Re: Runic

James walked back into the building, sneezing, as he began to walk back up the stairs. Many thoughts rushed through his head as he walked up to the apartment, now that everything had calmed down. Tonight solidified in his head that he wouldn't be able to just live a normal life anymore. Any thoughts of leading a normal teenage life, while keeping his runic powers a secret, were dashed.

...And didn't even know whether to be excited, or horrified.

Wayne rose up from the toilet and the sound of Sam's voice saying the cake was done. The girl in the tub was still sleeping, and likely recovering. The smell quickly drew him to kitchen where he saw that Sam had burned herself. "Cltuz," he whispered under his breath as he got out strawberries and coolwhip from the refrigerator. After putting the stuff down by the cake he leaned back on a counter and crossed his arms while looking at Sam. "Do you need me to get you some Aloe Vera to help with that burn? Or would you like a band-aid or something?"

"No, I'm fine." She said, not meeting his eyes. Sam cut the water off and picked up a cloth towel from the handle of the oven to dry it off gently. It stung to the touch, and she clenched her teeth. She then decided to get out a plastic bag and some ice before wrapping it up in a paper towel and letting it sit for a few minutes.

Isabella was sitting at the table, staring at her locket. She traced the red Ouroboros and tried opening it again, but it was still locked. She looked for a keyhole, but there was none.
When Sam burned herself, Isabella chuckled. "Clumsy, much?"

A little after Wayne left, some splashing could be heard from the bathroom. The little girl opened her eyes and pulled herself out of the tub, making a real mess in the bathroom. She sighed and the water began to rise off herself and the floor and floated into the tub. However, she ended up drying in the process. Her entire body became blue and semi-transparent, just like water. If one looked closely they would see the outline of her skeleton and organs.
The girl poked her head out of the bathroom, attracted by the smell of cake.

Wayne heard the splashing sounds coming from the bathroom and he looked just in time to see the girl poke her head out from the bathroom door. She didn't look afraid really, maybe a little confused if anything. "My name is Wayne," he began to tell the girl, "A friend of mine brought you here after you went unconcious. You're safe here and free to stay as long as you wish. Just don't eat all of my cake." Wayne kept looking and noticed she was looking like water again. "One more thing, try not to be so transparenty, it's a little creepy."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Jul 23, 2012 2:03 pm

The girl shied away when Wayne said that she looked creepy. That's what her mother and sister said before they brought her to that alleyway, before that girl turned into a witch and killed that woman. Tears began to form in the little girl's eyes.

"Ah crap," Wayne said as he noticed the girl start to cry. He didn't know what to do so he just grabbed some cake and put some Cool Whip and strawberries on it to give to her. Taking the plate of cake and a fork he walked over to the little girl and offered her the cake. "Sorry for making you cry. Here have some cake. I hope you like strawberries on it." Hopefully this would make things a little better and alliviate how much of a douche he felt like right now.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Tue Jul 24, 2012 9:25 pm

The little girl rubbed her eyes, trying to stop the tears. Seeing the piece of cake, she cautiously took the plate and stared at it. She frowned and flicked off the strawberry, being careful not to knock it on the floor. "Um...sorry," she said, her voice barely audible. She looked up past Wayne, spotting Isabella and Sam.

Isabella stared at the girl in awe. She really was like the Agua Bendita...

There was a knock on the door before James entered the room. Sighing he turned to his friends, and noticed the girl was out from the tub. "Oh hey...are you feeling any better?" He asked the girl, walking over to them.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jul 25, 2012 12:13 am

Sam looked at the little girl in awe, trying not to say anything and make her cry like Wayne did. "It's alright, little one. What's your name?" she asked. She didn't dare come closer and overwhelm the child. It might make her cry again.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jul 25, 2012 12:26 am

"Um...um..." The little girl looked around at all the teens, a bit overwhelmed by their presence. She wasn't used to being around so many older people. "Y-yeah...My name is Xyriel Cristi..."

"Cristi?" Isabella raised an eyebrow. She heard that name before, probably a year ago in the news. She couldn't remember exactly who Cristi was or what he did, though.

by **blackoutEquinox** Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:01 am

Wayne was happy that the little girl had stopped crying. He didn't feel like such a dick anymore. He stood up and walked over to the kitchen again and stood next to Sam. "Well this should be interesting. I think I remember her from somewhere but I can't quite place her name." He looked back over to Xyriel and motioned for her to come to the kitchen. "There's more cake over here for you if you want. Just don't eat the last piece."

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:04 am

Sam got her own slice of cake and ate it quietly while she thought. She had seen the girl before too. Where was it...? "Oh!" she said suddenly. "She was at the hospital when we were leaving! She was being wheeled in!" And she could see why she had left.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jul 26, 2012 12:58 pm

Xyriel sat down at the kitchen table and began to peck at the cake, being careful to not touch the strawberries. She either really hated strawberries, or was allergic to them, who knew. She quickly finished and went up to get more cake.

"Huh? Really?" Isabella asked when she heard Sam. "I was thinking about that Cristi guy from a year ago...I forgot what he did, but I remember that he he was all over the news."

by **blackoutEquinox** Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:04 pm

"I don't keep up with major news," Wayne began to tell the others. "I still have Runic contacts in a couple major cities and the hunters that were on my side and they tell me if they need help with stuff. So yeah someone please tell me about this Cristi guy." Wayne saw Xyriel go get some more cake so it was past time for Wayne to get some too. HE walked over to the cake and cut himself a piece out and put strawberries and cool whip on his piece. Strawberry cake is awesome and tastes awesome.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jul 26, 2012 4:36 pm

"I dunno...He was a doctor or something. And he was...murdered? God, I don't remember." Isabella shrugged. Even if it had nothing to do with the current situation, she knew that this was gonna bother her later if she doesn't remember.

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jul 26, 2012 5:59 pm

"Um.... Isabella, if they are related, I'm not sure it's good to talk about this in front of her...." Sam said quietly and warily. She didn't want the little water girl to cry, because that would be yet another problem on their hands.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jul 26, 2012 7:06 pm

"Oh. Um..." Isabella fumbled around awkwardly and looked over at the little girl, checking to see if she was listening in.

Xyriel paid no attention to them, as she was more focused on eating that cake.

by **blackoutEquinox** Sat Jul 28, 2012 11:04 pm

Wayne had sat on the couch and brought his knees up into his chest. Some people thought he was weird for sitting like this but they are wrong. This is the only way to sit and eat cake. "You know Isabella that was pretty smooth of you. I'm going to give you a strawberry as a reward." and with that Wayne took his strawberry off his cake and tossed it to Isabella. Wayne then looked at the little girl. "Xyriel if you haven't eaten before this then you should probably get something more to eat than cake."

by **Rose Hathaway** Sat Jul 28, 2012 11:40 pm

"Wayne's right. Cake isn't exactly the best thing to fill you up with. You need more substance than that. Good thing we just went grocery shopping." Sam smiled.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sat Jul 28, 2012 11:47 pm

"Oh, um...Sure!" Xyriel said cheerfully. She pulled herself out of her chair and went up to Sam in the kitchen. "What's there to eat?"

Isabella didn't even try to catch the strawberry. It hit her face and she winced, letting fall into her lap. "Ew. Strawberries," she said in disgust.

by **blackoutEquinox** Sat Jul 28, 2012 11:56 pm

"How can you hate strawberries? They are amazingly delicious bearers of fruit." And with that Wayne finished his piece of cake. HE rose up and put the plate in the sink and began to clean it. He wondered if he needed to call anyone about Xyriel, or if she had someone she could call. If push came to shove he could just bail out or possibly bribe out. This little Runic girl was very special, even for Runics. Wayne decided to bring this up to her after she had finished eating.

by **Rose Hathaway** Sun Jul 29, 2012 12:27 am

"Let's see.. we have salad, sandwiches, cereal, soup, and eggs. That's all the stuff that's good for lunch. What would you like?" Sam asked, smiling slightly. She loved children, they somehow managed to make everything really happy or really sad. They were mood changers.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Sun Jul 29, 2012 12:40 am

"Um...Eggs, please," Xyriel said politely. Hearing Wayne, she stuck her tongue out at him. "Strawberries are gross. And cherries, raspberries, peaches..." She continued to list off different kinds of fruit she did not like, which were a lot.

Isabella sighed and smiled at the girl. "What kind of fruit do you like?"

"Watermelons. Oh, and apples." The water girl gave Isabella a firm nod. "Yeah, watermelons are the best."

by **Rose Hathaway** Sun Jul 29, 2012 1:08 am

"Because they're high in water content." Sam acknowledged. "How do you like your eggs, Xyriel? Scrambled? Do you want cheese?" she asked, pulling out the eggs and a bowl along with a frying pan.
