A Step Out of the Dark

Awkward Amends and Battle Strategies

I slowly made my way through the halls, not having a destination in mind. Just trying to clear my mind and weigh the pros and cons of going alone Vs. going with Rubio and his 2 teams. I was quickly freed from my thoughts. As I rounded the corner, McKay ricocheted off of me.

At first, I didn't recognize her. I offered her a hand and she flinched and let out a scream as if I was going to hit her.

McKay: "AAHH please don't hit me!!!"

I just stared at her, lost at what she said. Why would I hit her? Once I realized who it was, everything made sense. And honestly, I don't blame her for thinking I'm going to hit her.

Y/n: "Bro, just get up. You're causing a scene. Plus you're annoying me. What's got you so timid?"

She continues to cower in fear. Growing impatient, I just pick her up and set her against the wall.

Y/n: "Yo... you good?"

She just nods her head and doesn't say a word. Upon further examination, she was pale as a ghost. She must've been that afraid of me. I began to walk away, but then she put her hand on my shoulder while looking down.

Y/n: "Yes?? May I help you?"

McKay: "Do you think we'll get her back?" She said in a low, sad tone.

Y/n: "I'm not worried about bringing her back. I know that she'll come back. I just don't know if she'll come back alive. The longer we stay here, the less of a chance she has of living. We need to act."

McKay: "I know...I know. I'm just... worried about her. She's strong, but there's no telling how much longer she'll be strong for."

Y/n: "Trust me, I'm well aware of that." I roll my eyes and continue talking. "Like I said, we need to act. Staying here isn't going to change anything."

McKay: "So what's our plan? Are we talking Rubio and his 2 teams?"

Y/n: "Nope. No. Never. WE ain't doing shit. You are going to stay here and stay outta my way."

McKay: "B-but I wanna help..."

Y/n: "Fuck no! You really thought I was going to take you with me?? Think again."

McKay: "Well...I thought we were a team."

Y/n: "Shit, I thought so too. That was before someone decided to fuck things up."

McKay: "You're still uptight about that?!"

Y/n: "You dumb bit-" I stop myself for a second. "What the flying fuck do you think? I sure am. You really thought I was going to forget the shit you said about my friends and family??"

McKay: "I fucking apologized to you from the bottom of my heart. What more would you want?"

Y/n: "You apologized? Bull fucking shit! You higher than Tupac and Snoop Dogg if you believe that."

McKay: "Look! You're making it hard for me to talk to you."

Y/n: "Good! I'm glad I'm making you feel this way. Take the hint and leave me alone."
