Painted Reality | Xaden Riorson x FEM!OC

Mother Fucker

We made it to the bottom of the stairs where a rider was taking names of wanna-be cadets. Vi and M walk ahead of me by about two paces when we reach the name keeper Vi writes down hers and as I'm writing mine I hear 

"Are you Mira Sorrengail?" ah fuck my life, day one. Literally day one. 

"Yes," her spine stiffens and she stands straighter and gestures to us "and these are my sisters"

"cool" the guy smiles and I roll my eyes

The one thing I didn't want to happen just did - attention. Before anyone can say anything else the bell chimes signalling it's time to go. I turn to Mira and Vi, I pull them into a hug

"I'm gonna miss you, shitheads," Mira says playfully and after a second we break the hug and she turns to Vi "Make sure I don't get left with this kid by myself for the rest of my life-" she ruffles my hair and I swat her hand away and she turns to me "and you, make sure she doesn't die"

"Hey," Vi and I both say at the same time we all laugh

"It's honestly scary when you two do that," she fakes a shudder and nods in dissmissasl "oh and two more things-" we turn to face her again "stay away from Fen Riorsons son - Xaden"

"He didn't kill Brennan," I mumble but nod, it's hardly Xadens fault his father happened to shoot Brennan. We know better than anyone not to judge a child by the actions of a parent.

"and...I love you guys" she gives us a sad smile and we give one in return

"We love you to" We say at the same time and M does her fake shudder making us laugh, we get called to the stairs and as we're walking I shoot

"We'll write to you next year Mira" over my shoulder

~<*>~

Vi and I make our way up the stairs. She was behind me, there was a blond in front of me, his relic sparkled up his arm. Gods those things are fucking beautiful. I shake my head and look towards my sister, she is talking to one of the girls and when I turn they are swapping boots

"What in all the Gods are you doing Violet?" 

"Her boots soles are too flat" exactly the reason Mira made the new ones for us "and this is Rhi"

I shake her hand and give 'her a nice to meet you' she does the same. I sigh and stop Vi unlasing her boots "Ray I have to- what are you doing?"

I start undoing mine instead "Vi you need all the help you can get with the death trap," I give Rhi a boot and she gives me hers "plus I'm pretty sure I could fucking cartwheel over the parapet" confidence is key right. 

I can almost hear Violet roll her eyes "Thank you" Rhi says standing

 " I should be the one thanking you," I say "I am thankful I'm making friends and not enemies on the first day"

"Yeah," Vi throws over her shoulder and takes another step up "Thats always a big issue for her"

"Hey I'm right here" We all laugh 

We had fallen into a comfortable silence when someone barges past us "Move slow pokes"

I grip the side of the wall and see a larger blond haired man stop in front of me. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. "Oi motherfucker" he turns

"Yes" he elongates the 's' as he drawls the word "what can I do for you"

"absoultly jack shit" I sneer "you could have killed at least ten people using that stupid fucking move" 

He shrugs "less people for me to have to kill later" okay you cocky fuck "plus it wouldn't have hurt if that one dies" he points to Vi and I feel her hand on the back of my elbow. I silent warning. 

It does fuck all though I take one of the daggers at my rib and place it where his spleen would be "No one. Talks. About. My. Sister" I send the tip into his skin - enough to hurt but not enough to do any serious damage,

"Next" the rider-lady with another scroll says I let Vi and Rhi go first. Then scroll lady adresses me "please let the canditate go"

I snarl and sheath my blade turning to see Vi talking to - 

no

fucking
