A Thread without A Hero and Requiem

[Eragon]

Once Eragon saw how Kai put the side of the building together he was able to finish the rest himself very quickly.


-----A few hours later-------


Eragon was finally done.

"Well it was nice to help you, goodbye," Eragon said as he flew away.

[Calithin]

" No, you? A slow and overly-cautions driver, imagine my surprise. "

* I smirk and take the car keys to a Toyota Corolla from the man at the desk, I sign a few release papers and walk over to Hope handing her the keys, as I look over the car. *

" Shall we. "

[Eragon]

Eragon flew to Lady Violet.

"I helped the rebels rebuild their new fortress.....," He said quietly, "I hope you didn't mind...."

[Brady]

As I wield I the titanium, the wielder mask accidentally falls off and I scold my pupils. I can't see and I dont have any katanas on me.

Ahh, my eyes. It burns.

I quickly rub my eyes a couple times.

[Chastity]

"My.. My name is Chastity."

I shut the door behind me and step out into the hallway. I don't want Peter getting hurt or having to do something that might compromise his soul.
"My name is Chastity."

"My sin is... " I think of my life and what it has entailed. I have always tried to live a pure life. I know that there is no power apart from purity and devotion.
I realize things building up inside of myself. I see how I have slipped into a comfortable state of being. I am not the girl that I once was.

"My sin is a divided heart."

My eyes are drawn again to the blood stained forms on the floor. "You don't have to do this, you know. You don't have to kill."

[Zero 009]

"Its just hard manual labor from here on out for the rebels. Just follow this here schematic on building the base and you should be fine."

[Jade]

Jade steps toward her, and presses his index finger against her forehead. "Oh, I don't need to do I?" Jade taps into her mind, creating the illusion of them standing in the middle of a flower field.

Endless flowers. "Tell me Chastity, why? Why do you do what you do? Why do any of us live, why do we do what we do?" Jade says looking up at the blue sky.

"This world now is in a dark era. The world is dieing, others killing others for pointless reasons. So tell me Chastity, why don't I need to kill?"

Jade walks up to her putting his face inchs from hers smileing widely. "Do you want to die? Do the people I kill want to die? This world is full of questions, most of them will be unanswered, forever."

[Chastity]

I look around me and stare at the flowers that weren't there just a moment ago.

"There is always an answer. It is the same answer that answers all of life's hard questions... most people cannot see it because of unbelief however."

I bend down and pick a flower, I can feel the petals on my fingers. I can feel the weight of it, and smell its scent, but I know that it is not real.

"I do what I do... I live... because there is a need to live and do what I do.

Life is a precious gift, and not one that should be thrown off casually.

I live to serve and to bring goodness into this world with has a desperate need for it. I live to bring joy. I live to show love to those that would never have known it."

[Jade]

"Chastity, face the sad truth." The flowers dissappear as the bodies, blood-stain carpet, and every thing appears back. "I live to show people the sad truth, that every one carrys too many burdens.

That they are all uncertain, all blind. Chastity, one day I hope you see the truth of this world. We are all insane in our own way."

Jade fires a shot at Chastity. He puts his hand over the bullet hole in her shoulder. He runs his fingers along the bullet hole. Jade then runs his fingers along her cheek smearing her own blood on her cheek.

"Chastity, I think I'll let you live to see the truth." Jade says as he licks his fingers. "Althrough, you might die from that blood you're loseing. You should really get that checked."

Jade grins as he licks her cheek clearing it of the blood.

[Peter "The Owl"]

The door of Peter's compartment rips open and a blur comes rushing out. Peter catches Jade by the back of his collar and jerking him away. Shifting his weight low he flips the other man over his back and down the hallway.

Facing Jade, Peter takes a step back so he's just infront of Chastity. "Chastity, stay down." He reachs a hand back and tocuhes her shoulder. A sphere of shimmering energy surrounds the woman as Peter transfures his exo-sheild to her.

Peter's body shimmers slightly as his own Light Sheild come on. He moves forwards, walking slowly, hands at his sides. Without his jacket, the weapon straps are visible on his upperbody, though they are all empty now. He couldn't carry weapons onto a train.

Peter's glasses dance with dim lights as data scroll on the lens. "Another psyco killer on the loose. Hello Reaper."

[Chastity]

The bullet enters my shoulder and searing pain rips through me. I look down to see the blood seeping through my white shirt. I shudder as he leans near me and licks the blood off of my face. I would push him away, but my arms hang like lead weights by my sides. The hallway in the train starts to get dimmer.

"...I look past the truth... that this ... world has to ... offer. ... I reach for... a higher... truth."

I stumble backwards and lean against the door to the compartment which still contains Peter. Standing there, I am a sentinal, guarding the path to him from this one that loves death.

The lights must be going out in the hallway, because it keeps getting darker and darker.

I realize that I may die. That this wound may be the last thing that I feel on this earth. I start to pray, some words come to my mind and yet others flow out of my lips, a constant prayer forming between the two. "Our Father.... Hallowed be Thy name... Thy will be done.... As it is in Heaven..."

Pain and lack of energy cause my legs to give out, I slide down the door, leaving a trail of blood to mark my path to the floor. "Maria... Santa Maria.... Blessed be... Pray for us sinners.... "

The train disappears, this man and his gun disappear. My eyes close, darkness enfolds me, holding me in his sweet embrace. Cold. I feel cold, all other feelings have passed, and even the pain is now gone. Can all of this be from just one bullet wound? How I now wish that I had that thin blue blanket and Peter's jacket...

...Peter...

In the darkness of my mind, I think of Peter, standing in between the light and the darkness. He cannot hear me or see me, he still sits in the compartment, not knowing what now transpires.

"...I love you...Peter..." escapes my lips as my mind moves from the plain of rational thought into that of the subconscious. My heart still beats and my breath still slowly fills my lungs, but my eyes are darkened, and my mind is a closed citadel.

The door slides open. Peter emerges. But I have already fallen into my darkness. Though alive, I cannot hear the words that he speaks, or see him standing facing my foe.

[Tensuo]

Tensuo looks at the stranger with his pitch black eyes and regards what Gregory said. He spoke the truth, Tensuo knew this, from first hand experience.

[Jade]

"Peter I asumme? I suppose you could call me that, but I do kill for a purpose. A purpose most can not see. So they call me mad, crazy, insane, all that good stuff." Jade slowly stands up grining.

"Your friends blood is very good. But, it seems like she's dieing. So Peter, fight me and risk loseing her or go aid her and I escape. Choices, choices, choices. How will you ever chose?"

Jade tosses the now empty gun aside as he tilts his head. His grin widens. "The clock is ticking."

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter turns his head, looking at Chastity. She is wounded, worse than he thought. She said something a moment ago... but he couldn't make it out.

He frowns and faces Jade. "Another time then, Jade." Turning quickly Peter kneels besides Chastity, reaching into his pocket for medical supplies.

The Hunter is forced to rip away the upper right quarter of Chastity's shirt to get a clear field to work at the bullet wound. He quickly uses an alcohol wipe to clean the wound, then cleans away the blood. He applies a silvery cream from a small bottle, rubbing it into the wound. In a few moments he has the wound bandaged and bound.

He lifts her off the ground and takes her back into their compartment as the train guards race into the car, far to late to do anything to help the other people, or to stop Jade. Peter lays Chastity on the bottom bunk once more, wrapping her in both of the thin blankets and and then laying his coat over her as well.

Kneeling, he waits beside the bunk, his eyes half closed, watching her face, the only part of her body visible, the rest of her wrapped in blankets.

[Jade]

"We'll meet again." Jade says before Peter leaves with Chastity. When the guards enter the compartment, it is empty except for the dead bodys. No Jade.

"Hey, what's your sin?" Jade was in the next compartment with the doors open. He grins before jumping off the train. He lands sitting up and waves to the train as it passes.

"I'll see you later." Jade says to no one. He stands up watching the train speed father away. He finally turns and takes in his surroundings. Jade had no clue where he was.

He appeared to be in a small wasteland with a town nearby. Jade slowly starts walking toward the town, to the next unlucky souls he would meet.
