The Darker Side of The Street

Vecian,

This shadowing idea seems like a good idea, but there's still a gaping hole in the plan. I clear my throat.

"Sure, we can shadow, but we still don't know WHERE to shadow to. I mean, the vampires could be Romanian, Italian, Scandinavian...We can get to Europe, but we still have the same problem we started out with."

Desivy

"What's the problem? I mean, We can shadow to Italy, check it out, shadow to Romania, check it out, shadow to...to wherever! I mean, I do have some idea of cities, but I've never heard of them before. I overheard my father talking about people in Tohanu Nou once, and I found an envelope in the trash that was from Sprachcaffe Village. I have no idea where they are, but they certainly don't sound American. Also," I say, uncertain about sharing so much about my father with his students. Headmasters aren't the most liked people in the world, trust me. Would my trying to help him only ruin him in the end? I shook off my guilt and told them. "Also, my father's human birthplace is Rudov. It's in the Czech Republic. I don't know how it would help, but it could..." I looked up from my shaking hands to find the majority of the room staring at me, whether because I basically just told them where we're going, or because I can pronounce all these European cities perfectly, I have no idea.

ps: If you can't find the cities on some amazing online map, just ask. Or, maybe I should just put them right now......Nah. It'll be more fun to not tell y'all

Storm, Wolf

Storm nodded. "We would only have to use our money for food and shelter! We could go anywhere within a matter of minutes! It just depends on how many people each ghost can carry!"

Ariel
It all started to build up and began to sound good as the time went by.
"I have enough money in my bank account. My parents left me enough there" She said suddenly surprised by her own excitement.

"I give too" Storm said. "I think I have enough money to pay a decent hotel"

For Ariel it was all starting to sound better and better.

Elliot
"I can give money" he said. " I think I have enough. If Storm and I get our money together I'm sure we can pay for a good place to stay and even for our food."

Piggy bank, Elliot heard Garred said with a smile.

Vecian,

I was still kind of skeptical about the idea, but there was no use voicing my worries. Everyone was getting excited by this idea. Figuring that if we were going to do it, we'd have to do it soon, or else the vampires would get away, I spoke up again.

"We need to get going then, right? Lets everybody get their money, and whatever else they need. And all ghosts who are gonna shadow people need to say how many people that they can take."

Garred, Ghost

Everyone was so excited by the idea now that he thought Ariel and Storm would jump out of their skin. It was good plan, he had to give Storm credit! He could maybe shadow 4 or 5 at a time, and there was definalty more than four or five, but then there was Hayley and it all depended on how many she could carry.

Garred suddenly overheard Elliot mention him and Storm combineing money for a decent hotel. He smirked.

Piggy Bank He said, Elliot said nothing. Awww giving me the cold shoulder?! Sniff oh how will I cope?! You excited to go around Europe with Storm? It could be like your honeymoon!

Storm, Wolf

Storm nodded, it was all coming together perfectly. "This is great! Now it all depends on how many people Garred and Hayley can shadow at once!"

"I can do about four or five," Garred said cooly. Storm nodded. "Ok so thats a good amount of us, Hayley how many can you do?"

Elliot-demon
Garred was messing quite tto much with his thoughts but if he didn't attack him, it was only and exclusively for Storm who would ahve punched him back if he attacked Garred.
He waited for Hayley's answer but it never came.
"Haley" he said softly, " Hayley, how many can you shadow"
But there was still no answer.

"I-I don't know, I've never shadowed before" she said quietly.
He could feels his pressure drop, could it be possible that a ghost has never shadowed before?

Ariel-witch
Well, that was certainly a disadvantage, making Garred shadow too many times could exhaust him to death. Even though it was just last year they were together, it didn't mean she wanted him dead.
"We can make a spell, she suggested" But vecian turned to look at her and frowned.

"that's suicidal Ariel" he said angrily. "That could even kill you" he continued.
She knew it was true but it was worth the shot.

"That'd be losing you" Vecian said quietly.

Vecian,

The thought of Ariel and possibly me making a teleportation spell, or a spell that could enlarge Garred's shadowing ability was terrifying to me. I can do the whole magic thing, but, seriously, this was dangerous. It would be an incredibly long, complicated, not mention tiring spell, and we would have to be with Garred the whole time. If one of us lost our energy, we'd be lost, our molecules scattered. In other words, dead. And I couldn't let Ariel die. She was adamant, though, I could tell, as she stared defiantly into my eyes.

"Well, if we do that, there's only one thing I need," I said, turning towards the changing rooms in the gym.

"What's that?" Elliot asked. I grinned, opening my locker, and pulling out a six-pack of Red Bull.

"Energy drinks,"

Storm, Wolf

Storm nodded, it was definatly going to be dangerous, but it would have to work. "Ok, you guys go work on that now! Everyone else, get any weapons you'll need, something you couldn't go without! And get it fast!"

Everyone scattered and Storm sighed and walked over to Elliot grabbed his hand. "What are you doing?" He asked. She smiled. "You're the only thing I couldn't go without."

Garred, Ghost

Garred followed Ariel and Veican out of the gym and down the hall. "What do you need me to do?" He asked.

Elliot-demon
He looked right into Storm's eyes and smiled at her. Very slowly and carefully, he leaned towards her until his lips gently brushed hers.
"Let's go" he said, still grabbing her hand, grabbing it as if holding on to it just to breath.

"Something I couldn't go without?" He whispered to himself but Storm obviously heard. "My Ipod"
Storm laughed a bit and he turned to look at her. It mus have seem pretty immature but even in a fight, his Ipod was the most important thing. He loved music, and for him, fighting and music got along in a super stranger bond.

"Where do you think we can get some weapons?" She asked him. He shook his head, obviously not knowing, but an idea struck him lightly.

"The principal's office, there must be something there?" He said, a bit unsure. "Hey, Desi, do you think your father had some weapons in the school?

Ariel-witch
She couldn't Say she wasn't afraid, because her fear could even be smelled. Her skin expelled the smell of fear.
"What do you want me to do?" Garred asked them, looking as if he was prepared for everything that might come.

Ariel approached him slowly while Vecian prepared everything for the spell.

"Are you sure?" She asked, her voice close to breaking.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure. " he said. But she was afraid...
for him. That kind of spell was not dangerous only to the witch or the Warlock, it was also to the human to whom the spell is done. If something went wrong...
But she refused to think about it and in that instant, without her even realizing it, she turned to Garred and stopped him from walking.

"Yes, I want you to do something" She said with a firm voice that she didn't know she had.
"Try to stay alive, ok? As hard as you can, just-just-stay alive."

Vecian,

As I prepare the spell, I can't keep my mind from pondering the dangers of the teleportation spell. I shake my head, trying to dispel the images of my friends appearing, half assembled. I look at Ariel, talking in a shaky voice to Garred. Instantly, the terrible pictures leave my mind. Now, I'm lost in a dreamy daze. Now, all I can think about is how beautiful and in all other ways amazing she is. Intelligent, kind...I snap back to the spell. Right. Incense, spell book, etc. Okay.

"Right, guys, I think that we have everything that we need. Lets go get the others," I walk beside Ariel, and tentatively, I take her hand, hoping she won't mind. She turns and smiles at me.

"I just need to know that you're hear," I whisper.

Storm, Wolf

Storm followed Elliot down to the Headmaster's office with a key to the weapons room. As he toyed with the lock, Storm sat on the Headmaster's desk and watched.

"Don't you want any weapons?" Elliot asked taking some of them out. Storm shrugged. "You can't really carry them with paws..." He smiled.

"Still, I'd feel better if you had one." Storm sighed and picked up a pistol, tucking it into her belt.

"So... Garred told me that you don't know if you're my boyfriend or not..." She said slowly.

Garred, Ghost

Garred watched the two of them work on the potion, and couldn't help but feel some of his old feelings for Ariel. He couldn't shake what she said to him.

He had had such a crush on Ariel last year it really took a toll on him, but Ariel never noticed him nor did she show any inclanation to like him also. And now she had Venican, so why should she want him?

"Just tell me what you need from me." He said

Ariel
She felt this strange tickles when Vecian grabbed her hand. She couldn't even doubt it, she liked him. But then there was Garred, who was starring at her, never moving an inch. It was past news that he had a crush on her last year. But the real problem was that she was so shy that she never told him what she felt; she didn't even show certain preference for him.
So It felt a bit weird.
She took a deep breath and answered Garred's question.
"We need you to go to the center" Ariel said, but her voice was shaking and she let that go just grabbing Vecian's hand a little harder. "Whatever happens do not open your eyes" she continued.

"Are you ready?" Vecian asked her, she shook her head and closed her eyes, pulling Vecian's hand closer to her.

Garred, she though for she knew he was going to listen to him. If something goes wrong I'm bringing you back

Just do it, he said stubbornly.

I can't let you die. she said.

Elliot
That totally surprised him, he never thought Storm would ask that. but now that she was mentioning it.

"Umm, yeah, something like that" he said, as they started out the room. "I mean, I don't really know" He hated it, he was stuttering. "It was just a-umm-yeah" He said nothing, great.
But then he took a deep breath and pit it out.
"But...I love you, ok?I care for you more than you can even imagine" he said, shoving his hands in his pocket. "So yeah, I love you"
It was not that hard after all. Maybe saying what he really felt was not that hard.

Garred, Ghost

I can't let you die

Garred felt his feelings surge up against his will, and his eyes filled with tears. Please don't say that Ariel. Just do it.

Storm, Wolf

Storm stopped walking and put a hand over her mouth. "Elliot," she started but found that words couldn't express how she felt. She stood up and kissed him fully on the lips, wrapping her arms around him.

She didn't know how long they stood like that for, but eventaully she pulled away gasping for breath and whispered "I don't consider you my boyfriend. I consider you the man of my dreams."

Elliot-demon
He just couldn't believe it. It was like some sort of dream, almost impossible but it was true.
"And you're the girl I've always dreamed of" He said, kissing her once more.
For some reason, strange reason, in the most difficult situation he found love.

"I love you, but I think I already said that" He said in between kisses, lifting her up until he was holding her from touching the ground. But he loved it. and couldn't stop kissing her.

Ariel
She didn't liked it, nor meant to do it, but she felt the urge to say what she felt. She hated seeing her enxt to tears, losing all his contagious good humor.
I'm sorry, she said quietly. I didn't mean to

just do ithe repeated.

And she turned to Vecian who had his eyes fixed on her.

"Let's do it" she said almost in a whisper. And before they started Vecian carefylly ran the back of his han through her cheek.

"Be careful" he said after a while of silence.
