"Good job, Kage, you've won the medal of being the dumbest team member. Is your IQ level on the floor or something," Raven hissed, slapping the boys outstretched hand as he tried to help her off the horse.
"It was just a mistake," Kage smiled, hoping the tears wouldn't trickle down his cheeks,"I've got butter fingers... in my defence, you guys gave me the gun."
"This isn't funny!" Raven huffed, pointing to Bear who walked off in the distance,"you could've hurt someone, you could've hurt Bear."
Would I... would I have hurt Bear?
I didn't meant to hurt Bear, if I did.
"I'm sorry-" Kage whispered, feeling a sob bubble up his throat.
"Sorry isn't going to cut it."
Biting on his lip, Kage looked over his shoulder to see Abby Griffin making their way towards the two. Just as she came to stand by his side, he rushed off, running across the grounds.
He didn't notice Miller seeking after him.
Rushing into his room, Kage slammed the door behind him, leaning up against it as a course scream of anguish tore from his throat. Tears suddenly trailing down his cheek, the boy gripped his hair, almost tearing it out.
"Why am I never good enough!" Kage screamed, biting his lips, causing droplets of blood to bubble up.
Suddenly standing up, the boy found himself flipping the small table beside his bed, the books towered on top skidding across the floor, torn pages flying across the room like white doves gone awry.
He was never good enough, from the day he was born, Kage was always disappointment in the eyes of those around him... except for his parents.
His teachers saw nothing useful in him that would benefit the ark.
His old friends saw nothing helpful in him that would rekindle their already lost friendship.
His old life, his younger self, seemed to sneer at himself in the mirror - disappointment clear in his eyes of what he had become.
No one important.
"Kage," a soft voice called from the doorway, as the sound of heavy shoes against the metal flooring could be heard, the door closing behind them.
"Go away!" Kage snarled, curling himself up, his head resting on his knees as his hands tore at his hair.
"No," the person smiled, coming to stand beside him,"get up, stop acting like an idiot and let's clean this mess."
Shaking his head like a child throwing a tantrum, Kage locked himself into place, not bothering to open his eyes and see who stood before him.
