Nathan looked back at the wings. Who would give away such a priceless thing?
"Let's find Maddie and Crash. That's a priority. We can check all this stuff out later."

"Let's find Maddie and Crash. That's a priority. We can check all this stuff out later."
"You're not going to find them like this."
It was a new voice, from the stairs. There was a girl standing there, watching you. Her messy dark hair half-hid her face.
"Well damn." Nathan muttered. He turned to her. "Who are you?"
She leaned against the wall. "Esme. You must be the two humans that gave the others so much trouble at first. How'd you end up in this lonely corner of the house?"
She knew about Maddie and Crash. "We were looking for Blake?" he attempted.
(i cant help myself but think of twilight)
(Oh no, what for? I haven't read it)
"You must be pretty stupid to be looking for him. I'd go the other way if I were you."
Luke folded his arms. "Well, if you care so much about our health, why don't you tell us the way to our friends so we can leave? We ain't going without them."
Esme gave him an unimpressed look. "Lemme ask you something. Why do you care about them so much?"
(Esme is the name of the main character's mother. And don't read it it's a complete waste of time)
"They're good people, and our friends. They don't deserve what Blake wants to do to them."
(Ah, dang it. Oh well, you can't copyright names luckily)
"Is that it? Nobody deserves the stuff that happens to them in life. Why try to shelter them?"
"Listen," Luke said, a dangerous undertone in his voice. "I'm no stranger to that cosmic law. And I'm willing to bet that Nate isn't either. But I don't want to hear whatever you tell yourself so you can work for Blake and still sleep easy at night."
"I don't work for Blake," Esme said. "I just show up to check in once in a while. Which is why I haven't turned you in yet. I'm not interested in Blake's plans."
"Hallelujah," Nathan snapped. "Run along and check, then."
"Sure." Esme shrugged. "Whatever. You can wander around down here until you die, if you want. There's no way you'll find your 'friends' without help, not if Blake doesn't want you to. But who knows, maybe two hotshots like you can think of something." She turned and started up the stairs.
Luke stared after her. "Wait. Let's say we asked you for help. What exactly do you want?"
She paused. "You're not the only ones searching for someone."
Nathan looked up at that. He could just about here the truth in her voice. "Who're you here for?"
She turned back around. "A girl. She's about my age, dark skin, short curly hair, green and gold eyes. Her name's Celina. I lost track of her three weeks ago." Esme did a good job of keeping her face blank, but her voice wavered ever-so-slightly as she finished. "I like to stay in touch with people that actually seem to care. Right now, she's pretty much the only one."
(gotta go for a bit, seeya later. Unless you've gone to bed, in which case I'll see you tomorrow)
(pokes head in while wearing a rubber unicorn mask to see if anyone's there)
(looks up from book why do I talk to you?)
(lol, I don't know, man, but I'm glad you do XD)
(XD. Should we go to Maddie, or what? She could wander round and find Luke and Nate by mistake or something, I don’t know.)
(Hmmm. Maybe she shouldn't find the boys quite yet, but perhaps she could decide that she's had enough and goes looking for them? And encounter trouble along the way? Then when Amber gets back we'll wrap up the scene with the boys right quick, and Esme can lead them to Maddie. Sound fair?)
(hi I'm back)
(Oh! Well, I'll let you guys take a vote, then. Who wants to go first?)
(Yup, you want me to go?)
(sure go ahead)
(Ok then ^^)
(Give me a sec, gotta get food first, life problems, I’ll be five minuets(hopefully). )
(No prob XD)
(Done!)
I slammed the door to my room shut. I had to get out of here and find the boys, fast. I changed my clothes and put my trainers back on. I opened the door slightly and shut it when I saw two of Blake’s minions outside my door.
"I'm telling ya, dude, I was holding back," came Trius's annoyed voice.
"Sure," was the sarcastic reply. "Holding back what? Your lunch? Nice job." Their voices faded quickly down the hallway.
I smirked, they hadn’t seen me. I opened the door and set off in the opposite direction down the winding halls. I rounded a corner and saw another of Blake’s minions coming right at me.
It was a boy with blond hair and a scowl. He limped toward you, rubbing his head, and didn't notice you until he was only a few feet away. "Hey," he said in surprise. "Where do you think you're going?"
I shrugged, trying to look as causal as possible, “Getting to know the place,” I eyed him up and down, “Why are you limping?”
