"I know, I'm just as surprised." she replied coolly and continued firing until the only response to the pulled trigger was a 'CLICK CLICK CLICK'. She looked at her gun curiously then to Adrian.

The Carrier removed his arms from around her, quickly returning to his position after a few seconds of reloading the gun. Placing it back in her hands, he sighed. "Surprised that you don't like what I have to say or surprised that I'm saying such things to you?"

She shrugged. "A little of both, really." she admitted. "You looked so upset and angry a while ago."

"Eighteen forever? How'd you get that way? And why stay eighteen? If anything, I'd choose to be... I don't know, twenty-three. Get to buy some beer~" she ranted on a little while letting him control the gun more than her. Left at the altar? No wonder he looked so angry, she didn't blame him.
"Hey, better than getting married only for your spouse to run off all the time." she grumbled, unintentionally adding bitterness to her tone, and took back control of her gun.

"I became a Carrier at eighteen, so this is how old I'll be for the rest of eternity," he said simply, blinking slowly. "My fiance was as beautiful as she was kind, and I thought she loved me as much as I loved her. She took everything: my heart, my happiness, my virginity, everything. Now I see her heart was as black as mine is empty now. Amy wasn't the angel I imagined her to be: she was a succubus, a siren, and only used me for my power."

Her face grew sympathetic. "This your first heartbreak?" she asked and risked a sideways glance. "It gets easier to deal with after some time." Her gaze went back to the few remaining targets. "Nikolai was a good guy. Hard to follow a lot of times, but all around good. He made me laugh, made me smile. But everytime he left me alone for months, each time I got ready to move on with someone that could actually make me happy again, he'd show up as if from no where and guilt me back to being with him. This happened, oh, several times. And hey, that's not even the worst part." Her grip on the gun tightened. "He's cheated on me before. Then there's our son Dragon. He ran away because of how much he hated us, can't say I blame him."

"Not my first," he said. "Myka was my first. Amy was the first to completely shatter my heart." After hearing about her husband, he sighed and nodded. "No offense, but your husband sounds like an a*****e. Why did you stay with him? Just guilt can't keep you that long."

Her smile got wicked. "That, and every other guy I loved mysteriously disappeared."

He chuckled, his chest vibrating and shaking. "That almost happened to me once. He ended up in the lowest fiery pit that Hell can offer. One of the best things about being a Carrier to the Rider of War is that there are few more powerful than I am, and the Devil tends to owe me favors."

"Rider of War? Like the Four Horsemen?" she raised an eyebrow at him. "What's a Carrier? Sounds like some kind of zombie thing."

"A Carrier is the person who holds the spirit of the Rider they are assigned to inside them," he told her, sighing. "I'm the Carrier for the Red Rider, the Horseman of War. His name is Augustus, and he's the most irritating moron I've ever known. He has his sweet moments, but then he has his other ones when he whispers into my ear the most idiotic and sometimes perverted things. For example, he's the one who noticed your breasts in the first place."

"Hmph. I guess that's what I ought to expect from someone named Augustus." she said with the faintest hint of a sneer.

His lips lowered to her ear, a slight smirk slipping over them. "Careful. He doesn't take kindly to pretty girls making fun of him, and you're awfully pretty. I wouldn't keep giving him reasons to force himself out."

"I'll keep that in mind, Casanova." she murmured and continued firing her gun until her ammo ran dry again. She cursed under her breath. Adrian was a charmer, a handsome one at that, but she just couldn't summon the feelings back. Nearly every part of her was positive that Nikolai would return with that cocky grin of his and some kind of explanation that wouldn't at all help him. She just didn't want to see him again.
