"Dang," Monty breath,"I don't see why I continue playin',"He shook his head.Monty never been any good at cards , especially when he was playing with the best dealer ever kitty. Checking the retractable blade in my boot I tie the thin laces in a knot and secure it.
I head over to where Blue stash the goods to check on how much everything cost precisely. Everything she brought was expensive and up-to-date,"Nice job Blue,"I yell over to her.
Blowing circles of smoke,she smirked at the comment,"It is what I do best." She said before she disappeared.

Cutter,

"Did you guys see where Blue went?" I ask the card players. They shake their heads. I snort.

"Figures," I mutter, "Probably got a bottle of whiskey again. I'll go find her."

"You do that," says Bastian, distractedly. The others nod.

I meander down that alley following the scent of cigarette smoke that will surely lead to Blue. I eventually find a broken window in an old warehouse.

"You didn't," I whisper, "Blue..."

There's fresh blood on the broken glass. I leap through gingerly, careful not to cut myself.

"Blue?" I call into the darkness. No answer. I'm about to call again when I hear a sort of scuttling, and then a soft hiss.

"Blue?" I say again, slightly creeped out, "What the hell are you doing?"

This time, the scrabbling is closer, and I hear some mutterings.

"Blue! Come out! I don't need to deal with this!" I back up, and trip over something. The muttering has stopped. I look over at what tripped me. A leg? Then I see that it's Blue, unconscious. I'm relieved until I realize that it can't have been Blue that I'd been hearing. It had been something else.
And remember...A portkey can be any sort of harmless object...A football...or a dolphin.

Kyrai "Kitten"

I shuffled the cards nervosly.
" Cutter's been gone for a while now," I muttered. " You guys think he's okay?"
" Don't be such a priss," Bastian scoffed," he's fine." I snorted at him.
" Ya know, that would have been reasurring if you hadn't called me a priss." He gave a snarky smile and focused his attention on the wall.
" Don't worry," Aushy sang," Cutter and Blue are okay. You'll see."
" Yeah what she said," Monty grumbled, staring at his hand. I stood up and grabbed my crowbar.
" I'm going to check on them," I protested," which way did he go?"
" Towards the cellar but-" I dashed off before he could even finish his sentence.
I climbed through a broken window and scrapped my arm on a piece of glass. Cursing silently I jumped through and got a firm grip on my bar.
" Cutter? B-Blue," I stammered. " You guys- Ah!" A slow hiss sounded from my left and I jumped back quickly. I was running now. " Cutter! Blue! Where are you guys?" I rounded a corner and nearly ran into Cutter, he was knealing over Blue and had his head cocked to the side, listening intently.
" Kitten," he murmered.
" Oh, Cutter! I'm so glad to see you! We have to get out of here!" Blue groaned groggily and shook her head.
" Shh, Kitten," he spat," and get down." Without another word I dropped to the floor and crawled over to him.
" What's going on?"
" Shh!" I clamped my mouth shut and listened. My silence was rewarded with a long hiss coming from my right.
" What's that," I whispered.
" Don't know, but we better get out of here." I nodded and raised slowly, pulling Blue onto my back and buckling a bit under her weight.
" Please hurry, Cutter," I pleaded," whatever that thing is, I don't want to stick around to find out."

BASTIAN

He had followed Kyrai, quietly and unnoticed. He eyed Blue's unconscious body as Kitten tried to get her out of there.

"She's fine," Bastian said, just as blunt and to the point as always. "We've all had worse done to us. What we do need to worry about is WHAT knocked her out."

"Bastian," Kyrai growled. "Blue obviously needs out of here. It doesn't matter if we've seen worse. She's unconscious," she said it as if she thought the boy was stupid

Bast looked around. His eyes darting from one corner to the next. "Yeah? Well get her out of here then. But I'm sticking around. Whatever's in here is a threat and I'll be damned if I'm just going to sit here and wait for it to knock someone else out. Or do something worse."

Cutter,

"I don't want to know what it is either. But it's been circling us. I can hear the hisses coming from different places every few seconds." I whisper quickly, "What we need is a distraction..."

Which comes in the form of Bastian. He starts talking loudly, of course. I motion at him to cut it out, and he glares at me. The hissing has stopped. I whirl around in the darkness, trying desperately to locate it again.

"Oh, hell." I mutter, "We need to get out. NOW!"

We rush for the window, and I make sure that Kitten, Bastian, and Blue's unconscious body are out of the window before turning to look around. I see a shape moving in the darkness, large and indistinct. It growls loudly, and starts moving towards me. I hurriedly get out of the window.

Monty

I quickly whip out my knife, which spins on the attaching screw and almost cuts my hand. I prepare myself to react, and fight, barely hearing what else the others are saying or whats's going on around me.

Cutter,

Apparently the creature has decided that it doesn't want to follow us, because he get back to base unharmed.

"What's going on?" asks Drew, nervously.

"There's something back there," gasps Kitten.

"What kind of something?" Drew asks.

I shrug, "It's big. And it was making weird noises. That's all I know."

Aushy

By now nearly everyone who had been playing the card game had gone to save Blue--all except for me, of course. "Stay here," Drew had instructed strongly, knowing I'd do more harm than good. I checked my cellphone nervously for a call from my friends, nearly pacing around the room. I tried to be my optimistic self, but the fear nearly drowned me.
Finally I gave up and called Cutter. "Cutter," I whispered quickly when he picked up, "is everything okay? Where are you guys?"

Drew

These people, my god, "What did it look like. Any description at all. Any fighting weaknesses?" I ask.

"It was big, so its probably strong." Cutter says.

"Thank you captin obvious." I say sarcastically.

"Your welcome." he replies bitterly.

"Look, where is it. I have a loaded pistol I haven't had a good chance to use in a long time. And besides, why would a bird not sing when he has every right to? And what dog won't chase the moon from the skies?"

"Enough with the riddles, Drew." Kitten says.

"Why the dead fish still barks, I will never know." I say.

"You don't make sense sometimes." Cutter says.

"Look a little deeper, Cutter. The dead fish is Kitten, refering to a lost cause, and the barking refers to speaking out of character."

"I am not a lost cause!" Kitten exclaims.

"I'm sorry, it's a habit. Maybe I should have compared you to a lemon tree instead." I say.

"Your hopless." She says.

BASTIAN

He glared at Drew. "Join us on the planet Drew. Blue is unconscious and something, unknown, is threatening us. Don't use those stupid riddles to try to explain anything when you and I both know no one understands a thing you're saying," he sighed.

Drew looked slightly hurt. "Well excuse me," she replied, folding her arms over her chest.

Bastian shrugged and looked at the others. "We obviously don't know what it is down there. No sense in trying to figure it out. It could be anything. So we either go down there unprepared or wait for it to attack another one of us. Personally, I'd rather not wait for the latter of the two."

"Attack one of us?" Kyrai asked.

"Well it attacked Blue, who's to say it won't do it again?" He asked. "I say we take a look."

Blue

When I woke up,everything was blurry. The light from a lamp left me seeing spots, and cars horns honking in the distance made my head pound. I was hungover. I attempted to get to my feet, but a head rush and pain in my legs stopped me. I looked down, to see that one was spotted with blood. I touched it, and it throbbed. Wincing, I rubbed my eyes, and put a hand over them to shade them from the light. Where was everyone else? They must... I realized I had no idea where they were. Or, for that matter, how I had gotten here.I realized that all the valuables were gone. They must have taken them and went... where? To... a rush of memories hit me. They were probably in the warehouse. My head pounded, and I whimpered lightly. A whole bottle... I should have known better. I needed a smoke. I looked around, but even those were gone. I laid on my back, looking up at the smoggy sky. My legs hurt, and every sound made me head pound. There was nothing to do but wait for them to come back.

Drew

"Oh, I have an idea. We all load pistols and teach this thing who's boss." i say with a biting edge to my voice.

"This may shock you, Drew, but all of us aren't future fBI agents." Cutter says.

"Not all of us can use-or own-a pistol." Bastian comments.

"Fine, do it your way. But I am dieing to put the groundhog in the canon. I mean, I am dieing to shoot something." I say. Cutter takes a step back. I roll my eyes.

"Not me, right?" Cutter says.

"No Cutter, not you."

"Good."

"So, whats the plan?" I ask.
