Aureole grits his teeth and Emalia's arm as he turns around and begins to walk into the jungle once more. "This is why I don't put my life on the line for others Emalia." He says, "Because you always run into ungrateful little fuckers!" He yells that last remark loud enough so the two he just met could hear it over the rain. He smirks and shakes his head as he continues toward where their crashed ship was when suddenly, an orange glowing ball appears in the sky and begins to plummet toward the planet, "That's another ship!" Emalia yells. Aureole shakes his head, "No I think it is a meteor." He replies to her statement. She shrugs, "I don't know Aureole." her voice chimes, "It looked like a ship to me." An irritated expression falls over the pale red heads expression as he rubs each side of his head, "Why does it even matter?" He asks. Emalia's smile turns playfully sinister, "Where there is a ship, there are supplies!" She exclaims. Aureole stops and considers this, "Your right, but will you be able to find our ship?" He asks the short brown haired girl. She smiles and nods. "Lets go!" She shouts, grabbing her friends wrist and taking off in the approximate direction of the supposed ship. Aureole shook his head, once again he was doing something stupid just to make some girl her hardly knew smile.<br/>The two make their way through the dense jungle, the thick brush and the goopy muck covering the minority of the ground until finally Emalia gets tired and they decide to rest a moment. she walks over to a downed tree the width of a bus and the length of a sky scraper. she plops down upon it and sighs. Aureole sits next to her and puts his arm over her shoulders, "Whats wrong?" He asks. "Nothing, its just.. what if we never make it home Aureole?" Her eyes begin to loose their lustful happiness as she speaks her concerns to the only one around that would listen. He shakes his head, red hair not moving due to how impossibly soaked it was, "We will make it home, now come on lets get to that ship before anyone else does." He orders as he stands from the tree until her small hand grips his wrist, HE LOOKS DOWN AT HER, "What is it Em?" He asks. Her frown deepens, "Aureole...I hear you when you sleep.. I want to know now what happened to you in your past that made you this way." She explains, Aureole can tell by the serious tone of her voice that she isn't going to take no for an answer this time so he sits next to her with a sigh.. his mind replaying the tragic events while he explains them to her.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFFFFF"> Aureole, stands beside his best friend Darious as the two look over their community from atop a large sand dune in the distance. They were the head of the biggest gang in La Roche de Sable known as, Les Serpents du Desert, and they were ambitious friends. Darious, despite the temperature always wore a heavy black trench coat that concealed multiple weapons. Darious places a hand upon Aureole's shoulder as he comrade looks at him with two beautiful purple eyes, "Well Aureole, we did it.. there is no question that this town is ours." He says, his voice cold and sinister as always. Aureole smiles, "Indeed, im going to retreat home now friend.. I miss my Isabella." The two shake hands and Aureole leaves for his small house in town. As he passes through the door he is greeted by a beautiful black haired woman, "Hello my love." She says, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him, "Why good day my lovely Isabella." He playfully says as he returns the kiss and carries her into the main room. He would happily spend the rest of the day the same way he spent them all, every moment with the love of his life. The two sat in a quit living room together, just simply chatting about the days events and bitching about the heat when suddenly... everything went to hell. Bullet after bullet breaks the glass of their windows as the projectiles fly into the room. Aureole wastes no time in practically tackling Isabella to the ground, holding her so tight as bullets whiz above them... absolutely tearing up their home. After a while they hear the wheezy engine of a small starship fly away. aureole looks at her and begins to tear up, "Are you okay?" He asks. She nods, "Im ok Aureole." She assures her partner as they shakily stand up. Aureole didn't need anyone to do any snooping around to know who the shooters were, their only rival gang known as the Desert Rats. His fists begin to shake as the full realization of how close he came to loosing all that mattered in life, he knew what had to be done. <br/><br/>"Are you sure you want to do this?" The heavy accent of the Desert Rats leader echo's through the empty room the next day. Aureole sits across from him, "Yes, it is with some reluctance that I admit.. I am sure." And with that he is handed a suit case full of currency. As he stands up to leave, the gang leader stops him with a powerful question, "Might I ask why you are selling out your brothers?" Aureole is forced to stop by this simple question. Tears well up in the back of his eyes as he remembers all the time spent with Darious... since they were kids they had each others backs. A sigh escapes his lips, "I just.. I found something new in life that I realized I wanted to protect and my life style will only get her killed." He pauses and turns around, a tear falling from his left eye, "Just, for fuck sake man make sure they don't suffer and I will lead them to where we agreed upon." With that statement he exits the room. <br/><br/>"Aureole.. your worrying me whats going on?" Isabella asks. Aureole shakes his head as he could never tell her the truth, "Nothing baby, just take this brief case to the red abandoned house to blocks away and tomorrow night.. when I leave to help Darious get the money from the upcoming deal.. you go their and wait for me.. ok?" He asks.. sadly and rather reluctantly.. she nods. Aureole walks over ot her and kisses her forehead. "I love you." He whispers. "I love you so much Aureole." She replies as her hands run through his long.. soft red hair.<br/><br/>The next night, Aureole looks in the mirror as he puts on an expensive suit. “Aureole.” A woman’s voice calls behind him as he adjusts a bow tie around his neck. Her voice is lovely and full.. mature. “Yes?” Aureole says as he turns around, placing two purple eyes upon her..so beautiful with raven black hair and lovely skin. She approaches him slowly and fixes his collar. “You look great tonight.. I imagine Darious will as well.” She tells him. He smiles, kisses her on the cheek and begins to turn to leave before her grip on his collar tightens. “Aureole… what are you going to do?” She asks, fear lacing her voice. “I’m going to make a future for us Isabella… that has always been my mission.. always.” And with this phrase, he exits the room. Isabella sits on the bed, her heart is racing and tears begin to collect at the bottom of her eyes for she knew exactly what that meant. <br/><br/>“My best friend, my brother in arms.. the man I trust.” A voice calls to Aureole from the ally way next to the pub where they agreed to meet. He dawns a black trench coat, black pants and a black fedora. Aureole smiles, “Darious.” He replies as he approaches the man. Darious places a black gloved hand upon Aureole’s shoulder, “You look dashing in that tux Aureole, cloths as nice as ours are so rare to find on this god for saken planet are they not?” He says. Aureole nods in reply, “Yes they are.” He places a pale hand upon the shoulder of his friend. Darious stares into his eyes, “You seem off aureole.. what we are doing tonight is extremely important and dangerous.. can I trust you?” He asks voice cold and deadly as always. Aureole simply smiles, “You have always been able to trust and count on me Darious. Since the beginning of this endeavor we have stood shoulder to shoulder and it will always remain this way.” Aureole begins to walk up the ally way. Darious stares at him as he does so. “You had better be telling me the truth.” He thinks as he to follows his friend, both disappearing into the shadows to go meet the members of their gang that would be helping them with the drug hand off.<br/><br/>Multiple men begin to exit their town, all dressed in expensive suits and tuxedo’s as they make their way to a large sand clearing outside their community. “This deal will bring great progress to our gang.” One man says to the other. There are 10 total, one of them.. is an ambitious ginger haired man by the name of Aureole. Beside him, is the gangs leader.. Darious. There group was feared by the hole town including a smaller gang known as the desert rats, they were Les Serpents Du Desert. As they stand in the clearing, Aureole begins to look around, “Is everything ok Aureole? Surely you are not upset.. this is a day that will go down in history for if we pull this deal off.. we will have the funding to do anything.” Darious says, his hands buried into the pockets of his black trench coat. The men stand there in silence, and suddenly.. just as evening begins to arrive.. the rain begins to fall for the first time in one hundred years. They stand there, frozen in shock as the water gently slides off their black clothing and the sky turns to a dark twilight blue. Aureole pulls a small silver compass from the back pocket of his pants. When he clicks it open, instead of arrows pointing into infinity, he finds a picture of his beloved fiancé. He stares at it as he knows that the time for his plan to act is now. “Im sorry.” Aureole says, soaked from rain and sorrow for his future sins. Darious holds a grim expression as he gently cocks his automatic sub machine gun, “Why are you apologizing.. aureole.” He asks, his voice heavily bathed in sinister. Aureole need not give him an answer as suddenly two small star ships land. The windows of these star ships are smash outward, sending glass fragments into the wet sand below. Aureole takes off in a sprint towards town as bullets fly into the men he had led on. Darious returns fire as he watches the one man he truly called friend, disappear "Aureole!!" He shouts, his voice emitting sorrowful pain for the first time. <br/>Aureole does not stop running, despite the fact that the gunfire has stopped, despite the multiple explosions he hears he must keep going. He bursts through the doors of his house, his Fiance stands up in a hurry. “Aureole!” She cries terrified. “It’s ok Isabella, but we have to go now! Right now!” He yells in reply as he rushes to the closet and begins to toss out two suit cases into plain view of his beloved. “Your bleeding!” She yells. Auroele glances downward with two purple eyes at the bullet wound in his side, “No matter.” He says, “It is a small price to pay for doing what had to be done in order for you and I to have a life.” Rain drops fall from the ends of his hair, his clothing and the tip of his nose as he walks to her and hugs her. <br/>"Why you go to the house I talked about now, I will pack our stuff and meet you there." He orders as she complies and exits the house. <br/>After roughly 15 minuets he walks through his front door only to be knocked out from the side.<br/><br/>Two purple eyes open, blurred and confused. When his vision returns he realizes he is tied to a wooden chair in the center of an abandoned warehouse. Ivory light from the moon spills onto him from a large window behind his chair above the main door that soon opens. Aureole's heart races as foot steps click and clack nearer and nearer towards his position. "Aureole." The horrifyingly familiar voice sounds over the silence. Lightening cracks and Aureole can see many men of his gang with guns standing in the darkness before him. "My friend, the man I trust, my betrayer." The voice then moves in front of him, revealing a very alive Darious. "That was some plan Aureole, I kept one of the shooters alive and he told me everything, I think the only part of your plan that went wrong was me being alive and ordering your capture." Two black gloved hands lash forward, gripping Aureole's shoulders tight, "I survived." Darious growls, "But you wont." He threatens as he pulls a long slender knife from a sheathe on his leg. He grips the back of Aureole's head hard and places the edge of the knife above the defenseless mans eye and roughly drags it down. Aureole screams in pain as he feels the blade slice through the soft tissue of his eyes and drag down until it slides off his chin. Blood streams down past his shoulder until dripping to the floor below him. Darious grabs his friend chin hard, "Any words to say, aureole? Any wise ass words of wisdom for your old pal?" He sarcastically asks. Aureole simply asks him one question, "Where is Isabella?" Darious howls with laughter, "She took the money you gave her and ran! You pathetic piece of shit! Your whole plan was for nothing at all!" A hard punch is sent into the side of aureole's face, and another, and another. Finally, Darious pulls out a white pistol and aims at Aureole's head, "Good bye." He says. Bang! Aureole's eye shoots open to see Darious's upper arm gush blood. Some one had come in from behind and began opening fire. Auroele whips his body to the left in order to dodge the return fire from the gang members in the dark. The door was all the way open allowing the bright moon light to give away their positions. Aureole can hardly see who is shooting in his slumped state but he sees her... Isabella, as she dives into cover. Aureole crawls like a worm to Darious's knife, Darious had retreated into the darkness so there was no resistance to aureole as he grabs the knife behind his back and cut the rope bounding his hands. he free his legs and rolls into cover, slowly making his way to where he saw Isabella dive toward. <br/>"Why did you come here?!" He shouts to her, the only reply is a kiss followed by her sweet voice, "I love you, you would have done the same fro me!" She hands Aureole her pistol as she was using a Sub Machine Gun. It is a raven black pistol that caught the light perfectly in its ebony shine. The two rain bullets upon the gang members flawlessly as their talent for killing exceeded their opponents every time. In a few minuets the gun fire stops... Isabella helps Aureole from his position, which was against a crate so he could effectively shoot, and the two begin to leave. Suddenly, a man dressed in all black tackles Aureole. Darious begins to beat his former friend hard befor Isabella pulls him off. Darious throws a punch toward her face that she duck and returns with a fair kick to his stomach. He stumbles backward a moments into Aureole's arms. He holds Darious in place as Isabella swings wildly at his head. Aureole was shocked.. Darious was always a flawless fighter. His thoughts are interrupted when he is launched over the mans shoulders and stomped repeatedly. Isabella tried to help but is stopped when Darious flies forward, knocking her back, he picks up the knife.. "No!" Aurole screams in pure fear as he runs faster than he ever has before.. to late.. he watches in horror as Isabella's throat is slashed. He tackles Darious hard as the two slam into the ground. Angered punch after angered punch fly into Darious's face. Aureole does not stop the blows, even when blood begins to fly in all directions and Darious is no longer recognizable. Finally he stops and rushes over to Isabella whom is lifeless on the ground. He just keeps gently shaking her.. calling her name, "Please! We have to go! Wake up!" He would continuously yells over the roar of the rain outside. "Isabella don't go... please.. I need you so bad baby please don't no no no no no." There is no response.. she bled out to fast. all he can do is bury his face in her black hair and cry until he collapses.. unable to kill himself as he could not shake the conviction that she wouldn't want that. </span><br/><br/>Aureole finishes his tragic story with tears in his eyes.. accepting Emalia's hug. "Im really sorry Aureole." She says. He shakes his head, "Don't be, it was all one hundred percent my fault, and I want to hear no more of the subject." He orders as the two continue to their destination.
