Of Gangs and Loners ((Wyn/Kardama))

[kyaarisa]

Thinking: I'm poorer than I thought I was... I looked to him, "Wow. Drug dealing is good pay."

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"Oh, I didn't buy this with just drug money. I also own a large chain of bars and clubs in the city. In fact, I own the club we met in."

[kyaarisa]

I looked to him, "Really now?" I was honestly surprised. I wouldn't have ever expected it of him just looking at him.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

"Yep. Now, where were-" I began, when the door was kicked open. Kardama screamed, and a group of men rushed us. In a flurry of motion, I was hit over the head with something heavy, and my mate was grabbed. Before I passed out, I saw Kardama being injected with a syringe of something.

[kyaarisa]

My vision slowly became blurry, darkening. I tried my best to get away from the men. I clawed and kicked to no avail. Another sting in my arm didn't help me, for it sunk me into complete darkness.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

When I came to, I was lying on the floor of my apartment, completely alone. Where's Kar? I wondered, then everything came back to me. Kardama was kidnapped by a group of men. I jumped up, and raced out of the apartment, following the tug that would lead me to my mate.

[kyaarisa]

I was currently crying. I was surrounded, and it was dark. Two things I definitely didn't like. I pressed myself farther into the corner of the cold room. They laughed at me, calling me pathetic. Old memories came flooding back from my childhood. The memories were interrupted by someone picking me up and running their hands up my shirt. I squirmed and tried to get away, the tears quickening. "S-stop!"

"Stoooppp," the guys mocked and laughed.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I felt a sudden, horrible, gut-wrenching fear. It took me a second to realize that this was not my fear, but Kar's. I quickened my pace, racing through the streets of the capital. I soon found an abandoned warehouse, the headquarters of my arch-rival, a gang called Stella Mortuus. It literally means 'Death Star' in Latin. I slipped around the side, and found a window. What I saw through it shocked and angered me. Another man atop a naked Kardama. I saw tears running down his cheeks. He looked right at me, a look of pure terror in his eyes.

[kyaarisa]

Is that...? I couldn't finish my thought. A scream ripped through me as sharp teeth sunk into my side. A pair of hands stopped mine from hitting the guy.

"Now now. Wouldn't want to be paralyzed now would we?" a voice whispered in my ear.

I began to shake, cold terror in my veins. Scales started to form along my skin. The guys stared in shock at first as I grew, but they recovered and scrambled around to try to get the drug that stopped me from doing this the first time. I opened my mouth, mist pouring out and blinding everyone there. Well, everyone except me. I changed back quickly, running through the mist to the door.

I heard a gunshot first. Then, I felt the pain. I hissed.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I screamed when I saw Kar get shot. In my anger, I smashed the window, and raced into the warehouse. Grabbing a conveniently placed automatic rifle, I open fired on the group of men, killing them all. Once I was sure they were dead, I dropped the gun and ran over to my injured mate. I saw that he was bleeding profusely, a hole in his chest. I pulled out my phone, and called 911. Soon, an ambulance arrived at the warehouse.

[kyaarisa]

My breathing was ragged. Somehow, I was numb to the pain. I leaned into him slowly. When the ambulance arrived, he let the paramedics take me.

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I rode in the ambulance with Kar, not letting go of his hand for a second. When we reached the hospital, I was separated from him by the doctors, who needed to operate on him. As I sat in the waiting room, three cops came up to me.

"Sir, I'm sorry to say this, you are under arrest for the murder of James Garr, Adam Liniam, and Lionan Conan."

"Okay..."

[kyaarisa]

I awoke in the hospital alone. I found I was stitched up and had a IV in my arm. I hate hospitals. I looked to the door as a nurse walked in with pain killers. Bless her soul! I happily took the tiny pill before asking her where my mate was. She looked hesitant to tell me but finally spoke after I prodded for an answer. My eyes widened. Arrested?

[Lizzy the Fluff Master]

I sat in a jail cell, waiting for the police to come to me.

"Sir, if you would please follow me?" I followed the cop to an interrogation room, anda lawyer was sitting there. The cop handcuffed me to the chair.

"Good evening Mr. Dryskill. I just want to ask you a few questions. Now, do you deny shooting those three men?"

"No. But,"

"Can I get that in writing?"

"Fine." I wrote down my confession onto a sheet of paper, and he put it in his briefcase.

"You're trial will be held in one week. You may get one phone call." I was lead to the phone room, and called the hospital.

"I'm trying to reach Kardama Ana."

"Kar!" I yelled when he answered.

[kyaarisa]

I winced slightly, "Hey... Why did you get arrested?" I had to ask it bluntly. I honestly didn't remember what he did, but it had to be bad.
