Running from Loneliness (open)

[serenity]

Running, thunder and lighting sounding in the distance, Serenity checks to make sure all the children are with her. One missing, just as she was going to scream his name, she heard the crash of the medical supply cart and turned in time to see him crash to the floor.
"Daniel!" She cried.
"Serenity! Help me! I think I broke my leg! It hurts so much!" He cried. The sound of the Erasers were coming closer.
"Serenity! They're coming! Hurry up we don't have much time!" The other children screamed in terror. Serenity had no idea what she was going to do. She could see them coming down the hall. It was either they all left alive and Daniel was left behind, or they all where captured and maybe even killed. Serenity didn't want to die, but she also didn't want to leave Daniel behind. He was the only that understood her feelings and helped her hide the tears she cried at night when she was tested to her limits. Another crash of lightning bolted her to her senses and she ran toward the exit. Listening to the screams of Daniel and the howls of the Erasers, the alarms making her run faster and faster. Opening her wings as they broke through the doors of the Lab. She watched as the others took to the sky, but she could not, her wings couldn't move, wouldn't move. It was as if something was holding her back. She turned and saw that Daniel was grasping her wings. His face bloodied and his eyes glowing an ominous crimson. "Where are you going Serenity? I thought you were going to save us? All of us!"

Serenity jolts awake panting, noticing that she is sweating and crying. She looks around the abandoned house and notices that she was awoken by the thunder and the lightning, making her wince and run for the empty, broken-down kitchen cabinet under the deteriorated sink. The thunder rolls and lightning flashes again, making her cry even harder, wishing she could stop her weaker side, stop herself from convulsing with sobs. She is all alone now, the children now off with other flocks or on their own. But Daniel, thinking about him now, she starts to calm down and is remembering her dream, her nightmare. She's remembering Daniel's sweet face, the way he held her when she cried at night when the Erasers had gone too hard on her earlier in the day. She shakes her head and curls up in the corner of the cabinet. Her cries are almost silent now and her convulsions turning into trembling. Serenity drifts back off to sleep, knowing it's time to take off again, hoping to find him, hoping that Daniel escaped and was looking for her too. And with that, she dreams. Dreams of the flock she is looking for and her Daniel.

[Yami & Yume]

[Yami] Yami was walking, for once by himself. He was wearing one of his favorite dresses, white with black bow tied around his waist with long lacy sleeves. He was kind of worried that something bad would happen to him since his sister was nowhere in his sight. "Oh, Yume-nee where are you...?" He thought aloud looking around, walking down the boulevard.
Some creeps began walking up to him. "Hey look at the cutie... wanna have some fun?"

[Yami] "Umm..." He started scared since a group of scary looking guys surrounded him thinking he was a girl.

[serenity]

Serenity woke to the smell of something strange, yet vaguely familiar. She looked around and realized that she was still inside the cabinet. She slowly crept out and looked around. No one was there, but she heard voices coming from outside. "Hey look at the cutie...wanna have some fun?" she heard from the window and looked out to see a bunch of creeps standing around a pretty girl in a beautiful dress. But with a closer look, Serenity noticed that 'she' was in-fact a 'he'. Serenity chuckled and rolled her eyes. 'He's a big boy, he can take them,' Serenity thought as she turned to start her packing. A startling pang hit inside of Serenity, making her stop in her tracks. She saw a flash of Daniel being left behind and turned back to the window. This time, she saw the creeps getting closer to the boy and smiling sickish-ly. She knew that kind of grin anywhere, the Erasers. They where here, maybe even looking for her. She ran from the window and grabbed her bag. She bolted down the stairs and was about to go out the back door when she heard the boy scream. She sighed and ran out the front, dropping her bag she launched herself at the first guy, who had the boy by his arms, knocking him backwards, releasing the boy from his grasp. The others noticed Serenity and attacked. She kicked the second guy hard in the chest, sending him flying backwards on the sidewalk. The third grabbed Serenity’s foot and twisted, hard and fast, sending a bone-crushing pain in her leg. She fell to the ground fast and lied still. The third guy went to pick Serenity up and was surprised when her arm flew up and smashed his nose flat to his face. Serenity limped to the boy and started running toward the nearest ally and hid beneath the dumpsters, she had picked up on of the Eraser’s skill and mimicked it, turning her and the boy invisible as the Erasers ran past the, still searching for them.

[Yami & Yume]

[Yami] Felt his arms being grabbed and the other guys were getting closer to him. Suddenly out of nowhere as it seemed a girl showed up and began kicking some major ass.

HE fell down and sat still while they continued to fight. After a while she grabbed him and dragged him down an alley where they hid.

[Yume] Meanwhile Yume headed back to where she had left her brother as she went to get some info on the whereabouts of their mother. "Yami? Oi, Yami where are you?"

[Yami] "Um, thanks for saving me but I should really go find my sister." He said nervously as the last eraser had gotten to the turn at the end of the alley.

[serenity]

"Whatever," Serenity said and got up to make sure the erasers were really gone, "don't mention it, I just happened to be at the right place at the right time, I guess." Serenity turned to leave when she saw a girl walking at the opening of the alley, like she was looking for something, or someone. But, she didn't want to stick around to help.

[Yami & Yume]

[Yume] "Yami! Where are you!" She yelled very un-lady like.

[Yami] "H-here!" He started running to his identical sister. "Thanks." He said turning for a moment to wave.

[serenity]

Serenity had no clue what to do, so she waved and started off down the alley, forgetting her bag and just kept walking, listening to the murmured voices of the brother and sister behind her. She heard the boy call to her again and she turned to see what he wanted.

[Yami & Yume]

[Yami] "Hey! Um, you for got your bag." He said timidly running over to the forgotten bag and bringing it to her before turning back to his sister.

[Yume] "Make a new friend?" She asked her brother jokingly.

[Yami] "KInda... she saved me from some scary looking pervs. who turned out to be erasers."

[serenity]

Serenity took her bag and gave him her best smile she could manage. "Thanks, and like i said, don't mention it. I just happened to be leaving when i saw you. i would have hated myself if i left someone behind, again." Serenity put her head back down and mentally slapped herself, "what am i thinking? Why am I spilling personal things to complete strangers? This isn't like me at all," she thought. But, she somehow felt comfortable aroud them. "Anyhow," she said as she slung her bag over her shoulder and turned to leave. "I have to get out of here now before their backup team shows up. I can't get caught." The last part was almost a whisper and she just wanted to pop open her wings and fly off into the sky. But, just then, she felt the presence of someone she never thought she would see again. as she turned back around, she saw him and felt her whole body stop. he was the one she was running to and now here he was, just as she remembered him, only taller and stronger.

[Yami & Yume]

[Yume] She grabbed her brothers hand and starteed pulling him. "OK, you've said your thanks now time to go find mom."

[Yami] "R-right!"

[Fox]

Fox walked the streets, unsure of were to go. It had been a long time since he had entered the city, and his wallet had taken a huge hit from having to buy new clothes and gear. He sighed to himself, knowing he would have to take down another bird kid eventually for money. He glanced around, noting that he had walked from before hearing the scuffle of fighting. He grinned to himself, his bones aching for something to smash into and rip apart before, and flinched, wondering what he had just thought. He threw that away into the back of his mind for later, noting that not only were people fighting, it was bird kids fighting erasers. He ran over to the alley they were fighting and hoped the escape ladder to the top of the roof just in in time to see a girl kick the snot out of a group of new erasers as they were about to attack a girl in a dress, "Guy" for mumbled, correcting himself as he saw his face, his mouth twisting into a smirk, which grew even wider when the erasers ran away with their tails behind their backs. He was stilled shocked by the fact the girl had turned invisible, a little awed by the School's ability to grant such powers. He shrugged it off as another girl approached them and they exchanged words. He noted the girl who had beaten the erasers felt disconcerted with whatever she was saying yet slightly relaxed. He cracked his knuckles, getting bored of waiting and was about to jump down and attack when tension so thick filled the air even he could feel it. The "kicka**" girl, as he will refer to her henceforth, was stone still and looking at an eraser who had appeared at the end of the ally, here eyes filled with disbelief as the other two bird kids tried to edge away from the situation. He smiled, wanting to see how the situation played out and jumped down, blocking the two bird kids from escaping. He smiled, and flicked the hair out of his eyes, something he had forgotten to address when buying clothes, and said gently "I think you better stay and watch this. It might be fun"

[serenity]

Serenity looked at the new comer with a confused look. Wondering why another Eraser was attacking them. Daniel turned and looked back at Serenity like the Eraser posed no threat to them. Serenity started shaking and ran to Daniel. Daniel smiled at her like he had when they where back at the Lab. Serenity sobbed and couldn't stop from saying, "I can't believe I found you!" and "Oh God! I'm so sorry!" Serenity finally realized that they had an audience and pulled away from Daniel to wipe her eyes. Let's go we have to leave now, the Erasers might be coming back." Serenity turned to run to the end of the alley and stopped when she realized Daniel wasn't following her. She found that Daniel was walking towards the others. Daniel whispered something to the others and they all nodded in agreement. After a few minutes of discussion, Daniel turned and looked at Serenity. "Looks like we got some help for our mission." Confussed, Serenity stared at Daniel and asked, "What mission?" Daniel chuckled and replied, "The mission to destroy the lab, of course!" Serenity and the others all looked at Daniel like his head was on fire. The girl stepped forward.

[Yami & Yume]

[Yume] "What the hell is going on here? Cuz if it doesn't pertain to us, we'll be leaving now..." She said angrily while trying not to crush her brother's wrist in her grip.

[Yami] "Nee-sama please don't get angry. Um, we need to be on our way..." he said timidly as he fidgetted with the frilly hem of his dress. "We shouldn't fight. It's kind of a waste of time you know?" He said trying to smile shyly. Trying to subtly say we don't wanna fight its a waste of time. So can we go now.

[Fox]

Fox stared in apprehension at the newcomer, clearly seeing he was an eraser. What shocked him the most was that not only that he was an eraser, but that the kickass bird kid went up and hugged him. HUGGED him for Gods sake Fox thought, laughing at the bird-eraser companionship before realizing he had been, or hopefully was in one, a sad smiling crossing his face, with Dakota. He shook his head away from the thoughts and glanced up as the eraser started walking towards them and talked with them about his plan to invade the lab. Fox's eyes lit up at this idea, wanting to get action after such a long time being passive, and agreed without hesitation. With that resolved, he looked at the guy in girls clothes and the girl in guy clothes, noting that both would be more at home if they were the opposite sex and said to the girl who clearly held the authority between the two, "Why don't you join us? I can see from your body and heart rate that your a good fighter, we could use the extra pair of hands, even your....brother....could help."

[serenity]

Serentiy stood staring at all of them. she was so confused. "The hell? Daniel, where have you been and what's with this plan to take down the Lab? Why does this guy thing your an eraser? Last time I saw you, you were a Bird-kid. And who's Dakota?" Serenity looked around at the others and turned around. "I'm going, Daniel, if you want to follow me then fine. But if you really came back to be with me, then fine, prove it." Serentiy unfolded her wings and ran to the back of the alley and jumped, flapping her wings as hard as she could to get air. She left the others behind her and prayed that Daniel would follow her.

[Yami & Yume]

[Yume] "Hey who are you anyways?" She asked the eraser that had showed up. "What what makes you think we want to go anywhere near that place when we have other more important things to do."

[Fox]

Fox frowned, noting that he had been incorrect in his notion of this new person being a eraser. He was in fact a bird kid, but that did not cover for the excess eraser smell on him. Fox narrowed his eyes slightly, unsure how to proceed when he jumped a little from hearing the bird kid say Dakota's name. He frowned and asked, "How do you kno-" before being cut off as she spoke to "Daniel" before jumping off. He watched Daniel carefully, wondering how he would take care of the situation before turning to the twin sister and smiling said, "The names Fox, and i have no hold on you whatsoever. I you wish to depart, then do so, but i strongly urge you follow this through. It might turn out to be fun."
