Aeyra

Ax? Why the heck are you using AXES????? Um... Pyre! Somehow magically escape please! (Moho... Why are you so desperate to kill EVERYONE?) It's dark in here, thought Aeyra, strangely calm even though she was locked in a trunk. It's so quiet too. Maybe they aren't talking? Fumbling with her hands, she grabbed her phone with difficulty, and with practiced hands turned her phone to vibrate. That way if they call, they won't hear... And just like that, the phone rang. Answering, she laid it down and rolled over so she could speak directly into it and hear the call. "Aeyra?" The voice was tentative, as if they were afraid Mark would answer again. When he didn't, it continued, "Where are you?" "T-trunk of a car," panted Aeyra, suddenly realizing how out of breath she was. "I don't know where I'm heading though. Keep the call on and make sure you track it." "The trunk of a car?" repeated Misaki-chan, surprised. "Won't you run out of oxygen?" Then she let out an 'oh' of realization. "You're going to be unconscious by the time you get there." "I'm already feeling dizzy," admitted Aeyra. "But I thought it was just my head though. And the air does feel kinda thin." "We're definitely coming to get you!" declared Legend, snatching the phone away. "You and Chelsea, so hang in there, okay?" All of sudden, the car stopped, and the trunk door was yanked open. Aeyra quickly shielded the phone with her body, placing it back in her spacious jacket pocket. "Get up," commanded a rough voice, and obeying him, Aeyra got to her feet unsteadily, leaning against the car. "What are you waiting for? Get OUT too!" She jumped, barely managing to keep from falling. When someone started to lead her down a hallway, she was glad to have someone holding the chains. After a few minutes of walking, she was thrust into a cell, a small dim light in the corner. There was a girl in the corner, and Aeyra exclaimed, "Chelsea?!"

"S**t," cursed Aeyra, peeking out of the garbage bin they had hidden in. "What do we do now? We're trapped in a stinking box filled with trash and there are two teenage guys trying to shoot us with illegally obtained guns. Just peachy." "Quiet!" whispered Misaki-chan despite the fact Aeyra's complaining was nearly inaudible. But it wasn't like she could blame her- it wasn't a very comfortable situation and the girl had been shot in the head by a probable psychopath. When did an innocent vacation to New Jersey turn into a life-or-death chase of cat and mouse? They heard calls mere yards away and froze, knowing that they couldn't survive a barrage of bullets even if most of them missed. More likely they'd be turned into a human version of Swiss cheese. "Don't find us, don't find us," prayed Legend almost silently, hands clasped in terror. "We know you're here somewhere!" one of the yelled, voice projecting and echoing through the alley. "If you come out quietly now, we'll just bring you to Mark. If we have to search and you're found- well, how about we leave that up to your imaginations? You're just teenage girls, shouldn't be that difficult." They heard snickers, and lay with bated breath. If they were taken to Mark, they'd probably (almost definitely) get killed. If they were found (which was also likely), they'd get shot. And if these guys were just trying to get them out of their hiding place... They were screwed either way. "I'll distract them," gruntled Aeyra, getting into a position where she could open the lid. "I've already been shot in the head, I'll just be slowing you guys down. Stay hidden if they believe my story, run as fast as you possibly can if they don't. No time for protest," she whispered, keeping the two others from talking. "Take my iTouch- if you get Wifi, try and call me. If you hear shots... Run." With that, she burst out, making sure to give Legend and Misaki-chan time to scramble into better positions to remain unnoticed. "Good girl," said one of the two. "As promised, you're not going to die here. What Mark does is a different question. Now where are the other two?" Aeyra trembled as she stared into the barrel of the gun placed in front of her face. "T-they told me to hide in there because it was a good place and they ran off 'cause I was slowing them down. I didn't want to be in there but they forced me into it and-" "Oh right. You're the deadweight who got shot. Mark's been talking about that. He swears he's not missing this time." Taking handcuffs out of his pocket, he clasped them around Aeyra's wrists. "Search for the other two! Look in that giant trash can first. She might have been lying." In a quieter voice he added, "You better not have been. Otherwise I'll be doing the honors." "Don't find them," begged Aeyra silently, hoping the disparity didn't show on her face. She let out a huge sigh of relief as the other teen declared they weren't there. They'd probably managed to dig a bit deeper. "Into the car you go," commanded the teen who had the gun pointed at her. "The trunk to be specific. We'll probably find the others later. Mark says one at a time is fine too." As the car zoomed out of sight, Misaki-chan and Legend crawled out, watching it zoom away. "That's a police car," commented Legend.

I know, but I was writing ony itouch so it took forever and I didn't know you wrote something while I was writing. Gomen!

Fine. If no one wants to write, I'll do it. EDIT: Sorry! I was writing before Mark came in! You can decide which storyline to use, whoever goes next. "Thank god I brought cash... It's only fifty bucks a night..." muttered Misaki-chan, paying for their room as she was currently the only one capable of standing straight. "And this place is about 10 minutes walk from that hospital... There's no way he would guess we only ran this far, and we went through alleyways the whole time." Louder, she asked the clerk, "Do you have any directories for pizza places and stuff? Like, delivery?" "Those should be in your room," he answered, flipping through a magazine. No wonder the place was so cheap. "Thanks," she said, heading back to the room which all three were sharing. When she entered the room, the first thing she noticed was Aeyra twiddling with her iTouch. "Hey!" exclaimed Misaki-chan, approaching her. "This'll only make you more dizzy!" "I'm using it to find Chelsea," she mumbled, clutching her forehead. "You know how she gave us her number? My phone can call people. And if Mark knocked her unconscious like me, then like me she'll still have her cell phone. This is probably less traceable. But using a couple apps, I can trace her." She hit the call button, and was immediately surprised TI hear an immediate answer. But it wasn't Chelsea. "Hello you three," purred a low, evil voice, a voice that caused them to freeze in terror. "This is Mark. I think you can guess Chelsea's condition." "M-Mark?!" sputtered KKLT, instantly covering her mouth as she realized she'd given away the fact they were alive. "I knew it. You guys are alive," he murmured, sounding almost happy. "May I ask who decided to call?" They were silent for a moment before Aeyra answered weakly. "I-it's mine. I'm calling with my cell phone." "Who would have thought you'd survive a bullet to the head?" mused Mark, chuckling. "And an explosion? But if you don't want your friend to die, your luck's run out. In order to get her back, I'd like two of you to exchange yourselves as my victims in place of her." He wants to break us, thought Aeyra. Everybody obviously wants to live, and one person has to be selfish enough to not give up their life. And if we don't, Chelsea dies, and probably the rest of us with her. "You have four hours to make up your mind. As you know, Aeyra, I have a very eager trigger finger." And with that, he hung up.

Someone else write something!!!

Waiting for Moho. (to try and kill us again)

Anyone care to continue? (cuz I'm too busy drawing a DraMione picture.)

Hopefully it's the golf bag...

"Shoot this stings like mad," gasped Aeyra, hand to her bandages. "And we can't stay here. If he finds out we're still alive, he'll definitely attack us again. We've got to get out of here, we've got to run." She started to sprint, but collapsed a couple feet away, head burning like the fire behind her. "Don't get yourself even more injured!" scolded Misaki-chan, even though she too was starting to flee the scene. "We have to be careful, okay? If we go to the police, we might get protection!" "And what happened the last time a nice police officer tried to take us to the station?" asked KKLT sarcastically, almost rolling her eyes. "It turned out to be Mark and Aeyra GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD!" "Where else are we supposed to go?!" protested Misaki-chan, letting Aeyra lean on her shoulder. "Both of you have serious head injuries, we can't go to the police, a hospital was bombed, both Chelsea and Cure-kun are missing, and we have a maniac on our heels!" "We should get a hotel room," said Aeyra. "Let's get a couple of streets away- he probably thinks we're dead for the moment. We'll catch a taxi to some cheap motel, get some medicine from a convenience store, and hide until we're sure we're safe."

@Moho- You're getting very strange... I hope you ate somehting.. (maybe a cookie?)

"This sucks," murmured Aeyra, her head swathed with bandages after the surgery to try and repair the damage to her skull. "It hurts like hell." "No kidding," replied KKLT, a bored expression on her face. "And we're not even allowed to do anything while our friends might be being killed this very instant! How dare they try and keep us in here!" "Wanna try an escape?" asked Aeyra, lowering her voice. There were no doctors in the room- it was rest time- but one could never be too careful. "I'm a little dizzy, but I think I could manage it. You?" "Definitely. The brick stung, but it's not a major injury. I wonder where it came from," she mused. "It's not everyday you get hit by a brick falling from no where." "No kidding. Who would have thought Mark would shoot me in the head? I'll kill him for that."

No, you'll just come magically back to life like me and KKLT. I am immortal!!!

*waits patiently... Screw it, I'll write cuz I'm bored.* "Are you awake?" asked a doctor, looking at Aeyra surprisingly. "You're quite lucky. Most people wouldn't have survived a gun shot to the head but there's always exceptions." "G-gun shot?" exclaimed Aeyra, shocked. So Mark- so Mark had really shot her... And if KKLT was here, what did that mean for Misaki-chan and Chelsea. "You didn't know?" His eyebrows furrowed in curiosity, and because he knew the girl wasn't dying anytime soon, he decided to interrogate her. "Can you tell me what happened?" "Me and my friends were being taken to the police station after being hostages, and then the police officer was the kidnapper, and then we tried to get out of the car, and he caught me, and I don't know the rest. But she's one of my friends." Aeyra pointed to KKLT, who was starting to wake up. "Ouch..." she murmured.

KKLT... Couldn't you just say it knocked you out? It's not like anyone checked that you were dead. I'm not exactly sure what to do right now since we're waiting for Misaki and Mark... How about me and KKLT get taken to the hospital cuz the ambulance passed you on the way! Yay! Ugh... Where am I? Aeyra's mind was as foggy as a swamp on a humid morning. She could see the hustle and bustle in the small space, and realized she was in an ambulance. There was also someone else with her. Aeyra opened her eyes with difficulty, and realized that her companion was none other than KKLT. She didn't appear to be moving, and Aeyra froze in shock for a moment until she saw the rise and fall of KKLT's chest. Thank goodness...

I'm signing up for August! (just let me change my profile pic real quick, 'kay?)

I'm confuzzled. (it's a word, maybe not a real one, but it's a word!) I haven't been here in a while. Vacation prevented me from coming on. Can someone explain?
