hey, guys! sorry I haven't been on in a while. I've had a weird couple of weeks.)
 
Firebird strolled down a grassy park, a bag of pencils under her left arm. Her long red hair swished around her waist, as she bent over the sketchpad, scribbling furiously. She let her feet take her wherever they pleased, memory preventing her from crashing into trees. She added a couple more pencil lines, whistling to herself. She meandered like this, drawing, for quite a while, then stopped suddenly. Somehow, without noticing it, She had walked into a dark ally without noticing. She backed up a couple steps cautiously. "Where am I?" She wondered. Then, the cobblestones beneath her feet imploded.
  She got up on her knees, coughing. Dust obscured her veiw, but from what she could see, things were not good. She was in a very dark underground room. Water pipes crisscrossed across the ceiling, and cobwebs dangled from the walls. Above her, she could see the hole she had fallen in from about 8 feet up. She froze as she heard a footstep. and another. A rustle of cloth. A breath of air. Then, a pair of glowing red eyes. and another. and another. She had fallen into a nest of Vampires. 26 vampires surrounded her. Then one stepped forward, an evil smile playing about her lips. Firebird's eyes narrowed. "Elsewhere." She said, then cursed under her breath. Elsewhere tilted her head, and a slight smile played about her lips. "Firebird." She replied, her voice rippling as if from the bottom of a pond. Firebird and Elsewhere stared eye-to-eye for a moment. Nobody moved. Then, with a snarl, Elsewhere lunged toward Firebird. Firebird backpedaled. Thinking quickly, she unzipped the bag of pencils under her arm. She pulled out a fistful of very sharp pencils. Two male vampires leapt at her with inhuman grace. With a cry, she rammed a pencil into the chest of the first. He fell to the floor and evaporated into ashes as the 'sharp wooden stake' peirced his heart. Moving quickly, She leapt over the other male, and penciled 3 more vampires. A tall hooded vampire came toward her from behind. It grabbed her around the waist tightly. She squeaked, then ripped out one of her cross-shaped earrings and shoved it as far up his nose as she could. He evaporated.
