the autumn wind pinched at exposed layers of skin as clockwork held you tight, guiding you. Failing missions was nothing new but no one had expected it to go like this.

————————————

the group of people you and clockwork were sent to kill were apparently waiting for this moment, hence why you are now bleeding almost half to death with clockwork carrying you, of course she was hurt too but she never dared to show her pain no matter what.

————————————

as blood dripped onto the ground you swore that was the only thing you could hear till it wasn’t. Footsteps.

clockwork harshly pushed you into a wardrobe she came with you as she shut it

“Jesus fuck…right keep quiet okay?” for once she sounded worried, scared, soft?

clockwork noticed as you only got worse, you were barely conscious, she sighed and took a minute to process

“Stay here okay? Don’t make a fucking sound do you understand me?”

she paused only for a minute before wrapping one arm around your neck pushing your head forward as she delivered a kiss to your forehead

“Dumb bitch. I never wanna have to do this again.”

and with that she stood up, got her weapons ready and…well started hunting them down…
