Amadi grinned. "I like a woman who knows her fire water.
"Does that mean you want to go with them?"
Amadi looked over at his best friend. They were close, probably closer than they expected to get to each other. He knew Dieter could live without him though. He still had Megan waiting for him back in Cyclonia. Amadi didn't have much of anything.
"Only if Zara will let me," he said.

Despite the fact that Zara's stomach was queasy, she was in shock from her leader's death, her body was fatigued and her brother was just starting to cry over Darak, she sighed and almost chuckled.
"O- only if you can deal with Sak." She looked at Amadi, his grin making her smile a bit. "I'm warning you, he's flamboyant but he's my brother and here to stay in my life."

"He can't be any worse than Ladybug. I lived three years with the kid pining pathetically over a lost cause."
"You're such a bitch," Blaine snipped.
"Yeah, so are you." Dieter walked up to Amadi and shook his hand. "I'm going to miss you. Not many one-armed pilots in Cyclonia."
"You'll live without me."
"You take care of my boy here," Dieter said to Zara.

"Yes I can." Zara smiled, her eyes still quite moist from her break down.
Sak sniffed and looked up. "I KNEW you had something going on with some guy." He said to Zara. Zara just smiled, rubbing a bruise on her arm.
Sak stood up and went over to the three. He didn't understand why, but the shock sank in then dissolved oh-so fast on the two. Nikilo and Darak were dead, but their mourning for them went fast. The aftershock would bit their asses later.
"I hope you don't have to do corpse clean up." Zara said to the Harbingers. "I'd be a shame if Darak and Nikilo didn't get a military funeral."

"I think coming back short one man will be proof enough of what we accomplished here," Dieter said.
By now Beck had gotten up and returned to Blaine's side. He didn't speak, but stared intently at Amadi and Zara.
"Don't worry, Grim Reaper." Amadi put his arm around her waist. "I'll take good care of her."

the first character i finished drawing for second self club is in my scraps on dA)
Zara stared intently back at Beck for a bit before speaking.
"Hey, um.... can you see Darak? Is he here?" She asked, not taunting him but being sincerely curious.
Sak kicked some dirt and looked north, the direction of their ship.
"I'm guessing you blew out the engine." Sak said to Blaine. "That's going to be a problem. We'd have no way of getting off the terra." He said.

Beck shook his head. "He is not with them. They did not keep him."
"I suppose we could fly you home," Blaine offered. "Our ship bears no insignia, so we would go unnoticed in Atmosian skies."
"And I'd like to fly the Silent Night one last time."

Zara almost felt disappointed in Darak for not staying behind. Maybe he had no choice, but she wasn't going to dwell on that.
"That sounds good." Sak said. "Zara."
"I don't mind one bit." She said. "As long as we don't get caught.
Zara's eyes darted to Darak's body.
"Why- How... Um... What are we going to do with...?" She tried not to catch herself crying.

"Okay, we'll wrap your guys up and take them with us," Dieter said.
Blaine turned and climbed back down the cliff. He wasn't going to touch those bodies, not with blood all over them.
"He's such a little shit."
Soon Darak and Nikilo were stored on the ship, each placed under a bench. Blaine sat on the medical cot as far away from the bodies as he could. The large man approached him.
"You need to be changed."
"I'm fine."
The large hand grabbed the little wrist. "You know the rules."
"Let go you fat bitch! You're hurting me!"

Sak sat with Zara on the other bench and sighed.
"Sak."
Sak looked at his twin. He sighed and blinked. "What?"
"Do you feel like we just got a get-out of free pass?" She asked. "I mean, it's weird, because I'm still... jittery inside that Nikilo and Darak are.. you know..."
"I know, Zara."
"There wasn't even a warning. It was just... BANG. Gone. There isn't even a wall between death. You either are alive or aren't and-"
"I KNOW, ZARA." Sak crossed his legs and fought tears. He might be effeminate, but he wasn't one to cry.
The two sat very quietly until Sak spoke up to her, but he was quiet.
"Did Beck say things like mom did?"
"..." Zara still had her face in her hands.
"Zara?"
"No. They were different. I don't know what to believe when two people say two different things but are just as overly zealous." She said, curling into a fetal position on the bench and putting her head between her knees.
"What do you think?"
"I don't want to think of anything of the sort, Sak."

"Stop it!"
Dieter noticed a dark stain growing on Blaine's uniform. "Shit, one of you get over here and help me. You, boy, help me."

"ME?!" Sak blinked.
"You heard the man." Zara said and pushed her brother toward Dieter and Blaine." She sat on the bench again and sighed.
Suddenly there was a loud, blood curdling cry from Blaine and Zara knew what that meant. She had turned her head over to the direction of the cry to see

"Stop it! Get if off me!" he shrieked.
"Calm down, Ladybug, just calm down! Cherry," Dieter addressed Sak with the new nickname, seeing as he couldn't waste time remembering his real one. "Hold him, okay?"
Dieter ripped the old curtain that was used to hide the medic corner. He attempted to tie it around Blaine's eyes, but the boy was moving around too much. "Damn it, Cherry, I said hold him! We have to keep him from seeing the blood."

"Well SORRYYY!" Sak tried to hold Blaine down by pinning his shoulders down. Zara zipped over and pinched a pressure on Blaine's arm, paralyzing the skinny boy for a moment while Dieter managed to get the curtain over his eyes.
"That's better." Zara sighed, but nearly froze, feeling the cold presence of Beck next to her now

"Can't count on queers to do anything right," Dieter grumbled. He started to take Blaine's uniform off. "Can you at least get the bandages out of that box there?"
"You are always so rough," Beck said. "You have to be careful with fragile things."

"I think he'll be fine." She said. "Sometimes fragile things don't cooperate." She patted Beck's shoulder as if the two were good buddies and went back to her bench.
Sak decided that he didn't want to talk to Zara, so he waited around the medical wing in case he was needed again.
"So wait, where are we going?" Zara asked Amadi.

Small whimpers escaped Blaine, like he was trying not to cry.
"C'mon Cherry, toss one up here. You change the one on his leg."
There were new bruises on him just from the scruff he'd been through today. The hole at his liver was rudely discolored, a sign it was fighting infection.
"Your sister did a number. He was pretty upset. Kid likes to look his best, 'cept he doesn't think we know that. He always tries to be soft and pretty. All for some guy who won't give him a second glance. You be careful with him."

"You should have seen her when I tried to steal her diary when we were elevan." He said. "I STILL have scars." He laughed a bit, but saw Zara was shooting daggers at him from her eyes.
"UUuuuhhhh.... WOW! Look at that awesome closet door over there!" He tried to run to escape Zara's glare, but he heard Dieter growl and he went back, hoping Zara wasn't planning something.
She wasn't. She slouched in her seat and felt her lids grow heavy. She tried to stay awake but eventually dozed off.
But she eventually fell off the bench. "OUCH!" SHe yelped. She blinked a few times, awake now and looked over to Sak.
"How long has it been since I fell asleep?"
"Not even five minutes."
"Where are we going anyway?"

(sorry, neighbors left their dog outside. had to go take care of it)
"Hey baby, come stand by me." Amadi motioned to Zara. "The view's real nice. We'll see home in just a few minutes."
Blaine felt two sets of hands on him. He recognized the rough ones, but the others weren't the usual cold. "Is that other one touching me? Get him away from me! I hate him!"
"Ladybug, it'll only take a second."
"He's a selfish, horny bitch!"

YOU MEANIE! xD jk)
Zara stood up and walked up next to Amadi. She smiled at the sight of the sun being low in the horizon, the suns rays having burned colors of pink, red, orange and purple in the clouds. She happily sighed and grinned.
"It's gorgeous, isn't it?"
"OH for the love of crap! I was only trying to keep you from shooting me!" He barked. "It worked, didn't it?" He tried not to glance at Nikilo's and Darak's wrapped up bodies. What could those two have done to stay alive? He wondered. It didn't matter anyway, he decided. The past was behind them, even though it had happened just a few hours ago. Sak was waiting for a time where he could be alone in some room so he could break down.
"Here." Sak handed Dieter the hydrogen peroxide he asked for and waited around to be bossed again. He looked around the ship and saw Beck on another bench. He slipped away from Dieter and Blaine a bit with out being noticed.
"Hey." He quietly said to Beck. "Can I ask you a question?" He asked the blond one.

He let out a bored sigh. "I suppose you can. I you feel you must."

"What exactly made you want to um.... There are some ghosts that protect Zara, right? My mom never told me much but Zara told me what our mom told her about them..." He said, sincerely curious and concerned. "Why can't Zara see them?"

His blonde hair shifted from side to side as he shook his head. "No, there are no ghosts that protect her. You must abandon this fantasy. Ghosts do not protect, you know." Beck cupped Sak's jaw in his hand, stroking his cheek with his thumb. "Dear boy, you ask questions you wish to not know the answers to. She cannot see them because they have not been presented to her. She has not seen into their eyes and felt their angry blows. You should find comfort in that she cannot see what will kill her. There is no greater fear than what we are not meant to know."

Sak pulled away from him and sighed, frustrated.
"But that's what our mother said. It can't be a coincidence that she saw ghosts too. Our mom never lied about stuff. Not once." He said. "And who are they? The ghosts, I mean? Who were they once and why are they so fixed on trying to hurt Zara?"
Zara turned her head to look at everyone behind her. She saw Sak talking to Beck and sighed angrily.
"Great." She mumbled sarcastically.

"Their intent is often misinterpreted, you see. Those who do not understand assume the best, you know, to make themselves feel better. Who are they? That's easy, dear boy. They are you and me. They are regular people who once were, but are no more. They are held here, but what I cannot say. Your sister is just unfortunate. They choose those who open themselves. Once you open the door it cannot be closed."
