Re: Runic

James huffed, trying to catch his breath, exhausted, and still weak, even as he runes tried to heal him, before starring at the lady with an extremely defiant look. "Honestly lady...I'm all out of fucks to give right now."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Aug 06, 2012 1:41 pm

The Witch smiled, walked up to James, and kissed the boy's forehead. A stamp-like mark appeared and his Runes stopped healing him. They began to spread on his arm at an abnormal rate.

The angel laughed and curled up in Isabella's lap. The girl wrapped her fingers around one of the knives, but she could barely lift her arm to stab the thing.

by Book the Hero Mon Aug 06, 2012 1:43 pm

"What...the..." James said, when the runes on his arms began to spread, the healing have stopped. "Isa...bella...run...." He said, going to his knees, due to the most recent change of events.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:00 pm

"I'm not leaving you!" Isabella said, lifting the knife and stabbing the angel. Green blood splattered all over her. A large stab wound appeared on the Witch's chest, which she most definitely felt. Angered, Isabella continued to stab the angel until she knew it was dead. The strange green blood was splattered all over her and the chair.

The Witch lay dead in the middle of the stage, surrounded by a pool of blood. Her body and the barrier faded away, leaving the two Runics in the park in the normal world. Isabella began healing again, but very slowly. She collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

by Book the Hero Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:03 pm

James also collapsed, relief in his mind that the witch was dead, and Isabella was free. He tried to move, but found it extremely difficult, but he couldn't just lose consciousness now. Those two from earlier might try and take her while he was passed out. Ignoring the screaming protests of his body, he stood, and picked the girl up, bridal style, before slowly making his way back out of the park.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:17 pm

"...Sorry," Isabella said, awkwardly looking down at the ground.

"Oh hey, they actually managed to get out," Michael observed. "Let's go, Rei-"
Before he could finished, he was yanked back by several bandages, which may have also strangled him to death, if Andrew didn't butt in. "No killing."
Kaizo rolled his eyes. He really hated hunters, and he absolutely despised taking orders from Andrew. "Yeah, yeah," he said, detaching the bandages from his arms.
An hour later, on the news, two high school students were found hung by their feet on the roof of a certain hotel. They were still alive, but they had several bruises on their bodies, probably from a rough fight.

"Not...your fault..." James said, wincing a little, but smiled at the girl. His body was slowly trying to heal itself, Isabella could probably notice that the shock burns on his upper body were already starting to clear up, due to being shirtless. "I don't need an apology...I'm just glad...you're ok..."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:38 pm

Isabella sighed, closed her eyes, and smiled. He's a lot like him... I guess that can be a good thing. She brought her hand up to her neck, realizing that she wasn't wearing her locket. Oh well, she'll ask about it later.

by Book the Hero Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:42 pm

"Oh yeah..." James said, before retrieving something from his pocket, careful not to drop the girl. He pulled out, and handed the girl the locket he had found earlier that day. "I believe this is yours?"

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:59 pm

Isabella nodded, picking the locket up by the chain. "Yeah. A friend of mine gave this to me a while back. It's precious to me." She frowned, remembering what exactly happened to this friend of her's.

by Book the Hero Mon Aug 06, 2012 3:03 pm

"Oh?" James said, but choose not to probe her on the subject. He wasn't going to take her to the hospital, due to their runes, and since Wayne was in the hospital, his place was out as well. There was only one place left: His place.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Aug 06, 2012 6:00 pm

Isabella sighed and looked up into the cloudy sky. She was glad to be finally out of that hell hole. She looked at her clothes, seeing how torn up and bloodstained they were. She'll have to change later. Well, at least her jacket was fine. She liked that jacket.

by **blackoutEquinox** Mon Aug 06, 2012 11:13 pm

"You should get back to the apartment and get some rest. Make sure to lock up tight though." And with that Wayne tried to get some sleep. Maybe when he woke up his head would be clean enough to think up a plan.

Sam sighed as he closed his eyes. With one final kiss to his cheek, she stood up and left the hospital, knowing she'd be lonely for the night. She'd gotten used to having him around, being in his apartment, but not having him there was weird. At least he'd come back. Missing him for a few nights was better than having him die. But with her luck she'd been having, and quite frankly that everyone else had too, he may not be there for her in the morning. And that was one of her biggest fears.

As she strode silently throught the early evening, her stomach growled. She should stop for some food, and it was nice she had some cash Wayne had always left her with as an emergency. The next few streets up revealed a Subway. Food was an emergency. And the apartment was over a mile away. Yes, she'd stop for some food.

So Sam continued to walk toward the white and yellow sign until she was suddenly grabbed by someone in an alley. A dirty man, from the looks of it a hobo.

Or a wanted criminal. Her father.

"Well, look at this girly. Did he leave you on the street without your shirt? Or did you leave it at your last client's hotel room?" he grinned evilly, his foul smelling breath making her gag. "Well it doesn't matter now. Because the street corners will have one less hooker standing on them tonight." he said, and finally stabbed her in her diaphragm with a knife he had been hiding before dropping her on the ground in a heap and walking away.

She couldn't breath. She felt dizzy with blood loss. She knew this was it. She'd fade to black, and that was the end. No one would look for her here. "Wayne... I'm... sorry.." she whispered before her eyes drooped and then there was nothing.

by Book the Hero Tue Aug 07, 2012 12:22 am

James carried her back to the apartment building, climbing the stairs to the top floor, and entering his own place. "Since Wayne's at the hospital, we can't go to his place, so I thought it'd be better if we came here."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:05 am

"Fucking asshole," Kaizo said, having his bandages wrap around Sam's father's neck. "That dickface Andrew isn't here, so nothing's holding me back now." He hanged the man on the gutter of a nearby building. This was gonna be on the news, for sure.
He knelt down next to Sam's body, wrapping her wound with his bandages. Maria should be able to heal her. He picked her up bridal style and headed back to the place he was staying.

---

"Oh..." Isabella frowned, trying to recall what happened before she fell into the barrier. "What happened?"

---

Xyriel quietly sneaked into Wayne's room, her guardian (who is probably the coolest guardian she had ever had) keeping watch from outside and making sure no one saw the water girl. She sat down next to the bed and poked the teen's nose.

by Book the Hero Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:11 am

"Wayne got stabbed, and was sent to the hospital, Sam went with him, so he should be ok." He said with a reassuring smile, laying her down on the bed in his room. His parents never came in there, so they were good, even if they came back tonight. "I'll sleep on the floor tonight, try to rest up." He said with a smile.

by **blackoutEquinox** Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:25 am

Wayne was rudely awakened from his dream about chocolate cows by a poke on his nose. He mumbled something about his dream before rubbing his eyes to see who it was. "Hey Xyriel, nice of you to come visit me. How's everything going for you?"

by **Shadoe Mayari** Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:46 am

If Isabella could move, she would be fumbling around awkwardly. It was strange, being laid down in someone else's bed. Well, she did used to sneak into George's bed back when she was young and innocent, but...

---

"It's been fun! Miss Lisa is awesome!" Xyriel said, smiling. "She told me that you were here, so I wanted to visit you."

---

When Sam woke up, she would've found herself laying down on a couch in a average sized house. She would have felt no pain and her stab wound was completely gone, as if it never happened. Kaizo sat on the couch leg, watching her. His Runes have grown quite a bit since last time, now they covered most of his neck and his right eye. "Hey, Mari, Dickface, she's awake," he said, before smiling. "Mornin'."

by **blackoutEquinox** Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:51 am

"That sounds like a blast to me kid." Wayne reached out to try and mess up Xyriel's hair but winced in pain when he did. "Xyriel do you think you could do a favor for me? I'm hurt and there's stuff I need to do soon so if you could do you think you could patch me up? You'll be my hero forever."

by Book the Hero Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:53 am

James just smiled at the girl, before laying down on the floor next to the bed, so as to get some shut eye. Tomorrow, they would check on how the others were doing, but right now, they needed to rest.

by **Rose Hathaway** Tue Aug 07, 2012 1:57 am

Sam stirred from her unconsciousness and finally gained enough strength to open her eyes, to see Kaizo smiling at her.

What? Kaizo could smile?

She sat up slowly and put a hand over the area where the wound was, only to find it gone. "What? What happened? Why aren't I dead? Or am I dead and so are you?" she asked, meeting his eyes. "And where have you been?"

by **Shadoe Mayari** Tue Aug 07, 2012 2:03 am

"Um... Miss Lisa said I shouldn't use my power unless it's an emergency, but..." Xyriel cracked the door open to tell Lisa what she was doing. She went back to Wayne and moved so her head was over his wound and forced herself to cry. Her tears hit his wound, healing it. "Is that enough?" she asked. She was getting dizzy now.

---

"You'll be surprised at what we Runics can do," Maria said, sitting down across from Sam. Andrew came in as well, not wearing his ridiculously heavy coat for once. He went into the kitchen without a word, making himself a cup of coffee.

Kaizo shrugged. "I had stuff to do. We had to deal with a couple of hunters earlier."

by Book the Hero Tue Aug 07, 2012 2:09 am

OOC: Timeskip to next morning, seeing as it's now morning for Sam?

---

Hours later, James stirred in his sleep, now completely healed after yesterdays events. "Mmm..." He mumbled, before sitting up, and rubbing his eyes, wondering where he was, before remembering. He turned to the bed, to see if Isabella was still there.

by **blackoutEquinox** Tue Aug 07, 2012 2:32 am

Wayne felt better the instant Xyriel's tears hit his wound. All that was left was a faint scar. He looked around for his pants and quickly put them on and took off his patient gown. His shirt was trashed but his jacket was holding up quite nicely. After fumbling around in his jacket for a moment he took out several large bills and put them on his bed with a note that said, "I was never here. This never happened." He opened the door and held it open, "You're my hero Xyriel. We should probably leave now though."

++++++++++++++++

Wayne's night had been exhausting. He had to hack into the hospital computers to erase all of his information and then had to go do the same thing at the police station. The newspaper editors will be easy to pay off when he got to it. The only exhausting part was finding out that Sam wasn't in the apartment when he got there so finding her had been really stressful and he hadn't found her. He was however able to find his father's gun in the police station. Their security was a joke. As the sun rose over the city Wayne let out a sigh and stood up from the lawn chair on the roof of his building, "Where are you Sam?"
