Among Them All

Chapter 8 Black Out

After leaving Cyan with Red she seemed a little different when everyone met up. Yes she was protecting the mini's and keeping them away from the dramatic heat; but there was something different going on with her. Something had happened between them, I'm certain of it.

Cyan had taken off after Red and she doesn't normally want to go help people. She is type one to run away. What happened while I was gone?

"Red wait!" Cyan yelled after Red as soon as he reached the Cafeteria from the Weapons room. He didn't want to be bothered; he didn't want to hurt anyone more than he already did. He just wanted to be left alone. Let him sit in his own sorrow and self-pity.

"Get lost, pipsqueak," he said as he kept walking away.

"Just stop for a moment! Stop running away from your problems!" She hollered back. Her voice nervously cracked for what she was about to do and speak. Her legs were shaking, teeth slightly chattering. This was something new for her.

"Get out of here!" Red yelled threateningly making Cyan stop in her tracks stunned.

"N-no actually, I will not!" She said while closing her eyes. She didn't want to look him in the face but winced. His face was twitching, he was beyond irritated.

"I swear to god, if I turn around and you are still there, you won't be for very much longer."

Cyan's head tilted; her face neutral. Like someone had switched off a light. Her mood changed just like that.

"Is that a threat?" Her tone was more serious than ever. It was like she was a completely different person. Red turned around hearing the change in her tone, he looked confused.

"Oh, so you do have brains. I'll do you the same way I did Green and Pink." He said in a low menacing voice. He could play that game too.

"Just stop! Can't you hear yourself? Even if you are not the killer, you are sounding like one. Big time right now, and I do not believe that it's you."

Red smirked at her comment as if he took it personally. He enjoyed being called something with such power. It was nerve racking to say at least.

"And who says I'm not? Maybe I am, I could easily walk over, pick you up and toss your tiny ass out that window," he said in motion as he inched his way over, face to face.

"How would you like that runt?" He bent down to her level; she was still shaking but tried to convince herself otherwise.

"Y-you don't scare me," She stuttered. His smirk grew bigger at the sight of her,

"Then look me in the eyes when I talk to you and maybe next time don't run after me." He stood back up and walked away once more with such confidence. He thought she would just give up. That she was still the scared little girl he saw from the beginning. She looked down thinking about walking away but knew it would do nothing but bring her back to what she once was. A nobody, a trainwreck.

"I am tired of being told what I am and what to do." She said, catching Red off guard. He stood still, shocked that she continued. Believed she would just go away and cry in the corner like normal.

"I am tired of being made fun of, of being a coward, but this time you are the coward!" She no longer had a soft tone, but now she fully used her whole voice to shout out and call him what he really was. What he deserved. Red stood there unable to process the words. He was more than confused. Was she breaking from her shell? Were the words I have been telling her finally break through to her head or did something happen between them when I went after Green?

"Excuse me?" He turned once more back to Cyan, still keeping his distance. "What gives you the right to say that? I walked out..." He paused, biting his tongue,
