perhaps you will be worthy [gaby]

[wyrmpit]


(gaby)
Slowly and quietly she walks down the hall...darkness twisted darkness She had been in the lab for days, weeks, months Taryn was ...gone (Wonder if her leg was still around)
Learning...each day more and more twisted and dark...
Life changing daily...pulling her towards her destiny...im one step closer to the edge and im about to break
And sor some ironic strange reason there is a smile on her face
[i wont let you down]
She had been out of the eyes of
Vos
Christian
everyone but those in the lab... She had been in the lab
where she should be learning....


(asher)
silence
reigned
the tunnels had been so quiet until last night

the (perfect) Philodox
the (savage) Ahroun
the (rotting) Ragabash
the (cracked) Galliard
nowhere to be found

until. last. night.

the screams still beg their release from the cage of his throat (jailed behind perfect teeth) mismatched eyes still hazed from pain (pleasure) numbly watch the seething pulse of music that throbs (verbase tapestry) from the twin (monstrous) speakers
how many hours has it been the Galliard curled sideways upon the couch

blood drips (clings) the slowest cadence from outstretched arm
the (silver) wounds silently weeping

(gaby)
the smell of blood his blood...the smell of the blood permeating her nose..
what... Confusion...as she approaches the room..
darkness booming of the music..the speakers thumping out the sounds...
you wanna scream
She stops in the doorway...suilouette in the frame, only taking up half the space, the once pool shark street rat stand there..
quiet..
She had been learning...but she hadnt seen them
Now was the time....
Words slip from her lips...quietly but with enough volume to be heard mixed with the sounds coming from the speakers.
"Asher?"
One word...

(asher)
the burn (trebel's clarity) of the wounds still slinks maddeningly (pulsing bass) on his skin (the metis marked with silver) dancing (frenzied) in mismatched eyes that slowly (achingly) swim towards the shadow in the (darkness) doorway

"Well hello Gaby....."

silk whispering in the dead of night (passion's sheets or the scarf that steals breath's regulation) from the form climbing to sit
blood drenches his jeans
covers his chest and arms
had pooled on the couch

"I haven't seen... you... for awhile."

sluggish the words that reach for her (phantom touches) but they do not blame
he is the one that has been gone

(gaby)
She stands ther for a moment...in the doorway...
the smell of blood
a while...it had been a while..(days weeks months)
Silence

...."It has been a while" (id ask how you are, but that is apparent)
Eyes moving to the blood covered clothing, the couch then back to the man sitting....
"I have been here..."
where have you been?
So many questions...and i thought i had so many more answers
What world has she wandered into...what was going on?
Nothing asked...all in good time
Taryn had let him them down or was she taken out of the picture..
did it matter, she didnt cut it
But she would... This was her destiny...

Now walking from the doorway towards the couch, eyes focusing on the man.....

"Is everyting ok?"
a stupid question? there are no stupid questions except the ones not asked


(asher)
his movements are past the pain
[never. show. weakness.]
the wounds (absolution) that reopen to seep new rivers (condemnation) across barren landscape of dried mud (cracked blood) the hiss self-evident in the words (infectious creatures climbing from beneath the ground to partake the live-blood waters) that make their way past his lips

falling into the glyph (spiral's heart stigmata) carved into his chest

"Everything is" per.fect "..fine"

save the Gaians that hunt (entrance) him
save the Silver Fang (blessed damnation) caught in corruption's tango
save the massive blood loss (gifts) he fights to regenerate
save the Theurge (Judas) who abandoned them

but in the burgeoning well of dragon's white haze (there is divinity in agony) it does. not. matter.

(gaby)
"Good"
enough said on that.
She moves to another couch where she could sit and see him still..
show no weakness her hazel eyes move back to Asher..
what dont i know about...when i go back out there what do i look out for
Questions left unanswered...
Taryn? She failed?
Where is she...what chaos has gone on while i was learning
disorder and chaos,
this doesnt seem like the world i was told about but i am a fighter...
Malcolm knew it...christian knew it..YOU knew it
She chooses her words carefully...

"There are things i need to know"

(asher)
the gaze drops (how many times has. he. fallen.) to the blood pooling on half-slouched belly (caught by arms far darker than Lucifer's own passioned embrace) fingers lifting to trace

"You know you've but to ask me anything......"

blood smears on tanned skin, caught in the mountains and valleys of toned muscle
how appropriate the Galliard muses
that the glyph ends just above the (now ancient? how many lifetimes ago it seems) scars on his belly
from the ravages of Hell climb the victors
from the Child of Gaia's pain grows the Black Spiral Dancer

(gaby)
Eyes to the glyph then back at him...
The once gnawer pool shark, ragabash....who had asked always questioned...
questions are what got you here
driven now by the lies she once chirished?
Those eyes locking on his *split second* before moving to the glyph...
"Where have you been?"
"What happened to Taryn?" where is her leg
"Who is the enemy...i know something is wrong out there"
eyes snap to the wall, as if she was pointing out to the real world.
"How can I help"
a smile begins to cross her lips...as her tonge slips out to moisten them. the grin spreading across her face
i get it There it was lightbulb
Finally feeling it
[my life]
She asked the questions briefly, each one to the point...
why bother with useless rambling

(asher)
"I have been all over the state."

mourning, wanting, fighting, hunting
(anything to keep myself from thinking of how... why... he was gone)

"Taryn became Judas and chose failure's path."

angry, betrayed, humiliated, bleeding
(not. worthy.)

"And the enemy?" the pause fog's rolling laughter "It is as it always has been. But for now it has focused, condensed, gathered into the most convenient of packages."

those eyes (unnerving) look to the questions in hers
words sweetest (tained) candy

"And you can help. Because you know him."

(gaby)
Eyes lock
and she knew How the ...fuck
Two separate worlds...two worlds collide
Past present future
She had understood him...they had an understanding...

Mind filled with thoughts whirling around...tornado
holy shit
*flash*
The goodbye...she was heading down her path...he out on a vision...
agreed to disagree The lightbulb then that
[flashed] in her head...when he told her of Asher being the one to cut him in the woods...'your precious family' he had called them...
And she had gotton it It was her precious family..and Asher had cut him while rescuing Malcolm.
who later also failed...and needed to be eliminated Rescuing his pack She didnt walk away she let Decker leave, and she headed to Asher where she danced the very same night....
The world has come full circle...chaos pain..blood all for the enemy
And the enemy was...Decker

She didnt need to hear it, she knew it from his words...

["And you can help. Because you know him."]

(asher)
the Galliard watches in (deadly) silence, as if the tornado of her mind played on a screen only he could see (how delightfully they dance in the winds that tear them to pieces) gaze drops to the fingers that slide slick against each other before him

his blood
she died thinking she was loved
vestiges the (arch)angel's wrathful (loving) touch
I would rather you lived knowing
the touch of pack. of family. of the many bodies for a singular (darkened) mind
(Father bless me these sins)

and finally
the words slide (beg) past his lips in smooth (barbed) murmur

"Does that bother you, Kyrsha'wai'gas?"

.your. family

(gaby)
And the wods almost childlike from her lips
"fuck no"
*silence*
"what would bother me is if I didnt get to be a part of finding him...and destroying his fucking pathetic world"
Spoken like Gaby, the street rat, not wordy or well educated...street rat
*silence*

"I knew his way was bullshit...they didnt have a clue...she always knew that..deep inside dark fate
She knew their way was wrong, bullshit crap...
She always knew it..now again it had been proven.
"Im going out there"
She looks back at him...
Relaxing...
"I wont fuck this one up"
{i wont fail you]


(asher)
there is silence as he listens
there is approval in the (sadistic) smile
.... perhaps you will be worthy

slowly (searing through agony's ecstacy) he sits up
drawing closer on the hiss of breath

"I have a plan for him, Kyrsha'wai'gas..... for it he must be alive. Do you understand?"

gravity embraces the soft words
[if you fail, you will join him]

"Perhaps you and Salome will be able to come to an agreement on a course of action. She's resourceful, and I'm sure you will prove to be."

[pause.... sorta]
