To Save the World

Kathy-

"I called you Lava girl Jessa, LIVE WITH IT! DO You Know What You Have Done?!!!!"

"Everybody calm down," said Noah. I took a deep shuddering breath and clenched my fists, but Noah was right, we all needed to calm down.

"We're sorry for trashing you place," said Char. "The guardians will compensate for any destroyed or damaged possesions. Right Jessa?" I heard a hint of warning in Char's voice and smirked. Thank the Lord for responsible people.

~Jessa~

Really, why must everyone always gang up on poor little me? I was just trying to save the world...!

"Well, sorry for pretty much destroying your building. It wasn't nice." I said, "Happy, Kat?"

She glared at me. Why is everyone glaring at me?

"Isn't there another baddie here?" I suddenly asked, diverting everyone's attention from me to another person.

Edward-

We all sat in Nathaniel's office as he paced angrily.

"Guardians? How the heck did they show up?" Nathaniel bellowed.

"Maybe they all were tired of the desert. New York is wonderful this time of year," I said sarcastically.

I could feel Antonius and Laretta's looks and the fear. They somehow feared Nathaniel, but I didn't. I could see what he feared the most. What he kept in the dark.

"Not one word Edward! And You Left Audi To the Guardians and Kyle's Group!"

"So, knowing her she'll bust out by giving everyone nightmares."

"Becasue of her power?" Laretta asked.

"No, because of her profession to annoy people until they are on the ground in a feadle position, sucking their thumb...AGH!"

I fell to the ground my veins burning. I seemed to have pressed Nathaniel too far.

"Nathaniel, stop," said Antonius.

"I don't take orders from you Antonius now shut up!"

"Nathnaiel please stop. This isn't helping anything," said Laretta.

"If he wants me to stop then I want to hear Edward beg. You heard me, beg!"

I kept my lips shut, but the blood continued to burn. "I can kill you in a second Edward, and you know it. Now BEG!"

"Nathaniel... please... st-stop..." The words were bitter and I hated Nathaniel with every bit of me. But the blood stopped and he obviously was bored.

"We'll work on a way to free Audi." That was all he said before storming away. I just glared after him and gasped for breath.

Maisy

It was some hours later that they were at a location Maisy didn't recognise and everyone had re-grouped and somewhere along the way, Audri had been caught and shut in this room and tied up at the far end. And now here she was, with the good guys just outside, discussing something in low voices of which the only word Maisy seemed able to catch was 'guardian' and she was this side of the door looking at Audri.

"When I take you back to Nathaniel, it's going to burn so much," Audri was saying. "It's going to hurt more than ever before and your father..." she spat the word out and paused. "He'll not be able to stop it. You've betrayed us Maisy and you will be punished." Maisy blinked at her knowing there would be a catch and knowing that if she could hear the offer and turn her back then she was free. The memories were a lie. Any fleeting thoughts of friendship and happiness had not existed for in truth they had been in her mind alone.

And she only had to knock on the door. That was what Jason said. When she was done, just knock on the door and they'd let her out. And she was suspicious but... he saved me.

"Of course, if you was to help me escape, I might be able to plead your part." Emotions tugged at Maisy but she was tired and already confused enough and she'd run so far inside herself that she could see the thoughts playing across her mind and be distanced from them. She stood on heavy feet with some difficulty and knocked twice against the door.

It was opened. Not looking at Jason, Maisy quietly slipped through and found herself a space on the corridor floor where she curled up and closed her eyes, listening to their halt in speaking and feeling their glances on her.

Jason

He watched Maisy more or less stumble out of the holding cell and sink to the floor of the corridor. Giving Audi a quick glare from the safe side of the door, he locked it again and sat down beside Maisy. "Did you get what you wanted in there?" He asked.

She shook her head a little. Apparently, whatever Audi had said to her, and no doubt whatever emotions she'd tossed Maisy's way, weren't going to be great conversation material.

He shrugged, "That's okay. You don't need to talk about it. But you can't just spend your time moping, it's not going to help anyone here."

Carson

About half the guardians were with him in Kyle's secondary headquarters. They were all standing in the hallway outside Audi's cell. Carson looked from the cell back to Kyle, "Back in Africa, Noah was saying something about Nathaniel and his people planning something big. We're not sure what it is, but I think it's safe to say that the best thing to do would be to stop them from pulling it off. Do have any information about it?"

**I think we need to get some more people posting, anyone want to PM the original participants?**

I've sent a quick pm to a few of the others who were writing with us. Let's see how many we can get back and if need be I'll make a new character.

Maisy

Tipping her head to the side, Maisy watched Jason carefully. Moping? The word was unfamiliar when applied to her. She'd read books where the characters moped, when they spent their time down and not doing anything about it which Maisy had always thought a rather silly action but she'd not considered herself to be... a moper. Didn't you have to spend time feeling sorry for yourself for that?

"I'm sorry," she said aloud. "I'll try to be more helpful. What do you want me to do?" And somehow she'd said something wrong. His expression told her that, a mixture of surprise and frustration. But he didn't actually say anything and she didn't dare ask what she'd said wrong. Maybe she hadn't apologised enough, maybe he thought she was being insincere, maybe...

"We need to plan our next attack," Kyle decided thoughtfully. He said it in a soft, tender voice that contradicted the words to the point that Maisy wasn't sure she'd heard him correctly. Nate would have shouted, he would have roared. Kyle did not.

"Yes but we need more allies," Jason said. "We should ask the guardians once more. They helped us today so if we could convince them that one strong blow would wipe out the forces of evil once and for all, maybe they would help us. Afterall..." He shrugged. He didn't have to say it. What he meant was that if Maisy had turned sides, if a bad could become a good then why couldn't neutral just as easily side with them.

Kathy-

I heard the entire conversation, a little perk in controlling sound. I knew what Kyle meant by afterall.

"They want us to join," I said from my seat. The guardians were two rooms down from where the good guys were meeting.

"Join them? In what?" Char asked.

"Something about stopping Nathaniel's big plan."

"Do they know what it is?" Noah asked.

"Not from what they're saying."

"We'll just have to wait... and Kathy. No more eavsdropping."

Jessa giggled at my scolding (though it wasn't scolding. It was a request.)

~Jessa~

"Wells, I think I'm gonna blow this popsicle stand. I'm bored and when I get bored, things tend to blow up." Kathy glared at me. And I started to leave but she grabbed my shirt.

"Oh no, you aren't going anywhere, Lava-girl." Kathy said.

"Let go, Kat." I said, growing angry.


**sorry its so short**

Kathy-

"Will you both shut up?" Carson yelled. I let go of Jessa and she walked out of the room just as Kyle walked in.

"Okay, we have a proposition for you."

"Here it comes," I muttered under my breath.

Char nudged me in the side.

[oh my goodness I'm so sorry i haven't been here...can i come back in ):]
I want to so badly now D: I'll go read through everything.
Larella

I watched as Edward got tortured by Nathaniel, a tinge burned off of my heart. In my head I laughed at myself for still having feelings for him.

Finally Nathaniel stopped, I gazed into Edward's pained eyes feeling relieved it was done. I rushed to help Edward up my heart jumping at the chance.

"Are you okay Edward?" I asked keeping my emotions solid as always. I pushed a piece of hair behind my ear and waited for an answer.

Edward-

I looked oddly at Larella. Why the heck was she helping me? I shrugged her hand off and stood up, trying to ignore the pain with every step.

"It's nothing I haven't handled before." And after that I had a new feeling that I didn't feel for ages. Guilt.

Good to have you back SH =)

[ good to be back im soo surprised you guys kept my character alive ahah ]

Larella

"Oh, well okay Edward." I said feeling sadness welll up inside of me.

I looked down and said, "I'll be back later, I need to check up on Raye."

As fast as i could i sped out, when i was out of sight I wiped a tear with my sleeve. The spirits were coming I could feel the vibes.

Oh no, I can't go back to Raye with them...Ugh Edward probably hates me. How could I have been so stupid. My thoughts were a jumbled mess making me lose my focus on my surroundings.

A sudden noise of a cabinet falling told me, they were here. These demons were different...not like my other encounters. They were pitch black with hooked mouths, and razor sharp claws, as well as super fast. As i was expecting one shot into my body, but this was painful.

Why am I in pain? Have they figured out a way to hurt humans by themselves? No, otherwise they wouldn't be using me. I fell to the ground everything a constant pain, in all parts of my body. This time when the demon took me I was blinded, I felt like I bug in a deep and dark container.

The silence was always nice to me but, this was too much.

Raye is probably mad at me, I promised him i'd be back and never did. Now, i'm stuck in my own head while demons kill innocent people.

Finally i let my thoughts drift and fell into a dreamless sleep.

When I awoke Raye was standing above me, his arms folded, nose scrunched up. I had to examine my body before i could talk to him. There was a long gash across my arm going from my elbow to my hand, Raye had cleaned it.

"Relly! You promised you'd come back to get me...I waited but you never came." He whined his eyes looking down. I pulled him into a big hug, the gash on my arm stinging badly.

"Raye, You need to come with okay sweetheart?" I told him, he ran to get his bags and i called a jet.

Edward's number was in my phone...did i dare call him. I decided i should just to let everyone know i was coming.

I dialed Edward's number, "Larella?"

"Yeah it's me Edward I'm on my way back."

Edward-

She told me she had to pick her brother up. She even had a brother? Everyone who joined up with Nathaniel was alone so far. This was different and dangerous.

I didn't know if Larella's brother could control an element like us or not, but I had the feeling that he was human. Ugh humans... What would Nathaniel do if her brother was human. Somehow the picture of Larella in pain while Nathaniel made her blood boil was one that made me gag.

"Larella," I said over the phone. "Don't bring your brother with you."

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

Larella

I hesitated before speaking again, "Okay Edward. I'll be there soon without Raye."

It's probably for the best I told myself. I looked at Raye, his eyes were wide and confused.

"I'm sorry Raye but you need to go to the next door neighbors." I explained, knowing that was a great place to keep him safe.

"B-but Relly...Okay, i love you. Be careful." He pouted.

I crouched down and he gave me a kiss on my cheek. I wrapped him in a big hug and sighed.

"Raye be safe and don't get into any trouble, goodbye"

I sped off to get to my jet before it left me, and I was on my way to Nathaniel's. When I arrived I went to the office and found Edward.

"Oh, hey. I'm back." I said.
