This Shouldn't Be Happening! [Fish]

The sound of slow music could be heard throughout the platform island that was the Sand Viper hide out, but all else was dead still. Towards the center of the floating mass, a larger building could be seen, and it was only in this building that any movement seemed to be active. Just outside the building, a white haired young teen could be seen leaning on the door. Skye bit her lip feeling trying to fight down the nervous feelings that were threatening to overwhelm her. It was her sixteenth birthday, and by Viper tradition, her wedding day as well as anointment day. She would never go against her father, despite how fearful it made her to be going through with this. However, even knowing this didn't help the anxious feeling that was coming to her stomach. I can do this... I can do this... Dad'll still be around, and he help me do this... She was thankful for this, and it was he who was giving her enough confidence to go through with it then and there. Pacing slowly in front of the door upon shoving herself up, she continued to wait until the proper time to go out on the stage and wait for her bride to walk down the aisle. It all felt so horribly wrong, but...but it had to be right. This was what she was born to do, and she didn't want to disappoint her father... not after her mother and Linkin had ... died.... Suddenly the music changed, and Skye quickly slipped inside passing the aisles as she went before standing up on the small platform that would be where she made her vows. This... this all felt so.... unreal. However, she caught sight of her father sitting in the front row, and somehow it all melted away. She could do this. She...she could do this. Just wait... wait for the music to change again, and soon enough she'd be married... and it would all be alright. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Part of Fang just wanted to get this over with. She hated this tradition; hated weddings, hated the suit she was wearing...Yes, Fang insisted on wearing a tux today because after her own wedding, she refused to ever wear a dress again. But maybe she just hated these things because of what happened after her own.

As Skye walked down the aisle to wait for 'his' bride, Fang reminded herself that this was her cousin's big day now. The day her future boss officially became an adult in this society. And honestly, Fang was quite proud and happy for Skye. Besides, Fang was also kind of amused that she was the 'best man' here. Sorta.

The woman's brown eyes flicked to the front row, next to Bret, where her own father sat. Next to him was her husband, Copperhead. Around the leader and second were several large and formidable bodyguards, just in case. Although...Fang couldn't help but think that something wasn't right. Diamondback and Copperhead both seemed like their minds were...elsewhere. It's probably nothing. Maybe they just hate weddings. Like me. I just support my cousin better than that.

She gave a slight nod, standing still, just as she was told, as she waited.

"Is it sad I'm nervous?" she asked weakly and rather quietly to her 'best man'. The 'preacher' who was husky looking man with a rounded jaw line, a crooked nose, and small very round spectacles that shielded his pale green eyes was as far from what normal Christians would have thought him to be, seeing as on off days, he was noted for gambling and excessive drinking. However, at the moment, he brought his hand to his lips and made a 'hush' sound that caused Skye to stand upright feeling her heart beat screaming in her ears. Relax...relax... Fang's already gotten married... it won't be bad... even if Penny is.... That woman was something else, and honestly she frightened Skye. However, she had to be the strong one. She had to be more of the man because that was what he father desired of her, and she loved her daddy. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

"Nah. I was too, honestly. At least you're getting hitched to someone kinda cute, as opposed to Meathead over there," she whispered back, then got quiet at the so-called preacher's shushing. Like the Sand Vipers even had church; they just needed someone to make the marriages.

Alright, let's do this. Wait I ain't doing anything I just get to stand here and look pretty. Fang sighed as her brown eyes again wondered back to Michael and Copperhead, who seemed to be exchanging some sort of glances between each other before looking back to the wedding at hand. What was going on....? Whatever it was, something just didn't feel right here, but the woman couldn't put her finger on it.

Alright, so it was alright to feel as... skittish about this as she did, then. Suddenly the music changed, and Skye's eyes raised up watching as - oh wow... she was pretty... -Penelope, Skye's bride, was slowly walking up the aisle. Though the girl was older than Skye, she was still not out of her teens and carried with her a youthful radiance that, though she didn't actually feel anything towards, Skye had to admire at least. A sudden rushing feeling jumped into Skye, and her eyes jumped back to Fang and then forwards again to the young woman walking up the aisle. "Here we go..." Skye whispered quiet enough that it didn't reach the preacher's ears. As Penny continued walking, a rather stern faced man followed arm in arm. Breathing in, Skye found herself intimidated by the man's stare and instead focused on Penny's face. As she was finally released and stood next to Skye, Penny flashed some expression that only caused Skye to mentally fidget before smiling weakly. With that, the preacher started to read, focusing rather hard on his book as though he might not have known what exactly he was reading, even. Bret couldn't help but feel proud at that moment. His daughter, no his son, was about to get married and take over... just as Linkin should have done. It had all come to plan, and he was more proud than he could ever put to words It was possibly because of this distraction that he didn't even look towards Michael at the moment. His eyes remained on Skyler teh entire time. How mush Skye had grown..... [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Okay yeah, Penny was easy on the eyes; despite the fact that her personality wasn't really as sweet as her looks, to say the least. Okay so once one got to know Penny, they'd find she was actually quite a bitch, but...looking at what Fang was forced to marry, the girl found herself sort of...envious. "Lucky," she whispered to her cousin. Then she got real quiet as she actually looked at Skyler and Penelope, standing like that. It was just...it was kinda touching. Wait...was that a TEAR? ...Maybe. After all, at this moment and time...that wasn't her future boss getting married; it was her baby cousin. And Fang forgot all about her suspicions. It was a wedding after all. Loosen up, right?

Wrong...One of the other Groomsmen gave a small, barely noticeable nod; the reason Michael was now so focused on the events. It was time. Copperhead reached into his tuxedo jacket, scratching his armpit--or that's what it looked like. Meanwhile, Michael pulled a gun out of the special holster he had rigged up his sleeve. Today wasn't Skye's day; it was his. He'd been planning this with his boys for far too long now. Today, he'd take what was rightfully his. The gang, the legacy, all of it.

Michael "Diamondback" Viper pressed the barrel of the gun to his older brother's head, and pulled the trigger before the man could react, and without even flinching. And for one brief moment...everything...paused as the mood drastically changed...

The sound of a bang caused red eyes to dart away quickly, and suddenly Skyler's pulse went up. What--- "DADDY!" she screeched as the man, her father, fell sideways in his seat before toppling over out of it...dead. What... no... no no no no... what was ... Skye's eyes darted around horrified and fearful, but she couldn't move, couldn't do a thing but stare in horror and fear. All the blood was draining from her face, and she just stood there in disbelief. A part of her screamed to run to his side, but another part just... just couldn't move.... MOVE DAMN IT MOVE! She couldn't. She couldn't do anything but stare as shock tears filled her eyes and blood drained from her features. This wasn't happening. This wasn't happening.... [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Fang, for once, had let her guard down. She'd been so focused on the bride and 'groom' that she didn't realize her suspicions had been justified all along. The woman felt her stomach churn as she saw her uncle fall by her father's gun, but what did it was Skye's yell. The pain was etched on her face as the younger children and some of the women started to head for the door. No...this wasn't supposed to happen. Not today, especially. Dammit first Michael ruined her wedding day now he's destroying Skye's.

Michael's face was emotionless, save for what seemed to be a twisted grin as he turned his gun to Bret's daughter. This wasn't done yet; for this to work he had to be the next one in line.

Fang came to her senses as she saw the gun trained on Skyler. It was just like Linkin; she'd admired him, looked up to him, and then he was taken away from her. Now, she and Skye had formed a bond like no other, and--no. No no no no NO. She wasn't going to lose her too. Fang refused to lose her too.

Michael pulled the trigger, but Fang sprang to action, shoving her cousin in the hopes of saving her life as her hands reached into her suit for her own guns. Fang spun, instantly aiming at Michael, and pulling the trigger not once, but three times, leaving a sort of lopsided triangle in the man's chest; had this been on the shooting range, it would have been a perfect triangle because she took joy in drawing pictures on the targets like that sometimes.

One of the bullets had pierced Diamondback's heart--because apparently he did have one, and the man slumped over next to his brother, dead. At this, Copperhead let out a cry of rage as he pulled out his own gun, but Fang turned her other pistol on him, planting a bullet right between his eyes as all hell broke loose.

Some broke for the door, others reached for their own weapons, and Fang moved so she was in front of her cousin. No. She wasn't going to lose another one; this wasn't just family or her boss. Skye was her best friend, and Fang was going to protect her with her very own life.

Her mind was not on herself but on that of her father. Her father... no... her Dad...her Daddy had just.... Suddenly red eyes flickered sideways, and Skye found herself staring down the barrel of a gun. The sound of a shot echoed in Skye's ears, but she didn't see... didn't feel anything of what had happened. It was only when she hit the ground that Skye realized she had been pushed out of the way. The bullet had missed her heart but it buried itself in her arm, and it was the pain on the wrong side of her -the side that shouldn't have hurt from a fall- that caused Skye pain. Shock tears, a mix of horror at what she had just seen and pain, rolled down her cheeks, and she simply lay there feeling increasingly weak. The world was spinning, and she wanted to tell it to stop, but it wouldn't. "W-w-why..." was all Skye managed to get out. She was fighting for consciousness but was feeling it being torn away from her. Meanwhile, all hell had broken lose. One side of the 'church' was clearly on the offensive, but those that had not been on the plan were now in a mass of confusion as to what was going on. "He killed the boss and his son! These conspirators! Kill them!" a voice roared in defiance of Michael's group. He would be loyal to Bret even after the man was dead. The man hadn't looked to see whether Skye was alive or not. At the moment, he wanted revenge for his beloved Bret by destroying this resistance. Raising a gun, he shot it at several of Michael's men. A few more with less conviction were hesitant but then quickly broke out fighting and shooting. The only thing learned that day was that everyone liked guns, apparently. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Fang kept herself in front of Skye, unloading as more fighting took its course. Some of Michael's men dropped, a few by Fang's gun, others by those loyal to Bret. Fang was seeing red, and her eyes were cold and emotionless as she fired bullet after bullet, she turned to seek more targets. But she felt an arm wrap around her as she moved.

One of the groomsmen; she'd forgotten all about the ones behind them, though all but one had split the scene by now. But there was the one; the one who'd given Michael the go-ahead signal in the first place. He was a little taller than Fang, lean, and weighed about fifty pounds more than her. His intention was to stab her in the heart, but when she felt the arm around her, she felt the blade of a knife sink into her right shoulder, up to the hilt. As a result, the pistol dropped from her hand, going off as it hit the floor.

Reaching back with her good arm and what energy she had left, she felt the barrel of her gun touch flesh, and pulled the trigger, the bullet tearing through the man's stomach and killing him. Meanwhile, Fang saw who the stray bullet from her dropped gun had hit, and her face paled. She dropped to her knees as the corpse of the man finally fell off of her, next to Skye.

Fang lay back, both out of sorrow and weakness. Her head lay on Skye's lap, as her eyes clenched tight and her chest heaved with pain. Tears rolled down Fang's face; the scene was far from her now. "Skye....Venom..." Her weak voice was almost eaten alive by the shooting. This wasn't supposed to happen...not like this...

[atrb=style,background-image:url(http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s395/malicewright/skyviper1.png);][atrb=width, 507][atrb=height, 313][atrb=style,border:0 black none,b,Table][scrolly:h(240),w(244),sy,as(padding:4px 0px 5px;margin-top:61px;margin-left:256px;color:#e4d2da;)]When the gunfire and craze had started, the first thing that had gone through Penelope's mind was 'run', and she probably would have done so had it not been for her forsaken dress that now acted as a counter weight to her normally powerful calves. She fought and figeted, actually knocking a man who had tried to grab her sideways. She'd pulled up the bulk of her dress and managed to get down, having known a good deal of shooting and that the best thing to do was to get down. However, when she caught sight of Venom, her fucking betrothed, go down, something in that somewhat crazed mind of hers snapped. Getting up, she charged towards one of Michael's men and made to tackle him with all her force weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds causing him to fall backwards. "The Boss is mine!" she hissed in a surprisingly authoritative manner. What 'Boss' she was referring to, only Penny would ever know. She would never get a chance to tell either for as soon as she was starting to get to her feet, the sound of a gun going off louder than the previous vibrated her ears. She didn't register the pain at first, but it felt like an explosion of liquid had just splashed her chest. Suddenly eyes directed themselves downwards looking straight at her heart. Eyes lost light fast, and the young bride fell backwards dead in another moment. Skye saw it. Even through her vision was blurred and distorted, she saw what had happened, and for a brief moment, her pulse stopped just as it had when she had seen her father's body fall. N-n-no! "PENNY!" she shouted in the manner that she had yelled 'Daddy' just a few seconds earlier. She had never felt for the woman was much as she had in that last few seconds, but before the full shock of what had just happened came to her, she felt Fang's body crash onto hers. Suddenly it was all quiet, and Skye felt her own head roll up to stare at the ceiling above. Her heart throbbed in her, and her stomach lurched. However, Fang's words came to her despite how much she wanted to escape the world in that very moment. "Fang... Fang I---" And suddenly a man came charging straight up towards them both wielding what appeared to be some sort of sword. However, just as he came to crack it down on the two, Skye pushed Fang sideways and forced herself up, barely getting cut again. The sword was stuck then in the floor, and the man seemed to be fighting to pull it out of the floor. Skye, however, had pulled Fang's gun away when she had separated from the girl and didn't take but a moment to aim and fire. "DON'T YOU EVER DARE THREATEN FANG AGAIN!" she screeched continuing to shoot until the last bullet had left. It was only after that that Skyler came to her senses, and suddenly she was on her knees heaving. up everything she had eaten along with red liquid that tasted something like metal. Outside, it seemed that the violence had continued. When it had actually moved out of the 'church' none were sure, but that explained the 'somewhat-silence'. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Fang let out a yelp as she found herself shoved off of Skye, then realized it was Skye who did it, and she looked just in time to see Skye unloading what was left of the pistol Fang had dropped. The fighting still rang outside, and Fang just lay on the ground with her eyes closed still. The knife handle still protruded from her shoulder, and the pain made it hard for her to move. Her body and her heart both ached right now. Her entire world had come crashing down, and the woman knew what it felt like to spill innocent blood. None of the others gave her any remorse, but Penny had done nothing wrong...No Fang couldn't stand her, but she'd never done anything worthy of being killed over...More tears streamed down her face as she lost consciousness.

Suddenly, the doors flew open, and a very large, muscular man, the clan's doctor, rushed in, followed by a smaller man, who was still quite defined despite his smaller frame. The second man was walking backwards, guns trained towards the door as the doctor moved around checking bodies, Skye was obviously alive, though vomiting.

"Looks like Venom and Fang seem to be the only two alive. But we'll need to get them out of here. Fang may not last long."

"Alright. Looks like I did good, runnin' to find ya then. Let's get 'em to Bret's place. It's closer, and prolly empty."

"You really want to take these two out into the fighting?"

"There's a back door, but I gotcha. You carry, and I'll cover."

Fang was zoning in and out of consciousness, but recognized the other voice as Austin, better known as Adder. The two of them grew up together. He was in his twenties, and he was one of the ones Fang would rough-house with as a kid. And now he was part of the duo saving her butt. A groan escaped her as the doc picked her up, carrying her in one arm as if she was a newborn baby.

Then, he moved to Skye, waiting for her to finish vomiting.

"Alright," Adder said, looking away still. "Let's get these two outta here--" He fired at someone who tried to enter, dropping them flat. "--before I run outta bullets."

"Agreed. Skyler? We're here to get you out of here."

Thus she ended up dry heaving feeling a light-headed-ness coming to her. Her entire body was shaking, but the sounds of someone entering had caught her ears at least. Kill me ... I killed him.. someone just... please kill me... However, the doctor's words caused Skye to slowly look up at the man, and her tear stained face reflected in his thin spectacles. "Come on Ven, Skye, whichever... you need to get yourself together..." the doctor said before noticing her arm finally. Small eyes grew and shrank before he quickly made to try and help her up. However, Skye pulled back and forced herself to her feet without him. "Let's go," Skye said rather sharply carrying an authority that caused the doctor to freeze for a few seconds before nodding. With that, they escaped away. They manged to get away without being caught, and as she came into her house, Skye collapsed not from pain but from her own breakdown once more. The doctor pleaded with her to come farther inwards, and she complied weakly before finally flopping on the couch. Windows were smashed closed and shudders with them as the sound of guns roared outside. It was in this that Skye slowly faded from consciousness. Red eyes flashed open rather quickly, and Skye sat up before flinching as a pain in her newly wrapped arm surged through her. The doctor who was sitting in a chair looked over and quickly rose walking over to her. "Fang! Penny! Da-d...-daddy..." she whimpered looking at him weakly tears filling her rather quickly again. "Shhhh, Skye...Skye it's alright..." The doctor said slowly taking her hand and looking at her. "I need you to pay attention, Skye... Fang's alright... still asleep at the moment but her injuries will probably heal... Penelope...is dead... your father is dead...." Skye thrashed as a sudden fear took hold of her. She wanted to fight away! This wasn't happening! This couldn't be happening! However, the tightening of fingers on her hand oddly froze her. "Skye... Skye...breathe... there is nothing you can do... just relax for now..." Skye flinched but quietly complied. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Fang couldn't gather anything as she was carried out of the church. She was constantly in and out of consciousness, but hearing Adder's voice was somehow comforting to her. Her only regret was that she couldn't be buy his side, covering with him. Next to Skye, Adder was her best friend; in fact she'd had it set in her mind for the longest time that once she and Skye came to power, Adder would be promoted to their head bodyguard.

On the way to the building, gunshots were all that could be heard, aside from Adder's occasional war-cry or cursing as he returned fire. But then everything grew silent...

Fang awoke, her head throbbing, but the first thing she noticed was that the knife wasn't in her arm anymore, and it was neatly bandaged. But...she couldn't feel it; her arm was...numb. Dead weight. Brown eyes scanned the room, and she recognized the place as Skye's house. Fang sat up, looking around.

"Skye...you're alive..." were the first words she weakly breathed. Then, she looked at the doc, a confused look on her face. "Hey...doc? I thought I heard Adder's voice. Where is he?" She froze, as the thought suddenly hit her; she remembered his voice suddenly going silent. "Doc. What happened to Austin?"

What Fang didn't know was that Adder didn't make it. Before they'd gotten to the house, he'd taken down many who'd tried to kill the future leaders. But as they made it inside, Austin's frame was littered with gunfire; he'd given his life to protect his best friends and future bosses. Even now, his 160 pound frame was slumped against the door, and any who wanted to enter would have to move it first.

The doctor looked over as well before whispering something about sitting still before standing up and going over to Fang. The question that was asked caused him to grimace, but he forced himself to stay calm. "He died, Fang," he said quietly looking at her with a sheer honesty that was hard to argue with. Skye's eyes remained focused on Fang's form even as she lay on the couch doing her best not to move as the doctor had ordered. "F...fang..." Skye's voice was weak, but this was only from her lack of energy and the feling of defeat that was weighing down on her. Suddenly the sounds of rapid fire could be heard outside causing the doctor's head to jut to one side. Blue eyes focused on the door before shifting back to Skye's and then to Fangs. "Both of you need to get out of here.... away from the platform completely... It's not safe here," he said quietly before standing up fully again. "I'll hold them off as long as I can, but you both need to quickly get away through the back" he said before slowly walking to the door. "No! Stop!" Skye squeaked out. She didn't want to lose anyone else... why was this happening? Why... More shock tears fell from her eyes, and she shook ever so slightly. The doctor didn't stop though but was instead heading towards the side door. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Austin was gone too...Adder. He'd always had Fang and Skye's backs, even to the grave. And now....now they had no one. Fang sprang to her feet, regretting it as a sudden dizzy spell came over her. She shook that off after several seconds.

"Doc, wait! I don't have any ammo....and besides....where are we supposed to go? Everyone here either wants us dead or is already dead...And...you don't have to go out for us. You aren't even part of the Vipers, technically. Just somebody they brought in to keep us healthy, threatening you with you life. You don't have to do this. You have more right to get away from this hellhole than we do. And...my arm. I can't feel my right arm. Will I ever be able to use it again? And there has to be a way you can go with us...I don't wanna lose anyone else today, dammit!" Fang's voice was constantly frantic as she continuously jumped from subject to subject. This was just too much for her to handle.

"I wish there was more I could do for you... for both of you," he said turning back before looking at Fang's arm and slowly pushing up his thin spectacles. "But you'll have to find another doctor.....find one in the Eran capital. They still have a very good doctoring department.." he smiled a little. " Fransesca, you've grown up a lot since I first met you. Please take care of Skyler.... I don't have bullets to give you, but please try and get away..." he said softly before kissing her forehead and releasing her again. Looking back towards Skye who was looking back at him in a horrified way, he smiled again. "I never did approve of your father making you dress like a boy, Skye... Take... this as an opportunity to become what you want," he sighed quietly before starting to walk away. Skye was suddenly on her feet charging straight at the doctor before seizing his familiar coat and holding him still. "Don't leave me!" she shouted before sinking down onto her knees and simply holding onto his coat tails. The doctor flinched but pulled away turning down again and setting a hand on her head habitually. "You have Fang, Venom... take care of her..." was the order, and suddenly Skye couldn't move. With that, the doctor walked out the door. Skye didn't move. [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

Fang just stared in disbelief; he was going to go anyway...Unlike Skye, Fang didn't try to stop him; the young woman understood that he felt this was what he had to do. She herself had felt the same in the church, when she was unloading in Michael's men before....the accident....

Suddenly the sound of gunfire picked up outside, and Fang turned and ran upstairs, to Bret's room. In a hurry, she had the room ransacked, and picked up every gun and bullet she could find--which was stashed under the bed. Ripping drawers out of the dresser, she found nothing. In the closet, she found a wad of pen, which she stuffed into her bra.

Then....she saw someone perched outside; they were climbing up the side of the house! In a flash, her good arm had a gun in hand, putting a bullet in the guy's head before running back downstairs.

"Skye! They're coming in through upstairs, we gotta split, and like, now!"

Her entire body was frozen where she sat, and as the sound of fire picked up, fresh new tears were sliding down her cheeks. Oh God. Oh God why..why was this happening why? She didn't even realized Fang had gone upstairs before the woman was back down again and saying that they had to leave. Looking down, she just shook her head weakly. "Everyone is dying...everyone..." she replied. She couldn't do this! She couldn't deal with this! All she could do was sit there and feel helpless.... [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

"Damn it, Skye! I refuse to let you die too. Get your ass up and let's. GO." Fang was yelling; for once in her life she was frantic. For some reason, she felt they had to keep going; that maybe....there was more to their purpose than this. They had to.

Putting her gun in the holster, she grabbed Skye by the arm with her one good one, frantically tugging her. "Skyler Marie Viper! I KNOW everyone is dying! But I'll be damned if I let you sit here and die too! Doc's last orders were for us to get free. If nothing else, we owe that to him!" Fang felt tears starting to fall down her cheeks, and she clenched her eyes shut.

"Venom...Look...I made it my sole duty to protect you with my life. Either we escape together, or I'm dying with you."
