You Look Lost

Visions

"have you still given up?"

Striker voice echos in Moxxie's head making him look up to the snake seeing his serious expression made him blush.

"I don't know I... I mean an imp is alot to raise"

Moxxie stutters but is hushed by a soft kiss accompanied by a warm hand that cups his cheek drawing the pink colour more to his cheeks. Striker leans back a little his thumb rubbing slow over Moxxie's flesh the claw scratching the skin ever so lightly.

"Is it what you want Moxxie?"

Striker asks again more softly Moxxie places his hand on Striker's clearly thinking about it until he looks back up to him.

"Some day"

Moxxie says with a smile making the snake chuckle.

"Some day then"

Striker hums leaning down pressing a kiss on Moxxie's head making the smaller purr softly.

.-.

A week had passed and Gris had settled in well and was a great aid to Moxxie in making creams and ointment but also he was much more confident in himself. Gris enters the shop with a bright smile holding a box filled with empty glass bottles in it. Gris notices Moxxie holding a letter with an odd look on his face he steps inside the sound of the door shutting catches Moxxie's attention.

"You okay?"

Gris asks and Moxxie holds up the letter with a sigh and saddened expression.

"It's nothing bad looks like Striker is going be a few more days at Stolas's place, Blitz set the surrounding forest on fire"

Moxxie says placing down the letter as Gris walks to the counter and places the box on it.

"Are they okay?"

Gris asks worried and Moxxie waves a dismissive hand before taking the bottles out the box.

"They are fine however Striker's tree house was burnt down and he is pretty pissed"

Moxxie says softly while taking the corks out the bottles and Gris walks to the sink and turns on the water ready to clean the bottles. The door opening makes them both look and Gris freezes in the spot upon seeing Galut stood in the door way. Moxxie straightened up blocking Galut's eyes on Gris.

"Can I help you?"

Moxxie asks firmly and Galut who holds out his hand ignoring Moxxie like he was looking through him.

"Gris I know you didn't mean to push me and you ran away but it's time to come home"

Galut says Gris steps forward to stand by Moxxie and shakes his head.

"Galut, you know I did mean to just like you mean what you do"

Gris says holding up his hand which was still wrapped due to it being not fully healed, Galut shuts the door and steps forward with a cold look in his eyes.

"I wasn't fucking asking Gris"

Galut snarls at him Moxxie hand finds a bottle under under the counter, it was something special he had mixed up for an emergency.

.-.

Stolas stops in mid walk his eyes darting left and right his breath quickens as he hears panicked voices. Blitz stops moving to seeing Stolas knowing he was seeing something.

"Stolas?"

Blitz asks making Striker look as well purple and blue swirl around Stolas making Blitz eyes widen it was rare his vision could be seen by all.

"Run Gris!"

Moxxie's voice screams through sharp gust of wind making Striker look around them in worry. The blue and purple bounce across the dirt forming into was seems to be a chair, Moxxie forms dousing Galut in a bottle making the bigger imp growl in pain, Moxxie and Gris run disappearing out of the smoke.

"I'll kill you! You damn runt!"

Galut screams the blue and purple smoke fades quickly and Stolas looked panicked to Blitz and Striker.

"Go now!"

Stolas says shaken by such a strong vision he could feel Moxxie's and Gris fear like it was his own.

.-.

Once in the stairway Moxxie slams the door shut and pulls across the bolt which Striker had put in for him, a bang to the door makes Moxxie jump back to the steps.

"Come on"

Gris says panicked at the wood starts to bend and creek, Gris grabs Moxxie's arm pulling him up the stairs. They run up as the door smashes inward with a loud bang they both run into Moxxie's room shutting the door and lean on it as Galut tries to open it.

"Out through the window!"

Moxxie says quickly nodding to the window Gris runs to the window shakily trying to open the latch but stops to see Galut bust open the door shunting Moxxie to the floor.

"You fucking runt"

Galut hissed Moxxie scoots back but is grabbed by the neck making him gasp, Galut brings them face to face with a grin.

"You have got in my way for the last time"

Galut hisses and tightens his grip Gris runs at them grabbing Galut's arm trying to stop him but gets shoved to the floor. Moxxie kicks and scratches trying to breathe, Gris remember a small parting gift Striker had given him so he pulls a small blade from his belt and drives it into Galut's leg making the imp shout in pain. Galut throws Moxxie over the room into a chest of draws stunning him. Galut removes the blade from his leg discarding it on the floor before grabbing Gris who tries to wriggle free.

"Damn brat"

Galut growls trying to still Gris's thrashing he grabs both of his wrists in one hand and grabs his face making him look at Galut.

"I'm done with your attitude, take a seat"

Galut spits with a cruel smirk before stomping down on Gris ankle making him scream in agony, Galut released Gris letting his fall to a heap on the floor holding his ankle Moxxie gets to his knees holding his side unsure if something was broken. Galut walks to Moxxie the floor broads creak and groan as he gets closer Moxxie feels a flash of fear as Galut stops stood over him. The very real reality that he could die here was now crushing him, that he was going to lose everything including his life. Moxxie couldn't stop his fear which causes tears in eyes and Galut chuckle darkly.

"Don't worry runt I'll send flowers to your half breed"
