Sandstorm

Runaway _Ch.6_

I walked through the division barracks, my sword laid patiently on my back as I weaved my way through. People who walked by picked up their pace or looked another way as my dark aura and tensity broke through their easy-going bubble. I could've sworn someone wanted to challenge against it but they wouldn't dare just to avoid the icy stare I'd shoot them down with. While I was walking I was interrupted by a small squeaky voice. I flipped around and saw one of my division members standing there, his head was slightly tilted down at me though his eyes not meeting mine.

"What is it?" I snapped not in the mood for silly chit chat.

"Uh, the leader, he wants to see you," the rascal announced weakly.

"Alright, I'll go now," I scowled shoving past him making my way to the division leader's office. Barely took me any time as I plowed through anyone who stood in my way. I push into the room to see a few other standing around my leader's desk. I didn't bother to look at them, I only looked at my leader, who's eyes met mine within seconds. My leader sat on his creaky chair, a tamed wolf sitting in his lap as he petted it. The mutt panted happily being held in his master's lap, but I've seen that wolf in action. The blood that covers that monster's teeth isn't only the Unseens'.

"You needed me?" I huffed irritated crossing my arms.

"Yes... your awfully rude and cruel behavior as gotten on many division members nerves, so I've decided to send you off on a mission. Give you and your comrades a break from each other," he said cooly continuing to stroke the rough fur of his wolf.

"Alright then, that's fine by me. A chance at death and I'm in," I remarked, full of this district's bullshit.

"You'll be going with a few members from a few other divisions on this mission, If I sent you off alone I don't think I'll ever be seeing you back here..." he said cooly, glaring at me. I ignored it, not effected by it.

"Yeah, so who's coming to hell and back with me then?" I scoffed leaning my back up against the wall.

"Everyone here except for me," he said motioning to the others standing near his desk. I looked up at all of them, unfamiliar by the shitty lighting of the place. I shrugged and closed my eyes waiting for the command to leave.

"You'll be leading the group," I hear my leader tell one of the others before sending everyone on their way. I force myself back off the wall and follow them out of the dark cramped office. 

"Hey... Hinaka," I hear the leader of the group say making his way over to me.

"Yeah what?" I scowl, scratching my head irritated.

"It's been awhile, I know..." he starts looking down at me.

"Whatdya mean..." I started before finally looking up at the towering figure above me. My eyes narrow, charcoal black hair grown out somewhat long and the eyes I so despise staring down at me like some underling. I gritted my teeth and scowled, "You sick bastard, leave me the hell alone." I could've sworn I saw hurt in his eyes but it didn't effect me. He's the one who started this whole train wreak. Distorted me and destroyed me. That's what he did, left me in the dirt to rot.

"Hinaka. Please hear me out," Haruki pleaded putting his hand on my shoulder. I snarled and slapped his hand causing him to take a step back, not expecting my violent reaction.

"Don't touch me," I growl like a beast, no matter how much taller someone can be than me I'll always come out more threatening. No matter what I'll be the primal beast of my division, no, out of all divisions. Haruki looked down at me, pity. He felt pity for me. The damn bastard felt bad.

"What the hell are you staring at! I'm a pawn to you now so move along! Go! Lead! Don't waste your time on a dog like me!" I yell irritated as he continued to stare down at me. He lets out a small huff and turns around.

"Let's go, just follow my lead." He says briskly before beginning to run along. We ran till we encountered a large fence. We stood in front of the gate, Haruki took out a small key card and put it under the scanner, the fence made a click noise and opened. We walked through and the gate swung closed behind us. Back in the real world again, not in division barracks... freedom?

Freedom from this giant military ground against the Unseen. The real world again. The world where everyone lives normal lives. In their crazy government systems without a clue there's people out there saving them from soul thirsty monsters.
Freedom...

You're right... I look at the vast rural area, a small bar sat and a few houses.

"Come on, we need to get to town." Haruki said calmly to the group before sprinting off again. I frowned and followed behind. My stamina wasn't bad but running wasn't one of my favorite things. I scanned around the place and saw a motorcycle, a smirk came across my face as I steered away from the group and ran towards it. Haruki turned his head and saw me running from the group, his eyes following to where my destination was, his eyes widening.

"HINAKA!" He yelled shifting his weight and began sprinting toward me. I hopped onto the nearest motorcycle and kicked over all the others, the rest falling over like dominos. The motorcycles toppling over was so loud I could hear people shuffling in the bar and yelling gibberish. I started up the motorcycle and looked over my shoulder, Haruki running out to me desperately his eyes burning with an emotion I couldn't read. Anger? Fear? Pain? Pity? People started flooding out of the bar, I turned and sped off. Not wasting another second to look back at the mob of people screaming and shouting at me. I wouldn't dare look back at the filthy noble, his voice that continuously cried out for me got lost in the yelling of the drunk mob and the motor of the motorcycle as I sped away. I never want to go back. I want to roam free, break these chains that have been set upon me in the repetition of this awful life.

First stop, downtown. In a nice cozy bar...
