Just Run [Cass; Blitz]

[Deleted]

Indrazane Maynard was like a child in many ways.

One couldn’t really see it from the outside. I mean, sure; those bright blue eyes had a defined flare of curiosity, her voice did seem to have a bit of a light-hearted tone to it, and she seemed to fidget quite a bit more than anyone else of her age. Still, she was tall and lean, with wavy blond hair and a young face that screamed “teenager.” She was obviously no less than seventeen just by appearance.

Nevertheless, Indrazane was running a race that she had no chance of winning. Truth was, Indrazane just wasn’t fast enough. She couldn’t catch up to the pace of everyone else. She wanted to, but she just couldn’t push herself any farther. Was she really meant to? Maybe that was it: maybe she was supposed to fall back. Maybe she was only made to set the minimum bar-line, to emphasize the strengths of everyone else, to give them something to laugh at.

Blinded by ignorance, Indrazane had built her life around a fantasy. And now here she was, forced to face reality. A job: that's what she needed.

Indrazane was standing in front of a factory, the one her brother had recommended to her. He said he had gotten her a job there. Standing at the entrance, Indrazane had to admit, she was frightened. She knew she would fail; she always failed. She wasn't fit for this District.

Debating on whether or not to go in, Indrazane sighed. Then, she took a run for it, full-speed, too afraid to face her fears.

Surge hated it when people told him he was wrong especially when it was part of his most favourite thing to do, invent. He glares at the customer in front of him. She just had to open her mouth and keep complaining no matter what he said. He had told her that he was doing what he knew was right, but no she didn’t think so. He had had enough, getting up he storms out and heads down the street, to cool off. It was quiet and peaceful, so you couldn’t blame surge when he jumped, as soon as a girl appeared out of nowhere.

Indrazane was running for her life. Why? Because she didn't want to get in trouble with her father. She could just see his face right now. I'm upset with you, Indrazane. Worried, Indrazane spotted a small shop...and a boy standing in front. She noticed he was a worker right away, so she quickly grabbed him by the shirt and ran inside. "I need a place to hide," she said unsteadily. She quickly threw herself behind the counter, curling up into a ball, not caring what anyone thought. She just needed to escape the feelings that seemed to be overcoming her. This didn't seem to be the perfect place, but it would work.

“I need a place to hide”

Surge stares at the girl, so he didn’t care. He looks her up and down, she looks scruffy and scared? No he couldn’t tell weather it was fear or fury, he had never been able to read people in all his life he couldn't do it to save his life. Surge still bubbled with anger, but soon some of his old personality came back. He looks at the girl again, who appeared to be getting quiet impatient.

Reaching out he grabs her arm and tugs her into his little shop, well his fathers. It was a blacksmith a little shop in district three that made wepons for the peacekeepers and repaired little things. The lady had disappeared which pleased Surge. he lets go of the girls arm. "You can stay here."

[Deleted]

Indrazane was a coward. Oh yes, she definitely was. Too afraid to go home and face her father, too afraid to see the look on his face when he realized she chickened out: that's what Indrazane was afraid of, a reaction. It was a miracle that the boy told her she could hide in there. She wasn't even sure if she was serious. She still wondered what her father would say, what anyone would say. Still curled up in a tight ball like a small child behind the counter, Indrazane looked up at the boy. "Indrazane," she said. "What's your name?" Her eyes were glowing with youth; she wasn't seventeen. She was seven again.

Surge looks at the girl, who suddenly had become quiet friendly. The girl offers her name to him and he looks at her skeptically before answering her with his name, "The names Surge." he looks her over which has seemed to become a habbit of his. He was curious to know why she was running. "why you running and hiding?" He blurts out. He red flush creeps onto his chheeks, that was rude of him. He sighs, he wasn't going to take it back, he wanted to know. He turns around dusting the bench waiting for her to reply, he hoped she would.

[Deleted]

Indrazane twiddled her fingers a bit, troubled on what to say. Why did this boy want to know? She understood his curiosity, but still. She wasn't sure she wanted to say. It was embarrassing. She was, by far, the most ridiculous person in the district. District 3: one of the most productive of all districts, and she didn't even know how to use a hammer right. "Let's just say...I'm a coward. I'm a filthy scared coward, afraid of everything and anything." Her face was red with boy irritation and humiliation. She wanted to break into tears; Indrazane was definitely extremely troubled. She just didn't know what to do with herself anymore. Letting out one large huff, she waited for the boy's response.

Surge watchs as the girl twiddles her fingers."Let's just say...I'm a coward. I'm a filthy scared coward, afraid of everything and anything." Surge gaped at the girl, he had not asked for that much, he didn't understand why the girl had told him all of that. he was surprised as well as shocked at this. He looks down at his feet he wasn't sure what to say. "Every one has the right to be scared, it just depend son whatyou do about it." Surge raises his eyes to meet the girl. He wanted to help her she reminded him of his cousin.

[Deleted]

Indrazane looked up at the boy, suddenly caught up in his eyes. He seemed sweet: the kind of sweet she liked, not that she was making assumptions or anything. She felt a smile slowly creeping onto her face. Surge was his name: what a handsome name. This is what seemed to happen every time Indrazane fell for someone. She would really fall: like, as in lose herself. "You know," she whispered. "Your eyes are very pretty." The moment the words escaped from her mouth, Indrazane regretted them. What was she saying? Was she insane? She stood up quickly. "Err....maybe I should just leave." Clumsily, she tried to move past him, but tripped. "Sorry," she muttered, high-pitched.

My eyes, what did they have to do with the converstaion? Surge blinks surprised at the sudden change of subject. He was also a little creeped out at the way the girl leaned forward and stared more intently into his face. Surge stumbles back creeped out by her closeness, and examination of him. "Er.. it... it is alright... I gues," he stutters, he was at at total lackof words. This girl was worrying him, maybe it had been a bad idea inviting her into his shop, now she knew where he worked! Surge was panicking and that was not good for him, he did bad things when he panicked.

[Deleted]

Indrazane noticed that Surge was feeling a bit awkward by now. She felt bad; she didn't want to make him feel that way, although she had to admit, he was pretty cute. Cute? What was she saying? She was hiding in some random kid's shop, thinking about how cute he was? This wasn't right. "Err, sorry. Uh, do you possibly have any place I can stay? I...I don't think my dad would like it much if I went home. Please?" Oblivious to the fact that it was probably rude to straight out ask a stranger if you could stay at their house, she knew she really wanted it. She needed it. She was too afraid to go home. She hoped that Surge would say yes. It was far-fetched, but who knew? There was a chance: a definite chance.

[cass]

"Errr..." he paused thinking, he didn't know if it was agood idea, she could be a murderer fo all he knew, but he couldn't let her go out there ever. He sighs, sometimes you had do stuff you didn't like. "OK, you can stay, but you have to stay in here, no where else." He didn't care if the girl wasn't happy she had asked to stay and he had agreed, it was her choice. Surge moves around the counter slowly packing his equipment up, he was tired and flustered and there was soo much to worry about, he know had an added problem.

[Deleted]

Indrazane smiled. He had actually said yes. She loosened up a bit, awestruck at the fact that some one may actually care. Did he care? Did he really? Wide-eyed, Indrazane looked up at him. She watched as he packed his equiptment up; was he leaving? "Are you going to be staying here?" She asked innocently. She hoped he would. She liked this boy...a lot. "It could be like...a sleepover!" Indrazane started biting her nails; she was nervous. Maybe this boy didn't like her at all. Maybe she was just getting annoying. However, she couldn't ignore what her heart was telling her: she liked Surge.

[cass]

Surge puts a smile on his gas as he stops and realizes he had been walking backwards with each of the girls words. She was really starting to scare the poor guy who had done nothing, but help her. Surge was sadly regretting helping her and mostly positively regretted letting her stay. He was relieved however that he did not have to stay in the forge to tonight with the girl. " ummm no I'm going to my room in our house since that is we're generally I smell at night." he looks the girl over noticing for the fort time hat she was actuall very pretty. She had a very nice structure and beautiful eyes that shone when she looked at him, although that is also a little creepy since they have only just meet.

[Deleted]

Indrazane flashed him a small smile. "Oh, okay then. That's fine." Taking a few second break, she found something new to say. "I'm...sorry if I'm coming across as rude or anything. Maybe it's time I go home." Honestly, she was being silly. Her dad wouldn't kill her if she went home: sure, he'd be upset, but she'd survive. She just had to face her fears. She stood up, urging herself to leave. But she couldn't. She wanted to stay. "Maybe...maybe you could walk me home? I mean, it is quite dark outside and I don't want to get lost." She wanted to know this boy, she wanted him to know her. Honestly, Indrazane got attached much too early on, much too ignorantly; although it made her feel good.
