The Lost City

Sadie

Sadie snickered as she followed the new faery out the room.
"New girl's got attitude!" She laughed, nudging Lyanna in the ribs. Lyanna winced, and Dylan put and arm out to steady her. Sadie felt a pang of guilt when both the new faery and Dylan sent her similar, annoyed glances. She sighed and fell to the back of the motley group.

Dylan

He didn't know where he, Lyanna, Sadie, and Sharonda were going to wait for the others, but he hoped it would be more comfortable than the hospital. He hoped he was doing the right thing by taking her away from the monitors and her bed. He pushed her wheel chair behind everyone else. He hoped no one would ask any questions.

Then he realized that Lyanna was still in her hopsital gown. "Lyanna where are your clothes?"

Lyanna

Lyanna frowned. "I don't know. I wasn't conscious when they brought me in here." She wasn't sure she wanted to get back into those clothes; her shirt had been pretty bloodied up, and her jeans had ripped.

A nurse came up to them. "What are you doing?! This patient should be in bed!"

Lyanna bit her lip. "Um..."

Sharonda

Sharonda saw what was going on and went to the nurse, looking her directly in the eyes. "This patient is going to leave." Her voice was layered with honeyed tones that you wanted to listen to forever.

The nurse's face went blank as a chalkboard.

"Of course, I apologize," she droned.

Sharonda smiled slightly. "Where are her clothes?"

"In her room."

The nurse turned on her heel and started leading the way at Sharonda's request. Sharonda felt her energy seeping out of her, but she kept up strong. She wouldn't be able to keep this up for too much longer though.

Dylan

Dylan automatically turned Lyanna'a wheelchair to face the direction the nurse was headed. When they entered Lyanna's room again, the nurse went to a drawer and pulled out Lyanna's clothes.

Dylan cringed at the sight. To imagine that Lyanna had been in those clothes and injured not too long ago, he couldn't handle it. He helped Lyanna stand and led her to a bathroom to change. When she emerged again, she was in her clothes. She smiled slightly at him.

"I guess we may need to stop somewhere to get you some new clothes," Dylan said. He helped her into the chair and turned back around to Sharonda, "Okay, now we're ready."

They headed back out into the hallway. They met up with the rest of the group and headed out the doors. No one stopped them or even looked at them, "We're free."

"So where to now?" Gillim asked.



*Let's keep this going!*

~Don't stop believing!~

**Uh... I'm going to try my best to save this.**

Sharonda

Sharonda watched as Gillim and the others left. It wasn't fair! Just because she was younger, she was stuck watching the mortals while everyone else got to go get the action. Why did they even need watching anyway? From what she'd seen they were perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. She turned to Dylan and the other mortals, crossing her arms. "Well? Where are we going? This is your turf."

*thanks for doing this*

Dylan

Dylan looked around, "Well, it's pretty late, so nothing's open right now. And Lyanna needs some new clothes, so why don't you guys follow me."

He turned Lyanna's wheel chair towards the shops, he led them to the good will shop. It was closed, but people always left their clothes out back. "Let's see if we can find something in this."

**No problem. I really enjoyed this storybook. **

Lyanna

Lyanna nodded. She didn't like the idea of stealing, but her clothes were bloody and torn. "Okay."

Sharonda

Sharonda frowned, looking at the mass of clothes. "What am I supposed to be looking for, exactly?"

Lyanna looked up at her. "Size small, or anything that looks like it would fit me."

Sharonda sighed and nodded. A thought struck her. If they can't get the princess back, or can't get back here, I'm stuck in the mortal realm... forever.

**er, is Gillim with you guys?**

**To be fair, the mortal/Sharonda group is the only one posting at the moment. Maybe Gillim could come back and join them or something?**

Sadie

Sadie sighed quietly and looked around at their group. She was still worried about all of this. What if Tanya didn't get back? She was worried that, if that happened, Sharonda would be stuck with them. And Sharonda really didn't look like she was enjoying this. Sadie understood that. She wanted to go to the Lost world. She wanted to experience it. But she was choosing clothes instead.
Come on! she berated herself, what kind of attitude is that?
Smiling despite herself, Sadie walked forward a little and joined the others.

*Okay, this is what is happening. The mortals are being left in the moartal realm, along with Sharonda, to make sure they don't get into any trouble. The fairies are going back to TLC, to go get Tanya. I beleive that's everything so far. You can work things out however.*

**so, can someone please bring me so I can take it from there?**

TANYA

"Ngh," she groaned.

"Ah, the fairy princess is waking up," a gruff voice snickered.

There was the sound of more laughter and Tanya shifted. She felt bruised and broken all over.

Tanya looked up at masked faces and fought a scream. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction. Still they seemed to sense the terror in her. She couldn't help but be afraid. She knew that these people were not here to help her.

"About time, little princess. We were worried about you."

There was more laughter now. Tanya squirmed and winced in pain.

"What do you want?" The words sounded strong and certain, unlike how she was really feeling.

"We've got what we want, princess. We've got you."

*Okay, I'm going to post for Faelara. That way AM can take it and go with it. And this way the others who are faeries can start posting again.*

Faelara

"This way," Faelara led the group to the gardens in the center of town. She wound her way through the trees and bushes nimbly. Faelara stopped when she got to the old oak tree that stood in the center of the garden. She waved her hands over a space in a clock-work motion. The air around her hands started to get hazy, then a portal formed just before the tree. She turned back to the others, "Okay, who's going first?"
