Fall Of The Solar Empire

The Wolf and The Lamb

The sound of scampering feet came from some abandoned home, long overtaken by guards who'd most likely killed the residents. The thought made Sophie grit her teeth. Those guards killed her parents, and she refused to let them get their way whenever she could. A grin soon spread across her face, curfew her ass. If some guy wants to keep a girl from falling on her ass he should be able to. Sophie peeked outside of the boarded up windows. All the gaps said they did it in a hurry. Guess the guards went for those three. She was sure they got away, besides she couldn't help with her lack of wings. Now then. Her eyes shifted over to her elbow which decided it was going to continue bleeding everywhere, it didn't take her long to find a cloth or something to wrap it with. Strawberry blonde hair, and hazel eyes peeked outside for another moment, for one more quick glance. And, she found some shoes. The grin on her face hot wider. Now then, what other fun could she get into tonight?

"Hey man you see that?" Voices and muttering came from the inside of yet another worn down building. From the smell, alcohol use was at a high. Bottles of hard cider littered the floor, along with other smashed items and a passed out prostitute on the couch. Four Wonderboltz sat around, drinking and laughing obnoxiously. The largest, and obviously the leader, stood up. Blitz, wasn’t a joke either. Tall, built and mods that were top quality and put most other to shame. His shoulders were broad and arms thick from working out, and the mass amount of training each Wonderbolt goes through. A smug grin was etched into his face, only adding to his chiseled and scruffy chin. Blonde hair a mess from the- fun he was having not long ago with the girl now passed out on the filthy couch. Glancing at her before walking over and looking out the window. Moving the curtains with his fingers in a yanking motion. "Probably another cunt lookin' to score some bits." He walked over to the door and jerked it open, looking around outside
Sophie jumped slightly, her pigtails jerking to the side as she looked behind her. Her nose wrinkled from a burning sensation that the smell gave. Alcohol. She ducked into an ally on the side of the building that she now heard the voices of other men. Seriously, of all times? Wait... Maybe this could be her fun? She smirked at the thought. She peeked over slightly to get a good look at this guy. Oh my, he was built. No way she's messing with him- Maybe a skinny ass guard but not this joker. She might as well sign her own death wish. She swallowed at the thought of this guy just snapping her in half. She was really tiny, her body was built for sneaking around and gathering, not full blown fighting. Sophie stared into this guys cold eyes, and for a moment- She'd sworn she'd seen this man before.
Even in his drunken haze, Blitz noticed Sophie. Another guard had followed him. "Well well well, what do we have here?" Blitz passed off his bottle to his partner and walked over to Sophie. For being drunk, he had decent coordination, that probably came from his fighting skills. He reached out and grabbed Sophie's wrist and pushed her against the alleys grimey brick wall, which was covered in posters and graffiti.
Dammit, this is when being mute is just about the worst thing you could think of- She couldn't scream, or yell at this man to put her down. She'd been too scared to even move at first, now she's pinned to this damn wall, because she's a moron. Her face tensed up, she even winced when her head hit the wall. She stared straight into this guys hazy blue drunken eyes, fear not written anywhere on her. His breath was horrible and she wanted to throw up. Her eyes shifted over to the other man, who she didn't much care for. He was most likely worse off on the alcohol situation then this guy. Sophie's hazel eyes returned to the cold eyed man, she merely stared him down best she could.
"Hhmm, you look familiar" Blitz drunkenly pondered. "Your eyes are familiar..." He then leaned in and sloppily kissed her, stubble rubbing against her face and the foul smell of alcohol filling the air. He then pulled away and smirked. Sophie's eyes were wide from the kiss, she automatically spit onto the ground. To make the taste out get out of her mouth, she wanted to gag. "You taste familiar too" his face then twisted into a wicked grin. "I just cant place it. I guess I’ll have to explore more." He then grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the alley, then shoved her through the door, his buddy shutting the door behind them. Her body hit the hard ground, she winced with pain. Curling into a ball for a moment, she rubbed her wrist while looking up. Her heart was racing. Sophie’s body shuttered, now frightened and scared. Possible outcomes swirling through her mind.
No- please not like this. Her eyes were starting to fill with tears. She wanted to scream, she wanted to scream till the air in her lungs were no more. She ran over to a window, hitting it as hard as she could- no use, she couldn't break a window if she tried. Tears finally made it to her cheeks.Blitz and the other guard moved over to her, basically cornering her. She looked at this man helplessly and shook her head no, mouthing the words please, no.
"Aww whats the matter?" Blitz asked, voice dripping with false sympathy. He leaned against the wall and knocked hard on the window. "Ooh don’t worry, the windows are very sturdy you don’t have to worry about that. I made sure nothing could get in..." He looked over Sophie's frail body "or out."
At long last, fear drenched Sophie's eyes. Why'd she stop to look? Couldn't she have run the hell away like normal people? His words felt more like a knife, and he just kept twisting it around. Her hand went over her mouth and she backed up in disbelief- This couldn't be happening. These two were cornering her, she was like a rat or some sort of insect. She was even dirty and small like one. Hatred soon kicked in, her tear stained cheeks got red as she'd growl at him with no sounds. Her body now pressed to the wall as if she'd phase threw it to get away from them. She suddenly had an idea- she just needed to wait for the right moment. And as usual, her eyes never left the company of the cold mans eyes, as if it'd spark her memory.
Blitz grabbed Sophie's waist and pulled her close. "Aww poor girl you are all dirty. Let me get these off." Blitz chuckled, and with that he began to pull her sweatshirt up. The other guy laughed and popped another bottle and took a big gulp. Blitz had the sweatshirt about halfway up and he turned to his companion. "Why don't you go get her the other 'outfit'?"

Sophie instantly noticed her escape. Thank Celestia they were drunk. She quickly went into a full kick motion into this guys stomach, even if he wasn't as drunk that kick would knock anyone off guard. The man fall on to his ass. Sophie quickly pulled the sweatshirt down, running past him but turned quickly and pulled out a switchblade from her thigh pocket. Aiming for cold eye's forehead, only to miss. Instead hitting him straight in the stomach. She didn't wait for the aftermath, that door opened before the guy could howl in pain. Sophie didn't give the other drunks time to have enough reaction to grab her. She bolted out the door and on to the street. She wanted to scream out of joy, but first, she wanted the hell out of there. She didn't even take a second to look behind her.
Blitz fell over, and as drops of blood hit the floor, a small blurred memory floated to his mind, of a girl...a boy... And blood.
