To Save the World

Kyrai-
I was pretty sure everyone else was talking about something important, but I had already wandered into Kitten Land, home of me.
" So, what's the plan?" I blinked myself to life and looked at Drew as she scratched her head.
" I say we just leave it be," I murmered,"it was probably just a snake looking for a cool place to rest." A few people shook their heads in partial agreement.
" What if its something bigger, hmm Kitten," Bastian asked with a snarky tone. Before I could open my mouth, Monty replied.
" We can't go through life asking what if."
" So true," Cutter agreed.
" Great," I squealed," now I can focus on kicking-"
" Guys?" I looked down at Blue's slowly recovering body.
" Blue," I screamed," you're awake!" She flinched and then grimaced.
" Anyone got a cigarette," she moaned. I grumbled and went to fetch her one.

(Just a side note . . . do we all really have to be godmodding each other? It just . . . surprised me.)

(Yeah, I was wondering about that because Monty is acting well. . . out of character, if you will. And I'm not really sure what all the characters are like because to me they seem to be changing slightly each time some one posts.)

(Exactly. Can we all please just stick to our own characters? Please?)

>>>Yes. Let us stop the god-modding. Any further offenders will get a PM warning from me.<<<

Cutter,

I bend down by Blue's side.

"How are you?" I ask, concernedly. She just grumbles.

"Fine. Did you see what attacked you?"


>>>Sorry it's so short, but...<<<

(Well then. Just ignore my character's phone call, why don't you? ;P)

Ummm...weren't we all back together again? Or am I just confused?

(Hehehe, here, I'll repost.)

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. I waited as the phone rang over and over again, praying he'd pick up.
"Cutter?" I asked when he picked up. "Is everything okay? Where are you guys?"

Cutter,

My phone rang. I roll my eyes.

"Yes, Aushy?" I say tiredly.

"Cutter, is everything okay? Where are you guys?"

"We're fine. We found Blue. There's some sort of creature out here. Don't know what. Get yourself armed with something, okay?"

Aushy

I vaguely wondered if he remembered who he was talking to. "Cutter. This is Aushy speaking." In my mind I continued, Y'know, the girl who couldn't hurt a fly? The girl who always gets hurt? Remember me at all?

Cutter,

"Yeah. I'm aware of that. It's just...I'd rather have you armed on the off chance that you would actually do something then have you taken completely by surprise. You know?"

There are some vague noises from Aushy's end of the phone.

"Just...do it, 'kay?"

Aushy

"Yeah . . . okay." I paused and glanced behind as a I heard a hiss. Something disappeared in the shadows. My heart immediately jumped into my throat. "C-... Cutter?"

Whatever was in the shadows got into a stance, and then lunged at me. Screaming, I dropped the phone and shot out of the house, running down the alley as fast as I could. Suddenly, I was terrified of everything--the people in the houses, the thing chasing me, and even my own two feet. "CUTTER!" I screamed, as if he could hear me, as if he could save me. But it felt like nothing could anymore. Like I was all alone.

I rounded a corner and slid to a stop. My breaths came in sharp and fast, and I prayed whatever was chasing me would run the wrong way.

Blue

What had attacked me? I couldn't answer that question. Actually, I didn't remember much of anything past when I had grabbed that bottle. Something dark...then nothing. I tried standing, but my leg exploded in pain. I sighed, and helped myself to another cigarette. It occurred to me that I was killing myself. I decided, right then and there, to quit drinking, at least. Smoking... that was different. One step at a time. I blew a ring, and pondered, trying to remember that night.

Kyrai-

Blue's ring of smoke settled in my face and, a bit peeved, I waved it away. I was aching to rip it from her fingers and toss that smoldering piece of death into a corner, but decided against it. Even with her legs hurt I had no doubt Blue would find a way kick my ass if I did that. So instead I just sat back and let my eyes flutter shut.
" Aushy? Aushy!" Cutters voice inturrpted a particulary nice day dream I was having. I sat up straight and groped around for my bar.
" What's wrong," I studdered. He just stood up and started towards the main part of the building.
" Blue isn't our only problem right now."

(Remember not to godmod, sweetie. :})

Sitting at that corner, waiting for whatever it was to catch up with me, was completely terrifying. I knew that I couldn't hide there for long, that if I had any chance to live, I had to get up and keep running, but I couldn't. I seriously couldn't. My legs were shaking wildly, and I put my hand against the wall to steady myself and the fear that was consuming me. Tears fell out of my eyes quickly, and though I tried to shoo them away, they refused to disappear completely. I was too scared to move, to think, and suddenly, a line from a song that I had used to hear frequently crossed my mind.
Who would you call with your last goodbye?
I didn't know. At that moment, sitting at the corner, I doubted I ever would.
