Show No Weakness ( Uriel/Open )

[Zen]

Zen was finally back at school, it had been a week since she had set foot on these grounds and as she made her way up to the building, she noted the way people kinda just...side stepped her.....

Was it because she was pregnant? No...that just got her funny looks before when the news had broke......Was it cause she was new? Nah cause she had been here long enough.....

Then it dawned on her as she heard a kid whisper to another....

"Thats the School Captains girlfriend...Best to stay away from her.."

Ahhhh yes...Cain...of course...he was School Captain now and amongst most that bred a certain amount of fear...So no wonder they were afraid to bump into her, or touch her...gah! People were so stupid......

Shaking her head, she let out a soft sigh as she just avoided the building all together. She was not in the mood to sit through class and listen to the hushed whispers and the fear filled eyes....

Honestly they were idiots....all of them.......And honestly she was getting sick of it...She had yet to meet one person besides that Jayden guy who had a brain and even he had been gone for awhile now.....

Taking a seat beneath one of the larger oak trees that lined the campus grounds she leaned back, her hand resting on her slightly enlarged stomach out of habit...a little groan of dissatisfaction as she laid her head back.....Gods she wished Cain wasn't so busy all the time.....At least then he could be here with her on the whole first day back thing........But it would have been selfish of her to ask.....

[Uriel]

Arrogance had gotten a man thusfar and it carried him onward through life that meant not a single thing could change his outlook. However much it cost him in life. Things always played to a different ends, it was merely the way you went about it. A smooth roll of the tongue and he'd already managed up a crowd about his center. First but a few days ago when he'd stopped a riot with but a single phrase and now he'd managed up a tyraiding parade to his excellence. It seemed as though pieces played right into his hands most evidently proving him to be the best in this game. Yet again he was playing against himself. A foe doesn't just step forward to play often times one had to go looking.

And as the often simplistic view of things carried off his gaze shifted beneath the tree of a hill overlooking the campus. Ah Mrs. School Captain. It seemed as though fate played to his favor telling him an opportunistic goal he had half a mind to search out and once more achieve.

"Boy's would you mind bringing a present to me?" His eye glimmering shortly sending the message across as he vanished into some dark ominous hallway. Certainly the kind for the theatrics.

As he dissipated the crowd separated all but a group of four. An odd coupling, a short skinny fellow, a large behemoth, a trim sports jock, and a female cheerleader. All of which moved in unison up the hill grasping the girl and carrying her down without giving the option but rather forcing her into the hall before shifting their backs forming a defensive blockade unrelenting of escape.

[Zen]

Just as her eyes had fallen closed, she felt the presence of those surrounding her, but before she could ever open her eyes she felt a set of hands upon her.....Gripping her arms rather tightly and jerking her little frame up from the ground, her bag and stuff left behind as she growled and struggled to get free....This was not the kinda shit she needed right now. Her leg lifting to kick one, getting his grip to loosen only to have the other release her long enough to pick her up about her waist.....

She went to scream, but yeah, hand over the mouth did not help....All the while in her mind unable to do too much because of the baby.....Yet that did not stop her from trying...Her long locks falling into her face as she was carted into the hallway and then set down before some creepy kid with some really bad haircut....

Almond eyes narrowed on him as she turned to try and leave only to run directly into a wall of thoes who had carried her in here......A set of large hands gripping her shoulders and turning her about to face the creepy kid once more..This time that grip on her shoulders making her wince slightly given she had just recently gotten out of the hospital thanks to big brother and his "teaching" lesson.....

Finally with a little growl once more escaping her, she drew in a deep breath and once more gave a failed effort at trying to get away from that grip before she would spat out her very unhappy words....

"What the FUCK do you want!!? Let me the fuck go asshole!"

She drew in deep breaths, trying to calm down as her hand rested on her stomach....feeling a tinge of pain....The doctors had told her not to get too upset given the attack......She had to try and remember to stay calm.....It was all she could really do...

[Uriel]

Calmly Uriel turned about hearing the mouth on this one was surely a pain in the neck already. He weighed his options figuring there was another way. There was but he figured out of his own lazy instrumentation that this was by chance the most efficient way to go about things to a degree where he wouldn't have to raise much of his own fists but rather those of another pushing force. Mainly those of his henchmen and the crazy suit of warriors in his flank.

"Calm yourself, wouldn't want anything negative to happen to you of course.... Then again anything can be arranged with the right talents."

To which he alluded his own character out of egocentricity. He had a bit of a proposition to deal with this girl and her captain to perhaps nudge them out of his way. Having never affiliated in a face to face association it only made him seem a bit paranoid already targeting potential threats to his orchestration.

"I'm here of negotiate a bit of a proposition, something of a non-aggression pact. Cain stays out of my way annnnd we'll see if I can work without treading on his toes if you understand me correctly..." He'd say absent mindedly stroking at the bridge of her hair settling a bit behind her ear.

[Zen]

She tried to jerk her head away as she felt his touching her hair. A growl sounding in her throat as she struggled to get away from this group of guys. Yet keeping in mind that she had to be careful.

"Go to hell. I am not gonna make him do anything like that. He is not that kind of person."

Well he wasn't. Cain could never set aside and watch others suffer when it was his duty to make sure that they were safe. She knew that enough and could never ask it of him. Especially not for some guy that was being all creepy and practically abducting her.

Yeah she knew it was probably not the best idea, but at the same time she was not going to give in. It was not in her to do such a thing, not now, not ever. She was standing up for what she believed in and not about to make deals with slimy little creeps like this guy.

"And get your fucking hands off of me!"

Surely the other students noted the commotion but they had no intention of stepping in. The little army surrounding the small girl was more than enough to deter most if not all of them.

[Uriel]

A bit of ruckus that was to be expected of this place. Even still Uriel counted he probably had about ten minutes before a hero showed up. There was always one who thought he could fight against an outnumbering party of warriors. Even still there was no escape now he'd revealed his intentions and there was no retreat it was win or go home to lick your wounds.

"Hmmm such a shame, I'd hoped we could get along because...." His voice dragged on enunciating the "s" like a hiss of a snake. "The alternative is not too beneficial to you, or your child..."

His eyes would shift downward towards her belly suggesting the threat, implying that he'd predetermined murder as a solution to his means of control. Why would it not? Uriel was under duel citizenship, any problems here he'd bail overseas and escape any punishment with a grand smile on his face. Let alone they couldn't catch him he was too smart.

"I'll say it in words you can understand..." Leaning up closely to her ear he'd part lips for an answer before.

"Hey YOU!" The threat thrown out from a boy relatively lanky but obviously someone to not tread lightly.

With a quick jerk of his head Uriel would stare the boy down the golden eye piercing through him commanding his marionette becoming little more than a slave.

"Or perhaps a visual interpretation is required... Boy? I'd like you to jump from that building..." He'd elongate his finger pointing to the tower of the school.

"Yes My Lord.." With a solemn bow if not stopped the boy would jerk off into a run in moments arriving at the tower's top. Gasps and shrill screams heard and in an instant the silence broken with a thump.

"You see.... I have many skill sets that would end badly if not appeased, now shall we talk?" He smiled as though he hadn't ben responsible.

[Cain]

Hmm...?

Cain would furrow his eyebrows as he slowly made his way up the hill, clad in a plain white shirt, a pair of black denim jeans and his sneakers. The tree of the hill. Wasn't this the place that Zen told him to meet her at? He stopped in his tracks for a moment, looking around as he proceeded to check the other trees on the hill from the distance, but failed to see Zen's familiar figure under their canopy of leaves. He turned back to his initial guess, before continuing his way up. And then he saw it. There, by the roots of the tree, lay objects that Cain recognised to be Zen's. His eyes widened as a sting of fear found his heart. Something happened to Zen.

He tossed his bag off his shoulders as he knelt down, looking at the objects. Considering how it was sprawled all over the place, Cain figured that Zen was suddenly dragged away. By who, Cain did not sure yet. He had a few guesses, but considering what Cain had done to him, he doubted that Erik would try the same thing again. He sat upon, looking around, clinging onto a faint hope that he would suddenly catch sight of Zen somewhere. However, instead, he saw one of her classmates moving towards him.

"CAIN! I saw Zen getting dragged away by a couple of guys just now!"

As awesome as the timing was, Cain found himself far from celebrating yet as he rushed his way down the hill to meet up with her. Yeah, Cain knew her. Cain was in some of their classes, but she shared more with Zen than he did. Cain looked into her eyes, as if questioning for answers.

"Where?! Where did they ta-"

Then, something past her shoulder caught Cain's eyes. A crowd of students had gathered at some point of the courtyard. And at first, Cain thought that it was a tussle, but no. They were all looking up. And Cain would follow their glance, the girl in front of him, now to be named Sara, would turn around to look too. And the two of them would find the object in question. Standing atop the tower that stood by the school was a young boy. Who jumped. Sara screamed as Cain let out a curse, watching only as the boy fell to his death.

"Fuck... Follow me."

Cain would order Sara as he moved past her, quickly making his way into the crowd and shoving his way through. It was not that hard, considering that a part of the crowd had dispersed, either in fear or disgust. Cain would turn back as he was halfway through the crowd, as if reminding Sara to follow him, and soon enough, he reached the suicidal Sophomore, who lay silent on the ground, eyes wide in fear, his limbs twisted in unnatural ways, as blood started to surround him. Cain let out another curse, kneeling down beside him. He was definitely dead now. No one could have survived that fall.

However, Sara gasped, catching Cain's attention. He turned back to her, noticing the fear in her eyes as she covered her mouth with her hands, as if trying to prevent herself from screaming. However, what Cain noticed was that she looked as if she knew the boy. Cain barely recognised him.

"What?

"Tha-... That's one of the people who dragged Zen away."

Cain's eyes widened as he shot up, straightening himself instantly as he stared into Sara's eyes. Once more, he felt his heart skip a beat. This was not good. This was not good at all. Cain gritted his teeth behind his lips. What the hell was going on here? He turned to a pair of boys behind Sara, then.

"You two. Go to Mr. Durand and tell him about this. Now." They would depart, knowing that disobeying otherwise would get them into worse trouble. "Sara. Bring me to where Zen is, now."

And Sara would nod her head, before taking the lead as Cain followed up behind her, leaving the corpse on the ground behind him. That was Mr. Durand's trouble now. Cain had to take care of his first priority. His family.

[Zen]

Those eyes noted what was going on, just as her ears did but her mind was a different story. It refused to wrap around the whole fact that he had just literally told somebody to jump from the school and from the sounds she heard outside, the boy had done it....

Growling softly she narrowed her eyes on him. Scared? Yeah..who wouldn't be in her situation? But backing down? Oh come on!

"No! Now get the fuck away from me! I wont ask him to do that. So give it up!"

She again struggled to jerk away from the one's who kept her so tightly held in place....Feeling a tinge of pain in her shoulder from the grip as she did so.....

She wanted to get away from them, away from this creepy dude who was apparently some kind of brain washer or something....Cause yeah....dude just jumped to his death...Sooo yeah....

Both her hands resting on her stomach...Thoughts in her mind about the threats he had made and knowing he could very well carry them out....Yet the thought of asking Cain to do something so against his character was worse....he would hold it against her...hate her.....She could not live with that.....

Almond eyes met with the blond boys for a moment before she jerked them away to look at the ground....Yeah she just got this really creepy chill down her spine every time she looked at blondy.

(OOC: I love how Sara is Zen's friend. >.> I wonder where her name came from.....*thinks* )

[Uriel]

tsk tsk

Such cheap parlor games, her defiance only pressed Uriel to lose what bit of patience he had left however a bit of his company reserved what focus he had. This was not the time to be making games nor was it the time to lose focus on ones priority. Stepping forward he'd kneel before her staring at her tummy. Yes he was now onto the fact that there was a child growing within her. Quite the embellishing detail it'd take quite lot to protect more than one person let alone the school. Eventually everyone broke.

"Well, we'll just have to see about that..." A firm grin in place before flipping his hair and turning about leaving behind the zombie like group.

Another would join somewhat lanky of a figure, his face disfigured from an earlier beating but now the dazed expression had shown the end result.

"We'll keep in touch, and I'll be expecting a bit of understanding on both our behalves...."

With that the group would leave, however the lanky fellow would wait behind staring at her with a dull expression patient and sure.
