↳ CHAPTER EIGHT:

FRIENDS ↵

After Rick intimidated the group, it was time to move out. Tara stood beside Harley and Floyd but her attention wasn't on the two beside her, rather following Chato who she thought she could talk to– he was the only one with powers, like her.

"I'm gonna kill him," Floyd told Harley and Tara in a low voice and Tara turned her attention to him. His gaze was directed at Rick, watching the soldier take lead.

"Well you better make it quick, 'cause he's gonna kill all of us one by one."

"I'm gonna drop him, the sword lady, five or seven of these SEALS. After that, I'm gonna need some help.

"I get Katana," Tara piped up. She didn't directly say she was in on the plan or against it, rather called dibs on the female warrior with the blade..

"Always. What about the shit in our necks?"

"Your friend's gonna help us out with that, right?" Tara furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, she was missing some type of information. She didn't comment on it, however, listening to the rest of the conversation between Floyd and Harley.

"You're my friends, too." Harley smiled at the two of them, and Tara rolled her eyes. She still wasn't fond of the blonde but she knew that she never had friends before. It would be nice to have friends, even with a crazy blonde.

"Stay evil, doll face. Spread the word." Floyd told her with a smile and the blonde departed from the other two.

Tara turned to Floyd, "are you sure what you're doing will happen?"

Floyd's face turned to her, a serious expression on his face. Tara's eyes drifted down to his lips, noticing the scruff surround his lips. She cleared her throat before turning away, embarrassed of the thoughts she had.

When she came into her powers, she didn't know what she was, or who she was. She never really thought much of other people, she never liked them. She never felt like she fit in with them. She was an outsider.

And as an outsider, Tara never made friends nor ever had a boyfriend. So these thoughts that clouded her mind of the man with a killer shot confused and freaked her out.

Floyd noticed this and smirked at the young woman and as he was about to open his mouth up and flirt, Tara bolted away. 

Tara found herself at the front of the group next to Rick. They looked at each other before looking ahead. It was a mutual silent agreement, no talking.

"Boss, we got people up here." The soldier, GQ, announced on the comms and Tara turned to Rick, a concerned look on her face. Tara didn't know about this mission, what the group was told didn't seem to add up.

"I'm on my way." Rick replied, his gaze on Tara. He knew that Tara was an unexpected character and didn't know what she would do, Amanda thought she had this alien in control but Rick kept his mouth shut. June and him had their secrets, he knew that he couldn't trust Amanda even if she was his boss.

She was a snake.

COMMET IF YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE
filler chapter! i'm going through Devil Within and editing, changing Tara's character, and her faceclaim. She is now portrayed by leslie ann brandt. I'm going to make her hone her alien culture more and make her more alienated with humans. (Kind of like Malia in Teen Wolf and how she's learning human ways).
