Daggers of love

chapter 29

My eyes open in a flash, an extremely audible gasp leaves my mouth as I jolt awake. It was just a dream, thank fuck it was just a dream. For a dream the hug between Marcus and I felt verry real, I feel like I can still feel his warmth.

Oh, wait I can.

"Hey, hey, its ok, your ok." I hear from above me. moving my eyes slightly I'm met with a horrific sight. Marcus, who seems to be holding me. I sit up from my laying position and find my self even more on his lap than I was before, still in the Elvis costume.

"Um... what happened?" I question him.

"You passed out." He looks at me, analysing my face. He slowly reaches a hand up and wipes a tear I didn't even know I had produced. "Are you ok?" he asks softly. I pull away from him, my brain still trying to process what the fuck just happened.

"I'm fine, just go back to whatever you were talking about." quickly, I get up from my position, moving across to the other side of the room. I could feel my cheeks burning and this is the last group of people I wish to see me blush.

"So, what, mass extinction?" Marcus continues on, holding a metal thing in his hand.

"World can't support 5 billion people." Chico answers, metal glove thing in hand. "that's some science shit." I look around the room to see what people are doing now, viktors is wilding what looks to be a sledge hammer, the hippy hid is looking through a box of some sorts. Saya is folding up the flag from earlier and Petra is eyeing some explosives in her hand.

I would say I knew what they were talking about after chicos science comment but after I finally took off the Elvis costume I began to zone out. My mind went back to my dream, why would my subconscious mind bring that forward? It is my dream life but, why Marcus? I know I may have a little crush on him but that's all it is, a crush. I will get over it eventually, right?

"Hey, Petra already has costume for ending of world." Viktors stupid voice breaks me out of my dissociation. I look over at Petra to see she didn't particularly like that comment, I say that because she took out a dagger she found and started angrily walking towards viktors. I acted quickly and ran towards her, grabbing her hand with the dagger in it.

"Hey, hey, hey!" I say, grabbing her and holding her back. "Stabbing him will not make him any less of an asshole." I took the dagger from her grasp.

"What did I say?" I give viktors a "really?" look before placing the dagger in the top of my skirt. It was surprisingly sharp and did cut me a little bit but who cares, just a few more lines to add to the collection.

"You, ok?" I hear Petra ask me, just as some random music starts playing. I simply nod and walk away from her, not wanting to get into it.

"It appears you have one redeeming quality." I hear Marcus remark. I look over to see what was happening, seems chico was the one who chose this surprisingly upbeat playlist.

"The rank and vile discovers the head on the door, and suddenly they deserve our praise?" Petra adds as Saya searches through a box next to her, pulling out a bat.

"Hey, he could have put on Julio Iglesias." Marcus defends, he makes a good point.

"Name one Cure B side." Petra edges on, God as much as I love this girl, she has no chill. Sadly, for her chico also has no chill.

"You got your B side right here." he responds, grabbing what most would assume would be his dick.

"Charming chico, real charming." I say in disgust, moving away from the group.

"I think I made my point" I hear Petra say, just as I begin to zone out again. my mind focused on more than making a point. My now somehow sober self was panicking about my daggers even more than before, at least I have this random knife tucked in my skirt. My dissociated brain was filled with both scenarios of what could happen while I don't have my daggers and images of my dream. I did hear a few sentences from the conversations happening around me, chico had a younger brother who died, shocker. Don't know if they ever mentioned that in the comics but oh well.
