Thread: The Place Where I Belong [MrPenguin][BI T T E R]

The world was a strange and unfair place Klaud already knew that. The Earl played with the love that humans had, using them to bring back a spirit of the departed, and then murder them both, the caller...And the soul that was resurrected. Wear their skin she wasn't sure if it would be a blessing or a curse to have Allen Walker's eye, seeing the souls, the tormented and chained... The Earl made them dance like puppets, and she was sure to defy any act to control her, Cross would only use her once, break her heart, and move on. She had seen him enough times, wooing, than discarding numerous of women, like toys when a child grew bored. She wasn't strong... Just careful. Jumping out of the way of a fist, she cartwheeled away, her shirt tucked in to prevent it from rising up, Klaud's eye hardened, her whip lashing out as Lau Shimin's attack landed to close for comfort, her Innocence darting out of the way of the attack. It was a few minutes, before she tired to if, sweat rolling down her forehead, before she recalled him back, the now small monkey scrambling to her shoulder. A bath... That would be good. A soft hiss of water as the water sputtered from the head, the General stepped into the water, her hair falling to her shoulders, feeling the warm water cascade down. White scars, of numerous of battles, and taming incidents lined her body. Cross wouldn't like it, it showed how flawed she was, not the perfect doll-like ladies he would court. Her head against the cold stall walls, she sighed, before scrubbing her hair with the shampoo laying around. Her feet took her outside, her hair still down, Lau Shimin on her shoulder once more, she ran a hand through her hair, before stepping outside. The fresh air felt good on her face, as she headed towards the the cliff's edge, feeling the wind swirl around her. Klaud could almost imagine it was the spirits of her students, fallen comrades... Silly, wasn't it? Her eyes fell closed, her hair tossed up by the fingers of the wind, as Lau Shimin chattered about something. Her eye caught sight of someone sleeping, though by the mass of red hair, she could guess who it was. She didn't know why, but next moment, she was standing over the sleeping male, looking down with a disapproving expression, half her face still hidden, though the blond locks were free from their clipped confinement. Sitting down, her hand reaching towards his hat, what was underneath his mask...? No, she shouldn't. It was silent, like a clip from a picture or painting, Cross lay on the grass, while Klaud was looking at him, a hand outstretched, before recalling it. It was so quiet...He looked sincere, no lewd grins... But, than his face was covered by a hat, so...It was surely something to judge. She felt tired some reason, and found herself lying down on her side, facing Cross, amethyst eye half shut. A nap...She would be gone before Cross woke...Surely. Lau Shimin snuggled into her arms, as she fell asleep, both Generals free of their duties, asleep outside of the Tower, where anyone could find the two opposites an inch between their bodies, quite and silent. Maybe only the wind and clouds were a quiet testimony.listu
