"I only have vanilla cake mix, and we'll put strawberries on top too. BEcause strawberries make everything better." Wayne reached into the newly stocked fridge to pull out all of the ingredients he would need and got cake mix too. When the James question popped up he thought for a bit. It was a good question, he would probably come here first before going home, wouldn't he?

"Oh, um..." Isabella took a sip of tea and grew silent, unsure of what to say. Papa did say that she could stay there until the rain lets up, since her place was a long walk away, but she honestly felt as if she was intruding.

"Mmmm strawberries." Sam said dreamily. She hadn't had those in ages. Mom was allergic, but she loved them. She found a mixing bowl as well as an electric mixer and set them down on the counter with the ingredients Wayne got out. Baking was one of her favorite things to do.

James rain through the rain, heading towards Wayne's house. But the words of the girl still haunted him. He needed to contact them before he got there, somehow...

Mixing all the ingrediants went pretty fast with two people helping. Which was a good thing because Wayne really wanted that cake. It took a while to find the right size cake pan though because he misplaces it all the time. The mix was poured in and thrown into the oven. Waiting for the cake to cook was always the worst part. "This is my least favorite part you know." Wayne said as he stretched his arms out. He took a handful of the left over flour and threw it on Sam when she wasn't looking. He flashed a huge smile as he quickly darted away to avoid her feminine wrath.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Jul 21, 2012 11:22 pm

Sam grinned, understanding why he hated this part so much. The cake smelled delicious, but it couldn't be eaten. She started to clean up when she was met with a faceful of flour. Wayne had a mischievous smile on his face. "Oh no you did not." she said evilly, picking up an egg from the carton. She followed him as he darted off, and finally got him in her reach to crack it right over his head. She ran back to the kitchen before he could react to get more ammo.

The girl wrapped her arms tighter around James's neck, shivering. Her body temperature dropped in an instant. Now she was as cold as the rain and wind, maybe even colder.

by Book the Hero Sat Jul 21, 2012 11:46 pm

"Shit!" Jmes said, rushing to Wayne's place. He rushed into the building, quickly up the stairs, and bursted the door open. "H...he...HELP!"

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Jul 21, 2012 11:58 pm

Isabella jumped when he burst through the door. "J-James!" She looked over at the little girl on his back and frowned. "What...what happened?! Is s-she okay?"

The little girl began to dry. She was getting even colder and her hands and feet were beginning to...change. They turned into a bluish color and became semi-transparent, just like water.

"Draw a bath, quick!" James shouted. "She's a runic, she said she needs to remain wet!" He said, before hurrying over to the bathroom.

by **blackoutEquinox** Sun Jul 22, 2012 12:34 am

Wayne knew something would happen but he didn't know it would be an egg to the head. He was about to walk into the bathroom when he heard the door crash open and James run in. When he heard the call of a bath to be drawn he turned on both knobs to full blast and ran into the living room. Assuming it was the girl whom he hadn't seen before he quickly picked her and brought her to the bathroom and laid her in the tub. When she was in he turned the water off and grabbed a towel to get the gg off his head. Wayne turned to look at James, "You did good kid. Just tell me what happened, all of it."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sun Jul 22, 2012 12:43 am

As the little girl was placed in the tub, she immediately began absorbing the water. The bite and scratch marks on her body began to heal and the single Rune on her leg began to glow with power.

Isabella watched in amazement. "She's like Agua Bendita," she said, remembering the old Spanish tale. "The healer with a water form."

by Book the Hero Sun Jul 22, 2012 12:48 am

James sighed in relief as she started to get better. "Thank goodness." He said, before sighing. "I found her being attacked by a Madness Runic, I quickly fought it off, but my runic powers are weak in the rain, somehow, the kid ended up killing her, and then I began bringing her back here, after she collapsed." James explained.

He then heard what Isabell said. "I don't think I'm familiar with that legend."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sun Jul 22, 2012 12:58 am

"Oh, um...My dad said that, in his hometown in Spain, there was a young woman who would sometimes heal the really sick in the hospital," Isabella said, trying to recall the little story. "She was like, a water ghost or something. When she's dry, her body would look like it was made completely out of water. But when she was wet, she would be just normal." She shrugged and worriedly looked over the girl. "But that's just an urban myth. It doesn't have anything to do with this, does it...?"

by Book the Hero Sun Jul 22, 2012 1:01 am

"Not sure..." James said, quietly pondering this information. "Anyways, we should keep let her rest in the water..." He said, before sneezing. "...Damn, I think I have a cold..." He said, mentally cursing.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sun Jul 22, 2012 1:28 am

Sam let the others deal with the little girl, because she had no idea what to do. They all had more experience with it than she did. It kind of sucked being the only true oblivious human here. She cleaned her face off, deciding to bring the little one some cake later. Kids loved cake. She should be happy with it.

by Book the Hero Sun Jul 22, 2012 1:51 am

James sneezed again. "Anyways, can I trust you guys to watch her?" He asked, before sneezing again. "I still have errands to run." He said, while heading to the door., grabbing his umbrella.

by **blackoutEquinox** Sun Jul 22, 2012 2:00 am

"Well Then, we'll take care of this when the little one wakes up. In the meantime I'll watch over her unless someone else wants too." Wayne noticed James leaving and called out to him, "Come back over here when you can, I would much like to speak with you." After another sidelong glance at the girl in the tub Wayne went to go check on the cake real quick before he had to devot time to the girl. It would still need a while.

by Book the Hero Sun Jul 22, 2012 2:07 am

James nodded, before leaving the house, and heading towards the store. He quickly got bought the groceries his parents had written on a list for him to get. Really, that's all they really wanted him to do, otherwise they didn't care what he did, and just ignored him. As James began heading back, he looked up at the sky, and the falling water that came from it.

...Why am I still here?

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sun Jul 22, 2012 12:23 pm

The water in the tub began to move, wrapping around the girl so she was in one big watery blob. She was still breathing and for some reason wasn't drowning, but it appeared that she wasn't going to wake up anytime soon.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:16 pm

Sam saw movement behind her and turned to see Wayne come in to check on the cake. "Is the little girl going to be alright? And you still have some egg on your forehead." she giggled. She probably shouldn't be talking since there was probably a lot of flour remaining on her.

by **blackoutEquinox** Sun Jul 22, 2012 11:28 pm

"Yeah the girl will be all right, but she is a Runic so I'll have to see what's going on with that first. And it looks like she'll be staying for a while too. Maybe I should open an orphange for Runics or something." Wayne chuckled at his own joke while he reached for a paper towel. He ran some water over it from the sink before he spoke again. "It would be awesome if you could get the last of the egg off for me. I'll help you get the flour off your face when you're done too." Wayne flashed her a smile as he handed her the wet paper towel.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sun Jul 22, 2012 11:44 pm

"You better help me out, since you put it there. Your mess, you clean it." Sam grinned, taking the towel. She wiped the egg off of his forehead and dragged him down closer to make sure she got as much of the egg off of his head as she could. He needed a shower to get it thoroughly off, but with the girl in the bathtub, that won't happen anytime soon. She threw the towel away and got another one wet to prevent salmonella and handed it to him. "Your turn."

by **blackoutEquinox** Mon Jul 23, 2012 1:43 am

Wayne took the offered paper towel and looed at Sam's face. He grabbed a few more and got them wet before he got to work. Four wet paper towels later Wayne thought Sam's face looked clean enough to pass for the rest of the day. Their faces were pretty close by the end of this so Wayne got a bright idea. HE lightly kissed her on the cheek and then threw the towels away before going back to the bathroom to check on the girl. The girl was engulfed by water but she looked to be good. So he just left her alone. "Someone please let me know when the cake is done," he called to his companions in the kitchen as he took a seat on the toilet to begin his observation of the girl.

by **Rose Hathaway** Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:00 am

Sam blushed as he kissed her cheek, not sure how to react, but thankfully she didn't have to because he left. She made a note to let him know, and turned on the TV to watch something. She ended up watching an episode of Merlin on BBC, periodically checking on the cake during commercials.

Finally, 15 minutes in to the next episode, the cake was ready and she pulled it out of the oven. Unfortunately, she was a moron and forgot to put on the oven mitts, and she banged her hand on the inside of the oven. Sam hissed with pain, setting the cake on the stove and running her hand under the sink. "Cake's done!" She yelled.
