Rin's Stories : The Chosen : Ortus Corvi

Chapter 6 : Red

"They say when you're angry, really furious, you see red. They were right." The woman says in a more serious tone

We fade from black to hear the car still driving as it mixes with the thunder and Rain. We see Corvus, her face frozen with a rage. Next to her in the passenger seat the pistol, an occasional red light flickers through the window as she drives through the streets, an occasional Car or two passing by. The Radio slowly breaks through the noise.

"..and we urge you to stay indoors, this storm could cause injury or death. If you're caught outside, seek shelter." Corvus turns the radio off.

"Where is it.. there it is. The garage." She says as she pulls over, turning out the lights. She watches, her face showing hesitation. She grabs the pistol and checks it, struggling, but showing some practice. "I never thought.. I'd have to hold one of these again.. but this time.. it's loaded." She sighs, as she thinks to it. We see a faint shift in scenery, as we see Raven and some Vultures, including Garrett sticking up some people, a few of them including Corvus holding pistols. Slowly we fade back to Corvus who's taking a breath. "Okay.. okay.. let's do this.. for Lily." She says as she prepares to get out, but her phone rings and she lets out a sigh.

"Hello?"

"Aye, Raven.. it's Aya, I left some more party supplies in the trunk, happy hunting."

"Thanks.." she says as she hangs up. "Party supplies?" Raven says as she gets out. She walks to the trunk and opens it, she gasps and takes a step back. We see her trunk has a few boxes of ammunition for a pistol, rifle, and shotgun. We also see a case holding a high powered rifle with a scope, and a shotgun. "Who the fuck are you?" Corvus says in a whisper. She shakes her head and opens a box, taking three more magazines, "Nine in the pistol already, these are.. eight round magazines, so that should give me... a total of 33 rounds... god, what am I doing.. going to war?" Raven sighs, placing the pistol down. "Yes.. Lily is in the hospital, they need to be stopped, before this gets worse." Corvus says as she picks up the pistol again. Thunder booms, We watch her as she reaches in the trunk again, she takes out a thigh holster. she struggles for a moment as she tries to put it on, she eventually gets it in place and holsters the pistol while she pockets the other three magazines. She takes out the switchblade, the rains gliding off its blade, and looks at the garage. "Okay.. let's do this.. for Lily." She says as she walks with more confidence. She walks over to a window, inside she can see Five vultures, and Tony, he's wearing the same hoodie from the figure who watched the ambulance with a smirk. "There you are, you need to go, the rest aren't the problem." She takes out the pistol and aims it, her hand slightly trembling. "Damn it..." she says as she lowers it. "I can't.." Rain showers her face. She turns away and takes a breath, she turns back spotting her reflection in the window. "You can do it.. they tried to.. Strip you, beat you, took a shot at you, they put... put Lily in the hospital.. you need to do this.." Corvus says to Raven from her reflection. Corvus aims again, then gasps, he's gone.

"Corvus... come out here." A man's voice says. "Let's do this, Corvus." Thunder erupts as Corvus walks out, her pistol already aimed towards him. "Oh, would you look at this.. this may have been the first time you've done something Smart." He growls.

"You... You hurt someone close to Me." Raven mumbles

"What? Did you say something? Well let me tell you something, either take the shot, or don't. You have three seconds, then I'm gonna take out my pistol and shoot you."

"Don't fucking think about it." Corvus says.

"One..."

"Tony!" She yells.

"Two.."

"Fucking stop, wait, Just..."

"Three!" He shouts as he moves his hand to his back, Corvus pulls the trigger, her eyes slightly shut as The shot rings out, we cut to a view of her getting back into the car, blood on her face, and she has a dead stare. After a few minutes, We close in on her face Before Fading back to the Fight. We watch her take a step forward after the first shot shooting again, then again, she fires at least Five times before she stops. "Fuck!" She shouts, "Fuck you!" She takes a breath. The other Vultures step back, hesitating.
