New Year gatecrashers

[YellowJedi]

"Listen, we're not here to fight." Zane started to say.

Voriz shook his head. "No I don't get it... what are you trying to say Gemma?"

 

[tamaturtle]

"Oh yeah? Prove it. This had better be a good story."

The tears increased, and Gemma's hands clenched into fists. "When we were younger, and I had my pack of girl friends, it was always the others they were interested in. Zane, Metax, whatever. But I, I just wanted you!" Gemma paused to wipe her eyes with a shaking hand. "I-it was like I never existed! And now, what, it takes the apocalypse and you going insane to get you to notice me?!"

 

[YellowJedi]

"Gemma, it was never like that! I was just afraid, and didn't know how to act. I was worried that if we were together, I would mess it up and do something to hurt you." Voriz walked over to you. "You can ask anyone, Zane, Damien, or whoever, they could tell you how crazy I was about you. I was just afraid. And now...now I'm a monster!"

Zane explained everything for the stranger. "Listen, we're building an army to fight back. We need all the immortals we can find."

 

[tamaturtle]

"I got an invite to the party here." Gemma said, slightly calmer. "But I didn't come, I didn't want to p-put myself through this a-again..."

"An army, huh? How quaint." The stranger said, cracking his knuckles. "Name's-"

"Kieran!" Eleanor suddenly burst in.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Uh...who?" Zane asked Eleanor.

"It's not too late Gemma. You could rule with me, we could be together..." Voriz said softly.

 

[tamaturtle]

"I-I know him from school..." Eleanor said, slightly in shock. Kieran glanced at Zane. "She also used to fancy me quite a bit."

"I-I don't think I could do it, Voriz!" Gemma said, looking away. "I-it's not like I d-don't want you anymore, but..."

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane nodded, looking at Eleanor.

Voriz looked down. "Please Gemma. I want to be with you."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Oh, shut up." Eleanor hissed, going red. She turned to Zane, "Seriously, I've given up on him."

Gemma paused, clearly thinking deeply. Then she sighed, gave a small smile, and took Voriz's hand.

 

[YellowJedi]

Voriz smiled. "You can have whatever you want Gemma. Just tell me, and it will be yours."

Zane nodded slowly, before speaking. "Okay, let's go find more immortals, unless you want to rest."

Damien was outside of Voriz's house. He knew he had no chance of fighting Voriz, but he needed to save Gemma.

 

[tamaturtle]

"C-can I just be with you for the moment?" Gemma asked, moving closer.

"Hm... what do you think? We shpuld really find more..."

 

[YellowJedi]

Voriz just nodded, pulling her into his arms. "Whatever you say." he whispered.

Damien was now in the mansion, searching for Gemma.

Zane nodded, and walked back inside.

 

[tamaturtle]

Gemma sighed, resting her head on Voriz's shoulder and starting to cry again, only this time out of happiness. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this?"

Kieran sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Right. Where to start?"

 

[YellowJedi]

Voriz nodded his head. "I do." he said softly.

Damien bursted into the room, his hands charged with fire. "I swear to god, I'm going to kill you..." he said to Voriz, throwing fireballs at him.

Zane shrugged. "Let's just do what we were doing before. Sense for immortal energy."

 

[tamaturtle]

Gemma jumped violently, spinning around. "Damien! Wait!" She yelled, automatically pushing Voriz out of the way. If that didn't tell Damien what was going on...

Eleanor nodded. "I wonder how the others are getting on?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"Oh, I'm sure they're fine." Zane said.

"So you hypnotized her too?!" Damien asked, pinning Voriz to the wall. He then, began to drain his powers.

 

[tamaturtle]

"The 'others'?" Kieran asked, frowning.

"There's two others in our group, Damien and Gemma." Eleanor explained, biting her lip. "I don't know... I have this really bad feeling."

"No, Damien!" Gemma pulled her brother away from Voriz. "He hasn't done anything! This was my choice!"

 

[YellowJedi]

"Wha...what?!" Damien asked, looking in horror at his sister.

"Dont worry. I'm positive they're fine." Zane said.

 

[tamaturtle]

Gemma slowly nodded, not looking up at her brother. "I-it's true, Damien... this is what I was trying to tell you earlier! I didn't think I could do anything because.... because I was still in love with Voriz." Finally, she looked up at her brother, her cheeks going red.

"If you're sure... we should get moving again. For all we know, Voriz is here right now." Eleanor said.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Don't be so paranoid." Zane said. "Just relax a little."

Damien just shook his head in disbelief, teleporting away.

Voirz got up, looking down. "See, it's dangerous for us to be together."

 

[tamaturtle]

"The last time I 'relaxed a little'," Eleanor said, "I died at least once, got turned into a fairy, kidnapped and taken to another world, lost my memory - twice! - and been in more fights than I can remember. And that's probably just for starters!"

Gemma sighed. "He's probably never going to forgive me... oh god, Voriz, what if he attacks me?" She said, starting to cry again.
