Chapter 10: Bittersweet reunion

Gizmo's POV

There was one more place I had to go before I headed back to the place I call home. The roof. I actually went there often, when Vi was around we use to come up here and goof off all the time, I also use to come up here with Claggor when I was scared, nervous, annoyed, or just needed someone to talk to. He was like the brother I never had and I was grateful for him. The night he died, he had told me to meet him up here if anything was to go wrong, and something did go wrong. My whole world came crumbling down into pieces. I mean, hell, I can't even see my white haired friend, the only one still alive and healthy. I felt stupid sitting up there, waiting for someone who was dead. But none the less I went up there every week and sat, waiting, hoping that he would be sitting next to me and telling me a stupid story, or Vi holding my hand as we faked a slow dance on the roof, or even just for it all to be a nightmare and I wake up on the coach with powder asking me to help her color one of her new inventions. But no. As Silco had told me a thousand times before, "they're dead Gizmo, all of them, you have to move on."

As I entered Silcos office he was righting on some papers, I could tell he was probably on edge from everything that was going on. "Hello Gizmo, may I ask why you have just barged into my office." He said sternly without looking up at me. "It's happening again. The visions, there coming back." He sighed and got up from his chair while pulling out a syringe from his desk.  "I'm glad you came to me by yourself this time, it shows how you want October gone for good, like I do." I just smiled light heartedly. I wasn't sure if I wanted her gone, not completely, if she was gone would the memories go to? I  didn't want to forget everything, some things yes, I know it's selfish, I know I should let it go, but I just want to hold onto her, the memories that is, since I can't hold onto her. But he couldn't know that. He would up my dosage incase I was having second thoughts. "Yes" I responded "I want to be Gizmo, that's who I am,
Not Oc-" I could fell myself hesitate, I hadn't said her name in awhile, like years. That name held so much of my pain. "October." He smiled. Almost like he was happy with my hesitation. He walked over and injected me, I let out a scream, I had forgotten how much this shit hurts. By the time it was over my knees had buckled and I was sitting on the floor trying to catch my breath. "I need to go talk to Jinx, I've already had a conversation with her about what the two of you did " he grabbed my chin and lifted it to look at him "I know you had good intentions but it brought us unwanted attention, nothing like this is to happen again, understand?" I got up and stood up straight before responding "Yes Silco."With that he walked off. Sometimes I forget, I'm not like Powder to him like some people believe. Yes he might be the closest thing to a father figure I have, but before anything, he is my boss.

I talked to Jinx for a little bit before Sevika asked me to come with her to the bar. I didn't really understand why. I thought maybe something was wrong or someone had forgotten to pay there dues. But here we are sitting at a bar while Sevika gets drunk and plays cards. If I had to guess I would say Either I needed to supervise her or she was suppose to take me somewhere but got distracted. Either way I was bored and didn't like the stench of alcohol. I walked outside of the place to look around. I started to follow this guy who was missing his dues to be exact. I pinned him against a while and tried to beat some since into him. This man was anything but innocent. But that's when I heard clattering at the bar that Sevika was at. I ran as fast as I could, you could hear the throwing and breaking. I decided to go from above so I could take out whoever it was using the 'element of surprise'. As I had just gotten up there I heard part of there conversation. "where's my sister? Where's October? Where is he keeping them?" The hooded voice asked. The voice was so familiar, not to mention no one had used that name for me in a while. "Keeping them? You mean Jinx and Gizmo?" Sevika let out a bitter laugh. "They work for him." Just then Sevika drove a knife through the hooded figures stomach. Thats when I caught a glimpse of it, the bright pink hair. "Their like his daughters.Not to mention Gizmo is his literal right hand women." Something inside of me screamed to go help her. Without thinking I jumped down and punched Sevika in the face, separating her from Vi. "WHAT THE HELL GIZMO?!WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I stopped. What the hell was I doing? If Vi is alive that means she left me, abandoned me. I turned around and grabbed her face. It hurt so much to look into her eyes again. After she left me all alone those years ago. Her eyes grew wide as they met mine. "Tobi?" It took everything in me not to break down and hug her. Hell, if Silco hadn't given me that extra injection this morning I probably would have. But something broke me from my thoughts. A slicing pain shot through my arm causing me to let go of her face. "NO" Vi screamed as I toppled backwards. I looked up and there it was. An enforcer. It didn't take to long to fit the pieces together. "Your with an enforcer?" I asked looking into her eyes. The amount of emotion that sentence held even shocked me, let along Sevika who in all the years of knowing me as Gizmo had never heard that kind of emotion come from me before. That's how she knew that October was taking over and weakening me. Vi wasn't able to answer, only give me a pleading look, as to ask me to 'stay with her, don't go back with Sevika, don't confirm her biggest fears.' Just then another shot was fired out, that another, than another. Sevika grabbed me and pulled me to my feet before leading me out and away from Vi. I could hear her pleads for me to come back. But I couldn't. I just couldn't . As we turned the corner a sudden relization washed over me cause if both hope and fear. Vi, was alive.

I'm so sorry about the really inconsiderate updates but I will, at very least, try to keep atleast one chapter every two weeks.
