Cut Above The Rest
Chapter 15: (Season 2) Back to its roots
Previous Chapter Next ChapterTwo days after returning to Canterlot High
Treble was carrying a box full of his stuff into the small two-story house he had bought with Sunset. 'Not even two weeks into a relationship and your moving in with your girlfriend, not bad Treble, not bad.' He smiled and walked through the open red door and set the box down on the wooden floor beside the brown Woden stairs. Looking at the boxes he had brought in he gave a sigh of relief. 'Thats everything, now we just need to unpack then we're done.'
"Did you bring all this in yourself?" His smile grew as he turned to see his beautiful girlfriend standing in the doorway with a few bags of groceries. "Why didn't you wait for me to get back, I could have helped you." He walked over and took half the bags off her.
"It's fine." She frowned at him and followed him into the kitchen.
"I'd like to actually help out around here, you aren't doing everything yourself buster." She scolded. He just gave her a look that said 'oh really?' He then handed her a paint brush and pointed to the bare wall on the side of the kitchen. "Oh you little cheat." He shrugged and walked back to the boxes. "You better make this up to me." He stopped and pulled out a flyer and handed it to her. It was a flyer for a fancy restaurant that had opened up a few weeks prior. "Well played Treble, well played." He chuckled and walked back to the boxes.
Cut Above The Rest Season 2
After a delicious and romantic diner Treble and Sunset walked arm in arm, Sunset wearing a sparkling red dress and long white gloves while Treble sported a red suit and tie, still wearing his sunglasses on his forehead though.
"That was amazing Treble, thank you." Sunset said as she hugged his arm. He chuckled and kissed her on the cheek, causing her to blush. They reached their new home and walked up the smooth stone path that led to their door. Treble held the door open for his girlfriend and she patted his cheek. As he was about to follow he heard a girl screaming. He looked to Sunset who nodded. He kissed her on the lips and placed his sunglasses on the small cabinet by the door.
Running down the direction of the cry for held he came across two large men hassling a woman that looked in her early twenties. 'What the hell is wrong with the level of law enforcement in this city? Oh well, more for me I guess.' He shrugged and shot towards the first man. He jumped onto his back and slammed his head into the brick wall, hoping to knock him unconscious. Unfortunately the man turned out to be so thick headed that he didn't even bleed from the impact.
The man pulled a knife out and started swiping at Treble who had jumped off his back. Treble picked up a trash can lid and held it in front of him. When the man tried to stab him the knife got stuck in the lid. Before he could pull it out Treble thrust it sideways, breaking the mans fingers. He then picked up another lid and slammed each into different sides of the mans head. The man fell and Treble smirked.
He looked to the other man who was holding the woman as a shield with a knife to her throat. Treble just shrugged and threw one if the lids like a frisbee. It bounced furiously from wall to wall until it hit the man in the side of the head. As it flew up into the air Treble caught it and placed it back down onto the trash can. The man fell and his face landed in a pile of... um... you don't wanna know. Ahem! Anyway, the woman ran forward and hugged Treble. She thanked him and gave him a gold necklace with an orange gem in the shape of the sun on it. He tried to decline but the woman insisted.
"I saw you with that girl at the restaurant, I was there with my husband. Give it to her, I don't have a use for it since my cousin passed away." Treble looked to the necklace and held it tightly.
"Thank you." She smiled and walked off. When Treble turned to leave the alleyway he froze at who he saw. The man in the trench coat stood there slowly clapping his hands. "You..."
"That was excellent work Treble Clef, it's good to see your skills haven't faltered since leaving my services." Treble growled at the man and glared at him with rage. "Now now there is no need for that, I'm not here to do anything... yet. Although if I were you, I'd keep that Sunset girl close and in your sights as much as I could. Don't want her... burning up now do we?"
The mans words clicked in Trebles head as he realised the meaning. This only caused Treble to pull the knife out of the trash can lid and glare even harder at the man. "Leave."
"Very well then, goodnight... son." With that the man disappeared. Treble dropped the knife and slumped against the brick wall.
'Keep them safe, keep her safe... keep them all safe from him.'
Treble hid his negativity perfectly from Sunset. He now lay with her in their bed with her cuddling up to him. He gently stroked her hair while internally repeating the same words into himself as he held her close protectively.
'Keep them safe from him, keep them safe from them... keep them safe from me.' He kissed Sunset on top of the head and closed his eyes.
