[Tragedy]
Act 1
Scene 3
Voices? He could hear voices?
Rion lay on his back on what felt like a cot or bed of some kind. He lay still and didn�t open his eyes, simple listened to whoever it was.
Two men, he guessed from their voices. One�s voice was deeper than the other�s though the softer one spoke a bit louder. He also guessed, from the sound of his voice, that the louder one was also younger.
�You don�t even know who that is!� The older boy hissed, apparently trying to keep his voice low. The tone in his voice showed that he was a little angry.
�So what? He got attacked by one of those big red things! Like I was just gonna let the thing eat him!� The younger one shot back.
Big red thing? The Arabesque? So the loud boy had been the one who�d helped him?
�We don�t know who he is,� The older boy sounded calmer this time, �If��
�Who cares?!� he was interrupted by the loud boy, �A person�s a person, right? It doesn�t matter� Would you have liked it better if I did nothing and let that stupid thing munch on the guy�s head?!�
�I didn�t say��
�Look, Chien, I don�t really care, kay? If I get yelled at later, I�ll just get yelled at.�
Chien? Wasn�t that one of the names on the list?
�Do what you want, just don�t try and whine to me if you get in trouble. I won�t bale you out this time.�
�No problem! I won�t get in trouble. You don�t think I�ll get in trouble �er anything, do ya? Fleur?�
There was a period of silence.
�Yeah. You agree with me, don�t ya?�
Fleur� Another name from the list. He knew then that there was a chance they would side with him since one of them had helped him while he was a complete stranger. However, he was still a little confused�
�I�ll check on you later, alright?�
Footsteps, the sound of a door opening and then closing softly.
Rion heard someone sigh loudly and walk around the room, mumbling things he couldn�t really understand very clearly.
�Hey, mister?�
Rion heard the footsteps come towards him, �I know you�re awake.�
Rion hesitated a moment then opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
It was the louder boy he�d heard earlier. He looked about Rion�s age, maybe a little older. He reminded Rion a little of Birdman�one of his eyes was a yellow or gold-ish color. His hair was just above his shoulders and looked as if it had been dyed red once and then forgotten, leaving the top part of his hair a brownish color while the bottom half was still a bright red.
He also had some kind of metallic looking collar around his neck and wrists. He tugged at one around his wrist as he smiled a little and asked, �You okay? I mean, it looked like that thing hit ya kinda hard.�
�I�m�fine�� Rion said quietly, looking around the room.
There was a girl sitting in a chair a few feet away from them. She was looking at them, expressionless, her eyes void of any possible feeling. Rion guessed she was Fleur, leaving the boy who�d already left as Chien.
�That�s great! I�m glad yer all right now. You got a name?� The boy asked, stuffing his hands into the pockets of his hooded shirt.
Rion looked back at him, remaining silent for a moment, �Rion�I�m Rion Steiner.�
�Cool name,� The boy smiled, �I�m Night and that�s Fleur,� He gestured towards the girl in the chair, �She doesn�t like to talk much but she�s a good listener. She�s cool. If ya need help, just ask her.� Night smiled again, �So, what�re ya doing out here anyway? It�s kinda dangerous, y�know��
Rion nodded slowly but didn�t say anything.
�Yer not lost, are ya? Are ya looking for something? I mean everything out here it like rundown, but hey,� Night began to rock back and forth on his heels, � Cept for maybe that one building�But I�m not really sure��
Rion nodded again.
�You don�t talk much, do you?� Night asked, standing still for a moment.
Rion didn�t answer.
�Whatever,� Night sighed, �Look�I�ve got stuff I�ve gotta do. I�ll get hell if I don�t get it all done by the time Needles gets back!� He looked back at the girl and smiled, �Fleur, do ya think you can watch Rion for me? Help him out if he needs anything?�
Fleur looked over at him, still basically expressionless, but somehow the expression in her eyes seemed to change.
�That means yes,� Night said, smiling as he looked back at Rion, �So, you can just ask Fleur if ya want something. We don�t have much though�This isn�t a hotel, y�know.�
Night shrugged and headed towards a door to his left in the back of the room, �So, I guess I�ll see y�all later!� He smiled back at them before disappearing through the doorway. The clicking sound the door made as it shut echoed through the now silent area.
