Temperament

Chapter 13

"Hello?" The Boy's head pops into an empty room. "Heeeeeellllllllloooooooo?" He calls again, into the room, slowly, tip-toeing inside. A bare bed lays before him, a girl, with pale features wearing only a hospital gown, surrounded by the deep, depths of darkness. "Hmmmmmm..." He hmms, tapping a finger on his chin as he surveys the room, his voice echoing, bouncing on the seemingly empty walls.

He cocks his head, smiles at the woman, then he walks over to give the girl, a 'pleasant' surprise. But as he moves closer to her, the floor rumbles, and he doves onto the floor. As the earth crumbles beneath his feet, he scoochs into a corner, as blood drips, gently, from the walls. "HEEEEEELLLLLPPPP!" He yells, bolting out in the hallway, only to find that he's alone. Completely. And. Utterly. Alone. He pants as he runs back and forth, through the halls, looking for a way out. He steps to a stop, falling onto the floor, sweat dripping from his blackened face. "GET ME OUT OF THIS HELL!" The Boy yells, his nails digging into his palms. Then a rumbling sound fills the hallways... Then the hallway goes black and shifts left.

A screeching sounds fills his ears... Bloods splatters across the wallls. "Heeeeeeeelp meeee..." The Boy whispers, "heeellpppp..." He says as his cracked lips slow, and his voice slows to an indistinct whisper, he crawls to a door with blinding light, he drags his bloody, ripped body to the door, and a hissing sounds fills his limited-hearing ears. "Come to meee!" An ethereal voice calls to him. "Coming!" He says, happily, his body feeling rejuvenated, but . He gets up, and walks blinding to the door, pre-maturely walking into the face of death...

"Wake up... waaaaakkkeeeee up!" A voice calls. "Mmmmm..." she mutters absently. "Wakeeee upppp!" The voice calls again, this time, louder. "Give me... five... mmmm.. more minuteeesss." She repiles, sleepily. "WAKE UP EXOTICA!" Someone shouts. She wakes up, and scrambles off the bed, and raisies her fists in a fighting stance, ready to rip through flesh. A woman, with brown hair, green eyes, and chocolate, caramel skin, her braided hair, tied with a yellow shoelace in a burgundy hoodie, bloodied knuckles and her arms crossed, in front of Exotica. The woman smirks, "Calm down there, rookie." She says, chuckling, "We don't need you getting injured on the first day." She says, cupping Exotica's chin. The woman walks to the door, as she grazes the wooden door. She turns back at the stunned Exotica, and says, ,"Oh, I forgot! You might wanna get dressed," she says, her eyes sliding up and down Exo's bare body, and she continues, "Cause we have a loooong day ahead of us." She smiles at Exo, then winks, then she leaves, shutting the door.

Exo's jaw drops. She quickly gets dressed in the surprising pink v-neck and brown slacks, considering she only wears black to blend in and to hide blood, it was a change, not a good one, but a change nonetheless. She surveys the brown wooden room, a bed and a nightstand, with a wooden closet in the conrner, she signs and then heightens her vision amd scans the room for any makeshift weapons. She spots a crow-bar and quickly pockets it. She walks out and the streaming daylight blinds her. "Hey Exotica!" A familiar voice calls out.

"Oh shit." She curses under her breath. Jax runs to her, waving, wearing a similar v-neck, brown, and gray slack, and as she scans his outfit, she thinks to herself, his shirt heightening his evenly toned muscles, his wet hair pasted on his brown forehead... Mmmmm, She thinks dazily. Wait what! She thinks as she realises what she just thought. "A-hem?" He says, smiling. She snarls and pushs past him, and pushing him, far, far, out of her head.
