Acronix grinned before he turned on his metal heals and walked off. Krux teared up before he curled up his legs. "No wonder why mother wore that necklace...she knew that...that demon would take over..." he muttered, before he now realized what he had to do. "Zena! Wake up! Please!" He quickly said in a panic.
Now...
[Now its Krux's side of things-? :0]
Its been a few hours. No one to talk to, and surely enough with nothing to really eat or drink. Krux mouth was dry, and he was very sleepy. But he didn't want to fall asleep. He was too stubborn to fall asleep anyways. "Dammit woman....wake up..." he muttered, but it was no use. She wasn't human, so she wouldn't exactly respond or wake up by noise as easily. Or merely at all.
He blinked a few times, letting out a small yawn. "Dammit.." he muttered, slumping downward as there was not much he can move from. His eyes gotten heavier by the second, he tried staying awake.. but it all came to darkness in matter of seconds.
He woke up abrutly from a small nightmare he had, tears poured down his face as his breathing was unsettled. "A..Acronix..." he called out in a weak voice, almost sounding like he was going to cry. "Oh god...this is...this is all my f..fault.." he managed to say before he started to cry. Not even noticing someone jacking with his chains, he ended up falling forward into the ground. Making him loose his breath rather quickly.
"W..wha-" "shh.. dont say a word.." Zena said quietly. He looked at her with puffy eyes, though he looked away. Trying to not show how weak he was. "Oh come on...everyone has a weakness. You seriously don't need to hide it from me. I know enough about you as it is." She muttered quietly before she helped him up. "W..why are you even h..helping me..?" He asked, which made her frown.
"Because I have a heart...and that you still have one through the wall you have." She said as she poked him in the chest. "You know...you need to let things go...it was not the alliance that killed your parents...nor that started the war. You have to realize it was the snakes. But they are gone-". "yeah but you didn't come home to see them dead!" He barked. She frowned. "I watched my father passed TWICE Krux. Do you really think youre the only one suffering? Did you think about how your TWIN feels about this? Acronix could possibly just disban and not think of you as a brother anymore due to this shit."
Zena coldly said, which made krux silent. "Theres already blood in the water.. dont make the red sea." She muttered before she began walking away. Krux just stood there. Not caring if she left him alone. He darted his eyes to the floor. "They allowed the war to continue, because they had no idea what to do to even stop them." He muttered to himself.
He looked beside him, but notice Cyrus was gone. Panicking, he quickly searched around for him. "Shit..shit shit SHIT! Borg where are you?!" He called out as he walked around the swamp after finally leaving the dome. Though it was so dark out. He lightly stepped on the old and weary planks. Careful not to drop in. "He has to be at the prison cells... there's no other place he could be.." he muttered to himself. Hating the creaking sound the planks made.
He lightly tested the grassy ground, finding it solid enough for him to walk on. Once he finally was off the planks, he walked down the faint path to the holding cells. Though getting terrible memories. Which was enough for him to start crying. "Its that...things fault...its all that things fucking fault.." he muttered as he walked. Trying to calm himself down. But it was no use at all. He had to make himself stop to try to calm down.
But no luck, he ended up sitting on the ground. Breath highly unsteady, even his sobs was hung quite a few times in his throat. He jolted when someone wrapped their arms around him, about to punch the person, he stopped to see Acronix. He lowered his arm slowly. "A..Acronix..?" He muttered. "Really think that you could of escaped that easily?" Acronix whispered, before he could do anything, Krux had no choice but to push him away. Even with his current unstable state, he got up and made a run for it.
He knew the swamps better than Acronix. Even that thing that possessed him doesn't even know fully of secret areas and doors. Luckily there was one in the bushes that he had to put to loose anyone who chases him. For instance cops that managed to find this place or him here.
He jumped into the nearest bush after he heard metal footsteps trailing behind. Making his way through it quietly, he uncovered just barely part of a grassy hatch and opened it. Slipping in, he made sure it was closed and locked before he lit a torch. Not caring with the spiders that now lived in the tunnel. He burned anything in his way as he made it through the tunnel. The tunnel itself was damp and cold, but he was use to it. He rather prefer this than be up top with something that wasnt his younger twin.
A few times he nearly slipped on the silky mud, which he was thankful to catch onto a few thick branches. Eventually making to the other hatch, pushing it open after extinguishing the fire. He hoisted himself out. Taking a few deep breaths of air. Seeming that focused on escaping had him calmed down from his attack just before. He exhaled a bit before he began walking again through the extremely tall buishes.
He made it to a isolated area and inside the small shack. It being decked out in old artifacts and newspapers of his parents. Even some passed down stuff from his and his twins youth. This was his happy place. He turned on the small lantern above, a golden glow lighten up the room better. He smiled softly at the room before he walked to a small case. Where he has two very special items in it. A monical and a choker with a gear on it.
He unlocked the case and took the choker out. Knowing very well if he puts this on Acronix now, the thing will go straight back to him. "Its a risk im taking... if I can control myself long enough...i could get him to cyrus and get them both out before it has a chance.." he talked to himself pratically. "My little brother loves him...i can't take that away from him...but i can't let cyrus borg take my brother away from me...am I really ready...to let him go like this..?" He trailed off.
Tears pricked his eyes, his lip quivered. He bit his lip and shook his head. Closing the case and locking it. He took a good look around the room, before he smiled faintly for a brief moment. He turned on his heals and walked out. Closing the wooden door behind him. He snuck to the holding cells, which thankfully Acronix was not around. Must be still looking for him in the bushes. He went inside, to his luck, cyrus was there behind bars.
"You! W-what are you doing here?! Did you brainwash Acronix to take me here?!" Cyrus already argued. Krux didnt want to listen to this. "Shut up borg. One thing you need to know is that is not my little brother, there's this corruption called TC [time corruption for short], which is a being that you cannot fuck around with. I got no time to get into detail-" krux was nearly interupted by borg before he gave him a sharp glare.
"No, let me speak! I have our mothers necklace to control the thing. But it will come back to me in no time. You have to get Acronix and yourself out of here before it notices you two are gone. I don't want you two lingering around here any longer after I get this on him. Don't come back for me." He strictly instructed. Cyrus had no idea what to say now, but he nodded. Krux opened the door to the cell with ease from a picklock.
"No wonder why my brother likes you..." Cyrus barely even heard what krux said. Now looking at him shocked. "He...still likes me..?" He muttered. Krux looked at him with a raised brow before he sighed. He tossed a small box to Cyrus, but never stayed around to see the reaction.
It was time for TC to leave Acronix...
