... Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [color=darkslategray][b]In the year 410 AD....[/b] He sat on his bed looking out of the high window... pretending he felt a breeze whisp past his face. He shook because of how dark and cold the room was. He laid down softly on his rock hard bed, staring at the wall. Razel was only 6 years old. It was dinner time, and he was given the same food everyday... cold meat and a glass of mineral water. He sat there chewing the food softly and looked at his fork and spoon. The mind of a child, no matter where he is will wander... and imagine things to be what they aren't. He picked up the spoon and fork and played with them, pretending that they were real. He smiled as he made himself laugh at the things these silly plate settings were doing. "Razel...." a calm soothing, yet eerie voice called out to his mind. He froze on his bed as he listened to her voice. "Razel... what are you doing love?" "I... was just... pretending..." he said. "Pretending? Foolish little boy..." she said. Suddenly, Razel cried out in pain as he clutched his head and threw the plate off of his lap. "Temper? I think not..." she said as the pain in his body intensified. "I'm SORRY!!!" he screamed in the pain. He pleaded for the pain to stop, but she continued. "Pretending is a dangerous game, my dear Razel..." "I was just.... " "Lying? That's what pretending is, Razel... lying.... are the forks in this world real, Razel?" she asked sweetly as if singing him to sleep. "No.... no!!" he cried. "That's right my dear... so why do you make it as such? It's lying Razel... I don't want you to grow up and become a liar..." "I won't... I promise... no more pretending..." he said, tears in his eyes. "That's a good boy.... but what about your temper?" she asked, making him cry even more. "I PROMISE!!! Please.... please..." he said, whimpering as his whole body ached in pain. "Alright... I'll believe you love.... but no more lies... because then I won't believe you anymore..." she said as she stopped the pain in his mind. He laid there on the floor catching his breath. "Now pick up the mess you made and slide the plate under the door sweet heart." she said. He quickly picked up the place settings and put them on the plate, pushing it out of his room. He ran to his bed and laid down, closing his eyes to the world he was in. "That's a good boy, Razel.... you make me so proud when you're obedient..." she said as she soothed him with her voice. A small smile creased his face.... he listened to her sweet words as he went to sleep.[/color] [b][color=teal][center]..............************..............[/center][/color][/b] [center][b]In the Year 2504 AD[/b][/center] [b][center]...............[i]Awaken.... promised guardians[/i].............. ********_____________________________*********[/center][/b] [color=darkslategray]Ciress stood in the hall of Auran as she thought of how she would take action... she had been preparing for this moment for 3000 years.... and as each day passed, as each sun rose and fell... she had waited for the day the world would be hers.... the world was changing... the world, everyone knew.... would soon be no more. The nation would rise from the sand, covering all of Egypt... spreading it's darkness all over the country... and soon... Over The World. She had been studying the forgotten nations secrets... and she finally was ready to manipulate the powers embedded inside the deep and ancient city for her own purposes. She looked to the right of her and smiled at the chamber... the boy had been kept isolated... he was truly ready. These promised guardians wouldn't have the chance to foil her plans now.... She sat on a stone chair and lifted a small device from her pocket. "So Easy..." she said smiling as she switched it on. "Razel my love..." "Yes... Ciress..." he said as he woke up from his sleep. "You have another assignment.... a young woman by the name of Jessica.... you've seen her before.... you need to dispose of her.... for she is trying to hurt me..." "I will Ciress... I promise." "I trust in you love... just take care of her... and bring me back the pendant she wears." He waited for a while and remembered the assignment from before. "It will not be removed, Ciress... it has a power of it's own." "Kill her first, Razel... then bring the body to me, and I will take the pendant myself." "As you wish Ciress.." "Don't fail me Razel.... you know what happens to those who fail me." "I won't Ciress..." he said as he gathered his things, just in the way he did on all of his missions, and left without a word. Ciress ended the transmission and laughed out loud. "What a fool Thor was to think that he could stop me so easily... it would have been easier if he just let me take the kingdom then." she said as she laughed even louder in the shadows of her tomb.[/color] [b][color=teal][center]..............************..............[/center][/color][/b] [color=darkslategray]Jessica ran to her work. She was a waitress in the diner in the middle of Cairo. She hated her job, but it gave her time to do what she loved more than anything... looking over the ancient ruins that her father so proudly discovered. She barged through the doors and ran to her station. "Sorry I'm late..." she said, as she noticed her pendant hanging out of her clothes. She quickly hid her pendant under her blouse just as she caught sight of her boss as he stared her down. "Jessica, this is the third time this week, and the 14th time this month." he said looking at her. She shifted a little, all of a sudden becoming nervous. He shook his head in dismay. "What am I to do with you?? What have you got to say for yourself???" he said. "At least I'm consistent Mr. Jerig." she said with a sheepish smile. "Shut up and work. One more late day, and you're fired." he said as he walked away from her. She watched him walk off and put her hand on her gun. "If only I could have a moment alone with him....." she said. She let out a loud tiring sigh and put her apron on. In the corner of the diner, sat a man no older than her. He was reading the paper with a half a cup of coffee. She walked over to fill up the coffee cup, when all of a sudden he stood up and bumped into her. "I'm sorry miss." he said as he continued walking. "Sir... SIR??" she said motioning to his coffee, but he didn't turn around. He left the diner after paying and didn't even look back at Jessica. She put her hand on her apron and sighed. "Ungrateful bastard." she said under her breath... she took no notice of the tracking device he had slipped into her pocket.....[/color] OOC: Alright guys, refer to the pms I sent you and get posting! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Darkangel Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Razel watched his prey run down the streets, she rushed into a diner. He smiled as his eyes glistened in the sun and narrowed. He then walked into the diner not long after her and ordered a coffee, he then sat down in the far corner and began reading a paper Razel hid behind the paper...pretending to read it. He saw Jessica advance towards him...a menacing smile swept over his face and then disappeared as fast as it had come. He then stood up, left the paper on the table and walked towards her as if he didn't see her. He then hit into her 'Sorry miss,' he spoke, his hand glided over the opening of her pocket...a tracing device no bigger than a five cent piece dropped in....he kept walking without looking back..he could hear her calling out..but took no notice as his demonic smile appeared on his face again as he left the diner and disappeared down an allyway and waited in the shadows. [COLOR=DarkRed]'Razel....love....did you do it?'[/COLOR] came her sweet voice as it echoed in his head 'Yes. I have placed a tracking device on her....now I wait...' replied Razel his eyes full of pleassure and evil. [COLOR=DarkRed]'Good...I will be waiting..love...you know I don't like to be kept waiting,'[/COLOR] she whispered Razel smiled, 'You won't be waiting for long....I promise,' [COLOR=DarkRed]'Good my love...good,'[/COLOR] she whispered her voice fading but he knew...she wasn't gone.

... Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 OOC: Excellent! :) Ciress sat in her chair as she out the transmitter away. She pressed a small button on the chair and a viewscreen went up. She looked at the screen and watched as Razel set up for his kill that night. "My dear Razel... you've become such a useful toy of mine..." she said to herself. She let out a chuckle and smiled. "How the might have fallen. Your demise will be my most long waited dream." She flipped on another screen and looked out across Egypt, closing in on different locations. She stopped for a while and looked at several people. "The guardians... yes... there they are..." she laughed again to herself. "Once the girl is dead, they'll be like a night with no stars... all meaning and purpose, lost..." She flipped on the transmitter. "Razel my love... you must succeed.... there are four more targets, that I will need you to dispose of." [COLOR=Blue]"Yes, Ciress.... let me know these ones, and I will start right away."[/COLOR] "An eager attitude, is very commendable. But in order for everything to work out as planned, I need you to dispose of her as quickly as possible..." [COLOR=Blue]"I would never fail you, Ciress..."[/COLOR] "I know love... I know..." she said as she ended the transmission and watched him on her viewscreen. "Poor pitiful boy... your desperate need for love can be so ammusingly sad." she said as she laughed wickedly in the dark chanber. ******* [COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Jessica finished her shift and hung her apron up. "Jessica!!" She turned around angrily and exausted. "Yes Mr. Jerig?" "You didn't clear table number three!!!" "My shift is over, do it yourself." she said as she picked up her purse. "Jessica, I won't repeat myself!!" he said. She stopped and stared at the door in front of her. She was fuming. She turned around and stared at the short man. "I don't give a damn WHAT you do with table 13-" "3!" Kyle called out from the chef's room. "Three, thirteen, I still DON'T GIVE A DAMN KYLE!!!" she said annoyed. She looked back at her boss and he was looking sheepishly at the staring customers. She grabbed her apron and threw it at him. "Table 3 is waiting Mr. Jerig, I hope you remember procedures." she said as she went for the door. "This is your last chance Jessica, I'm warning you, there's no turning back from that point!" "I dont care, fire me. I'm done." she said. She left the diner and leaned against the wall. "Well that went well." she said to herself as she walked home. It was night, and no one was out on the streets. Egypt was no gorgeous place, but she had lived in Egypt all her life. Ever since her parents were killed, Jessica had taken what money they left her and used it to further her training. She was a skilled swordsman, along with an excellent shot. She knew that whoever killed her parents, wanted her in the first place. She looked at the pendant she wore. She knew it meant something... and she also knew the four holes in it needed to be filled in order to stop whatever evil was among them. She tucked it away and thought about her parents. She held the guilt of their deaths heavily on her conscience. She knew that it was because of her pendant she wore, that her parents had to die.... she shook her head. [i]No use in thinking about the past[/i]... she thought. She lived in a small apartment complex near the desert. The side of the desert was her father's excavation mark... where he had made his discovery. She kept his journals and logs, but the pages about the pendant and theories were gone. She got inside of her house and took a shower, and got ready for bed.... not even checking to see the doors were locked.........[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engel Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [color=darkred]Kevin was walking though the shopper-malnourished streets of Keryloleth, when someone tapped him on the sholder. Kevin's hands were on his guns before they finished the second tap. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing here?" Kevin asked, the cold touch moved up his neck. "Just one from your father's army." "No wonder your touch is so cold. He's dead like you should be." "Wrong choice of words, My Prince." His stalker-turned-assailant spun Kevin around, as Kevin held the triggers down on his guns, unleashing a hailstorm of bullets into his feet leading up to his chest. "Heheheh....remember....your father is always watching, Prince..." Danted held his silver gun, Freedom, to his assailant's head, and pulled the trigger. His assailant fell to the ground, a grin on his now dead face. Kevin searched his pockets. Pulling out his wallet, he smiled. "Thank you, I like to share too." However, He noticed something else in his khaki battledress, barely visible. Pulling it out, it was a message. "Come to Winnea, Prince. We have much to talk about. -The Wise Man" Kevin grunted, getting up. Keryloleth was on top of a mounain, and Winnea was right below. He grabbed his father's soldier, Jumped on his back, and flew down the mountain. ----- Kevin was met by a haggard looking old man. "Hello. I am the Wise man." he spoke simply. "Got a name?" "The Wise Man." Leading him into the tent, he began to tell him the whole chronicle. --- "You mean....the Obsidian I wear on my neck is some sort of artifact thingy?" "Guess you could call it that." "And I have to meet these other people?" "Yep. In Egypt. I'll provide the fares for you to get there." "Thank you, Wise Man." Kevin got up, shaking the Wise Man's hand. "Do not tarry....you must stay out of her grasp." --- Kevin was already halfway out the door when a smile spread on his face. Egypt was only a short ways ahead of him, his life many miles behind. --- Kevin left his transport and headed for the local hotel, checking into a room where the Wise Man designated. From there, he waited. OOC: If that's not good, PM me, ok?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]''....WAIT!'' Michael cried out as he awoke from a dream, or was it a nighmare. He sat up, pressing his fingertips into his temples...trying to rid himself of the dream. [I]Deep breathes Michael...calm down. [/I] immidiately he placed himself into a meditative state, soothing all the nerves and muscles in his body; his thoughts in complete control. [I]This is the fifth night in a row now...[/I] Ever since that old man gave him this new earing back in Thai Land...he's been having visions. The images are all jumbled...no clear meaning. Tombs, pyramids, faces...faces of people he never knew. But Michael was able to get over it easily as always, getting himself out of his bed in his fairly large apartment building in the city of Cairo. The University that had invited for him to study there was paying for everything. Michael was one of the brightest minds in the field of psychology and philosophy...a down to earth kind of guy whom the university had taken great interest in. A conference that Michael had taken great interest in, was an assembly of all the brightest minds of his field converging on the topic of ''how the human brain could possibly function with two minds.'' Its a known fact that the two hemisphere's of the brain contain their own conciousness...and together they fuse together into on cohesive vision. Michael was the one who challenged the fact that maybe there was a spiritual connection between the two. In order for there to be a bridge between the two halves, there must be a mediator. In other words, a soul, a spirit, or simply the ''Jimminy Cricket'' theory. One mind wants one thing, and one wants another...good vs. bad, evil vs. devine, the battle between right and wrong. Each side converges into a single entity which makes the individual who they are....thus...a spirit or soul. Making everyone unique...one side may be more dominant than another on multiple levels. ''Eh...I shouldn't worry about that right now.'' the theories behind all of it were so damn confusing, Michael's mind moved so fast sometimes that he can't keep up with himself. ''I might as well train before tomorrow's conference...'' Walking over to the kitchen...he got himself a glass of orange juice and drank it in one shot. Going to the cabnet, he pulled out his two scimitars. The living room area was quite large, making it easy for Michael to practice. The bright morning sun shined through the curtains, lighting up the entire apartment. Michael was becoming a master with the two blades, swinging and jabbing them in unison. His footwork was sublime, in complete sink with his movements. He would play alternative/rock and heavy metal songs to to get a rise out of himself...to intensify his concentration and drive to fight. It was like fighting himself...just like the two minds. All humans have a demon side, but always having the potential to have a pure heart. [I]Is it the darkness that tries to survive within the light; or is it the light that is threatened to be taken out by the surrounding darkness...[/I] He loved thinking to himself as he trained...there was something about the sweat and pain that made him feel more alive. The weakness of the body breaks down all walls...exposing the true self. After a good two hours of none stop training...Michael felt that he should go for a jog. Despite how hot it was outside in the Egyptian sun...he loved the feeling. The warmth was like a blanket during his days back at home in America. Think about it...he really missed his mother and brother. His father was still in Thai Land for his business career as a Financial Director. Even at the age of 20...with all the friends he had...he felt alone at times. [I]What was it David told me the other day.......I need a good woman in my life.[/I] Michael could only laugh to himself...he hadn't had a girlfriend since Senior Year. One that didn't end to well...he was quite handsome. Most of his college buddies here in Cairo kept trying to hook him up with someone. They were all sweet...but just weren't right for him. Putting on a pair of black running and shorts, he grabbed his keys, mp3 player, wallet, and a bottle of cold water from the fridge and locked the apartment door on his way out. The sun outside was intense... [I]I should have brought sunglasses...oh well...the sweat would get into them anyway...[/I] Playing the song ''Feuer Frei'' by Rammstein...Michael began his run down the streets of Cairo. Where he was going...he didn't know...nor cared. That was half the fun...getting lost. You never know whom you may bump into. Without a shirt on...you could clearly see the scars on his back however as sweat continued to creep down from his dirty blonde hair onto his muscularly toned body. Scars of his pasts...he sometimes thought about it when he ran. Thinking back to home...he may even let a tear or two come because of the thoughts...but he let it go. He let it all go...all those years ago. Sometimes he used to think that he ran because he was running away from his past. But to him...he ran because his feet told him that his life was far more worth than that place...and he needed to move on...forward...never backwards.

Heero Darkangel Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Razel watched the diner from the shadows of the ally way. Patience was a must if this was to work perfectly. Night had fallen, darkness consumed him within the ally. His body tingled with delight as he knew it wouldn't be too long. Ciress had put him through many tasks, trainning him hard. His hands were stained with so much blood from assassinations which he had achieved. [COLOR=DarkRed]"Razel my love... you must succeed.... there are four more targets, that I will need you to dispose of."[/COLOR] came her voice softly...caressing his mind. ''Yes Ciress.... let me know these ones, and I will start right away." replied Razel, his voice whispered upon the soft breeze [COLOR=DarkRed]"An eager attitude, is very commendable. But in order for everything to work out as planned, I need you to dispose of her as quickly as possible..."[/COLOR] "I would never fail you, Ciress..." [COLOR=DarkRed]"I know love... I know..."[/COLOR] she said as her voice faded out. Razel could feel his heart pounding within him...she did this to him....she made him desire her...but yet...he had never seen her face...nor had he even touched her...her voice was like that of an angel...a goddess.....and within her words he found a deep desire.....something....that made him want to hold her....to touch her....to want to her........ Suddenly from the diner words were spoken out loud, loud enough for even Razel to hear. He bestilled his heart once again and his eyes narrowed on the diner as Jessica stormed out the doors, he watched her lean against the wall and then carry on down the road. A smile of wicked thought drifted across his lips. He pulled a device from a bag he carried, a bag full of many ways to kill........ He scaled the walls by using two daggers he pulled from their sheaths and slammed them into the stone surface and used them to climb the wall, his muscles tensed with every movement. Jumping up onto the roof he ran silently, bounding from one roof to another...following the silent signal. Then it stopped. Across from where he stood, it was an apartment building. A light came on...he knew it was her. He jumped down from the of which he stood on and ran quickly across the street, looking to his right he could see an excavation sight where it looked as though someone had been doing alot of work...but he didn't care to much about it. He climbed up the wall once again, her apartment was on the third floor, he gripped the railing and swung over and landed on her belcony....standing in the shadows he watched her....she lay down on her bed...and drifted off to sleep...he smiled as he drew his sword from its sheath, waiting five more minutes he checked the door with hands that were covered with black leather gloves. He entered. The smell of rose's drifted sweetly passed his nose and a candle burned in the corner of the room. He slowly advanced towards her bed...she was none the wiser...he stood staring down at her for a moment....he then placed the blade across her neck....all he had to do was push it down...and the sword would cut right through like a hot knife going through butter....she stirred. 'Father.....' she whispered softly in her sleep, 'I love you.....' He frowned in wonderment.."what was a father???..." he thought to himself [COLOR=DarkRed]'WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!...KILL HER!!,'[/COLOR] came Ciress's voice as it pounded in his mind, he grunted as he dropped his sword on the floor and clutched his head. She awaoke in fright, Razel shook his head and looked at her....she screamed...he quickly grabbed his sword as she jumped from the bed 'WHO ARE YOU!!,' she screamed as he ran at her....she dodged and he hit into a set of draws, his head turned slowly and smiled demonically at her....he had to kill her..he couldn't let anyone hurt his love...his desire...his world...Ciress OOC: I think thats what you wanted to happen....

... Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 OOC: That post was awesome :laugh: Jessica quickly grabbed her gun from her dresser and rolled out of the way. She stood up and stared at her assailant. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME???" she screamed at him, pointing her gun at his head. He smiled at her, that sent shivers down her spine. She kept the gun to his head... but she had no desire to kill him, she wanted answers... it had been a long time since something like this had happened. He advanced toward her quickly, and knocked the gun out of her hand. In the same moment, he pushed his blade to her neck, trying to cut her throat. She backed away, but he pushed her against the wall. She tried pushing his wrist away from her, but he was a lot stronger than she was... [color=darkred]"Kill her love.... and everything will be perfect...."[/color] "I will... Ciress..." he said menacingly. Jessica stared at him in horror, wondering who the hell he was talking to... He pushed with more strength, but she kicked him where it counts, sending him backwards, but only for a few moments until he lunged at her again. But she was ready this time. She ducked just as the blade was about to slash her in the throat, and he hit the wall in back of her. She kicked him in the stomach, and he stared at her with hatred and anger in his eyes. "Damn it, what did I do to you???" she said loudly, and he just stared at her. His shoulders were hunched forward as he walked. She looked at him and something ran through her... she pitied him... it was as if this was a matter of life and death on [i]his[/i] end as well. "Who sent you?" she asked as he walked toward her ever so slowly. "She's waiting for you...." "Who is???" she demanded. "My one and only..." he said as he cocked his gun and pressed it against her forehead. She had let her guard down.... "Daddy....... I'm sorry...." she said with tears in her eyes... she had failed her father... she wanted to make his life long ambitions real... and now she would never have the chance. He looked at her as the tears fell from her eyes. It confused him... why was she crying??? She should be furious... right? [color=darkred]"KILL HER!! DO IT NOW!!!!!"[/color] Ciress said as she sent jolts of pain into him. He stared at her.... he was confused with the emotion... but he couldn't let her down....

Heero Darkangel Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Razel's head hurt with pain as Ciress's screams got louder. [COLOR=DarkRed]'HURRY UP!!! KILL HER!!!,'[/COLOR] Ciress roared, this sent Razels mind into confusion as Jessica began to prey to her father....He dropped the gun and stumbled backwards out onto the belcony, he needed air [COLOR=DarkRed]'KILL HER!!!,[/COLOR]' Ciress roared again as she sent a massive torrent of torture through his body, he screamed in pain. Jessica watched him as he stumbled on the belcony, within a moment she suddenly ran towards him and pushed him. Razel looked at Jessica as everything slowed down.....he looked at her as he fell over the belcony.....Jessica tried to grab him but missed and she ran to the side of the belcony...he didn't even scream as he fell, he just looked at her. Suddenly he crashed through the fiber glass entrance cover to the apartment building and landed hard on the ground. Jessica picked up the gun and ran down stairs. Her eyes filled with horror. In her mind she was hoping that he was dead...but in her heart...she was hoping that he was ok after watching what happened to him in her apartment. She ran outside and found him slowly getting up of the ground, he had deeps gashs on his body and blood seeped out from a deep cut on the side of his head. She then aimed the gun at him, her hands shaking. 'WHO ARE YOU!!...WHO SENT YOU!!,' she cried out But Razel paid no attention to her as he stood up drunkenly 'Ciress.......Ciress.....where are you?......Ciress,' whispered Razel...a pain swelled in his heart.... Jessica lowered the gun as she watched him desperately trying to talk to someone, his face looked confused 'Who....are you talking to?' questioned Jessica as she looked at him and then looked around, 'Look..you need help...let me help you,' Suddenly he turned to her, his eyes full of hatered and anger, 'YOU....you want to kill her!!....,' At that moment Razel jumped at her and she dodged 'It was you who came after me!...I don't want to kill anyone!!!,' screamed Jessica, 'Just let me help you...your bleeding!!,' Razel tried to go for her again, but then a massive serge of pain shot down his body from the gash on his head and he let out a shrill scream and then blacked out......

Akieen Cloud Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Ty ran down the street, she was sweating and smileing at the same time. "Damn, I knew I should have left eariler...oh well this is soooo worth it!" She turned a corner and stoped sitting down on her apartment step, she pulled out a large sub from the brown paper vag in her arms and opened her mouth to take a bite. She looked up and stoped as two kids looked at her...she sighed. "Here, you take it. I don't need it." Homeless or poor, they were all over Cario and there was nothing anyone could do about it. The kids smiled and plit the sub and ran off eatting it happily. Ty took out a snak bar and opened it taking a bite she sighed. "It was the right thing to do." She cloesed her eyes as a rare breeze swept across her face. She felt the necklace under her blck shirt and took it out looking at it, she looked up and blinked as an old man looked down at her. A thin walking stick in his left hand and covered in a cloak. "Uh...hi. Who-Who are you and where did you come from?" "My name, young soul, is irrelavant. That necklace you waer." "Yeah, I got it from an archeologist as a gift for my hard work...why?" "It holds a destiny for you. Stay her in Cario and find out for your self. It will prove a great journy. You will do great things." She looked both ways and than back. She blinked and stood as the old man was no longer there. "Creepy...crazy old bats in this city...I think the heat gets to them to much..." She sat back down as a young man came down her alley, no short, scars coverng his body. She blinked and smiled at him turning her head sideways. "I like being a girl..." She waved as he jogged past and shook her head smileing, looking down at her watch she cursed. "Damnit! I'm so late!" She grabed her book bag from her step and ran down the alley passing the young man on her way. She ran into the old museum there where she worked. Her amnager looked up. "About time Ty, your late!." "I know Marrius...I had to get a bite to eat." [I]And check out a jogger, but who needs to know that?[/I] Sge smiled ot her self and follwed him into the back. "They brought some more artifacts in today. You know your jod dear Ty. Do it." She saluted smartly and grabbed a pair of eyeglasses off the table and began to examin the artifacts on the table.

... Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ciress slammed her fist on the glass table in front of her "NO!!" she screamed as the sound echoed its way through the chamber. She stared at the viewscreen in front of her and frowned. She watched as he screamed... she was angry.... the transmitter itself was broken... he could no longer hear her thoughts. "Damn him and his clumsiness!!" she said as she pressed a small button and watched him writhe in pain. "That's what you get for breaking the link." she said smugly. She watched as the girl came over to him. "No....." she said angrily. "SHE'S STILL ALIVE???" hatred and anger boiled in her. She fumed as she stared at the girl, coming to his aide. "DAMN YOU RAZEL!!!" she screamed as she made the pain intensify. Suddenly, Razel collapsed, and all she could see was the girl in histerics. "Fool... he's not dead...." she said watching. She switched the screen off and stared at her bloody hand... she had broken the glass table, cutting herself. She stared at the blood and took in it's scent... she turned around and walked into another chamber. She flipped through her books, leaving blood stains over everything. "He has changed things... that fool... that idiot... he's crippled my plans.... bastard... I'll enjoy killing him when this is all over...." she found the book and set it on the table. "I will reach you my poor Razel... and you'll be in my power, once again..." she said softly as she used her socery to touch his mind... ***************** "Lay back down... you've been unconscious for two days..." she said softly. She stood up and stared at him as he looked for his weapon. "I took all your weapons." she said as she went over to the dresser. He stared at her, not knowing where he was or what he was doing there. "You can start by first saying thank you, you know... without me, you'd be dead right now." she said, as she brought the cool rag to his head. Suddenly, his hand reached for her neck and he held it tightly. "What did you do to her." he asked quickly, his hand gripping her harder. "I don't know what your talking about." she let out angrily. "DANG YOU TELL ME WHY YOU WANT TO HURT HER!!!!!!!!" he screamed. "I don't want to hurt anyone.... I saved you... even after you tried killing me." she said. He was confused... his mind.... she was gone. He looked away... trying so hard to feel her. She looked at him and felt like shooting him... she didn't know how much longer of this she could take. "Who... are you..." she asked again. He looked at her, not saying a word. "I can help you.... if you give me some answers... you said she was expecting me... who wants me dead?" "You were going to kill her." "Kill who?" "Ciress.... why are you pretending not to know what I'm talking about??" he asked angrily. "I'm not pretending... I [b]don't[/b] understand." she said staring at him. He stared at her in disbelief. "You talk lies..." he said. "I don't Lie." she said sternly. He looked at her and laid his head back. He was still trying to figrure out why he couldn't hear her anymore. "Do you mind..." she said as she placed her hand on his shoulder, pulling him forward. "What... what are you doing?" "You have a really nastly bump on your head... I've been trying to see if it would go down..." she said. She put the wet cloth on the area the blood had come from and felt something hard. She looked and saw a small electronic device. She pulled it off and looked at it. Razel glared at her and noticed something in her hand. He grabbed it from her and examined it. He saw it was a transmitter. "Where did you get this?" he asked demandingly. She blinked at him. "From your HEAD." she said flatly. He looked at her and felt the back of his head..... he knew she was telling the truth. "What is it?" she asked him. He stared at it and anger boiled through him.... she lied.... she was somewhere.... and she was watching him all these years... she wasn't.... his angel.... she was the one... torturing him. "But that can't be true..." he said staring at the wall. Jessica looked at him. "What's wrong?" "I don't want to talk about it." he said sternly looking at the transmitter. She nodded and sat at the edge of the bed. She watched him as he looked at the transmitter like it was his enemy. "What's your name?" she asked quietly. He looked up as if trying to remember... "It's... It's Razel..." "Razel? Well that's peculiar... were you born in Egypt or something?" she asked smiling. "Born?" he said. "Yeah.... how old are you anyway?" "Old? What are you talking about?" "I mean, what's your age? What year were you born? You got a birthday?" she said jokingly. But he looked at her completely lost. "Don't you know?" she asked, realizing he truly had no clue what she was talking about. He looked down and shook his head... the conversation was confusing him. She nodded. "Alright, enough of my questions then... do you have any you'd like to ask me?" He didn't respond... he didn't want to talk to her... he was too confused... about everything. "Why didn't you kill me?" he finally asked. She sat cross legged at the edge now and laughed. "Can't say it didn't cross my mind... but I wanted answers more than anything... I've only been attacked once before in my life... and I lost both my parents that night." she said. "Parents?" "Yeah... this guy... 4 years ago... he'd be probably in his mid 20's right now... came into my home and killed my parents... then he came after me. He was trying to steal this." she said pulling out the pendant she wore. She showed it to him, but he had no reaction toward it. "It's puzzled me ever since... and I thought maybe you came for the same thing..." she said. he didn't respond. Razel remembered the pendant... but he was puzzled... the man he killed that night was also going to kill Ciress.... but the girl made him out to be some great guy.... and a parent... what was that? "My father... died that night... along with his dreams." "There you go again.... what is a father?" "Are you serious?" she asked looking at him oddly. "Do I LOOK like I'm joking??" he said angrilyl "Parents are the ones responsible for bring you into this world.... surely you have had someone like that..." "No... only Ciress.... she's been with me for as long as I can remember." he said. "Ciress is the woman who wants me dead...." she said looking at him "Can I know why?" "She said you're threatiening her life... that you were going to kill her." he said looking down. Now everything made sense.... "Razel... let me help you answer these questions... I can... just let me try." she said smiling, waiting for his reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Darkangel Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Razel looked at her. His heart ached to hear Ciress's voice once again but his soul wanted to kill her......but....he didn't even know what she looked like. He looked at Jessica again. He then stood up, his head felt light and it pounded. 'Hey.....you need to rest..' called Jessica from behind him as he walked out onto the belcony. He looked down at the transmitter and then crushed it and threw it off the belcony So many things ran through his mind. He began wondering who he was?....where he came from?...did he have parents?.....Ciress....Jessicas father...who he killed.....everything began to get to him.......he felt deeply lost...and confussed he ran his fingers through his hair and lent on the belcony trying deperately to figure out....everything 'Hey.....let me help you?' came Jessica as she lent on the railing beside him He looked at her...and said nothing....he turned his attention to the desert........ 'Who....am I?' were the words which flowed from his mouth. 'Well, lets find out,' Jessica smiled as he looked at her He then gave her a slight nod but didn't smile or show no emotion in his face.

Kairi Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]''.......NO!'' Michael punched at nothing but air as he shot out of his bed yet again. ''Damn it...'' rubbing his head...''these visions are getting worse...that girl was in it again...out in the road while joggin.'' It was 6:38am, 2 hours till classes started ''Might at well get out of bed...'' putting on some black shorts and a white t-shirt, Michael finally made his way to the kitchen to fix breakfast...the nights visions still in his head. [I]All they are are incoherent thoughts and images...nothing more Michael, you don't understand them. But those eyes...those violet eyes. [/I] That look that she gave him on the street...she obviously took an interest in him. [I]Weird though to see her in my dreams...[/I] ''You gotta stop waking up like this...'' he repeated to himself outloud...making himself some toast and cheese eggs. He cheerish his a good hot meal...energized himself the day ahead. Today was gonna be an interesting one....after his presentation at the convention...everyone at college going to be buzzing about it. [I]I'm never gonna get any rest....or peace for that matter...[/I] as he let out a big and long yawn, tears coming to his eyes. ''Damn it...'' whipping his eyes...''I hate it when that happens.'' Everytime he teared up...even for the most meaningless or reasons...a shiver would always run down his spine. Memories of good and bad rushing through him like the speed of light. The feeling would be there...and in an instant...it would be gone. ''I need something new in my life...I feel bored.'' washing the dishes after he had finished his meal. Getting his books and backpack from underneathe his bed...Michael got his skateboard from leaning next to the door and headed out. ***At College*** ''Yo yo M...whats up? That convention man was sick...'' Michael's friend Lee giving him a high-5've as he approached the school. ''I saw how you tore apart that scientist...incredible.'' The usual gang was now together...all 7 of them...with Michael being the eigth, all in a big circle outside the college classrooms. The same kind of talk insued...as well as Michaels little stunt during the convention. ''Mike...you gonna come out with us tonight?'' ''We'll see Ajack.'' ''Don't be such a stiff Michael...'' Nick hitting him in the shoulder. ''I know what you guys are trying to do...please stop.'' ''Hell no, we are finding someone for you...whether you like it or not.'' The rest of the group had a girlfriend (in all the many definitions of the word)...Michael had told them about his last relationship with a girl named Alev. And ever since then they were determined to find someone for him. ''Dude...you have no reason to be single. You're popular, attractive if I do say so myself, and you're a great guy. Why are you being like this?'' questioned Lee, getting in Michaels face with curiosity... ''Maybe I'm just waiting for the right one aight.'' Michael pushing Lee backwards playfully. ''Fine...but you're still coming with us tonight ok...'' exclaimed Lee. At the moment...all the other guys' girlfriends came over and began to excort them to class. [I]Now thats definitly not something I like...[/I] Michael didn't like the whole college popularity of ''social class.'' He just wanted to be himself...to enjoy himself. But the way the order is in this place...kinda hard not too. ''Jane...'' ''Oh hi Michael...'' turning around from her locker. ''I found that paper you were looking for online...'' ''Thanks...'' ''No problem...see ya.'' as he walked off to his next class. ''Michael...may I have a word with you after class...'' his psychology teacher said as Michael walked into the room. ***After School*** ''Some people...I tell ya.'' Michael was a little disspointed all day after his talk with his teacher. Professor Nail had told him that as correct as Michael was at his convention in his theories...he should never have doubted the speakers thoughts as well. That he should be respectful to others...even if they seemed to be wrong. [I]Yea...so just keep speaking lies...thats great...[/I] oh how Michael hated liars and hypocrits. He was a councelor, a leader, teacher...someone who was always there for his friends with a compassionate, loving heart...and yet people like that are in positions like that...spreading lies which lead to so many issues. ''I might as well let it go...tis the past...'' taking out his skateboard...Michael began to head home.... *ring ring ring ring ring* ''Hello...'' as he answered his cell phone. ''Yo Mike...we're meeting at the bar tonight...prepare yourself for some fun man! Later'' *click [I]Oh boy...fun fun indeed. I might as well change...[/I] [/SIZE] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Ty growled as she punched the bag harder and harder. Her best friend had set her up with a blind date, her boyfriend too. "Ty, your getting sweaty, are you going to the babalon like that?" "If I wanna." "You mad at me?" "Am I ever?" "No." "Okay than. It's just you picked tonight of all nights to go to the babalon when you know I exorcise on nights." "I know, I just wanna get you out of there, your little cubby hol en that alley." "Hey, a couple of good looking guys go through there." "Really?" "Crystal...your engaged." "So?" "Nevermind." "YOu know I heard that the local collage has a new artifact site there, you might wanna stop by." "I might do that." Ty grabed the bag before it could hit Crysatl and took off her glves soaking her hari and face with her water bottle. "So what's this guys name?" "No clue. Ben said we'd meet him when we get there." Ty began to hum as Avril Leaven's 'Nobody's Fool' played in the gym. "I hope he at least doesn't jugde peopl efor what they look like. "What do you mean? Your pretty." Ty grabed crystal and began to dance with her playfully. "Ifyour trying to turn me into someone I'm not you;ll see I'm not down with that." Crystal laughed and sang with her. =============An hour later=========== Ty sat at the bar drinking a taquiella shot when Ben dropped into the chair beside her. "Where is he Ben. I'm not very pateint you know that." "I know Ty, just hang on,so he's running behinde, he'll be here." "Whatever." Ty squeezed away and into the crowd where she lost herself in the music there dancing to herself and feeling the bass pound through her, she felt a hand on her hip and turned to see her other best friend. "Alex, Why are you here?" "I always love to get the chance to see you dance." "Figers." Ben looked at Crystal. "Why does she hang out with him? He's way out of the group." "Maybe she doesn't jugde people dear. That's how she makes friends." "I make friends." Crystal laughed and shook her head. "I know." Ty looked around and stopped momentarily as the jogger came through the door and looked around. [I]Interesting...[/I] She swung her hips back and forth, Her tight jeans and tanktop moving with her. Her hair was loose and damp from her shower swinging with her head as she began to really et into the music. She was now just trying to loose her self in it, she loved dancing. This was a stress reliver for her. She now took full advantage of that as all the stress began to flow from her shoulders, the old man, the job, her life. Everything just melted away as she danced and she smiled as Alex began to move with her laughing as she lost him. "You still can't keep up little one." "I try." She ruffled his hair fondly and looked at Crystal, her and Alex were like her younger siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]''MICHAEL!'' yelled Lee from the back, waving his hand as Michael walked through the door to the bar. As he approached him....everyone surrounded him. ''Wanna beer?'' ''No thanks...you know I can't drink beer...give me whatever liquor you got waiter.'' ''You're gonna be pleased tonight man...we got you hooked for tonight.'' replied Nick while shaking Michael's shoulders. ''You didn't set me up with another blind date did you...who is she?'' taking a shot of a Hurricane. ''Not a clue man...thats the best part.'' Lee falling all over himself, he obviously was already drunk. ''A old friend of mine asked me to help out one of her friends...I don't see her at the moment. But trust me...she said that you should be excited.'' ''Lee...I should hit you for this.'' As Michael helped push him back into his stool next to the bar table. ''Come on man...don't worry about it...you'll be fine.'' ''So...when is she gonna get her?'' ''Crystal told me on my cell phone that she was already here...you came a little late dude.'' ''I know I know...so where is she?'' ''Not a clue...I'm sure you'll find her...or she'll find you.'' Michael turned around from the bar...he was wearing a black silk shirt with black pants. He hair was like it always was...a dirty blonde look, his earing shining in the light. Scanning the dance floor...he saw the the girl on the street again. The one from his visions...her blonde hair seemed to glitter in the lighting. [I]Wow....what a dancer...[/I] but then he noticed that she was dancing with another guy next to her... [I]Too bad...*sigh*...another loss[/I] All his friends' girlfriends came up to them agani...and began to grag them to the dance floor. ''Come on Michael...come out here with us.'' ''Na...I'll stay here at the bar...I'm not dancing solo.'' he said with a smile. ''Your loss man...later'' Looking out onto the dance floor again...he caught notice of a girl with purple hair, she looked like she was lost...or alone. She had this amulet rapped around her neck with a red jewel inside. *sigh* Michael turned back around and took another sip of his liquor, staring at the table....

... Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 [COLOR=Navy]"Damn him..." She said. She looked at the transmitter and it was completely useless.. she had lost him on the viewscreen... he had completely smashed the device. "Fine... I'll have to do this the hard way..." she said. She brought in the hired assassins... she had never thought she'd had to go to plan b... They all came in and she injected every single one of them with the same device. "You each have your chosen targets... you'll dispose of them, only after you make confirmation that they have their Jirax stone. After making confirmation, you'll kill them and bring their stones to me. Understand?" "Yes..." they said as they looked at her. She turned her back to them and sat on her chair... she crossed her legs and smiled at all of them as they stared at her... they knew they should fear her... they too had been brought up as assassins... stolen at birth... but not living as long as Razel... he truly was unique. "And if you should fail..." she said as she pressed the button on the transmitter, each one screamed in pain as she laughed at them... controlling the people of this age would be all too easy....[/COLOR] ******* [COLOR=DarkSlateGray]"We'll start from where this pendant came from... since this is what that woman wanted..." "Are you sure you didn't want to kill her?" he asked skeptically looking at her. Jessica sighed, leaning even further back on the balcony. "Razel, I have NO clue who this woman is... all I know... is that this pendant is very special... and these holes... are meant to have 4 small stones in them..." "Four?" he asked looking at her. "Yeah... why?" she said looking at him. "Nothing... it's just that she had another assignment for me... after I finished with you." "Didn't you ever ask her about these missions, Razel?" she asked. The sun was blazing down. "No... all I knew was that these people threatened her life... I can't let anything happen to her... not even now..." he said looking down. "Razel... she's been decieving you... ever since you were a child... she obviously took you from your real parents..." Jessica said trying to make him see how dangerous she is. "No... you're wrong. Ciress is perfect in everyway..." he said. He would give anything to hear her voice.... "Alright... if you say so... but tomorrow we'll hit my father's books... he was an expert at this sort of thing." she said with a smile as she headed back in. He looked around the balcony and put his hands in his pockets as he followed her back in. "What was he like?" "Who?" "You're father... what are fathers like?" he asked. She stared at him and realized how hard it was for him to comprehend such a thing. "My father was so loving... you see, my dad was an archeologist... he was the best there was. He could decipher drawings and hieroglyphics like we decipher letters and numbers on a piece of papers." He watched her as she talked about him... was he in her mind as well? "Where is he?" Razel asked. She picked up a journal and flipped through the pages, not looking at him. "My parents were killed... by someone who was after this." she said as she pointed at the pendant... Razel stared at the pendant. Suddenly flashes of his memory came back... he remembered it... it was the same pendant as before... but that job was last year... and she was a lot younger. "How long... have you had that pendant?" he asked. "Ever since I was 2... it just appeared on my neck. My father would tell me stories about the Auran... and an ancient city... he kept it in the journals. Apparently, it has something to do with that..." She looked at him and he shifted where he stood. "Razel?" He put his hand to his head... he couldn't understand what was going on.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkRed][i]"Razel.... come to me..."[/i][/COLOR] ******** [COLOR=Navy]Ciress was holding her staff with a large stone on it... It shown in the light and her hand was on top of it... her eyes closed... "Razel.... come to me love... and I will give you whatever you desire.... you and I... belong to one another... don't let her steal that bond we share..." She repeated these words to him, her voice only being an echo in his mind... but an echo she knew he would chase after.... she would have him back... and no one would destroy what she had planned for...[/COLOR] ********* OOC: Alright, here's the deal.... I really need you guys to start meeting each other and fast... I can't have this story in one place too long. If you're having problems with what to do, we'll discuss it in underground... from this point on, things are going to be pretty busy, so I'll alert you of what's to come. But I can't double post, so if someone wants to ask the question, we can go from there. Again, great posts guys! But you four need to start meeting one another in order for Heero's and my character to join up with yours... We'll discuss in Underground...

Heero Darkangel Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Razel could hear her... [COLOR=DarkRed]'My love....come to me....'[/COLOR] she whispered inside his head 'Razel is everything ok?' questioned Jessica as Razel looked at her. [COLOR=DarkRed]'Razel...don't let her come between us...come to me my love....come to me,'[/COLOR] her voice sounded stronger 'Ciress...' he whispered her name as he put a hand to his head, 'She's calling me......I have to go,' He said as he pushed passed Jessica and grabbed his things 'You can't listen to her!,' exclaimed Jessica as she tried to stop him [COLOR=DarkRed]'Don't listen to her...you and I have a special bond...please...come back to me,'[/COLOR] Ciress sang in his head Jessica tried to grab his hand but he pushed her onto the bed and ran out onto the belcony. Razel looked around and saw a man riding a white horse 'wait!,' called Jessica as he jumpped from the belcony, and used his daggers as he did before and climbed hastily to the bottom. Jessica ran out onto the belcony only to catch him knocking the man of the horse, taking his cape, jumped onto the horse which reared up and taking off across the desert. Jessica lent against the railing and watched as Razel rode off leaving a trail of dust behind him. 'Great!,' she growled as she hit the railing. [CENTER]******************************[/CENTER] Razel arrived outside a desert temple. He had never seen it before....he slowly walked up the stairs [COLOR=DarkRed]'Thats it my love...come on...i'm waiting,'[/COLOR] she spoke in his head He got to the top and found the entrance lit with fire torches. Without hesitation he walked inside and down a huge corridor. There were many doors, statues....pictures carvered into the stone, but all he was worried about was finding Ciress. He stopped outside two huge doors with carvings on it...something about the carvings stirred something inside of him...but because of his trainning he supressed it and walked through the doors. walking through the doors he found himself standing in a huge marble stone room, in the middle was a fire burning brightly. flaming torches mounted to the walls lit up the dark room. [COLOR=Red]'Ah...my love...'[/COLOR] came a voice he knew well but this time it wasn't in his head, it echoed in the room. He eyes darted around the room, he could hear his heart pounding within his chest. At that moment a figure walked out of a darkened corner, her hair was long and pure white and her eyes a deep blue, her figure was slender and she was extrememly beautiful 'Ciress....' he whispered as she walked towards him, his body tensed as she got close enough to touch. She raised her hand and ran her finger over his lips. Felling uncomfortable he stepped back [COLOR=DarkRed]'My love,' [/COLOR] she whispered sweetly, [COLOR=DarkRed]'I have missed you,'[/COLOR] Razel wanted answers from her......he wanted to know why she did what she did....but seeing her.....it toyed with his mind even more. He became confused even more.....and he hated it. OOC: I'll be gone for a few days but I will be back. I'll catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemption Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 [COLOR=Purple][FONT=Trebuchet MS][b]OOC: Sorry I'm sooooo late. I was having a hard time trying to keep up.[/b] Dancing was a favourite past-time of Phoena's. It gave her time away from her thoughts and worries. She just let the music take hold of her and let them all slip away. Phoena then noticed a man, alone, at a table, sipping at a glass full of mellow brown liquor. She made her way over to him. " Hi!" she said in a very friendly manner. He looked up at her strangely. " I saw you over here by yourself and I was wondering why you are by yourself?" " Blind date..." was the reply. Phoena didn't take to this lightly. " I was only trying to be nice!" she huffed, glaring at him, standing there with her hands on hips. She had travelled all the way from her home in Athens for this treatment. The guy stared at her. " Sorry...I didn't mean to be rude....I'm just not the most luckiest guy." Phoena sat down beside him. " I'm Phoena," she said, shaking his hand firmly, " And you are?" " Michael," he said as he shook back. " So Michael, what exactly are you doing here?" Phoena asked as she asked the bartender for a Rum&Cola. " I'm here with my friends, and waiting for a blind date. You're not her are you?" he suddenly asked. " No no no. I just arrived here in fact. Thought I'd look around the neighbourhood, although I'm not the night-clubbing type of gal," she said, sipping out of a small circular glass that the bartender gave her. Michael sighed with relief. " That's good. For a minute there, I though I was history." " Well, you would have been if I was the blind-date." They both laughed. Phoena swivelled around, looking at the crowd. " I wonder when this mystery girl will turn up? That's if your friends are playing a prank on you and it's a guy?!??!?" " That'd be my luck," Michael sighed. " Hey, don't get so down. I'm sure she'll turn up, eventually." Michael didn't seem to encouraged.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 She could sense his thoughts... she knew he was already doubting her... but turning him would be easy. "Ciress?" he said shakily. She knew he was infatuated with her... and she would use this to her advantage. "My dear Razel..." she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and wept on his shoulder. She could feel his body trembling. "I've waited for you.... for so long." she said as she pressed her body against his. He backed away, relunctantly as he stared at her. "You lied..." "Lie? Lies.... are evil...." she said as she creased her face. "You lied... you said you were in danger... she never meant to kill you..." "Razel.... don't tell me you've betrayed me...." she said softly, and sweetly... the confusion made his head spin. "I... I don't understand... she doesn't want to hurt you Ciress... why was I sent to kill her? What is that pendant she wears? Why.... am I to kill the four that carry the stones?" he said angrily. Ciress stared at him. "Don't question me.... you are forgetting who you're talking to..." "Who am I talking to??" he asked. He was shocked at her reaction. She walked up to him and put her hand in his hair. "I am your goddess.... the one who knows you.... to the depths of your soul..." she said as she touched his chest and carressed him. His breathing became heavier as he looked at her. "Yes.... you feel me too...." she said as she touched his mind again. "But.... the transmitter...." he said aloud. "A means only to keep you safe my love... so you wouldn't be lost..." she said as she pressed her body over his and kissed his neck. "Please..... stop..." he said. But Ciress silenced him as she continued. He wrapped his arms around her... his heart beating fast in his chest. He had been waiting for this.... he needed her touch. She knew him too well.... she knew what his thoughts were.... and she smiled as she made him hers once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Ty looked up as Crystal waved her down and draged her away from Alex. "Later little one!" "Later sis!" He dissappered into the crowd. "What? I was having fun." "I just found Lee and Ben. That's him there at the table." "Which-whoa, wat, him?" Ty pointed at Michael who looked up as if on cue and saw her pointing, Ty pulled back her hand as if on fire and blushed. "Yeah, his name is Michael. GO say hi." "Nononononono, you don't understand Crys....I can't." "Why?" "I was checking him out as he jogged by my appartmen the other day...There is no way, what are you doing?!" Ty pulled against Crystal as she pulled her towards the table and Ty saw with even more embaressment that he was already with a girl. "You see Crys, he's with someone! Don't do this to me PLEASE!" "Oh shutup! You'll thank me one day for this." "Whatever I -..." Ty looked away as they a[[roached the table. "Hi, I'm Crystal, Lee's friend's grilfriend. This is Ty, your blind date." Ty smiled and nodded. "Nice to meet you..." She fliped her hair to the side and shook his hand. Turning to Crystal she grabed her shoulder and pulled her close. "This is embaressing for me, I will get you back for this....I promise." She sat down withthe two and looked up at the bartender. "Jack Daniels, straight. On the Rocks oif you please..." He looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "That's strong little lady." "Call me little lady agian and I'll castrate you. Get me the damn drink." Michael looked at her and blinked. "I'm sorry, I know I seem like a real bitch but I hate it when my friends set me up like this. It gets on my nerves...this is the fourth in tow months. I'm Ty, your Michael so I've heard...is this your sister?" "No, I just met him as well. I'm Pheona." Ty shook her hand and frowned slightly, she had a feeling she would be getting to know her pretty well for some reason. "Pleased to meet you." Michael looked at her. "Who was the guy you were dancing with if your avalable?" "Little brother, actually one of my best friends. He's cool, short though. And he can't keep up." Michael laughed which loosened her up slightly as her drink came to her, she took it and sipped it lightly. This was turning out to be more fun than she thought.

Kairi Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 OCC: This is bad news...two lovely ladies to choose from to dance with...and only one of me to go around...and both are energetic...THIS ISN'T FAIR:)! [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]For the longest time...all three of them sat at the bar, introducing themselves, talking about everything and anything. Not in depth stuff though, for they had just met each other. But they all seemed to be getting along quiet well...almost instant friends. ''wow...look at the time...'' as Pheona glanced at her watch. ''I gotta get going, I have things to do in the morning.'' ''You're not saying that just to get away are you?'' Michael tried to sound like he was joking, but deep down Phoena could tell he was serious...[I]this guy certainly has been hurt in the past. [/I] ''No no...I really need to head out. It was wonderful meeting you, as well as for you Ty...you wanna all exchange numbers?'' ''Sure'' replied Ty as she set down her drink. Michael wrote his number twice on a piece of a napkin and gave it to both girls. Ty only wrote a napkin for Pheona... ''Cool...thanks a lot guys...I hope to hear from you soon. We should get together again sometime'' waved Pheona as she walked away towards the exit. ''So...'' ''....so...'' answered Ty. She was really trying to hide her blushing, not only was this guy the one she checked out on the street...but now she was alone with him. ''I'm sorry if I sounded inconcederate about saying that that drink was too strong for ya.''' ''Its ok...'' [I]he's nice[/I] ''I'm just not used to girls being like that...I don't like most of them that I know.'' ''Well...I'm not like any other girl.'' ''I've noticed...thats good.'' Michael said in a calm and reashuring voice. [I]Oh My God...he's so sweet. [/I] ''So...'' ''....so...'' answered Ty again. [I]Why are you being so shy....speak up.[/I] ''Would you like to get this date started and go dance...'' [I]Yes![/I] ''Um...sure, that would be great. Are you any good?'' ''You'll just have to see now dont you.'' he said with a smile as he took her hand and guided her to the dance floor. Instantly, the both of them were dancing to the music, Michael placing his hand on her waist as she got closer to him. Both of them took a quick glance towards there friends, waving in the distance. ''So...this has been your fourth blind date huh?'' ''Yes...'' [I]wow...he's pretty good. [/I] ''I hope that this one is going good for you as it is for me.'' The musics pass intensified as the bass boomed all around them. Ty's and Michaels movements were in complete sink with one anothers, both of them lossing themselves to the rythm. Michael was a complete gentlemen, keeping his hands where they should be...not taking advantage of the moment. Ty was loving it...for once a guy who respected her for who she was. They both completely lost track of time...swinging and dancing, all the motion, movement and contact was amazing. Ty finally got out of being so shy and went all out...the alcohol getting to her just a little bit. But Michael wasn't any different. To think they had just met each other...and they were being this way with one another. Sweating, breathing heavily...they continued on and on into the night as the bar night came to a close. ''Um...I guess thats it then.'' replied Michael as the music died down. ''I wish that is wasn't...'' Ty's arms wrapped around his neck. Turning to her friends...who were about to leave. She let go of him...she quickly placed a piece of a napkin in his pocket. ''Wha...'' as he tried to grab what she placed in his pocket. But she leaned forward and whispered in his ear. ''I'll call ya sometime...thank you for a wonderful time.'' and she bolted towards her friends as they left. A couple hours later...after hearing his friends talk what seemed like forever about the night...Michael finally got back to his apartment and collapsed on his bed. [I]wow...[/I] [/SIZE] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akieen Cloud Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Ty went home and sat down on her bed, her large St. Bernard laying his head on her lap. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the slip of paper that held Michael's number. The dog lapped her hand and she rubbed his head. He closed his eyes happily and she found that she was still full of energy from the night, the sun riseing in the sky now she smiled again. This was her free day, she could do what she wanted. She ran to her closet and pulle dout her black shorts and black tank top. and grabed her keys nad ran out the door lifting the latch feeding the dog on the way out and headed or the gym, She stayed there for about an hour going through her morning routine before going to the coffe shop and ordering her normal, she than headed for the Collage there. She went to the artifact site and blinked as she saw artifacts there she'd never seen. "Wow...I wonder who found these?" She loked up as a man walked over to her, she looked at him as he stood by her. "His name is Michael, he's an extrodanry young man who has much knowlage of this area." "Wow, I never would have figured he would be into this." "You know him?" "I met him last night...he's cool." "He's an extrodanry young man as I stated." "Yeah you said that already." "So, your interested in the anceint artifacts?" "I study them as well, only I identify them fot the museum." "Are you their detective of the other life?" "Um...Yes?" "Pleasure to meet you." "Likewise I'm sure...so when does he come here?" "He attends here. His first class is in one hour...he has class with me. I have a favor to ask of you. Would you please be a geust in my class today? That way soem of them will actually get their faces out of their books and read them not use them as pillows?" "I can try to show...sure no prob." "It's at noon." Ty looked at her watch. "Whoa, It's already 11? Oops, I was supposed to meet Hilde for lunch at 11:30...I think I can still make it." She rushed from the buildign inticipateing the return in an hour for the calss and a cance to see Michael again. On the way she called Crystal. [I]Hello?[/I] "Hey Crys, it's Ty...ya know that guy you set me with last night?" [I]Yeah, why did you get his number?[/I] "And gave him mine." [I]But you never give your number on the first date let alone a blind one, you feelin' okay there Michael's?[/I] Never better, look I'm meeting Hilde for lunch in about 15 so I gotta go. Love ya." [I]Love ya too, you seein' him again?[/I] "Dunno later!" She hung up the phone and headed for the diner at the corner ready for another good day.

Redemption Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 [COLOR=Purple][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Phoena walked out of the club and into the street. She didn't really want to go but thought it best for Michael and Ty to get on with their date. As they say, three's a crowd. Phoena walked the streets alone, looking them up and down. She sighed. It would have been nice to dance with someone, but all good things must come to an end. A sudden neigh caught Phoena's attention. A beautiful bay stallion stood lonely in a stall. " Aren't you handsome?" Phoena said, walking over to the horse. She had her hand out to touch it when it nuzzled its nose into her open hand. " Looks like you're lonely too my friend." There was a wooden stool beside the stall. Phoena sat down on it heavily. She looked at the ground for a few moments, her hand stroking the stallion's muzzle. Sighing, Phoena looked up again to see a woman looking at her with laughter in her eyes. The woman was dressed in a tight-fitting pink dress and had some feminine features that every man desired for. " What now?" Phoena sighed. It seemed like she knew this woman. [b][COLOR=Magenta]" What now? You my dear are sitting alone without anyone around you. Seems a little sad when you had the chance to dance with a perfectly good gentleman,"[/COLOR][/b] the woman mocked. " I'm not like you Aphrodite. I just don't live for romance the way you do. I'm not like that. I'm more like Artemis than anything." Another female voice entered the conversation. [b][COLOR=DarkGreen]" So you are Phoena. But it doesn't mean you couldn't call him or anything. He did give you his number."[/COLOR][/b] A woman in a midnight blue tank top and long pants appeared beside the woman in pink. " Don't tell me you're taking sides with her! Aren't you supposed to be a virgin-goddess Artemis?" [COLOR=DarkGreen][b]" Quite right. Then you are a lot like me, aren't you? Do you instantly kill any man that would see you naked while bathing?"[/COLOR][/b] " No. But I sure as hell would give him a whooping he'd never forget." The two women looked at each other and laughed. [b][COLOR=Magenta]" You are like Artemis!"[/COLOR][/b] The women both laughed again. Phoena just sighed and shook her head at them. " Cursed to live with goddesses that just pop up whenever they feel like it. I just love my life..." Phoena sighed sarcastically. [b]The next morning...[/b] Phoena woke up in the morning to find the smell of breakfast wafting through her new apartment. Slowly getting up, she walked to the kitchen to find the table spread with all her favourite foods from Greece. A note was left on her plate. It said: [i]Phoena, I know how you miss the woods and home, so I thought I'd bring home to you. Have a lovely breakfast my dear. Hestia[/i] " Oh Hestia...." Before Phoena could sit down to have her scrumptous meal, the doorbell rang. Climbing down the stairs to the front door, Phoena noticed that someone had been in her house - most likely her frequent, but invisible, guests. She opened the door to find the bay stallion standing at the door, the reins tried to the pole outside. Yet another note was on the pole. This one said: [i]Phoena, I saw how much you liked this horse last night. And how much it liked you. So I bought it off the owner for a ridiculously high price (but he was incredibly poor anyway) so I hope you like it. Artemis[/i] " What the hell am I going to do with a horse Artemis!" Phoena breathed. The stallion nuzzled Phoena in the side. She stroked him again down the muzzle. " Well boy, I think I should give you a name. How about Pegasus? It would be so fitting." The horse nodded its head up and down. Phoena cursed at Artemis in Greek and took Pegasus to the nearest stables, so he could be cared for. " I'll be back my friend. I have no idea what I am going to do with you but we'll see." Walking back to her apartment, Phoena grabbed her mobile phone out and dialled Ty's number. It rang for a few moments before an answering machine picked up. " Oh....obviously you're not home Ty....it's Phoena...the girl you met last night....I was wondering if you'd like to go out tonight. I was going to ask Michael to come too, if you didn't mind. Oh well. Call me back." Phoena hung up and then rang Michael. Again, the answering machine picked up. " Michael....it's Phoena, from last night....I was wondering if you'd like to go out tonight....I've invited Ty too. Call me back." Phoena hung up again. " What a day....." OOC: Sorry. Had no idea what to do. But maybe our assassins could hit us tonight when we're out together. Just a thought.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engel Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 [color=darkred][size=1] Kevin looked through the window into the apartment next to his. He saw a beautiful young woman, about his age, all alone. [i]I saw her last night....she got turned down. I'll talk to her. She seems...nice.[/i] Kevin put his guns in their holstiers, and laced his sword on his back, underneath his red leather jacket. Walking down the stairs, several people looked at him strange, but then, it wasn't uncommon to see someone with weapons. Kevin shrugged it off, and exited the building. His teeth dug into his bottom lip as he realized what he was doing. [i]I'm asking out a really hot girl, who I don't even know....[/i] He dredged up his courage from the bottom of his soul and went up to the apartment where he saw her go last night. Knocking on the door, he waited.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairi Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray][SIZE=1]''............BRIAN!" sweating uncontrolably down his entire body...his body acking with anger and sadness. He had the dream again...the one he's been having since he was very young. ''Fuck!...I can't believe this...three days in a row...this isn't good.'' Michael said to himself, quickly getting out of bed to bring himself to ease. With all these intense visions he's been having lately...it only made his dream more real. It was so long ago when it first started...and ever now and then, it would resurface. He and his brother are running through a very dark forest, he is only at the age of 9, and his brother is 7. Running together, he turns around to see his entire family running behind him. Bringing his attention to the forest before them, they go further and further into in. He's filled with a very terrifying feeling; that they are all running away from something. He turns aruond yet again to look at this family...but realizes that they are all gone, lost in the darkness. Gripping his brothers hand...they find themselves before a great oak with its roots and trunk sticking out of the ground, forming a place to hide. Michael goes in...but finds that his brother does follow. Through the roots he cries out to him to get in...but he doesn't. And before Michael can do anything...a beast comes out of no where and comes face to face with his brother, about to kill him... And then he wakes up... *ring ring* ''Hey...its Mike...no no...I'm fine...I know I'm breathing a little heavily, just had a bad dream thats all. Um...I'm giving you permission to put the artifacts out onto display as well as for study without me being there.'' ''yes yes...I know I should be there but...*heaving heavily for breathe* I'm not feeling to hot alright man. Thanks...take care...later'' *click* ''Damn it...'' feeling exhausted he layed himself down on his couch. The sweat on his body cooling to the fan above him. [I]I can't take these nightmares anymore...[/I] pressing the back of his hand onto his forehead. He hated having this dream...it made him feel so torn inside, so empty. Battling with himself between rage for his brothers dead...*sniffle*...''I miss you Brian.'' It had been a year ago...when it happened. And he wasn't able to be there for him...in his time of need. Everytime...it broke him inside. He wasn't wearing a shirt, only black pj pants as he lay there on his couch...thinking...wondering... [I]I'm such a failure Brian *crying*...I feel so alone...empty and forsaken. [/I] he continued this for a good hour or two...letting his mind and heart wander in the dark before he finally calmed himself down. It didn't take him long to do so...but it made it even harder in those two hours. Quicker than most could do...he'd been to councelors, all they had were answers which he knew...not the comfort and love which was what he wanted. His fathers weren't able to do such things...not since the days of his past and his scars. *beep....you have, one new message* as his answering machine clicked on. Michael didn't even notice that it was ringing. ''Michael...It's Pheona from last night...I was wondering if you'd like to go out tonight...I've invited Ty to....''*message deleted* Michael shot out from the couch and saw a cloaked man standing over his phone. ''Sounds like a nice young woman there Michael...you should try again...'' ''what are you doing in my house, and how do you know my name?...'' Michael declared as he ran to his living room fireplace and took out one scimitar from its sheath. ''We know a lot about you...Ice.'' ''Get out...'' he hadn't been called that for years. ''No...I will leave with what I came for.'' ''And what would that be...'' as Michael brought his blade to his side...ready for an attack. ''My masters...wants your head...'' as the man charged at Michael, with two daggers drawn. ''Fool...I am in no mood...'' he said softly as he swung the scimitar across his chest, knocking the two daggers from the attackers hands, however, not before cutting the side of his forearm as Michael brought the blade back around and decapitated him. [I]No one calls me that name....no one...[/I] Reaching over the dead corpse for the phone as he nursed his wound on his left forearm...and dialed 911. Speaking in Egyptian...''Hi...I would like to report a break in, and an attempted murder on my life.......''[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 [color=darkslategray]Jessica looked through her books... she was floored with all the information she found... he mentioned Auran... it wasn't just a name... it was a [i]place.[/i] She read through her father's books, and replaced all the words with a locational meaning... she couldn't believe it... Auran was a capital... of Lire. She stared out the window. He was [i]going[/i] to Auran... where in the hell was that? The towns... there was no place around here called Auran... unless he meant the deserts. But there was no shelter in the sands. She closed her eyes... it was 2 o clock in the morning... she laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Who was he? Was he... from that place? And who was Ciress? Was she truly the evil the writings speak of? Was she trying to bring destruction to the world? Was she [i]really[/i] the one who was destined to stop her? So many stories... and she remembered the one about the King.... Thor Ratharn... a loving King... who led his people to a prosperous age... he had one son... who was swallowed by the sands, but destined to appear. [i]Was that him??[/i] She got up again and read through all her journals. [i]Father.... what were you keeping from us?[/i] A man... cloaked in black appeared in front of her. She fell off her chair in fright.[/color] [color=green]"Do not be alarmed child... I come in behalf of the one I love..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]he said kindly. She stood up and looked at him... his face partially covered.[/color] [color=blue]"Who are you?"[/color] [color=darkslategray]she asked.[/color] [color=green]"Do not be decieved... I am already dead... but I come... as a reminder to the one I love..."[/color] [color=blue]"Who is that? Who are you??"[/color] [color=darkslategray]she said. She could see him smile.[/color] [color=green]"I am... King Thor Ratharn.... Razel's... father... you must help him..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]he said gravely.[/color] [color=blue]"That's impossible... you died... 3000 years ago... Razel barely is in his 20's!!"[/color] [color=darkslategray]she said... was this a sick joke?[/color] [color=green]"This is no joke child... I am here... and I am not here... you need to find the ones who hold those stones..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]he said. She walked over to him and he placed his hand on her shoulder... she felt nothing... his hand... wasn't [i]really[/i] there.[/color] [color=blue]"I don't understand..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]she said staring at him.[/color] [color=green]"My son is in grave danger... if he is corrupted by Ciress... the world will never be the same again. You... are the only one who can save him."[/color] [color=blue]"I barely know him..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]she said softly. She wasn't understanding any of this.[/color] [color=green]"My son... has been decieved all his life. He is... the heir to Auran... The Nation of Lire... Ciress is trying to Reborn the nation of old... and you cannot allow her to let that happen."[/color] [color=blue]"What do I do?"[/color] [color=darkslategray]she said staring at him. He pulled back his cloak and he looked... just like Razel... he wasn't ghostly looking... he looked real now. She stared at him... her father had been right all this time.[/color] [color=green]"Tell my son... that I love him... and that I hope to see his days reborn again..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]he said. She could see tears in his eyes........ [i]TEARS...[/i][/color] [color=blue]"I will..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]she said.[/color] [color=darkslategray]He composed himself.[/color] [color=green]"Save him child... don't let him fall..."[/color] [color=darkslategray]he said as he disappeared.[/color] [color=blue]"BUT HOW DO I FIND HIM??? HOW DO I FIND THE HOLDERS OF THE JIRAX???"[/color] [color=darkslategray]she screamed after him. She fell to the floor... Razel... was an ancient heir to the throne of Egypt... She got up and equipped her weapons... she needed to find these ones... but how? Her pendant had four holes in them... she lifted it up... and one of the stones lit up and a soft chime came from it... one of the holders... were very close.[/color] ******** OOC: Alright, here's the plan... looks as if things are getting slow where things are supposed to get going. So I'm changing a few things. Jessica will meet with the Jirax holders, but as they go to the temple, they are all captured. I will send you changes, and you can ask or make suggestions since this is a new twist in underground. I want everyone to feel involved, so let's get things moving quickly. Long posts if necessary to fit everything in. Your assassins have been sent out. Nobody will meet Razel though until later... Heero is still not back yet. :) I will post sometime later tonight or tomorrow, depending on when everyone is aware of this notice. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS IN UNDERGROUND. I will keep the original floor plan of this story, but this new twist is just to get things moving again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
