Alone in Darkness

[tamaturtle]

"Hey." Faylinn smiled, before lowering her voice to a whisper. "Damien... there's two people over there who look really, REALLY familar, but I can't for the life of me work out why..."

 

[YellowJedi]

"They go to our school..." Damien paused. "And they're immortal..."

Eon nodded, turning back to January. He smiled softly, forgetting about the other immortals.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Oh..." Faylinn couldn't help but glance back at them. "They can't be a problem though, surely..."

 

[nokotchi]

January leaned down to her backpack and pulled out her sketchbook, eager to finish her sketch of Eon.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Yeah, they'll be fine." Damien said.

Eon smiled. "Finishing your sketch?"

 

[nokotchi]

She flipped open to the page of the sketch and nodded. "Yep, hold that smile for me for a moment." She told him, looking up at him, returning the smile.

 

[tamaturtle]

Faylinn knew she should stop staring, but she couldn't help it. "It's weird... school's tomorrow, but they've packed bags and stuff..."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Maybe they're running away too." Damien told her.

Eon nodded, continuing to smile.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Yeah... somehow, I doubt they're in as much trpuble as us."

As much as she didn't want to, Scarlett opened the door to the room Rain was in. "The boy's here. Well, his body is."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Okay, you deal with it." Rain said that.

 

[nokotchi]

January quickly began sketching down Eon's features. She would look up every few moments to examine his face. After a few minutes of quick sketching, she held up her sketchbook. "There we go, all I have left is the shading."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Maybe we should go talk to them..." Damien said.

Eon nodded. "Okay."

 

[tamaturtle]

"You can do it..." Faylinn said, shuffling awkwardly.

"Alright, but you know the boy has to come to you when he's revived."

 

[YellowJedi]

"I'm not doing it without you." Damien said.

"Why?" Rain asked bluntly.

 

[nokotchi]

January placed the sketchbook back in her lap and began the shading. She took her finger and rubbed the page to blend the shading. When she was finished, she looked at the finger she had used to blend with a sigh, seeing it was black from the pencil lead.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Fine..." Faylinn said, getting to her feet.

"Uh, because you're the leader of the council? And you know what has to happen to those two? I, well, I only have wishes."

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon yawned slightly.

Damien got up, holding Faylinn's hand. He slowly walked over.

"Fine." Rain sighed.

 

[nokotchi]

January looked up and spotted the two. She narrowed her eyes again as they approached. She nudged Eon gently, "They're coming over here..." she muttered quietly.

 

[tamaturtle]

Faylinn lagged behind Damien slightly, biting her lip as they approached. "Hey..."

Scarlett disappeared, and a few minutes later came back with Ember. He looked like he was halg asleep. "Wha... what happened? Where's Faylinn?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"Faylinn is with Damien, they're on their way to Seattle." Rain told Ember.

Eon looked up, not saying anything.

"Listen, we know you guys from school...and for a different reason." Damien said softly. "We know you guys are also immortal."
