The Royal YWS Apartments-Everyone join!

Spoiler

I think I was either on the same landing or half a flight below you, Confusnow... I was being carried off, so I have no idea. XD But now I have no clue where I am in relation to you since you left...
Since I need help and Steven's looking for someone to help, hopefully it's okay if I have him find me. I can edit if you don't like it.

Ranger

My eyes fluttered open. Where am I? The world spun in and out of focus, but gradually, my head began to clear. I realized that I was alone. Closing my eyes, I tried to recall everything that had happened. The kidnapper had said something about figuring out what was going on... like we were. And then I'd offered to be allies, and she'd shot me. Then I'd passed out, and everything was hazy after that. She must've used a tranquilizer. I'd woken up once, then fallen asleep again. That was all I remembered.

Moaning groggily, I tried to sit up, but the tranquilizer seemed to have decided that it didn't want that yet. I collapsed back to the floor.

"Guys?" I called. "Where are you?" But no one responded. They were gone.

Suddenly, a new voice came. "Are you alright?" It was a guy with blue eyes, coming down the stairs towards me.

I scrabbled for my bow, grabbing it from the ground, but my arrows had scattered all over the place when I'd fallen - I couldn't reach any of them. "Who are you?" I demanded. "Don't come any closer!" I tried to rise again, but my muscles still weren't working right.

Steven

Spoiler

It is cool and thanks by the way

" Don't come any closer." she screamed.

" Ranger it is Steven. Everything is going to be ok. One of the kidnappers got to you, but she is gone now. I am not going to hurt you." I said. Ranger still was a little loony, but she was getting close to normal.

" Oh. Steven. I remember you." I took her hand and helped her up. " Where are my arrows?" She asked.

" We will find them soon. We have to get you down stairs. So I can help you. Okay?" I said. I gripped her hand a little tighter and smiled. " Oh my. You are bleeding really bad." She saw the blood and her eyes went wide. " Hurry we need to get you to your room."

i pull my red soft top porche into the lot , and get out my stuff , i walk in throught the sliding doors , and goto the reciption, i get my key , and start walking to my new house , i go up to te second level , i start unpacking , and i notice , something strange, my closet was talking.

"Great," Sarah said. "I hate to ask this, but do you know where we are or where we are going?" Sarah had not asked earlier because there was no need to have everyone worried, but now that Taylor was out of it, well...

Sarah started to sling Taylor over her shoulders so they could keep walking, and looked to Toby for his answer.

Ranger

Steven. I remembered him. "Where are my arrows?" I asked as he helped me up.

He said he didn't know, and offered to take me to my room. I realized he was right about my leg - there was a lot of blood. The dart must have hit something important, and falling down the stairs probably hadn't helped.

"Okay," I said, and tried to walk as much by myself as I could. I found an arrow on the stairs and picked it up. "There. Now I'm armed. What are we going to do, Steven? We need to get everyone out, but I'm afraid we'll be killed if we leave." But in that case, why didn't they kill us here, while we were on their turf? Did they want something of us? I let none of my thoughts reach my face, storing them away in the back of my head. I'd figure this out if it was the last thing I did.

I unlocked the door and entered my apartment carefully, ready to shoot in case there was a kidnapper. After a brief search I decided that there was no threat. I plopped myself onto a bed, realizing that I was bone tired, rolled up my pants leg to get a better look at the dart wound, and winced. It had probably hit a major vein, to be bleeding that much.

Lifting Taylor completely off the ground, Sarah noticed a white look in Toby's face. "Are you going to be okay?" she asked.

"Eventually," he mumbled, turning away.

Steven

We got down to Ranger's apartment and I ran to the bathroom to get a first aid kit. I knew it was in there cause there was on in every bath room. I got something to clean it and a large towel. I run over to Ranger. The cut looked worse than it did before. I grab the wet towel and get all the blood of her leg. After I clean i, I wrap it up. In this whole prosses, Ranger had fallen asleep. I cover her up and write her a not to tell her where I would be.

" Dear Ranger,

So sorry I had to leave, but I did not want to scare you when you wake up. I a sorry you got hert and sorry I could not do more to help you. If is is possible I would like to treat you to breakfest sometime. Just give swng by my room if you need me.
Hope you feel better,
Steven"

Taylor

My eyes burst open. I am slung over Sarah's back. How long have I been out? I think to myself. " Hey. Thanks for the ride I say." She places me down on the ground.

" Thank God you are OK." She say. When she puts me down the room spins a little. " We need to sit down a second." She says. We sit down in the hallways.

" How long have I been out?" I ask her.

" About 2 days." she says

" What?" I exclaim.

" You hit your head pretty hard." She says. " We got down to the frist floor an hour ago." she say. I see Toby.

" Well you look better." I say looking at him. His face is not pale anymore and he looks like he got some rest.

" Well everytime I get hurt, so do you. I am trying not to get hurt." He says laughing.

" Thanks." I say. I stand up and try to walk. I can. It is good to be on the first floor again. I see Steven coming down the hallway. " Well it is nice to see you again." I say.

" Haha it is good to see you to. What happened to you. Did you fall?''

" Yes down the stairs." I say

" Maybe you should get some sleep." He says.

" Maybe."

Sunny

I crawled on my hands and knees through the air duct. It was completely dark--not a single iota of light. Everything echoed in here, even my pants swishing along the sheet metal. There was a breeze, too, a hot breeze, from the boilers. I could hear myself breathing. If I didn't have such a good grip on my emotions, I would have freaked out from claustrophobia.

Then the breeze started to die down, and I heard a new echo--voices.

"What happened?" a guy's voice said. "Did you fall?"

"Yes, down the stairs," a girl, Taylor, I think, replied.

"Maybe you should get some sleep," the guy suggested.

"Maybe," Taylor agreed.

Sleep? We couldn't go to sleep! We could get picked off in our sleep one by one, with Ann and the kidnapper still running around!

There! There was the vent, just around a corner. I shuffled down the shaft, turning around so that my feet led the way. I braced my hands against the sides of the air duct, sucked in a deep breath, and kicked the vent off, letting out a karate yell. I tumbled out of the vent and into a group of four people--Sarah, Taylor, and two guys I didn't recognize.

"Hey," I said. "Did I miss anything?"

Ranger

I run, run out the door and down the dark hall. There are people there - my friends, trying to fight and run and plan all at the same time. There is the woman, half of her face dark and half blurry, but lighter. There are the other kidnappers, chasing me. I burst into the lobby, break out through the doors. There is freedom there. But just as I go, I hear screams behind me - shouts of anger and screams for help. I fall, and I can't rise. Everything is going dark...

The darkness faded some as my eyelids twitched. I slowly blinked my way awake, sunlight filtering in through the window. For a moment I was disoriented, until I realized that I had been dreaming. It took several minutes for me to finally sit up - I was still bone weary. As I rose, a note fluttered to the floor. I read it and smiled. How thoughtful of him. Sleeping alone is dangerous, but he meant well.

Standing up, I rubbed a hand over my face and tried to sort through my thoughts. I realized that the part of my dream with my friends had been right - I was trying to attack, defend and figure things out all at once. I knew from experience that that usually meant falling on my face, so I sat down, pulled a pad from my bag, and started to write and draw, trying to sort fragments of situations into a coherent picture.

Suddenly there was a shout and a crash. Leaping to my feet, I grabbed my bow and single arrow from their place against the wall and ran outside.

Taylor
Toby, Sarah and I were walking down the hallway when Sunny came out of no where. " Hey guys did I miss aything." She said like nothing was happened.

" Just a tad bit. Whats up with coming from the air vent?" I ask her

" Well I was..." she was about to say, bu Ranger came running out in the hallway when she was about to speak. With her bow loaded.

" Ranger. What happened to your leg?" I ask.

" I took a dart to the vein. Does it look that bad?" she asks.

" I mean you have a cast around your leg. Why were you in your room?''

" Well Steven took me there. He helped me and I fell asleep." she said.

" Steven. How could you leave her alone?" Sarah says.

" I am sorry. I thought I heard someone in the air vent and I wanted to make sure they were not going to hurt Ranger. Sorry."

Sunny

"Okay," I said, thoroughly confused. "Who is this Steven guy? And I assume you're Toby. And Ranger, who shot you? And I appeared from the air vent because someone locked me in the boiler room. Would someone care to explain what's going on? And what's this about 'Steven' going around with Ranger? Who are you, anyway, Steven?!"

"First," said Sarah, "shouldn't we see about replacing some of the blood Ranger lost? Has anyone seen somewhere to get water?"

Ranger

I was about to argue, but I realized that I was kind of dizzy. "That's probably a good idea," I said. I should have thought of that. And what Sunny and Sarah had said. What was going on with me? This was supposed to be my niche, but I couldn't think of anything myself anymore! "I got shot by a kidnapper, Sunny. But I should be fine with some water. And some food," I added as my stomach reminded me of that necessity.

As we set off, I turned to Steven. "Sunny's right, you know. Leaving me asleep alone wasn't really the thing to do... but I think you meant best." I paused. "But who are you? How do you know me? I thought I must have met you before, but now I realize don't actually know you."

Steven

" Well the only reason you do not know me to well is the fact that the only person that has really even said a word to me here is Taylor. I know you because you told us you name when you told us the plan to find Taylor. Oh and I am really sorry I left you. I heard Taylor in the hallway and went to make sure she was ok. I was going to come right back, but I left a note just if you did wake up. You were out here before I could bring you something to eat sorry." I could see Sunny and the others glaring at me.
