Derailed

He shook of Vance's hand and walked to Maigo who had stepped back some. "Nothing Serious?" He pointed to Vance. "You could have KILLED him Maigo, none the less you injured him. Is that how a friend greets another friend? By attempting to murder them?" He shook his head. "Why are you doing this Maigo, I thought that I...." He clenched his fist tightly.

"I...can't do much about it now, can I?" she said, still petrified in place. Her facial expression was that of mixed sadness, frustration and some hatred all at once. "It's my business isn't it?" she avoided meeting his gaze by looking off to her side.

"It is also my business Maigo! You and Vance are my friends... or at least I thought you were." He looked at her and placed his hands onto her shoulders. "Maigo, why have you done this? There was no point into attacking Vance, both he and I care for you can't you understand that?"

Again she winced from his hands being set upon her shoulders. "I don't know w-why I did it.." she grimaced, trying to get rid of the stuttering that came from her feeling of uneasiness.

He tried to look at her eyes, she was acting much more differently then she has ever had before. "Whats the matter Maigo? What wrong, what happened?"

"I told you nothing happened, damn it!" she knocked his hands off her shoulders, then she gathered the nerve to look at him in the eye. You should've been dead.. she thought. Maigo glared at him for a few moments before speaking again. "What else do you want me to say?"

Vance stepped in between them. "Settle down, both of you. I think this could be much better resolved with words instead of actions. Reks, my wounds are only as bad as I judge them to be, and Maigo, if somethings wrong you should at least say something before killing me."

"I would expect concern, but not directed towards me. I'm just as worried about her as you are, but drilling her isn't the best means of finding out whats what." He returned Reks' stare unflinchingly.

Maigo cursed under her breath as she listened to the two bicker. She tried to think back to the exact moment where she had "lost it" to try to figure out why she did it, because Maigo herself didn't quite know either.

She thought again of walking behind Reks then stabbing him in the back just as she did Vance with her rapier...but Vance would be watching and knowing him, he would interfere and it would only lead to more complicated situations.

Again Maigo was apparently battling that "other side" of hers in her mind. It's all a valid reason though. Was it wrong? I don't think so...after all, I don't have much to lose. she thought. .."MUCH to lose"?... Maybe I just got bore- NO that's stupid!! Thoughts kept rolling into her mind as she had to find an answer to each and every one of them. Several times Maigo had thought of ways already to attempt to kill Reks, all those times she had stopped herself mostly because she knew it was practically impossible right now.

"It is impossible for you and I to actually be close"...that's what the human said. That being said I don't see any reason why I shouldn't go on and finish him off... her mind flashed back to the day back in Dublin where she and Reks were both sitting on the edge of his parents' bedroom bed, looking at the photos of his family like old friends. Even at that moment she had to admit that she felt like one of the family herself.

Once again Maigo tried to move away from the two thinking that if she left now, they would both hopefully forget the situation being that no other means of escape had came to mind, but again her feet wouldn't budge. It was as though Reks' glare was still holding her feet in place. Well, she could fly away I suppose..but no, that would be cowardly and for one thing, she was NOT a coward.

Maigo didn't move a muscle because her body had once again became stiff, nor did she say anything in response. She wobbled a bit to the left but quickly regained her balance. She closed her eyes, wishing that all this right now was just a dream.

Vance sighed. "Alright then, if you don't wanna say then you don't have to." He walked off and turned the corner, disappearing from their sight.

Maigo opened one eye to look at Reks. "S-see? He says it's alright if I don't want to...say..it..[/i] she muttered and stiffly took another step back before a thought came to her mind. "..We're...alone.." that thought had come out verbally instead of staying in her head like it should have, but that didn't make much of a difference now. A wry, but gentle smile ever-so-slowly spread over her face. "Reks, this is it.." she said quietly though happily.


I don't know where to go.

Although she was on the brink of attacking him, Maigo stood there completely still and silent.

"You didn't honestly expect me to just leave you two alone now did ya? He looked down on them from the fire escape above. "That would be idiotic."

She'd been in this spot before, but surely she wouldn't react the same as she did last time.

"If you want to live you'd best leave." she said unconsciously. Her smile was still on her face as she paused for a few seconds. "Now." her smile faded and a more serious expression came over her face.

This time she actually hesitated to take a step back as though one half of her wanted to move towards Reks and the other half wanted to go away from him. So that's it, huh? THAT'S why I did it. she thought, smiling at him once again. "I can't say I enjoyed the visit." she bit her lip and practically used all she had in her to force herself to run back to a safer distance. If I'm gonna fight anyone it has to be myself. she thought. ..not here.. she stopped running and immediately flit out of sight.
