Snippet #1563444

Cyrus used all of his strength to help Rei up, pulling and backing away as he pulled up his gang member. He fell back onto his ass when Rei was finally up, smiling up at him happily. He was just pleased that Rei had made it out alive. Although the concrete they were standing on wasn't going to last forever. Even the other members knew it and it made Cyrus worry slightly. If it broke then they might all get crushed as it fell. “Spikey’s right! Everybody off before this thing collapses with you on it.” Hearing the voice of Rei calmed Cyrus slightly, although the words only suggested that it was true. It was going to collapse. Rei was always right. “You especially,” he grabbed Cyrus by the arm and pulled him to his feet, pulling them both off of the concrete. When on solid ground Cyrus looked around for Splice in a desperate attempt to find their last member. Although she was fine and he had been worrying about nothing. Cyrus smiled and pulled both of his team members into a tight hug, tears of happiness and relief streaming down his innocent face. ".... Thank you," the voice came from next to Cyrus as Nikolas passed them. Cyrus nodded, letting go of his family and watching Nik walk away, although he was stopped by Rei.“And you, Thorn, where do you think you’re goin’? Nobody’s going anywhere until I start getting some explanations.” It wasn't that Cyrus didn't like Rei's decision, it was just that Nik had helped them, or tried to and he didn't really deserve to be criticized.

"I know about as much as you do, Fang."Nikolas started. Cyrus sighed slightly, a little downhearted at the sudden tensing of the atmosphere. Neither side liked each other that much but they could at least try to get along. "I saved your butt," Cyrus looked down now at the dusty ground filled with small shards of brick and concrete. He really didn't want to hear Rei and Nikolas fight it out. "All I know is that I want to go back to my turf so I can make sure my gang is fine. And get out of here, but I don't think anyone knows how to do that." Finally Nik finished and there was a short pause of silence apart from the sound of Cyrus kicking a stone across the ground. "Actually... you may not be too far wrong," The ominous voice of Taser came breaking through the silence like a knife. "Look, the clouds are darker. Heavier." Cyrus found himself unwillingly looking up and sure enough the sky was darker. Heavy clouds pushed down on them. Menacing in every sense of the word. The sudden sight of them lighting up made Cyrus jump and cling onto the nearest thing, Rei. He closed his eyes and blocked out every other sound, burying his head into Rei's shoulder.
