Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 1

"They won't let you stay unless you come with one of us," Adeline said.

[Stabberz]

"Are you okay?" Nathan asked carefully as they sped towards the village at almost break neck speeds. The hawk had some kind of flow that stopped those on its back from being affected.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Kira squeezed her eyes shut, trying not to look down at the landscape whizzing by. "W-We'll g-g-get th-there s-s-soon...r-right...?" she asked, figuring she could deal with this for a few more minutes. When she had her eyes closed she could barely tell they were moving.

[Stabberz]

"Two minutes." Nathan promised.

By now everyone at the village could see the Hawk darting at them on the horizon.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Kira nodded slightly, figuring she'd be good for two minutes unless the hawk caught on fire or something.

Heidi glanced outside only to see the giant bird. "Well, fuck," she swore, turning back to Simon and Elena. "Change of plans, barricade the door again. He's back." She stepped outside, closing the door behind her and running back to the gates.

[Stabberz]

Two minutes later the hawk touched down inside the village just in front of the gate. Four orbs of light split to reveal four ten foot gorilla's that had flames for fur and pure black skin. The hawk took up a stance behind Nathan as he jumped down and then used the darkness to slowly bring Kira back to solid ground.

"They'll be here soon, and then we can arrange a meeting." He said. With a quick hand gesture the gorilla's stood on either side of him and Kira. Two on each.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Heidi, stay." Simon yelled, but it was too late.

---

Erika saw all this. "It took him that short of a time to convince her..." The woman sighed, before heading back to the gate, hoping Adeline had gotten Christina to the Church and would be able to meet them there.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"O-Okay..." Kira mumbled, relieved to be on solid ground. She inched away from the gorillas, a bit scared of their flaming fur. She wasn't sure what Flow this was, but Nathan definitely didn't have it when she'd last seen him.

Heidi skidded to a stop once the gates came into view. "You just couldn't leave 'er alone, could y'?" she asked, rolling her eyes.

Elena grinned at Simon once Heidi was gone. "Wanna go out and watch? It'll be fun!" she giggled.

[Stabberz]

Nathan raised an eyebrow at Heidi before folding his arms. "We need to speak with either you, Erika or Ade. Preferably all if you." He said, his glance falling back on Kira to check to see if she was ok.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Erika 'nd Ade'll prob'ly be coming along shortly," Heidi stated briskly. "They c'n sense Flow pretty well."

Kira flinched back when Heidi arrived, recalling that she was the particularly loud and rude one. She didn't really like the idea of meeting up with the other survivors after she'd put herself through four years of solitude.

[Stabberz]

"Are we going to be attacked by anyone whilst we're here?" Nathan asked carefully his eyes focusing on Heidi. "And I'd also prefer it if as little people as possible get too close to Kira."

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Oh, sure, I can tell if someone'll attack you two. Just let me read your palm," Heidi answered with sarcastic cheer, rolling her eyes. "And I'm not gonna stop anyone from showin' up just so 'yer little trophy doesn't have a heart attack. Toughen up."

[Stabberz]

"Heidi, I can level this village in one attack if I wanted to. I asked for one thing, how many people will I have to kill before you act like a more inviting hostess." He raised his hand and all of his flow beasts disappeared in implosions of lights.

Turning to Kira he shot her a concerned look. "Are you okay?"

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi clenched her spear tightly in her hands, wisps of Flow snaking off of her. "Hostess? What, you want me to fetch some tea?" she asked, laughing loudly as her Flow started to take over again.

Kira paled a little at Nathan's threat. "Y-You w-w-wouldn't...r-really...?" she asked quietly, tugging at her jacket as she took a step back.

[Stabberz]

"No, what I want is you to stop being a petty little bitch." Nathan responded calmly. He wouldn't really destroy the village, but he needed something. "Now either you send someone to fetch someone who won't let their power control them, or you back down."

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Sorry, Nate, but last time I checked I didn't have to play nice with murderers," Heidi answered, giggling. "I have complete control over my Flow, too, stupid." It was quite obvious she didn't.

[Stabberz]

"And you've never killed anyone?" Nathan asked with a smirk, almost as if he knew something that he shouldn't. Regardless of that, I'd rather not get into a fight we're simply here for a talk and I don't want to do it out in the open."

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Honestly, couldn't you have waited until after I got my Asprin?" Erika groaned as she walked next to Heidi, when she noticed the Gorillas she stared blankly at them. "...Really?"

---

"Sure," Simon nodded, he didn't want to miss what happened.

[Shadoe Mayari]

Adeline dragged Christina all the way to the church. "Stay here," she muttered when she saw the hawk. "If I find out that you wandered off on your own, I'll beat the living shit out of you." She turned and headed back to the gate.

[Stabberz]

"Same thing I said to the Bloody Snark, pardon the pun. Princess." Nathan said to the woman. "We don't get attacked, and the only people who we have to deal with are you, Ade and Heidi." He raised a hand up and the Gorilla's knelt on one knee in a position of standing down.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Nathan's question finally snapped Heidi. She lunged at him, her spear stopping an inch from his stomach. "What did you find out?!" she demanded angrily, not wanting the likes of him to know anything about her past.

Kira squeaked, jumping backwards when Heidi attacked.

Elena giggled excitedly. "Let's go, then!" she exclaimed, running towards the gates.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Heidi!" Erika yelled, a large wolf appeared, jumping at the girl and pulling her back by the back of her shirt.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Let me go, Erika," Heidi hissed, whacking the wolf with the shaft of her spear.

[Stabberz]

Nathan merely smirked at the antics.

He moved forward instantly and appeared within Heidi's guard and his head near her ear. "Mary... Benji..." He breathed before retreating backwards with the beasts all surrounding him and Kira.

"I'm not here to fight..." He said to the three leaders of the village.

[MrMissMrs Random]

Thw wolf growled at the whacking, but stayed firm as it started to back up, dragging the girl along with her. "This isn't the way to have a decent conversation, both of you."

Simon followed Elena to the gates, careful that they wouldn't be seen.
