Broken and Remade

After Gracie heard the motorcycle leave a thought struck her head. "I need him, whoever he is." She quickly shimmied down the ladder and quickly found him at a cafe.

The girl walked over to him seating down next to him. "I need help, your right, I am helpless and homeless, it's all just an act. Could do me favor though? I left something in the outskirts of the city. Ya' know that wooded area?"

@fluffy
@jupiter_hollow I'm here Mkay XD

Name: Meilin.
Gender: Girl
Appx. Age: 17
Appearance: Standing at an average height of 5"8, Meilin is built lean and agile. Her tanned skin barely shows beneath her dark, loose clothing. Her dark eyes, hollow and soulless, tend to glare. They could have been pretty once. But now they're just black buttons on an empty shell. Her eyes don't seem to catch the light at all. They've lost their sparkle. Her face is surrounded by her long, straight dark hair that hits around her lower back.
Personality: Meilin is an aggro, strange, crazy, angry weirdo. She's hostile and doesn't want people around her. She tries to ward them off. She's smart, tactical and alert, yet she won't open up to anyone.
Special Skill: She's extremely fast, agile and tactical. She was obviously trained in fighting, as her skill is exceptional.
Background: She won't tell. It was bad. It was a mistake. She didn't mean to.. She didn't plan it. Now she won't allow herself to get close to anyone again.
Other: She's crazy. No way around it. She's just a lunatic.

With a coffee cup in hand and a neat small sandwich tucked in his palms, the boy had prepared to eat, when Gracie plopped down on the seat next to him, nearly making him choke on the hot caffeine drink. Refraining from spitting out the substance, he kept his calm, listening to her speech. He did so with a surprisingly emotionless expression, yet again straying from any emotion display.

At her last question, he meekly nodded his head, putting the coffee cup down and leaning back in his chair, angling his head to partially face Gracie. It was a sign that he was listening closely and awaited further instructions.

seaangel • 1 November 2012 at 7:50 PM

@jupiter_hollow

Gracie smiled a bit, "Well the sooner we go the better. I have something that I love, and I don't think I could live without." She wasn't lying, the girl was telling the truth. "Please."

jupiter_hollow • 1 November 2012 at 8:04 PM

@seaangel

For the first time since she'd gotten here, the boy looked at Gracie, truly facing her. Her eyes betrayed countless emotions, that he found himself viewing as if through clear glass. She wa still the hopeless girl he'd seen from earlier, but something had changed. It took him a while to see it - ...a smile.

And strange enough, he was nearly tempted to mirror it with his own, but refrained, only nodding curtly. Having drowned down his entire coffe and one of the sandwiches, he wasn't hungry anymore. Emotionlessly, he looked at gracie and then the plate, giving it a slight push in her direction.

"Take it and eat along the way. Paid food tastes better." his motone voice contrasted to the joking neature of his statement. without further ado, he dropped a five dollar bill in his coffee cup and stood up, walking towards the exit.

seaangel • 1 November 2012 at 8:14 PM

@jupiter_hollow

She was tempted to murmur something, but held back. Gracie quickly scarfed down the food and walked behind him.

"I never got your name, I'm Gracie."

jupiter_hollow • 1 November 2012 at 8:18 PM

@seaangel

Walking outside at a rapid pace, the boy mounted his bike quickly, but paused halfway through starting the engine.

Gracie.

He leaned on the handles again, giving out a blink of curiosity, eyes thankfully shielded out of the girl's view by his hair. The name suited her, he had to admit, but thought nothing more of it and chose to ignore her question, pretending to have not heard her calling for his name.

"Get on and hold onto me. Falling off is painful." he instructed flatly, starting the engine and flashing her an expectant look.

seaangel • 1 November 2012 at 8:24 PM

@jupiter_hollow

Gracie got on behind him holding on to him with a death grip. She liked the bike better then a car, but in other ways she felt like it was a death trap.

"Remember by the wood area on outskirts of town, okay?" She repeated not wanting to get lost. "I know exactly where we're headed."

jupiter_hollow • 1 November 2012 at 8:29 PM

@seaangel

Bothering only to give a slight nod, enough to signall he'd understood, the boy headed off, speeding across town with light speed. Usually, his driving pattern included near crashes and neglecting road rules (he adored adrenaline) but now he complied enough to stop at a few red lights and generally strayed from busy streets.

Soon, they'd reached the ouskirts of the city and the vehicle now swayed along a rocky path down hill towards a thickly grown area of trees and bushes.

seaangel • 1 November 2012 at 8:31 PM

@jupiter_hollow

Gracie, quickly catching a glimpse of her bow and arrows, she smiled. "Stop when the road levels out, in about a half mile." The girl wanted to jump off the bike and grab the weapon.

jupiter_hollow • 1 November 2012 at 8:41 PM

@seaangel

Nodding, the boy continued forward, proceeding until the bike slowly stopped tipping forward and then did as he was instructed, coming to a halt adruptly.

seaangel • 1 November 2012 at 8:48 PM

@jupiter_hollow

Gracie jumped off and ran back up to where she saw the arrow. She aimed for what seemed to the guy's head. Letting go of the arrow it a tree behind him.

"Find me helpless now?" The asked as she put the arrow down and quickly braided her hair, securing it with the hair tie.

jupiter_hollow • 1 November 2012 at 9:04 PM

@seaangel

Slightly flinching at the cold ush of wind that came with the arrow passing his head, the boy frowned inwardly at Gracie, raising an eyebrow to show his unamusement. He had to agree (reluctantly) to being wrong - she wasn't helpless, but neither was she safe either. One thing he knew was that there were many weapons better than arrows.

Leaning on the handles again, he sighed.
"Bullets are faster than arrows." he stated flatly, not as an insult, but as a simple reminder, and motioned for the girl to get back on.

seaangel • 1 November 2012 at 9:18 PM

@jupiter_hollow

"Arrows are silent and with the right hit they kill on impact." Gracie said with the same flatness. "Besides, if a gun brakes you have to buy a new part, if an arrow or bow brakes it a simple fix and you make it, meaning it's a custom fit."

A deer looked at her, paying no attention and ate on grass. "Also I'm not getting back on the bike, like I said I can take care of myself." Gracie then swiftly climbed a up tree arrows and bow slung on her arm.

jupiter_hollow • 1 November 2012 at 9:31 PM

@seaangel

Not bothering to reply to her explanations, the boy leaned back into the saddle of his motorbike, rising an eyebrow at her, as Gracie flung herself on the tree. She was keen on staying. Of course, he had to smile to himself slightly. Stubborn as she was, the silly girl wanted to stay, last in the forest... This time, for whatever reasons, he voiced his opinion.

"You lied again. You used me to get your arrows and now you think you're good to go. And next time they come and you fail to outdo their rifles with your bow, you'll be searching for another hero with enough heart to get in trouble for you, buy you lunch and then leave you alive." his voice was calm and dull, like usual, yet held an undoubtably strained tone to it. He wondered why he felt betrayed, despite having known what would come of helping. He smiled emotionlessly, starting up his engine and heading up the hill.

seaangel • 1 November 2012 at 9:37 PM

@jupiter_hollow Gotta go.

Gracie, having betrayed so many other people in her life time smiled at this. It wasn't friendly, but it wasn't mean. Aiming her arrow at the back tire of the motorbike she shot, just barely missing it. Taking another shot she hit it, well barely, but it would still cause a bad hole.

jupiter_hollow • 1 November 2012 at 9:57 PM

@seaangel Bye ^^

Keen on calming his nerves, the boy didn't notice the arrow in his motorbike's wheel, until the vehicle started tipping left, looming to fall threateningly. He tumbled down to the ground, motorbike with him and slid down the hill heavily, barely managing to keep the heavy vehicle from crushing him.

At the girl, he frowned, wincing at the same time from the hit his shoulder had received. Slowly, hence the pain, he rose, swaying slightly, but kept his balance and glanced at Gracie. First she'd declined his help, then had searched for it, declining it again afterwards and now, she'd stopped him from leaving. He couldn't figure out what she wanted, but stood closer, panting, and rose an eyebrow.

"Alright, I'll stay until you want me to go again." he nodded. Despite the mocking nature of his statement, he meant what he said. For some reason, he didn't mind staying, even if it meant being shooed off again some time later.

seaangel • 2 November 2012 at 6:59 AM

@jupiter_hollow

"You can stay, but I'm not helping you here." Gracie said plainly as she climb down the tree and seemed to disappear in the shrubs and other green things.

ninjagirl • 2 November 2012 at 7:42 AM

@jupiter_hollow DUDE WHEN IS @FLUFFY GETTING ONLINE ;-; IM ITCHING TO START LIKE ITCHY ITCHY ;~;

jupiter_hollow • 2 November 2012 at 6:34 PM

@ninjagirl Let us ping her together 😋 @fluffy @fluffy @fluffy

@seaangel

Exasperated to his final extent, the boy rose, clutching the bike by it's handles tightly and flung it down the hill, roaring in the process. He faced Gracie, face blank but eyes betraying anger.

"/What/ do you want from me?" he questioned, making it visible how he tried holding his fury inside, tried keeping a straight face and a cool mind. Accentuating the word 'what', he had asked for her to make her mind: whether she wanted him to stay or to leave. In Eytan's case, playing was nice, unless someone was abuing what little kindness he'd decided to show.

seaangel • 2 November 2012 at 6:44 PM

@jupiter_hollow

Gracie stopped dead in her tracks. Though she wasn't visible to Eytan, yet you could almost hear her stop if you listened closely. Something tugged at her heart. -Keep going Gracie, he's just a human. They've done nothing good to you, why should you care?- The girl thought trying fight off tears, yet let one escape.

jupiter_hollow • 2 November 2012 at 7:06 PM

@seaangel

Taking a step foward, still not seeing if Gracie was there or listening, the boy eyed the forest blankly, searching for her form amongst the leaves but failing to find her. He still panted from the crash, pain (albeit nearly non existent) stinging his shoulder. His motorbike lay nearby, completely battered, yet he didn't seem to care.

"Are you even listening?" the voice, seemingly dull as usual, rung around the forest, but now, accompanied by another slightly tuned feeling - tiredness. He sounded more emotionless than ever, voice louder than a whisper but far from reaching normal human speech level. He doubted she could hear him. So he raised his voice. "Do you want me to leave? Do you want me to stay?" he yelled out to the trees. "Can you see me? I'm here, standing like some moron and I'm asking you to answer me. Asking you, NOT forcing you..." he quieted down, walking off to righten his bike and brushed some of the scratches off. He hadn't gotten a reply so far, but still kept a strict eye on the forest with the corner of his vision (he didn't know why he did that).
"'re you even there?" he questioned meekly.

seaangel • 2 November 2012 at 7:31 PM

@jupiter_hollow

"I...I...I don't know anymore." She said quietly, seeming to be ashamed she admitted that. "I don't know." The girl sat down on the slightly damp ground, setting the bow down.

jupiter_hollow • 2 November 2012 at 7:55 PM

@seaangel

Regaining his normal stone face and emotionless voice, the boy stepped back a bit, as if lending her more space to breathe, and leaned onto his motorbike handles, pondering in his head what to do.

It was a strange game they played - one of russian roulette. The gun was pointed at nobody, but at the same time, at both of them. Now, needless to say, life was difficult. He himself had duties to attend, jobs to take care of, his own existence to sort out. He could barely survive day to day with the small amount of money he had left. He was torn on whether to offer his help or withdraw that offer permanently. She - Gracie, on the other hand, had her foster parents to worry about. She was chased and mistreated, misunderstood. She had no one in the world to look up to and no one to trust. Her choces were two - either accept someone else in her life, not knowing whether she would find knidness and care in his eyes, or another enemy... or going on with her life of scavenging and lonesome brooding.

He let out a barely audible sigh, rightening himself and throwing her a glance.
"You have time to make up your mind." he muttered finally. "I'm not forcing you to do anything. If you need help, you know where to find me." he finished in a tired tone and mounted the battered motorbike, heading up hill slowly, hence the broken engine.

She needed time, that he was aware of...

seaangel • 2 November 2012 at 8:00 PM

@jupiter_hollow

Gracie standing up turned around and walked into view. "Wait." She uttered looking down at her feet glancing up a bit to see what her small arrow did to the bike. "I'm sorry...I just... I mean, I didn't know what to do. No one has, stopped someone for me before."
