Nobody burns quite as bright-- [ closed/incomplete]
Characters: Lavi [ seaoflames ], Rhode Kamelot [ suchselfishness ], later Allen Walker [ myheartmypath ] and perhaps Kanda [ kandescence ]
Location: The roof of Casualty Commons
Rating: PG-13 to R for violence
Time: Day 20, Afternoon
Description: After Kanda and Lavi execute an ambush to catch themselves a Noah, Lavi takes their catch somewhere she can't cry for help for a lesson in all-too-human pain.
WARNING for violence and throwing up.
It felt like an eternity of stairs and threats before he finally pushed a door open, sudden bright light blinding her as they were suddenly on even ground. Rhode was sure he was going to cut her throat open then and there, but suddenly she was slamming to the ground, hitting her knees hard. It was burning hot, painfully so, but before she could rise to her feet bile was burning the back of her throat. Staggering and catching herself on her hands, she felt herself throwing up for the first time in decades. All the food she'd eaten in Kuroro's apartment came up, stomach twisting with nerves and the aftermath of the fist Lavi had slammed into her stomach.
Coughing and wretching, Rhode suddenly felt dizzy, shaking before she spat up the last of anything she'd had in her stomach. Dry wretches were more painful than she remembered, being this weak was painful. And he was going to kill her like this, let her die in her own filth like she'd killed so many humans at home. But here- Oh, God, she didn't have her powers here. So many years of fighting, and it was going to end like this?
If he didn't kill her now, she'd fight back. She just needed-
A moment.
Rhode heaved, shuddering as her body tried to throw up nothing. This was pathetic.
