Secrets Left Unknown (closed/started)

Ryan

Why exactly haven't I told them about the door? Ryan flapped his wings and soared right back to the carvings in the mountain side. He latched on and turned human, looking around for a way to open it up. His fingernails dug into one of the lines and it seemed to hiss.
Ryan glanced down to see his friends weren't watching him too closely and he looked back up before something slammed into his forehead and sent him falling backwards. Everything went black before he could transform, something bigger than a headache at play as his body free fell.

*I know it's short, but it advances the story a tad and I posted beforehand.*

***sylverdawn - you asked to get a chance to use Renn's healing powers. Here you go. Just...um...catch him, I guess, before he goes splat so he can live to tell everyone about the door. ***

Renn:

Renn was crouched with the others around their small pile of cameras. It was like a freaking scavenger hunt, for crying out loud. Then a loud crack filled the air and Renn spun around to see Ryan plunging out of the sky. In human form. He heard the others cry out in shock and then Ben blew past all of them. Scattering the group like bowling pins in the wake of his acceleration.

He caght Ryan easily and the others ran over to where they landed. Renn winced at the sight. Ryan's forehead had pretty much caved in. Something had hit him hard. Distantly he heard some of the girls start to cry, they thought it was a fatal wound. And they were probably right.

Renn didn't think he just reacted. He crouched down over Ryan's broken form as his angelic nature, which normally slept inside him, rose to the surface. His normally black wings flared with golden radiance. Like the thing light tried and tried and failed to be. A piercing, otherworldly beauty.

But Renn wasn't paying attention. The light flowed into his hands and he placed them over Ryan's wound. Operating more on instinct then anything. The light spilled from Renn and enveloped Ryan before fading into distant sparkles that lit the air.

He fell back on his rump and took a deep breath as Ryan's eyes opened with a slightly dazed look. Renn grinned tiredly and then jumped suddenly. "What just happened?"

Ryan

"What just happened?" Renn had asked him.
Ryan blinked a few times, trying to gather his scattered thoughts. The last thing he could remember was a heck of a headache.
"T-there w-was a door." He said. "I found a door."
"In the side of a mountain?" Renn asked.
"I tried to figure out how to open it and I guess it didn't want me to be successful in that." He replied. "Something hit me and that was it."
He noticed that some of the girls were crying a little bit away. Renn helped him sit up and the air chilled with silence as everyone stared at him. He glanced at his friend beside him questioningly.
"Why is everyone looking at me like that?" He asked.

Grey Loraine (Rain) Sanders
I can't do anything but watch as Ryan plummets off of the mountainside unconscious. By the time I regain my senses, Ben has already grabbed the limp boy. I shoot back to the ground again to stand next to "Electric Man" and Renn. When I see the condition of Ryan, I almost scream. His forehead was struck very hard because it looks dented. I turn my gaze away, crying. The tears flow down my rosy cheeks as my chest heaves. A shower of rain rushes down from the sky in turrets, as if mourning with me. Flicking my hand the water shuts off.
He can't be dead, I reasure myself. Wiping my eyes dry with the sleeve of my pink cardigan sweater, I look back to the three boys standing together.
That's when Renn turns into a holy, glowing bird. Seriously. His usually sleek black wings flood with a shining golden color, radiating power. A strange light surrounds Renn and Ryan then, just as quickly as it came, the bright light fades. Ryan's head heals miraculously and a smile of relief fills me. The blood splattered on the the boy's head quickly disappears.
My jaw literally drops in awe at Renn's power, but when Ryan tells everyone that he found a door in the mountain my jaw falls even lower. Gaining my composure I respond between sniffs, "If there really is a doorway up there, then we need to figure out a way to open it withought our skulls being bashed in." I cringe thinking about the cracking noise of Ryan's head... I shiver then continue. "We need a distraction-"
I'm cut short by Ben, A decoy?
"Exactly."

Nemesis

I was meditating at the bottom of the mountain when I heard a scream. I opened my eyes, but didn't stand up. I made the boulder beneath me fly to the source. The others were too busy to notice me, which was fine with me since I rarely meet up with them. I snuck up on Rain, then said lowly, "Boo."
She jolted and looked at me straight in the eye.
I smiled, showing my teeth shamelessly. I knew my fangs were showing, but I didn't care. Hardly anyone in the group notices a shameless vampire like myself these days, but then again I hardly show my face. After a while, I resumed a straight face. I murmured lowly, "Typical. No one wants to be seen with the likes of me. No wonder I'm a loner." I got off the boulder, then began to walk away when somebody stopped me.

Yin and Yang

"Fine, see yeah," Yang said heartlessly as Nemesis walked away.

"No, wait!" Yin called and ran after Nemesis. Beaming one of her friendliest smiles, she jumped in front of him, making him stop. "Where are you going?" Yin grabbed his hand and lead him back to the group, talking all the while. "You've know idea what you've missed! First, Renn found this camera, and we all suspect that someone's spying on us. So then we go looking for more. And then the door in the mountain punches Ryan in the face!" Yin pauses and frowns with the memory of seeing Ryan's limp body and dented face.

"A door in the mountain punches Ryan in the face?" Nemesis repeated, doubt thick in his voice. He raised an eyebrow at the rest of the group, who nodded in reassurance.

"Mhm, and he almost died! But Renn saved him... How did you do that anyways, Renn?" Yin looked questioningly at Renn, as did everyone else.

Glacies Ventus

I looked at Ryan's injured body he was seriously hurt but I could tell he still had life in him. Before my eyes I saw Renn's wings begin to glow and watched as he healed Ryan's injuries. "T-there w-was a door." He said. "I found a door."
"In the side of a mountain?" Renn asked.

"I tried to figure out how to open it and I guess it didn't want me to be successful in that." He replied. "Something hit me and that was it."

He noticed that some of the girls were crying a little bit away. Renn helped him sit up and the air chilled with silence as everyone stared at him. He glanced at his friend beside him questioningly.

"Why is everyone looking at me like that?" He asked.

I walked over to him patting him on the shoulder, "they thought you were dead buddy. Now tell me about this door."

Ryan looked at me a little shocked but spoke anyway. "It was set in the mountain but I didn't see a door handle so I went to try and open it. Next thing I know I'm getting hit in the face and knocked of the mountain."

I nodded at him understanding, "I'll talk to the mountain and see if he can tell me anything I'll check around the door as well. Benn and Renn would you guys please be watching my back while I do this." I looked over at Grey it bothered me to see her crying she was always so happy her crying looked wrong. "Grey make some clouds in case I fall would you I would love to have a nice cushion to fall on in case I lose my grip." Grey looked at me and nodded.

OOC post *slow down guys. It's, like, three characters running this story book right now. Eve, Raina, Kai, Adrian, Jewel, Kate, Rachel, THEY ALL NEED TO POST! Slow down, let everyone get a chance to be involved before you post two, three times a day. And when we do post, please don't a)ignore it b)turn everything back onto your character - I'm not accusing anyone of doing either, just pointing it out. Sorry, I just had to bring attention to it. Not trying to start anything. Just want this SB to be fair and not run by a handfull of characters. XD Besides, I don't even think some of the people have posted yet.*

*Amen, fictionfanatic! I know I can be guilty of posting twice a day too, but the people who haven't joined really need to do so. I also don't like it when you post and then people ignore it... Anyways, fictionfanatic is correct.*

---Shooting Stars

Renn:

The others are all discussing how to get the dragon slaying door open without getting offed themselves. Renn watched the proceedings with some degree of relief. Maybe his display had slipped everyone's notice in the excitement.

Then Yin opens her mouth and asked him. "How did you do that anyways, Renn?" Which, of course, immidiately turns the spotlight back on him. Renn flushed in embarrassment, healing was not something they thought he should be capable of.

Yang crossed his arms and followed his sister's lead. "Yeah, man. Fess up, what was that?" He demanded in his usuall abrasive tone.

Renn's shoulders slumped and he caved under the combined weight of his friends gazes. "When I told you guys my dad was a crow shifter... that was a lie. He's kind of... an archangel."

That admission got everyone's attention. Nemesis who just arrived had to state the obvious. "As in, an up there angel?" He asked pointing at the sky, and Renn nodded miserably.

"Any other bombs you want to drop on us?" Grey asked him sarcastically. "It would been nice to know we had a healer."

"I can't control that part of me yet." Renn told her with a glare, and then added the second part of his confession. "Dad also gave me a few half-siblings. That are kind of famous. They're kind of... the Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse. "That was awkward, can we get back to the door now?" He asked in an obvious attempt to change the subject.

(Hey guys- I'm really sorry but its going to be hard for me to post from now on- I was taking advantage of the little lapse in homework that comes from post-christmas school, but now it's starting to get ridiculous again, and I probably won't have time to post for a while. Could someone do me a favor and just 'wisp-out" Ben? He can return when I do "

Grey Sanders
"He's kind of an arch angel..." Renn hesitantly tells everyone.
I can't believe he's part angel! I mean with everything else weird going on, this is only something normal one would say. In Nowhere, anyone can waltz up to you and say that they're an angel and you won't think anything of it. However, I still am amazed. I guess I can start someone's heart again with bolts of electricity, but nothing like Renn can do with his healing powers.
"Any other bombs you want to drop on us?" I wonder aloud, smiling. I meant it as a joke, but when Renn gave me the vicious not-funny-at-all-you-better-be-quiet glare I decided to shut my mouth.
He quickly changes the subject back to the door.
"What about Grey's idea?" Yin asks, stepping in.
"What was her idea?" Nemesis says.
Renn ignores Nemesis and states, "How is sticking someone up there as bait going to work? We can't put someone else in trouble."
I counter, "After we study it from a short distance, I'll go to the door. Then when I get hit, someone can hurry and open it. Someone super fast."
"But Grey, you'll be hurt too!"
I reasure, "I can create an electric energy forcefield, along with a hardened cloud to protect myself. Guys, we need to find out what's on the other side of the doorway."
"I don't care if Grey goes to the door," Yang tells Renn. Yin sticks her elbow in his ribs.
"Please?" I beg. "Aren't you curious?"
"Is it foolproof though, that's what's important," Glacies says.
Renn chews the side of his mouth, undecided. Ryan slightly shakes his head at me, signaling that it's not a good idea.
"This door is most likely our way out. We've all tried flying over the mountains and failed. This as good a chance as any, and you have a volunteer," I pursuade Renn, my voice radiating confidence.

Nemesis

I rolled my eyes and murmured, "Sure sure. Always ignore me. Like I'm any different besides not being able to catch a few Z's and use my pyrokinesis. Nobody cares about what the vampire has to say." I turned around and went on my way. I wanted to speak my mind, but get ignored as always. Typical of the rest of the lot. It was as if they don't want to be around the likes of an insomniac vampire such as myself.
Someone tried to stop me again, but this time I ignored such person.
As I walked away from the others, I took a rock and made it have the likeliness of an owl. I studied my work with care. I often admired my untapped creativity, but was beside myself with the pleasure of it. Since my chances of having a friend were slim to none, I alone adored my work with my telekinetic power. I secretly wished someone would listen to what I had to say, see what I could create, and- if lucky enough- make friends with me as so to relieve me of my unbearable solitude.

...I'm confused, RedFang, do you want Nemesis to be a loner??

P.S. And btw, I thought I'd get it out there, if anyone was to get captured by the "bad guys" I TOTALLY volunteer Yin and Yang.

Dragon- He's already a loner, socially speaking. He just hates it when nobody hears him out. He's socially a loner, but his secret wish is to have friends and not be a loner for the rest of his life.
