"Yeah..." Simon replied, rubbing his head and opening the front door for Elena. "Can't sleep with all that thunder..."

Kira breathed out, hiding herself behind a tree as she tried to figure out what had just happened. Christina had gotten close...and she panicked and ran. She could still feel the girl, with both Flow sensing and the plants. The odd thing was that she was on the ground...laying really still...oh god.

She started to panic, sinking down to the ground as she was already soaked. What if she had killed her, just because she was stupidly frightened of people? Covering her head in her arms, she tried to think clearly enough to figure out what to do. There were other people in her forest, towards the outskirts, she could sense that easy enough. People from the village, Nathan seemed to be tormenting them again...Kira wished he would stop that. But there was another presence that took her a bit to pin down...Luke. Why would he be here?

Standing up, she decided it didn't matter. He would know what to do. He could help her get Christina back to the village, something she certainly wasn't strong enough to do.

Elena shook her head, stepping inside. "I...I had a nightmare..." she admitted, standing by the door and wringing out her soaked hair and clothes. "I woke up and Erika wasn't around..."

Simon sighed. "Come in, I'll start a fire."

Luke hopped the wall of the village, proving himself again to be quite agile for a cripple, and not knowing that the gates were missing. He strolled through the village, which was mostly empty since most people were looking at what was going on with Nathan, and the rest were busy doing their jobs. He had his Flow on, not worrying about controlling it since he didn't have to focus to boil the raindrops near him.

"Pathetic," he spat, seeing Nathan, Erika and the rest in the distance.

Kira ran after her friend to the edge of the forest, freezing when the grassy plain that surround the village started to form. Did she really want to leave her home so soon? The outside world was scary, and her trip with Nathan didn't do anything to disprove that theory. But, if she didn't get help that girl could die, if she wasn't already dead, and Kira was far to scared to go back by herself. She hesitantly stepped out of the forest, looking back nervously, before bolting towards the village and running through the gates- or lack thereof- after Luke.

Elena nodded gratefully. "Thanks..." she mumbled, chewing her lip as she stood awkwardly in the middle of the room.

Luke began across towards the group, unaware of Kira. He wasn't much good at sensing with the rain distracting him.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:37 pm

"L-Luke!" Kira called out, her voice faltering slightly. She wasn't sure why he was out in the open when it was raining like this, she didn't think it was a good idea for herself, let alone Luke.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:38 pm

"Kira?" Luke replied, turning around, wincing as he dropped his guard slightly. "It never rains but it pours."

by MrMissMrs Random Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:39 pm

"We can settle this another time. When it isn't a thunderstorm." Erika continued to tell Nathan. "Take your ogre and leave."

"Um...a...an umbrella," Kira muttered, looking around anxiously at the village, before growing a stalk with a large leaf at the top, pulling it easily out of the ground and holding it out to Luke. "N-Not much g-g-good, b-but..." she trailed off, biting her lip. "I...I n-need y-your help...pl-please..."

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:43 pm

Luke took it graciously.

"What do you need help with?" he asked warily.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:48 pm

"I...I th-think I...I m-m-might ha-have k-k-killed s-someo-o-one..." Kira stuttered, her tone dropping, quite obviously distraught.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:50 pm

"How?" Luke asked, looking troubled.

by MrMissMrs Random Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:53 pm

Simon moved to put logs in the fireplace when he noticed that Elena was still standing. Not just her hair, but her clothes were completely soaked. "Y-you can b-borrow some dry clothe to if you want..."

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:01 pm

"A...A g-girl f-found m-my house...a-and started...st-started t-talking t-to m-me a-and I...I...I t-told h-her t-t-to g-go away, b-but sh-she d-didn't a-a-and th-then sh-she was cl-climbing up th-the tree I-I w-was in a-and I r-ran a-a-away a-and sh-she...she f-fell out o-of th-the tree a-and sh-she d-didn't move..." Kira explained, her voice rising in hysteria, before finishing rather quietly. She was crying, but it was hard to tell because of the rain.

---

Elena shook her head, sitting down by the fire. "I'm...fine," she said quietly.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:04 pm

"She probably just needs some first aid," Luke shrugged reassuringly. "I don't know any, though. Just some bits and bobs."

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:10 pm

"Pl-Please...j-j-just....j-just...c-come b-b-back with m-me... I-If sh-she's r-r-really h-hurt...I...I..." Kira stammered desperately.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:12 pm

"...Can I ask for some help?" Luke asked, not wanting to let Kira down, but at the same time not wanting to just stand there uselessly.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:14 pm

"Fr-From wh-who...?" Kira asked quietly, her eye flitting around the village. She wished she had been faster, so she could've found Luke before he ventured in here. She didn't like being out of her forest.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:18 pm

"From... I don't know," Luke said, realising that he actually didn't have any friends to ask.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:23 pm

Kira bit her lip. "Th-That's o-okay..." she trailed off, before shaking her head slightly. "I...I d-don't w-wanna b-b-be p-p-pushy...b-but I...I n-need t-to g-g-get o-o-out o-of here..."

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:24 pm

"But what if we arrive there and we watch her dying? With all due respect, Kira, I'm not watching another person die in front of me without being able to help. I can get you out of the rain, but we can't be too careful with someone's life."

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:31 pm

"I...I...cl-claustroph-ph-phobia..." Kira mumbled almost inaudibly, reaching to pull on her jacket before realizing it wasn't there. While the village wasn't particularly crowded, it was definitely more structured than the forest she was used to, and being smack dab in the middle of it wasn't helping. "Wh-Who...?" she repeated, raising her voice back up to its normal level.

by Big Uri Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:33 pm

"I was gonna get Tom and Heidi, actually," Luke said, but he began leading Kira out of the cluster of houses, not knowing which direction was towards the gate but reasonably sure they would come out of the houses if they kept moving in the same direction.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:37 pm

Kira nodded, grasping Luke's hand tightly as she followed him. She momentarily wondered why all of a sudden everyone seemed to be everywhere, but shook it off. At least Luke was here, and getting help.
