[Jacob]

*Setting: They sat on a small tree stump, its rings showing its lifespan until the industrialists had came. Thousands of other tree stumps littered the horizon. She sat next to her lover, her legs crossed as she stared at the sky, watching as the clouds slowly moved across the pale blue surface that seemed like the Heavens sea. Alexie sighed and took a pistol from the back of his trousers and cocked it, looking at it with intense curiosity.*

Alexie: "I wonder who thought up the idea..."

He turned it around in his hand, looking at the trigger, at the nozel and at the sleekness that was the handle. Midian turned her head to him. She was dressed in Silk, it was the shade of lilac and wrapped around her body loosely. He was dressed in the same clothes as the night they took the lives of the troops.

Midian: "For what...?"

Alexie: "Guns...weapons...I wonder why people couldn't just get along."

Midian rose to her feet and moved around to stand infront of him, she stroked the right side of his face and tilted his head upwards.

Midian: "It doesn't work like that, we have to fight...to kill...its our nature. In everythings nature. We cant stop that..."

Alexie tilted his head downwards, sniggering bitterly.

Alexie: "You sound like one of them, thats what they always say...their excuse. But there is no excuse anymore..."

A tear ran down his left cheek, but he quickly brought up his right, gloved hand and wiped it away. He then stood up and took a few steps away from Midian, clutching the gun tightly.

Alexie: "I hate what they do to us, what they do to children who are different or who dont fall into their category of a "normal" Orkhid..."

She stepped up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head upon his back. Her fingers interlinked.

Midian: "Dont worry, we'll stop it...We'll let them go. Nothing can stop us, nothing."

A low rumble from Alexie's stomach reminded them of food. She unlinked her fingers and began to move to the front of him again. She caressed his neck, upon doing so crackling was emitted and small flickers of electricity could be seen coming from her finger tips and running along his skin. It sent goosebumps running across his whole body and he smiled, she smiled too. She liked making him happier, even if she did it in means which weren't exactly natural.

Midian: "We have to eat if we're gonna do what we're gonna do. The nearest city is a couple of miles West, we can be there by nightfall if we set off now...How about it?"

He nodded and replaced the gun. He then grasped her hand, their fingers interlinking and headed West, towards Liel...
