New Year gatecrashers

[YellowJedi]

"Yeah, I'm fine. He was no match for me, we had the same exact same powers, but I've had more experience." Zane explained. "But more importantly, are you okay? She almost killed you..."

 

[tamaturtle]

"I'm okay." Eleanor said, sitting up. "I'm just... having problems breathing." A pause. "I see Nick was with that girl."

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane cringed at the mention of Nick. "Well, hopefully they don't come back."

 

[tamaturtle]

"You killed one of their allies, possibly more." Eleanor pointed out. "They'll be back."

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane just looked down. "I'm so sorry."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Don't be sorry! You were only trying to keep us both alive!" Eleanor said, taking hold of Zane's hand.

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane nodded. "Listen...Eleanor..." he turned a little pale. "I think the only way for us to be safe is to finish Nick and Lucinda once and for all..."

 

[tamaturtle]

Eleanor swallowed, before nodding. "Y-yeah... but how hard will it be? We know about Nick, but nothing about this Lucinda..."

 

[YellowJedi]

"I'm not really sure..." Zane admitted.

 

[tamaturtle]

"I guess we'll just have to have a go." Eleanor sighed, before saying carefully, "Zane... I know you're not going to want to drag anyone else into this, but... maybe we should get help..."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Like who?" Zane asked.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Anyone." Eleanor said. "Like Voriz, Gemma, Damien if we could find him... hey, if Voriz isn't evil any more, that means Metax and Slith etc are alive, doesn't it?"

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane sighed. "I have no idea..."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Don't you think it's worth a try?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"It's up to you, but I don't want to risk our friends lives."

 

[tamaturtle]

"True..." Eleanor sighed. "Looks like it's just us then, huh?" A pause. "Now, how are we going to do this..?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"Let's wait until they attack, no need to waste energy tracking them down."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Good point." Eleanor sighed. "Maybe we should go back to the house..."

 

[YellowJedi]

Zane nodded, and walked back silently.

 

[tamaturtle]

Eleanor took hold of Zane's hand as they walked, still taking deep breaths to get her own breath back. Eventually, she spoke. "I guess we're never truly safe anywhere, huh?"
