I groaned. It took me awhile to process what was going on. Where was I? It was dark here, without the tinest source of light. Someone stirred beside me. Was it Jason?
"Jason?" I asked. The figure below me groaned. My heart thumped wildly. What if it wasn't him.
"April?" He asked. I fell to the ground.
"Mikael!" I creid out. I was dismayed yet overjoyed. I wasn't alone, but what was going on. Why did he have to go through this.
"What's going on?" He asked. I couldn't help but cry. I angrily shook my head, srying to rid myself of them.
"I don't know," I whispered. "I don't know where we are or who's with us. What's happened to the others? Are they here? Is Kimberlee alright."
"I don't know. It was so chaotic," he replied. I buried my head in my hands. What was happening?

I couldn't understand where everyone went. Zeke, Alex, Cappy, and I had found Kimberlee, but everyone else wasn't to be seen.
"Do you think they were takin capitve or something?"I asked. Kimberlee was being helped by Alex, who lent her one shoulder for the time being.
"No, I don't think that would happen and I definitely don't think they left....at least I don't think they would've,"She answered and we all glanced at each other.
Zeke was still icy and he scouted ahead of us. The house was much bigger than it had looked on the outside. It was like some optical illusion. Oddly creepy and small on the outside, while being classy and huge on the inside. Of course we had checked some rooms that resembled more of a dungeon, like the place we found kimberlee at. We walked down halls that were actually bigger than my whole house and much eerier. Then I heard it...
"Lulu...Lulu..." It was a voice, somewhere in the distance. I could hear its hypnotising ring.
"Hey, do guys hear that?" My voice was distant.
"I don't hear anything but-" Zeke began and stopped, eyes wide and mouth agape. We all stopped and listened, Alex looked around.
"Maybe if we follow it, we'll find the others."Kimberlee said and we all agreed. Making our way to the voice wasn't at all as hard as I thought it might be. It was as if it was showing us the way without actually doing so. A door seemed to appear out of nowhere. It was oddly familiar. Like the door to the room we had found Kimberlee in. Nobody moved.
"Well is anyone gonna open it?"Zeke asked.
I stepped forward and opened the door, the cold metal turning in my grasp. As soon as my feet touched on the other side I felt something laso around my waiste and before I could utter a sound I was flying through the air. I could hear Zeke scream my name and the last thing I saw was a golden mirror leaning against the wall.

"Lulu," I shouted and ran after her. Before I knew it I felt the ground under fall away, but I wasn't really falling, yet. A second later I felt the rush of air, and I was spiraling downward, head first. There was nothing but darkness around me, After what felt like an hour, and my body hit no ground, I pulled out of the spiral. With my stomach facing down, I constiontrated and tried to solidify some dew around me to make something to stand on. Nothing came though, the area around me was a dry hole of dark nothingness, with no-.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed in pain. I felt a shocking pain, still shouting I trembled. I looked around and saw I was in a lake of icy water. My back was screaming in pain, but if this had not been water then I would be dead. Though water can be the same as jumping onto a side walk when you reach a certain height, it stays softer for me, no matter what. Though not to landing on a pillow, it still hurts, just not as much as it would the average person.
I pulled my self onto my back, and looked around, the place was just as dark as above, except for some small dots of light. These light were below and gave no help for me. I was trapped in darkness then, I thought, but then remembered my powers. Submerging myself in the water, I looked for the lights, and came across some weird aquatic plants. But more amazing was what I saw by their light. About fifty yard from me was a wall, and at the bottom of this, around forty yard pool, a tunnel.
Immediately I swam under, making a bubble for me to breath from, soon I was at the bottom, where I was able to make a larger bubble, I was able to run to the tunnel, and then my bubble collapsed. Now determined, I swam up fast, a bubble still on my head and broke the surface in a few moments, later.
Around me was light now, though scarce and I'm, it was there. I was still in a cave, though not in water.
"hello," I yelled, and got no response.
I kept yelling, as I walked to the light, and emerged into the outside, around me trees. I was in some sort of forest, and now with light felt so tired, with the last of my energy I climbed up a tree, and fell asleep on a thick branch.

"Is that you, Zeke?" I screamed, desperately frighten. It seemed like someone said 'hello'.
I walked to what I thought was the source of the voice, keeping my head high on the side of my body, ready to fire something if needed. I walked for several minutes and I did not found anything or anyone. Just these damn trees! "Is someone out there? Anyone?" I screamed. Was I alone? I started crying. I hated to be alone, specially in a place I don't know.
Someone grabbed me from behind a covered my mouth. He turned me around, and I say Zeke, telling me to be quiet.
"Oh, thank God!" I whispered and hugged him, "Now what?" i asked a bit anxiously.
*is it ok, bolt?*
Piglet: How do you spell love? Pooh: You don't spell it. You feel it.
My head was heavy and dizzy. I felt like for the tenth time today my thoughts were foggy but this time it wasn't due to alcohol. Things were barely coming into focus. My legs still weren't sturdy from the sudden drop. I had been falling through darkness when out of nowhere my flailing arms had found a tree branch. I had lost my grip somwhere along the line and now found myself splayed across the forest floor. Slowly I raised myself onto my elbows.
"Hello!"I heard someone call. "Hello?" It came again.
I looked around for the person, but only saw trees. Trees and trees, everywhere. Tall trees that stretched to the heavens and branches that started at ground level. The only weird thing was the leaves. They were silver and gold.
"Hello!" I called back but no reply came.
"Is someone out there? Anyone?" I heard a female voice scream and this time I knew I recognized the source. Zane.
My legs were still fragile from the fall and I grabbed at a nearby branch for support.
"I'm here! Zane, I'm here!" I tried to shout but my feet gave out at the last word and instead I whimpered into the dirt.
*Someone could find her....*
If I can impact one person, just one, with my writing before I die, then I've lived a great life
"We've got to find Jason," I told Mikael. He nodded.
"Jason," I called. I ran around the lake, heading for the woods.
"Over here," someone croaked. I spun around, Mikael right behind me.
"Jason!" I yelled, helping him off the ground.
"What's going on?" He asked. "There was a voice...a mirror. Where's everyone?"
"We don't know," Mikael responded. "That's what we're trying to figure out."

Zeke seemed a bit relieved too.
"Now, we walk. there must be some kind of civilization around. If the night falls, and we find nothing, we'll search for cover," I nodded. We started walking east, where there was some kind of small trail. Along the walk, I heard something move in the bushed. I put my hand up, and someone sat o their knees. I fired a water jet, and missed for an inch.
"Lulu!" I shouted. I hugged her, and Zeke helped her up. "Oh, I'm sorry." Now I was glad I missed.
"It's ok."
"Maybe we should let her rest a bit," I whispered to Zeke.
Piglet: How do you spell love? Pooh: You don't spell it. You feel it.
"Yeah rest, that's good," I said before I collapsed.
I was still in pain from my fall, It had hit me after I got down the hardest, I wondered how I even got from that cave with out it killing me/
"You okay?" Zane asked.
"Yeah, great," I said, though pain was in my voice, " I just need some water," I added, and swallowed a bubble I made appear from lingering vapor.
"You think we can get some?" Lulu asked.
"Yeah sure," I said and conjured some up in ice glasses. Everyone drank heatedly for a bit, then when we were done I said.
"Okay it is going to get dark soon, the sun says that much. for now lets just set up camp, I'll go look for food in a bit," They nodded, and I tried to get up, but pain ran through every fiber of my body and I fell hard back down. The pain was getting worse by the second.
"Okay, you are not saying your fine now," Lulu said.

I was falling through nothingness. Is this how I'm going to die? I wondered.
That's when I saw the tops of trees, and the ground. . .the ground! I concentrated with all of my will and manage to make the ground turn to soft sand and come up , as I was about to hit. It wasn't so hard, but still kind of hurt.
"Where am I?" I whispered I looked around and saw nothing. "Hello!" I shouted.
The only thing that answered me was, some one shouting. . .no screaming.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I looked up to see Zire falling towards the ground. I did the same thing for him, except I made the sand float up so he wouldn't get hurt as much.
He hit, and for a moment I thought he was dead till he started to move around. "What happened?" he moaned as I helped him up.

**Alright, so due to having wrecked my knees yesterday, the trip ended sooner for me than I expected. In short, I'm back
Jack
I'd been separated from the rest of the group shortly after we'd broken into the house. I could hear voices, and more importantly, I could feel emotions, but I was desperately trying to keep away from the three kidnappers. It was almost as though I could sense their powers, like they were connected with their feelings. The super-strong woman was an aura of hatred swirling through the half-demolished house, whereas Carlos seemed to have a more controlled feeling about him.
Jack. Something whispered in my mind. I froze. Could that be Kimberlee?
I looked around frantically, thinking hard, Kimberlee! Where are you?
The voice sounded much closer to hers the second time I heard it, This way.
It directed me towards a door that materialised from apparently nowhere. The wood seemed to flow like water, the cracks and patterns on the varnished surface twisting a little. The metal door handle was cold to the touch, and the door whined a little on rusted hinges as I pushed on it.
Unlike what I'd expected, the room was relatively barren. Devoid of light, except for a pale glow glinting off a mirror sitting in one corner. I'm behind the mirror, Jack. I can't move. The voice I thought was Kimberlee said.
I started towards it, frowning a little. Something wasn't quite right here, "Kimberlee? Why don't you just talk?"
I reached forward to push the mirror aside, and a single long tendril, silver like mercury, lashed out of it. It coiled around my arm, and I yelled, trying to pull away from it. More of the tendrils shot out, wrapping around me and pulling me in as the mirror gave way to a black void.
I fell for what seemed like an eternity, distant echoes of what I knew to be my friends reaching to me through the darkness. Fear, confusion, indignation at the trap. Emotions that could only be them, and bore their flavour. I blinked, and the darkness was gone, replaced with a brief view of an unfamiliar landscape.
A tree rushed up to meet me a bare moment later. I tore through the canopy, hitting multiple branches on my way down. Twigs scratched at my face, arms and legs, drawing tiny beads of blood. Finally, one of my legs was caught in the gap between two branches, and I was left, suspended upside down with no one in sight. The knowledge that my friends were nearby was a very comforting one, even if they were going to find me in an amazingly undignified position.
I folded my arms, deciding that when they did find me, I'd at least get a laugh out of acting as though I was meant to be here. "Hello?" I called out, "Can I get some help over here?"

The sky was starting to darken and little creatures could be heard scurrying through the forests.
"Zeke, I think I should stand guard. You've been out here for at least two hours," I pleaded with Zeke.
"I'm fine and if I were you I wouldn't be talking." He shot back. That stung my pride a little. I mean so what if my legs hurt so bad from the fall that I needed an old branch as a walking stick.
He yawned,"Why don't you go back to sleep and let me handle this." He pointed back toward camp, where Zane could be seen sleeping on a huge slab of rock.
"No. You look exhausted and I promise that if anything happens I'll wake you. So please go to sleep and let me take it from here." I countered.
He gave me a long look, as if to see if I was lying, then sighed."Fine, but be careful."
"Aren't I always?"We both glanced down at my legs and he grinned before walking over to Zane.
It was going to be a long night. I could already feel the temperature falling and the tree leaves were starting to glitter. Such an odd place....
