Burns Deep (Invite)

[Jayr Byrne]

The Culinary Arts

For one thing Jayr wasn't made for the kitchen, be it her feet were too large or creativity too limited but deep down she just felt plain unnatural unless she was working constructively. Cooking seemed just the opposite. Their teacher had spent the first twenty minutes making it expressly pointless to scour all the food that'd been stockpiled because seemingly only twenty percent or so actually made it into the finished meal. Counter-intuitive. Very much so.

As Jayr stood simply in a side spot of the kitchen making herself look busy cutting tomatoes she'd eyed up the place quickly should she ever have to put herself out of her misery due to complete and utter boredom here. Chewing on her lip she'd notice the room was essentially two rectangles coming together at their tips. The door by the first one where the desks were located while the other rectangle housed the stoves. Jayr herself stood at the first taking her sweet time peeling fruits and vegetables before the teacher would summon her forth.

"Miss Byrne, show me your designated arrangement."

Jayr eyed her hands filled with multiple vegetables thinking it looked nothing like an arrangement but rather a salad bar with mixed arrangements at best. A weak smile as she'd carry a light load in her palms towards the stove piling them in, with a ladle she'd make it a point to turn them evenly looking up every three seconds to smile innocently at the teacher only getting shamed looks of concern.

*beep beep beep beep*

Smoke rising from her pan would send the girls into a screaming fury as everyone bolted from the room in a tizzy and Jayr stood silently grabbing the baking soda pouring it over the open flame.

"At least I did something right."

X sat in the corner out in the halls of the school. The new collar around her neck serving to shock her if she steps out of line was just an addition to the itchy feeling on her neck. No one was walking by.. everyone in class. Though she was told to wait and so she did.

Here ears perked when she heard the alarm going off in the room across from her. People rushed out of the room and she was left unnoticed due to all the panic for what ever was going on inside the room. She could have plucked a few from the crowd, but she decided against it when her eyes flashed to the single figure within the class. As the flood of people exited the building X slipped up the wall to a stand. Her small feet wouldn't make any noise as she stepped into the class towards the girl. X stared at the girl with those empty eyes that at the same time showed so much intensity. Without looking behind herself she would close the door and even go as far as locking the door as she stared.... studying the girl. This was the girl she chose to make suffer.... she has to make sure she wouldn't get away.... she let someone get away and she disappointed Shu.

Now walking towards the girl, X wouldn't make a sound...cautious steps as to not disturb the female... all though little would X know that the simplicity of her presence was enough to put someone on edge. She would finally approach her...then her hand would abruptly shoot out to stroke her face. She never saw anything bad with it... it wasn't ordinary to touch someone's face... but if she was allowed to touch her face...she would do so...getting a feel at what she looked like along side staring at her...

Pretty...

Her eyes would look over at the red element of the oven indicating it was hot.... that was when X's eyes turned to the girls arm.... her own hand darting out to grab the girl's wrist and slam the back of her hand against the element and would hold it there as long as she could... hearing the sizzle of her skin...the burning smell of her flesh.

Stabbing Pain

Jayr stood there with her hands up in a distressing manner, one hand cocked at an angle while the other she held the box of baking soda limply angled downward dousing the flames with a protective layer till the fumes faded. Jayr's eyes would angle upwards at the only person not in a panicked rush out of the room. Her eyes would size up the person wearing little more than latex straps and a mask that'd concealed her features. Something about the creature in its entirety put Jayr on edge. Part of her wanted to turn and run but to where? There was the one entrance that the masked fiend blocked and that was about it lest Jayr was so inclined about jumping into ventilation shafts. Yet another part told her to hold her ground. Standing firm her outstretched arms would lower slowly prepared to put the baking soda on the table nudging away slowly only by small inches not far enough to get away.

A strange stroking hand would come to her face and Jayr would shy away sharply turning her face to the side edging away further unsure of what to say, quickly her right hand would come up to swat away the hand like scolding a child and it seemed as though that'd struck a note.

A fast jerk towards her left arm moving it to the oven's edge. A quick searing pain would seize her upper arm sending Jayr into a squealing fit. The pain was too much to feel at first so it was just the shock of the action.

"YOU BITCH!"

The adrenaline running through her it'd not be hard to get her palm back jerking it back with both hands falling backwards holding the limp and rushing towards the back sink to which she'd run the water over the burn breathing heavily. Half of her mind completely devoid of the creature that'd just struck her. Tears were welling up in her eyes as Jayr would hyperventilate managing to catch the swelling wound just in time under the cool water.

[Olivia Green]

"YOU BITCH!"

And those words meant absolutely nothing to her. Her eyes would stare into the girl's watching for her reaction... only to have her tug her hand free and she ran to a sink to put it under water. X would approach behind her and watch what she was doing... not exactly understanding what she was doing. Though it would all end when she would simply grab the hand that was burned and slam the back of it to the cutting board as X would snatch up a thick cutting knife and slam it through her hand and hopefully sticking her against the wood of the board.

If she managed this...X would reach for another knife and press it to the girl's throat. She was told not to kill her, but she needed to hear more screams... if she heard screams she was doing it right and she could continue doing such.

(OOC: sorry...short)

[Jayr Byrne]

Pain, Pain, and more pain.

Jayr would see the girl appear out of her peripheral vision catching that contemplative stare as Jayr's hand trembled beneath the water, her breath heavy with aggravation from the burns and suddenly she was lurched away. A backward hand plant against the cutting board a taught grip against her hand as she screamed in pain from the contact.

Her eyes watering at this point and Jayr would act quickly entirely out of instinct. Rolling her back on the end of the table she'd backwards somersault bringing her legs up quickly vertical to knock the knife from the creature's grasp. Following the move through Jayr would roll off on the other side of the table holding her scarred hand protectively watching back in fear.

"Stay the fuck away from me!"

Her screams no doubt not getting through but Jayr had room now to bolt for the door, however that required her to turn her back. Inching slightly in reverse Jayr would grab the handle of a spatula and toss it across the void at the monster's face and would bolt around the corner of another desk putting two between them now. She'd need to slowly make her way out.

[Olivia Green]

She managed to escape the knife... and so X would watch as the girl inched away from her... not turning her back. She went as far as throwing a spatula at her face..though X didn't want that so she would raise her forearm quickly to let that take the blow. It sent a sting of pain within her, but X would just stare at the girl none the less.

Now she started circling... not going head first into attacking her... a tiger surrounding their prey.. Though.. really she just walked towards the door. She wasn't dumb. She didn't want another one escaping.

So now her back was to the door and the girl would have to run around her to get to it. She was trapped. X walked towards the girl, but stopped short at a seat... yup.. she picked the chair up and would fling it towards the girl and while doing so she would run towards her and tackle her to the ground where she would the send punches in the direction of her face... back and forth with each fist.

[Jayr Byrne]

Desk War.

Jayr found her feet matching to mirror the circle, seeing it her way it was worse to have her back exposed to this freak rather than escaping immediately, already down at halftime Jayr was left with only a few options left. Her eyes darting past the freak in a mask towards the roof, yeah she'd be daring enough to escape through there. With a calm little smirk she nodded.

Then the quick dash as a chair flew overhead buzzing past her brow as Jayr slid to narrowly dodge it hiding beneath an oven as she broke the exterior with a kick sliding under it and hooking a latch so that the creature couldn't claw at her this time however if she'd done as originally planned to tackle atop it'd land atop the stove.

Jayr would kick the top of the stove from beneath before hitting the gas line starting the gas to pump before flipping a match that was left below.

"Fry bitch!"

She'd call out lighting the flame sending the gas explosion upwards only searing Jayr briefly to the point her cooking robe was on fire. Tossing it aside she'd move quickly to the back of the room hoping the explosion had immobilized the bitch long enough. With a kick and a jerk Jayr would pull herself into the back ventilation shaft and would scuttle along in her escape.

[Olivia Green]

X would push her onto the oven... but right then she smelled the gas...

"Fry bitch!"

X-774's eyes grew wide and that was enough to give her warning as she through herself onto the ground. It wasn't fast enough. The heat was strong and she felt it sear at the material at her shoulders along with a fraction of the mask.

She rolled on the ground while smacking at the flames that were still working at her clothes. She would get up and feel at the areas that were burned.... coming across her face... she was able to feel a fraction of her cheek and nose. She... had never been able to do as much. Tears came to her face... both a feeling she couldn't explain and fear for getting in trouble for being able to do so.

She looked back at the oven and the girl was no longer there as her fear grew larger. Green eyes looked around in panic... the door was not open so she was hiding... She was about to look until her eyes came across the part of the vent was on the ground. She looked up and saw that it was exposed.

Climbing into the vent she would keep going until she would find her... banging her shoulders and snagging the skin on her palms and knees against the jagged metal at the half assed welding jobs at each joint. If she caught up she would grab her ankle and try to drag her closer and due to her size she would slide in over her and try to slam her face onto the "ground".

[Jayr Byrne]

At times like these, I love heels

That was right because despite the tight space, and musky room filled with all sorts of fear Jayr would quickly find herself grasped from behind by the ankle. A quick shocked breath forcing her to wheeze quickly as the strength of the creature jerked back becoming the embodiment of every nightmare that Jayr had ever experienced. Atop of it the pain in her hand started lurching out as well stinging as she dug her nails into whatever she could to be not pulled back.

Letting loose a scream she'd flail out with her right leg kicking the thing in the face as hard as she could, though it'd hurt a lot more with her high heels on which luckily enough she'd been wearing.

If the monster let loose Jayr would jostle forward down the lane coming to an edge in the vent and grabbing around the edges banging it roughly to force some kind of movement out of it.

"Help please, somebody!" She'd call out still clattering at the vent before the thing gave way letting herself fall out face forward into the room.

The room itself was a dark one, lights turned off but even with the slightest window open she could tell it was the library. A short gasp as she stifled her breathing forcing herself to slink into a corner next to a shed of books slowly slinking her way on hands and knees to the light of the door using the shadows as cover from the creature's sight.

[Olivia Green]

The girl would kick in her grasp and it had hit her in the face. She heard and felt the crack of her nose. Blood gushed out from her nose as the girl was escaping. X groaned as she reached up with both hands and pressed her finger tips to each side of her nose... with a slight exhale she would the push and crack her nose back in to place.

She heard the girl scream and that's when she hurried to get to her. She now found herself in a dark room... it was obvious where she was, but that didn't mean she knew what it was... She had just seen it on surveillance.

X would look around, not able to see her... her eyes coming to a pointer stick. She would grab it and snap it on her thigh making sharp and jagged edges. She heard the shuffling of the girl crawling... her ears were able to follow the noise due to the way she was taught as a blind person... probably because her eyesight wasn't the best... X would walk towards the sound and would smack the stick to a table near where she thought she heard a stir in the silence and she if she could get a reaction like a jump or a gasp.

If she managed something she would find the girl heading for the door... she would run head first to her and sweep her up onto her feet and against a wall... now she would slam one half of the pointer stick through the girl's shirt and into the wall...doing the same on the other side.... this was when she would then grab the hand that was burned roughly and slam it palm down against the wall as she would run her jagged nails across the burned flesh...her eyes staring into the others... begging for the screaming and suffering.

[Jayr Byrne]

Fight and Flight.

Jayr was afraid, it wasn't easy to cover that up especially when there was no one around. She was strong though and would rely on more than just the need to take flight. Especially here, this spot is where it came down to something more than just fleeing, this was the fight syndrome. She'd step into the place and make her stand against the monster.

*Crack*

She flinched hiding behind a bookshelf urging herself not to make any noise as the light steps carried their way closer. Jayr's foot would tap at the floor quickly and nervously until she realized what she was up to.

Too late.

The rushing hooves of the creature now on her behind the case, with a shove Jayr would topple the case, and in the dark there was more to be used, if the entirety of the shelf didn't come down on her at the very least a fallen book would act as shrapnel.

Bolting across the foray Jayr would hurtle in the act snatching the heels off her feet and into her hand and she'd bluntly ram the door breaking out into the light and against the next wall taking to flight once more down the halls hoping a stray face would make appearance and chase the nightmares away.

[Olivia Green]

She was looking for the girl and she was just about to go around the book shelf... until she saw it shift. Her eyes went wide knowing what would happen to her if she was to stay. She turned to run, looking back knowing she wouldn't get out in time.. she threw herself to the ground trying to dive out of the way... but the book case landed on her legs. Mid-thigh up was safe.

She clawed at the carpet... tears coming to her eyes as she let out loud screams...

"AAGH!!" she started panicking... she got away... another one got away before she could make them suffer... and to top it off her legs were most definitely damaged.... she knew they weren't broken, but they may as well of. Her chest started to heave as her breath began to hyperventilate.

Teeth clenching she had seen legs standing before her. She looked up as her brows furrowed and her lungs begged for hair as every breath was cut in short and sharp pains.

The man was no doubt an employee for Shu. X may have seen him before, but she never remembered anyone's face with the exception of Shu.

"Agent Shu, another one got away and Experiment #774 is under critical damage... Her mask appears to be somewhat seared exposing a fraction of her face..." he spoke into his head piece.

"He-he-lp!" she needed to get out to get the girl... she needed to prove herself... so she begged... she was scared for her life... scared for what Shu would do to her.

"...And she is talking... Yes sir... Affirmative." The man pulled out a syringe and would remove the cap. Once flicking at it once or twice and letting some out to assure there were no bubbles within the liquid. The man knelt down looking at X as she huffed in as much air as she could..feeling rather light headed. "You're slipping. This will disappoint Agent Shu." he would tell her. The tears poured out and before she could try to beg to get a second chance at getting the girl... he stuck her with the needle and almost instantly she saw black and she was out...
