“The shadow spirits will be wandering around, and if I get caught, Blake has made it very clear that I’ll end up with some more scars. I don’t know if it will be possible.”
“The shadow spirits will be wandering around, and if I get caught, Blake has made it very clear that I’ll end up with some more scars. I don’t know if it will be possible.”
"Any better ideas? You can control darkness, is there some way you could….I don't know, make us invisible or something?"
“Not that I know of. The spirits have the same control over darkness as me, they’d see you instantly.” I hung my head but then had an idea. “We could teleport?”
Luke frowned. "Teleport, huh? That might work. You can do that?"
I nodded. “I haven’t done it with multiple people before though, and only short distances.”
"Well, it might be our best bet. I'm willing to give it a shot if you guys are."
(P.S. is it okay if something happens that stops them the first time they try?)
(Yeah, that’s ok)
I nodded, “I’ll try, if it means getting outta here.”
"Okay. Let us know what you need us to do."
“Just hold on tight.” The boys did as they were told and grabbed my shoulders. I’d never done this with multiple people so hopefully it would work. I pictured the hideout in my mind and soon began to feel a slight buzz.
Nathan kept his eyes shut, gripping Maddie's shoulder tightly.
(One second, brb)
(Ok, let's see here)
The darkness enfolded you easily enough, and the others followed you, floating in the nothingness. You (I assume) carefully visualized the street outside the building, and moved towards it. It glowed in your mind, getting closer and closer–
And then, with a sudden impact and a sound like a giant bell, you were thrown back. For a second you saw the house, and it's great purplish shield, flexing and swaying where you'd hit it. You fell onto a rough, solid carpet, and the others fell with you.
"An excellent attempt, Maddie," came Blake's smooth voice. "But not good enough. You've been giving me quite the headache, young lady."
I hissed. I’d hit my leg on something sharp when I had landed. “Let us go, Blake. Surely there are other people out there you could use instead of me?” I tried to stand but when I did, I collapsed, sending a jolt of pain up my leg.
"Yes. But not to the same effect." Blake spoke in a rather bored voice, he studied his laced fingers instead of looking at you. "You must understand, Maddie. There is no escape. And now you've gone and trapped you poor friends in here with you. A shame really, but I suppose I can find some use for them."
"Mads." Luke touched your shoulder. "Don't listen to him, okay? We're gonna be fine."
I was torn. I didn’t know what to believe. I looked at Luke, then back at Blake. I placed my hand on top of Luke’s. “Why? Why do this?”
"Because there is no other option," Blake said coldly.
"Because we never stop fighting," Luke said, staring at you.
(Not to kill the mood, but sorry if we're excluding you at all, @Amber. I promise that's not our intent)
(Yeah, sorry about that)
“There’s always another option.” I said quietly.
Blake stared at the three of you with tired irritation. "Oh, is there? What pray, do you suggest?"
“Nothing, I have nothing.” I hung my head. “What happened to the girl that killed Crash? What was her punishment?” I had to keep him talking, just until we had a plan.
"You care? I'm surprised. Currently, she is in one of the lower levels, being taken care of by my secretary Rokken. He loathes disobedience, and takes great joy in punishing those disloyal to me. I'll spare you the details. Perhaps, if one of your friends steps out of line, I'll let you watch next time."
My hand tightened around Luke’s. “No, no more.” I flung my hands down and darkness erupted in a wall. “Go!” I shouted to Luke and Nathan.
(So, I have to go for a bit next, and I think Amber isn't here right now? So if it's okay with you, you can have a turn with the cliffhanger and we'll wait to see if she comes back. Sound good?)
(All good, see ya in a bit!)
(Ok ^^)
(of course there's a chance she went to bed, since it'll be pretty late for her by now)
(Yeah, that is true)
(Hold the thought, we'll all be back at it tomorrow, I'm sure)
(Yeah, hopefully)
(Hellooooo?)
(hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii)
