Waking Hours

Yvonne was dying. Prism was bleeding. Pier had been knocked out. Members were either dead, unconscious or barely conscious. Gunshots rang in the ears of all who were still conscious, which weren't many. "Alright, our work is done here. Let's go!" The attackers left.

Hours later, Pier awoke. He wasn't at HQ. He was at a physician. He was in stable condition. Rubbing his eyes, he slowly got up, only to feel an excruciating pain in his left calf. His leg had been mauled by bits of sharp wood. The medical centre had done what they could to help. Neither Prism nor Pier had any fatal wounds and were in decent condition compared to the rest. Yvonne would survive. So far only eight members out of the original thirty-two at the scene were alive. Within two hours that amount was down to five. Yvonne, Prism, Pier, Quirk and Jaks. Yes, strange names (except Yvonne), but Quirk changed his name from Carl years ago, and Jaks, well, he has always been Jaks. If you're wondering who Warlock is, he is the leader of a rival guild, the Red Guild. The two guilds have been clashing for years, after Yvonne assassinated Warlock's cousin, whom he was very close to. I'm sure you're thinking Yvonne would never have survived those shots, but as Prism says: "She's a tough bitch." You will have to excuse Prism's crude language.

One physician pulled a gun on Yvonne. He knew about the assassinations and thought it better to just shoot her to save others. He did the right thing, but Yvonne was expecting that, and soon the man was stabbed in the hand with one knife and had another one to his throat. She would've killed him, but she was feeling 'nice' today. Yvonne was hated by everyone she knew, she was only feared. Prism longed to fire a shot at her, and Yvonne knew that very well. She liked being hated, and she loved being feared. She was messed up.

Prism came into Pier's room. "Hey, how you feeling?" "Better, just have an aching leg..." "Oooh that looks painful!" "Not as painful as that gaping wound in your side!" he said with concern about her well-being. "Heard anything about Yvonne?" he continued. "Yeah, she nearly killed a physician." "Only nearly? That's one lucky physician!" "What about Wae?" he asked. Wae was the only friend (besides Prism) that Pier had in the Dagger Guild. Wae was actually an undercover agent from the English Crown to learn of the Guild's plans so they can be thwarted and brought to justice. Wae wanted a more peaceful England. He was a true pacifist, and never used his weapon in all his life. "He...passed away...peacefully though. His last words were: The light... I'm coming home..." "Referring to Heaven. He has always been a strong believer. The three of us all are. God is all that keeps me going in life." "Same here," she agreed. "I love you, Andrew." This was the first time he had been called Andrew in 2 and a half years. "I love you too, Delia." Delia is Prism's birth name. "I thought you hated me..." she whispered. "Are you kidding? I've loved you since we first met." Prism and Pier stare into each others eyes before sharing a kiss.
