" the wrong side of the tracks ' - one x one

xxxophelia raised her eyebrows. "so im your prey?" she asked with a grin. she then realized something.
the leather jacket, the motorcycle, him calling the soutside his 'hunting ground'. "are you a serpent?"
she questioned curiously. she wasn't really as scared of serpents as most of the northsiders were. she
inspired to be a news editor after all, ophelia would have to chase any interesting story.

[sweetsakura]

"hmm it didn't even take
you that long to realise."
he grinned and took one more step
towards the girl.
"so. will you answer my question?"

[`sappho]

xxxophelia watched as the muscular guy stepped towards her. she still didn't know why she had come here
but she made something up in the blink of an eye. "well.. i guess im here to see how you southsiders have
fun," she said with a grin, also taking a step towards him.

[sweetsakura]

Truce's grin turned into a chuckle.
"i don't think you get what the south side is really like,"
he took a step towards his bike and began to put on
his helmet again. how he loved scaring northsiders.
"i suppose you could come with me girlie.
if you're not scared of blood and potential losses
that is..." he was sitting on the vehicle, ready to
start it at any time.

xxx"why dont you show me what the southside is like then, serpent," the northsider said cheekily before
she took a step closer to him. ophelia grinned as she watched him mount the motorcycle. she walked her
way up to his vehicle. she put her leg over one side and sat down by behind the boy, not even hesitating.
"im ready when you are," she told him. she knew how stupid it was to hop on the back of some stranger's
motorcycle but, for some reason, this boy made her feel comfortable.

truce took off really fast, making the engine
roar. "you might regret this," he chuckled and drove off into the distance.
"hold tight," the wind blew into their faces playfully as they rode
past trees and rocks. suddenly, truce took a sharp turn into a small
off-road path, just wide enough to fit the motorbike into.

[`sappho]

xxxwhen the motorcycle took off, ophelia grabbed on truce around his waist instinctively,
feeling the muscle under his shirt. her stomach dropped to her toes, like the feeling you
get on a roller coaster. however, she wasn't scared. in fact she felt like screaming in joy,
loving the feeling of adrenaline rushing through her veins like a drug. "you dont have to
tell me twice!" her hair flew behind her like a mane. when they quickly turned off the
road onto a path, she was defiantly curious as to where they were going.

--- so so so sorry for not replying in so long, school got insane for me, but now im finally off for winter so expect more replies now c:

[sweetsakura]

Truce bounced around some
more and after a few rapid twists and turns
he suddently slammed his brakes
and made the back wheel lift up. he got off and
gave ophelia a helpful hand.
they were currently in
the furthest side of the south side trailer
park. campfires were lit all around them and
curious serpents looked at ophelia. seeing
truce, they quickly lost interest.
- welcome. to my humble home.
he chuckled.

ahh, it's perfectly fine! i totally understand. we had
our exams too and it was stressful

[`sappho]

xxxat every twist and bump in the road ophelia's gripped tightened a little bit.
her jaw clenched as the motorcycle pulled to a harsh stop and the brakes were
slammed. she took truce's hand as he helped her off of the vehicle. she looked
around the camp and saw all of the fires lit to brighten the the darkening sky.
"so this is the serpent's den," she said, a spike of understanding in her voice. "so
what do you all do around her?" she questioned.

--- so glad finals are done, now i can finally relax, write and spend time with my family c:

[sweetsakura]

-oh, well just the typical stuff,
he said calmly.
- like... roasting north siders on our campfires,
he chuckled, looking at her confused face
and proceeded to walk further into the trailers,
greeting fellow serpents.
- so, are you gonna come or not? my trailer's
just around the corner,
