AJ ~~ 18 ~~ forest/garden


he had just about turned around as he saw the man tower up before him only to have something dash past him and the man sailed down to the ground. Confused, shocked and not quiet understanding what had just happend. Shocked and shaking he stumbled after Darci as she pulled him along. His free hand on pure reflex grabbing the bag, carrying the remaining games and handhelds that hadnt fell out of the bag or gotten broken. the shoulder having been pierced was for the moment numb, the pain that would later on rage within his body was for the moment dormant, resting and boading its time so that it later on could rule his mind and make sure the young man would feel nothing but pain for quiet some time. In silence he just followed, obaying orders he tagged along with the small three man group, leaving Myles behind to take care of the situation. After running some time he slowed down to a walk, panting with sweat rinning all over him and his heart beating rapidly in his chest. While shaking he slowly raised a hand, looking at it as if the hand was hoovering in the air, unattached to his arm. He have always been proud of his abilities, his gifts ... its amazing! But now? He feelt kinda useless to be honest.



Ezili Smith ~~ 63 ~~ Her cabin

She sighed a bit, walking out on the porch of her logcabin. As she leaned on the railing she looked up on the stary sky. The only thing she heard was crickets, a owl and some grass moving here and there. "oh dear, I do hope the professor manages to get them here." she whisperd up to the sky. As nothing but silence answerd her she smiled, lowering her eyes with tears pressing in them. "Right now I really wish you were all here..." she mumbled before walking down the porch. As she walked down onto the moist grass, towards the lake she simply moved her hands and as she did three persons took shape with the dewdrops she collected. "I promiss you all ... soon I might have company, if even for just a day." she smiled to the seethrough shapes. The oldest man was made to smile and she felt her heart break once more, letting the collected water fall to the ground. No matter how much she can make the water look like them she still cant interact properly with them. In the end ... she is just a old lonely lady.

"August wait! AJ needs a break! August!" The girl said torn. Should she stay or keep going like she had been told. After all she had risked to save the boy she would just leave him now. "AJ come on we can't stop now!" She prompted as she heard footsteps coming towards them. "You have to stand!" Frantically she tried to pull him to his feet though it was no use as the boy seemed limp. The footsteps got closer, so close she could see whom they belonged to. It was Myles! His face was covered in blood from a gash on his head and she was sure he had been shot more times than that due to the state of his clothes.
"Darci-" He began weakly with a bit of a gurgling cough. "Come on the cabin isn't far here." His eye was dull blue again though it flashed as he called upon a skeleton to pick AJ up. Myles limped ahead of them, leading them while Darci and the skeleton followed.

~August~

August was beyond relieved to see Miles was alive, though evidently not un injured. Moving around to his side August supported Miles and followed his lead. They were going to a cabin? How could any cabin be safer than the institute?

AJ ~~ 18 ~~ forest/garden

He bent his back, suporting himself by having his hands lean on his knees. Damit he needs to train more. If he survives this crap that is what he will do! As he heard footsteps he sighed tiredly, just about to tell her to just go. He is way to untrained for this kind of stuff. If the battle was in a computor he wouldnt have a problem at all. But thats not the case now is it? Despit the embarassment of beeing the one beeing caried he didnt have energy to protest, all he managed to do thought was grabb a random game from the bag and leaning against the skelebob. "Cabin?" he mumbld a bit confused. Why the hell would they go to a cabin of all places? Is it just a meetignplace or genuinly where they will be hiding? Wait ... CABIN?! There is no ******ing way he will have connection to internet then right?! How will he survive?!

Darci~12 years~ female~ halls
With a slight movement he pushed the boy away. He didn't need help, least not at the moment. Despite his injuries he was still traveling on full steam, though he was sure as soon as he stopped moving he would pass out. "Not far now, just stay in a group alright?" The man asked putting a hand on one of the many wounds his body now harbored. "Darci, keep an eye out that no one is following. I give you full permission to dismiss them if there happens to be anyone." The girl nodded for a moment before looking about them. As they broke through the dense underbrush though she saw what he meant as a cabin seemed to appear from anywhere.
"Is that the house?" She asked to simply get a nod as an answer. "Are you sure we are safe?"
"It will at least serve as a place to heal for the moment. We all need rest." Myles said wincing now from the effort. He would be asleep for a week after tonight! He had over done it, really over done it. If he woke up at all it would a blessing.

As she saw a bunch of shadows aproach her cabin over the open field she stoped, her old legs feeling surprisingly fresh in the chilly nightair. As she heard a familiar voice she smiled. "it sure have been many years since I saw you Myles, Now little one, you sound awfully tired, come along in with me, all of you." she said with a kind, soothing smile on her lips. As she noticed a whitehaired boy stare at her she smiled politely. "its rude to stare dear, now shop shop or i wont give you any sweets. The boy seemes almost insulted by this but said nothing. However after some time he stoped and looked at her with spite in his eyes. "now little one, I may not have the fighting abilities of Wolverine or the likes but i do have the ability to whoop your tiny little botocks so do behave dear." she said simply pushing the boy forwards.

As he heard a old voice he looked up at it. A old woman? Heck she seemed ancient, looking almost twice as old as the professor or maby even more. As they were told to get in he slowly and tired got of ^his^ skelebob and started to walk towards the cabin. But as she commented he stoped, glaring at the old hag before muttering heading in with the rest. This is why he dont like elders, they are so ... stuckup.

Darci~12 years~ female~ cabin

In all honesty she was confused when the woman addressed Myles, whom was nothing more than a pale more or less zombie at this point. His eye had stopped glowing now making him seem more like a human though the way he was holding out against his many of wounds proved that it was not all that met the eye. Each of the wounds were still bleeding, at such a rate that a normal human would have passed out by now yet somehow he managed to press on. Once inside the door though he promptly collapsed against the door frame. "Myles?" Darci asked shaking him slightly but he was already out cold. he had helped them so much, and for that he ended up like this. More than likely though he would be alright, to say the least that was. the human part of him would bare scars though whatever the other part was would hold no ill effects. "ma'am?" The girl asked addressing the woman now. "Do you think I could barrow a bowl and some water? If it's not too much to ask." Her voice was thin and rather shaky as she asked.

~August~Forest~

August hung back behind the rest of the group as they moved towards the cabin, somthing else had caught his attention. There was a strange presence out there somewhere but his own mind was so clouded that it could have just been his imagination. He was nonetheless compelled to seek out this presence and turned away from the others, slipping back into the forest virtually unnoticed.

He and Minnie walked through the forest for what must have been hours as the trees grew thicker and thicker and the sun rose high into the sky. His wounds burned like hell and he was beyond lightheaded but he didn't care. His heart was pounding hard and with how much he was exerting himself, the wounds refused to stop bleeding completely. What the hell was he doing out here? Where even was he? He had no clue anymore. The others were probably worried about him...

The world slowly went dark again, though wether it was because the sun was setting or because his vision was fading August couldn't tell. Regardless he fell unconscious soon after...

Ezili Smith ~~ 63 ~~ Her cabin
She followed the group inside her cabin, closing the door behind her before looking at the man that had fallen to the ground. With a consearned look on her face she looked at Myles a moment before starting to move towards the kitchen only to be interupted by the girl. With a soft, gentle smile to the girl she bent her knees slightly however it was enough to make them complain from the movement. "ofcorse dear, but go into the bathroom and clean up first. We dont want to infect one of his wounds now do we?" she smiled at the girl. As she disepeared into the bathroom she had pointed the girl to she simply had the blood within Myles body move him onto the soft, white couch that quickly got stained with red marks from the mans bravery. With that done she grabbed both some anticeptics and lots and lots of bandages as well as some clothes to clean the wounds with. "Now Myles dear, this will sting a bit." she said as she looked at the uncontious man. Granted she is a lot older than he is, but she have always had a soft spot for Myles. For the longest time she had harboured a deep affection towards the younger man but as she had found her husband it had slowly died and turned into nothing but friendship. But no matter the level of friendship it stung a lot to see him in such a situation. heck, it would pain her to see anyone in such a situation. in silence she sat on a stole next to the couch, clenaing the wounds.

He looked at them all before tensing up. Wait, something is not like it should. Lets see... Darci is at the bathroom, cleaning up. Myles is on the couche with the lady cleaning him. So ... who are they mi... ******! Where is August? After scanning the house wuickly with his eyes he sneaked out, running out to look for him. "AUGUST?!" he screamed once as he walked in under the forest. "MINNIE?!" he tried as he didnt get a answer from the guy he was lookign for.

Darci~12 years~ female~ cabin

Slowly she nodded to the woman before heading towards the bathroom. She wasn't much help, the blades about her wrists prevented anything of the sort. The only real thing she could do was sit back and relax until they slowly went away. She seemed to be the only on of the group that wasn't harmed in some way aside from the mental trauma she faced. Myles was perhaps the luckiest of them all. She had seen him get hurt before, it was her that had hurt him. The man wasn't like most humans in the way that no matter how harmed he is he is able to sleep it off. When she had hurt him she had severed a few of his fingers by accident though he told her not to worry about it. Within a few minutes of sleeping the fingers reconnected. It was like magic really. Though she knew not how long it would take him to heal after this she was sure he would be alright. After cleaning the blood from her hands as best she could and washing her face she returned to the woman. She seemed nice enough, though it was a bit awkward to see her pressing the cloth she held to the exposed chest of Myles. "Thank you." Darci said weakly as she stood in the doorway of the living room.
