Back To Eden

"I don't need anything." I sat upon my bed, wrapped in his sweater and shorts.

The tall figure in front of me turns around and looks me in the eye. "Don't be so stubborn Reilynn. I'm trying to help you."

I scoffed. "Bullshit II you and III left me in the middle of fucking nowhere. I nearly died!" I yelled at him. Who the fuck does he think he his?

He laughed underneath his mask. It outlined his smile. "You didn't nearly die, you were out there for a day when that human found your ass." He emphasized human. It rung in all corners of my head.

"Why are you here?"

"You don't remember?"

"I couldn't even remember your name a few minutes ago." I spat with venom. He chuckled.

"You always were such a Dory." His fingers traced the rim of my candle. He looked up at me with narrowed eyes, locking my hazel ones with his. "You know Reilynn-"

"Nobody calls me that. It's just Rei. There's no Lynn. Just Rei." I told him.

"Rei? Oh no babe that won't work for us." IV? I snapped my head behind me, it his him.

"Nice to see you too." He laughed as I glared at him. I looked back at II.

"Where's Vessel?" I felt a warm hand on the back of my neck now.

A voice whispered in my ear. "Forget about me? What about III?" He chuckled in my ear. I stood up and leaned against my bedroom door.

"So what? Is this some fucking family reunion? I have a life now." I scowled at all 3 of them.

"We know you want to come back. We didn't forget about you Lynn." My blood began to boil now.

"And? What have you been spying on me?! I find II in my fucking bathroom and you two spawn out of nowhere! And for fucks sake it is Rei!" I yelled only for a response to piss me off more.

"What was the point II? She doesn't want to go." He said flatly.

"Your coming whether you like it or not 'Rei.'" He put air quotes around my name.

"And who the hell is gonna make me?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She still pisses me the fuck off. Anything that falls out of that bitches mouth is nothing but insults and bullshit.

We walked carrying a unconscious Reilynn. I don't why or understand why we can't call her that. It is the name that Sleep gave her. He choose her. Sleep designed her, she was going to rule Eden once they went away. Gods and Goddesses don't die, that lock themselves away when its time.

I still don't know why we left her.

"II," III spoke for the first time since we left the house. "What the fuck are we going to do with her?"

"Sleep will tell us." I simply put it. Vessel will know what to do. He is the 'chosen one.'

We got to the edge of our campsite. Ours is separated from the others. Before Reilynn left, it was the 5 of us. Vessel, me, III, IV, and Lynn. Lynn and IV were very close before she left. Vessel and her had it out for each other. Pranks, screaming matches. None of which we tried to intervene.

Vessel sat next to a burnt out fire we started before we left. He looked up at us when we laid her down on the wooden bench. His expression turning bitter.

"I don't fucking understand why Sleep wanted her back. We kick her out and then just bring her back." He stopped, a strong breeze sweeping through the campsite.

Sleep.

Vessel shuddered and nodded as the god whispered commands and cursed him for speaking ill of him. He got up and went to his tent and came out with a knife. He held it over his wrist and sliced it, holding it over the now freshly sparked fire it taking all of the blood that rose out his arm.

IV got the med kit and bandaged him up. "That was stupid of you." He chuckled.

Vessel winced as he put peroxide on his wound. "A moment of weakness. It happens." He spoke with a tone to make us all shut up.

Once IV got done, he left to go ponder his thoughts in his tent.
