River scowled.
"Of course it wan't my business! I didn't ask to know your business! I was hoping you'd at least not say you were coming with me and change that decision without telling me. I never asked to know every move you made. I'm not your keeper! I haven't even known you for a day, idiot!" She growled and got up in his face, trying to think of what else to say, only to be stunned into silence when he said
he did come back for her.
Edward came back for her? Was she supposed to believe that? River was uncertain. Still, he left. That's what irritated her. But he did have two points. One: he did actually come back for her like he said, and two: he wasn't
that other man. No, he wasn't her husband, The Doctor, the most frustrating, yet lovable man in all of the universe who pissed her off to hell and back. The one who gave her happiness that no money could buy, and yet took away that happiness every time he turned his back and left her. The one who made her love life and hate it all at the same time. The same man she would someday give her life for. The very man who she shed countless tears over, a man who surrounded himself with so many different women that River doubted there was any room left in his hearts for her.
River was bitter, and yet, Edward was not that man. Sure, he pissed her off--maybe ten times more than the freaking Doctor--but he wasn't her husband. He was a different person entirely, and she couldn't go around judging peoples actions based on what The Doctor did, now could she? That wasn't entirely fair, was it? The Doctor was a being separate from any others. So, excluding the things that her irritating, wonderful husband had done to her, what had Edward really done since she had met him?
He got her fired up, that's what. He got her riled once because of his attractive charms and once because had been a dick. Both times she felt like her face was on fire and she had to admit that was... interesting to her.
A long awkward silence fell between them. River wasn't sure what to say, to be honest. She suddenly wasn't as mad as she originally had been, and didn't know how to channel a calmer feeling inside herself. She opened her mouth to try and say something, but that's when the announcements came about the traitors and the girl who was murdered. After the announcement, and before River could say anything else, the pirate pulled another total dick move: he up and freaking left!
"Bloody pirate thinking he can just up and walk out after someone dies in this bloody school. Well he can bloody get killed next for all I care. He can bloody go to hell. Leaving a woman to fend for her own like this. I hate him. I just hate him!" she said, grumbling like an old woman and speaking far too fast and quiet for Ed to even hear. She did, however, do one last thing before he was completely gone...
River puffed out her cheeks like a chipmunk with nuts in her mouth and angrily wrinkled her nose at him. She bent over and started to take her shoe off, cursing him out while she did.
She then threw her shoe at him.
Mulan style. :)
The shoe hit him on the back of the head before he was gone. River scowled to herself and went over to pick up the shoe, putting it back on. She was pissed, but strangely enough found his dick-like behavior attractive. I guess River was just attracted to a-holes, even if she didn't care to admit it. :)
Once the shoe was back on her foot, River wandered out of the main part of the store, into another room away from others, just in time to see the chaos of imps and fighting going on everywhere. An imp ran past a glass window, stopped, turned around and to look at her. River took a step back, eyes widening.
"Oh shi--"
The imp broke through the glass window and tackled her to the ground, attempting to bite into her neck. Before it could do so, however, River kneed the thing in it's stomach and rolled away while it was recovering. Though on her back, River felt around with her hands to see if she could find anything to quickly use as a weapon. When she didn't find anything in time, however, the creature jumped onto her again.
River continued to feel around, looking for something she could use to defend herself. If she didn't, that thing was going to kill her right here and now!
But, as luck would have it, River deeply cut her hand on a piece of glass from the broken window as she felt around on the ground. She winced, but seconds later realized it was something she could use to help defend herself. She turned toward the imp and stabbed it right in the face with the shard of glass she held.
Like dis :3
But once River had stabbed it once, she began to stab it in the face several more times in various different locations. She wasn't sure how long she would need to attack it to finish it off, but she was willing to go for an overkill just to make sure she was safe.
After several strikes, and being sure it was dead, River shakily rose to her feet, feeling a little bruised from when the creature had knocked her to the ground. She reached at her side instinctively for her gun, but of course she still didn't have it back. What she did have, however, was the vice she had won out of the store machine earlier. She took it off her belt. It was heavy and strong enough to use for whacking those things. It would have to do at least until she got a real weapon back.
Once the imp was taken care of, River knew she had two options. She could either go look for others to help, or try to hide and keep herself safe. Now, she knew the good thing to do would have been to help others. It would have been the thing The Doctor would have wanted her to do...
"Eh, that man isn't here. And he's not the boss of me."
Hiding it is~ Besides, River was sore from the fall and cut up from rolling around in glass. She didn't feel like fighting at the moment. And sometimes, like the pirate, she could be secretly a jerk-face herself who didn't feel like helping out anyone but herself. Now was one of those times.
So River walked further into the store hiding behind a counter in order to stay hidden. She would camp there until the threat was no longer an issue.
While she waited, River tried to think over who could have been the traitor. As much as she was pissed off at Elizabeth for cockblocking her and at Edward for being an a-hole, she couldn't vote for the traitor based on who had pissed her off in the last twenty-four hours. No, that wouldn't be a smart move. Besides, it wasn't as if pirates knew how to use a flamethrower, which was indeed the murder weapon. River wasn't sure who to peg as the traitor just yet. She decided to wait and get some rest before deciding that.
//ooc: This is my last post for the night. Just thought i'd make it a huge one for the heck of it. XD So don't reply to me anyone. I'll be back tomorrow either in the morning or sometime after work if I get called. :3 For now, I'm just hiding out somewhere. Enjoy the hoard of imps! I'm not sure if they were all taken care of yet or not, but if they were, the one I saw can just be one that was missed. ;) I'll vote for traitor tomorrow. I'm tired and don't want to waste my vote without actually having enough rest to think it over. XD Night!
