Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 1

[Stabberz]

"Maybe if you kept your team-mate under control." Nathan retorted, a flash of his former anger surfacing before he could control it.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"You said something to make her upset, even though I don't agree with how she reacted, you have just as much blame on not thinking about her feelings." Erika growled, the wolf finally able to drag Heidi back next to her. "I will not negotiate if you tend to play mind games."

[quackers are yummylicious]

"I-I was only twelve!" Heidi protested weakly, her spear clattering to the ground. "I...I..." She pulled out her pocket knife, flipping the blade in and out furiously, chewing on her lip. "You d-don't know anything!" She yanked her shirt out of the wolf's grip, tearing it a little.

Elena peered out at the antics from behind a building, trying to remember where she'd seen the dark haired boy before.

[Stabberz]

"Fine. Specify your terms." Nathan spat. He caused all of the beasts to implode and disappear, leaving both him and Kira on their own. If this turns violent, I'm using Darkness.

[MrMissMrs Random]

The wolf had also dissappeared as Erika put a hand on Heidi's arm. "For starters, with any of our 'chats', the place we have them will have to be neutral ground after this. You will be at least half a mile away from this village, and vice versa from where your camp is."

[quackers are yummylicious]

Kira inched behind Nathan, a little scared of pretty much everyone in attendance. Nathan was the least scary, though, and the one most likely to be on her side.

Heidi didn't react much to Erika, in fact she seemed to stop paying attention to most of the going-ons. She kept muttering to herself, flipping the pocket knife blade.

[Stabberz]

"Fine." Nathan said. "We'll start that after you tell me what I want to know."

"You've made your first term, here's mine: I only come into contact with you, Joey or Ade."

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika looked over at Kira, a little disappointed that she went back to the man so easily. But, not my problem right now, this is...

"I'll agree to some of those terms... we will not come to the meetings alone, but any back up that we have will be a safe enough distance not to hear our negotiations." I don't feel like meeting you all by myself just to get jumped, moron...

[Stabberz]

"Fair." Nathan murmured.

"Term number two: Kira won't be touched, regardless of my actions."

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Done," Erika nodded. "This goes as well for any innocent inhabitant of this village."

[Stabberz]

Nathan hesitated and clenched his fist. "None of them will come under any direct harm from me." He said forcing some calm into his voice.

"Now... do you have any news at all of Luke?" he asked his gaze never falling on one person once.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"What, you wanna finish what you started?" Heidi spoke up, seemingly having mostly recovered from the shock. "I haven't seen him in years. Maybe he got himself killed."

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika had to agree with Heidi on this one. "It's true, we haven't seen him."

[Stabberz]

"When was the last time you saw him?" Nathan asked carefully. "Or heard story's about him?"

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi frowned. "Was it three years ago...? I dunno. Some passerby was telling stories about a guy who fought with fire. It could be Luke, but he was pretty vague."

[Stabberz]

Nathan's head shot in Heidi's direction. "Where!?"

[quackers are yummylicious]

"It was a story he was telling to the kids. There was like...a dragon in a lake or something far-fetched like that... Not much of a lead. Not too many outsiders pop by, 'nd this guy was pretty nuts. Th' kids liked 'im well enough..." Heidi shrugged, pausing every once in a while to think.

[Stabberz]

Nathan growled and darkness exploded in an upwards spiral around him. With quick concentration he got it under control and frowned.

"Is there anything else that might help?"

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika felt herself shake when the darkness dispersed, and a very large dragon appeared behind Erika and Heidi, letting out a vicous roar... before dispersing once more.

"...I apologize." The woman replied, her business-like tone returning.

[Stabberz]

"It's fine, the sentiments are shared." Nathan said as an apology for his outbreak of darkness.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Kira backed away from Nathan when the darkness shot up, clutching her jacket tightly.

"I can't think of anything..." Heidi sighed, tightening her grip on her spear when the darkness shot up, before looking over at Erika. "You remember anything?"

Elena squeaked when the black haired man exploded with shadows, ducking back behind the building. She still didn't remember where she'd seen him, but he definitely wasn't as friendly as Erika or Heidi.

[Rose Hathaway]

Christina really did not want to go to the church. She wasn't liking this village very much, and it didn't look like they liked her very much. She could tell they had been through a lot, all together, and they had some form of bond, a bond which she did not share. More than anything now, she wanted to go home. But did she even have one? Would she ever have one? Would she ever be able to settle down for once? At the rate at which everything was going, it looked like she never would. She huddled in a corner, and for once, since her parents died, she cried.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"I think... he said something about him going North..." Erika replied. "I'm not sure if this is correct..."

[Stabberz]

"Thanks..." Nathan said calmly before firing a light into the sky. It split again and two normal looking horses appeared in front of him and Kira. Sparks danced around their mouth's and hooves.

"We best be going now."

[MrMissMrs Random]

Erika nodded. "Please infrom us when you wish to stop by again."
