To Save the World

[Audi Rosario]

"Okay, this is enough!" I practically shouted, a flutter of cards passed before me and the echo of my voice reverberated. The walls seemed to shudder... maybe it was just me.

Everyone in the room jumped a bit--even Nathaniel. I sighed deeply and picked up one of the cards, twisting it until it intertwined between my fingers and I could rip it in half. My head was throbbing and I could feel the temper and impatience inside rising.

"There is nothing to do," I growled lowly, glaring at the window opposit my side of the table.

Nathaniel stared off blankly, shrugging. "Go find something to do, then."

"I did," my little house of cards was now sprawled across the marbled floor as if a twister had gone right through it, leaving nothing but despair. Dead kings and queens and jacks and jokers...

"Find something else," Antonius murmured.

I stood up suddenly, the shriek of my chair against the floor screaming in my ears. No one else moved, or looked surprised, or even glanced my way. I started pacing--almost stomping as I turned and walked my sixth time back and forth.

"Why don't we just go see Maisy? Or at least let me go..." I pouted, stoping. "I'm sooo bored here Nathaniel!" with that, I stumbled over to the table and threw my self down melodramatically. "Nate..." I whined, looking up at him with puppy eyes.

Edward Marconi- Darkness- Bad

I repeated her own question back. “What are you up to? No doubt stalking me.”

My comment didn’t seem to etch a mark in her beautiful face. Quite attractive were the words I would have chosen.

“I kind of overheard you talking on your phone. You seem angry.”

This girl could read people like a book. That was something I didn’t like because Audi did it to me all the time. Like a silent torture.

“Just someone who can’t mind their own beeswax. If you’ll excuse me, I need to go.”

“But—“

But before the girl could ask any more questions, I enveloped myself in the usual shroud and walked away. I was a stranger, and I liked being that way.

Maisy; Matter; New York

Gradually, Maisy began to feel comfortable. The room was warm and lively, filled with quiet chatter and the wonderful aroma of cooking: the tangy scent of sizzling bacon infiltrated her nostrils and alongside that was the cheesy, sultry smell of what had to be omelette. People bustled back and forth, now content to pay her little heed and yet, at the same time, they were also willing to talk.

However, she felt a stab of sorrow that the little girl could not speak. Masiy could remember her time in the orphanage, how awful it had been to have no real voice of her own, to not be listened to, to be hurried on from home to home without her opinion ever being taken into consideration. But to not be able to speak at all? How awful that would be...

"You have a very pretty name," Maisy said softly, looking at Sylvia rather than Drake. She did not want to be rude but at the same time, she felt much more able to talk to the child than the woman close to her age. Sylvia smiled and surprised both young woman as she moved forwards to take Maisy's hand and squeeze it tight.

Maisy didn't know what to do. She looked apologetically up at Drake, surprised to find her expression was not one of worry. If the woman felt any apprehension at all, it was well hidden. Maisy looked back down at the tiny hand holding hers and smiled shyly. When was the last time someone held my hand...? She couldn't remember. Certainly not since her thirteenth birthday.

"How old are you?" Maisy asked after a prolonged silence, not knowing what else to say. Her experience with people was limited to the members of the bad side, her colleagues and her father, and those she had been taught to treat as her enemies: these people, the guardians and the innocents.

"She's seven," Drake said.

"And you?" Maisy raised her eyes to meet those of the older girl, finding them to be seemingly hard at the edges but soft and kind in the center.

"Eighteen," Drake said.

((Ok yeah. No one likes the Guardians I guess. I'm out. Too much going on in my life XD Sorry guys!))

Larella-spirit-bad

He was walking away, She just watched him go. Larella got the feeling that they would meet again soon enough.

"Goodbye," Unsure of his name. The back of him was just as beautiful as the front, She wanted him to stay.

But, She knew he must have important business to get to. The intensity of his leaving presence made her sad, why was she sad she didn't even know the guy. Larella wanted to know him though, she hesitated before talking again.

"Wait...I want to help you...please?" She asked twiddling her thumbs. Larella waited for his reaction, scared to get rejected.

Raye-none-along with sister

Now he waited, his sister said she'd be back soon.

*Where's Maybe? *

[Audi Rosario - Emotion - Bad - Venice, Italy]

Nathaniel swiveled his chair around so that he wouldn't be facing me anymore, but not before he gave me an irritated glare as if I was a five-year-old. I growled and sunk back into my own chair, tapping my finger on the glass table before me as loud as possible. I will get his attention, I made this a goal.

Antonius glanced between the two of us and smiled, almost laughing. "You two are so childish!" he shook his head and tsked.

"You two are so childish! Bla... bla... bla..." I made little talking movements with my hand as I spoke in a low voice to mimic his.

"Just my point..." he smiled smugly.

I glared at him for a moment, but then started back on tapping the table. Nathaniel didn't flinch, but I could smell the irritation just floating off of him. I grinned and started humming an aimless tune that made no sense and had no rhythm, beat, or pattern. He would have to turn around sooner or later--and I could keep this up for a long time.

I threw my phone out onto the table and it landed with a clank! Nathaniel didn't move. Was he sleeping or something? No, I thought. I picked up the phone again, and dropped it. Then again... and again...

"Don't break it," he murmured.

"This is sooo boring!" I whined, flipping open the phone and glancing through the contacts. One, in particular caught my eye. "Has anyone seen Larella?"

"Nope," Antonius spun around in his chair, absently staring up at the ceiling.

I pounded the OK button and the phone started ringing, this time I put it on speaker and in the middle of the table. Then, I awaited, patiently even, for her to pick up. At least she would be more interesting than what Nathaniel was thinking about. I was about to bark at him again when a voice entered the room.

"Hello?"

I grinned wickedly and leaned in closer to the phone as I spoke, "Why hello, Larella!" I laughed slightly, "Now what've you been up to?"

Larella-bad-spirit

Her phone began to ring, She watched the man closely as she whipped her phone up to her ear.

"Oh hey Audi, nothing really just killed few people today.." She replied absentmindedly, though she knew Audi already knew.

"Really? Interesting-" Audi said before being interrupted by Antonius, "What was the reason?" he asked.

"They got in my way while the spirit had control, what are you guys doing?" She asked feeling tired.

Raye-none-along with Larella

*can't write anything he's still waiting*

**Sorry, I didn't have internet this weekend**

Kyle - Weather - New York, New York

I watched quietly as Maisy spoke to Drake and Sylvia, growing more and more relaxed as I saw her sincerity. Of course, we'd have to keep an eye on her to make sure she didn't go running back to Venice, but I don't think my brother was stupid enough to send someone over as a spy. He would've stormed in and started demanding everything we had before he sent a spy. I hoped.

I picked up an apple from the basket set out on the counter and bit into it, frowning at the faint bitterness of it. Trying not to notice the taste and instead put something solid in my stomach, I switched back and forth from watching Maisy talk to the seven-year-old and her older sister to watching Marissa cook.

"Leave that out when you're done," I told Marissa as she dished out the food onto a few light green plates, nodding to the pan. "I'll use it later."

"Only if you promise to wash it," she answered with a teasing smile.

"Promise," I said, taking another bite of my apple.

Nathaniel - Blood - Venice, Italy

I tried my hardest to block out Audi's voice, instead laying out the plans in my head for the third time this morning. We'd need to get started soon, once everyone was together. We didn't have much time to begin with.

**I'll finish this tomorrow, my mom is kicking me off.**

(Edward- Darkness- Bad)-

“Wait… I want to help you… please?”

This made me stop until I heard her cell phone ring. The girl answered it with only three words to give my insides one good kick.

“Oh, hey Audi.”

She knew Audi, so much for her helping me. I left, still tracking down Maisy. The trail was cold, but I eventually caught up to it. About a half hour later I almost walked into a building that I vaguely recognized. It was the headquarters where Kyle and his ban of goodie-two-shoes lived. I growled and walked away pulling out my phone.

It rang for a few seconds before her sickly sweet voice answered. “Hello?”

“When were you going to tell me that Maisy was with Kyle and the rest?”

“Awe, but what would be the fun in telling you?”

“Whatever, I’ll be on the first flight back to Venice. Tell Nathaniel he doesn’t need to worry anymore.” I smirked at the last sentence. It was a past time of mine to drive Nathaniel crazy.

Antonius:

He sighed. Everyone else was up to killing. but not him. He knew that Audi thought the same way also, but reading Nathaniel was much harder.

He groaned and turned, took an applefrom his pocket and bite a piece. I need something to do. he thought

Drake and Sylvia Storm


It turned out that I actually liked Maisy, she was so sweet to Sylvia and her eyes were like mine, filled with something showing she'd been through so much. Sylvia held the woman's hand so tight in her own, the size difference actually kind of funny becayse Syl's hand was so tiny.

"She's seven," I said, answering Maisy's question of how old my baby sister was.

"And you?" Maisy raised her eyes to meet mine, making a kind expression.

"Eighteen," I told her and smiled then sat on the counter beside her, Sylvia looked so happy as I watched her holding Maisy's hand.

"Drake... I have a question and you don't have to answer it if you don't want to" Maisy said to me, her eyes showing a curious look in their brown depths. I cocked my head questioningly, "Well... Why don't you and Sylvia fight with the others?".

"Oh" I said a bit stupidly and smiled at her, "We don't have powers like the others... We're just two regular human beings, well I am... Sylvia is, well... Sylvia."

[Audi Rosario]

"Us? Oh, we're doing fine. Well, at least Antonius and I are, Nate is being Mr. Grumpy right now." I did a fake sigh and Nathaniel gave me another one of his irritated looks. I stuck my tongue out in a response. Beep! "Oops... hold that thought, got another call."

I pressed the flash button on the cell and then set it back into the middle of the table. Edward's tone mimicked Nathaniel's as he went through a small conversation about Maisy and something about Nathaniel worrying. Like that would happen, I should my head and giggled.

"Natey, Edward dear is coming home." I smiled as he gave me a sort of what-the-heck-did-you-just-call-me? look. "It seems Maisy is still over there and that also Larella is in New York, too."

Antonius shifted around in his chair, asking, "Why?"

I shrugged and flipped back to her end of the line, but it was dead. "I dunno, she hung up,"

For the first time in an about three hours, Nate moved. Straightening in his chair and turning to us, his expression serious (which made me laugh, again), and his eyes focused.

"Go on, dear," I smiled maliciously, awaiting whatever was on his mind.

[switching to first person, I'm much better at that.]

Larella-bad-spirit

I looked at the man as Audi took her other line, and gaped. Quickly I sped up to him, and shut my phone.

"Is your name Edward?" I question after he's off his phone.

Edward-

I waited at the airport for the plane I was supposed to catch, bored out of my wits. I really didn’t want to be there, and I really didn’t want to go where I was going… but Nate was probably ticked off and Audi was more than likely annoying him to death while Antonius… I don’t know what Antonius would be doing.

I sighed, letting what darkness there was in the room come and wrap around me. None of the stupid humans would know what I was doing, it would just look as though I was brooding.

“Flight to Venicenow boarding dock A. Flight to Venice now boarding,” said the voice over the PA. Wonderful, that was much quicker than I expected.

I dragged myself up and walked with the crowd of humans, trying not to gag. I hated the presence of plain people and this was much too close.

When we had all seated down, I found a seat by myself and practically slept through the whole trip. One of the flight attendants came within cenimeters of me, planning on waking me up, but I caught her hand.

“Don’t touch me,” I growled. Trying to make my presence unknown, I left before she could say anything and found our building. It was a powerful and tall building, like the businesses in New York. Nathaniel liked to look impressive.

I heard Audi in the room and walked in, leaning casually in the doorway. “You know what, we need to get our own plane.”

.....................

Sorry this was long and pointless. I just wanted to get Edward in Venice as soo as possible.

[Audi Rosario - Bad - Venice, Italy - Emotion]

"You know what, we need to get our own plane."

I spun around in my chair and found Edward, slouched nonchalantly at the doorway, almost grinning. I bolted and leaped up, wrapping my arms around his neck and swirling him around the room with giggles. This close to me he would have no choice but to follow his gut, and right now his gut was telling him to be happy and enjoy it.

I smiled inwardly at the thought of his angered expression when I finally let him go. "That is a great idea!" I agreed, looking over to Nathaniel. "Isn't it?"

"Well--"

"Anyway, it's good that you're home." I let my arms drop as I took a step back and leaned on the table behind me. "I have been so bored here with Natey. He is such a drag... No fun at all," I tsked and shook my head disapprovingly. I heard Antonius laugh, then turning my attention to Antonius, then back to Edward, I said, "How 'bout we go find some fun to do?"
