Revenge of the Fallen (en)

After humanity almost destroyed its own planet, Earth, people decided that it may be better to let her recover and move somewhere else. Scientists had already found new planets where living could be possible so they flew there. They've built first cities as they settled down there and limited living only to the cities so the new planets wouldn't get destroyed as the old one. Rayne lost her family, not knowing why, although she probably deep down suspected that something bad had happened as her grandmother really never told her about their family. One day, her brother found her and together they are trying to find the people because of whom they didn't know each other until now and didn't have family.

I think you have a wrong person

After a few seconds I went out of the toilets, and when I was almost at the point where this corridor connected to the main one, I met the guy who was standing behind Yuki in the bar earlier and as I didn´t want to be alone with that person here, I decided to walk around him. He was probably also going to toilets.

Unfortunately when I was too close, he grabbed me by my wrist which stopped me in the motion. Sighing, I turned around to face the uncomfortably familiar person. He looked like he was thinking what to say, but I didn´t want to heard anything so I just pulled my hand back:

"Let go."

"No."

After hearing his answer, I furrowed my eyebrows. He wasn´t saying anything yet he didn´t want to let me go? What the hell was wrong with this guy. Instead, he was just scanning me with his eyes. How uncomfortable.

"You," he said after a few seconds.

"Me?" I asked like an idiot. No one else was around us at that moment. But I didn´t know what else to say. Rather, I decided to look at him, too. The guy changed over past few years and looked quite handsome now, and kind of feminine, I would say. Yeah, he had interesting style. And still he didn´t talk like matured person.

"So you got out of there safely," he said matter-of-factly all of sudden.

I wanted to laugh at him at that moment, but I just made innocent face: "I have no idea what are you talkin´ about."

"Don´t play dumb," he said as he looked at my outfit.

I tilted my head to the side and took a good look at his face. Wavy hair fell in his face, where it slightly covered his suspicious expression and I couldn´t understand what was the thing he wanted to earn by this... weird encounter.

"I really have no idea what are you talkin´ about," I repeated and tried to set my hand free once again and this time I succeded after which I said: "I think you have a wrong person."

"I don´t think so. You look just same like back then," he said as as he took a look on me from my head to my boots while taking a step closer to me. Yeah, I look exactly the same except I´m older, he can see my whole face now which wasn´t really possible thanks to my hood back then, and my clothes is way more expensive.

Then his sight felt back on my face. Once again, he looked like he was thinking and I hoped he didn´t want to say another stupid thing. To my surprise his sight fell on my injured hand, but he didn´t say anything anymore.

So with annoyed sigh I decided to head back to the bar. But for one last time I looked back at that idiot. And then I shook my head. This encounter couldn´t get more weird.

Zayd and both girls were still at the same part of the room just like when I left. Still with the company of Yuki and the other guy. All of them were talking about something and didn´t even notice my return. So I went to Corey and Ilaria and asked: "So now we can finally get the drinks?"

My unexpected presence caused a few shocks. The two just seemed like they got a heart attacks. Zayd looked at me in a quiet question of how did I get in here. And Yuki gave me a confused look. I shrugged and asked the two females the same question once again.

Both sudently made happy faces and excitedly nodded. Then I smiled at them and looked at the others: "We´ll be back soon. Maybe."

When we finally reached the bar, I asked for drinks as the girls wanted. While we were waiting, the two had a chat and laughed from time to time. I leaned my left forearm on the bar counter and rised my brow in a silent question.

I couldn't understand what was so funny. Even though I was a woman too, I couldn't understand them sometimes. Or maybe they were drunk. Or more. I shook my head and turned to a barmaid that just put our drinks in front of us for which I was prepared to pay with not so happy thoughts. But someone had to do that so with heavy heart I put my communicator to the paying device while the girl took their drinks.

Barmaid with red hair looked at my company and then at me. When she looked into my eyes I understood that she was the one I winked at before. So I smiled at her and took my drink. Then I turned around so I could leave. But she stopped me when she catched the sleeve of my shirt. I turned back as I rised my brows once again.

"Can you tell me your name?"

I had to smile inside. Knowing my name wouldn´t help here, not even a little. One reason was that I wasn´t coming to places like this really often with Zayd. But still, I leaned over and whispered into her ear:

"Rayne."

Then I straightened my back and winked at her again. This was such a fun. Redhead blushed and then paid attention to other customers. I finally turned around to my company and rised my glass: "Cheers?"

"For tonight."

"For us."

I grinned. Each said a different thing but still I drunk with them as I tasted an unknown drink. I have to say, it tasted good. Sweet. I liked that. But only drinks. On other hand, sweet food wasn´t my thing.

A minute later, we were back next to Zayd and others. And now, that idiot who bothered me was back too. I didn´t want to pay any attention to him so I just turned to Zayd as I asked: "Anyway, why are we standing here instead of sitting?"

The one, who was asked, sighed and looked at the tables. Then he looked back at me: "Really, I didn´t come to have meeting with anyone so I haven´t done the reservation."

I nodded with a silent 'ah'. I didn´t trust him all this time. And then he met these guys and started to have a chat with them so I assumed they were the reason of coming in here. Maybe I made a little mistake.

"Who are these two anyway?" I asked Ilaria quietly.

"The one with the curly hair is Damien and the one with the sexy bodyguard is Ander."

I nodded. Finally I knew how to call them. Damien and Ander. But it wasn´t that I hoped in another encounter with them. However, life is a fucking bitch and throws sticks under our feet and everything always ends up leading to what we don't want. Well, not always but... a lot of the time so I really could just hope.
