Reunion

Ok back to serious stuff 😐

Sagittarius sighed while taking a sip of ice tea. He hissed as the pain in his knuckles flared. "You done sir?" The waitress said. "Yea." He gave her a tip and gave her money for the ice tea.

He walked around the square, his dog tag jingling with every step. He spotted a girl sitting by the fountain, placing a hand in the cold water. She looked strangely familiar.

Her long black hair was covering her face, making it unable to see her face clearly. He decided to ignore her and walked the opposite way.

He was so bored. He usually wandered the plaza as much as he could or he was punching his punching bag to oblivion. He saw a shop he wanted to go in for a while. It was a sports shop. Maybe he could afford some proper equipment for his injured knuckles.

He walked in with a bored look on his face. He went to the martial arts section. He took a look at the prices and almost laughed out loud. "Well that's not going to happen." He put the item back.

He looked over to the side and saw the girl again. Her face was a smooth milky white and her eyes, oh her eyes, it looked like a galaxy, a purple blue color. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen her before.

He gave into the feeling and approached her. "Hey! Do I know you? I keep getting this weird feeling." He sounded a bit rash. The girl had to look up at him to meet his stone cold eyes.

Her eyes widened. Those eyes, a stone soot color. She gulped and shook her head, she needed to leave now. She speed walked away. "Hey! Wait! I wasn't done!" Sag called out, but she was gone.

Her heart was thumping in her chest. Is it really him? She thought hard. She ran until she reached her own dorm and shut the door behind her.

A uncomfortable gloomy feeling filled her stomach. Her mind went to the dark thoughts again. "Looks like I have to take the meds." She mumbled.

She grabbed the bottle. She half expected to lose control again and dump the whole bottle in her mouth again but she held back and took her prescribed amount.

The pills took affect quickly, and she immediately felt much better. She couldn't believe she hadn't noticed he was here for 2 years. He must be the same age as her by now.

She looked at her weapon laying in the corner, she hadn't touched it for months. It was a bow and arrow. The bow was made of strong oak wood and the arrow tips were metal and she had various arrows.

The green ones meant poison, the red meant explosion, and the purple ones meant electric. The normal ones were plain. She ached to get out there and shoot it.

"Screw it." She grabbed the bow and left the room.

Sag continued wandering the plaza, hoping he would run into that girl again. He needed to know. He knew she was lying.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw someone run into the small forest that the bubble decided to keep. He ran after her.

The forest was beautiful, the light rained on her through the canopy. It was quiet and peaceful. Her targets were still etched into the trunks on the tree.

She took an arrow and notched it onto the bow. She didn't even need to aim. The arrow whooshed and hit the target dead center.

She botched anther arrow but heard a rustle behind her. She turned and found herself point the arrow at the man.

He had his hands up in defense. "It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanna know who you are." Hescus didn't answer she continued aiming at the man.

One move and he would be dead, it was so easy, the man that almost killed her was right at her feet before her, but she couldn't bring herself to kill him, no matter how much she wanted to.

She lowered her bow but she cautiously stepped back. Sag lowered his hands and walked toward her. She flinched and thought he might hit her again.

"Who are you?" He asked again. "You don't remember?"  Her voice was small and frail. "What do mean?" He was confused.

Her eyebrows slanted in anger. "Your the dirt beneath our feet? Always there to be stepped on?" She quoted his words from 2 years ago. The memory hit him like a truck.

She was so angry that she considered raising her bow again. Sag gulped "your her?" He pointed. "Yea I'm the one you shoved, I'm the one you tortured, I'm the one you called nasty names, IM THE ONE YOU ALMOST KILLED!" She yelled the last part.

She felt hot tears fall. "What do you mean kill?" Sag came a bit closer to her. "Because of you I almost killed myself, now I have to take anti depressants every day." She sobbed.

Sag remembered that he was her bully, he remembered every moment vividly, cutting her long silky hair. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." He said with a long breath.

Had he changed?

"What's your name?" He asked. She forgot that he didn't know her name. "Hescus." She wiped at the tears. "I'm Sagittarius." He extended his hand. Hescus refused to touch him and turned her back.

"Hit me." Sag suddenly said. Hescus faced him "what?" She asked. "Hit me! I deserve it!" He yelled in her face. Hescus raised her hand and trembled.

"HIT ME GOD DAMN IT!" Her hand came down and a loud crack echoed. Sag had his face to the side, a red handprint appearing his cheek.

"Do it again!" He faced her again. She slapped his other cheek, and it did hurt like hell but he deserved it. "KEEP GOING." He didn't feel satisfied. He felt he deserved more.

She slapped him back and forth for about two minutes straight. Her own teas started falling again. She stopped. Sag's cheeks were bright red and they stung.

When he reached to touch his cheek he hissed at the sensation. "I deserved that." He smiled. Hescus cried heavily. She felt a warm suddenly, she opened her eyes and found herself hugging Sag.

She hugged him back tightly and cried into his chest, wetting his shirt.

"I'm sorry." Hescus said quietly. "Don't be I'm a asshole." He laughed into her hair, it smelled like roses.

She looked up at him, her Galaxy eyes shining with tears. "We'll show me how you shoot." Sag handed her bow and arrows back.

Hescus laughed for the first time in years.
