John

John woke up on a cold metel table his hands tied to the table. Not that he had the strenth to move them "hello John " a misty voice said. A Hooded man looked down at him in one hand he held a golden globe. "are you ready to join me John" John thought for a few seconds "yes, master, just make the pain stop".
"of cource" he said before putting the globe in Johns hand a mark was made on his hand like Liz except it had anthore line through it, the second the mark was made the pain was gone and John felt stronger than ever "what's the third line for"
"Oh you see you can not restore a life without first taking one" he geastured to his left John looked to see the mangled body of his farther. John however felt no emotion "what is thy bidding"
"no no first you have to feed"


John put his hand on the slaves body and watched as the person grew older and older before crumpiling as a secleton."now you are ready, go and kill Melepone, without a leader they are nothing"
"I will try master" John said before leaving baggy robes flapping theatricly, the robe were made of thin silk and he wore no shows.

John looked over at the group. He felt no pain he felt no emotin unless he wanted too this was gonna be a good fight.

We walked along the cold frozen tundra. "That was our last sanctuary. They're all gone now." I whispered sadly. And

it was true. There were no more places left that we could run to for a rest. I was afraid to cry as my tears would

freeze.

Emily

Emily huddled next to Chase, shivering. The real danger of the situation finally setting in. A bunch of penguins passed them, and all of them gaped.

Melpomene led them to an underground cave. "This is the best we can manage," she said. "There is a secret panel in the back."

She led them to a cold room in the rear. It had about 4 cots and blankets on the frozen floor. "Is this it?," Jake asked. He didn't need an answer.

Couldn't stop her teeth from chattering. How can anybody survive like this? she thought.

Chase

"Freakin penguins," Chase muttered to himself.
"What?" Emily asked.
"Nothing." Chase smiled and put his arm around Emily. "We'll figure out something. Right?" He looked up at Melpomene.
"Well, we better," she replied, looking at them all.

Emily

She was just closing her eyes to go to sleep when she heard a shuffle outside. Teeth chattering, she got up from her cot and grabbed her coat and went outside.

The wind was going strong and it was blowing snow, so she could hardly see. Emily saw a dark figure step toward her.

"Wh-who's there?" Emily stuttered. "Show yourself!"

The figure came into view and Emily's jaw dropped. It was John, but he looked different. His eyes looked a little distorted. John stepped closer and she saw that he had fancy clothes on, and his hair was dyed a different color. "Where have you been? We thought you were dead!"

John did not answer, but instead reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun. He pointed it at Emily.

She screamed.

Jake

Emily's scream rang through the air. Jake opened his eyes, sleep crystals falling into them, his vision messing up. In the darkness he could see a figure, his arm out stretched holding something that looked like a gun. Through the streams of light from the window he could see the figure's face, John's face. All he could think to do is run, that maybe John would think he was running away so he could get him from behind. So he ran, like a bullet, toward the door, but John was faster. His shot pierced the night as he sent the bullet flying. Jake cried out in pain as the bullet went in to the flesh at his thigh. His world went black as his head hit the floor.

Emily

Backing up, she felt something whoosh out from behind her. Jake. He ran quickly, but not quick enough. John shot him in the thigh.

After firing the shot, John raced toward her and grabbed Emily, thrusting the gun to her head.

"Everybody out of the cave!" He yelled, and slowly, one by one, all of the kids evacuated their hideout, eyes growing wide as they saw John, and wider still that he had a gun to Emily's head.

"We are going to go for a walk, and no talking!" John shouted, because Melpomene was whispering something to Chase, who nodded.

They started walking, two of them holding Jake up, and the whole time, the gun never left Emily's head.

Chase

Chase was muttering a bunch of curses through his head. Emily was up there and could be killed instantly if John felt like it.

"We have to think of a plan, and we need to make sure Emily doesn't get hurt." That was all Melpomene was able to whisper to him before John told them to shut up. Whatever had happened to John had freaked them all out.

John led them out of the place and out into the bright sun.

The sunlight.

Chase gave a frantic look towards Melpomene to try to get her attention without getting John's.

He had an idea.

John

"Chase step forward please" John said. Chase stepped forward looking puzzled "You have choice to make Chas I'm going to hurt one of you, any of the group, if you don't chose Emily dies if you do chose Emily lives" . Every body looked at Chase, knowing he would never let anything happen to her, "your not going to hurt anyone John, you..."
"I wouldn't," John yelled "yes I would" John pointed at the extra scar on his hand before putting it in Emily's back she screamed for a few seconds until John took his hand off her back. "chose Chase or next time she'll lose more than a few precious hours of her life". Chase thought for a few seconds before closing his eyes, he could squeeze out only one word the name. "Johnathan"
"step forward Jonathan" John said he stepped forward and looked at Chase with hateful but sympathetic eyes "say thank you to Chase , his saved you a much worst death at the hands of much cruller people"
"thank you chase" Jonathan said he closed his eyes and waited for death. John shot Jonathan and Jonathan crumpled to the floor.

*hope no one minds me killing off Jonathan but he's never had a post, I'll edit it if any one dose*

**Oh yeah..it had to be Chase. Nice...**

Chase

"Wait!" he called out, but it was too late. Johnathan fell to ground, screaming. John let go off Emily and pushed her towards Chase.
Emily said nothing, but just looked at Chase, tears in her eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked towards the ground, ashamed of what he did.
"Chase," she whispered and then flung herself at him. She sobbed into his chest as John looked at them, disgusted. Well, everyone looked disgusted.
"I'm sorry," he muttered into Emily's ear. "Really."

I stifled a scream as I saw Johnathan die right in front of my eyes. I supported Jake with one arm and Abi was on his other side. I looked down at the ground, not wanting to see Johnathan, John, or Chase. It was just unbearable.

We were led out of the cave by John and into the blinding light that was reflecting off of the ice. The chill seemed to bite into our bone, past our flesh, but we didn't notice. The shock was still settling in.

Jake seemed to be biting his lip not to make a sound as we moved. His wound was bleeding and it looked painful. We walked silently until we came to a stop a few yards away from the cave.

Chase

"You can talk for a while," John said, glaring at them all. Everyone gathered around in a huddle but Chase and Emily.
"Go," he whispered to her.
"You come."
"No, they're mad at me right now." Emily sighed and walked towards the group.

"Chase, come here," Melpomene looked out of the group a couple of minutes later. Chase gave her a curious look but nevertheless, walked towards them.
Everyone stared him down as he stood next to Melpomene. "What?"
"You have a plan. I know you do."
"Of course. The sun is out. If we don't get out from under it, we'll lose another person."
"What?" Abi asked.
"You know. Remember when we first met when we had to go into the woods. Before we met Melpomene."
"Yeah, but what does that have to do about losing anyone?" She asked, confused.
"Emily."

John

"Chase you didn't disappoint, well actually you did, I expected you too to chose me but then I guess you don't consider me part of the group anymore, do you?". Chase was too busy looking into Emily's eye's so John took the fight to Melepone "I can't wait to see what the Master dose to you, he seem's to really hate you, So dose your old friend"
"You, should of trusted me John"
"you should of trusted me" John said before he grabed Emily and pulled her back Chase clinged on but when he realized he was hurting her he let go "why me John"
"why you, well because if I let anyone else chose they'd let her die, don't worry I was gonna shoot Jonathan anyway". Then without warning Emily fainted

***What is up with Emily and fainting?***

Emily

John had gotten stronger. He lifted Emily up bride style and kept the gun to her back. He glared at Chase, who looked like he was about to kill him.

Deep inside of Emily, her anatomy was wired totally wrong. Instead of getting energy from the sun, it slowly sucked the life from her. She had been careful to avoid the sun for years, but now she had no choice. She was vulnerable to the shining sun, and the ice, reflecting the sun, and making it 10 times worse.

Abi was supporting Jake, who was bleeding profusely, and Melpomene had turned absolutely white. The others were trying to restrain Chase, who was struggling to get to John.

Finally, John spoke, unknowing that Emily was slowly dying.

"Lets go." and they headed off into the blinding light of the ice, unsure of what to do next.

***It's the sun. I got a bit confused for a minute***

Chase

So we are going to die, huh?

"Holy crap!" Chase yelled out, freaking out everyone. Someone's voice was inside his head.

Oh, you can hear me?

It was Melpomene's voice.


**It says at the beginning, "You all share a telepathic thingy mer bobber....blah blah blah..." Yeah, so would this count?**
