Alone in Darkness

[YellowJedi]

"Well, it feels nice having one again." Damien corrected himself. "And yeah, the power thing is probably because of our empathy link."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Well, I can't exactly ditch you now, can I?" Faylinn smiled, nudging Damien's arm.

Eventually Scarlett found Rain again. "Rain... I'd like to ask your permission to do something." She smiled, biting her lip and looking up.

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien laughed a little, and continued walking.

"What is it?" Rain asked

 

[tamaturtle]

"Yeah. As much as I want to go home and curl up with my laptop..." Faylinn sighed, before hesitating. and asking "Damien... why were you just going to give yourself up?"

"I want to try and bring that Ember boy back to life to help us. You know it's possible, and it would make sense. And fun."

 

[YellowJedi]

Rain nodded. "I was thinking the same thing."

Damien stayed quiet. "I don't know." he admitted. "I guess I thought there was nothing to fight for."

 

[tamaturtle]

Scarlett grinned. "Of course, the humans will have taken the body away. But that's easily sorted."

"Of course there is, you idiot!" Faylinn gave a small laugh. "Why else would you have bothered to fight them off for so long?"

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien stayed quiet, not wanting to answer Faylinn's question.

Rain thought for a second. "Ember broke some of the laws himself though..." he pointed out.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Only the one, if I remember correctly." Scarlett wrapped her arms around Rain's neck. "Would you be willing to excuse him if he helps with these two?"

Faylinn shuffled awkwardly, glancing up at Damien. "We, uh, should probably move faster."

 

[YellowJedi]

"I guess that would be fine..." Rain said with a small sigh.

Damien nodded, and picked up his pace.

 

[tamaturtle]

"I know you're not happy about this." Scarlett said quietly, before giving Rain a quick kiss. "But this is one of the easiest ways to sort this out." Unless he goes against us.

Faylinn was lost in her own thoughts, walking along next to Damien without any real clue of where they were going. Eventually, she snapped back into the real world. "I think we should get out of this town."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Maybe, but they'll be able to find us no matter what." Damien pointed out.

Rain nodded. "Yeah, you're right."

 

[tamaturtle]

"So, what, it's easier and safer to just sit at home?" Faylinn said, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Somehow, I feel it's not..."

"Thank you." Scarlett smiled, pulling away. "I'll find some immortals, tell them to go find Ember. I'm not touching a dead body unless absolutly necessary." She told Rain, examining her nails. "Oh, the immortals that we sent out to find them died. Killed, to be exact."

 

[YellowJedi]

"You're right, but where could we go?" Damien asked.

Rain shrugged. "No big deal, that was expect, was it not?"

 

[tamaturtle]

"I don't know... I guess we'd have to keep moving on." Faylinn suddenly laughed. "As if I'm running away and dropping out of school! This is insane!"

"I love your lack of caring." Scarlett laughed, cupping Rain's cheek with her hand. "They were weak, it was to be expected."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Eh, it's not a big a deal." Damien shrugged. "Not like school is important."

Rain nodded, kissing her gently. "Scarlett, don't you think you're taking this a bit too seriously?"

 

[tamaturtle]

"Suppose... I guess I'll do it again in a few years. Seeing as I'm going to look this way forever." Faylinn sighed. "I would have thought becoming a vampire would have made me look prettier as well..."

"No." Scarlett frowned, stepping backwards. "I'm just taking the facts and acting upon them. Isn't that what we're meant to do?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"How could you get any prettier?" Damien asked softly.

"We're also supposed to use our better judgement."

 

[tamaturtle]

Faylinn's cheeks turned bright red, and she looked away quickly. "Um... thanks." She said quietly, laughing nervously. "But I really don't believe you."

 

[YellowJedi]

"What do you mean?" Damien asked, blushing himself. "I mean, you look so amazing, why would you want to change?"

 

[tamaturtle]

"Shut uppp!" Faylinn giggled, the blush deepening. "You're just saying it to make me feel better about all of this."

"My judgement is that Damien and any of his allies should be punished." Scarlett growled, her hands clenching into fists.
