*~The Fifth Faction~* (Pirates SMP)

Birdseye View (2)

"I'm fiNAllY done..!"

I let out a sigh as I fell back on a chair in the recruitment office, glad to finally be done with today. as I fell into the chair it I realized just how tired I was. Slumping down further I felt my eyelids start to get heavy. letting out a smol stretch and a yawn, I leaned further back on the chair and allowed my eyes to close.. For... just a.. moment.....

"Ohhhh CP~~~~~~!!!"

"I'll tidy up in a second...! Let me rEst...!"

...wait.. who the hell was that? Is someone on the roof???

"Now, is that any way to greet an old friend?"

.........oh.........

Suddenly, that all too familiar flash of red fell from the (intentional) hole in the ceiling, which I was seriously regretting not patching. Red, blue and yellow blurs drifted and pirouetted before eventually mingling with the red carpet in the center. If it wasn't for those piercing blue eyes of his, he would've blended right in among the crimson shades of Rug.

...Grian...

"We really need to stop meeting like this, CP~"

"We need to stop meeting altogether- What do you want..?"

"Oh, just wondering where my invite was this time~?"

"You know you're banned, why does it matter?"

"Stop the sass CP, i thought you'd forgotten about me~"

I will murder this man if he doesn't-

"-Stop calling me that..."

"What the hEll is the difference???"

"My name is CPK, Bird-brain..."

"You're one to talk, seeing as you're one of us~"

"Don't you Dare compare me to you... we couldn't be further apart..."

I saw his face distort into a twisted, yet almost falsely innocent grin. He always found a way to make me question... well... everything... everything i thought i knew.. Every choice I've made.. It's just a matter of guessing what I'm going to lose my grasp on this time...

"And you couldn't be more wrong... you're one of Us CPK, whether you like it or not. You can't change who you are... you can hide it, cover it up, overshadow it however you want, but it'll always be there... waiting under the rug and nicking your ankles as you walk by... we're the only people who were willing to take you in after being shunned by everyone else anyways... you're pathetic.. yet we were still willing to take your sorry arse in, the only people you could turn to... and this is the thanks we get..? For trying to help you..? ...so... you can either stay here, wasting away like some deadbeat Nobody... or... you could join us... spread your wings and fly from your tiresome, repetitive cage... stop seeing Bar after Bar after Bar with no end, see what the world can look like from a bird's eye view for once... see what Fun... can really... feel like..."

I swallowed hard... his words swirled and jeered through my mind, as too was he, swirling around me like a shark hunting its prey... slowly luring me to the center of the room like a whirlpool too strong to Resist... and a voice like his... was.. Hard.. to ignore... to say the least...

"But of course... it's your choice, CPK..."

He let out a short scoff, but it felt like a single bullet straight through the center of my chest. Like a harpoon to a whale. Like an arrow to a deer... he placed a hand on my shoulder... I've never found out how a man can feel so Warm but sound so Cold... look so sweet on the outside but be so deadly within... have the voice that can flow smoother than the perfect winds blowing your sails back home, but speak words harsher than the storm blowing you off course... the Oxymoron of a man... the juxtaposition of being... as his face leaned in closer to my ear, i could feel his Breathing on my Neck..

"...Make. the right. one..."

Just at that moment, the doors of the office flung open. I cocked my head in the direction where the hinges swooped aside. out of the corner of my eye, I saw that bright flash of Red flee in a noisy heap back out the hole he came down from. I looked at the two buccaneers In the gaping doorway, Martyn the Mood-Lifter, and the other... oh.. Owen...

(ik this bit was a lot shorter than the rest, but i think it's better than having one chapter thats ungodly long... it's here~! :D)
