They both stop, the woman readying her dagger, and the man drawing a straightsword
"Another monster?" the woman inquired
English
-
He fell out of the tree and into a bush laden with snow. He peeked his head out the top. "Ma'am, do I look like a monster?" he asked, tilting his head.
-
"You do. You look like the rest of your kind that left the mountain....."
-
Edited by Quincy_Frost: 12/29/2016 12:42:16 AM"I never left any mountain ma'am. Only place I ever left besides my home was a cursed research facility." he said, crossing his arms, a little offended.
-
"Really? Excuse me then. you remind me so much of the monsters who freed themselves from their prison"
-
"The only prison I ever escaped from was the prison of my own thoughts but that's beside the point. Do you want help finding Alex and Cassandra or no?" he said, stepping out of the bush.
-
"How do you know their names?" The man inquired, with a little hint of aggression in his voice
-
"Because they're both my friends. And your reaction confirmed we're talking about the same people. I should be able to take you to Cassie now, but Alex...he'll take more time to find.." he replied. He said the last part rather sadly, with a hint of anger towards someone else.
-
"What happened? Where is Alexander?"
-
"A lot of things happened. I don't know where he is and I don't suggest trying to find him yourself. A friend of his is working on that and...well, she's a violent one who doesn't like it when people hurt her friends." He paused for a second. "You do know of their changes in...appearance, correct?"
-
"No? What do you mean?" The woman asked, rather anxiously
-
He sighed. "It'll be easier if I just show you.." he said, taking out a few polaroids out of his pocket. There were three pictures. One of him and Alex by a campfire, another of Beta reading a book on her bed, smiling up at the camera, and the last one was of Alex and Cassandra standing next to each other outside of Ry's ship.
-
They both stared in shock "Alex....." Said the woman, sobbing, as she embraced the man "We...we knew they'd been taken away...."
-
"They're still themselves. You people honestly need to stop being so racist. Now, if you would like to see your daughter before something else tragic happens to her, I suggest you follow me. Please, try to be nice, she's been through a lot."
-
They hardened "Those monsters.....they're why we lost them in the first place!" The man tried to calm the woman down "Idris, please, they were only trying to free themselves"
-
He sighed. "You didn't answer my question."
-
"Yes, we'll go visit her....how is she?" The woman asked
-
"She's doing quite well, actually. I think her seeing you might cheer her up a little more. Unfortunately, we'll have to walk back up those stairs."
-
She nodded, and both of them followed you. The man removed his helmet, and the woman took off her hood The man was chiseled and stern-looking, while the woman had a kinder, softer look about her. They both had blond-ish hair, and the man had blue eyes, the woman had lavender eyes
-
He gave them a brief smile, trying to be friendly as he led them to the ship. -timeskip to the ramp- He knocked on the door. "Cassie? Ry? Leone? Anybody home?"
-
Nada answered "Hi Quincy!" Idris tilted her head "What an adorable little thing!"
-
"Hello Nada, its nice to see you again. Is Cassie home?"
-
She nodded, and Beta's voice was audible "Come in!" Both of them started, and entered the ship, moving closer
-
Quincy walked in ahead of them. "Cassie? I have some people who'd like to see you." he said.
-
She looked up, her swollen belly making it hard for her to get up "Oh?" "C-cassandra? Is that really you?" her eyes widened "Mom? D-Dad? Oh my god!"
-
"Easy Cassie! Remember who you're carrying in there. I'll help you up." he says, aiding her in getting off the couch.
