Chapter 8 NAME "Shit Happens" Part 5

(Dormii)
Vis loqui de illa? Circa quod factum?

Quote :

Do you want to talk about it? About what happened?

=i looked at her, concerned, with sadness and joy and everything else thrown in there was well. I might not have known what went on in her mind, but I knew what it was like for another to control your body while you were helpless. I still held her hand, and had the other one behind her back. I didn't pay my blood any more attention, focusing only on Jay=

=The thirteen leaders gave the orders to their guards. The SS, Elites, and Sethalii waited outside the door, facing down the hall. They leaders gave their weapons to their respective soldiers. Delta opened up a screen in his vision. In a moment, his armor shields went down. The only weapon he now carried was his personal ELS, which he was not about to surrender. Xazhi came up to him and said something quietly to him in the Srevaeran language. Delta nodded, and handed the red-bladed energy sword to Jason=

=we arrive at the med bay=

see, it was just-

....................

Who did this?


=the blood stained figure on the bed remains motionless=

I shake my head at him

You need to sort yourself out first.

Scythe:

=i look around frustrated=

you were right Lana...

... it was Tar

(Dormii)
Quid vis?

Quote :

What do you mean?

(Lana)
=i put my arms are Kurbis as I look at Tar=
Kurbis...

....

who did this!?

=i look at the doctor=

=They sit on the bed, him holding her closely=

Lynn: Promise me...

Dante: With my life...

=They lay down, her head on his chest=
=He begins to hum a song=

(Jason)
=I took the energy blade from delta, a serious look on my face, that I hoped told him that I understood how big a deal it was that he was giving me the blade. Problem was, I had no idea where to actually put it, so I had to settle with placing it with all the other weapons that Delta and his friends had given up: in the armory. Once that was done, the doors to the chamber opened, and Delta, his friends and I, walked inside. The room looked different-- the Council no longer sat on an elevated platform. Hell, the damn thing had been lowered. Now, there was a large table, that looked suspiciously like it had been raised from the floor. This chamber was full of surprises. In addition to the six chairs meant for me and the five council members, there were a large number of chairs assembled around the table, and on the table itself, spaced here and there, were jugs of water, with glasses=

Okay, I guess everyone, find a seat, and we will begin shortly.

=She traces the various scars on his chest and stomach. The larger one from Rain's Katar sticks out he most=

Lynn: So many of them....

Dante: Yeah.

=She lays her hand flat on his chest where his heart is. He rubs her shoulder with his hand=

Lynn: I heard Dormii is back.

=He nods=

Dante: He is.

Lynn: Is he alright?

=He stays silent for a moment before answering=

Dante: I think he will be

Paarthurnax did not actually know where he was, Dormii had left him to find his own way. He knew no-one, and everyone was funny looking and looked unfriendly.

=She looks up towards him. Her blue eyes shining even in the darkness=

Lynn: Why do you say that?

=He looks down, his lips meet hers=

Dante: No reason. Get some rest.

=She looks at him questioningly and nods, reaching up for another kiss. She places her head back onto his chest and she drifts to sleep=

=He lays there and looks up. It may be a long couple of weeks=

Look at you. Your a fucking mess.

(Dormii)
=i nod and sit up fully=
Iratus sum. Aliquam am. Nam factum est, et non subsisto is.

Quote :

I was angry. I still am. It just happened, and I didn't stop it.

=my tone darkened, took on a sadder tone=
Nescio an vellem.

Quote :

I am not sure I wanted to.

=i stood up, still holding her hand=

Ibo fasceae aliquam. Ego convertar ad vos cito.

Quote :

I will go find some bandages. I'll return shortly.

=i started walking towards the door, afraid to let go of her hand until the last possible instant=

(Jason)
=I took a seat, and soon after, the other Council members entered the room, and sat on my side of the table. We waited for Delta and his people to sit down as well=

Answer me, who did this to Tar!?

(Lana)
=a doctor speaks up=
"Dormii Fortuni."

=i look at the doctor when he says that=
No way. Dormii wouldn't do this. Not without a good reason.

Scythe: it doesn't matter... An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth... I'm gonna stab him back.

(Lana)
=i turn to Kurbis=
Kurbis, don't. You don't know what caused this. What if it just makes things worse for everyone?

An eye for an eye darling...

I've already come close to losing him twice...

(Lana)
=i sigh=
Look, just think this through, okay? What happens if Dormii fights back?

=He hears another knock at the door and sighs. He moves away from Lynn, covering her up some. He goes to the door and opens it, Grace stands there with her arms crossed. An annoyed look on her face=

Grace: Dante.

Dante: Grace.

=She moves so she can look inside the room and to see if Lynn was in there=

Grace: You hurt her one more time. Just once.

=He raises his hand to stop her=

Dante: It's alright. My head is clear now, I know my responsibility to her.

=She looks at him and sighs=

Grace: Yeah, whatever.

He's a sensible guy, he'll understand... It was out of character for him to stab my brother

(Lana)
=i shook my ead=
But what if he's still out of character? I just want to make sure you know what you are doing. So you don't get hurt.

I can't let him stabbing my bother slide.

(Lana)
I'm not saying that. I'm just...

=i sigh again and give him a small kiss=
Be careful, okay? Don't get hurt. I'll stay with Tar.

=She motions for him to follow=

Grace: Cmon. Let's let her have some rest.

=He nods and follows, wearing his boots, a pair of pants, his dogtags, and the gauntlet=

Dante: Where are we going?

Grace: For a walk. Jeez, you can be paranoid at times.

=He looks at her=

Dante: I know you too well to believe that.

=She sighs=

Grace: Messhall, I'm hungry as hell.

(Dormii)
=i walked off towards the medbay, intent on getting some bandages, if for nothing else than to stop bleeding all over Jay. I walked down the hall, letting the blood drip freely still, and trying not to think of what I'm going to do to Draco if I see him again=

=I kiss her back=

I'll be okay, I promise..

= I head to our room and then head back to the med bay real quick=

(Dormii)
=i see Draco up ahead with Grace. I quickly turn down a corridor before I do anything, and continue on my way towards the medbay. I enter through one of the doors and start grabbing some bandages=

= I walk in=

Well... You saved me the pain of looking for you...

Dante: You've gained your sight back.

=She nods=

Grace: I've had it back for awhile.

Dante: How does the world look?

Grace: It looks like... a ship...

=They smile=

Dante: Interesting.

Grace: It looks awesome. What else can I say?

=They continue their way to the messhall=

(Dormii)
=i look up at Scythe=
Salve, Scythe. Quid agis?

Quote :

Hello, Scythe. How are you?

(Lana)
=i sat down in a chair next to Tar-tun, and watched Kurbis and Dormii=

I don't know what you said, but I'm gonna have to make this quick...

Dante: I couldnt help but think of that one time. During our days with the UNSC.

=She looks at him=

Dante: Our...

=She shakes her head=

Grace: That was a weak point for me. You caught me during that, numbskull.

=She pushes him playfully=

Dante: Yeah, but regardless it still happened and I wanted to apologise for it.

=She shrugs=

Grace: Whatever.

(Dormii)
=i looked at him, puzzled=
Numquid vindicta vos adepto eum Tar-tun?

Quote :

Are you going to get revenge for Tar-tun?

I don't mean this to mean I hate you, but you shouldn't have stabbed him

=I pull a knife out of my pocket=

(Dormii)
=i turn towards him not making any moves to stop him=
Intelligo. Erat tempore infirmitatis. Actio ultro. paeniteo.

Quote :

I understand. It was a moment of weakness. An action unbidden. I apologize.

=my blood dripped slowly still. It was only just beginning to heal, so the blood flow wasn't slowing down significantly=

=I lunge the knife into his gut=

I apologize, but Tar is important to me...

= I pull the knife out=

Hope ya don't hate me.

(Dormii)
=i stagger a moment before giving a small, weak smile and shaking my head to Scythe. Some doctors hurried over and dragged me off to a bed and started patching me up. I just lied back and relaxed, letting the doctors work, as I started to feel dizzy, probably from blood loss=

=They enter the messhall, he goes off to a table and waits for Grace to return with her food=
=She returns with a salad and a glass of water=

=It was a pleasant surprise for him since on the norm, people would go for cooked meat=

Dante: How have you been?

Grace: Well, after the mutiny that you and Shelby had began, I had gotten shot.

=He nods=

Dante: I apologise for that.

Grace: Don't, it's alright.

... There you go Tar...

= I look at Lana =

...

(Dormii)
=i just waited. Someone tried to ask me what blood type I was, but I didn't answer. I just made the best "whatever" gesture I could do and let them continue. Someone checked my stab wound for any major problems while another person bandaged me up. Eventually a blood drip was put in=

(Lana)
=i nod and motion for him to come back over to Tar=

= I walk over to Lana and Tar-tün=

Hey...

Dante: Do you forgive me?

Grace: You shouldnt ask me that.

Dante: I mean, are we still friends.

=She nods=

Grace: Hell yeah. It's just that you can be so annoying at times.

=He smiles=

Dante: That's good then.

=A person from the medical staff walks up to their table and whispers into Dante's ear=

"Assault of Dormii Fortuni by a man by the name of Scythe"

=He sighs and stands up=

Dante: I will be in the medbay.

=He leaves off=

(Lana)
Hey.

=i grab his hand=
Feel better?

=He sighs as he walks through the halls. He shouldnt exactly go to see Dormii so soon after their little fight, but he was willing to take the chance. Whatever would happen, would hapen. If Dormii tried anything they would be in the medbay anyway, so it wouldnt matter at all=

I feel better... But Feel a little bad

(Lana)
=i nod=
I understand. Come on. Sit. Relax.

=i pull him towards me=

=I sit on the floor=
