"Oh my gosh!" Jessi cried, shooting up from where she was lying. Apparently the medical center was still full, because she was lying in the grass outside the building. People were still flying through the air, and Jess was pretty badly injured. She couldn't feel her leg, and Sel was no where to be seen. jess's clothes were soaked through with blood, most likely her own. "Mascella, where are you?" Jess cried, looking around and wishing she could actually stand up. She moaned in pain and fell backwards helplessly.
"Hey, are you ok?" a boy asked. Jess looked up and found James sitting above her.

They were told to run. Jacob didn't like running. He wanted to go and just kill 'till he died. But that wasn't what they told him. Only the six year students could stay in the heat of the battle. The creatures were pulling back a bit and the dean wanted to take the oppertunity to get the students to saftey.

"QUIET!" The dean yelled when they had reached the safe zone.
"But half my friends are dead! Why are we sitting around while we could be fighting?"
"Yes, lots of people are dead but if we don't unite now then we won't make it. Live together, die alone. Those...things...whatever they are have attacked our peaceful world. They've shattered our hope and our sense of safety. They have taken away our loved one's and friends. But one thing they've given us is a goal to fight for. We have something we all are passionate about. We are stronger than we were before. But now, we need to work together. I don't care what clan you're from, what race, gender. None of that matters. What does matter is that we all pitch in. Even the one years can aid in the attack." Cheers went up from the crowd.
Jacob, Jon, James, Shyral, Aqua, Raelyn, and Belle all were standing in a group. The only three that knew each other were Jon, Aqua, and Jacob. But in that moment they formed something great. A alliance of sorts. That moment was a crucial part in history.

Doesn't go to the school

(I'd put the enterence in here but i believe that MadHatter could better do it justice)

(ooooh!!! i loved that last bit!!! the whole moment in history thing!! i have to think of a chapter that'll do it justice...)

**hard act to follow, indeed. But someone has to do it... it may as well be I**
Shyral looked around the crowd. In this moment, surrounded by strangers, she felt part of something great. Her heat beat rapidly, and all the hair on the back of her neck stood up. Her griffen, Slyten, was in the infirmary. They had told her it was just a flesh wound. It was up to Shyral whether to fly him or not.

Shyral felt something like pride well up in her, yet tinged with anger. If Slyten was up to it, she would fight. As would everyone else, if she could judge the mood of the group.

She looked around. "We fight."
The others nodded, every face set in grim determination.
She looked around, from face to face. "Shyral. My griffen is Slyten. If we fight together, I would like to know everyone's name."

"Aqua. My griffin is Corrith." Aqua stood, her chest swelled with pride and determination as she looked to Shyral.

**Hope your happy Bella and I'll introduce Alice's character**

"Jacob, my griffin's name is Roguefeather." Jacob said. He felt for some reason that there was someone missing...
"You can't leave without me." Jessibella walked into the room, her wounds still gushing.
"Jessibella!" James said aloud.
"You know her to?" Jacob turned to him.
"Yes. But Jess, you're in no shape to fight."
"I can do it.."
"And what happened to your griffin..."
"She's dead." Jacob said grimly.
"No she isn't." Sel walked into the room.
"Where the heck did she come from?" Jacob asked shocked to see the dead griffin.
"Sel and I got seperated and I was riding a riderless griffin."
"Well that's good but your still in no shape to be fighting."
"I can heal."
"Yes but not in the heat of battle."
"Just let her come." Aqua said.
"Fine..." Jacob sat on a bench. A scream could be heard from above...but not a human scream.
"It's one of the beasts!" Jon said. They heard a clunking sound coming down the stairs. The door flew open to show a decapitated head of one of the beasts.
"That will show ya'. Boy's release the harpoons. They heard another round of screams, and then a few roars.
"Whoops...down them there stairs!" They heard some footsteps and prepared for an attack. Instead a young woman came through the door followed by several gruff men. They had all sorts of weaponrey all over her.
"Who are you?" Jacob said, raising his axe.
"I'm Rory."

Rory strolled around Jacob eying him, her shoes made her just a little bit taller than him. "And who might you be?"

"Jacob," he eyed her like she was a threat.

"Well Jacob," she said coming to a stop in front of him. "I suggest you run."

"Why?"

Rory turned away, "MEN! PREPARE FOR COMBAT!" The men drew their weaponry, leaving the harpoons on the ground. The beasts lunged at the men and Rory quickly ran to join them.

"Maybe we should help," Aqua commented as a few of the men dropped dead. Rory still fought strong.

"Do I get to kill?" Jake asked eagerly.

"Yes," Aqua said.

"Then yes we should."

Rory gave them the crazy look when they started fighting. But since her men and best friends were dropping like flies she appreciated the help.

Shyral looked around the confusing throng, wondering what to do.
She looked up, and saw Slyten swooping down to her.

"Slyten!" She ran to his side. "You're wounded. Are you up to it?" Slyten clicked his beak impatiently, and lowered on his knee for her to get up. She complied, looking around for her new companions. Slyten galloped, not unlike a ungainly horse, seeking to join the heat of battle.
Shyral drew her long hunting dagger, wishing for the fiftieth time first years were trained in sword and bow combat.
Slyten pushed through the crowd of armored men and women, seeking his prey.

The battle was going good. They had taken out several beasts and had moved the students elsewhere. The dean respected their will to fight but insisted that Jessibella go with him. She argreed, but wanted to fight again soon. This new girl Rory was tough but he could see the sorrow in her eyes as she saw her men drop dead.
"We got to lead them out!" Jacob roared.
"Don't talk near them they'll understand you!" Rory said as she decapitated the nearest beast.
"What?"
"They understand english." Jacob gave her the crazy look this time but listened to her any way. The band ran out a large gash in the wall. Jacob let the others through.
"GO RORY!" He shouted slashing a creature, cutting it's head in half.
"No you go! One of us has to stay behind to save the rest and I'm up to the challenge."
"No...I'll stay." He pushed her through and ran into the crowd of beasts. He wasn't afraid to die. Not now. Now he would fight. He leaped in slashing his axe at the howling crowd, but the beasts suddenly moved revealing a little boy.
He caught his foot in a crack, holding himself upside down. The little boy was curled up in the fetile position. The beast seemed calm.
"Hello Jacob."
"How do you know my name?"
"I've met you before. I must exuse my form, it was the only thing I could find."
"Who are you??" The boy uncurled to reveal a face with no mouth or nose. It's eyes were red with no pupils. A horrific laugh circled the room.
"Your worst nightmare."

**Jacob is not dead**

James reached up and stabbed one of the beasts in the neck. The blood splattered over his dark green jumpsuit turning it red in places. Another beast rushed towards him and he threw the long dagger at its face. It missed completely and he jumped out of the beasts path and reached for his sword. It wasn't there! Jess had taken it when she had found him.

He picked up one of the axes lying on the floor and brought the blade down on the beasts neck. The axe lacked the balance of his sword, but it sharp edge severed its head and cut off the beasts screech.

The day had gone so quickly. James had never expected Amarum to fall of the rooftop. The screech must have really hurt her. Amarum... What had happened to her? Jess would know. He brandished the big double-edged battle-axe and began to hack his way through the fray, towards Jess.

Aqua twirled in the air as she leaped over the beast. She leveled out and slashed the beast. It fell to the ground with a pained moan.

Aqua landed on both feet and a large mass of body knocked her into the wall. Her head cracked against the stone and she was dazed. She saw what had hit her and ducked as it lunged at her. The beast hit the wall and knocked itself out.

Aqua brought her blade down and pierced the beasts side with a snarl. She could feel the vertigo and faint nauseousness as she straightened up, staggering a little.

Jess screamed as she dodged the multiple swords and daggers coming at her. The dean had been stupid to think that locking her in his office was going to keep her from battle. She fell backwards and looked behind her.
"Jacob!" She shouted as she saw him being dragged away by a large beast. "Ah!" A large claw went through her shoulder.
"Jess!" James cried as he made his way through the beasts, decapitating them as he went. He killed the beast that hovered over Jess and helped her to her feet. "That really didn't help your wounds much, did it?"
"I'm fine!" Jess snapped, trying to ignore the searing pain through her shoulder.
"No, you need to get to the hospital."
"Do not, we need to help Jacob." Jess argued.
"Wait what happened to jacob?"

*Okay Bella (Writer Chick) YOU ASKED FOR THIS BY BEING A HUGE JERK. Oh and writer_chick_13 CANNOT create a new character on this* (Oh and I have permission to break my own rules if necessasary and have permission and )

jessibella ran towards the building she had seen Jacob being dragged into. "Come on we got to go find him!" James was a little fed up with the whinning her all the time. I guess that what you would get if you hung out with a little kid. The rest of the group was stiil fighting.
"HEY JESSE! WATCH OUT!" She turned around to see a huge creature flying down at her.
"AIII!" The creature flew down and grabbed her in his claws. He ran after it. He through a blade at the creature. It pierced the creatures heart. The beast fell, but what he didn't remember was that she would fall too. He saw her limp body impale it's self on a flag pole. "JESSE!"
he ran over to her dead body. Blood rushed out of her stomach including intestinal fluids. "What have I done?" He panicked. He was now resopnsible for the death of a little girl.
"James...." He looked down. She was just barley alive but dying quickly.
"I'll get an medic.."
"No...I'm dying. Please just tell Sel that she was a good griffin."
"No please don't go. Stay alive.."
"I'm sorry I failed you." She fell limp. James started to cry. He knew that he had to save Jacob for her. He would do it for all of them.

Rory fought the tears that threatened to blur her vision. The beasts were killing her best, damn them she would make them suffer. She attached her arm harpoon attachment and shot a few.

She looked over and saw Jacob being dragged away. She sighed and shot at one near there. Shit, she missed by a little bit. She didn't hit Jacob but she missed, alearting them to the fact that she was watching them. Double shit. Some of them moved on her.

Just as one jumped at her she shot it through the chest. As it opened the beast exploded.

Unaffected by the one the rest soon caught her. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
