J"Erika, wait!" Joey called quickly, before she left.

"I'm not hungry..." Heidi answered, which was mostly the truth. She felt sick to her stomach. If she tried to eat anything, the older teen was sure she would end up throwing it back up.

Elena looked around the church, shivering. She didn't like this place, it was kind of creepy.

by MrMissMrs Random Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:39 pm

Erika stopped and turned. "Yeah-?"

---

Simon frowned, but nodded. "Alright. I'll see you later then..." Before walking off.

"I heard you had tommorow off, so I thought maybe we can have dinner down by the lake." Joey said, after catching up to her.

by MrMissMrs Random Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:47 pm

Erika's eyes widened, before a big smile appeared on her face. "I'd loved to."

Having walked about half a mile out of the village, Heidi slumped into the grass, Flow curling around her. She hoped she was far enough away that no one would hear her. Resting her head against her knees, she started screaming. It was hard, trying to find a vent for all this frustration, and flipping a pocket knife wasn't going to cut it anymore.

Not all of it was about Mary and Benji, she realized after a few minutes of on and off screaming. Tom and Eithne...they'd betrayed her. Why would they defend the likes of Nathan against her? Especially Tom, since they had both promised they'd never be real enemies... Heidi really missed her old friends.

"Good." Joey said, before kissing her real quick. "I'm really looking forward to it."

by MrMissMrs Random Sun Jan 01, 2012 9:51 pm

Erika nodded as she continued to smile, before heading off as well. With my luck the house will be in shambles with her gone... The woman joked.

---

Erika stared for what felt like a very long time at the disordered front room, before walking towards Elena's bedroom, taking a peak, then hers... no Elena. "...Oh, dammit."

by quackers are yummylicious Sun Jan 01, 2012 10:02 pm

Elena walked up to the strange teen who was in the church with her. She'd never seen her before. "Hey, who're you? Did I meet you before and forget again?" she asked, nudging the girl with her foot. Wait, was she crying?

by Book the Hero Sun Jan 01, 2012 10:03 pm

Joey whistled as he walked off to the forest, deciding to make a visit to Gabe and Ven.

Christina looked up. "Hello friend. It's nice to... finally meet you." she sobbed.

by Book the Hero Mon Jan 02, 2012 3:07 am

Joey smiled when he found the Flow mutated beast, known as Gabe, eating in a clearing. "Hey!"

by quackers are yummylicious Mon Jan 02, 2012 9:03 am

Elena frowned. "Oh, so we did meet before?" she sighed. That meant she forgot.

by Stabberz Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:07 pm

They continued riding solidly, and after an hour or so a massive mountain began to come into view. It was shrouded in fog near the top but the ground around it was almost luscious. Home sweet home...

by quackers are yummylicious Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:16 pm

Kira had kept her eyes shut the entire time, though she exhaled slightly when she was able to sense the plants with her Flow. Maybe they'd stop soon. The brunette hoped so, all this fast traveling didn't exactly make her stomach feel good.

by Big Uri Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:07 pm

Luke saw a mountain in the distance, and turned the other way. Too many powerful Flows for it to be good sign. He'd gone this long without human contact, he was sure he could keep it up. He limped along, using a sheathed sword as a walking stick, staying alert of his surroundings. He twitched slightly as another burning wave of pain hit, but he was getting used to them.

------------

Tom slowly dragged himself along the path towards wherever that surge of Flow was. It wasn't where he used to stay, he knew that for sure, so there was the possibility that Nathan was visiting some old enemies. Some of which may be able to tell Tom where to go. He sparked up his own power, moving the path underneath his feet towards where he needed to go, and alerting anyone able to sense Flow as to his position. Tom wasn't particularly good at concealing his strength.

by quackers are yummylicious Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:36 pm

Heidi looked up, sensing someone's Flow. With her own so screwed up, she couldn't sense well, but anyone could feel large bursts of it. This Flow was powerful...maybe Nathan was coming back to strike them while their guard was down? "Dammit..." she hissed, rubbing her face on her sleeve before jumping to her feet and running back towards the village.

by Stabberz Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:42 pm

Nathan brought the horse to a stop almost instantly when he sensed a shattered and fragmented flow. His eyes widened and he turned to Kira. He knew that flow.

"Luke..." he breathed before turning the horse in that direction. "Hold on tight, the speed is going to almost triple." He said brashly.

That was the only warning the girl had before the two shot directly at Luke's position.

by Big Uri Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:44 pm

Luke sensed a powerful Flow coming his way and did what he believed to be the smart thing, sprinting as fast as he could with a crippled leg into the bushes, moving through the thick growth to conceal himself.

-------

Tom moved slightly quicker with the Flow boost, humming one of his favourite songs from before the apocalypse to himself.

by Stabberz Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:48 pm

Nathan's IA eyes easily picked out the bushes moving and brought the horse to a stop. He jumped off and then helped Kira down.

The horse disappeared in an implosion of light and Nathan turned his attention to the bush.

by Big Uri Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:49 pm

Luke sensed the Flow somewhere near and tried to speed up, hobbling quickly and beating any intrusive bushes out of his way with his improvised walking stick.

by quackers are yummylicious Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:50 pm

Kira shrieked, the new speed catching her off guard. Once she regained her senses, or what little she was actually going to get, she realized what Nathan had said. He must've sensed Luke. Focusing her Flow, she realized that he was actually around.

Feeling the horse come to a stop, and her feet back on solid ground, she opened her eyes. "L-Luke...?" she mumbled quietly, the bush becoming harder to crawl through as it ensnared Luke.

---

Heidi was almost to the village, trying to figure out where the Flow was coming from. It seemed to be getting stronger as she ran towards the village, but she couldn't pinpoint an exact location. How close was Nathan?

by Big Uri Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:54 pm

Tom sensed another Flow dimly. Someone was looking for him. He merely shrugged, confident it wasn't a problem, and continued on his way, humming louder.

--------

Luke was caught up in the bushes, witnessing a magically disappearing horse through the undergrowth. He thought he heard Kira's voice, but then, he had heard all sorts of voices before, most of which weren't actually there. He'd had more convincing hallucinations than this one, he reflected. He also elected to stay silent.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:55 pm

Adeline was at the front gate, as she also sensed Tom's Flow. "...This is gonna be a long day..."

by Stabberz Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:57 pm

"Luke!" Nathan called getting himself into a ready position. "Come out of there."
