; self preservation if you will. Her arms wrapping around him while she burrowed her head into his chest. Trying her best to sooth him by rubbing circles on his back.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAjQaRdix1JL
She didn't want to be next...
151Please respect copyright.PENANAfLYpw6GHub
They continued scurrying along the deserted alleys until Del found the place he was leading them to. He lifted up a piece of tarp to reveal a secret entry way. As they traveled down the dark hallway loud voices could be heard. Like a crowd of people chanting something.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAL7Lw2g663o
At the end of the dark tunnel, they came upon a ring filled with two buff men beating the ever living daylights out of each other. All the while a crowd of people surrounded them cheering and betting money.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA7dT3yxKGka
The men in the ring seemed to be severely scared and missing limbs that looked to have been purposely amputated. In place of the flesh was pure metal. One of them sporting a highly tech metal arm that could move around the same way an actual arm would; except for the fact it was much stronger than flesh and bone.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAYZxnRxLENN
"You stay v'ith me tonight. Especially in the crowds. Okay?" Del told her seriously and she nodded understandingly.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAYG0zdTMZ6u
"I have some quick business to do here. Z'en v'e'll leave," he tells Silla whispering in her ear but before she can decide anything Del grabs her hand and leads her towards a room in the back.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAix5qp5uJjf
Inside the dimly lit room was a simple desk, a few maroon couches, a love seat, and a fancily embroidered fur carpet adorning the floor. The large room didn't have any windows but was lavishly decorated. Even with a simple concrete floor, they'd made it look five star.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAssYQsi3Kpz
Though, she couldn't enjoy it for long because of the loudly blaring music and thick fog that caked the room as an old man puffed smoke from this lit cigar.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAKlt7zwX4AZ
"Knock next time," He suddenly shouted. He was a short, bulky, pale guy with tattoos and short brown hair. He must be at least 5'1, a bit taller than her but he looks to be in his mid to late twenties.
151Please respect copyright.PENANACUz8zp1tnH
What caught Silla off guard the most was the large tattoos visible on his skin; she had never seen so many on one person before. In the past tattoos were just a form of body modification where a design is either purely decorative, symbolic, or pictorial.
151Please respect copyright.PENANATLlZNUfE9S
But nowadays tattoos had much more meaning than simple art. The amount of ink you had showed people where you ranked in the City Of Bones social hierarchy. Which went to show neither Declan or her had any tattoos; telling everyone that they were barely bottom feeders.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAgUl2H1gbFA
"Declan since you're from the upper ring I need you to verify that these are real Crites and not fakes," the man spoke handing the boy some currency continuing to blow smoke in their faces.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAF0j7cP9klY
Declan was from the upper ring? This was quite a shock to the young girl. If he lived there why was he down here in this junk yard? He could've done anything he wanted but stayed in the lower ring, there wasn't anything special about this place!
151Please respect copyright.PENANAzFip9Xu3pU
Most streets were covered in trash and graffiti. Housing was practically stacked on top of each other. The lower ring was basically a giant slum as small as it was.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAs8DM4tCd0S
Silla tugged on Del's shirt with the hand that's resting on his back beneath his jacket, trying to signal him to explain. Though he continued to ignore her.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAFGqlA9LA7T
"Who's that with you," The man suddenly questioned making the young kids freeze in their tracks. Del suddenly looked over at her silently telling her with his eyes not to speak.
