Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 5

(Dormii)
=I started running towards Draco when he started running. I started quietly singing to myself=

Ego forinsecus. Donec lobortis scelerisque video per te ipsum videre vos.

Quote :

I'm on the outside. I'm looking in. I can see through you, see to the real you.

=I drew my hand back for a punch and threw it forward, but changed it into a roll and hand-spring towards Draco's helmet=

=He dodges left and delivers a right punch to Dormii's face=

I run between them both, unfortunate that the only way to stop them was to hit them, but there you go. I bring my fist across Draco's face and my knee up to meet Dormii.

Both of you stop this now.

(Dormii)
=the hit across my face and the knee to the stomach dropped me to the ground, face first into a small puddle of blood. I slowly stood up, facing away from everyone=

Shelby. Lorem motum. Nolo lædere.

Quote :

Shelby. Please move. I don't want to hurt you.

=Her fist hits his helmet. Bringing his shields down a bit. He lowers his stance and waits=

Dormii. You will not harm her.
I know that much.

I turn to Dormii, somehow understanding his strange words

If you mean harm to Draco, you go through me first.

I spin to Draco

That goes the same way for you too.

=He stands there=

I will not harm you.

=He removes his helmet and tosses it=

(Dormii)
Lorem. Stabat me. Ego postulo efficio is.

Quote :

Please. Don't stop me. I need to do this.

=i stood up fully and turned around. I shook the knife-ring down into my hand=

I push him back and step towards him

What will you do huh? Strike me down now, just for this?

I spread my arms outward

Then go ahead. Kill me in all your anger and hate. Give in to what you always fought against.

My head begins to spin a little but i keep up appearances

(Dormii)
Oro obsecro. Stabat me. Sine me facere.

Quote :

Please I beg you. Don't stop me. Let me do this.

=i gripped the knife-ring tightly, but hesitantly=

Do it then. Kill me and do it. No-one's stopping you right now.

(Dormii)
=i walked forward, and attempted to push Shelby out of the way with my robotic arm. I didn't push very hard, as I didn't want to hurt her, but I also wanted to get her out of the way=

I resist against him and push him back.

You know you can't beat me Dormii. How many times have i proved that.

My head spins more. This time i have to blink a few times to clear my vision.

(Jason)
=We walked for a bit, until we reached the Council chambers. Along the way, we had crossed path with the Tower guards, and they were at their best. their armor was polished, and their weapons were ready=

(Dormii)
Possum numerare quam...

Quote :

More than I can count...

Then you know the only way i'm letting you do this is if you kill me.

My vision becomes tunnels and i become light-headed, almost like fainting.

(Dormii)
=i take another step-forward=
Shelby...

I step towards him too.

Dormii...

(Dormii)
=i hang my head and drop my weapon=
Doleo.

Quote :

I am sorry.

=i hug Shelby, in apology=

Doleo.

I whisper to him as i hug back.

You'd better hold tighter...

I pass out at that moment and go limp in his arms.

=He motions for them to leave=

Take her to her room.
Now.

(Dormii)
=i hold tighter and keep her upright. I pick her up and start carrying her to her room. I glared at Draco as I went, letting him know this wasn't over. A few minutes later, I arrived, and set her down on the bed. Part of her body was was red with my blood, and there was still a trail of blood behind us. I sat down on a nearby chair and silently thought about what happened=

=He sighs and walks over to his helmet and puts it on. The people in the hanger look on=

My apologies, you may resume your work.

=He leaves off for his own room=

(Dormii)
=i looked over at Shelby=
An bene, Shelby?

Quote :

Are you okay, Shelby?

(Dormii)
=i reach my hand out and grab her hand, feeling the blood from my cut on my palm flowing=

I pull gently back towards me

Come here.

(Dormii)
=i get up and go sit on her bed, doing my best to keep the blood off of her=

I pull him down to me.

Dormii...

(Dormii)
=i stay silent and lean down to her, continuing to hold her hand=

=He stopped off by Shelby's room and listened in=

Hmm...

=He looks down the hall and leaves=

(Dormii)
=i kiss her back. It felt right, it felt like Jay. I couldn't stop it, but I kiss her again, and again. I wanted to keep it going forever, I didn't want to stop=

(Dormii)
=i put an arm around her back. Pulling her closer as she pulled me closer. I kissed her harder, with more intensity=

I sigh as i watch them. They deserved the time together, god knows Human life was short enough anyway.I feel myself starting to fade and i manage to take control for just one second. Enough to say the words i needed to.

Tell Draco i did love hi...

With that she was gone. I had no idea where or why. Shelby was gone. I pondered over the events in my own mind. Finally, it was my mind again. I gave up, realising Dormii was with me, and i contented to enjoy his warmth again.

(Dormii)
=i stopped kissing Shelby for a moment, and nodded, before just going back to hugging her=

=He enters his room with a sigh, turning on the light. An empty bed, the necklace was still on the dresser. He begins to remove his armour piece by bloody piece. The blood from Dormii's cuts. He walks off to his bathroom and starts up a shower=

Dormii....?

It was a question. I needed to hear my own voice more than anything. But I also needed him to understand. Not that I think he ever could....

(Dormii)
=i sat up a bit and looked at her=
Shelby.

=He scrubbed away the blood that was on his face=
=After it was off he left the water running, just letting it run over him=

hmm...

Don't say that name. Ever again. That was somethi....someone else. Someone who's people long passed from this galaxy.

(Dormii)
Jay?

=He leans against the wall of the shower, thinking=

I've done what I needed...

=He turns the water off and takes a towel from the rack. He covers himself after drying and heads outside into his room=

Oh it's fine. Just ignore everything I said about it not being her. And how she's so old and everything......

I give him an unimpressed look

=He takes a new set of clothes from his dresser and puts them on. Taking his dog tags. As well as Ash's and puts them on=

=He goes off to lay down, looking into Ash's dogtags. A small smile appears on his face as he shuts out the light=

(Dormii)
Doleo. Sum admiratus. Quin ego volo loqui te.

Quote :

I'm sorry. I was surprised. I didn't think I would talk to you again.

=He hears a knock at his door=
=He rises from his bed and goes to the door. One arm, no armour. He opens it and is greeted with a hug=
=A familiar scent fills him as he looks down at the long red hair of the woman embracing him=

Lynn: Draco... I... I can't stay away from you...

=She reaches up and kisses him. He holds her tightly in his arm=
=They break off=

Lynn: Grace would kill me.... If she knew I was here.

=She gives a smile and a short, cute laugh=

Dante: Would you like to... stay here for the night....?

=She gives him the answer by burying her head into his chest. They back up, shutting the door behind them=

(Jason)
=Once outside the Council chambers, I stopped at the doors, and turned to face Delta and his people=

Now, I must ask that your guards wait outside, and that you remove any weapons you may be carrying. I assure you, that there is no one inside who is armed, and that my own guards will remain outside. This is simply a security precaution.
