Erais ran through the gates of the school. Tripping over a tree root, she could feel blood run down her leg as she got up. She limped over to the huge rock. She sat down on it. Taking out some bandages. She cupped her hands. Water began to trickle onto her knee. She washed it, cleaned the wound. Wrapping a bandage around it, she looked up. Seeing those eyes from her dreams. She paniced. They dissapeared.

"Soin, where are you?" panic was obvious in her voice.

Her hands began to shake, it was so dark. She looked around, trying to spot the two. She couldn't see either one. It seemed darker then usual.

OOC: What kind of fiction is this (fantasy,general,horror,etc.) and i need a little more information.

OOC: So far fiction/adventure. It might change on later.

Raign looked at the girl. "Calm down I'm Raign, who are you?" He asked trying to figure out what was the matter with her. "Don't struggle." he said but she seemed to be in another world. "What do i do now." Raign thought. "I can't leave her hear, i have to call for help." Raign thought. "HELP, HELP, SOMEBODY HELP!" Raign yelled but he recieved no reply.

The person who was hunting her down had put a veil over her eyes. She couldn't see any light.

"Who?" She asked, failing to sound brave.

She reached out, trying to feel for Soin. She sat back down on the rock, realizing her eyes were clouded over. Where did you go Soin. Stricken with worry, she sat on the rock not moving.

"Soin. Blake." She shouted.

She tried to counter spell the cloudyness.

"Who are you?" She asked.

Soin saw Erias siting on a rock a man standing infront of her. He snuck up behind he man and hit him in the head with a stick he found on the ground, the man fell like a limp rag doll.
"are you ok?" he asked Erias calming her down.

"I can't see, someone put a eye clouding shield on my eyes." Relieved to hear his voice. "Where are you?" She asked.

She felt for him, trying to place his voice. Her eyes began to uncloud. She could see his faint out line. She then huged him. Realief all over her face.

OOC: Under pressure fomr sister to get on. G2G.

Raign struggled to his feet. "What are you doing. I was trying to help her!" Raign yelled as he rubbed his aching head, but the man just seemed interested in the girl who was lying on the ground. Raign wondered what could be wrong with her. "Hey you are Erais and Soin aren't you? I'ver heard alot about you, but first you wait here i will get help." said Raign as he ran into the school.

Soin looked up "No you are mastaken" he said picking Erias up and setting her gently next to a tree, "What are you doing scaring her like that?" he asked Raign holding his stick in his right hand.

OOC-sorry it's a bit short

"I didn't scare her she was like that when i found her." Raign said as he pulled the stick out of the mans hands. "Now do i need to go get her some help or not?" Raign thought he was going crazy.

OOC: Sorry about mine being short too i don't want to controll anyones character though.

Blake was wandering mindlessly failing to find the location of Earis's calls. He finally got a clue and ran in that direction. "Hello!? Soin!? Earis!?" he yelled into complete darkness until he stumbled to where Soin was helping Earis and Aurguing with someone else. "Soin? What happened to Earis?" he asked Soin. Clearly seeing Earis Bandaged and shocked.

OOC: by the way....NICE TITLE!!!

Erais was starting to see his face, and the strangers. Staying quiet, listening.

"You guys stop fighting guys. I am fine, it's wearing off. Blake, where were you? I scrapped my knee on the ground." She could now see the other two clearly.

She then stood up. Walking to Soin's side. She slipped her hand in his. Not looking at him, she kept her focuse on Raign. Her face flushed. Uponing being able to see perfectly now, she kept her eyes open.

"Don't look at me." said Blake to Earis. "I'm not the reason we got split up it..It was probably just with the dark and so many trees we took three seperate paths on accident." Said Blake he looked at Soin then Earis then thier hand's. ...Am i the only one alone in this little world i called life....yes i am..heh.. he thought he went back to Raign. "So what are you doing here anyway?" he asked.

Raign faltered "Well i was just going for a walk and the next thing i know i see this girl here lieing on the ground with that gash in her leg. I tried to help her but then he..." Raign pointed to Soin. "Hit me over the head with a stick, and that is all."

"Gash? what.." Blake looked at Earis knee. Sure enough there was a wide gash bandaged but needed treatment. "Earis, you want me to look at that leg?" he asked, a little worried. "just asking i was going to see if it was infected or had something in it...If that's of with you of course.." He said.

"No I am fine, I'm just a little dizzy. We should leave, I have an uneasy feeling. If we are going..." She glanced at Raign.

She let go of Soin's hand, walking over to where she had put her pack down. She picked it up. She then looked at the others.

"He did it against defense. We have had a terrible time here. He had the right, though you may not think so." She directed this to Raign.

I hope he will understand. She told herself silently. She went back to Soin.

Standing defensivly at Erias's side he looked at Raign "You wern't at the academy, but i think I have seen you some where before." with a flick of his fingers s ball of flame jumped up into his palm, luminating the small clearing. "Maybe you were at the accademy," he said taking another look.

"I was at the academy, but i left. I had nothing more to learn their, i just stopped by to clear out my things." Raign grabbed the flame from Soin's hand. "What have you been doing around here anyway?" Raign asked in a very questionable tone.

Erais stepped forward.

"That does not concern you at all." She stared at him.

She watched him, carefully. Then taking the ball of fire and exstinguishing it with water. I think...

"I was in a class with him once. I beat him fair and square." Her eye twinkling.

OOC: Short post, I know. Short on ideas. Today has completely sapped me of ideas.

"Let's try to avoid a fight." Blake said before anything happened. "Ok, we ran and now thier looking I really don't think it would be a good idea to light this forest and say 'Oh look acadmy people were over here!'" he said very sarcasticly. "he grabbed his stuff and looked at them. "Sooo? are we gonna leave or talk this over i'm ok with either." He asked, on the outside he looked calm, on the inside he felt like fire was burning through him. He actualy got a cut while running to the clearing. So he felt fine with the talking it over thing might give him time to heal himself.

"I want to know what is going on." announced Raign. "And I want to know all your names." Raign sat down. "And I also want to know if I can help." Raign said with a grinn. Raign was waiting for something exciting to happen to him and this was his big chance.

OOC: 1. i think it your turn Ioksok. 2. what magic powers we have cuz i know Earis has Water and Ioksok has fire but you might have more just wanna make sure....lol can mine be Nature and Wind..unless it's taken lol

OOC: It is sort of taken. I am allowed to use earth, wind, water and fire to my will. You can to. Don't pressure Ioksok though. He is really busy.

OOC: k didn't know just wanted to check. same thing with Ioksok ill post unless you want to?

OOC: You can post. Then I will, then we will wait for Ioksok.

OOC: ok didnt wanna seem rude lol thats me the almost perfect gentleman lol

IC: "Fine her name is Earis." said Blake, He gestured at Soin. "That's Soin." He said to Raign, Blake Gestued to himself. "And I'm Blake." Blake said. "And I really Don't think it's up to me to tell you what's up. That would be thier matter. To tell you the truth I don't understand much, but it's up to Earis if you wanna know." Blake said to him.

Erais turned to Raign.

"I am sorry, I just don't know if I can trust you yet. I will tell you I tried to ignore Soin and run away twice." She avoided his gaze.

Erais held his hand again. Her hands still cool from the water she had used to exstingiuse ~sp~ the fire. Glad for Soins defence. She put her head on his shoulder. Looking into his eyes. She tried to see what he was thinking, finding it difficult.

Soin felt good the best he had in a long time, he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "We will get through this." he wispered to Erais, then looking up at Blake he said "We need to go, can't be in one place to long."
Then looking at Raign "go back to the academy," he said shaking his head.

OOC: can i have the power of lightning and thunder?

Ic: "No, I told you I have nothing left to learn their I am a graduate, and I have nowhere else to go. I will never return to that academy, I can never." said Raign with a burst of anger. "My father has disowned me my mother is dead and my home has been destroyed. I've seen you at that academy, I know what is going on with all of you and I know who might be able to help, but if you want to turn me down I will leave you. It is your choice."

OOC: Yes, of course.

IC: "Really, you know someone who can help? How do you know what happened?" Erais walked from Soin. "Well, if you are going to tell us, we better start walking. I have a uncomfortable feeling."

She began to walk from the school, turning around to see if they were following.

"Come one, let's go. They might find us gone soon." Her expression alert.

A Giant flash of light came from the direction of the schhol. "I'd say they already have..." Blake said to all of them. "Witch way are we going?" Blake asked them. Another flash came from the direction from the school.

"We have to go south west, but since that is the direction of the academy i say we walk around it. It will take about a day but we don't want to risk being found do we?" Raign said as another flash went off. "Quickly we have to run as fast as we can!" yelled Raign as the flashes started to pick up speed.

Seeing the flash of light Soin grabbed Erais's hand and turned around "This way." he said runing. Once they were a good distance from the school, he stoped running and walked insted "Why would they go through all this trouble to get us?"

"Don't look at...Wait. Maybe they found out, if Raign knows. Then everyone might know." Erais let her gaze fall on the school. "Or maybe it has finally started."

Still holding Soins hand, she began to run. Not looking back at the school.

"Come on guys, we need to run." Her throat stung.

Blake followed them through the clearing and was wondering. What's going to happen now that we as in Earis, Soin, Blake, And now Raign..what are we going to do just run? but why? Why is this wired killer man following Earis...It just dosen't make sense...later, not now later...

"Erais, I doubt anyone else knows, I was just in the right place at the right time, it seemed suspicious so I decided to keep an eye on you. Of course I wouldn't get my hopes up on the fact that noone else knew either." Raign said as he ran next to Erais. In fact he was Impressed at how fast they all were. He himself was considered a fast person and they didn't seem to have trouble keeping up with him at all.

Soin's legs ached from runing but he kept them moving, "Do you have any idea who it is that is tring to get to Erias?" Soin asked Raign bettwen breaths. The wood were geting more dense and coused them to slow down, a littel bit.

Erais stopped. Not able to run now.

"We need a break." She took a breath in between the words.

She put her hand on her knees, gasping for breath. She stood straight still searching for air. She looked from one to another.

"Sure." Blake said simply, his knee still hurt. While Everyone was taking a break he deicded to bandage his knee up. when he got done with that he took a drink and was about to ask who this man was when a another flash of light came from behind them.

"You've got to be joking." Barely saying it aloud. "Come on, let's go. I am so glad I can fly."

She got up from sitting down, her knee buckled under her. She stiffled a cry of pain.

"Let's go," she tried to ignore the pain.

She grabbed Soin's shoulder for support.

OOC: Man, I am totally zapped today.

When Soin cought his breath he looked up and asked "Is it just me or is that light geting closer?"
It was silent except for the wisper of the wind through the trees and the russtle of the bushes. Every one was to busy watching the light inch closer and closer.

"Well if it's getting closer do we want to wait for it?" Blake said. He was watching it to, when he reilized that Earis's knee buckled. "Are you sure that's ok?" He asked Earis, gesturing to her knee. He looked at Earis, then Soin, then Raign...To think just a few hours ago we were at the academy a few hours ago...where am i going with this again?

Raign looked at Soin. "I have no clue who is searching for Erais but i know she is not the first to have this happen to at the academy. In fact this has happened to one person from every ten generations or so, most have dissapeared but one survived which is who i am going to take you to, but we still have to hurry. We can't fly above the trees because they might see you but we can fly under the highest level of trees, since we can't keep running. Just be carefull and don't hit any trees okay?" Raign said as he jumped into the air and hovered above them. "Come on let's go."

"I am fine Blake." Erais winced. "Okay, let's go. They are to close for comfort now."

Erais spred her wings, waiting. Then realizing something.

"Soin, can you run fast enough to stay in pace?" She looked at him concerned.

She hovered over the ground. Watching the light come closer.

OOC: wait a minute Ioksok is a demon right.;..i thought they had like bat wings or something??

IC: Blake spread his wing, A Earis did. A burst of pain shot through his left wing. e grimaced and his left wing dropped. He got up and said. "I guess I'm running with Soin." He said.

OOC: lol I've been drained.

Soin stood up, "I'll be fine," He said "I'm worried about you." Soin turned around and said "Go you all get a head start i'll see if any thing is following us." Soin found a sound tree and clambered up. "Go" he mouthed silently.

Raign pulled Erais along "The person we are going to see is a demon girl. She may have the answers to help you but i have no idea for sure. I have met her before She was my fathers caretaker when he was a boy. I have something else to tell you though." Raign paused. "My mother had the same symptoms as you I didn't realize at the time until she died, but i had no clue this would keep happening. I am sorry Erais." Raign said sadly.

Erais looked ahead.

"Let's just go. I don't care, we just need to go. I will need to tell you something on the way. Soin, be careful." Erais looked longingly at Soin. "Okay, let's go."

She then started to fly south. Waiting until it was far enough away from the light.

Blake watched as Earis and Raign flew off into the distance, he changed his thoughts to Soin. "Are you sure your going to be fine by yourself?" Blake asked Soin. He turned back around and looked intp the distance again...he barley saw Earis and Raign. I wish my wing was ok...

OOC: Ioksok your turn.

Soin looked down from the tree, "Yeah ill be fine." He said " Make sure Erias is safe." Soin sat in the tree, the light got closer Soin was able to reconize it as one of there teachers. He jumped down from the tree and ran the same way as his companions.

Erais stopped when she couldn't see anymore light of any kind.

"Okay, I will tell you what I have had happened in my dreams.
"I have had this voice talk to me, saying. 'You are worthless, no one cares for you. He doesn't care for you anymore then your parents did. Come find me and you will be safe from them forever.' He then goes on, I have even believed him. That is when I have tried to run away. Everytime Soin would catch me, then got me to tell him everything.
"I this what has happened to previous ones? Why would he kill them then?" Erais told the short version.

She was in mid air.

"I have no idea about the person searching for you, but i know if you don't get help he will eventually drive you crazy and you will commit suicide. That is how all the others died, including my mother." Raign said to Erais as he menuvered around a tree.

Blake began to run as fast he can through the woods staying on direction through the forest. Where are they?! He thought to himself. Besides whatever happened to Soin......? Blake was still running wehn he spotted Earis and Raign. "Hey!" He yelled at them.

Raign looked back "Looks like he needs us, come with me." said Raign as he flew down to Blake. What is the matter, and wheres Soin?" Raign asked as he looked behind Blake and then to Blake again. "Did something happen to him?"

Erais landed on the ground next to Blake, her face white as if death had seized her.

"Where's Soin? I thought you two were together?" Barely above a whisper.

She kept looking behind Blake, looking for Soin.
Where is he? Come one Soin. Where are you? Still gazing behind Blake, light began to hit the leaves.

"We need to keep moving. Come on." She forced her tears back.

"Look, I know how you feel.....but I'm sorry....I don't know what happened to him...I asked him if he needed help he said he didn't...so i ran to find you guys as fast as i could....But! he's not in trouble...that wired feeling that's always right has poped up again he's not in trouble ok...but I don't know where he is...sorry..." Blake said to Earis he knew if anything happened to him then Earis would kill herself gladly......He's been the pillar of support for her this whole time....ok now i'm taking a risk... "Go on ahead" Blake said to them. "I'll find Soin." He was about to vanish into the forest when he looked back and mouthed to Earis. 'Don't worry! it's Soin remember?'....As soon as Blake was in the forest his spirts droped...Great straneded in a forest...Soin somewhere in the forest...but fo all i know he could be passing me right now way over to the right.........oh well....I really hate sitiuations like this..... he said wandering through the forest......

OOC: that was really long........

Breathing hard Soin knelt on the ground and looked at the tracks that Blake had left behind. "Where did they go?" he asked himself, he then stood up and started to run agian. Soin stopped and arched his neck, like a deer he had heard a sound in the trees beond. Blake came stubleling out of the trees. "Is Erias ok?" Soin asked hurring to his side.

OOC: I just lost a nice long paragraph. ARGH.

Erais was still looking at where Blake had dissapeared. She then began to fight with herself, swearing she would die if he did. Only she fought saying that he wouldn't want that. Knowing they must go, she grabbed Raigns hand.

"Come one." She urged.

She flew into the air, then letting go of his hand.

"Yeah." Blake said to Soin. "She's fine. We can still catch them if we go back the way I came." Blake told Soin. Suddenly the flash of light came again. "Let's hurry." Blake told Soin.

OOC: my mind has gone dead lol

"Erais I understand you don't want to leave soin, but if that light gets any closer you and i are going to have to leave as fast as we can and leave Soin and Blake to defend themselves." Raign said. He didn't like saying what he had but he knew alot more about the force chasing her than he told her. The thing chasing her was hunting for a pure soul one that has not been tainted by the evil in the world and one that new how to love, and if it found her it would be shure to return with the power it needed to fully exist in this world and rule it. That is why the past ones commited suicide so he could not get to them.

OOC: Ioksok, your turn

Soin and Blake tramped on throught the woods, "How much farther are they ahead of us?" he asked Blake, just then the black sky turned white, as the lighting flashed through the darkness. The thunder blasted and rain fell from the heavens. It was like walking through a curtan Soin could barly see infront of him. Now i'll never find Erias but at least they won't find her ether, he thought.

Now i'll never find Erias but at least they won't find her ether, he thought.

The tears began to stream down Erais' face. She looked behind her, then to Raign.
Freedom, torture and a life. Imprisoned, pain and guilty. She thought.
Both were weighing her down. Thinking, thinking, she decided.

"Raign, let's go." Tears forgotten, she began to fly fast away from the choice she could have choosen.

She didn't want to look back.

"Soin!?" Blake yelled. He could see nothing through this darkness. What is this...I've never seen a storm like it! Blake thought. Soin where are you!? I can't find you! My goodness i'm talking to myself! What has hap- Blake tripped over a tree limb. He broke his leg. "ARGHHH!" He screamed. Oh great now i won't be able to find them period.....ok shelter Blake shelter... When he eventually found one hidden enough so that the academy coulden't find them. He fell over and blacked out.

"Erias." Soin yelled over the boming sound of the thunder, he lost Blake in the rain. Runing the same way he saw Erias and Raign fly. Thinking he saw movment ahead of him, he yelled out Erias's name. The moving stopped, and Soin rain faster.

Raign stopped in mid air. "Hold on Erais." Raign put his hands up to his ears. "I can hear Soin. Follow me, I will use my lightning to light the way."Raign said as he pulled Erais to the ground. He made a small bit of light between his hands and listened for Soin. Soon they found a body collapsed in a small hiding place. "Soin?" asked Raign "No but it is Blake." Raign stated as he lifted him up on his shoulder.

"Raign, we should go. Now, Soin can find his way." She shook Raigns shoulder.

The light wasn't not a mile away. The trees cast a scary shadow on everything. Erais looked into the light, she could only see the light, nothing in it. Just the light.

"Raign. Let's go." She was frightened now.

OOC: I am not feeling very good right now, so ya.

Blake was picked up by someone. He coulden't tell who, but wondered what he would do if it was people from the academy. What am i supposed to say? Not the time to worry about that.... He looked up and opened his eyes. It was dark and his vision was blurred, He thought he saw Earis to the right of him. he looked to his left and saw Raign. Thank you! ugh...ouch... He passed out.

OOC: hello??????????????? anyone out there wanna post?
