CHAPTER TEN
"you can say what you'd like, cause see i would die for you."
"dio!"

o THE VALHALLA o
petra stood in front of the two grand doors, a mischievous look in her eye. "you skeptics don't deserve the spoils that await. but i'm a generous captain." she smirked, then opened the doors.
the room was filled with a bunch of random items, almost like this was a lost and found as well. marcus grabbed lauries hand, dragging her to a set of chess.
laurie scoffed and pulled away from marcus, who was smiling at the board and her. he was clearly very excited to play chess. "i'm not playing chess." laurie said, walking away.
he caught up to her, interlacing their hands and pulling her to face him. "please?" he pleaded.
she smiled at him before pressing her lips in a straight line, and pulling her hand back. "no."
~~~
"100 bucks she doesn't make it." chico stuck his hand out for marcus to shake. marcus shook it with a smirk on his face, knowing full well that saya could do it.
saya turnt her hands on the handles, concentrating on the obstacle ahead. she swiftly took off, her speed increasing as she went on. laurie squeezed marcus' hand out of fear, turning her head away just in case the girl got injured.
laurie heard the skids of the bike landing and slowly turned back around, to find that saya was alright, she was smiling even. "can we make it bigger?" she asked, making marcus chuckle and hold his hand out towards chico. chico rolled his eyes and walked away.
~~~
"so what's mass extinction?" marcus asked, rummaging through a box of random items.
"world can't support five billion people. that's some science shit." chico answered, laughing at the end of his sentence. he picked up a old hat, before throwing it back into his box. marcus picked up a fake rose and through it towards laurie, to which she scoffed and pulled all the leaves off of. marcus stared at her sadly, pretending to be hurt.
"dio!" jaden yelled.
chico rolled his eyes, turning around to lean against the wall, now facing the group. "amount of fossil fuel we're guzzling, humans got fifty years- till its "mad max" time."
saya smiled, throwing her hands up in the air. "all hail satan!" laurie laughed at the girls theatrics, then walked over to marcus. he looked up and gave her a small smile, then going back to looking through some old vhs tapes.
"we should play some music. just need to find a vhs player." laurie said, beginning to look around the boxes scattered about the hallway. she picked one up, handing it to chico who had motioned for it.
"the rank and vile discovers "the head on the door" and suddenly they deserve our praise?" petra asked marcus, clearly unamused. marcus smirked back at her handing laurie a tape. she examined it before chunking it back in the box.
"you have shit taste." she told him. he scoffed and slightly pushed her shoulder, causing her to fumble on her feet a bit. "you bitch."
chico put a tape in the machine, "in between days by the cures" coming on. laurie laughed at the song, but grabbed marcus hands, twirling herself around. he smiled at the girl as she became dizzy, and held her waist to keep her from falling.
