Grim was picking at her stitch again.
Ember swatted her hand with a frustrated growl "how will you get better if you won't leave the stitches I sew into you alone" grim looked at the healing wound one her shoulder, the knife wound did nothing to fase her, ember was only making sure they were not infected, but memories of the rebellion shattered her thoughts, she quickly swept the broken fragments of her thoughts away from her torturous mind, thats what she always did with her gory thoughts.

Lexandria walked through the burned and crumbling arch way that Tristan had said he would fix and tossed a small apple to ember which end she failed to catch and looked around "weres Clair" grim answered before ember could finish folding the apron and placing it on the edge of the sofa. Polishing the bruised fruit
"The lake"
Lexandria look at grim and then look away from the oozing wound on her shoulder blade "damnit grim, looks like you got in a fight with a garbage disposal" grim looked at her through the corner of her like almost gold brown eyes "did that once," the tattooed female faked a shutter "garbage disposal won"
Grim was twiddling her fingers
She had killed so many people
So many bullets she had one fired

As a young marine, before the tattoos and the piercing and the sociopathic tendencies she had join the marines to help fight...
She didn't know they had sent her to steal oil from poorer countries till after the dead were buried

Grim thoughts clouded Grims head, Ember looked over her shoulder after eating the apple whole spitting out the seeds and stem "hey you should get some rest on that shoulder" grim nodded once moving her spot to the couch and sitting

But she didn't sleep, she knew her demons liked to dance in the dark.
And what darker place then her own mind?

.............................................................

Lexandria pluses her lips looking threw the kitchen door, as if she could see the silent female behind the wooden wall
"I don't know how they will get over this" she whispered to Tristan while he dug around for his tools, he had a call to help fix the pipes at the neighbours house, they offered a nice wad of cash for it and Alexandria new he needed it to keep up with the rent, 21 banged his head on the sink pipe and yelped before freeing him self and giving her a look through his glassy blue eyes "they won't, they'll just have to learn to live with it" Lexandria sighed, brown lock tickling her forehead "wow go all Edgar Allen Poe on me"
"Oh babe you know you love the fore play" she wacked him with a towel "where's jay"
"Where do ya think" he supplied unhelpfully continuing he said "she's off at work still, she said she maybe able to come home with some bread"
Lexandria shook her head doubtfully
"Well she would need to be home for that" Tristan rolled his eyes and patted her shoulder it "we'll work it out" he phrased and walked out the arch way and out the back door

What her and Tristan were was insuperable, together? They had never discussed it but if the world hadn't had gone to shit she could see them as a happy couple but right now they both knew a messy break up wasn't what they need and the title of best friend was obviously his

The door slammed shut thinking it was Tristan she sighed melodramatically and picked up his phone and gone to the door only surprised it was Clair she locked her blue gaze with Lexandrias brown "hey" Lexandria almost flinched at her own sympathetic voice, Clair cringed as her gaze fluttered to grim and it turned to a scowl Lexandria was surprise to see the dismissed solider asleep "why is she here" Clair spat and Lexandria turned to her and in a patronizing tone said "she's lives here" Clair scoffed "didn't know you let murders live here" she said that part partially loud and Lexandria glared at her as grim tossed "stop it, I know you upset but this is the only time she had a good sleep" Clair scoffed "she isn't sleeping" grim flinched and Lexandria sighed

Why was her life so much like a soap opera

"You know you got some guts even looking at the couch that William bought" grim was sitting up now and wasn't looking her in the eyes "wow the big bad bruised solider can't look me in the eye" grim snaped her glare up to be ment with Clair's and she bit her lip and tilted her head as if in thought and then she said
"Well I've gotta have lots of guts after all William was shot in the abdomen right"
And that's when Clair Lunched her self at grim. Lexandria sighed  leaning against the post as she watch the two sister like best friend tare each other apart, thats when Tristan lumbers in. Lexandria passes him his phone with out looking away from the two with grim obviously winning until Clair grabs her bad shoulder

Tristan sighs
"Agian?"
Lexandria nodded

But she did have to admit
It made up for not paying the cable
Not that there was anything to watch anymore anyway
