She was gone.
He'd never see her face again. Never see her smile. His little sister was gone.
"Hey Lorem? Are you okay?" the arctic fox asks the grieving axolotl.
And it was all HIS fault. He never liked Orion to begin with, and now that he had killed his little Lia...something in him snapped.
Lorem whirled around to face his rival, anger flashing in his eyes. "YOU FUCKING BASTARD! YOU KILLED HER!" he says as he cracks his fist into Orion's jaw, sending him reeling back. But he doesn't retaliate. He knows he deserves this. Even though he wasn't even himself at the time. But Lorem didn't care. He just wanted his sister's murderer to pay. And pay he would.
The axolotl punched him again, causing a rather nasty bruise to appear on his forehead. But again, he does not retaliate. Lorem jumps on him, sending them both crashing to the ground. He grabs a nearby lamp and smashes it onto Orion's head, causing shards of glass flying everywhere, some of them cutting Lorem in the process, adding more wounds to his scar infested body. Lorem throws away the lamp and continues to let out all of his anger, pain, suffering and misery at the loss of his sister onto Orion, who again, does nothing to defend himself. He knows that he deserves far worse than this.
Lorem raises his fist once more, and Orion braces for the incoming blow, but it doesn't come. Surprised, he looks up at Lorem. His face has changed. No longer angry. Only sadness. His eyes well up with tears. "My little sister...bring her back! Please, just give me my sister back!" he howls as he hits Orion again, however, there is no energy in them, and he ends up crying into Orion's chest. Orion looks at him in shock. He wasn't expecting this at all. "I'm sorry, Lorem. But you know that I couldn't control myself when Cain put that...thing...into my head. I know that you could never forgive me and I don't expect you to. I killed your sister and I will live with that for the rest of my life. If I could bring her back I would do it in a heartbeat. You've gone through some serious shit in your life and I took away the one of the only good things from it. And I'm sorry for that."
Lorem stops crying, and manages to smile, despite the circumstances. "One of the only good things? Who else is there?" Orion looks at him sceptically. "Irrilia." At this, Lorem laughs. "Yeah. And I'm going to get her before you do, dog breath." Orion rolls his eyes. "For god's sake mate, I told you before. I am an ARCTIC FOX!" Lorem just pokes his tongue out and gets off of him, looking at the mess they made. "So...uh, who's cleaning this up?" Orion asks as he gets up also. Lorem looks at him, and then turns around. "Not me that's for sure."
He starts to leave but Orion puts his paw on his shoulder. "Mate, I..." he begins, but Lorem cuts him off. "I know. And I forgive you. I know that you couldn't have done anything. Just remember, next time we go up against Cain, make sure to let me have a go at him okay?" Orion nods. "Sure thing mate."
And then Irrilia walks in. "WHO THE HELL MADE THIS MESS?"
Lorem and Orion point to each other. "He did it!"
