Behind Amber Eyes

Party

Party sat there, observing Shock from afar. He noticed how she smirked whenever someone teased her, and how she pulled away when someone got too close, just like when he saw her before. Nothing had changed except for her eyes. Her eyes were duller, more distant, and something else. Insanity? Thought Party. He shook his head to clear the thought.

Shock was still working with Ghoul, patching something on his face. Then she leaned her ear in to him, and Ghoul pulled her down on top of him. Party looked down at his hands. How come Ghoul was so charming? Was it his looks? Was it his humor? Party couldn't tell exactly, but it worked well on Shock.

Eventually, Party got sick of looking at Shock on top of Ghoul, so he decided to go for a walk. He made his way towards the BLInd van, stepping over dracs on the way. When he got to the van, he took a look inside. Noting interesting was inside, it just looked like it was transporting dracs. But why would they fight if they were just being moved? Party thought. It was definitely strange. He continued around to the front of the van. The driver was gone, probably to fight. He looked around some more and the, not too far away, was the coolest motorcycle he had ever seen.

Party abandoned the van and headed towards the bike. Like a child, Party ran up to the bike and started exploring it.

The body was so sleek. "I wonder if it's aerodynamic," Party thought out loud. He stroked the side. The black finish was so smooth. He climbed onto the bike and pretended to drive it. He adjusted the mirrors, pretended to turn on the radio, and even made sound effects. Then, the glovebox dropped open.

Inside was a tinny wallet. It couldn't possibly hold that much money. Gently, Party grabbed the wallet and opened it up. A sleeve of pictures dropped out of the wallet. Wide-eyed, Party examined the photos.

Shock was in all of them, and next to her was a familiar man : Dr. D. It showed her from a young child to what looked like her age now. She was smiling a huge, ridiculous smile in all of the photos. She looked so happy, so genuine. But how come Dr. D never told them about her? Party pondered for a little bit, but his thoughts were interrupted when he felt a hand grasp his shoulder. He jumped and dropped the wallet on the ground. He whipped his head around and let out a deep breath. It was only Shock.

"Dammit, Shock, you scared me," he said, a smile spreading across his face.

She smiled back. "Sorry. Let me pick that up for you." Shock bent down to pick up the wallet. Party tensed up. Would she be mad that he was looking through her things? He certainly hoped not.

Shock stood up, tears brimming I her eyes. Party really messed up this time, and there was no coming back from that. She looked him in the eyes. She was holding back something, some sort of monster. "What have you done?" She whimpered.

"I'm sorry I didn't know-"

"You don't understand!" We're in danger now all because of you!" She shouted, tears streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry, okay!" Party yelled. Shock just looked at him. Cautiously, Party gave her a hug. Shock leaned into him, sobbing.

"You don't understand. You will never understand," she repeated into his ear.

Party could feel Shock tense up beneath him. She was studying herself, like she was going to fight. Party didn't want to fight Shock, but it was the only thing he could do to defend himself. Slowly, he raised his gun to her head.

"Listen. I don't want trouble. Just calm down already. It's no big deal."

" Put the gun down."

" Then relax."

"Just put the gun down."

" Not until you tell me what you were doing in Battery City, or how you know Dr. D."

"Listen, Party. Right now, I could easily snap your neck and you would never know what was coming, so I suggest you put the gun down." Stunned, Party lowered the gun. "Good," Shock said, looking Party in the eye, "Now you need to listen to me. Listen to me."

And Party's world went black.
