Build our Story - Roleplay - Chapter 4 New beginnings

[Boethiah]

"And you make it seem like he had a choice." She didn't know why she wasn't just giving up on him like Vim. Maybe because he taught her. Maybe because of the bow and the canister. "He was stuck as a slave for Alvin for a week. You saw him there with your own two eyes. He was distant. He was alone there. And we don't even know what Alvin did to him." She sighed and looked at the grass beneath her. "He might be an assassin. He may have stalked you. He may have tried twisting your mind, but there has to be part of him that's still the same. He's still him, Vim. It's just hidden away somewhere."

[Skips]

Skips couldn't take her still wide eyes off Metal as he walked away and began to scale the wall and then the cliff face. It was only when he reached the top and looked back at her that she realised he was going to disappear again. She turned round with a start and almost unconsciously began to limp towards the cliff where Metal stood, as Park hurried over to help. "Wait!" She called, desperately.

[Vim]

He sighed. "That totem.... I guess you burned it?"

[oldrockgod]

Metal turned to Skips she heard her call him and decided to face whatever abuse she would give him head on and not back down, he jumped back down hoping from ledge to ledge until he was face to face with Skips, he notices her leg and created a splint from a nearby tree by stripping it's bark and rapped it round her leg.

[Tempest]

Staring at Berk from faraway, Allyssa stroked Tempest absentmindedly with her good hand. "It hurts, you know."

[Boethiah]

"No," she smiled lightly. Even if the marriage was hard to think about, she wanted to get used to it. "I left it on the beach...I might pick it up later." Her hand found it's way to his and she griped it lightly. "It's going to be hard...but I think it might get better." There was no problem in wishing for a better future, right?

[Vim]

He froze when she touched his hand. No. No, he wasn't going to blush. Okay--he was blushing. But he wasn't going to... Oh no. He was starting to smile. 'Gods help me' he thought as be broke into a grin and gripped her hand back.

Thorntail and Zirth looked at them funny.

[Tempest]

Allyssa's injured arm started hurting again. Even though she had been to the healers several times, it didn't seem to get any better. She wondered if it would ever heal.

[Skips]

She became dazed again when he actually listened to her, and returned, leaping down the cliff until he was face to face with her again. She still couldn't think of what to say, and just stood on her leg in a strange way. Metal seemed to notice this and went to a tree, creating a splint. He returned to wrap it around her leg. She gasped when she realised what he was doing. He got up again. "I- uhm. Hello. And uh. Thanks." She said, gesturing awkwardly to the splint now fixed to her leg, not sure how to begin. "...I- You're not gonna leave again, are you? I- we all-" She sighed. Time for the dramatic speech, she guessed.
"I, I mean we, we worried about you. For a long time... When you were missing and I thought you were dead, I just- I couldn't! I mean!" She huffed again. Maybe she wasn't so good at the dramatic stuff. Out of the blue, she punched him in the chest, emotions suddenly overwhelming her. "What were you thinking?!" She yelled, refusing to believe that her eyes were becoming watery. "We saved you and then you just- went away and-! And now you're an assassin?! Just- just tell me one thing!" She looked up, a tear slipping from her eye as she seemed to break. "Why?" She choked, more tears running down her face. She then buried her face in her hands, trying to hide her sobs and broken mutter of "I thought we were friends!". Skips never got upset, she didn't cry, she was tough! Or so she liked people to think.

((Sorry for the late reply, had to swap houses XD))

[Boethiah]

"Things are going to get better, right?" she asked.

[Vim]

"Huh?" He asked, still staring at their hands. How did she do that? One touch and all his worries and anger left him. He shook his head. "Yeah. I think so." He smiled.

[Boethiah]

A faint smile spread when he said it would. Part of her wanted to kiss his cheek. They were getting married, but she also felt like it'd spoil the moment a little. Maybe everything was going to get better. Metal would get better. The whole marriage deal would get better. Life for all of them would get better and the world wouldn't seem so bad.

[Vim]

He looked down. "I don't know what to do about him." Vim said. "I just..... I hate being betrayed." He rubbed his shoulders.

[oldrockgod]

Metal put his hand on her should awkwardly trying to reassure her, he could take on an entire Outcast fleet staring death in the eye and not even blink but crying girls? ... he was helpless,
"If I had stayed they would have locked me up again or worse killed me, Berk was one of the tribes that attacked us back then before this i'm sure, I've killed many people from here and thats why I can't stay as a Wanderer I've spent my entire life fighting" Metal looked at her seriously "when I first arrived after my tribe was killed I swore to myself that I would stop my mind and body were young then what I had saw and DONE had frightened me, then the outcasts got me and compared to the battles I had survived till then.." Metal fell silent ".. It is one thing to be able to fight back with word in hand but another thing completely to be utterly helpless before someone like that, I never ant to go through that again, so I peace so I won't be," Metal released Skip's shoulder and fell to his knees "what I did, what I have done, I have always carried with me, the people I have killed I carry with me if I falter even for a second Suicide will be the first thing I do, so ... you throw your emotions to the side, you become an empty husk and revert to the first animal instinct .... survival"
