Reign of Darkness (complete)

Jumping of a plane began to sound better and better.
"Ugh!!!!" I said in fustration.
"I wonder if this guy has any friends? If he does it's probably for his money. Know one would want to be friends with such a jerk." I thought.
I usually wasn't this stuck up and jerky.
I just hated this guy.
Why?
Well I dunno. Maybe because he was rich. Filthy rich. I had a problem with those kinds of people. They bugged me.
They could get whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted.
I mean yeah I know that life isn't prefect for them either, but it's not easy for us either.
Besides..he has money.
These kinds of people don't realize that money isn't everything.
You can't buy friendship or family.

Ballow~~
i had abandoned my game after a bit and then heard her. I had not told her about my telepathy and now knew how she thought of me. "you know i do have friends" i said "and they don't just like my money"

"how did you" she said. " i didn't even say it"

"yeah and just so you know i don;t think money is everything, in fact i donate money to charities every week. I pull a name out of a hat then send them a check. You do know that not all rich people are snobby, i am just eccentric, not snobby. I mean if someone Brok something very expensive of yours you would want the money for it right."

She nodded.

"then why can't i do the same. Because I'm rich, that is no reason for it." i hated this girl so much. All she did was think i was a snob. When she was acting more stuck up then me.

"I would if I had the money...but I don't even have a dollar." I said.
"Sureeee." he said.
"I'm serious. I didn't come looking for your brother with a wad of cash in my pocket. Sorry about breaking your door. Wow..." I said.
"What?" he asked.
"This is stupid." I said.
"Wait? What?" he asked confused.
"We are fighting over...nothing. Well excpet for the door." I said.
"That door is expensive." he said.
"Yeah sorry about that." I said.
"Just because I'm rich doesn't mean you can break al-" he began to say but I cut him off.
"Yeah yeah. I know, don't need that lecture again." I said.
"Let's see. I have a razor. Do you want that?" I asked.
"Are you serious?" He asked.
"What?" I said.
"A razor? I have a phone a thousand times better than that. Why would I want a razor?" I asked.
"I dunno. That's like the only thing I have that's worth money." I said.
"Look I know...I'm sorry okay??? You could be forgiving." I said.
"Psshhh...who was the one who broke a 75,000 dollar door?" he asked.
"Okay you know what? You are a-" I began to say but stopped short.
"Okay look I don't wanna fight again. Let's start fresh. Hi, my name's Julie. What's yours?" I asked sticking out my hand.

Ballow~~

"hey I'm Ballow, but you still owe me the money, its not the door anyway, you fried my favorite game with that soda."

I ignored his last comment and continued on with the conversation.
"So...Ballow?" I asked.
"Yeah." he said.
"Nice uhh..name." I said.
"Okayyy???" he asked.
"Yeah. Very unique. Julie's a pretty common name." I said.
"I guess?" he said.
"So howja get that name?" I asked.
He looked at me like I was crazy.
"What?" I said.
"I'm bored. There's like what two hours left?" I asked.

Ballow~~

"dad" i said plainly. "he was in a hippie phase when he had me. Though that lasted for a few days after, he never changed it. So, we got two hours, so you like foot ball."

"yeah why?" she asked.

"simulator" i said. " i have simulators for games i can't fit in here, so you want to play or not. Its almost just like real thing."

"sure" she said and we walked to another closet.

"okay this is how you play" i instructed. " you get on the sensors, and mask. Then you move your body to do all the normal movements. You run in place and the platform and sensors judge speed. Then to tackle go forward and hit the bag there, and if its hard enough it works. Got that"

"she nodded. So we quickly slipped on the sensors and began the game.

"Wait so am I like tackling you?" I asked.
"Yeah." he said.
"Bring it on." I said.
We warmed up by "passing" the ball back and forth a few times.
Then we actually began to play.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lol you write how we play. I'm havingg writer's block.
BTW do you know any good support\wraps for running?
We have a meet comingg up in like 1 day && my legs are killing me.

* no idea*

Ryan~~

On the word Damien Spoke i left for the girls hotel room. I knocked but got no repley. So i entered the unlocked room to see a blond haired girl on the bed.

"Cadence, right" i asked.

She nodded.

"so you going to back to England so i hear" i asked again.

"yeah" she said softly, i could tell she was holding back some pain.

"why?" i asked.

"because." she started. "i don;t belong here. I want to get away from the shadows, from the fear, and this strange place."

"that won;t help" i said sternly. " you think that the shadows are not there. You think they would not have gone there to attack, do you, then you would be wrong. Why would they only come here, when more of the world can be taken. That is just ridiculous to me. You think the fear will stop. It won;t either, you will fear the place you call home the same as here, but you will also fear for the friends you have made here. You will fear what happens to them, that i know for sure. And you think that place won;t be strange. Well yet again wrong. The place you will go will be just as strange. It may look the same, but not feel the same. The people will be afraid, The shadows hunting, and your fear just as strong." After that i looked at her, but her head was down. "but if you still want to go i will not stop you. i just don't like seeing people make rash decisions, with out me trying to explain what might happen."

Cadence~

She couldn't help staring coldly at the boy, Ryan, who had burst into the room, practically scolding her. Though he really wasn't, Cadence felt like he was.

"You don't understand," She squeaked. She shifted her wait, biting down on her lip and squinting her eyes closed to prevent herself from crying out. "Maybe if I just went alone then everyone else would be okay... no one would be in pain anymore because of my stupid plans..." She muttered, more to herself.

Ryan looked at her. "I told you what would happen," He shrugged.

"So. Maybe you're wrong." Cadence bit down on her lip, but the pain emotionally, and physically was too much to bear. She pulled her knees up into a ball, and she buried her head in her knees, letting the tears stain her pajamas. Where was Spencer?

That's all I've got.

BTW: Nice picture Bolt. XD Kisame.

Ryan~~

"hey" i said. " i never ordered you to do anything. I was just telling you that running has never helped me. "

______

Sorry for the one liner, i can't think of what tor write.

Cadence~

"I--" She clutched her heart. She coughed, blood spattering her blanket. "I... know you are just saying that... but I'm not you!"

She grimaced, the pain becoming unbearable. The shadows were a hefty enemy, that was for sure. But how could someone so human survive this?
- - -
That's all I've got...

~Rei

Ryan~~

"never said that either" i said. "just usually that rule goes f-" i never finished my sentence. Suddenly Cadence Wailed and i turned to see her coughing up some blood. I had to get her to a doctor and fast. So i picked her up and then ran out of the room. I ran trying to find someone then found Raven and Maribelle in the game room . Good.

"quick. Cadence isn't doing so good we need to get her to a doctor fast." i said quickly. Then without a word the three of us ran for the car.

Cadence~

"Put me down!" She yelled loudly when she stopped drifting in consciousness. Ryan did as she asked. She stumbled, but caught herself. Raven, Ryan and Maribelle looked at her questioningly. She ignored their concerned eyes that bored through her like screwdrivers.

She hobbled back to the room, locking herself in the bathroom. She pulled herself onto the toilet seat, and clutched her knees again, breaking down and crying violently. "I-- put-- everyone-- through... so... much-- trouble!" She wheezed between gasps and sniffs and sobs. "Why do they even care about me?"

Cadence knew at that moment that if people were going to get hurt because she allowed them to get close to her, than she'd just shut everyone out. It was as if, to her, a light had been flicked off, and only a faint glow from a candle-- the candle in her heart-- that was quickly withering away was all that still shone. Cadence had given up. Let the shadows take me this time! I don't care!

Like your new avatar, Rei!

Sorry for not posting much. I’ve been busy.

~Raven~

Mari was beating me up on ‘Ninja Attack’. Maybe it pays to be playing a sumo wrestler instead of a nerdy-looking girl…

The new guy, Ryan I think his name was, ran into the game room carrying Cadence, her lips covered in blood. She was coughing up more of the red liquid. Not good.

“Quick, Cadence isn’t doing so good. We need to get her to a doctor, fast,” he said, heading back out. We were quick to follow. But by the time we were in the lobby, Cadence jerked awake and bellowed “Put me down!” She ran back to I guessed our room. Mari and Ryan and, well, I, stared with our mouths agape like little idiots. I rolled my eyes at myself and headed back to our room also.

By the time I got there, loud sobs were coming from the bathroom. And the locked door to said room just screamed that Cadence was in there. I felt bad for her. Not that I knew how she felt just yet, but… I had let myself become attached to her. I dunno why I was, that sort of thing happened all the time. I was more like a gothic attractor. Horror and relationships followed me no matter how hard I tried to shake them off my trail.

“Hey, Cadence, you alive still?” I asked after knocking on the door. I heard her try to toughen up before answering.

“Yes, I am,” she said, her voice quivering.

------

Uhhh… that’s all I have for her conversation piece. I didn’t really know what she would say and I didn’t want to mess it up.

She wouldn't say much! XD I forget where Damien is... *laugh out loud*

Spencer~

Spencer scuffed his foot along the road. The lamplight was eerie to him, and sky looming above. He felt so tiny and insignificant. Maybe Cadence was right... maybe they should got back. But... Raven..., he lets his thoughts stop and trail off.

It was stupid for him to be getting tangled in a relationship with a girl like Raven. She was much too cool to like some 'gentleman' from England. He slammed his fist into a wall. Pathetically he pulled it back, shaking off the pain and grunting. He really hoped no one saw him.

"Hey there," A female voice purred. Spencer turned around. A girl was strutting towards him. She wore a too-shirt skirt, heels, red lipstick, and a tank-top. Her red hair was piled on top of her head. She licked her lips.

"What cha doing out here all alone, cutie?" She came closer. Spencer stared at her. He was about to offer her his hand, when he saw her eyes flicker. They went dark. Then they went back to the narrowed and almost determined blue gaze as before.

Then her head twitched from side to side at a blinding speed. He stumbled back. Her head was turned to the side, but she slowly turned it towards Spencer, a wide grin on her face. A shadow...

Spencer knew there was no escape. He couldn't climb walls... but....

Suddenly a rat scurried by. He stared at it, then up at the girl who was shifting into her malicious black form. Then he looked back down at the rat. "Sorry little guy!" He whispered, bending down and catching the rat with his hand.

He felt his soul leave one body, tranferring to another. Then he scurried underneath her feet.
- - -
Here's a problem for you: Spencer's soul just left his body. A shadow looking to take his body. What happens to his body if it is taken by the shadow? Does he stay a rat? Find out in the next edition of Reign of Darkness: Take Two- Spencer's story!

Sorry, overboard.
