origins (getting rewritten)

part 10: Arrow

lex POV

It was dark the light was hidden away only a black charcoal Mist filled my vision.
"HELLO," I called out as I started to choke slightly on the mist.
A silhouette stood in the distance, it moved to turn around. I reached my hand out hoping for an answer to the mist.

It was the creature from my first dream. Its crystals were stronger and bigger like it was in closing in a shiny purple jail for all eternity. "Oh no," I mumbled under my short coughs.
"Hello did you miss me" they grinned at me.

"Fuck off!" I shouted at it. "Just get out of my head that's all I ask" I snarled.
It appeared taken back by me shouting at it but it continues to talk.
"I'm here to give you a warning" it smirked.
"Whatever it is I don't give a single shit about it," I said trying to appear fearless when I was terrified of it.
"Jeez chill down on the language" It rolled its eyes looking pissed off by me. "You better watch your and your friend's back you may get attacked by her old friends. They say you sell your soul for your best dreams." It smirked at me.
"What are you saying?" I said.

I woke up before I got an answer. I looked around me examining my surroundings. I was still at Baasimas thank god...
It was 6 am Maybe I should go back to sleep.

I woke up at 7 am to the sound of Baasimas making coffee like she normally does.
"Good morning Bassima," I say in a sleepy voice as I sat up. "Good morning" she shouted from her small kitchen counter as she leaned over it.
I got up and walked over to her. I grabbed some toast and ate it as I filled a cup with water suddenly some water spilt on my hand.
It had a tiny purple splinter appeared. What the fuck I thought as I put it under more water, but it became more visible. It's happening again.

It was a crystal again. Oh god, I need to hide this Bassima will think I'm a freak if she sees this. I grabbed a tea towel and snapped the crystal off. OW, that hurt. I then put the crystal in my pocket slowly to avoid confusion or leaving any hints of what a freak I am.

--time skip--

I did not care to tell bassima what happened earlier. I'm too scared, what will she think of me, will I be seen as some abomination? What if she finds out why I am wearing an eye patch? I sighed loudly, as I sat down and waited for Baasima to come back home.

Although I can't forget The dream I had. Who is this friend? I sat in silence as I tried to wrap my head around this situation.

Suddenly the wall phone rang.
I walked over to it and answered it.

It was Baasima she was checking in to say she is going to be late back home, because of an incident with a friend of hers.

I then said my goodbyes and put the phone down, I'm starting to miss her now for some odd reason. But I always feel this way just not this soon though, I feel like something bad will happen. Should I go and see what will happen or am I just being scared for no reason...
I should stay here it will probably be sorted out in an hour or so right???

--time skip--

I'm really starting to worry now I should probably try and find her. I walked over to the door and grabbed the land yard that Baasima uses for her spare keys and ran out the door. This is the first time in ages I have left this place so I'm sure that I will be scared of the surroundings.

I walk out onto the street, many people passed by and it was pretty loud. I walked across the path in front of me and decided to turn a corner. I saw two people standing there. They seemed to be arguing, one was much taller than the other and appeared to be one of those daves? The other was... Baasima!?

The taller person seemed to be wearing a dark blue hat, bright blue turtleneck, indigo trousers that were very baggy and tall brown boots that seemed to have a small ring of metal where it was touching their leg. Their hair was a brown colour and their skin was light.
The taller person seemed to get very agitated and made constant movements with their arms, which seemed very aggressive.

Baasima looked up at them seemingly trying to calm them down but it seems it wasn't working. I decided to try and listen in to the argument.

"Arrow, you need to calm down!" Baasima shouted.

"I am fucking calm, bass, you're just making it worse!" Arrow shouted back.

"No arrow you are-" Baasima was cut off by Arrow punching her. Baasima looked up at her, her eye widened with shock. "Arrow... WHAT THE FUCK!" That was the first ever time I heard her swear...

Arrow didn't say anything and ran at Baasima, she grabbed her by the waist and threw her to the floor. Arrow looked down at Baasima as she flailed her arms around before putting her foot on her chest, pinning her down. She smirked at Baasima. "And I thought I used to date a strong woman." Arrow started to cackle as she smiled at Baasimas fear.

This was the last straw, I ran over to Arrow and threw myself onto her. She looked at me shocked before grabbing a water bottle and throwing out its contents onto me. I screamed loudly as I felt crystals grow on me. Arrow looked at me and then the crystals that almost engulfed my whole chest. She looked surprised. I stare down at her before I saw a smirk grow across her lips. She grabbed one and snapped it off. I let out a blood-curdling scream as agony shot through my body. She held the crystal in her hand before grabbing both my hands and cutting them in the middle. I fell off her and she pinned me down. I looked at my hands as blood trickled out of them. She tried to stab me in the eye but it hit her hand away and made her cut the corner of my lip. I tried to grab her hand but she kept hitting it away and before I knew it.

Blood squirted all over me. I looked up and saw the crystal stuck in Arrow's eye. She screeched loudly and pulled herself off me. She got up and ran off.

Baasima was just getting up and noticed me.
"Lex?" She muttered.
I shot my head over to her and then answered. "Yes?"

Tears trickled down Baasimas face as she pulled me into a hug, she grunted slightly before pulling away, she looked at my chest and noticed the crystals, her eyes widened as she seemed to be in pure awe.
"Why do you have crystals on you?" She asked.

"I don't know... That person threw water at me and now I have this..." I explain awkwardly.
