Chapter 37

Day 9: Eastbell,Icewynne,Notsuoh lounge and bar,The Roof,After Hours,Dark Hour

Arsen glanced back and forth between Snow and Fox. The tension in the air was so thick he could cut it with his veggetti zucchini peeler. He hated when things got like this, adding a new member to the group should have made things more fun, yet here everyone is gathered on the roof because nobody could get along.

"This!" Azure said her voice sharp and harsh. Her tone reminded him of the first time they met. She was scary enough then to send three hoodlums crying to their mommies, and it would be a lie to say she was scary enough now to make Arsen want to pee his pants a little...only a little...

"Is ridiculous!" She continued. Azure paced the perimeter of the roof trying her hardest to control her breathing. I swear if both of you don't grow the hell up, I'm throwing you off this roof. Tonight!" The look in her eye confirmed that she was dead serious.

Sage however, remained calm and collected, staring out at the illuminated skyline in the distance. "I don't see anything wrong with a little conflict." He stated flatly "It builds character." A small smirk snuck along his lips.

Arsen scoffed. What the hell was wrong with him?

Snow spoke up. "I didn't mean to trip her, honest!" Arsen glanced over her facial features. She looked truly afraid, even in the stillness of the night, he could still catch her shivering and shaking. "I don't know what happened, something just...something just told me to do it"

"What you mean you?!" Fox snapped at Snow causing her to flinch. "You made it loud and clear that you hate me. And you expect me to believe that you sent me falling to the floor as some kind of accident? If you're gonna be a bitch then at least own up to what you did." She rolled her eyes "And here I was thinking you were all big and bad, yet you're nothing but a crybaby who can't even own up to what you did"

Tears began to run down Snow's eyes.

"You're right..."

"Damn straight I am. You were the one who wanted me to join this stupid team and you still cant even treat me with respect."

Snow didn't respond.

Arsen, for once couldn't take sides. Here he was, the big and bad Latino activist, the one who spent late nights with his friends planning out marches and protest to fight for what he believed in. But right here, right now, he had no idea what to believe in.

Should he take Fox's side? Though Snow and Fox got off to a rough start Fox has been an important asset to the team, and she decided to join Project Amnesia despite how harsh Nova has been to her. Even today, Fox was on good behavior.

Or does he stand up for for Snow? He knew her much longer than fox, and she seemed genuinely sorry for what she did. What if she was telling the truth, what if she truly didn't mean to hurt Fox? And if that were true, then there must be something more to this story, and they definitely have bigger, more important...more dangerous things to worry about.
