Stallion {Eighteen} Gang Leader


Stallion immediately became more civil as he pushed Artemis onto the floor, where she looked up at him with these grey, mysterious eyes.


"Do not give me that look." He muttered, rubbing his eyes in frustration as he helped her up. But she did give that look, she looked so small and so damn innocent that he could not hurt her in any way. "It is like you are my kryptonite sometimes, small." He murmured casually as he sighed.


"Can I finish the job?" Artemis smirked as she pushed Stallion off her and swung the door open, receiving a surprised look from many members.


"Out the way, I need another round of this bitch. Thanks for pissing me off!" She shouted as she found Amber, running towards her and pouncing onto her again, this time pulling Amber's precious brunette waves out. "You always said my hair was too fucking short and ugly. You want to take it back?" First she was foghting about Coriolanus but now, she wanted to kill Amber for everything.


"Do me a favour and fuck off!" She muttered before standing up, clenching her fists and sighing, breathless. She then turned to find Stallion, tutting.


"Yeah, I know. I am coming with you." Artemis rolled her eyes as Stallion held her side and dragged her to another room, to receive a lecture, no doubt.

 

[Couldyoustfu]

The italian left the common room out of curiosity after the second fight, silently following the two higher ups.


Coriolanus narrowed his eyes as he noticed many members were coming from that direction, probably banned from either the first or the second in command.


He stopped a few meters from the room the two of them had walked in, an unsure expression on his features. Stallion was probably talking to Artemis, and no matter what he felt for the girl the italian didn't have the confidence to break their "friend" moment.


Many doubts raised in his head.


Was Artemis playing with him? He'd wanted to ask her out for her birthday, but what if she laughed in his face, preferring to spend it with Stallion?


Unsure, the italian let his body sit against the wall, as he light a cigarette practically next to the opposite door in which the two other commanders had walked in.

 

[phattburger]

Amber was soon attacked and found her sight becoming quite blurry as her nose began to bleed. She was not much of a fighter so she stood no chance against the feisty second in command. As she was offered a piece of cloth for her nose, Coriolanus spoke to her.


"It is her way of loving me, I guess." She could feel tears welling up, "I think my nose is-" She was going to finish off with the word 'broken' before she found Artemis in sight.


Her head soon grew with a huge pain as her hair was ripped out, Artemis' glare made her quite terrified and she soon gave in. "I am sorry, I take it back. Get off me." She managed to mutter. In truth, she was envious if not jealous of Artemis' raven shoulder length waves but she was too proud of her brunette waves to admit it.

Artemis {Sixteen} Second-In-Command


Artemis seemed like a badass, and nobody's eyes deceived them, she was one. Artemis was soon followed by Stallion as both members banned others from following. "I know what you are going to say, but she was pissing me off big time. You see her do all of this but you do nothing." Artemis shouted.


"She was bloody off me for once and onto Coriolanus, what does that have to do with you?" Stallion questioned, raising a brow as Artemis fiddled with the ring which Coriolanus gifted to her.


Artemis was lost for words, she had no idea whether this 'thing', whatever it was, was supposed to be a secret. "I... She... We kissed." She blurted out, unable to keep her mouth shut any longer. "And as soon as Amber just went onto him like the slut she is, I lost it." Artemis explained, frustrated and quite embarassed.

Stallion {Eighteen} Gang Leader


Stallion felt somthing poke his heart, his 'small' was growing up, and he did not like it. She was like his little sister, and now she was going around slipping her tongue into the mouths of the gang members. "Artemis, you are kidding me." Stallion groaned. "Shit, I knew something happened, you are so bad at keeping secrets. I cannot believe I let him get out of my room alive!" Stallion rubbed his chin as Artemis shook her head.


"Stop, he is actually nice. And in that ten seconds I did not feel like a child." Artemis argued, and this made Stallion sigh. He was supposed to be her 'brother', the brother which was the funny one who she could tell everything to and depend on. Not the one who played the role of a second father. "Get out there, and get a fucking answer from him before I make him give you one." He muttered, through gritted teeth. He then felt a light peck on his cheek as Artemis smiled and opened the door, walking out.


"I guess you are not so small anymore... Shame." He muttered to himself before following her out.

 

[Quiet Is Violent]

Paint nearly fainted at the sight of the second wave of violence. She's not faint-hearted, but she isn't fond of family fights. Especially after what happened to her family. Paint recovered, leaning against a wall for support. Her eyes are filled with tears and her hands are shaking.


The foster home. The girls who wouldn't stop clawing, laughing, screaming at her. She couldn't escape. She was in a house. She couldn't leave. Now, she's in a gang. They fight like the girls did. They scream and they claw like the girls did. And Paint? She knew it was only a matter of time before she became the target.


Paint slipped quietly out of the Grotto, escaping with no notice. She walked to a blank wall she had painted white a couple of days ago and started painting, not caring about fumes or cops or anything.

 

[Couldyoustfu]

The italian had considered leaving the moment he'd started hearing the conversation the two of them had inside, but as soon as his name came out Coriolanus froze, unable to raise.


The words hissed by Stallion were incomprehensible, but they seemed furious.


Unable to do anything but sit there, the commander started counting the rips in the wall to advert his attention from the conversation.


He had arrived to thirty six when they came out.


"Thirty five, thirty six- oh hey!" He raised his head.


Finally returning to his feet Coriolanus scratched the back of his neck. "So this might have looked like I was eavesdropping, but I wasn't, not intentionally." He stated honestly with a guilty grin, ready for a punch.


His grin took a desperate hint as he moved his eyes on Artemis.

 

[soundoftheatm]

Stallion {Eighteen} Gang Leader


Stallion soon fixed his gaze on a sly Coriolanus. His instincts told him to beat the crap out of him, but he put his gut feelings to sleep now. Instead, the leader grasped hold of Coriolanus' shirt and pushed him against the opposite wall, "You are so damn lucky you will not have your funeral today." Stallion then let him go as Artemis coughed for attention. He turned his heel, "Get me a drink, I need to lie down." He bellowed at a few members who scurried to fulfill his order.


"He does mean well, in his own way." He heard Artemis say as soon as he was began walking.

 

[Couldyoustfu]

Coriolanus' faked expression slipped as soon as he was grabbed by Stallion.


The italian raised his chin proudly at his leader's statement, leveling him with a glare.


Sure, he would have taken a few deserved punch, but if Stallion was looking for a brawl he'd have a good one.


But then Artemis thankfully broke the tension, and the commander's glare softened as the italian's eyes laid on Artemis.


He sighed, fixing the ripples in his shirt.


"I didn't mean to get you in trouble. It's just so hard to get you alone though, and if a beating it's what I'll have to endure for it, I'll do it." The young man grinned, instinctively reaching out for Artemis' hand, which he suspected might have been sore for the fight with Amber.

Artemis {Sixteen} Second-In-Command


Artemis took hold of Coriolanus' hand and shook her head, "He does not mean to shout. As soon as he does start, he stops. I am like a sister to him." Artemis explained.


"Tell me what you wanted to talk to me about." She was determined to change the subject as she found a few members leaning in to observe the state Stallion left her in, they even stayed a little longer attempting to find out what the fight was about, but were soon leaving one by one as Artemis fixed a glare at the crowd.

 

[Couldyoustfu]

He simply glanced at those who came out of curiosity, letting the younger girl scare them.


"Let's not stand in the hall." He muttered, and brought her to the nearest room.


It was strangely void of anything except for a poorly looking couch, so he closed the door behind them and spoke, hiding every hunch of hesitation from his voice.


"Since you said you didn't want to have a party for you birthday, I was wondering if you'd like to come to an event with me? It's the music carnival or something, not sure about how it is spelled."


The italian couldn't hold back an hopeful smile, desperately looking for a good reason to kiss her again.

Artemis {Sixteen} Second-In-Command


•The Grotto's Lounge•


Artemis was quite surprised, she was unable to conjure up a way to react. Was she being asked out on a date? She was asked on many invitations to share a bed, but not asked out on a real date. That meant Coriolanus did not want to mess around, something she wanted.


"Sure..." She accepted, wondering what was with her eager and immediate reply. She was unable to contain her smile, so she revealed her pearly teeth.

 

[Couldyoustfu]

He thought she was incredibly cute for someone so feisty, seen the earlier fight with Amber.


"Alright," He breathed out "I hope you have more of those dresses from the other day. They are very...interesting."


Coriolanus wanted to ask if her if she also would have liked to watch a movie with him tonight, but thought it would have been a little too far. And his mess of a room wouldn't have been very pleasing to the eye either.

 

[Quiet Is Violent]

Thirty minutes pass before Paint sits down. A dead, bloodied wolf. Why did she paint that. If anyone sees it, she could incite the war. Paint sighs and holds her head in her hands. What does she do? Does she go back to the Grotto? Does she go home? Does she continued working on this?

 

[soundoftheatm]

Artemis {Sixteen} Second-In-Command


Artemis scowled, before reaching for the door handle. "That was a one off, that sort of attire does not suit me." She made an excuse, hoping she could wear the new cropped top she stole. She was over-analyzing everything, she wanted to wear this and put on that and actually make an effort for this date, for this boy.


What the fuck has he done to me. She thought, smiling as the thought crossed her mind.

 

[Couldyoustfu]

Coriolanus smiled back at her, biting at his bottom lip.


"Well, you look good in practically anythig, there is no way you're not going to draw attentions." He stated, meaning it in a good way.


If the others found out, they'd probably get jealous and start asking embarassing questions regarding birds and bees, and some others, such as Slim, would most likely try and murder him.


But the commander didn't really care right now, he just wanted to make sure she was his.


He was tempted to kiss her, but decided against it in case Stallion decided to randomly check on them.

 

[Quiet Is Violent]

Paint had made up her mind. She found a tarp in a nearby alley and covered the piece. She then ran back to the Grotto, leaving her backpack by the piece. When she got there, she didn't bother blending in. She shoved through any crowds she came upon. She had to find Red. Red could find Stallion, and that is who Paint needs to talk to. Paint calls for Red, a little terrified of the people here.


That is, until she runs right into Stallion. Paint falls to the ground, confused and disoriented for a moment. Then she springs to her feet. "Sorry!" She says quickly, forgetting she actually had to talk to him.

Stallion {Eighteen} Gang Leader


A thud hit him hard and he found Paint falling to the floor, apologising. Stallion was approached by another member who handed him a beer, this he drank and after a few sips he was calm. He held out his hand to attempt to help the girl up, trying to show his true self and that he was not what he seemed. "Do you need anything? Why the rush?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.


OOC: Feast your eyes on Stallion right now.

Paint stood up, flustered. "I just... wanted to... you're busy, so I suppose it can... wait..." Paint scolded herself in her head for being so spineless. "I guess... um, what I wanted to ask is... can I do a tag warning the Wolves not to mess with us? I mean... I was just thinking about it when I heard what happened... I have a design for it... but I don't want to do anything involving the gang without your approval..." After saying all this Paint wishes she had kept her mouth shut.

Stallion {Eighteen} Gang Leader


•The Grotto's Boardroom•


Stallion nodded in his approval, "We need to scare them off, I think we should inform everyone actually." Stallion then handed the nearest member his drink and clicked his fingers. "Gather up the lovebirds, wherever the hell they went. Check the lounge, their rooms or the bathroom." Stallion ordered and soon members gathered around Stallion and Paint.


"Best idea any rookie has thought of, to be honest. Tag to tell the others to fuck off." He introduced the others, who nodded in unison and muttered, agreeing to the idea.


"You say you are an artist - create rookie. Show me your worth." Stallion said, unzipping his hoodie to reveal his muscular build, he the took the beer can back for another sip.


"Not strong enough," he complained before dropping the can and all of its contents onto the fall. "Get me the finest we have."

 

[Quiet Is Violent]

Paint smiled widely. He complimented her. For some reason that feels better than winning the lottery. She barely noticed the crowd around her. She was on cloud nine. "I won't let you down sir!" Paint promises, nearly glowing with joy. She simply couldn't believe that Stallion called her idea the best that a rookie has ever had.


Paint looks at the others, and her smile starts to fade a little bit. She's still frightened of them. Paint turns back to Stallion. "I will have it done by tomorrow night. At least, I'll have the framework done." Paint promises Stallion.


@Chocoholique

 

[Couldyoustfu]

As if to prove his point, a soldier burst into the room, announcing that Stallion had asked for them too.


Waving his off Corianus turned toward Artemis, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.


"Let's go." He took her hand, leading them toward the common room, before a thought made it's way in the italian's hand.


"Um, do you wish to keep this a secret from others? I'd understand." Was it for him, he'd scream it to the world, but perhaps his second in command was a little more reserved.


@Chocoholique

 

[Altaynna]

Red strolled into the room, hearing the end of the conversation and grinned. "I've seen something she's drawn, I don't think she'll let us down." Then she winked at Paint. "And I'll take a rain check for that drawing you were gonna show me, the blood comes first."

Artemis {Sixteen} Second-In-Command


"Why should we? The Blood is family, we can tell them anything we wish." Artemis then smiled, locking their fingers and walking out, receiving a few glances as they entered the boardroom.


Stallion then bellowed about the idea of a tag to scare off The Wolves, "Oh, great. Before we make plans, I think we should find another place to sleep. Camp Onyx?" Artemis asked, referring to one of the camps that a few members have been placed in.
