«We Could Be Legends»

[Thing2]

(I won't be able to be on tonight... Don't leave me too far behind! )

"It could fit me and one other person." Brisa replied. "I can also try to float someone along with us, my powers are all rested up from yesterday." So the wet-bird-feeding guy's name is Peter. She thought absentmindedly.

"So there are six people, right? I can carry three, your hover board can hold two, what will we do with the last one? I could try to carry four, but I might not be able to. At the very least it would make me really slow. The biggest thing I've carried would be Grace, or Toby & Alpha at the same time. There's also the van. Sorry, I'm thinking out loud right now." Jessi said.

"Maybe the van would be our best bet right now. Do you know how many it holds?" Brisa asked.

(*sings* I'm thinking o-o-out loud, and maybe we found love right where we are... I'll stop now )

"No, I don't. I think it's aunt Tayn's car." Jessi said.
( )

"Yeah, we could get arrested for stealing her car." Jessi replied.
(It's fine, my posts have been really short too. Goodnight!)

Alice waited and listened to all of the different options, and then rolled her eyes in disgust at herself, how like mom. "Or, how about I take the the hoverboard, to go back home, leave a note saying I took the van for an emergency and come back and get you guys. I mean, we don't really live that far away. I just have to avoid my mom, who's probably passed out on the couch by now anyway."

Alice nodded it seemed like the only viable option at this point. Though if her mom caught her she'd be in a ton of trouble. She didn't do any of her essay last night. With everything that happened yesterday she couldn't manage to concentrate on school work.

"Here," she said giving the police business card with the address scribbled on it, and the folded paper with the key symbol to Camilla. "If I'm not back in 10 minutes you guys go without me. Oh, but that only works if you have the hover board." She looked at it and nodded to herself. "I'll just have to walk." She said with a sigh. "Give me 20. If I'm not back by then, Mom's killed me."

Alice turned and took off toward home. Running up the sidewalk alone. All alone. She shrugged away the nervous itch between her shoulders the feeling of being watched. She'd be fine. If the Pure wanted her they could have grabbed her last night anytime. They weren't going to try to grab her in broad daylight.

What were they going to do? Camilla was right giving them the key was probably a bad idea. What made her the idea person anyway? Giving the people who would be willing to kill someone, and attack, drug, and kidnap teenagers, exactly what they wanted seemed like it would be a terrible idea. What would the key unlock? But then again, what would the Pure do to them, if they got the key and didn't hand it over? She shook her head still jogging up the sidewalk the rain sprinkling her face. Maybe she should just tell her mom what was going on. Not that she'd listen. She would probably just insist she stay out of it It's too dangerous. Alice's pace slowed, she felt the worry welling up in her chest. It was dangerous. Her breaths came quick and shallow, combining running and worry was making her feel sick. White wisps of mist puffed from her mouth into the icy drizzle. Maybe they really should call the police. She kept a slow steady pace the rest of the way home. There was nothing her mom would be able to do to help.

When she finally made it back to her house, the van was parked out front as usual, her moms car likely parked in the garage.

Alice walked up the driveway, as casually as she could. Last thing she wanted was to have to explain why the neighbors called about her sneaking around early in the morning.

The front door whined on it's hinges as she pushed it open slowly. She grimaced and slowly peeked her head inside, then slipped in the rest of the way. Her heart was pounding in her chest and her ears strained to hear the slightest noise coming from further inside the house. Alice left the door open behind her, she didn't need it making anymore noise than necessary. The keys were right there hanging on a hook. But she should really leave a note especially with her phone being dead. She looked through the entryways inner door to the kitchen. Her phone still sat where she had left it the night before on the counter. Suddenly it clicked in her head. How could she have been so dense? She might not have a phone, but Camilla did and she could text their mom about using the van. Perfect! She thought, and carefully took the key off the hook. The door groaned again when it was shut the latch clicking in to place seemed 1000x louder than normal. She waited a few moments listening and still holding the door knob. Nothing. She was going to pull it off!

She grinned broadly, proud of her sneaking skills. Alice hopped into the drivers seat of the the van, scrunching her nose while trying to ignore the wet carpet and spilled coffee smell. This old thing was what her parents had picked up cheap, for her to learn to drive in, something they didn't really care if it got ruined. Of course to her it was the best thing ever even if it did smell, because it meant freedom once she finally got her full licence.

Alice started it and put in drive looking over her shoulder with her hand at the top of the wheel like she was supposed to. Released the brake and gently pressed down on the gas. The van surged forward.


Surprised she slammed on the brake, which lurched her forward. Alice giggled nervously.
"Good job genius!" she said aloud. "Driving the car through the living room window would wake mom, RIGHT UP."

Alice decided it would be best to put on her seat belt now, before she actually got going. Then carefully shifted the van in to reverse concentrating far more on that small task than should ever be needed. You're doing great just don't hit anything.

Alice slowly and cautiously backed out of the driveway, and turned toward River's.

Brisa waited for Alice to arrive with the car. "Are we going to go to the park first, then decide our next plan of action?" She asked the others. "How will we know where the others have gone?"

"I think we should go strait for the key. We need to get it before the Pure does. As for not knowing where everyone is, Toby is pretty good about telling me where he is." Jessi said. She looked around for Alice and the van.

Grace listened idly to the conversation. She studied the others. She didn't know any of them very well, even the ones in her grade. That meant that Peter didn't know them at all. "So. We're going in a stolen van to the lair of the keymakers?" She asked, trying to joke around. Unfortunately, her sense of humor was rather strange.

(She has Siri and she grew up in the area)

(I don't think Siri can tell you where secret bases are. XD)

"Well when you say it like that it sounds bad." Jessi said, smiling.

Lachlan groaned.
The darkness that enveloped him was welcoming, it seemed. Much better than in a dark van, watching his friend bleed to death.
Bleed to death... Had she really died? He wondered. The thought seemed to jolt him, Bleddyn could be dead, laying limp and lifeless feet away from him. How pathetic was he, hiding in the darkness when his friends needed him?
He blinked and started to come to, cold air biting at his skin. He was laying on something soft now, not the cold hard floor of the van.
His eyes snapped open. Diffidently not the van. He was laying on a cot, Wolfram sitting on another beside him. Lachlan jerked up, and glanced around at his surroundings. They were locked in a cell, Bleddyn and Sherri nowhere in sight. "How long have I been out?" He rasped, his throat unbelievably dry.
He slowly got to his feet, stumbling towards the bars of the cell opening. He stared at them for a few long moments. (@Cluckcluck1215 tagging you so you can find this later )

Wolfram slowly looked up, his eyes darker and more lifeless then normal."I lost track of time, hours or more though."His voice was dull, dry and sounded like it was a effort to speak."They have Bleddyn, Lachlan. I don't know if she's alive or not..."He choked out, his voice holding even more pain nd grief then before.

I don't know if she's alive or not..."He choked out, his voice holding even more pain nd grief then before.

Lachlan looked down, swallowing hard. He turned, stumbling back over to Wolfram. "We'll find her." He paused. "Alive, Wolfram." He rasped quietly.

 

[Cluckcluck1215]

Lachlan looked down, swallowing hard. He turned, stumbling back over to Wolfram. "We'll find her." He paused. "Alive, Wolfram." He rasped quietly.

Wolfram looked away, his hand tightening into a fist. He looked back at Lachlan slowly."She's dead, Lachlan. She lost a ton of blood, there is no way she lived."

 

[RiverStorm]

Wolfram looked away, his hand tightening into a fist. He looked back at Lachlan slowly."She's dead, Lachlan. She lost a ton of blood, there is no way she lived."

Lachlan sat down beside Wolfram, becoming dizzy he put his head in his hands. "No, I won't accept that. She can't be. We've been friends since we were toddlers, she's been hurt before, she's not gone now." He rasped.

Lachlan sat down beside Wolfram, becoming dizzy he put his head in his hands. "No, I won't accept that. She can't be. We've been friends since we were toddlers, she's been hurt before, she's not gone now." He rasped.

"I...I don't know, Lachlan!"He hissed, frusterated."Mapleshade drove that knife deep, and Bleddyn wouldn't let me help her...I don't know."He murmured. He slowly put a hand on Lachlan's shoulder."You ok?"He asked quietly.

Lachlan nodded quickly. "Ye-yeah, I'm just... Dizzy." He shook his head to clear it, and sat up straight.

 

[Cluckcluck1215]

Lachlan nodded quickly. "Ye-yeah, I'm just... Dizzy." He shook his head to clear it, and sat up straight.

"Sorry, wish I could help."Wolfram murmured, looking out the cell bars longingly.
