My OC Tournament Round 1 Poll 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Information below the cut:
First, here is the Picrew link! I love this Picrew, so you'll probably see it a lot, lol.
Naivi (she/her): She's from All's Fair, and she's gets into an enemies to lovers relationship with Chess. The Powerpoint is a little old, so some of the info isn't correct anymore. She's a lesbian who is half human, half Snake (the species on the powerpoint), and she's been hurt badly by the other species. So much so, that she decides that the other species are evil beyond repair, and she wants to destroy all of them and keep humans alive. To do that, she restarts the prosthetics experiments with Aeflin, not knowing that Aeflin is a Shade who wants to use her as a scapegoat. Luckily, during the story, Chess convinces her that she's being used and that maybe destroying the other sentient species is a bad thing. She's working on it.
Even though she is an antagonist for half of the story, Naivi is the one who talks the most about how important friends are. She has a soft spot for Chess (totally a crush), and she's the first person to show Chess that there is kindness in the world. She's the one who convinces Chess that she needs friends, lol. She's also an engineer who wants to make the magic from the prosthetics less damaging to the people who have them.
Luneth (they/them): They're from Concealed Darkness, and they're friends with Cassian and Tamra. They're a Tenebrus, which means they have darkness magic, and they have to be wary of the empire since it uses Tenebrus as soldiers. They also (spoiler alert) are a half-Celestial, so they have the light and lightning magic and can turn into a small dragon. Which paints an even bigger target on their back.
They're quiet and don't trust easily. And something bad happened in their past that they won't talk about. They have nightmares that Tamra has convinced them to draw and talk about like it's a story. They're very close to Cassian and Tamra, and honestly, all they want is to find someplace safe to hide from the empire.

Hmmm Mellow Utau, Carol Metaron or Aiden Chaton
Can do!! (picrew linked here)
Tumblr media
"So Miss Whitefield what seems to be the problem?" Mellow paused from his book as he heard Henry walk in, his phone pressed to his ear. Why was he calling Maneki? Putting his novel down he listens in while Henry takes a pause. "A baby you say?" Henry sighs, listening to Maneki. "No we don't have a machine that can age people." Mellow peeked up as Henry rubbed his temple. "I also don't believe a factory is safe for an infant.......thank you for trusting me but-" He let out a sigh. "Ok. Come over, we'll try to help. Good bye." He then turned the phone off and looked to Mellow. "Did......something happen?" Henry gave him a frown that he didn't seem mad at all. "Apparently a potion went wrong at Royal Sword and some students were affected by it. One of which was Miss Shimomura." Before Mellow could panic Henry placed a hand on his shoulder. "Not in a way you think. She'll be here with Maneki and you'll understand."
Tumblr media
"Ok lemme get this straight. You want us.......to turn Utau back to normal?" Leroy stared at Maneki like she grew an apple on her head as she put her hands together. "Please? You're the smartest people I know!" Mellow just stood there, he should be paying attention to Maneki but.....his girlfriend was a baby. "Bebby bar!!" She cooed in the most precious voice he ever heard as she held up her teddy to Henry as he smiled. "Yes it's very cute." She giggled as she waddled around, clinging to her bear as she took in her new surroundings. Babbling to herself as Henry looked to Leroy. "You're friends with Vil, surely you can ask him for a potion." The vice leader groaned. "Yeah but I don't think they're gonna want to help." Maneki smiled as Utau came to her side now sucking her thumb. "Then let's ask him together!! Four heads are better then one!!" Mellow quickly squirmed, Vil was........a little scary. "I- If you mind, I can watch Utau while you talk to him." The trio looked to him, then Utau who was singing to herself. Maenki then smiled. "I don't mind!" He let out a sigh of relief before kneeling to the girl's level. "Utau? Do you wanna see some butterflies?" The little bunny's blue eyes lit up. "Buggy!!" she squealed as she ran to Mellow who giggled. Leroy rolled his eyes with a smile. "She likes you even as a baby."

hey! pippa here :-)
i was wondering how common it was for a system to have very few people, like under five. also, whether it’s possible for it to be very rare that anyone other than the core (i think that’s the term) is in control?
Hi pippa/helena I am Quinn, I'm also the core, or at least the most like our core. Systems can come in all shapes and sizes, I am part of a traumagenic system (meaning my system formed from trauma), and you'll find that there is a lot of hate and discourse about traumagenic/endogenic systems (we personally try to stay out of all that). in any case, if you are also traumagenic then jake and whoever else might be there formed so that you didn't have to deal with all the trauma all the time. That doesn't mean that having only a few headmates (parts, alters, people in your head, whatever term(s) you chose to use) is because you didn't have enough trauma, it could be a bunch of things, but please don't feel invalid because you only have a few.
-switch lol, thea they/she now-
it's also possible that you guys haven't learned how to unmask yet, some signs of that include
feeling foggy all the time
not being sure who you are at any given moment
feeling like you're faking it
jake being able to pretend to be you very easily and quickly
it's very common when you first realize you're a system, because the point is not knowing you have headmates. So, maybe Jake is just the most vocal/different headmate, and in learning that you'll discover more.* or maybe not, maybe it's just you 2 and that's okay too!
as for your second question yes, that is also possible, and in that case your core would also be your 'host' or the person who fronts most often
quick side note, core is typically used to refer to the child who was there before splitting (usualy around 7), and from splitting to realizing you're a system it's assumed that a bunch of people fronted until you realized. Then the host, which is usually (but not always) the person in your system that goes by your birthname, identifies with that gender, etc. Anyway, hosts are technically the people/person that front the most often, but we use it like "the people that the rest of us pretend to be like"
.switch back to Quinn.
There's also stuff called co-consciousness, which would be like you can hear jake in your head but you are the one in control, and co-fronting, which would be like you are both in control and talk to each other.
So yeah I hope that answered your questions, sorry for the late reply again, I think we're in different time zones. I can link you to some recourses/answer more questions if you want, just let us know
edited by Quinn: *yeah that seams like that's what happened after reading your posts, colored text is a really good way of keeping track, good job! im proud of all of you for figuring this out, and for making picrews (we still can't make picrews and we've been aware for going on 8 months lol). i just want to remind you all that being foggy is okay. not knowing who's who is okay. not knowing when switching happens is okay. don't beat yourselves up about it, it'll come with time and practice, and it wont hurt anything if you accidentally mix it up and type as someone else. you'll learn and move on. It might sometimes feel like you're faking it, that'll also fade with time. remember: people know if they're faking something. people know if they intentionally set out to fake something. if you didn't, you're not faking. If it turns out you guys are not a system but it turns out it's something else, it will not hurt the anyone, you'll just have made a mistake in figuring out who you are, and that's okay. We love you and we're rooting for you 😘🤗.

this is rowan :] (playlist)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
picrew link
the picrew on the left is him at the beginning of the story and the one on the right is after he's suffered The Horrors (tm) because this specific story is like a greek tragedy. every character (especially rowan) is trapped by the Narrative Curse and they're doomed to become part of the cycle that both made and destroyed their predecessors and their fates were determined before their stories even began and their endings were already written but the love was there. anyway
if you've seen me ramble abt the 2013 movie epic, then you'll know that I was annoyed at how something with such incredible worldbuilding could be sooo spectacularly shitty. so some of the elements in this were inspired by the movie but most of it is shit I came up with. but anyway they're a bunch of really tiny people who live in a huge sentient forest that's magically and intrinsically connected to them in really deep and profound ways (sort of a "I am a part of you and you are a part of me" kinda vibe because like .... the forest Created Them and they care for the forest and when they die their bodies decompose and give back to the forest and it's a CYCLE. everything in this is a fucking cycle btw.) but the king or queen of the forest is The Most Connected to the forest and they can communicate with the forest itself and all of its moving parts, and when the king/queen dies, their spirit merges with the sentient forest, so really the forest "spirit" is just an amalgamation of hundreds of past kings and queens and the actual forest itself, and nobody really knows if the forest was sentient without the spirits of the kings and queens or if it had always been that way. but the forest chooses each new king/queen from the people by sensing who's more connected to the forest than others, and who's most fit to rule. by tradition, the current king/queen takes the newly chosen ruler to live at the mother tree (yes, that's based off of actual mother trees in nature :] because I think they're cool as fuck) with them to be trained in politics/mastery over their connection to the forest. the current ruler remains in power until their successor fully masters their abilities, which usually doesn't happen until they're well into their twenties or thirties. then when the new king/queen is old enough (usually around fifty or older), the forest chooses a successor for them to train, and the cycle happens all over again
as you may have guessed, rowan is the next successor to the throne. but before he was chosen to be the next king by an all-powerful, all-knowing sentient forest, he was a knight-in-training alongside his best friend willow (the knights also have extensive lore but if someone asks abt willow I'll explain them in his post instead since it's more relevant to him). they started out as rivals during training, but over time became very close friends. however, once the forest chose rowan as the new king, everything changed. rowan was whisked away to the mother tree to be trained as the new king under the tutelage of the current ruler, queen olive (my wife <3), and willow was left behind to finish his training. because of their separate duties (rowan having to learn how to rule an entire kingdom and be the spiritual bridge between the people and the forest, and willow doing extensive training missions and shit) they didn't see each other for an entire year before running into each other during a celebration at the mother tree. they spent the entire time catching up and getting reacquainted, and willow decided to participate in the trials* that were coming up.
*the trials are how each ruler's inner guard is chosen; knights who want to be a bodyguard compete through a series of challenges, including speed/endurance/strength tests, contests of wit, and gladiator-style arena matches. at the end, the king/queen in training can choose 2 or 3 from the top 5-10 knights who competed. the trials are basically the forest's competitive sport that they all watch and get super invested in, and for the week of competition it's like one big long celebration (kinda like the world cup or olympics)
willow competes in the trials, and rowan gets a front-row seat, being the guy who has to choose someone from the ranks of competitors and all. there's 110% a scene where willow walks out onto the arena shirtless and rowan's like O.O
and obviously, willow ends up as one of the top finishers, and rowan chooses him and one another, sienna (<333) to be his inner guard. from there, they all live at the mother tree together and engage in Shenanigans (tm) as they basically just. fall in love and goof off and be kids.
but then. they get one hell of a reality check when queen olive is murdered by someone on the inside, and rowan, still a teenager with very little grasp on his powers/skills, becomes king. overnight he suddenly has the entire kingdom on his shoulders, and a murderer/traitor within his own walls to find, and war brewing with the neighboring kingdoms, and his only allies are willow, sienna, and ash (head of the guard, and formerly queen olive's bodyguard/wife). and this is where the themes of narrative cycles and being consumed by the forest really come into play because rowan is shoved into the cycle of Being Part Of The Forest and being consumed by it. and losing himself to the forest and the spirits of the past kings and queens. and the more he masters his powers, the whiter his hair gets (both as a physical symptom of the power changing him, and as a symbolic thing of how the throne ages/drains him even though he's still so so young. plus I'm a sucker for white hair).
I'm still not exactly sure how his story ends, because on the one hand, tragic endings make me soooo unwell but on the other, there's really no other way for this story to go. he's part of the forest and he'll be consumed by it, body and soul. just like olive before him, and the queen before olive, and the king before her, and the queen before him. this was always how his story is gonna end, even if it makes me want to bite through my drywall
send me a !! and I'll introduce you to an oc!

Yay! Thank you for the opportunity to make this! Unfortunately, I don't know how to draw (I've been trying to learn but as I'm in my final year of University and working on my project I can't find the proper time), so you'll just have to settle for a description and the most accurate Picrew i could make!
Name: Bera Anakali
Pronouns: She/They
Age: 21
Hair: Big, long iridescent purple dreads (typically in a messy bun.)
Eye colour: Bright Pink
Height: 180 cm
Sexuality: Aroace, has a queer platonic partner.
Personality: She's the kind of person that's very calm, almost to the point of being laid back, and generally gets more cheery the more you know them. Except when it comes to really exciting/challenging tools, then they're the Itunear equivalent of Hatsune Mei.
Occupation: Recently hired Junior Engineer at Lotus Eater Industries, has been there for 3 months! They typically work in the Quirk and Non-Military Tools department, but can be found hanging out or sketching blueprints (she's got a bunch) with the guys from the Mecha department from time to time (They're trying to get her to transfer but the department is holding onto them for dear life). A lot of Their superiors think they've got a lot of potential!
Relations: She's Hitoshi's older cousin! (if you'll allow it.)
Quirk: Limited Storage. It's a quirk that let's them summon and access a number of slots in an inventory like space where they can store a certain amount of various items. It cannot be used on living things. They currently have access to 38 Slots and can store about a 100 items in each slot.
Here's the Picrew:

Tumblr media
the rain pours down harshly as you make your way through the forest, water beating mercilessly down on your skin and clothes.
ahead was a small shack, worn and torn by the elements but kept up with well enough to still be lived in.
without much of a thought, you wrap your knuckles upon the ebony door. inside was the soft humming of a radio and the boiling of a tea kettle. the music seems to turn down, but no one comes to your aid.
upon opening the door you see a simplistic set up; a kitchenette, a couple dozen cans of tuna, a bathtub full of water and.. other questionable liquids, and a small hammock set up in the corner.
a human leg and a pair of tails are sticking out of the hammock, and following after the limb you find a pale face following your movements.
they're is silent, but a small cat monster with flaming blue ears pops up on their stomach. "oi! and what do you think you're doing breaking into our shack?" it snarls, preparing it's small paw to attack you.
the person mumbles something to the feline, seemingly putting it off it's edge. it lets out a whine before turning back to you. "welcome to our humble abode," the monster grumbles as it jumps around to reach the kitchenette. "allow us introduce ourselves."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ picrew link! ]
meet ELVIRA and GRIM, a strange pair that spend their weekends in the forest helping lost souls find their way with the help of their ghostly— and demon— friends.
no one know much about the two other than the monster usually seems to speak for the woman whenever attending their classes at NIGHT RAVEN COLLEGE.
Tumblr media
once the rain begins to dwindle into a light drizzle, the pair leads you through the woods to a new location. rays of the sun shine brightly through the spaces between the leaves as the crunching of sticks and twigs fill your ears.
"let us guess," the monster you've come to know as grim grumbles from his position on the beastwoman's shoulder. "you're some lost soul that managed to find your way to this neck of the woods, yeah?"
elvira walks into a creek, turning and extending a hand to you while motioning to the stones wedged into the water. "you wanna find some way to lay your soul to rest via acts of service."
you silently nod as you take the woman's hand, stepping cautiously on the wet surface.
"well, you'll have to wait until we reach the castle. a real huge thing i tell ya! all you can eat in the dining hall, plus the chefs and servants will treat you real, real nice!"
grim raises to on his hind paws and spreads his arms up in the air. "you'll love it there! an eternity there doesn't sound to bad there, right?"
"an eternity?" you repeat quietly, letting go of elvira's hand once it was guaranteed you wouldn't slip.
".. yes and no.." the woman answers in a small voice. ".. you'll be able to come and go as you please. consider it a hotel. of course, there are rules you'd have to go by in order to prevent yourself from wandering the world as a lost spirit for the rest of your existence."
letting out a sigh of acknowledgement, you decide to ask about the two to make some sort of conversation.
Tumblr media
elvira is a panther beastman who's currently seventeen, born january thirtieth (aquarius).
she isn't from twisted wonderland, but rather from a world that's almost entirely covered by a thick rainforest. despite this, she has resided in this world for the past five years.
she's not a stickler for pronouns, but will commonly go by she/her by the mod.
she currently resides in the ramshackle dorm as a second year at nrc. she excels in animal languages and astrology, using them as a way to make her way through the dense forest.
elvira guides and assists souls as a way to get money, learning about it through sam.
though she has both a older brother and younger sister, she considers the shadow man to be one of her siblings.
as a shy girl, elvira struggles with talking to people who aren't dead or she communicates with on a daily basis. due to this, she relies on grim and the ghosts who hang around school grounds to talk for her.
she's of average height, somewhere between 165cm [5'5] and 170cm [5'7].
her unique magic is called defy it all, allowing someone to defy gravity for a set amount of time.
she's the embodiment of broke college student, even if her job is well-paying. her sleep schedule isn't consistent, she runs off five pitchers of coffee, and would probably drop dead like the ghosts she guides if she were to do anything physical.
Tumblr media
"we're here." the woman grunts, pushing back a thick, unkempt hedge to allow you to pass through.
a large mansion is all that fills your view, ghosts of all shapes and sizes walk and fly around the area. animals of all kinds seem to be trotting around as well. in the corner of your eye, you can see a bear, squirrel, and deer laying on top of each other as a larger ghost strokes the animal's fur.
you're brought out of your stupor by grim. "let's go! we don't have all day! viper is gonna have our heads if we aren't back to help him with our alchemy project!"
elvira shakes her head as she greets a few ghosts, making her way through the beings as she leads you to the front doors of the mansion.
biting her tongue, elvira points towards a check-in center with a lounge. "if you keep going, you can get yourself a room— completely personalized to fit your soul— and whenever you find yourself aware of what you need in order to pass on, come back down, tell the receptionist, and we'll be sure to answer your call during weekends."
grim waves back to you as elvira turns on her heel, making sure to grab a can of tuna that was offered to him by one of the ghosts. "follow the rules and don't get kicked out!" he exclaims with a full mouth before the grand doors close.

'Countdown': New chapter for "Redemption in a Spirit in a Cold War" is out!
"Countdown"
Tumblr media
"I maybe got one eye but I'll kill you, Sarah!"
Chapter Summary: Time's running out for Yirina & Park as London is in danger of getting destroyed with the Greenlight asset by Sarah...
Link of the Picrew here!
To read it on AO3, click here!
Words : +4300
Taglist : @snowgoldwaylon , @clxudtea , @efingart
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
London is in big danger now...Perseus...Bellamy & Sarah...their whole presence here was to find the Greenlight nuke that was hidden under the British parliament while the whole government is in town to blow it up, killing millions of civilians & bringing the United Kingdom to its knees in the Cold War. A project that I thought to be out since 1981, coming from the CIA, was still active despite the events surrounding it 3 years ago, a project that I & Zasha inadvertently brought out to Perseus and allowed him to try to blow up Europe with it...and now, I'm trying to get it down again...avoiding him to destroy London...
The only thing that was in me at the moment while Park was leading me to one of a car before getting in it and leave the sector rapidly with Price's quickly formed team...the only thing was just the anger of...having been mistreated, tortured by Bellamy & Sarah, my thoughts about the latter changing to be less friendly with her after the stab in the back she did to all of us. No words were coming out of my mouth as we were going away to join the British Parliament at the Palace of Westminster, Park focused on driving the car and following Price's team van in the streets of London.
She...Park wanted to know more about what happened to me down there in that cell but I stayed silent, away in my thoughts of getting Sarah, Bellamy, and anyone that's with them...what they deserve. I could see the distress in Park's eyes just by looking at her, she was worried, calmer than me despite the situation and I was understanding her on that part. She must have been deadly worried when she learned that I & Zasha got captured but now, I needed to stay focus, my eyes drifting around...
As we were driving to reach the parliament, my gaze fell on the mirror in front of me between me & Park, and by curiosity, I put the mirror in my direction to take a look at my left eye and...and just by looking at it...
"Fuck..." I muttered, discovering how much my eye was looking more like a mess and Zasha was right, my eyes weren't having the same color patterns. The right one was still blue while the left one...it became more very light blue going more into a white color, the vision of it still blurred. "Shouldn't have look at it," I thought to myself, putting my back against the seat.
"You'll be fine, Yiri," Park assured in a normal voice, her eyes staying on the road.
"I'm not sure of it," I said.
"Don't worry," She added, her voice taking a better tone, still sounding to reassure me at the moment.
"My eye is a mess, can't be sure that I don't need to worry about it," I told her, turning my head slightly to the right to look at her. "They injected me with their damn needle in the eye and they kept me awake with the product in the eye," I declared, sounding a bit angry in my voice. "Instead of letting me sleep, they put music in my ears to make sure that I suffer worse,"
"They...they did that?" She demanded.
"Yes," I whispered, my word causing her to clench her fists while having them on the steering wheel, holding it firmly.
"The same music?"
"No," I replied, having guessed that she was referring to a memory of me during our time in Verdansk. "It was different...Only You," I articulated, those two words staying in my mind and as if I could hear it in my ears.
"Only You?" She repeated.
"Can make...all this world...seem right," I started to say, remembering the song in my head before I stops myself by shaking my head. "Sorry, it's just that...I got it in my mind since...since..." I apologized but I cut myself up, the hours have passed since that happened. "A long time," I resumed.
"I'm sorry," Park whispered.
"It's not your fault...it's mine," I claimed in a clear voice, still feeling the blame for the event in the metro and that crash. "It's my fault if I got me & Zasha captured and...someone wounded...and another killed,"
"It's not..."
"No, just...don't, ain't helping," I cut her gently in her words even if she was trying to do her best to make me think of something else as I was looking outside, seeming to soon arrive at our destination. "I know that you want me to think of something else but not here," I told her straight about this. "Now, we just need to stop Sarah & Bellamy to destroy London," I muttered, my head going back into looking in front of me as Park was still looking confused about Sarah's name been mentioned despite after my revelations about it.
"Sarah Stone...I never thought that he got a sister," Park thought to herself, slightly turning her head around for a bit on her right.
"She's crazy, she's dressing in her brother's clothes for his legacy," I exclaimed, a vision of seeing her in that blue outfit with a green hood was disgusting to me. "She played everyone in here, she faked to be friends with us...just to get us in a better way,"
"I thought that she was a friend," Park remarked, me shaking my head at this.
"She played it," I repeated. "Manipulating the files to make sure that we believe that Harry was back from the dead and we bought it," I passed my hands through my face, avoiding touching my left eye at the moment. "She wants to avenge her brother by killing millions of citizens with the very thing that me...you, we swore to stop 3 years ago," I said clearly, Park turning her head with a little smile on it at me.
"We did," She grinned before she looked back at the front of her. "Here...the parliament," She pointed outside with her left hand towards the building at our right, seeing Big Ben's tower from afar. "And the government is here, looking at the security," She commented, seeing outside a lot of policemen and policewomen standing near the building.
"Price and his men are pulling over there," I said, seeing their blue van going to park itself on the right side of the road.
"We should join them, then," Park said before she decides to get the car behind the van a few meters from it.
We stopped the car right behind the van and just by looking at the palace and its surroundings from the car's inside, I was wondering how the CIA could have implemented a nuclear bomb right under the place that the British government is reuniting but that thought went away as Park was taking out from her pocket, an MI6 identification card on a necklace, putting it around her neck before we could go out of the car, going to join Price and his men near the van as some cops were coming to them.
"Excuse me but who are you?" A policeman with a bulletproof vest asked Price as we were arriving near the group. "You have some identifications?"
"We're with the SAS, sir," Price replied to him but the policeman was looking unconvinced with his colleagues behind him.
"Sure, sure, we believe you," The policeman scoffed, thinking that we were joking with him. "Get serious, let me see you all your papers," He demanded, sounding less funny of a sudden.
"Excuse me," Park finally stepped inside the group, going to face the policemen with me. "You don't think that's serious but it's bloody hell right," She affirmed, not happy that we were thought like that. "I'm with the MI6, there's a threat inside a building," She showed the policeman the palace behind him through the gates, her face getting along with her voice.
"How's that?" The policeman suddenly got his voice changed, worried, to be honest.
"A terrorist group entered the building & intend to blow up a nuclear bomb under it," I revealed directly, speaking up and going straight into the subject with the police, seeing in a second their eyes going wide at this.
"We need to enter that building and stop that threat, you have to let us in," Price declared, sounding assertive to the policeman that was looking terrified.
"Uhm...Uhm...sure, sure," He stuttered, his hand going to stretch a bit the collar of his vest. "What should we do? Alert the houses?" He suggested.
"No," I said clearly. "If the government is alerted of that threat, the terrorists could be aware of it & detonate the bomb," I suggested, knowing that it was a big risk to take if the government was aware that a nuke was beneath their feet.
"Good point," Price noted, nodding at me before he looked at Park. "If they're under the building, we should take them on two sides," He proposed.
"There's an entrance near a pier on the Thames, get your men with you to that entrance, it will surely cut them off in the case of an escape from them," Park ordered, pointing towards a direction as we start walking in a group to the portal separating us from entering the palace. "I'm going with Yirina inside the palace," She told them.
"Understood, let's go, everyone," Price agreed before he gestures to his men to follow him inside as the portal got opened by the cops, letting us enter and parting ways with Price's team.
"Uhm, miss, what should we do now?" The policeman's voice came behind us as we were directing ourselves towards the entrance of the palace.
"Alert the security about the threat but they can't alert the government," Park slightly turned around to face him, making her voice clear for him. "Stay here, we're taking care of this," She affirmed before we resumes our walk inside.
"Let's hope that we don't arrive too late," I confided to Park, taking a deep breath as we were arriving near the building, a bit of stress of going inside coming in me. "Not even changed," I commented in a low voice, looking at the state of my outfit that was filled with dirt.
"Let's hope," Park repeated in a low voice before we got in front of the door, some policeman guarding it.
It didn't take a few seconds to let the policemen open the door for us, even after Park showed them her MI6 credentials around her neck before we could step inside the building that was holding a very important reunion of the British government at the moment and it was sure that the stress was coming inside of me just to think of it and that the bomb under our feet could blow up at any moment if Sarah and her team already left the place to be doomed.
Since that Park was the one to know the place perfectly, I followed her around as my thoughts were overwhelming me during my walk behind Park...are we going to stop Sarah in time? That was the main question that came to my mind but...but...we need to stop her, we have to. She's going to nuke London for her revenge...just for her terrorist brother...just for someone...her brother...we have to stop her, everyone knows that and just by looking at Park's walk, she was thinking the same thing.
Then, after only a minute to walk through the building, we managed to arrive at a door that was leading to the underground of the building but we were surprised that the door was kept by two policemen that were very-well armed and protected than the others cops that we crossed paths with, the two looking rather...normal...
"Sorry, miss but this area is restricted to the public," One of the policemen addressed us, putting himself in front of the door as we were arriving near it.
"We're with the MI6, we need to get down, there's a security threat," Park announced, showing off her card to them.
"Sorry, but we can't let you here, it's a private zone," The other policeman in front of me said to her as I was getting suspicious of these guys, now looking different...and not British. "Besides, we got nothing of that sort from a security threat," He explained.
"Hey guys, the bomb is going to be on soon, you should get out," Suddenly, a voice over the radio that was belonging to the guy in front of me went on, a feeling of confusion taking over the two 'cops'...those guys were posing as cops...
"Cops...just fuckers..." I taunted them before I start to give the guy in front of me the first move by hitting him right in the teeth.
Park immediately reacted by also throwing a punch to the other guy face, launching ourselves to take care of these two 'cops' and thankfully, those two weren't in fact a big deal to neutralize, taking only at least 10 seconds to get them out and putting them on the ground before we decide to check them in quickly, seeing that they were Perseus agents undercover...that operation must have been prepared for days...and it's only the beginning for the moment...
"And now?" I demanded to Park after I got up from the guy I was checking.
"Now, it's time to get down but..." She started as her eyes were looking at the two 'cops' on the ground, and then, looking around. "We can't take the risk to let those two escape, there's no cop in here," She said as we were in a part of the building that wasn't having a lot of cops around.
"Meaning?" I narrowed my right eye at her.
"One of us goes down while...while the other stays here to get the two under control before the security gets them," She explained, chuckling for a bit as she put her hands on her pistol. "You stay here," She ordered, cocking her pistol.
"No," I stopped her, shaking my head at her. "I'm the one going down," I volunteered, getting in front of Park to stop her from going down and passing that door.
"Yiri, no...you...you're not..." Park tried to defend herself but I shook my head at this.
"Maybe that I can see with half of my vision, maybe that I should be healed but no...I'm going down," I claimed, taking out my M1911 from my jacket.
"I don't want to lose you," Park whispered in a low voice.
"Me too," I assured her with the same tone, checking up the mag of my M1911, 5 bullets remaining in it. "That's why I'm the one taking the risks,"
"You don't have to do that," Park asserted, putting her hands over my right shoulder to make me change my mind.
"It's my fault that Perseus is going to use Greenlight and..." I snorted, putting the mag back into the gun to load it, moving to face the door and open it. "I'm going," I announced before I start to walk away, not feeling Park's hand on my shoulder as she was seeming helpless to stop me to do what I needed to do.
The stairs that I was using to reach the underground was pretty old, looking like it was never fully maintained to a good shape and it's with cautiousness that I start to go down the stairs, taking care to not miss any steps and going slow in my moves, thinking that at any moments, I could be surprised by a Perseus agent right now and it made me keep my M1911 pointed right in front of me, a look of determination coming on my face.
Once that I reach the underground level, it was at this moment that I needed to be careful, extremely careful since that I can only see right with one eye and...no, it was too late to back down, Sarah needed to stop to detonate that nuke and destroying London. I started to walk in the only direction that was getting offered by me to take, staying aware of any noises that could come around me: the sounds of water flowing through some pipes, a little buzzing getting heard from afar...I stayed careful.
But the more I was advancing, the more the underground wasn't looking old enough, seeing some spotlight and crates around...getting soon accompanied by some noises that were certainly people speaking and it caused me to be silent in my footsteps as I was getting closer to those talks, and then, I put myself behind a crate, arriving near a big room looking like some sewers with in the middle of it...the bomb...and Sarah...only her...in the same clothes as her brother...
"How much time?" There was also a hooded soldier near her, standing up as she was sitting, doing something with the bomb.
"Not so long, we'll be away when it will explode," She replied in a sort of reassuring voice.
"Good to know," The hooded soldier affirmed, passing his hand through his face as Sarah got up but then, some clouds noises came from another hallway at their right. "What's that?" He asked.
"Must be the SAS, good," Sarah presumed as I was thinking the same thing, maybe that Price and his men had to fight to get here. "More useless people to die tonight," She remarked, and that...I don't know why but it provoked something that I couldn't control...rage...causing me to go out of cover, pointing my gun at the two.
"Not in my watch," I spoke up clearly to the two, taking the risk to do this like that.
"What the fuck?" The soldier cursed as he turns around, seeing me arrive in the middle of the room.
"Don't try anything," I ordered, staying at a safe distance from them and keeping the two under my control. "Hands up," I gestured with my M1911 up, seeing that the soldier complied first as Sarah was looking unimpressed.
"Grigoriev..." She smirked at my sight. "A pleasure to see you here, came to admire the show?"  She questioned, not ready to get her hands up at my command
"I'm here to stop you," I affirmed.
"Not sure that it will happen," She told me, staying stubborn and not complying as she got next to the soldier, his hands staying up. "I see...weak," She muttered by looking at the soldier before of a sudden, she got a blade out of her left sleeve...and start to stab to the neck, the soldier.
I could see that she was emotionless to the man that she was stabbing now, not stopping in her move as I was looking terrified at the scene I was watching in front of me...Sarah...literally stabbing one of her own men in front of me and continuing even if the guy was dead, making his blood flow like a fountain as she put him down on the ground before her eyes went to look at me, her face filled with the blood of the soldier.
"You're crazy," I said, lowering my gun at seeing her like that, a pool of blood forming on the ground.
"You don't know me well, Grigoriev," She stated, smirking at me with the blood on her face, passing her right hand on it. "Harry wasn't showing his full potential to the cause, I did what he couldn't do,"
"By destroying London?" I presumed.
"He was a bad man but never, he wanted to burn that city down to the ground," She told me, checking her hands full of blood. "Now, this city will burn...by me...Sarah Stone!"  She claimed loudly to me, getting her head up to form a disturbing smile with her lips.
"No, not with me," I admitted, my hands letting my M1911 go off on the ground.
"The pathetic little lost girl with one fewer eye...against me...in a fistfight?" She lamented my choices before breaking a laugh about this. "Going to be a pleasure to break each of your bones before I let you die here with that bomb,"
"I maybe got one eye but..." I started before I clench my fists, ready to stop her from doing her plans. "But I'll kill you,"
"Let's see that!" She said in a clear voice before we both starts to move in each other direction to get it done.
She was the first one to try a punch at me, throwing her right hand at me at full speed but I managed to avoid it at the last moment by moving myself back behind before she starts to get serious to put me down for good, causing me to stay on the defense for the moment by trying to block at my best the punches and kicks that she was giving me, either succeeding or failing to do so, slowly getting the advantage over me as I found myself blocked with my back against the wall behind me.
The blocks that I was doing to counter her wasn't working anymore as she started to get dirty on me, punching me faster and making me impossible to counter everything from her and hitting me in the chest and my left knee but by chance, I took a moment that she was taking a breath to get away from the wall, avoiding a punch directed to my face and causing her to hit the brick wall with her fist.
"Fuck, you bitch!" She shouted, holding her right wrist with her left hand before she turns her head around to look at me with rage. "You're hard to kill but not impossible," She commented, me catching my breath and trying to keep an eye on her.
"You messed up with me, you're deserving it," I taunted her, what she did to me was enough to make me reach my limit.
"Says the bitch who worked with my stupid brother for years," She exclaimed before she starts to turn around me in a circle at my left, she was trying to get out of my sight. "Man is so manipulative, remember?" She demanded in a normal voice as she was walking on her side faster to get away from me.
"What do you mean?" I asked her, confused as I was trying to keep her insight. "You...you manipulated your own..." I couldn't finish that I received a kick behind my right knee, causing me to fall for a bit on the ground.
"Yes," She replied behind me directly without having finished my question. "He wasn't...very sure...before her little sister came to see him straight," She commented, moving in front of me as I was trying to get up. "Helped him to kill some...useless people...including...a brother from...someone," She smirked at me as I start to think about...Park's brother, William.
"You didn't..." I tried to say before she put me down again on my knees, her hands over my shoulders.
"Oh yes, I did," She told me with a smile before she got at my level. "Made him believe that her pathetic brother hated him, made him murder people...bang, bang, boom," She mimicked before breaking out a laugh from her mouth. "So easy to break, Harry's mind was so easy to break," She taunted as I realizes with her words that... for a long time, she was the one who orchestrated William's death...and put the blame on Harry. "Since that, he thought that he was the boss...until you kill him and got me to get into his boots to make his legacy live,"
"No, you created a monster...and I'll kill you!" I then got myself into a rage and managing to get her hands off my shoulder before I decide to throw myself on her, right into her chest and getting her on the ground, and finding myself on top of her. "That's for Peter...for me...for Park...for everyone you killed!" I shouted loudly, at each punch I was giving to her face, mixing her blood with the soldier's one on her face.
I was giving all of my strength inside of these punches, doing all of my best to make sure that she wasn't going to get out of here alive before she got some nerves to hit me in the chest, stopping me to give her more pain than she deserves before moving her feet to kick me & push me away from her far behind her, making me land at a few meters from her, and then...I saw my M1911 near me...and...I had no choice to take it...
"AAAHH!" Sarah screamed, going to charge me over before I took the M1911 in my hands, and then, I pulled off the trigger, shooting two bullets at her, hitting right in the chest and in the right shoulder. The bullets caused her to stop in her run to look at the bullet holes in her body before falling on her knees as I got up from the ground, gun in my hand.
"That's for everyone," I muttered as I looked at her with desperation.
"You weren't pathetic after all," She said, still sounding stubborn. "Just...stupid...and lost," She proclaimed as I hold my M1911 by the cannon of it. "If not dying by that not-working nuke, the numbers will," She exclaimed before she spits some blood on my clothes, giving me nothing but disgust towards her.
"Just...fucking...die," I declared before I took a deep breath, and then, I decided to hold her by her hair to expose her throat before using my M1911 to throat chop her with a strength more powerful than my punches from before.
The strike made her cough out some blood from her mouth, trying to speak to me but it was mostly inaudible sounds coming out of her mouth as her eyes went wide at looking at me before she shut them down and I let her down, throwing her on the ground...it's like the...first time that...I'm using...to be violent like this to kill someone...I never did this but now...I felt...bad for doing this but also...I don't know, Sarah was a monster, she deserved a worse death but...why I'm violent...I'm not the monster that Perseus tried to create.
My eyes then went on the bomb that she was working on, leaving her to die painfully on the ground to take a look at the bomb that was in fact, not even armed...not working at all and a smile came on my face about it, seeming a bit happy before I start to fall on my knee, some tears coming out of my eyes, and then, falling on the ground on my back, completely exhausted by this day...seeing now only the light above the ceiling...as I could hear some people approaching...
It's with a smile that I closed my eyes, thinking about my friends...about my love...

Here's my second character! I will also present their teammates a bit since the crew is much more like a family this time! (Might also add pics of the others in following posts and MAYBE of his animals too)
Særos Sandiel and The zookeepers
Tumblr media
(This art is a picrew which I do not have the rights on, here is the link to it: https://picrew.me/image_maker/62745)
The name of the team mostly comes from a joke saying that "Mama Lyræ is our zookeeper and that we are the Zookeepers to a ton of pets. Also, Yarina can shapeshift into beasts sooooooo yeah.
Technicalities:
Særos is my very first character played in D&D. We actually started playing on the other game I talked about last time, but we switched to D&D. His character sheet is actually available on DND beyond, but I'm still gonna give details here.
Tumblr media
Those are his attributes. (He actually got an additional point of charisma after I wrote this and was too lazy to take another screenshot sorry x) )
He is recorded as a high Elf, but is actually of two different bloodlines. He is VERY young for an elf, but his exact age is unknown (well yes but know, you'll see). He has 5 wizard and 2 cleric levels, making him currently level 7.
Equipment:
I am NOT gonna go through everything Særos has, cause that would be VERY long. He has a heavy armor, he has a staff of healing and a shortsword, but he mostly uses his magic. He also has, in his spellbook, a collection of dried flowers.
Familiars:
Særos has a TON of pets he acquired through the different quests the party went on. The first one is a frog named Lepiota he found wounded and saved. He then bought an old black cat he named Persephone (even if the cat is a male 😂). Finally, he also bought two ferrets (fluffy noodles ❤️❤️) which he named Elton and Freddy (this one was as a reference to one of our former player who really loves Elton John and Freddy Mercury). He loves them with all his heart and will absolutely kill anyone who tries to hurt his babies.
Allies:
Særos' main ally is, obviously, his twin, Edran. They are very similar, but Særos is usually pretty well kept with his short hair always brushed and his braids made every morning, whereas Edran is a bit shorter, more immature, usually pretty dirty with blood all over their clothes (which are poofy dressed he hides poison in 😂) and messy hair. There is also Lyræ. She is a paladin coming from far away lands. She is a human with elf ancestors and dragon blood. She has a wife and children and thus, she is pretty much the mom of the group. (The DM literally gave her two custom attacks she can use in RP: the flick of anger that gives 1pt of bludgeoning + 1pt of psychic damage and the disapproving look that gives 2pts of psychic damage everytime she does it + makes the target intimidated). Then, there is Finian, a human assassin. Finian and Særos are pretty neutral about each other, but Edran is in absolute admiration of him, so Særos is grateful that Finian doesn't just shatter his sibling's trust. The last member, who was actually someone that was rescued by the party, is Yarina. She is a very shy aasimar and is pretty much the definition of being pure EXCEPT she is obsessed with daggers (no joke, she has 23 of them). They were recently joined by a rogue elf called Adressin who actually attacked them at first.
Appearance:
This picrew is already pretty accurate. Særos (as well as Edran actually) has blond almost white hair, but it's actually fluffier than on the picture. He has two braids, one in front of each ear, a few freckles and red-pink eyes. He is very pale, quite small and very frail. He looks pretty androgynous and rather young, though he usually passes as a bit older since he is an elf.
Backstory and campaign:
So the campaign isn't really a big story like in Rhodrag's case, so I'll tell the party's story, but not the quests.
The twins' first memory is waking up in a bed, only knowing their name. They meet with the lovely wood elf lady who save them, and learn they were found in the sand by a nearby river. For that reason, they are given the last name "Sandiel".
They live a relatively normal life with her, for around 10 years, until they are attacked by drows. Their adopted mother successfully hides them by using magic and they learn they are wanted because they are part drow and part high-elf, meaning pretty much every every elven races will want to kill them. The woman successfully protects the twins. She is taken out of the house and, to this day, the twins don't know what happened of her, whether she was killed or taken.
They left and reached a nearby city. There, they survived by stealing and being street entertainers (for example, even if he has no rogue level, Særos is proefficient in stealth, sleight of hands, deception, etc. He also is proefficient in performance. He learned to sing, the art of divination and a bit of magic.)
One night though, Særos came back to their hiding place to find his sibling dead. All he could understand was that they died of both malnutrition and hypothermia.
Out of desperation, he tried every spell he knew, but nothing happened. He tried reanimation, but it had been to long. Out of despair, he prayed any god possible to help him, saying he couldn't live in this unfair world without Edran.
A god did answer. He is actually a god from the other game we started the campaign in before switching to DND.
He is called Nuodai the Trickster.
He offered a deal to Særos: he would bring back Edran and even guarantee him power and success, and in exchange, when Særos would be powerful enough, the Trickster would take his elven traits which hold part of his powers, as well as 200 years of his life. Out of desperation, Særos accepted.
He woke up the next morning. His sibling was by his side, clearly not dead, but not entirely alive. They were now a revived.
Things went on, Edran not knowing, and Særos eventually stopped thinking about the deal, only happy to have his twin back. They moved from the city, trying to reach a bigger one, and were, once again, attacked by drows. He used a spell to put his twin in safety and attacked the drows, but was, if course, neutralized.
He was taken and they made him a slave while they tried to capture Edran to kill them together.
Fast forward, Edran is taken into an underdark prison. He meets again with his brother and both if them are beaten up. They successfully defend though and they are thrown in a cell as it is decided they're are to be executed the next day. This is where they meet Lyræ and Finian.
They plan to escape as well as a few other NPCs. They are able to leave the cell and steal a bit of stuff while a vrock attacks the guards. They escape and reach a teleporter. There, Særos successfully brings everyone back to the surface. Newly free, they all start to look for a village. After properly introducing each others, they finally reach a tiny elf village. The twins stay as stealthy as possible but end up being noticed and attacked by guards. They then have a choice: they could be changed into simple would elves or they have to leave. Særos knows it's not gonna work on Edran, and bargains to be able to stay. At first, the headmaster threatens to kill him for that, but he ends up agreeing to let them in the city, guarded, until the night falls.
They then shop and leave the city.
They end up in a forrest Særos realizes is corrupted. There, they were attacked by a HUGE snake touched by the corruption. At first, everyone tries to kill it except Edran and quickly, Særos and Finian join them. Særos finally cuts the tip of it's tail where the corruption was and Edran and Finian calm it.
Lyræ is terrified of it and finally lets them all know that her best friend was killed by a giant snake who ate her alive. (This is freaking terrifying yo.)
In the end, a fight starts and Særos, enraged, leaves everyone and runs towards the center of the corruption. There he is attacked by corrupted elves and tree creatures we happily called Groots. Edran joins him and Særos basically rages (he used they most powerful spell he had and literally exploded them.
Edran, while attacking, starts gaining weird memories.
Fast forward to the end of the quest, Særos is happily searching for animals and flowers when he and Edran hear strange noises coming from a tree. Edran climbs it and a wood elf girl falls from the tree, before Edran jumps on her from the too of the tree.
The team introduced themselves to her and she happily talks to them. So yeah, that's how we met Nayhru.
The team reaches a weird village and after the whole snake incident, leaves the party for a while, promising to find them again soon and assuring she would always be closer than they think.
They reach the village which reveals to be a village of gnomes and there they meet with a gnome (who's player inspired the names of my furrets x) ) and a Goliath travelling together. They all find the village empty before being attacked by a troll and... Metal gnomes?
They kill them, uneager to die, and search the village. They find flowers in the middle of the village and Særos takes one for his collection. Særos and Edran are attacked by an ooze and at some point, the ooze attacks Edran just before being killed by Nayrhu. At that moment, Edran starts turning into a robot as well, with the corruption growing from their arm. Særos tries to cut off the arm, but us unable and the corruption takes Edran's whole body.
They leave the village and are able to find a Druid eager to help them make a cure for Edran and the gnomes, but he needs Elder sage. He describes it and Særos shows his flower to the Druid, who confirms it is Elder sage. They go back to the village to get flowers, cane back and turned Edran back into a flesh being.
And that's when they remembered dying and being brought back to life. Edran and Særos cried in each other's arms and then continued on.
They got in a cavern near the village from where the trolls always came. There, the found a girl, chained, with glowing wings. They freed her and she introduced herself as Yarina. (Fun fact: Yarina's player is my SO, and both Yarina and Særos have the spell suggestion, so when the crew found a the boss hiding something, we just made it run away. Nice. )
The team found a clockwork dragon and helped it. They then left again. Finian had to leave a couple times, and at some point, the team realized that, even if they are young, the twins were actually a lot older than they thought: They assumed Edran's death happened when they were around 13 and that it had been around 6 years, meaning Særos was actually around 19.
They were reunited with Lyræ and began other quests. In one of them, the team encountered a wishing fountain that filled any wish you had under certain conditions. Særos asked to know his whole story, from the lives of his parents up to now. The fountain gave him a magic book that tells his story and updates. It has no name so Særos just calls it The story book.
Some time passed and the team continued on. They were traveling to the capital until one night, Nayrhu and Edran caught a thief about to steal their stuff. They quickly stopped him and realized he was very young. Instead of kicking his butt, they woke up the whole team and decided together to bring him to the capital and help him make money to survive there. And that's how they met Adressin.
The zookeepers reached the capital where they are supposed to find Finian who joined outlaws he met in another quest.
Before finding Finian, they decided to do a few quests to earn money with Adressin.
Everyone through the day kept noticing Særos bring super bold, a lot bolder than he usually is, for example, telling Yarina who was wearing a magic dress that she looked "Incredibly beautiful" as if she was "made if pure light". No one really thought anything of it though and just shoved it away.
One night, they decided a drinking contest was a good idea and everyone joined except Adressin. The next morning, everyone was doing good, maybe a tad nauseous, except for Lyræ and Særos who were absolutely fucked up. They both used spells to heal their hangover, but Særos remained mildly unwell, choosing to go on their quest anyways.
Symptoms were the following:
-A headache that was mostly located to the top front of his head
-His low back itching and hurting a LOT
-His eyes feeling dry
No one really knew what was going on, some didn't even really notice.
As they went on with their first quest, they started noticing weird stuff about Særos' appearance: His hair looked more golden than white, as they used to, there were two bumps appearing on his forehead around the location of his headache, his eyes looked.... Weird...? But no one really saw anything peculiar, his skin, usually also white, now looked kinda pink.
He doesn't really notice the changes and doesn't understand what is happening which utterly FRIGHTENS him, but he hides it. Yarina started understanding what was happening and Edran out all the pieces together and now they know everything.
To be continued...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once that we have agreed on what to do in the parking lot, it was time for us four to get back to our respective offices, now having to not talk of any things that could help the CIA to stop Perseus before us, it was our hard work and we ain't going to let the Americans get the upper hand and stop Perseus we could. Maybe that we're on the same side of the war but here, it's different. It's just going to be us, the MI6...and now, adding to that, the Special Air Service...Captain John Price and his men.
When we came back to our office, the first thing that Park did was to get on the line with Hereford and reach out to Price, asking for his help, and thankfully, we didn't even have to tell any important details to him that he was already agreeing to come with his men but because of some things on his side, he would be only able to come near the end of the afternoon, causing us to get along with it and wait for him and the SAS to arrive in London, Park having to precise that they needed 'the necessary tools for work'.
Now, it was the beginning of a 'normal day' for us: back to our offices and going to work, knowing that now, people were listening to us. We didn't work for the first part of the day until noon as we start to search for every bug that the CIA got, finding some in the lamps, on some drawers, and of course, inside our phones and all of this search by faking a discussion or staying silent, a feeling fo disgust when a hidden bug was found, knowing that we weren't secure in here.
The rest of the day went pretty well: having lunch with Zasha & Portnova in their office and after that, analyzing what's the MI6 got from Peter's apartment and what we saw made our day: Peter had suspicions of the location of where the Perseus members are hiding and it as all pointing out to Canary's Wharf...Lukas Ritter's tracker managing to give us the benefit of the doubt and that's what we were seeing in that detail when the estimated time for Price to arrive was here.
"Should be here soon for me," I said, checking up my watch on my left wrist as I was with Park at her desk, focusing actually on the construction site map of Canary's Wharf. "What do you think about it?" I asked her, who was sitting on her chair with me just behind her.
"I don't know, he said that there were some problems to deal with before getting here," She replied, telling me the same thing she did when she hang out after that phone call.
"At least, we know that he's coming," I muttered, putting my hands on the desk at a few centimeters from the map and the few pen that we were using to write things that we couldn't say loudly.
"Of course," Park alleged as her right hand moves towards one of the pens and a piece of paper to write on it. "How much do you think they could be?" She wrote that pretty quick on that paper, tapping with her pen two times below the sentence.
"Uhm..." I mumbled, grabbing her pen in her hand to write. "Estimated for me? At least 20 to 30," I replied with my writing just right under her sentence. "How many men Price has?" I added to it.
"Enough," Park responded by talking, using a low tone to say it. "Don't worry, we're maybe lower in numbers but the SAS knows how to make the job done," She continued, turning her head towards me. "You know that well," She smiled at me, meaning it.
"Of course," I breathed before I moved softly for a little kiss on her lips but I couldn't know if it was something like that or because I wanted it since our last kiss in the car. "Thanks," I whispered after the kiss, seeing her lips going for a smile, and then, two knocks at our door...
"Who is this?" Park asked, putting herself well on her seat to face the door but the only response we see was the door opening to reveal Portnova with behind them, a man with a dark blue beanie and a large vest on the same color...him, Price.
"Oh, Portnova, good to see you," I exclaimed, happy to see her here and talking a bit loud to make myself heard by the CIA through the bugs.
"Hey, there's John Price from the SAS behind me, he came to see us first," Portnova spoke up, pointing behind her with her left thumb, Price making a sign with his head to say hello, Park doing the same with me to him. "You told us that you wanted to see him so here he is," He said, moving aside to let Price walk in front to enter the room, taking off his beanie.
"Good to see you, Helen," Price grinned at Park, moving next to the chairs in front of her desk and putting his hands on the backrest of one of them.
"Me too, John," She muttered in a low voice, her eyes looking at her right eye with her thumb touching the ring finger.
"Well, I'm leaving you three for now on," Portnova said but then, she moves to my desk to grab a piece of paper & a pen to write something, me going closer to see what she was going to write on it. "Zed is already in the underground parking with Price's men, you'll join us soon," That's what I could see on it after she finished writing, winking at me before she left the office, closing the door behind her.
"So, you know why I ask you to come?" Park started, having her both hands joined together as I got back next to her with the piece of paper in my hands. "Thanks," She said when I gave her the paper, taking a look at quickly.
"Yes, you said that Stone was back and that Perseus was in town," Price replied, staying up behind that chair, maybe thinking that our presence in here will be short. "That you needed support,"
"I do, we do," Park clarified, putting aside the paper before looking back at him. "We both know that we have to work again together for that case and we need you & your men," She clarified, quickly followed by a nod from Price.
"Helen, the SAS is always going to have your back, count on that," He affirmed with a sure tone in his voice, meaning it by a lot as his eyes drifted towards the map that was on the desk, just in front of Park.
"If you want, we can talk about how we can proceed," I told him, scratching the left side of my jaw with my right hand.
"Of course, well..." Price started to say as Park immediately got her hands back on the same pen and another piece of paper to write something else. "My men are waiting for us in the underground parking," He pointed out behind him before looking at the paper Park was showing him.
"CIA listening, tell that you're here to install a temporary HQ in here," Park's writing was looking rather quick but still good looking, showing the note pretty clear to Price
"We're been thinking of installing an HQ in Century House for our ops in town," Price bought it instantly, knowing that she was saying the truth along with me and our gestures. "Maybe that you want to give instructions to them," He advised.
"That's a good idea, John," Park approved of it, her voice sounding like it was going to be better to talk in the parking than talking about here. "Let's go then," She ordered with enthusiasm as she got up from her seat and grab her jacket on its backrest.
I followed the same procedure as her by going back to my desk and grab what I needed: my jacket & my M1911 while Park took with her, the map of the construction site in Canary's Wharf, and of course, her pistol, and then, we were ready to go out of the office, me & Park taking the lead and gesturing to Price that we couldn't talk in here and the hallways before we arrived inside the elevator, the only place with the underground parking that we could talk freely without been heard but instead, we stayed quiet.
Our mouths were kept shut inside the elevator while it was going down to the parking and when we stepped out, the first thing that caught up my eyes was two vans parked near the same car that I & Park used earlier this day with some men around them, talking to each other and hearing the little sound of the elevator's doors opening up caused every looks to be put on us, giving me a sort of little pressure to be observed by those people even if I know that those guys are friendly.
"Finally, we can talk freely, I think," I sighed as we all three start walking towards the car that was having Zasha & Portnova near it, staying on their side alone and away for the moment from Price's men.
"Why the CIA's listening to you?" Price asked by curiosity behind us.
"Because they don't like us, John," Park replied in a clear voice, already taking out the wrapped map from her jacket, making a sign with her at Zasha & Portnova. "For them, we're useful to have what they need...we don't want that, not after what they're doing with us," She added as we arrived near the car, Park unwrapping the map over the car's hood.
"So, this is their hideout?" Zasha demanded as they didn't know about the actual layout of the construction site, we only saw that minutes before Price arrives here.
"Two entrances, multiples covers, and for them, an exit in the Tube," I explained, looking at everything that was put around circles and seemed important by me & Park. "A perfect place to hide for Perseus," I added.
"What about the tracker that you put on Lukas?" Portnova questioned me, crossing her arms.
"Unfortunately, it stopped emitting 30 minutes ago," Park answered at my place to her, not even letting move my lips to speak. "Either they found out about it or they have something blocking it to emit," She theorized as I was in charge of keeping an eye on the tracking device that got off as she said 30 minutes ago.
"A jammer?" Price mumbled, his left hand below his chin and adopting a thinking attitude. "It could be possible but now, they're going to think that's something off," He presumed, me & Park nodding at him about that. "And that's where we all coming,"  He added as he got his hands over the map. "What's your plan, Helen?" He demanded, looking at her.
"To start, I think that we should get two teams striking the entrances," She started, moving her fingers on the map to point to the two entrances she mentioned. "The one at that warehouse should be the first one to go on with discretion," She suggested as she looks at everyone to see our reaction to that. "And then, we launch the attack, stealth isn't and can't be used during a large part of the operation,"
"Two teams, two entrances, it should work perfectly," Price speculated, his eyes looking at the map as if he was analyzing it for a better opinion on it. "The only problem is that we have to react quickly to eliminate that group before they could use the Tube," He said, his fingers over the side of the map that was getting inside a part of the metro.
"I'm sure that we can do it," I proclaimed like that, getting a bit enthusiastic to get Perseus out of London.
"I'm sure too," Zasha joined in with me in my statement. "Your men, sir, are very good elements, we can do it quickly," They complimented, their eyes drifting to look at the group of people in SAS uniforms near the first van that was near us.
"Thank you, Smirnov," Price thanked them, giving them a nod to that compliment. "Now, we should organize to see who is doing what," He declared, crossing his arms as Portnova suddenly decide to go away from us without any words, walking to get leaned on a pole that was almost 10 meters from us.
"Well...Uhm...I think that I want to volunteer to be with the group going first," I said, raising my left hand to that, wondering inside of me why I did this.
"I'm in too," Zasha joined me in raising their hand, making my eyes go wide for a bit. "What about you, Park?" They demanded towards her who was thinking by looking at the map.
"I'll choose, don't worry," She simply replied, not moving her head away from the map. "If you wish, I'll talk about the details with Price alone," She stated.
"As you wish, Park," I told her, making a lovely tap over her left shoulder before we decide along with Zasha to leave Park & Price alone but Zasha quickly left me to join the group they were looking at before as for me, I needed to see Portnova.
She was all alone, leaned on that pole, arms crossed and looking away from everyone. When she first walk away from the group, no one wondering why she left except me, I wanted to know why she was like that...was she thinking about something bad? Perseus was now aware that she was alive following the assassination attempt at the University of London and since, I was sometimes able to see that she wasn't looking well & secure to be around, surely because we were having a big target on our backs...something that needed to be erased...
"Portnova?" I called out with a low voice as I approach her in a slow walk.
"Yes?" She muttered, her eyes looking down at her feet.
"Are you alright?" I demanded, arriving right next to her at least 1 meter from her. "I saw you leaving the group seconds ago and...I'm worried," I clarified myself in case, even joining my hands together, looking like a shy girl.
"I wish I could say yes and I don't want to say no," She responded, turning softly her head at me, her face seeming neutral for me. "I know that I shouldn't be like that but it's hard to believe that...even with every try, Perseus is always here," He sniffed.
"I know, it's hard," I joined her on that thought.
"I want to live a perfect life with Zasha, having them with me while the two of us are working at our respective workplace: me as a teacher, them...I'm not sure if they want to stay a cryptographer but..." She stopped herself for a few seconds to take a deep breath. "Not having a feeling to been watched, listened and threatened by someone," She resumed in a lower voice, sounding neutral for me.
"That's what you told me...three years ago," I exclaimed, crossing my arms as I had flashes in my head showing me my memory with her near the Moskova. "You were scared, I had a memory with you last night...a meeting near the Moskova, away from the city," I explained
"So, you remember that day..." She whispered with a little grin at me. "I'm still scared about this...since that day," She said, her voice sounding broken as she pass her hands below her eyes. "No, I'm not crying here...not at all," She defended herself despite that tears were visible on her face, hiding them with her hands.
"It's okay, you can cry, we all do that one day," I confided with the truth on that subject, everyone can be having a bad moment...crying is normal. "Listen, I'm still sorry about...the three years that passed with....you alone, I'll make sure...we'll make sure that Perseus will be destroyed," I commented, giving my apologies about that situation she faced alone...even if I already told them.
"I know, thank you," She grinned at me
"No...thank you for...being a great friend, Portnova," I thanked her back as she was meaning a lot as a friend for me, along with Zasha, adding a friendly tap over her right shoulder to fully mean it entirely.
"Well, thanks," She whispered, still smiling at me while I did it too as her eyes suddenly got focused behind me. "Seems that Zed is talking to their friends," She stated, making me turn around to look and see Zasha talking with three people: someone with a sort of mohawk haircut...like Freya, a man with a black hood on and a white skull as a decal, and then, a man with a helmet and a black hood too.
"I didn't know that they were friends with them," I confessed as Portnova move away from the pole she was leaned on to join me at my side.
"They told me that after Price showed up," She explained, crossing her arms as we were looking at the group. "I think they are Soap, Ghost &...Roach," She revealed to me, her voice getting a bit sounding confused at the end. "What the hell kind of a name is Roach?" She asked me.
"Don't know but...why don't we join Zasha to talk with them?" I proposed to her and it's without any hesitation from me & her that we decide to join the group, observing that Zasha was the one to talk mainly in it.
"Hi, miss Grigoriev," The mohawk guy spoke first with a Scottish accent as he was sitting on the back of the van, the back doors widely as the inside was looking like an armory...he's Soap. "And...you must be Zasha's wife, I presume?" He demanded, pointing out at Portnova.
"That's correct," Portnova replied with a smile as Soap offered his hand to her.
"John 'Soap' Mactavish, call me simply Soap," He presented himself as he & Portnova shook hands before they withdraw from each other. "Here's our Ghost," He pointed at the man with a black hood and a white skull decal.
"Pleasure to meet you both," The man said, surprising me with the voice he used, feeling it very deeper and...unusual.
"And here's Roach," Soap finished, his hand pointing towards the man with a helmet and the hood, leaned against one of the backdoors of the van.
"Hi, misses..." The man waved at us, sounding rather shy in his voice and we waved back at him.
"They are my friends," Zasha told me, their hands joining together and they were sounding a bit unsure to tell it actually, their gestures looking like a shy person. "We...I met and talk with them during & after our mission in Cuba,"
"A pretty good sniper, they told us that you're the woman that formed them in it," Soap exclaimed, addressing himself towards me.
"The kid has a good heart, same for you as I heard," Ghost added, crossing his arms as he looked at me through his black hood.
"Well, Zasha is my best friend for years...almost 9 years to be honest," I admitted as Zasha was looking at me with a smile, giving me some hope as I was like opening myself to those guys. "I'm doing my best as I can,"
"You...you did good," Roach implored, getting Soap & Ghost eyes on him.
"Of course, that's good, we're doing the same thing with you," Soap told him as he joined his hands together over his legs.
"Everyone," Then, we all heard Price's voice calling us out and getting our attention on him & Park who was standing next to him. "As you could know, we're fighting Perseus again and today, we have a chance to bring them down in London and maybe in England if we can," He started, his hands around his waist.
"Perseus' agents are hiding in a construction site in Canary's Wharf and we think that they could leave tonight, we're striking them today," Park spoke up, making her voice loud & clear for everyone who was now gathered to see them as for us, we didn't move at all from our spot.
"There will be two teams: one led by me & Park while the other will be led by Grigoriev," He announced, making my eyes goes wide at this. "Soap, Ghost, Roach, Griffin & Wallcroft, you'll be with her, the others, with me & Park," He continued as my jaw was dropped discreetly at this but not because I was going to led a SAS team. "Prepare your equipment, we'll be leaving soon," He ordered clearly, causing everyone to split up.
"Park," I called her as I walk towards her. "You...you're not coming in the same team with me?" I demanded, wondering why...just why...
"Don't worry, Yiri," She started with a little smile at me. "It's just for the beginning, the attack will get us back, don't worry about it, and like the SAS say..." She advised me, stopping in her words before pulling me in for a quick kiss on the lips before she looked back at me, a face that wanted to me stay calm and not worry about this...
"Stay frosty!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to understand what happened in my mind but it all came so quickly that I wasn't able to process everything, the crash into the train, me trying to see if Zasha was okay...before getting knocked out by...Sarah...Sarah...her...she was kidnapped by Perseus and I saw her dressing in Stone's outfit...why? I couldn't understand and know why but they didn't let me breathe one second more, getting dragged over the floor and briefly seeing Zasha also getting taken over, her & some soldiers taking us away from the crash scene. My mouth wanted to open to scream, to call for help but it was hopeless, only whispering about it as my body was giving in, and what they injected me to take over and caused me to close my eyes...
Suddenly, I found myself back in my old apartment but instead of being on a couch or that seat, trying to relax, I was looking a bit running around to prepare things in the living room. The outfit I was wearing was my KGB uniform with the vest off along with the tie, keeping the green kaki buttoned shirt with a button away at the top of it while the pants were looking crumpled than in perfect, the black shoes not-so shiny but the most important here was the thing I was preparing than my own clothes.
I was moving between the living room and the kitchen, going to prepare the table and I only took 2 plates with two sets of covers, meaning that I was having a close dinner tonight by looking at the tile outside the windows of the kitchen and the living room. Right now, the only thing that I was unsure of...was about myself, mixed between been excited...or scared of the person's reaction that will come...must be very important if I'm like that, can't be like this if it's with friends...
While I was making another entrance in the kitchen, grabbing two glasses inside the kitchen drawer above the sink, I almost jump scared with the glasses in my both hands when I start to hear the phone in the living room ringing, causing me to come back inside the living room and putting the glasses on the table before going to grab the phone, picking it up in a fast motion, at a few seconds of the last ring.
"Yes?" I started, picking up the phone in my left hand.
"It's Zasha, your friend," The voice said, recognizing Zasha's perfect voice through the phone and it gave me a little smile in fact.
"Oh hey, Zed, how it's going?" I asked them with curiosity as I do.
"All fine, all fine," They replied with a good voice. "You're sounding a bit anxious in your voice, Yirina," They remarked, having used on my side the anxiety I was having right now.
"Yeah, I'm...dealing with something important here," I told them, taking a look at the front door of my apartment as if someone could knock at any moment. "A birthday," I chuckled.
"Oh?" I heard Zasha gasp through the phone, surprised by that.
"Freya's birthday," I clarified, moving the phone to hold it between my right ear and on the top of my right shoulder as I passed my hand over the dress the phone is, removing the dust on it.
"It's her birthday, today?" They whispered in a curious voice.
"Yes, the 29th of February and honestly, it's strange to organize something like that," I confessed, feeling the unneeded stress of the situation inside of me. "It's the first time doing that,"
"Really?"
"Always, she's not here for her birthday, away from me or it's Perseus himself doing it," I explained, taking the phone back into my hand, my eyes staying on the door. "And I'm telling you, Perseus ain't the best at organizing parties," I added with a funny tone to maybe destress a little.
"I'm sure of that, Yirina," They scoffed as if they knew how it was doing with Perseus. "So, like today, you're celebrating her birthday..." They muttered, their voice a bit
"Of course, for the only time she's here with not Perseus around us," I affirmed, smiling about it before something about Zasha's voice came to me in my head. "You...you needed me for something?" I demanded.
"Well...Uhm...I was planning if you wanted to get with me, Dedov & Portnova out of town, you know but as I heard, you have a birthday to do," They revealed to me, suddenly feeling bad for them.
"I'm sorry, Zasha, if I knew," I apologized to them about it but neither of us couldn't know of each other plans for the day.
"No, I should have known that," They said, sounding to take the blame on them but in fact, none of us should take it. "You don't have to apologize and...yeah, if you got the chance to be with Freya for her birthday, do it then," They exclaimed, sounding better in their voice, making me smile a little.
"If you want, we can do that another day," I proposed.
"As you wish," They told me before my door start to make some noises, meaning that someone was knocking on it.
"I think she's here, Zed," I supposed, my left hand getting away from the dresser to redress normally. "Listen, I have to go now, we'll talk later, okay?"
"Ok, I hope you'll have a good night, Yirina, bye," They declared.
"Bye, Zed," I breathed before I hang up the phone, taking a deep breath to get to the door but then, I stopped as if I forgot something. "Wait, two minutes," I ordered, going back on my track and going inside my bedroom.
I stepped inside of my bedroom and I went directly to kneel at the right side of my bed, my hands going under it to grab a present that was like a medium-sized box, sliding it to get it out of the bed, taking it with me out of the room before I put it on the small table in front of the couch, taking another deep breath, seconds before I joined up my front door, unlocking it and opening slowly to perceive Freya in front of me, civilians clothes &...wow...
"Wow..." I literally expressed my surprise when I saw Freya with a different haircut than before: a sort of mohawk one with no hair on the sides, all on the top as she got a braid behind her. "That's...you're looking cute," I said, almost speechless at her sight.
"Thanks," She blushed at my remark, passing her hand through her face to hide it. "So..." She started to look behind me.
"Wait, close your eyes," I demanded.
"You've got a surprise for me?" She asked even if she comply with my demand and close her eyes on her own before I took her softly by the arms.
"I did my best about everything so it's maybe not perfect," I commented, guiding her towards the couch and she was letting herself be guided away by me. "Here, sit," I whispered, putting her down on the couch.
"It's good, now?" She questioned me, keeping her eyes close as I move on the other side of the table, standing up.
"Open your eyes, it's okay," I told her and in a second, she got her eyes looking at me, standing up in front of her before she got them down on the table, seeing the present.
"That's for me?" She breathed, her mouth slightly opened, pointing at the present with her left hand.
"Go on, open it up," I suggested, gesturing towards the box before she got her hands on it, taking it over her lap as I was feeling a bit unsure of what I got in here for Freya, was she going to like it or not?
"Well, well, well, that's interesting," She proclaimed, taking out of the box a knife looking silver-plated, very shiny with a black whip. "Hunting knife?" She presumed.
"I know that you loved hunting with a shotgun as Perseus learned to us so...here's for you," I explained, scratching the back of my head, wondering to myself why did I offer a knife for a birthday...
"That's perfect, Yiri," She smiled at me, looking closely at the knife as she could see her reflection on the blade. "It's a great gift," She added to it, putting it down on the small table before her eyes went back inside the box. "What's this?" She muttered, grabbing something in her hands: a piece of paper... "To this day, Freya Helvig has been reinstated to..." She stopped herself, looking at me in shock and keeping the paper in her hands. "You...what did you do?"
"4 years ago, the NIS brandished you as a traitor to Norway and you didn't take it well," I started, trying to explain myself while having her eyes on me. "You're a patriot, Freya, you're...you're not doing all of this for the Collective but because you might think that Scandinavia can be hit in case of a war...and also because of me," I continued, joining my hands together as I go to sit next to her. "Thanks to Perseus & some contacts, we...managed to clear your records in the NIS and they're willing to take you back," I finished.
"You...you want me to...go back to the NIS?" She whispered, showing me the paper tells that her actions against the NIS were forgiven. "After...after what happened?"
"It's stupid, I know but...it can maybe allow you to...not getting involved so much in..." I was trying to say before she interrupted me by cuddling me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders.
"Thank you," She thanked me, giving me a kiss on the cheek as a surprise was the word that could describe my state right now. "Thank you," She repeated in a good & broken voice, reinforcing her softly hold on me, making me smile again before I decide to hug her too...
"Hey, watch out, we need her alive!" Suddenly, I was feeling extirpated from that dream with Freya as a muffled voice spoke up, my mind slowly awakening but my body wasn't following the same mood, my eyes' vision all blurred but I could only perceive that I was still on a wet dirty ground, the back of my head on it. I wanted to speak but I was so weak that no sound could go out for the moment before I start to get dragged on the ground. "I told you to get cautious, damn it," The voice repeated again.
"Not my fault if she and Krypto are fucking sleeping beauties," Another voice called the first one, sounding more like a man one and supposedly, one of the people dragging me as I could feel a hold on my left hand going away from me.
"Ain't my fault if you're the one who gives them the dose, Bellamy," Another man's voice stepped in, sounding with a german accent, holding me by my right hand as I couldn't react and move freely as if I was paralyzed. "They're going to be knock out for the night,"
"Knocked out? Really?" The first voice, getting clear for me, said to the second guy as I could see Sarah without a mask, still dressed in Stone's clothes going next to me. "She got her eyes opened, she's awakening," She stated.
"And Krypto?" The first man...Bellamy...asked, resuming to put his hands around my left wrist.
"Looks like they're still sleeping," A third man replied, my eyes trying to find him around and briefly seeing him inside a blue van...someone...Zasha laid down on the floor of it. "What should we do now?"
"What do you think, Lukas?" Bellamy sighed, reinforcing his hold on me to make sure that he was controlling me. "We got the two to their cells underground and we see what to do," He told them before his head turned around to look at the other man near me. "Come on, Beck, must be much easier than playing with explosives, isn't it?"
"Shut up, Bellamy, ain't funny," This Beck...this Ingo Beck sniffed before he complied, feeling my body moving away from the spot I awake as the two were dragging me inside a building...
My eyes were still slowly recovering, my vision blurred along the way and I couldn't identify anything that could help me to know where I am but...it was...for me...looking like a sort of warehouse but I couldn't really say a concrete thought, my state becoming a priority for me, the feeling of having fucked up and got me & Zasha captured...the others killed...by Perseus. I should cry but even here, my body was too weak, my state was in the same shape that even crying was impossible.
I tried to focus, thinking about things that could help me but it was hard, my face was hurting me, feeling some bruises & cut because of the train crash, my chest was in a big pain along with my face and it got worse when my body starts to go down some stairs, sometimes hearing this Beck arguing with Bellamy to be soft with me instead of going down like an asshole as he stated, should find it funny...but here...my situation...nothing was funny, I fucked up...Park wasn't here to save me...we're in an unknown place...
The two continued to drag me away until one of them open up a metal door, revealing a room whose walls were losing their paint, the place looking so old that the building could crash down on us, the ground not cleaned up...with dried up blood on the right corner of the room. Other than that, there was nothing in the room about comfort: no windows, no bed, no sink...nothing. An old light above the ceiling was in bad shape according to the building and it's in the middle of the room that the two dropped me.
"Your new place to live, Grigoriev," I hear Bellamy talk to me after he released me, my back against the ground, looking up at the ceiling and avoiding the light as I try to cover my eyes from it with my hand only with a slower pace. "See, they'll be sleeping the night," He scoffed, looking at Beck and taking back his words.
"Hey, I'm not into that drug bullshit, you do," Beck protested, turning around to look at Bellamy. "I was just presuming," He added.
"Like you were before your accident years ago?" Bellamy told him, crossing his arms at him as my eyes start to have better sight and a better view of the two. Beck...he was having a black leather jacket and some glasses while Bellamy...he was having a tactical military outfit still on him, the two facing each other without a word before Beck got his eyes away from him. "You can leave now," He ordered.
"What about her?" Beck demanded.
"Let me with her, Sarah & Lukas will be busy to get Zasha up, you should join them if you want," He ordered in a clear voice, his eyes staying on Beck as he gestured at him with his head to get outside.
"As you want," Beck sighed, taking a look at me and seeing me like this, not having an expression on his face before he walked away from the cell, keeping the cell's door open.
"Grigoriev, Grigoriev, Grigoriev," Bellamy turned his body to look at me, repeating my name three times as I was trying to gather a few of my strength to redress myself away from the middle of the room. "What the odds for us that you'll be the one to take the bait," He announced, slowly moving my hands on the ground to get my back off the ground.
"Fuck...you..." It was the first words I could say, sounding low in my voice, taking some deep breaths to stay up & better. "Bellamy, just...go fuck yourself," I repeated, my head looking down, seeing the state of the blue uniform I was still wearing, some cuts on the sleeves and on the legs part.
"Not the best thought & words to have now," He stated as he walk next to me, not removing his eyes from me, managing during that to get my back against the wall, sitting against it on the ground. "You're not in the position to say to me go fuck myself," He added, kneeling next to me on one knee.
"What should I....should I say?" I said, looking up at him, my hands on the side of my legs, my eyes narrowing slowly as if the envy of sleeping was going to take over me. "You tried to kill my friend...ain't going to be nice with you," I reminded him, remembering the day he tried to kill Portnova at the university.
"I didn't know that she was alive but now, not only her but also Krypto themselves," Bellamy pointed out at this detail before I could hear a scream outside the cell...a loud scream that send me chills inside my body...
"STOP...LET ME GO!" That's what I heard...Zasha's voice...screaming..."STOP...YIRI..." It continued before I hear a door getting hardly slammed, cutting the screams...
"Zasha..." I whispered, getting stress flowing inside of me and trying to move away before Bellamy put his hand over my chest, stopping me to try to move.
"Heard that?" He scoffed, keeping a smile on his face. "Ain't that our Krypto screaming for their girlfriend?" He supposed, looking ready to laugh at my face about it. "Stupid, pathetic...fucking Krypto," He added before with some of my strength, I managed to gather some blood that I was still having in my mouth to spit it right on his face, hitting him right between the eyes & the nose. "FUCK!"
"Ain't that...funny...you son of a bitch," I cursed, looking at him going up from his spot to get in the middle of the room, cleaning up the blood on his face with his hands.
"You bitch, you're just a bitch," He yelled at me, turning his head at me as he clenches his fists, ready to land a punch at me, seeing his fingers getting ready before he stops clenching them. "No...ain't going to hit little shit like you," He declared, starting to walk away from me to reach the door. "And besides, we all going to have some fun to torture you & Zasha during the following days, I'm not going to break the other's pleasure," He announced as he got out of the room, keeping his eyes on me as the light inside the cell goes off, only seeing him with the light of the hallway behind him, me staying at my spot. "I hope you're not afraid of the dark, Grigoriev, you'll be used to it," He proclaimed before he shut down the door, finding himself in the complete darkness.
I could move in the room but no light could guide me here, nothing could show me the way, there was no bed in here and the floor...is supposed to be my bed...I should...I should not...I'm scared...I fucked up and now, I'm in a cell, wearing a badly shaped SAS uniform, my body exhausted and wanting to scream its pain away as I manage to lay down on my side on the ground, trying to think of something positive: good moments, Zasha, Portnova, Park...shit...I fucked up...it's because of me we're here now...I feel so bad...Park...I'm sorry...
I fucked up...Park...I'm fucking stupid...Help me...Help us...
