The Safeway

(Dinah Lynch)

Dinah shrugged off a feeling she had had just seconds ago when she touched Korah's shoulder. She'd seen. She'd actually seen him through her sunglasses. But when he'd fallen unconcious her blindness had come back to her, plunging her back into the blackness she'd always known. Now wasn't the time to get excited though, there was a dying woman in the room and Gerogie was being strange.

"I think something is telling me to heal her." Georgie said.

"What?" Dinah asked, but the other girl soon shooshed her and walked to the unnnamed lady who Dinah had felt a familiar aura over. A chilling feeling came over Dinah as she saw Georgie put her hands over the woman.


(Bobby Farbor)

The entire room was silent as Georgie healed the woman. Bobby sat up from the other bed to watch in awe. She was a mutant! No one could have seen that coming. There was no warning at all, not even Dinah had seen Georgie becoming a mutant. Bobby sure hadn't smelled the mutant fliud in her blood. Strange he thought.

A few more moments of silence and the woman looked good as new, her eyes fluttered open and she instinctly looked at Bobby. A deep darkness in her eyes that not even he could explain. Something jerked her attention away from him, though. She looked at Dinah, who now had her sunglasses off and was staring straight back at the lady. Into her eyes. The lady smiled an evil smile and had a look on her face as if to say, "Well that's one surprise after another."

"My name is Nhara, I'm very sorry for any trouble I've caused you" the woman said in a sweet, innocent voice. Bobby noticed Dinah again, who had gone still, obviously into a vision. She was trembling with the fainted Korah in her arms. Something wasn't right...


EDIT: RAWR! I SKIPPED THE LAST BIT OF DSF'S POST... (is to lazy to rewrite) PRETEND ITS WRITTEN RIGHT, PLEASE? . (she still saw Korah though)

*sigh* I guess that is all okay. If you read my post you would have seen that Korah healed both Bobby and the Woman before he fainted. But I won't get mad since it was rather long if I do say so myself. Anyway I guess that is all cool. And Its cool if Georgie's power is healing, because Korah works as healing but it can also repair objects. Can we change it a bit and say that Korah healed and repaired most of the Organs and then fainted, so Georgie stepped up and finished the healing process? Anyways Korah's gift goes a bit beyond healing in fact since it could even restore lost limbs, or possible even Dinah's eye sight.

Aghhh and sorry to complain but can Nhara not smile an “evil smile” Monday, I mean come on she wouldn’t be that obvious.

Nhara – Darkness

Nhara woke slowly, her head spinning and reeling as she lurched forward out of her bed. A nearby nurse caught her, and steadied her whispering, “It’s okay, your safe now, just lie down.”

“B-but how?” Nhara asked, her eyes wide in terror, “I don’t remember what happened!” Which was true, she had blacked out after that stupid dog had attacked her. Then she remembered her side! That damn dog had bitten straight into her! She quickly reached down to her side but froze when she saw that there was nothing there, only a slight scar that ran up her ribs. “What?” she whispered, truly amazed as she felt the skin.

“Your healed,” a nearby man said.

Nhara looked up, but her eyes landed on a girl in front of her first. Their eyes locked for a brief moment and Nhara felt a slight shiver course its way down her spine. This child… was she… blind? As Nhara looked into her eyes an almost hidden sense of terror began to claw its way up from her stomach and she quickly tore her gaze awake, shaking her head as she sat back, feeling slightly dazed by the whole thing

Looking over she saw the others were staring at her and said, “My name is Nhara, I'm very sorry for any trouble I've caused you,” she whispered as she slowly looked down on her sheets, her body shaking, almost from shock as she looked up at the man in front of her and said. “I don’t understand, how am I alive? I thought… I thought I was dead.”

“You almost were,” the man replied as he heaved himself up to his feet, “And you would have been if that kid, and this girl over here hadn’t healed you.”

Damn dogs Nhara cursed again as she looked over at the fainted child and the young girl. So they had healers, how interesting, but hardly what she was after.

“I’m sorry to question you right after you wake up,” the man said, “But there are some things we must know.”

“Of course, ask away,” Nhara answered.

“Well I’m bobby,” the man said, “And I would just like to know how in hell you found your way down here?”

“I-I don’t know,” Nhara murmured, “I was running, from that dog thing. I am from a settlement about five hours from here and yesterday we were attacked by these mutant dogs. They killed nearly everyone but a small group of us fled. They have been following us ever since, picking off the few of us that remain one by one. I was the last, that… thing was chasing me, and I thought it had me when I just started to fall…”

“Fall?” Bobby asked.

“Yes,” Nhara whispered as her face scrunched up in fear. “I don’t know what happened, it was like the ground opened like a dark hole and I fell in, the Dog to.”

“Interesting,” Bobby murmured. “Nhara, are you a… mutant by chance?”

“A what?” Nhara asked in surprise.

“A mutant,” Bobby answered, “Do you have special gifts? Can you do things that normal humans can’t?”

“I don’t think so,” Nhara said, her voice shaking slightly in fear as she curled up a little tighter. “I… I just wanted to survive. It was coming after me, and I just wanted to live, I didn’t want to die!” She was sobbing now, her voice coming out in hoarse sobs as she buried her face into the sheets and began to sob uncontrollably.

Victoria slightly glared at Robby, as if telling him, way to go. “I’m sorry if I disturbed you, I was just curious on how you got here,” Bobby said, somewhat sheepishly about the whole thing.

**Haha! Sorry, my mind went horribly blank at that point**

(Dinah Lynch)


I was standing in an office I'd never known before. But somehow, its smell was familiar. This vision I was having was so very different because everything seemed to already have been a part of my life.

"Your daughter is a mutant, Sarah" went a voice that sent chills down my spine. I turned around and saw a man dress in a black suit. His salt and pepper hair perfectly combed a top his head. Something caught my eye back behind me, and that's when I wanted to start screaming.

"She's one of those freaks!?".

"The mutants aren't freaks, they're simply perposely made creatures."

"But why my daughter?"

I heard no more between the lady and the man, I was now just staring at a little girl watching a fish tank. She had an angle-like face and long, white-blond hair. She couldn't have been a day over three. The girl whipped her head around to stare at me. I mean she was staring right into my eyes.

"Mommy, Mommy! Look!" the girl said, pointing at me. "I told you angles really did exist!".


(Bobby Farbor)

"“I’m sorry if I disturbed you, I was just curious on how you got here,” Bobby said, somewhat sheepishly about the whole thing.

"No!" went the air splitting scream. Dinah was rolling on the floor, kicking her legs into the air and holding her hands over her eyes. "No!" she repeated. Bobby instantly ran to her aid, picking up her tiny body and holding her to him as if she was still a child.

"Its okay, Dinah. Its okay" he said and repeated over and over again.

Victoria

"Dinah!" I knelt on the other side of Dinah. "What's wrong?" I whispered in her ear while brushing her hair back.

Everybody was standing close to see what was going on. "Give her some room guys," Bobby ordered. Everybody took a step back.

"Shh, Dinah, it's okay, we're here for you." I cooed. Her head was hot, too hot. I continued to stroke her hair, stopping when I found Bobby's hand. Immediately I looked up at him, and moved my hand.

**Bobby is an idiot when it comes to girls. I repeat, he is an idiot!**

(Bobby Farbor)


Bobby looked at Victoria, confused at why she stopped stroking Dinah's hair. But, then before he could say anything, Dinah removed her hands from her eyes and looked at the floor.

(Dinah Lynch)


"That's what I thought..." she said, obviously trying to reasure herself about something.

"What did you see, Dinah?" Victoria asked.

"That's just it" Dinah started but then paused. "I saw me. Seeing".

Victoria

"You saw yourself?" I asked.

Dinah started to sit up, Bobby kept his hand on her shoulder and I looked nervously to the floor.
I wonder if I slapped him in the face would he'd finally get it through his thick skull that I cared for him?

"I'm seeing," she corrected.

"What do you mean?" Bobby dropped his hand and put it on his own forehead, looking confused, just as confused as he was about everything female.

I needed to get out of here. My mind wasn't focusing. My head was pounding. A nauseating feeling came over me.
"RUN VICTORIA!" A dark vision flashed before my eyes. I kept my composure, but looked up at Bobby, hoping he'd notice, notice I needed somebody.
Stop it Victoria, he doesn't notice but Dinah will and if you don't stop this foolish schoolgirl behaviour she'll bug you about it later. I focused back at the situation.

(Dinah Lynch)

"I mean... I can't see, but I saw. When I was beside Korah I saw him. The vision I just had, I saw myself" Bobby and Victoria obviously didn't get it. "I saw myself while I could still see! Before Bobby found me... And, the little me. Saw me now and told my mother-" Dinah stopped talking then.

"Your mother?" Bobby asked, way confused.

"She called me a freak, that's what she thought of her own daughter."

Victoria

Bobby and I both tilted out head, like a puppy who doesn't understand what it's master is commanding.

"You can take this one Bobby." I said, sounding like a parent who didn't want to change a diaper.

I looked at my surroundings, but only saw blackness. Somehow I had managed to get lost in a ventilation system where no light shone and none was produced either. The hopelessnessof the situtation hit me and struck a nerve.

I began to laugh. How goddamned stupid was that I got lost in a ventilation shaf which was locked? My smile etched into a grin as I rolled around in the confined space clutching at my sides in hysterical laughter.

With a groan I heard something give way underneath me. The entire panel cracked out of
and I began to fall. The decent gave me a shrt lived adrenaline burst which allowed me to turn myself around and land on my feet like a cat.

The smile slipped off my face as I remembered the time I had eaten a cat for dinner. It regained its place as I seemed to recall that it had tasted good. People staring at me drew my attention. Several of them were surrounding a gril who looked like she was about to have a seisure.

The sight of her made me laugh. She seemed so weak! Like one of the plants I had eaten the other day, ready to be trod on by villainous people. The look she shot me was not one I appreciated and I pulled the gun I had at my hip to point at her head.

Every hair on her head was detailed as I concentrated on the direct middle of her forehead. For a second I contemplated what pieces of her body I would eat, but then as people realised what I was doing they were approaching me.

The way they looked at me made me smile. They were looking at me as if I were insane . . . and I knew that I was. Their beliefs had been true, unlike mine. UNlike the hope that someone would claim me and take me in as their child.

Tears cascaded down my face as I aimed at the closests person leg. Death was not good down here in the Safeway. Escpecially human death, or judging by the way some of these people moved, mutant death.

Aiming carefully I pointed my beautiful gun at their feet and shot. It hit someone's toe with blood curdling scream. I tilted my head and cocked my ear over to hear it. Pain was more than amusing. The person fell to the ground.

An image flashed before my eyes.

A black haired woman clutched at me possessively, but a loud crack rang out and I fell to the floor wailing.

By the time I snapped out of the memory, the others had tackled me down and had wrangled my weapon off of me. The person I had shot was worming on the ground writhing in pain.

The sudden loss of my only personal possession tore at my soul and I lashed out. Laughing I landed a good solid punch in someone's face, but escaped. They hurdled after me, but I dodged them as easily as knife through butter.

One tear slid down my face and landed in my grinning mouth, "You guys are too easy!"

Something hit me from behind smashing the back of my head. The pain throbbed through my whole entire body and as I swaggered around to see my assailant I realised it was the person who had been about to swoon earlier.

I had forgotten about them. I lost control of my body and fell to the floor. I could still hear, see and smell with amazing accurateness, but I was unable to move.

(And just in case you're wondering, that's everyone who's gathered so far. ^^)

(Dinah Lynch)

"Don't kill him!" Dinah shouted at Bobby who had smashed a chair into the back of the kids head.

"He tried to kill you! And he just shot Victoria! Of course I'm going to kill him!" Bobby told her, ready to burn the boy alive. Dinah stared at the boy with her blind eyes, he couldn't have been much older than her from the way his voice sounded. She'd felt something in his mind when he'd aimed the gun at her and looked straight into the blankness of her irises..

Dinah got up from the floor and as she walked, everyone took a step back from her. She took a seat beside him on the ground and turned his head to her once she found it with her hands, placing them on either side of his face she plunged into his memories.

When the memories finally ended with what he was feeling when he pointed the gun at Dinah and being smashed in the head with a chair. Dinah's breathing was coming in loud gasps.

"Do. Not. Kill. Him" Dinah concluded and was the fifth person that day to pass out.

(Bobby Farbor)

"Fine" Bobby said, now picking up Victoria in his arms and placing her on the other hospital bed. He smiled at Victoria, the usual I-promise-you'll-be-okay look and she smiled back, despite the pain in her foot. Bobby, unthinkly placed his hand on her cheek like a husband would do to his wife.

"Mr. Fabor, we should probably examine her foot now" said one of the doctors.

*OH! I'd like Victoria to be the one who got shot, somebody can add that in*

*Oh... Lol! You want me to edit that then?*

Edited!

Victoria

Bobby was holding my face, smiling down at me in a tender way.
When the doctor suggested that he should move: I wanted to grab that boy’s gun and tell them no. However, the pain from my foot had crawled up and was making me dizzy. I began to lose consciousness, but held on as hard as I could.

"Don't leave me," I tried to call out to Bobby.

*Thanks for the edit!*

~Len~

I had barely managed to catch Dinah before she passed out. For a moment, I felt a bit awkward just holding her like that but he shifted her weight and carried her to the nearest hospital bed.

"What did you see?" I murmmered to no on in particular. There had to have been something in her memories that made that guy worthy to live after he'd shot Victoria.

The doctors were busy with Victoria's foot and Bobby was with her, so I stayed with Dinah. Looking at her, I decided I liked it a whole lot better when she was awake. This was the worst part of being with people; you see them get hurt and sometimes you can't do anything about it.

Like now.

"Darn it all..." Len said again, just to the air. Everyone else was so busy with the shooter and Victoria that they didn't notice his stray words. He ran his fingers through his hair nervously, only now noticing how many people were in the room and how tight of a squeeze it was becoming.

Don't panic, if you panic, so will everyone else. Len managed to stay the terror that was starting to flood into him but nothing he could do would stop the trembling that had started.
