Re: Runic

[Book the Hero]

"Oh, really?" James asked, guessing she could somehow sense him, even though he could not, before noticing her irritation. "Is something wrong?"

[Shadoe Mayari]

"No, no, nothing's wrong," Isabella laughed nervously. Maybe it had something to do with that stuff that Witch was ranting about, who knows.

[Book the Hero]

"Are you sure, cause if there is, you know you can trust me, right?" James said, he said as he picked up a nearby shirt, and put it on. He briefly wondered how long it would take for him to lose this one...

[Shadoe Mayari]

"I know," Isabella said, hugging her knees. "But really, it's nothing." She didn't even know what the problem was, or what exactly was irritating her.

[Book the Hero]

"Can you at least tell me about it?" James asked, as he got ready for the day. He was worried about the girl, and she had been acting strange lately. He wished he knew what that Witch did to her yesterday.

[Shadoe Mayari]

"...No. Sorry." Isabella sighed. If she didn't understand it, why would James? She might end up asking Kaizo or Andrew about it, if she could find them. Or Wayne, maybe he might know.

[Book the Hero]

James nodded. "I see...well, if you ever do figure it out, maybe you can tell me about it sometime." He said with a smile, before heading for the door. "Come on, let's get to Wayne's.

[Shadoe Mayari]

"Y-yeah," Isabella said, trying to stand up. Her balance was a bit off and she had to lean on something for support.

[Book the Hero]

Noticing that she was a bit wobbly, James ran over, and allowed her to lean on him. "Need some help?" He asked.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Isabella bit her lip and nodded, clinging to James's arm and leaning on him. Her legs were aching now that she was standing up, but she didn't let it show. She didn't want him to get too worried.

[Book the Hero]

"Kay, let's get going." James said, leading her to the door. He was still worried about her. Yesterday must have really shaken her up, all things considering.

"This is what you can get when you have good connections and excellent funding. I even have a few people who I can call for back-up if it comes to a really bad situation." He stopped talking to grab the gun from Sam and then continued. "But don't get any ideas that experience means you won't die. All it takes is one hit in the right place and anyone will go down. Experience just means you'll be able to kill a few more bad guys before you go down. I'm just going to teach you how to shoot pistols though, nothing else."

[Rose Hathaway]

"Why just pistols? And will I have to start carrying one around?" she asked, pulling her knees up on the bed and sitting crosslegged. She knew she had potential to die, even movies tell you that. She wasn't stupid. But his words made her even more nervous.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Kaizo sighed and quietly left. He could feel Isabella's presence get even closer, and he really wanted to kill the girl right then.

Isabella felt as if her legs were gonna give away any second. Just bare with it, you've gone through worse, she told herself.

[blackoutEquinox]

"I don't want you to think that you can rush into a full-scale warzone thinking that just because you can shoot a rifle means that you're more likely to live. You'll be carrying a pistol around for emergencies only. And you won't be coming with me if we ever have to deal with a Runic that hasn't amubushed us." Wayne took his knife, threw in the extra mags to where they belonged, and then proceeded to put the wall panel back where it belonged. "Any questions for right now?"

[Rose Hathaway]

"What if I'm really good at shooting and I just don't know it yet? Then can I come with you?" she asked. "And warzones aren't my cup of tea anyway. You probably won't see me rushing anywhere." Sam rolled her eyes.

[blackoutEquinox]

"If you'll be that good maybe. It won't be anytime soon though. This is a skill that takes time to learn. Don't get your hopes up about coming with me on anything dangerous though." Wayne grabbed Sam's hands and held them as he said, "If anything happened to you because of me I would never be able to forgive myself."

[Rose Hathaway]

Sam stared into his eyes, and she knew he meant it. She hugged pulled her hands away and hugged him tightly. "I'll try my best not to get killed." she said into his shoulder.

[Book the Hero]

James helped Bell out of his room, and towards the door out of his apartment. It was at this point that he heard two pairs of foot steps, footsteps that he recognized. "Shit, my parents are back. Hide!" He said, panicking, before rushing her and him into a nearby closet. It was a very small space, which only barely fitted them, but they were able to get all the way in, and shut the door, before his parents opened the door.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Isabella yelped as she was pulled into the closet. Well this is awkward. She let go of his arm and tried to lean on the side of the closet. She was starting to get quite uncomfortable here in this small space.

[Book the Hero]

"Shhh..." James said whispering to the girl, as his parents entered the apartment.

"Finally...the night is over." The voice of a man could be heard, as he walked nearby, while his walked to the fridge, and opened it.

"Damnit, the boy forgot the damn eggs." His mother muttered, the sound of stuff being moved from within the fridge was let out.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Isabella whimpered, covering her mouth to keep her from making even more noise. She was shivering now, fearing that they might be found. They just needed to hang tight for little while. Just a little while.

[Book the Hero]

James was silent as his parents began making themselves breakfast. He hoped they didn't open the closet door. He wondered what they would do if they found him there, with a girl.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Isabella shuddered, hearing footsteps all around. She could smell food and her stomach growled. Right, she still hasn't eaten yet. She whimpered, holding her belly.

[Book the Hero]

James winced when she heard her stomach growl. He couldn't blame the girl, but they were now in a very dangerous situation...

It was at this point his father laid down on the nearby couch, flinging his shoes off. One shoe went astray, and hit the closet door.
