[i][color=lightpink]OOC: Hey! So sue me while you're at it Fire! You wont get anything but some CD's.

------------------------------------------

Kalipso sighs and tightens the chain arund one of the girl's necks, keeping her hold on it tightly and hears CR waking up, looking over in his direction, still doing what she was, sufficating a panther chick. "Oh...you want one...well there are plenty left to play with...its so much fun..." she says playfully, sufficating the person she was holding to death, watching the body fall limp and the heart beating stopping.[/color][/i]

Elektra was surprised how quickly they disposed of the group. Although many of them were pretty weak she stiil thought they would put up more of a fight.
And actually with two of them now left CR came sturrling outside. Complaining of not being able to get his shot in. Lukcily Kalipso saved him one of her left-overs and she quickly obliged him the chance to kick some butt.

Although still wounded her did pretty damn good for his ability and didn't take too much time in letting his pray suffer. With CR. finishing the one off, Michelle, Lorn and Elektra surrounded the leader of the group, who know sat wounded not too far from them.

"So what was that you were saying again?" Michelle asked squatting down to meet him face to face.

He didn't answer but lloked more so scared then anything. Elektra laughed as Kalipso and CR now approached him as well.

"Is this the one who hurt you?" Kalipso asked CR.

The leader continued to look around hoping for a way out. But in his conditon if they stood there a bit longer he wouldn't be able to escape. His death was imminent if he didn't get help soon. CR stood over him. Looking the poor figure over and over. He soon shook his head and wlked back towards the house to rest. Nothing came from his mouth until he reaced the door, and yet the words were inaudible.

He stepped in side, leaving the other four out there to look over the dying man.

OCC: gee Roxanne, I didn't mean any offense by it... it actualy makes me feel all warm and mushy inside... holy ****... I feel mushy.

IC: CR didn't have to look at the gang leader to know he was one of the four that had beaten him... his thoughts had instantly given it away.

He walked inside and sat down on the old creeking couch. Why did he feel so desolate right now? He had gotten his revenge after all. After hearing several cries of mercy, CR sensed Ryin coming in also. She walked into the room and sat down beside him.

"Look, CR, I'm sorry I sent..."

"You're sorry? Ryin, you should never be sorry for one of us. Especialy me. I've been in this gang for years, and since I joined up, there's never been any need to be sorry for anyone. Let's keep it that way." CR wasn't quite sure why he was saying this. It seemed like the right thing to say.

Ryin opened her mouth to say more, then changed her mind, thought about it and said, "Alright. Let's."

[No]

[font=times][size=4][color=lightpink][i]OOC: Oh oki! YAY! I make you feel all mushy!! I'm so special?!

--------------------------------------------

IC: Kalipso looked down at the Panther's gang leader, watching the man taking his last breath then falling completely limp, no more breathing that would cuase his chest to rise and fall. It really made her sad to watch someone die, just by the use of your hands. She stood up, holding the hilt of the chain whip, the chain draggin behind her as she walked inside crying a bit, hoping no one could feel the pain in her body. As she passed CR and Ryin, letting them see her tears and red cheeks, looking back down to the ground, speaking softly, "Do we even need a reason to be sorry....?"[/color][/i][/font][/size]

[COLOR=purple][SIZE=1][FONT=century gothic]

Elektra wasn't as sorry for the leader as the others had seemed to be. All she knew was that he wronged her friends and now he had payed for it. she looked over his body turn from a rosy color to going all pale and bluish tint. As she saw the way the body shut down she became more scared of death than ever. She knew death before but had never seen it so up close.

She soon stepped away from him. Leaving him to rott there for the night.

"We bury them tomorrow," she said to both Lorn and Michelle who also reminded behind her.

She walked into the house seeing CR on the couch, she walked next to him and saw him still in his weakened state.

"Let's get you cared for, you need some rest sweety."

She stood him up and led him to one of the back rooms she helped him udress to his boxer. Looked after his wounds and got him set up in bed.

She left him behind in the room remembring Lorn also got shot.
she went to him to see how he was doing. Lorn sat in the front room. The wound he had sustained was still slightly bleeding.

"Need help getting that bullet out?"[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

Tag KOTR...you're it!!!

[Muad'Dib]

OCC: o_O is it just me or did some one just undress me?

IC: After a few moments, CR fell easily into a dreamless sleep. He woke up several times to hear only light talking outside and footsteps here and there.

He had just fallen asleep again, when his mind was penatrated by something very unusual. An oppressive blackness, all around him. It wasn't like normal sleeping blackness. He was actualy[I] aware[/I] of himself. He woke up yet again and walked to the door. Almost everyone was asleep. Except Lorn.

"Did you..?"

"Hmm?" Lorn looked up with a start.

"Did you just put images in my head?" CR rubbed the back of his head.

"Huh... I might have. I was dozing off." There was several moments of silence, then both Lorn and CR cringed and rubbed their heads. They had tried to read each other's minds at the same time.

"We gotta stop doing that." CR began to walk back into the room he was sleeping in. "And no more images please."

As he lay there, CR began thinking about what he had said earlier.. about being sorry. Had that really been true for him? No... there was one time he had felt sorry for another person. When he had only been in the gang for two years, he had attemped to read Michelle's mind. The attempt triggered some kind of recall, and he had ended up learning almost everything about her. He had learned that she had experienced things no one should ever have to.

Then he thought about Kalipso... how she had felt when she passed him and Ryin earlier... he had not heard what she said, but had felt her sorrow. OK, so that's two times he had felt sorry.

OCC: woo... that was a long one for me.

[No]

[font=times][size=4][color=lightpink][i]Kalipso laid on her bed, curled up in a ball crying softly, not caring who is ging to go through he mind tonight, wishing that someone would look and see why she was crying about this whole seeing someone dying up close. Her past reflected into that, she saw her parents die like that. She never wanted to see the persons face when they died a slow, quiet death. She tried to show it to CR or Lorn or anyone that was nearest to her. Just so happens to be CR and Lorn.

~*~*~

Kalipso watched her mother, she was dying slowly, holding her close to her body. "Mommy ....dont go..." she sid softly crying really hard, only being 4.

"Hunny...mommy is sorry that she has to leave you..." Her mother stroked her hair one last time and let out her last breath, dying.

"Mommy...Mommy...wake up..." Kalipso didn't see her mother moving or breathing, causing her to cry more.

*~*~*

"Help...." she said softly before passing out.[/color][/i][/size][/font]

He rubbed his splinted arm. No one would pay for the surgery or doctoral visits, but Elektra was talented enough in the medical field. He itched his bullet wound. Amazingly, it was already beginning to heal. The bullet had been removed by Elektra by means he didn't really care for. She gave him a few painkillers, waited thirty minutes, then jammed a tweezers into the wound and dug around. Luckily, he fainted. Unluckily, he woke back up right before CR had come down, claiming Lorn had sent images. Perhaps, but he didn't think it was likely.

[i]"Mommy ....dont go..."[/i]

Lorn wheeled around, banging his arm on a doorframe. He cursed himself and looked around for the bearer of the voice. It had to be a young girl from the sound. And full of sadness...

[i]"Hunny...mommy is sorry that she has to leave you..."[/i]

This time an older voice. Also with great sadness, but also pain... They weren't voices...

[b]Lorn-[/b] "They're memories..." A wave of sadness and fear swept over him. Why hadn't he senced it before? He was a goddamned empath! The sudden flow of feeling made him waver on his feet, almost falling twice. His skin had gone quite a bit paler than usual.

Outside the sun just peeked over the horizon.

[b]Lorn-[/b] "Ka... Kalipso?" He said breathlessly.

[i] "Mommy...Mommy...wake up..."[/i]

[b]orn-[/b] "Kalipso!" He ran across the house, wincing from the pain in his arm, and into Kalipso's room.

[b]Kalipso-[/b] "Help..." He bounded acros her room, and checked her pulse. Elevated... Her breathing was heightened too, but she seemed physically ok. Mentally... Lorn sat down and placed one hand on her forehead. Direct links were a dangerous thing. Usually people used dreams as a medium of some kind. But with direct links, it's almost as if two minds become one for a few moments. Lorn inhaled and exhaled sharply. His concentration deepened. A small white glow of light began issuing from the middle of his forehead. His face contorted, slipping past the barriers of Kalipso's mind. So much fear and pain... It coated her mind like rust on a machine, weakening it. Finally he was through.

[b]Lorn-[/b] "Kalipso?" He was floating through a mass of indistinct images. "Kalipso?" Far in the distance was a figure. It was her. She began to grow closer. "Well," he said to himself, "at least she's safe..."

[No]

[font=times][size=4][color=lightpink][i]Kalipso winced a bit, feeling him enter her mind. He sees different images of her past, taht didn't seem like the type to want to share with anyone, or even to be remembered. Kalipso moved closer towards Lorn seing him there, she started to cry again, and backing away from him, not wanting him to see her cry. She never cried infront of anyone in the gang. "Why...how...are you here...?"

"Becuase I am worried...i seen your memories. And I'm sorry about them..." Lorn replied back to her, moving closer to her.

Kalipso started to shake, looking up at Lorn, wiping her eyes. "Don't be sorry...." she said softly, hoping that he doesn't feel or see that she does like him, wanting to keep that from everyone as long as possible.[/i][/color][/size][/font]

[Corey]

[b]Lorn-[/b] "Come one." He held out his hand to Kalipso. Wiping the tears out of her eyes she took his hand and pulled herself up. She wavered for a moment, looking like she was going to fall back. Lorn wrapped an arm around her midrift and steadied her. "Let's get out of here." Kalipso looked up at him and smiled slightly.

[b]Kalipso-[/b] "Yeah." Lorn released his link and drifted back into his body. He opened his eyes. They stung and burned. He wiped the sweat from them and stood, seeing Kalipso watching him from her bed.

[b]Lorn-[/b] "Do you feel better at all?" She nodded.

[b]Kalipso-[/b] "Yeah, a little. Thankyou..." Lorn smiled a little and walked over to the bathroom. He removed his shirt and wiped the sweat from his body with a towel. Linking always made him sweat. It was almost as excerting as the fight they had been in. He bumped his arm and bit back a scream. no one needed to be woken up after what they had all went through.

He had felt something strange when he was in Kalipso's mind. Something she was trying desperately to cover up. He dried his hair and threw the towel into hamper. He went into his room and put on a pair of sweatpants, a new tshirt and his running shoes. He needed to run, it would calm him.

[Guest Skyechild91]

Ryin met Lorn on the way out. She caught his undamaged arm, and didnt let him move. " Sorry, Lorn. Your not going anywhere with that." She nodded at his wound. She led him reluctantley to where Elektra was, and the three sat down. Ryin placed one hadn over the bullet wound. Lorn gasped, and shuddered as the ice from Ryin's hand touched his skin. It numbed it all the way through, and Elektra carefully took tweasers and got out the bullet. Ryin grabbed the linen, and wrapped Lorns arm while it was still numb. "That way it will heal better. Shoo." SHe shooed Lorn out the door, and closed it behind him. [I] Run. Just get it out of your system. [/I] She sent to him. She met Elektra on the way back in. "Thank you, Elektra."

[No]

[i][color=lightpink][size=4][font=times]Kalipso sighed deeply, and stood up, walking downstairs into the kitchen, finding something to drink, eating was less of her problems at the moment, she knew he felt what she was hiding, she still hoped that he would feel the same but that was less the chance that he would like her back. Her stomach growled, grabbing a mango, sitting down at the table, peeling the orange layers off and eats the slices, slowly.[/color][/i][/size][/font]

[Hinata]

OOC: Yes FirePhoenix... I helped you undress and I didnt think anything sexual as I typed that I mind you....

[COLOR=purple][SIZE=1][FONT=century gothic]

Elektra nodded bac at Ryin and went right back to her computer desk. Although not quite sure what was going through her head, she hoped netting would prove some what profitable to her. She sat at her desk, and became as comfortable as she could. The blood spilled around her mixed with the blood of her friends didn't truly sit well. But she neede to claer her mind.

She hoped for a vaction, /yeah as f one would come around' she though and soon turned her head bacl to the screen. As she continued to type she didn't hear or see anything for a while. No worries no complaints, her nads still moving. As she came to one of her popular sites Kalipso stepped into the room for a momant.

"Back on that thing again?" Kalipso said joking around a bit.

Elektra laughed as well and then like before turne her head back to the screen, waiting, hoping for a sign.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Corey]

The morning was dewy and rather cold. The moisture felt great in his lungs even if his arm throbbed with every step he took. Surprising was the fact that he could run after all he had done during the night. Fighting. Getting shot. Links. Worries...

He shook his head and turned his stride up another notch. Maybe he'd make his way over to the public track and get a couple dozen laps in. But on such a morning as this, the track would be packed. He shook his head again, this time in frustration, and turned into the park. He'd just run the trails for a while. The woods were great for stress relief.

[No]

[i][color=lightpink][font=times][size=4]Kalipso walked over to Elektra and sat down next to her looking at the screen being very confused, "So...what do you do on here? I mean what do you look up and stuff...and how do you understand it all?" She asked being full of questions, trying to get both of their minds off of what happened, and onto something new and different. She wasnt feeling tired at all.

---------------

OOC: I know its short but something.[/color][/i][/size][/font]

[Muad'Dib]

OCC: I know... I was just messin around.

IC: Kalipso's desperate thoughts didn't hit CR immediately. Layers of sleep and fatigue lay between her mental crying and his mind. Even when the thoughts did penatrate, only CR's subconcious picked it up... his subconcious was a bit of a jackass.

[I]Go away.[/I]

Kalipso's thoughts aparently meant nothing to a sleeping mind.

After several minutes of nagging, her thoughts finally made it to CR's concious mind. Almost instantly he popped awake again, and was about to run out of the room when he remembered he was in boxers. Getting dressed as fast as possible, he ran into the hallway and to where Kalipso normaly slept, tripping twice along the way. Before he reached his destination, he noticed Kalipso standing next to Elektra at the computer.

OCC: I should check the site more often... getting behind on posting.

[No]

[i][color=lightpink][font=times][size=4]OOC: Yes you should check more often!!

-------

IC:

Kalipso looked over at CR, seeing him comming into the room. She knew he heard her thoughts, looking at him still a bit upset, and hiding something deep down still, not wanting to tell anyone just yet. Looking a bit confused, knwoing she should tell someone and get it off of her chest. She walked over to CR and looked at him, "Can I speak with you in private?"[/color][/i][/size][/font]

[Muad'Dib]

OCC: this one will be very short because I think Roxanne should handle her own confession. ^^

IC: "Uh... sure." Cr was still a little confused about what was going on, but Kalipso seemed worried... and for a member of a gang, that was really saying something.

Kalipso lead the way out of the small house and into the overgrown back yard.

"CR... I think some one should know..."

OCC: your que Roxanne.

[Guest Skyechild91]

OOC: I couldnt help it...

IC: Michelle and Ryin stood in the doorway. They thought to each other, [I]

CR and Kalipso...

Sittin in a tree

Actually I was thinkin gutter, considering this city doesnt seem to have many trees.

::mental giggle:: Good point.[/I]

Ryin giggled out loud, getting the pairs attention. CR looked shocked. [I] Kalipso, I think I missed something. Ryin just-

Giggled. I know. Weird? I think so.[/I]

Michelle thought to Ryin,[I]

Lets finish.

CR and Kalipso sittin in the gutter

Hugging and kissin and eatin

Peanut butter![/I]

The two girls fell in to fits of laughter, and CR and Kalipso stared in disbelief.

OOC: Sorry! It was perfect! And they didnt hear what they said!

[No]

[i][color=lightpink][font=times][size=4]Kalipso sighted deeply looking at Ryin and Michelle a bit confused wondering what they were giggling about, probably making fun of her wanting to tell CR something very private. She took a deep breath and looked at CR seriously, "I think i should tell someone about this and it has to do with you and one other person.."

"And what is that...?" CR asked being very serious as well, finding it serious, seeing how serious she was. ((OOC: thats like a DR. Suess book right there!))

"Well Ihave this small problem. I like...Lorn alot, and cant come around to tell him so I am hiding it. But I like you as well..." Kalipso started to explain to CR, looking away from him her cheeks burning hot.

------------------

OOC: And you complete it Fire! And I am starting to sound like Dr Suess.[/color][/i][/font][/size]

[Hinata]

[COLOR=purple][SIZE=1][FONT=century gothic]

Elektra heard Kalipso's question...she though about how to explain it but no answer left her mouth. Soon it was too late to expalin for she and Cr left the room.

Elektra stayed seated in front of her computer she didn't wish to write anything different so she browsed a few sites lookig for people to chit chat with or hopeullf learn a few secrets. She did anyhting to keep her mind off those surrounding her.

As she went on searching, she was happy that she couldn't read minds, but her powers didn't make things easier for her. The many things she was in the future. was she supposed to say what she saw or keep it in her. And she didn't truly know if she could ever tell anyone their future.

He conscious began to tear at her as she sat there. Replaying the gus death in her mind. She actually saw it, she could have cnaged it, but she wasn't not sure it if would've made a difference. She turned off her comuter and sat on her bed.

She soon snuggled up with a pillow as the gang leaders death repeated itself, over and over. How was she to handle his. She didn't know, and could anyone help her. Remembering all the problems evryone else had she suddenly felt alone. Alone and for the first time afraid.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Muad'Dib]

OOC: sorry I didn't post sooner... school ya know.

IC: CR was completly stunned for a moment... had she just said what he thought she said?

"I... uhh..." CR had no idea what he should say.

"Look I..." Kalipso seemed just as confused as CR. "Oh, I just can't stand it CR... it's like... like..."

"Kalipso, you don't have to explain yourself... we all have something that bothers us... you just need to... let it be." CR's mind wandered a moment as he thought of the old Beatles song... [I] Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.[/I]

"I... see." Kalipso said with forced resignation. They both walked back into the house...

OOC: er.. couldn't think of much except the Beatles... they are the answer to all. lol, sorry if it wasn't what you were looking for.

[No]

[i][color=lightpink][size=4][font=times]Kalipso sighed deeply and nodded to him, speeking softly, "I see..." she walked back inside with him walking upstairs, thinking things over, nothing good came out of that, she was rejected she tought. Damn, she hated it too. She looked around her room trying to find something important and digs in one of her drawers, not finding what she was looking for almost having a heart attack yelling out, [b]"Where's my diary?!"[/b] she loked afraid running around the house looking for it, cursing repeaeidly.[/color][/i][/font][/size]

[Muad'Dib]

[I]Crap... crap, crap, crap.[/I] CR wandered inside and found a seat on the couch. [I]Why did I have to go and say that? For the first fu**in time in my life, some one cares for me, and I blow it...[/I] He felt like hitting himself on the head.

Eventualy, Ryin and Michelle also walked in and could hardly suppress their laghter. When she saw the look on CR's face, Ryin seemed to calm down and sat next to him.

"So it went that bad huh?" CR looked at her with a bit of confusion. "What?" Ryin continued, "You didn't kiss?" At this, Michelle almost fell over with held in laghter.

At that moment, Kalipso came rushing down the stairs cursing herself. "Have any of you seen my diary?"

[Corey]

[color=2244CC][size=1]Lorn had thouroughly enjoyed his run. He jogged out of the woods and bent over to catch his breath, the small cuts he had recieved on his way already scabbing over. He wiped the bits of dirt from his shirt and pants and began walking home at a rather fast, cooldown pace. The sweat ran down his face in small streamlets dispite the cool day. He was a sweaty guy by nature. After he had gotten shot he had soaked his clothing in a matter of minutes.

The ambulance ride had been the worst... The small, enclosing space... And the bumpyness... He had vomited twice, one with a goodly amount of blood mixed in. The doctors had kept him in the OR for nearly seven hours repairing the damage the bullet had done. A punctured lung. A shattered rib. A ruptured artery. Too much work. Too much damage.

To much money... That's one of the main reasons he had left. Not the only reason, but the main one. All of the surgeries had cost nearly twenty thousand. Not much considering what Elektra was pulling out of the banks daily, but a lot for a college freshman working two part time jobs just to afford tuition, books, and rent. He had skipped out via train one night, leaving behind everything. Friends. Family. But most importantly the bills that piled up.

He turned back into town, beginnign to pick up peoples emotions. A few panic stricken children being chased down the street by a convienence store owner. Apparently a twinkie was the cause. He turned the corner and came face to face with a middle-aged woman carrying an infant. The child gave off the stronget sence of love and trust Lorn had ever felt. He smiled.

[b]Lorn-[/b] "Your baby is beautiful." She smiled at him.

[b]Woman-[/b] "Thankyou." He began walking away and turned to give the child a wave. The infant waved back. His smile widened as their home came into view. Perhaps everything would be less hectic. He hoped, but didn't think so. A feeling of panic was eminating from the house. Panic, humor, and self loathing... He couldn't tell who owned each emotion yet, but soon...[/size][/color]
