Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 66

~Korosu~

I opened the door to the apartment slowly, glancing around.
Mary was standing in the middle of the living room.
I slammed the door behind me.
She scowled.
"Show me what you've got little girl. You don't have the guts."
"You're not real Mary."
"You're scared aren't you little girl? You pathetic child. Come on, give me all you've got."

I threw the dagger.

It did nothing.

"Guess your aim isn't what it used to be."

I looked down at my hands.

They weren't cold.

"Come on, I'm dying of old age over here."

"Not if I have a say in it."

I got my dagger back.
It was the only chance I had.

She fought back.

I gasped, looking down at my stomach.
Blood dripped onto the floor.

I turned around to see Ashton.

"Now you know how I felt."

"I'm sorry Ashton!" I yelled, sitting up quickly.
Sasha looked up at me. "Korosu, you okay?"
I held my head in my hands.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so goddamn sorry."
"Korosu, it was just a dream, you're okay. It's fine." She put her arm around me. I looked at the doorway to see Mary standing there.
"Hey Korosu, are you okay?" She spat, holding a knife.
I screamed again, backing up. Once I looked back at the door, it was surge.
"Korosu, calm down. It's me."
I nodded, relaxing slightly.
"I'll leave you guys be to do Doctor things I guess. I'll see you later Korosu, I promise." She hugged me.
I wrapped my arms around her. "Thanks for staying. See ya later."
I watched her walk out the door with a smile on her face.

~Surge's POV~
She finally stood up today.

I of course had my arm around her, helping her off of the table.
She had been kind of standing up before with the wires, but she managed to support herself on her legs.

She smiled a bit, then fell.

I caught her before she hit the ground.

Guess you can't stand on a shattered bone. I felt so stupid.

She gripped the table, breathing heavily.
"Korosu, it's alright, let's get you back on there." I helped her back on, hearing a knock at the door.

Aside from ash coming over to say hello this morning after Sasha left, nobody had come to see her.

I walked over, keeping a needle with me. "Who the hell is this?"

"Open the damn door before I bust it open."

I knew that voice anywhere.

I opened the door slowly, relaxing a bit.

His scars over his eye seemed irritated, hair off to the side. He had a hand in his pocket, the aroma of smoke still stuck to him like always.

"Where is she?"

"Back room. Be careful alright? She's still a bit-"
"Well what else did you expect mister smartass? She did try to kill herself. Not like she's gonna get over it in a damn day."
I rolled my eyes, locking the door. "Shut up and go back there already. Not like you'll be helping her, smoking around her constantly."
"Oh please, she does it too. She never quit yknow. Neither will I."
