The Necklace (Lex, Angra if he sees fit)

[Darts]

Dear Angra

As I am sure you are aware, I haven’t actually passed on the necklace yet. This is because of one reason. HOMEWORK MAN, JESUS CHRIST, IT ALMOST PUT ME IN A COMA. So today is the day I will pass on the necklace. Hope your gonna have fun once she is wearing, it. I know I will.

Shortness of the letter does not matter

People say that the never-ending chain is the reason for all existence. If you do one thing, it will inevitably lead back to you and affect you in some way. Others believe the same but believe the chain can be broken. However, breaking the chain will resolve in the demise of anyone connected to it. Therefore people believe that it is to always believe in the chain and to never forget about the famous saying, “what goes around comes around.”

Throughout the world, there are the few who do not believe in the chain or believe they can get around it. The criminals, murderers and all the people in that category will usually believe this. But there are some who believe in the breaking of the chain without the demise of all. In fact, Darts believes that the breaking of the almighty chain will lead to almighty power. Yet, in order to gain more power, one must have power to begin with. Thus the reason in why Darts is about to do what he is about to do.

Darts woke up with his face down on his desk. The necklace in which he promised Angra he would give to Lex was in his right hand. As Darts stood up and stretched a bit he opened the door to his room and walked out into the corridor. He wrote a letter to Lexandra to meet Darts at the entrance to the school sometime around the evening. Darts didn’t care when she showed up as he could wait for a long time if necessary. Walking to the entrance, Darts thought back to when he and Angra first met. It was rather fast paced and they quickly came up with this plan out of nowhere. But it was a good plan and it would have a good affect for both of them.

Darts smirked.

[Lexandra]

Lexi walked through the halls of the academy. Her hair was up as per normal and her jeans were blue but instead of a black shirt today she wore a soft sky blue long sleeve collared shirt. It hugged her slight frame just right accenting her bust that was opened to the air just slightly as the top two buttons on her shirt were undone. She had a date with Xavier later and right now she had to go meet Darts.

He had asked her to meet him this evening. Well hell what a freakin' way to give a girl a time and place. I mean really did he not realize that the evening spanded from 5pm to 9 pm that was four hours and she was sure as hell not going to wait for him that long. Screw that crap right now. Hell no. She would wait ten minutes tops. That was it. She had better crap to be going onto.

She rounded the stairs her crossbow at her hip as always one quiver loaded and ready. You never knew when you would need an arrow. It was nice to carry your arsenal with you. She came down the stairs and saw him waiting. He had some kind of smug look on his face and she wondered just what in the bloody hell this was all about. Coming up in front of him as hot as ever before she looked into his eyes.

"What's up?" she asked not with the most friendly sort of tones but then again this is Lexi we're talking about. She doesn't do friends.

[Darts]

Darts looked at Lex for a moment as she stared at him. She asked a simple question. What is up is a simple statement used to ask a person or persons about how there life is, what have they been doing, and what they wanted at this moment on certain cases. But as Darts looked at her and felt the blood warm in his body and he felt his adrenaline pump, all he could do was smirk and begin to talk as he stood up.

“Nothing is up Lexandra.” He said in a serious voice. “Nothing special, nothing interesting. I met a new friend but as of now, I must say you probably don’t know him, unless you do in which case I am wrong. It doesn’t matter who he is or what he wants but he is a new ally of mine and he is helping me out here. He knows of my predicament and gave me a good way to deal with it. He knows of how I feel about you. I wouldn’t use the word felt because those feelings aren’t completely gone. This isn’t important now however. What is important however is this gift in which my acquaintance believed would be a good gift for you. And allow me to say I agree.”

Darts turned around and opened a package in his hand. He took out the necklace and showed it to Lexandra. With a smirk on his face he looked in her eyes and handed it to her. He then looked up as Dusk landed on his shoulder after a long flight outside.

“Don’t mind him Lexandra, you have already met. But what I really want to talk about right now is that necklace. I want you to try it on if you would be so kind. You see Lexandra; it is to show my feelings towards you. I don’t expect you to change your feelings towards Xav (yet) but I do want you to know how I feel (Evil). But if you would be so kind, could you please try it on.”

Smirk

[Lexandra]

Lexandra?

No one hardly used her full name even Xavier rarely. Good thing he didn't know her FULL real name or he probably would have used that too. It was crazy. But perhaps he was trying to tell her something. She crossed her arms under her bust as she always did and listened to him.

He talked about meeting a new friend. One that she didn't know. She shrugged okay the academy was huge it was obvious she wouldn't know everyone next subject. But no.. his rambling had found no end just yet.. She sighed as he told her that the info he just gave her was unimportant.

Then why the hell did you just spend the last few mintues telling me about it. Geez what a waste of time and energy. Really! She heard that he told this new friend, the unimportant one if you recall, that he had feelings for her. Well that was new. He had kissed her in the street before he even knew her name and he got an arrow for that. But when had he developed feelings for her. He didn't even know her except that she was a good shot and had a bad attitude.

So she waited. This unimportant friend, the one that seems to be coming up an awful lot in the coversation. Apparently picked out a gift for her. If she meant so much why didn't Dartyboy here pick out his own gift. He turned and opened a small box where a necklace lay. It wasn't the best necklace in the world but it was average craftsmanship. She took it from his hand and lay it across her palm as she looked down at it.

He asked her to try it on and she looked up at him her hazel eyes looking him over. She raised her right brown that was black as midnight and closed her hand over the necklace taking his hand she softly put the necklace back in his hand.

"Look, I can't take this. I don't know what your feelings are for me but I can assure you that you don't know me. You know nothing about me. I am not who you think I am. Hell I don't even know everything about myself. I'm sorry, but.. I can't. It's not for me to take. Save it. You'll find the right girl." she said with a very unlexi like wink.

"See you soon." she said with a wave as she headed back to the stairs. She began walking up them with her hands in her pockets. It was time to go do the things she needed to get done today.

[Darts]

Damn

She didn’t wear it. It would be harder than expected to get it on her. The last resort would be to force it but Darts didn’t want to do that. How could he get it on her? She was stubborn for sure but she would have to break sooner or later. What could Darts do? He promised Angra to get this damn necklace on Lexandra before it was to late. Darts caught up to Lex.

“Lexandra wait. I don’t mind if you don’t share m feelings. You don’t have to share my feelings in the matter but his gift isn’t about those feelings. It is just a gift I want you to have. You don’t even have to like me, as you seem not to be so fond. But this necklace is just something I need from you. S even if you wore it just once for just one second...would you do it just...for me?

You are full of it.

Yeah, but chances are it will work.

It may.

Darts looked at lex and just wanted her to believe him so that he could get this ball rolling.

[Lexandra]

She started up the stairs as she heard her name called again. It was Darty of course because there was no one else it would be. She turned on her booted heal and tilted her head to the side her black bangs moving in the light for a moment.

"Yep?" she asked.

She had changed a bit truthfully. Just a bit though. She was still the sarcastic Lexi that was easy to anger and easy to piss off. And pissed off or paranoid was not the Lexi you wanted after you. She listened as he told her the necklace wasn't about his feelings and her brows furrowed.

Well that the hell was it about if it wasn't about his feelings. So now he was chaning his freaking story. She shifted her feet and crossed her arms over her chest as she listened more. This necklace is something I need from you? What the bloody hell. Only wear it for a second? What the fu..

Before he could blink she had drawn her boy and pointed it at his shoulder. POP. He flew back with the grappling shot into the wall. She pointed at the other shoulder. POP. Again stuck to the wall as the metal hooks popped out from the arrow and imbedded him to the wall through his shoulder. Tucking Shadow away she grinned as she pulled out her dagger and lifted the necklace out of his hand.

"I don't know what plans you had with this, but I don't think they include me jerkboy. Because for one thing I'm not an idiot. For two you shouldn't have pushed this shit on me because it only makes me wonder what its going to do. And three you're an idiot Darty."

Taking Shadow she grabbed another arrow and put the necklace around it using her Dagger so she wouldn't have to touch it. She shot it up out the window and with a wink she turned and headed up the stairs.

"Good luck with life Darty." she said coldly as she bounded up them. What an ASS!

[Darts]

“Hah. You are a feisty one Lexandra.” Darts yelled in an evil, loud and sadistic tone. “You were right about that necklace and you were right to get rid of it as you did. But believe me, I am a changed man, and someday soon, when you are bloody and on your knees, begging for mercy, just realize something...MERCY won’t come!”

Darts laughed as he took one of the shields of his side. He then cut the ends of the arrows close to his shoulders and began to push himself forward and felt the pain of the rest of the shaft leave his upper body. He felt the blood trickle down his arms and realized that h now truly hated, and was now truly ready to kill. He wasn’t going to kill now, but he was in fact ready. Darts then began to speak to Lex in a now calmer tone.

“I guess there is no choice now Lexandra. You can leave today but this won’t be our last encounter. I told you I had feelings for you. But I never stated what those feeling were. They are hate and disgust and I do in fact hope you feel the same way about me, as it will make the last day we meet so much easier. The day when I am ready to kill you! See you soon Lexandra.”

With that, darts walked off. He had to go get some disinfectant and bandages form the recovery wing then locate Angra to tell him that the plan didn’t go as well as hoped. Also, that Darts was ready to really get going.

[Lexandra]

Lexi heard her name along with what she thought was a compliment. She turned on her heal yet again. Didn't that ass know when to leave her the hell alone. Now she was really getting pissed. He confirmed her suspicions about the necklace and she began heading back down the stairs. She checked her quiver and grinned. Plenty.

She looked over at him as he cut himself loose and began talking about how he was going to meet her again and when she was broken and bloody he was going to give her no mercy. Pft. She didn't want mercy. Mercy were for those people that were idiots and got themselves shot in the shoulder with arrows. She tched softly and leaned against the banister rail as he finished screaming at her.

Grabbing a plain arrow she nocked it and shot it taking off one strand of his hair and letting it imbed in the wall next to his precious head. She put her crossbow down for a moment holding it at her side.

"Is that so? Well bring it on Dart Boy. I dare you. Show me what you have. Show me this lack of mercy you talk about. Or are you chicken because Lexi hurt you?" she asked tilting her head to the side.

"Come on. BRING... IT..... ON...!" she was ready to fight him right this minute. He was a chicken if he left and if he fought well.. he would lose. She was a ranged fighter and a close melee fighter she had two techniques. So bring it on ASSHOLE!
