Stasis

.3.

"Stop it trix" Cole stir in his sleep, hands trying to protect his face from the wetness. "five more minutes" he mumbles, rolling to his side in a fetal position.

He let out a contented sigh ready to find peace in his dream, then remembered he wasn't at the swamps with trix and that thought had him bolted upright, if the crusty cackles above him wasn't any indication enough.

"I told you that'd wake him up" male 1

"Good morning sunshine. Did you enjoy the shower" male 2

"Golden! wasn't it?!" Male 3 smirked.

The soilders barked out in a fit of laughter giving Cole enough time to cleared his fogged mind, before realization set in and he was covered in mantar urine.

Cole's wished he was still in the fetal position in the womb as he  blinked up at the soldiers towering over him.

Why had he decided to stay the night with these immoral creatures trying to fit in,  to be one of them, to eat, laugh and make memories.

His thought strayed as he watch the first morning sun appeared and the city come alive before it was blocked from his eyes and a huge figure appeared instead.

"Hey , you're blocking the veiw" he stretches, wiping the wetness from his face. "By the way  thanks for the shower, you shouldn't have!" he clipped, scarasm dripping from his tongue, smiling grimly at the lot , confusing the smug on their faces.

Cole knew he strongly reeked of body fluid , and the colprets were staring at him as if he's probably insane. 'How dear they, do i resemble a urinal ,or  a piece of road kill filth' Cole made a fist in the dirt below him , facing the three brawny males that could easily trampled him."what can i do for you all ?"

Sobering rather quickly the biggest of the three, step forward his feet triple the size of cole's. Stooping to the boy's level , a smirk weighing on his cheek. "Hear that krypton, what do we want?" He glance at his friend over his shoulder. "Do you by any chance missing anything of late?"

"Come to think of it captain zazen, I sure have" krypton paused, legs apart, his arms at his sides near his blade.

"It appears we caught  ourselves a thief!" The last soilder accuses. Eating cole up with a sickening look of want roaming in his colored iries.

Cole blinked, switching his gaze to watched captain zazen plucked the chalice from the dirt beside him and he went rigid. His mouth slam shut.

'Captain zazen!' , he hummed inwardly. The captain of the army ....  'Fuck! Why did I  have to open my big mouth today, and gotten myself into deepr shit'.

"Do you know what we do to thieves, human?"captain  straighten to his height, intimidatingly drawing his sword. His face morph into something sinister.

"Captain?"

Zazen stare at the boy longer than he'd liked and cole can't interpret what he must be thinking."Speak kalco" zazen finally turn away, leaving cole to actually breath once more.

The male whose name cole now know step forward, his sketchy gaze made cole flinch away especially when kalco pinched his cheek. "we could find other ways to punish the brat other than killing him" he suggested to his captain, leaving cole to attempt getting his flushed cheeks back.

"He's so soft, what is he made of , clay?" kalco expression tight with curiosity , but cole knew there's  something else behind it.

It came so quick, cole hadn't seen it coming. he couldn't controlled it, the bile rising to his mouth, he wonder if it was the unknown drink he consumed last night or was it the statement just made.
