Toko's The Unwanted (for reference only)

Casey Jewels

So he's not the only one that doesn't trust Jason... Thomas
slid down off of the tree and gestured at Fuegar to lead the
way. "Don't worry, I'm watching him pretty closely. I don't
like him much either."



manysidestome

"It's a bit odd he's the most friendly with the members of the
Unwanted, even though he shouldn't know who they are," Fuegar
commented. "Unless someone told him who were members." He
walked back toward the cafeteria, where he knew the other
unwanted members he left earlier would likely still be.



Casey Jewels

"It's nice to finally find someone who shares my views about
him." Thomas fell into step behind the demon and glanced up at
the sky once more. He then slowly shook his head and looked
down at their destination. I have a feeling that I'm going to
have a really difficult time hiding what I am for the next
little while...



manysidestome

"You don't have to look far, people don't like him, but they
will pretend they do. You can read them in that way, in what's
fake and what's real concerning their emotions," Fuegar said.
"Most Unwanted don't really share that view though, they're
blinded by his act."



Casey Jewels

"I know," Thomas said. "Which is exactly why I don't trust
him. He's far to kind to us." He stepped ahead of Fuegar and
held the door open for the demon. "But this is not the place
to talk about that."



manysidestome

"I will say no more about it," Fuegar said. He looked over at
Jason and the others, where he last left them. He remembered
to appeared bored and empty inside, stupid and everything else
he used to fool people.



Casey Jewels

Thomas glanced around the room and, spotting a nearly empty
table, started towards it. Remember, be careful with him.
Don't want an incident here, which means that I have to watch
what I say and do.



manysidestome

"Aren't you going to get anything to eat," Fuegar asked. He
really didn't want to be in here if they were just going to
sit around. That's what he had a room for, and he could be his
demon self there.



Casey Jewels

Thomas shrugged and glanced back at Fuegar. "Already did.
But..." He sat down at the table and stared in Jason's
direction. "I thought it might be best if I kept my eye on
things." Then he let out a sigh and looked up at the demon. So
many things to do... "But if you really don't want to be here,
then don't let me stop you from leaving."



iamkatara

Rachel got up and decided to walk around. She saw two boys in
the corner. SHe walked over to them with her tray. "You guys
look like you needed some company. Is it ok of I sit here?"



Casey Jewels

Thomas tore his gaze away from Jason to look at the girl. Then
he glanced at Fuegar, and then back to the girl. "I guess..."
he said to her. "If you really want too..."



Fire Lord

"But it's true, Dorjee," whispered Jason.

"If you don't ask her out, she never will go out with you. Did
you expect to just wake up and be married to her? You've got
to take the step man."



manysidestome

"Do what you like, I'm not staying," Fuegar said. He didn't
feel the need to monitor Jason, he wouldn't make a move alone.
He was too much of a coward to do that. He didn't have much to
gain by it either, since his whole deal was acting like he
cared.



Casey Jewels

"Alright. See you later, then." He nodded in farewell to the
demon and then looked back at Jason. What are you planning,
little boy? What do you have to gain from all this? And who
are you, truly? I need to know...



manysidestome

Fuegar passed Raqueal, who was still eating alone. He barely
noticed him, the demon had other matters on his mind. Raqueal
didn't look at the demon, he just wanted to eat in peace.



TokoToTheEnd

(It seemed that no one was on until I got off
yesterday.....weird. Anyways what's going on?)



manysidestome

OOC: Well, Fuegar and Thomas became kind of friends, kind of
acquantances, talked for a bit, Fuegar get's anger problems
occasionally, they went to the cafeteria again, both don't
like James. James has been hinting to Dorjee to ask Tobi out.
I think that's it.



TokoToTheEnd

(Is everyone still in the cafertia?)



Fire Lord

(Yes, mostly at one table)



manysidestome

OOC: Except Rachel and Thomas, they're at a different table.
Raqueal is by himself. Fuegar left again.



TokoToTheEnd

(Ok!)

Alice thought about it.

"I could sing."

Faith smiled at her, but she just returned it with a glossy
stare.

"Do you guys want me to leave," asked the timid girl.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee sighed, taking another bite out of his steak. "...do
not concern yourself with my social life, Jason." He said,
keeping the anger out of his voice. "I will do what I see fit
when I am ready."



Georgie

Tobi smiled at Alice - "Hey, maybe you and I could do some
magic tricks? I can do that card trick pretty well..." Tobi
nudged Alice, before taking another glance at Jason, hope
present in her gaze. She stopped herself, and looked at Dorjee
- admiration in her smile. "C'mon Dorjee? What about you? ...
Wait, am I interuppting something?" Tobi asked, raising an
eyebrow at Dorjee and Jason.

Fire Lord

Jason gave a smile and waved his hands defensivly.

"No not at all Tobi, we were just talking."

As if trying to escape her questioning, Jason turned to nod to
Thomas.

"Thomas, good to see you again."



TokoToTheEnd

Alice gave Tobi a look.

"You know I suck at magic tricks. I much rather sing. What
about you.."

"Faith. My name is Faith." She smiled.

"Faith, what are you going to do?"

"I think I'm going to dance. I'm an excellent dnacer or maybe
act out a scene from a play."

Alice smiled inwardly. Faith seemed nice. 'Too bad she's not
one of us.'



iamkatara

(((TOKO!!! You haven't been on in a while, or else i jsut
wasn't on when you were on, but HEY!!!)))

Rachel saw that they didn't really want her there so she went
back at the table she was sitting at before. "Hey. Are you
guys still talking about the talent show?" She didn't want to
tell them she has done them before.



TokoToTheEnd

(iamkatara!!! Kwii~ Well actually it seems like the past too
days no one was really on when I was, so..........yeah.....)

Faith nodded.

"Yeah we are? Are you going to sign up?"

Peace scoffed as she watched her sister talk to those losers.

'I don't know why she does that. I feel like we barely know
eachother anymore.'

Alice looked at Rachel and then at everyone else.

"This table is getting crowded."



iamkatara

Rachel nodded. "I jsut hope i'm good enough." SHe smiled at
Alice. "That's ok. I'm getting up anyway. I need some air."
She didn't know if she meant to be mean, but she didn't feel
comfortable around people who didn't like her. She ran out of
the doors quickly.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice was going to say "come back" but she didn't. It would be
pointless and then she would have to explain.

"Sorry," she muttered softly.

Faith on the other hand decided to follow her. She smiled at
the people at the table and left.

"Hey wait up!"



iamkatara

Rachel turned and looked at the girl. "Hey. Sorry about that.
I just..." She bowed her head. "I don't know. I'm just
different. Always..."

_________________________________________

(((Time for the entry of my other character!!! I need to
change her pci too. The other was deleted.

)))

Jenna walked into the cafateria followed by her usual
entourage. She smiled fakil at everyone and then cut the line
to get her food. "Excuse me, school royalty here..." She
grabbed a salad and a soda and sat down at a table, shooing
away all other people there. She looked around and saw Rachel
and Faith. "Aww. Are two bestest friends trying to talk? How
cute." She pouted her lips like you would to a baby. SHe
walked over to them. "If you two ever get in my way, watch
out."

__________________________

Rachel was a little taken aback by her comment and didn't say
anything.



TokoToTheEnd

(Yeah the picture thing was my fault. I was cleaning out my
photobucket thing and I didn't know that deleting pictures
there would effect them elsewhere.)

Faith looked at Jenna and didn't move.

"It's ok Rachel. I understand in a way."
--------------
Peace saw Jenna talking to her sister and some girl and
decided to see what was going on.

"Why isn't it Jenna? I see you still are here." She had a fake
sweetness to her voice.



iamkatara

Jenna smiled at Peace. "Of course I am. the school would fall
if I... and my fathers money, weren't here." She gave Peace a
lookover. "You haven't changed, have you?"

__________________________________________

Rachel found her courage and stepped up to Jenna. "Back off.
You have no idea who you're messing with."

_______________

Jenna smiled at Rachel. "Whatever. I'm going to beat all of
you in the talent show this year. Get your tissues out. You'll
be needing them." She sauntered back to her table.

________________

Rachel stepped up to confront her but held herself back.
"We'll se about that!" SHe turned to Faith. "Let's go outside.
I can't be in here with her in here."



manysidestome

Raqueal sighed, now it was too noisy. He got up and left the
cafeteria, throwing his half eaten salad away. Why was it that
everyone always felt the need to be loud?

Fuegar was deep in the forest now, in his demon form. He let
out a low screech and climbed to a sturdy branch. He folded
his wings, gripped with his claws, and hung from it upside
down. He closed his eyes and planned to take a nap like a bat.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice walked to confrontation and sighed.

"I don't know why they let people like that here."
------------------
Faith nodded and walked out the door. She gave a small smile
to her twin, but Peace refused to give it back, which confused
Faith.

"I think Peace is mad at me," she said. "I don't know why."
-------------------
Peace walked over to Jenna's table.

"Hey listen her Queen Bee, you can insult anyone you want to,
but my sister is off limits. Got that?"

iamkatara

Jenna swiped her hair and looked at Peace. "Listen freak. I
can do whatever the h*** I want. this is my daddy's school, no
matter what anyone says. She got up and looked Peace dtraight
in the eyes. "Back off... or i'll make you back off."

___________________________________________

Rachel went outside and looked into the sun, her eyes shining
a little. "I love being out here. It's so beutiful..."



TokoToTheEnd

Faith smiled.

"So...um...your name is Rachel right?" Faith felt awkward. She
hoped that Rachel wouldn't end up being mean.
-------------
Peace almost took a swing at Jenna, but instead she pulled her
mouth into a smile.

"I just hope that you won't regret being all snotty. Karma
always comes back to bite you in the ***."

Peace walked off and sat at another table.



iamkatara

Jenna scoffed at her and turned around. No need to get into a
confrontation right now. She was having too much fun.

_______________________________

Rachel nodded and smiled. "Yeah. and you're faith I think,
right? She ran over to the lake and sat down at the waters
rolling edge. "I'm sorry if I sound weird. I'm not really the
couragous type. only sometimes." She turned to Faith. "I'm
kinda worried about doing the Talent Show. It's not that I'm
scared of doing it, I'm scared of what Jenna will do to win."



TokoToTheEnd

Faith sat down next to her and nodded.

"Yeah, it's Faith," she said. "I'm sure you'll be fine. It's
me that should be worried. I'm not one to do anything like the
talent show. It just that I promised Peace I would. She's my
twin sister."

Faith looked down.
--------------
Peace eat quietly and wonder what was wrong with her. Why
didn't she return her sister's smile. Was she jealous?



iamkatara

Rachel nodded and pushed the thought away. She smiled. "Can
you keep a secret? Like really keep it, and not tell anyone?"



TokoToTheEnd

"Sure I can. I'm an expert at that." As Faith talked her mind
wonder back to Fuegar. She wonder where he was and why he was
like that. She was mad at herself for taking the diary. She
had no right and he had no right to take it from her and not
give it back.



iamkatara

"I'm not scared about the talent show at all. I'm don't have
stagefright, and I am not worrying about my competition. I've
been singing my whole life. Playing guitar too. I almost had a
record contract until I backed out. I just never told anyone.
I should have, I just didn't want to alienate myself more than
I had.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith nodded.

"Well I'm afriad because of Peace. Everything we done, she
always seemed to be better at. Yeah I was smarter and kinder,
but she was always more popular. More important. I love her,
it's just that I'm tired of being upstaged."



iamkatara

Rachel was suprised. Faith was so nice, and yet she thinks her
sister is better. "I don't know where you got that from. She
doens't seem very personable, and you are really nice from
what i know. You're cool..." She looked around. "and thanks
for coming outside with me. That was really nice." Her skin
shone, with little sparkles of gold eminating from her. She
dodn't really notice it until now, and her eyes started
glowing.




manysidestome

Raqueal sat down by the lake's shore, and took off his shoes.
He put his feet in the water and sighed. It was quiet out here
while others ate. He made fire come from his feet and the
water beneath him started to boil. The fish had mostly died
and none would be brave enough to journey to close to the
water's top again for awhile. He didn't want anyone else to
see though, what he got sent to the school for was not for
other people to see.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith shook her head.

"I know, but Peace is more open, outgoing, where I'm just her
younger nerves twin sister, Faith Ackley the bookworm. The
nerd."

She saw Rachel's skin and eyes, but didn't say anything.

"Your welcome. I just don't like seeing people alone and
unhappy."



iamkatara

Rachel got up. "Would you like to go for a swim?" She took off
her shoes and socks, ready to jump in at her word.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith stood and looked at her clothes, but nodded.

"Ok."



iamkatara

Rachel smiled and jumped into the lake. She felt a cold rush
of water pass her. The lake was freezing. She smiled and
surfaced for air, her golden hair extremly wet, shining in the
sun. She was fullfledged golden now. "I don't think we can
stay in here for long. We would get frostbite!"



TokoToTheEnd

Faith jumped in, near her. Surfacing, Faith shivered.

"That's for sure."



manysidestome

Raqueal felt the water around him warm up quickly. It was cold
at first, now it was bareable. Soon though, it might be
searing hot if he increased the fire flow. He had to maintain
a level, otherwise his feet would be boiled, and he couldn't
walk. He saw a ways off two girls had jumped in the water.



iamkatara

Rachel laughed and went onto her back, floating. She closed
her eyes, almsot comfortable in the freezing water. It was
like it wasn't even touching her. She looked at Faith. "Are
you still cold in here? I don't feel the cold at all." She saw
Raqueal in the distance, but if he didn't want to talk to
anyone, that was fine with her.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith looked at Rachel oddly.

"Yeah I'm freezing. Are you ok?"



iamkatara

Rachel nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. But mabye I should get out. I
don't want anything to go wrong." She swam out of the lake and
tried to dry out in the sun. With the water reflecting off her
skin, she was really shining.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith pulled herself out too and grinned.

"Are you one of them?"

Plaguewalker

Dorjee looked over at Tobi. "Your not interupting a thing." He
said quickly, before returning to his meal. "And I'm not
exactly the talent show type...Do you really need me?" He
wished that she didn't. Even if it meant that he would get
some alone time with her, he wasn't willing to go up on that
stage.



iamkatara

Rachel widened her eyes but didn't let her know it. "I don't
know. Who you're talking about? Like is it a clique or
something?" Rachel knew exactly what she was talking about,
but wasnt about to open her secret, and the secret of others
up to the public.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith shook.

"I mean an Unwanted. Your different. I....I read a diary of an
Unwanted earlier. I would tell anyone if you are. I actually
envy them."



iamkatara

Rachel grabbed Faith and sat by the lake. "Don't tell anyone.
Please. I met a couple of them, and I won't tell you who they
are. I'm different, adn so are they. Please don't tell anyone
I told you." She had a sense of fear in her voice. If it got
out, she would be in a bad position.



TokoToTheEnd

"I won't tell anyone. I told you, I'm an expert at not telling
secrets." Faith smiled.



Fire Lord

"She's an Unwanted," whispered the boy.

The boy hid behind a large boulder near Faith and Rachel. He
listened intently on their conversation, and his eyes widened
when he heard Rachel speak.

"That guy who told me to follow them was right. I should tell
him that. Why he wanted to know if that girl confessed her
secret to someone is beyond me."

The boy hurried away, keeping hidden and unoticed in the
shadows.



iamkatara

(((FL, I love how your characters were always evil. It's
amazing! haha )))


Rachel smiled. "Thanks. It's nice to know I can have someone
to talk to now." She got up. "I think I'm going to get
changed. I'll talk to you later."

SHe got up and looked back, seeing a kid run away from them.
"WAIT!! She srinted catching up to the kid. "Who are you?"



Fire Lord

The boy looked up at Rachel in surprise.

"I'm exercising lady. Chill, and leave me alone before I get a
teacher."

The boy's eyes narrowed at her and he pushed past her.

"Psycho," he said, heading inside the school and dissapearing.



manysidestome

Raqueal watched the scene unfold, and shrugged. "Don't know
don't care, neither friend nor foe, live my life that way
until I find a friend," he muttered to himself. He pulled his
feet out of the water and found them dry, the fire drying them
before going out. He put on his shoes, and lay down on the
grass, staring at the ground.



iamkatara

Rachel saw the boy go off, suspicious of his doings. She saw
Raqueal over near the lake and walked over to him. "How did
you like your swim? I didn't see you here when I was in."



manysidestome

"Didn't swim," Raqeal said. "Just rested on the side." He
didn't really want to talk, but saying so wasn't in his
nature. He began to wonder how he would act around another
elf. Surely not this way, but then what other way could he do
so?



iamkatara

"Oh. ok." She smiled. Rachel pulled off her hat, revealing her
pointed ears. She let her hair fall down to ehr back and
rested against the nearest tree. "You really love nature,
don't you. I don't blame you, you just don't spent time with
any other people."



Casey Jewels

Quote :

Jason gave a smile and waved his hands defensivly.

"No not at all Tobi, we were just talking."

As if trying to escape her questioning, Jason turned to nod to
Thomas.

"Thomas, good to see you again."

Thomas started as he realized that Jason was talking to him,
but instead of answering back, he just turned away. He noticed
me... Nobody ever notices me when I don't want to be
noticed... Not unless they're specifically looking for me, and
even then, they can't always... He forced himself to take a
deep breath to calm himself. He's different from everyone
else, but not different like us Unwanted are. He's a Hater, I
know he is. But how do I prove it to the others when they all
seem to adore him?

(Sorry I haven't been on much lately, parents blocked ASN on
my laptop and... yeah...)



Fire Lord

Jason didn't flinch, merely smiled at Thomas as he turned
away.

"Having a bad day? I get it, I'll leave you alone."

"I have already executed a way for the Haters to know the
identity of one of the senior Unwanted without giving away my
own. It's only a matter of time before I get them all."

"Come, sit down Thomas. Relax a bit, you look stressed and
that's not healthy you know."



Casey Jewels

First he's going to leave me alone, now he's inviting me over.
Thomas let out a sigh and climbed to his feet. He slowly
walked over to Jason and sat down. "I am relaxed," he said and
stared down at the table. Why is he acting like he cares about
me? He's only acting friendly to the... Thomas bit his lip,
barely stopping a curse from coming out. He knows what I am.
That's the only explanation. Unless he still only suspects.
Yes, that could be it. He only suspects what I am, so he acts
friendly to me so that he can learn more about me. Yeah,
that's it... No need to jump the gun.

Here's pages 21-25. And after keeping track of the time when doing this, I've discovered that the entire process of reformating pages takes about an hour and a half per five pages.




Fire Lord

"Thomas," thought Jason, "another problem."

He watched Thomas bite his lip and fidget slightly.

"I almost forgot that not all of the Unwanted are aware that I
know who they are. I've never gone to their meetings before,
and I usually only talk to Alice when I give them information.
Still, Thomas might not necessarily be an Unwanted. He's
careful about giving out information, or at least he tries to
be. But he's nervous, he doesn't know how much I know nor who
I am. I can use that to my advantage."

"So, what do you guys thing about those attacks on those
Unwanted?" he asked to no one in paticular, keeping Thomas in
the corner of his eye.



Casey Jewels

Thomas shrugged and continued to stare at the table. He could
feel Jason watching him, which just made him even more
nervous. What's he trying to do? What can he gain from this?
"They're kind of scary," he said. "I mean, if students are
willing to attack other students just because they're
different from normal humans, whose to say that they won't
attack... just anyone?" He glanced up at Jason. "What's to
keep you and me from being hurt? What happens when there's no
Unwanted left? Who's to be attacked after that?"



Fire Lord

"That's why they have to be stopped," said Jason.

"If the Haters truely are the ones responsible, and this
Scarecrow that seems to be connected to them, they need to be
stopped. The Unwanted could be the only hope to prevent people
like you and me from being attacked out of the blue. That's
why we need to help them in anyway we can."



TokoToTheEnd

Faith sat there, her mind going back to Fuegar(who's name I
swaer I am misspelling.) She wonder if he would burn the
diary....and what he thought about her. She couldn't help, but
wonder.

"Hey thinking about your lover," a fimilar voice says.

"Peace don't."

Peace sat next to her and smiled.

"Listen I want you to sing in the Talent show."

"Why? Aren't you?"

Peace shook her head. "I want you to take my place. To wipe
the floor with Jenna for me. Please."

Faith looked at the lake and sighed.

"Ok."

(I'm actually writing a song for Faith.)



Casey Jewels

Hmph. You're not the one that needs protecting. I'm pretty
sure of that much. Thomas drummed his fingers on the table and
glanced about him. He then leaned closer to Jason and
whispered, "How are we supposed to find the Unwanted? And, if
we do find them, how are we supposed to get them to trust us
enough to listen to what we have to say?" Spill it, kid. What
are your plans?

(Sounds cool. And I have to go in five)



TokoToTheEnd

(Wait what's going on with the Unwanted? I need to know what
to do with Alice.)



Georgie

(I think we're at the table still, unless Alice left. And I
think Jason just asked what we think of the attacks and such.
But that's my guess...xD)



TokoToTheEnd

(Ah. Ok!)

Alice thought about it and then looked at the others.

"If they attack us then they are clearly declaring war. I say
we attack them back. I won't sit around anymore. It's time to
take action."



Casey Jewels

(Jason and Thomas are talking about the attacks and how normal
people need to help the Unwanted if these attacks are to stop.
They're both pretending to be something their not while
talking, since Jason is trying to learn more about Thomas, and
Thomas is pretending that he's not an Unwanted, but wants to
help them in order to protect himself.

Gotta go. Bye!)


Fire Lord

"I'm afraid I don't trust you Thomas," whispered Jason, his
eyes studying Thomas.

"For all I know, you're asking me to tell you about how to
find the Unwanted because you're a Hater."

Jason shook his head.

"Sorry Thomas, but I'm not going to take the chance of
betraying my friends if you are a Hater."

Jason leaned back and nodded to Alice.

"I agree, the Haters need to be stopped for they hurt other
people, not just the Unwanted."

Georgie

Tobi nodded in agreement, her heart beating fiercely now.
Jason is just so... Amazing. So kind, and generous and just...
She stopped herself there and ignored the blush that attempted
to creep into her already flushed cheeks.

"But how do we stop them? As a student body, we should be
working together... But, there are some that are... Reluctant
to work with others here, if you get my meaning... I'd do
anything to stop these Haters... Many of us - the school I
mean - are living in fear." Tobi added her part, looking at
Alice with a sad smile.


TokoToTheEnd

Alice eyes smiled.

"We need to work in secret. Find people who support us. Those
who want the haters stopped. Then we find out who they are. We
only need to find one for right now. That way we can threat
them, sabotage them, of course secretly, until the Haters
revealed themselves. From their, I'm not so such, but for not
we should focus on finding others who are on our side."


manysidestome

"Nature is a lot better than humanity. Nature is just there,
humanity destroys it," Raqueal answered. He felt nothing
really for saying these things, he really wasn't human, he was
another sentient being. Humans were below him, he only saw
them destroy, never anything else. When he tried to destory
what they grew, he got sent here. He played it off as an
accident but it didn't help much.


Georgie

Tobi smiled, she admired Alice so very much. She was
incredibly strong, a brilliant leader. She had known Alice for
a long time. She liked to think they were good friends and
Tobi knew she'd do anything for Alice.

"Sounds good to me Al, we do need more people on our side. But
how can we get them? It's hard enough to know one another, let
alone Haters from neteruals."


TokoToTheEnd

Alice looked around the caferteria.

"Well we can't put out a message that the Unwanted are looking
for supporters. People lie. But if we choose some people,
follow them around, spy and snoop, I'm sure something could
turn up."

She looked at Tobi.

"What do you think about it?" Alice value Tobi's opinion. She
was one of her best friends. And she was smart too.



Georgie

Tobi nodded again, resting her chin in her hand as she propped
her elbow upon the table - glancing around too. "Hmm... That
sounds good actually. Obviously, we cannot come right out and
spill it - so, I think, doing a bit of 'spy work' is our best
attempt."

Tobi smiled in her hand, "but we'd have to pick the ones we
choose to follow carefully. Gods only know, they may be Haters
following us or something... But, hey. We're totally smarter
then they are!" Tobi grinned, looking at the rest of the
tables and her friends.


TokoToTheEnd

(Need to go! Ciao!)

Faith thought about what her sister said and she walked into
the cafertia.

"Hey...um....." she was at the Unwanted table. "Do you know
where I can find Fuegar?"

Alice shook her head.

"No."


iamkatara

(((Raqueal should notice that Rachel's an elf.)))

Rachel nodded. "Oh. I guess your right. With everything that
humans do to the earth, it should be damning us to hell. We've
treated it so badly that we're hurting ourselves in the
process." She finally kind of understood what Raqueal was
saying.



manysidestome

OOC: She's an elf?

IC: "Yeah you have. It used to be so peaceful and harmonious
before humans got in the way of theat," Raqueal said. He
looked to her head and saw her ears, pointed. He didn't get
his hopes up for another elf, but he though it was a promising
sign. She referred to herself as human, maybe she was one,
just mutated somehow. "Nice ears," he commented.

(((Yeah. Her father(king) wanted a boy, so she got dropped off
on some hill and her foster family took her in. She doesn't
know though. Mabye he could recognise her somehow. idn.)))

Rachel instinctivly put her hand to her ear and smiled.
"Thanks. I have no idea how I got them. I've had them since I
was a child and jsut grew up with them. My skin too, and my
eyes. I'm just your average weirdo."


Casey Jewels

Thomas smacked himself in the middle of the forehead. Does
anyone here know the meaning of inconspicious? Let's just talk
about how us Unwanted need help in the middle of a crowded
cafeteria. The Haters sure aren't ever going to figure out who
we are if we do that! "Keep it down," he hissed at the others.
Then he turned back to face Jason. "For all I know, you keep
hanging out with the Unwanted because you're a Hater." There
was venom in his voice as he spoke, a venom he had never show
to anyone else in his life. But he had never hated someone so
much in his life, either.


Georgie

Tobi looked at Thomas and frowned - "Oh Thomas, no-one is
listening to us, even if they are, we aren't giving away
enough information for it to be incriminating. For all they
know, we could be talking about a club or something. And
besides, we aren't screaming out to the world." Tobi reasoned
calmly.

She saw Thomas turn to Jason and hissed angrily at him. Tobi's
frown deepened. "Are you accusing Jason of being a Hater? How
can you even say that Thomas? He has been nothing but helpful
to us!" Tobi's voice has hushed, but it was forceful now.
Forceful and annoyed.


manysidestome

"You kind of are," Raqueal said, taking his hat off, exposing
his ears. "Seems we're two of a kind." He put his hat back on
and stood up. He wondered if she knew the elven language. The
magic in his blood allowed him to know it without ever hearing
it before, and he could speak it, but if she wasn't an elf, it
would sound just as weird as any other language.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee stayed silent, watching them argue. He sighed, and
turned away. His eyes wandered upwards, and soon found the sun
outside a nearby window. A strange feeling set in on the
Unwanted's skin, as he stared at the bright orb. Then he
remembered. His face cover. He had pulled it down to eat and
now...Dorjee's jaw had shifted and changed, it's once pale
skin now an eerie shade of grey. Large fangs sat free of his
mouth, gleaming darkly in the sun light.

Dorjee rose quickly, and pulled the wraps back over his jaw.
The Unwanted turned on his heel and left the cafetria, trying
his best to muffle the dark voice controling his mouth. It
called for slaughter, blood, and all vile things. Of death,
rot, and decay.


Casey Jewels

(Will be slow in posting)

Thomas clamped his mouth shut and stared back down at the
table. He really didn't need this right now. "Look," he said
to Tobi. "I'm not accusing him of anything. I'm just
saying..." He drifted off, knowing that it was useless.
"Just... forget I said anything." Has he really fooled them
that well? For them to defend him like that?



iamkatara

(((Back on for about 20 min.)))

Rachel laughed and looked at Raqueal. "Thanks fro the
self-confidence booster." She smiled and looked out into the
lake. She smiled. It really was peaceful out here.


Georgie

Tobi scowl softened as she looked at Thomas - "Thomas, I-"
Tobi began, but she was stopped as Dorjee hurried from the
cafeteria. Her brow crumpled in wonder, and she bit down on
her lip before she got up, ready to follow him. "Sorry guys,
um, I'll catch up with you later..." Tobi said quickly,
glancing at the tables' contenders and smiling hastily before
she rushed from the lunchroom and followed Dorjee.

"Dorjee! Hey, wait up..." She called at him, hurrying past a
group of boys that grinned in her direction. She ignored them,
and hurried on. "Dorjee!"

Fire Lord

"You're saying that because I act kind to you, that because I
help you, that I must be Hater," spat Jason, his face meeting
Thomas' anger.

"You don't trust me because I act kind and help you! That
makes no sense at all Thomas. So should I be spiteful towards
you? Should I act cruel and attack you?! Will that make you
trust me?"

Jason glared at Thomas.

"Honestly Thomas, I'm disturbed by your logic, I really am.
You don't have to be my friend if you don't chose to be. I'm
helping the Unwanted because I want to, not to gain your trust
or friendship."

Jason's anger vanished and looked at Thomas.

"You're my friend Thomas...even if I'm not yours."


Plaguewalker

Dorjee heard her voice, and his eyes widdened. He couldn't
reply, not with the creature controling his mouth. He stopped
moving, keeping one hand clamped over his mouth. Need to get
back to my room, and seal it back inside.... He thought,
hoping Tobi didn't judge him for this.


Casey Jewels

Thomas groaned and banged his head on the table. "No, that's
not what I'm saying," he said. "It's just..." It feels so fake
to me. But how am I going to explain that one to everyone
else? He lifted his head back up and returned Jason's glare.
"You were the one that said that I was a Hater first," he
muttered.


Fire Lord

"True," said Jason.

"But I said that because of your suspicious questions, not
because you act kind towards people."

Jason kept his stare with Thomas.

"When have I asked anything specific about the Unwanted? All
I've tried to do is make conversation and act kind towards
you. That's all."


Georgie

Tobi frowned and broke into a run and moved across to him,
noticing his mouth was pressed against his face. "Dorjee...?
Are you alright...?" Tobi asked slowly, moving closer to him
at a softer pace. She wasn't scared, but she was curious and
worried that he wasn't alright.


Plaguewalker

Dorjee shook his head, keeping his hand in place. Let me
speak... No. You will not speak your vile curses at Tobi. I
will not alow it. The infernal demon was inside his head now,
trying desprately to gain control. His mouth continued to
rant, despite the lack of listeners.


Casey Jewels

"You..." Thomas climbed to his feet and turned away. "That's
just it," he said to Jason. "You act kind towards the Unwanted
or anyone you suspect to be one. But I don't feel like you
truly care. You're just trying to figure out who they all
are." He knew that he had probably said too much, but he
didn't care. He was tired of hiding how he felt. He was tired
of acting friendly to Jason when he just didn't trust the boy.
And he was especially tired of acting like something he
wasn't. So, without another word, he headed towards the door.
They'll see. They'll all see. Soon. He can't keep up this act
forever.


Georgie

Tobi scowled as Dorjee shook his head and she took another
step closer. "Dorjee... I know you're an Unwanted, so I know
that means you have a secret... I have one too... But, you
look upset and I want to help..." Tobi said softly, looking
Dorjee in the eyes - her bottle-green orbs looking into his.


manysidestome

Fuegar yawned and unfolded his arms and wings. He stretched
and then jumped to the ground. "Nice nap, I can see why bats
sleep like that," he commented. He felt the urge to screech
and scratch his claws against a tree but supressed it, he
couldn't risk it. He wanted to find Thomas now, it was nice to
see not everyone was taken in by Jason. He transformed back
into his human form and walked toward the school, hoping to
find him soon.

"If you feel more secure from someone else with your ears than
fine, but I didn't do it because of that," Raqueal said. He
thought for a moment, then added, "can you understand these
words," in the elven language he had somehow known all his
life.



Fire Lord

"I act kind to everyone Thomas," he said, watching him leave.

He turned to look back at Alice and the others.

"I'm sorry about that. I'll keep my eyes and ears open Alice.
In the meantime, I suggest you guys don't go anywhere alone
just to be safe."

He stood up, waving goodbye before walking off.

"It seems I'll have to put my plan into action tonight when
they're heading towards their meeting. The Unwanted desire a
traitor, with Rachel's and Faith's help, I'll give them one
along with securing my innosense."



Plaguewalker

She was playing the eye card on him. The Unwanted tried his
best to resist her, but he was powerless againest her
beautiful eyes. With a deep sigh, he pulled his hand away from
his mouth, and the wraps fell down to reveal the demon mouth.
"Kill...Murder...Slaughter..." The dark lips spilled forth
horriable words, as Dorjee's gaze fell to the floor.



Casey Jewels

Hah! Thomas thought as he stormed out of the cafeteria. Only
when others are watching. But... everybody's on his side...
What if... he decides to get me out of the way? Even if he's
not actually a Hater, he's sure to... He shook his head. Stop
it. You're only making things worse. Besides, attacking me
would only prove that he's not with the Unwanted, wouldn't it?


Georgie

Tobi felt a shocked gasp shoot up into her throat, but she
swallowed it and blinked at him - trying not to stare at his
face. She felt a small smile reach her lips shakily as she
shook her head and ignored the words that the lips spat at
her. "Dorjee, you don't need to be ashamed or hide this from
me. You are my friend and I like you for who you are, no
matter what extras you might have."

Tobi giggled, and put a hand on his softly. "I have my secrets
too, and I'd show you now, but, erm, mine requires different
circumstances. Do you need help at all though?" Tobi smile
widened and she was no longer scared.


Plaguewalker

Dorjee looked over at her, his eyes a little wide in suprise.
He was glad the top half of his face was covered, so it hid
the rest of his face easily. The Unwanted was glad that his
demon skin wouldn't show any hint of blush, as he felt one
rise to his face. He gave a slow shake of his head, before a
dark chuckle came from the demon's lips. "Oooooo! We can tell
that someone here is happy! Tell you what kid, let us take
over, and we'll take her for you!" Dorjee's eyes widdened, and
he cupped both his hands over his posessed mouth, silencing
it.

manysidestome

Fuegar felt the cold wind blow against his skin, but he didn't
shiver. His inner fire kept him warm constantly, to the point
that sometimes he nearly burned paper by touching it. It
couldn't be helped, but he couldn't write anything in summer,
he would burn the paper. "Where's Thomas, I wish to speak with
him about Jason, something must be done," he said.


Georgie

Tobi was startled a moment, before regaining her composure and
smiling. "What is your... Maybe this isn't the best time? Do
you have any way of countering this? Or is it something you
have to ride out until it passes?" Tobi asked, not being able
to help but gaze at Dorjee's face in curiousity. "Do you need
me to help at all?" Tobi asked as she turned to check for
others' that may be watching rudely.

She saw Thomas storming off and she frowned. He had been so
rude about Jason... You only defended him 'cause you loooooove
him... Her mind teased and she shook the thought away. Dorjee
was the one she was focused on at this moment.


Plaguewalker

Dorjee nodded, slowly starting to back towards his room. His
hands stayed cupped over his mouth, keeping it from spilling
anything else. Just a bit further, and then I lock you back
inside. He thought, as he slowly drew closer to his door.


Georgie

Tobi smiled and followed him as he walked slowly to his room,
watching as he held his hand steadfast to his jaw and chin.
She hurried past him as he reached his rooms' door and opened
it for him, so that he needn't remove his hand, in case anyone
saw. She smiled at him, reassuringly as she held it open.


Plaguewalker

Dorjee nodded in thanks, before entering his pitch black room.
He walked calmly to one-side, and steped into a small red
circle on the floor. A bright red flash filled the room,
bursting out the door into the hallway. When it faded, Dorjee
lowered his hands from his mouth and sighed. "Glad that's
over..."


Casey Jewels

Thomas slipped outside and let out a frustrated sigh. He then
turned and slammed his fist into the wall. He then slammed his
head into the wall as well. "I lost it," he whispered. "I
ruined everything." He banged his head into the wall again. I
can't believe I lost my temper like that. Now Jason knows that
I'm onto him. Now he'll be watching me even closer than
before. And... His eyes watered as he thought of Tobi's
reaction. The other Unwanted, they trust him more than they
trust me...

iamkatara

(((What does he say?)))

She smiled. "I think Ido. Can you say it again? It's like a
long forgotten language I've known but forgot." She listened
to him.


manysidestome

"Apparently, you know it enough to recognize a few words,"
Raqueal said in the language. "I suppose you don't know what
this means, do you?" He had to keep the excitement out of his
voice, he felt somehow he was wrong about this, she obviously
wasn't familiar with elves. There was always the chance she
had just forgotten the language after she learned it.


iamkatara

Rachel smiled. "I guess I do." She gasped and realized she
just understood him. She smiled, speaking back to him in elve
tongue, "It's like a long lost memory. I can see flashes of it
sometimes, and I didn't understand it until now." She laughed
and hugged Raqueal. Realizing what she was doing, she jumped
back. She spoke in the elven tongue again, "Sorry."


manysidestome

"Yeah, I suppose you would remember it. There's a good chance
you're like me," Raqueal said in english. "An elf," he added
in the elven one. He didn't want to say she absolutely was
one, there was still a slight chance it wasn't true.


iamkatara

(((Whoo for flashbacks!! She finally remembers her past!)))


When he said "an elf" Rachel smiled. Suddenly, she fell
fainted. Her mind was racing and her eyes were fluttering. She
saw something in the distance.

Kiara smiled. "Look, love. It's a girl! We have an heir to the
kingdom!" She looked over at her husband. He was turned away
from the baby. "Darling?"

"Take it away," he snarled. Kiara couldn't believe it. "Take
it away," he said again.

The nurses rushed what was baby Rachel out into field. They
left her. "Goodbye Kiera."

Rachel's mind rushed. She saw herself as a child, then a teen
and her self now. She was thinking. It was her past.



manysidestome

Raqueal raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "I would have though
some skepticism would have shown, not full out fainting," he
commented. He had to decide now how to handle thise. He found
another elf, but he wasn't sure exactly if he wanted to get
closer to her now or not. It wasn't like he didn't like her,
but he was just so used to being alone, did he really want to
make such a big change? He resolved to think about it for
awhile.


iamkatara

Rachel awoke from her faint, feeling dizzy. She spoke in
ancient Elven tongue. "What happened. I... Oh my god..."


manysidestome

"Heh, you just kind of fainted," Raqueal said in english.
"Didn't expect that, most people would probably just deny the
statement, not faint on it." He chuckled and his face went
serious again. "Are you ok though?"


iamkatara

Rachel smiled. "Yeah... I had a dream while I was out..." She
thought about it. "There was a woman named Kiara talking about
a newborn girl, and there was a stern man not facing her, whho
was wearing some kind of silky forest green cloth, and he sent
the baby away. Then the maid said my name, and I had
flashbacks of my past starting with my childhood at the
orphanage..." She couldn't believe what she just saw. "It was
weird."


manysidestome

"Ok... either magic runs deeply in you, or you have an
overactive imagination," Raqeual said. "Anyway, I gotta go
now. See you around." He quickly dissappeared, back toward his
room. He had some things to ponder, and needed silence and
peace to do so, and anyplace beside his room was risky.


iamkatara

Rachel smiled, not sure if he was being sarcastic or not. She
nodded, "Bye", and watched him leave. She had so many thoughts
running through her mind. She just sat beneath the tree,
staring at the grass.

manysidestome

Questions entered Raqueal's mind once he entered his room. He
got into a meditative state and started sorting through them.
Is she an elf? Yes I believe so now. Does she know, or is she
just feigning ignorance. Indesicive, will investigate further.
Will I spend time with her, or spy? Hmm... I will try to spend
time with her, but may resort to spying. Will I merely watch
her or open up to her? Do not open up, need more information
before I open up. He sorted through these questions many times
before satisfied with their answers and smiled. Another elf,
he would have to watch her though, since she was still very
much a wild card. There was no garuntee they would like each
other, and knowing another elf was more than he hoped for.


iamkatara

Rachel, after much thinking, got up and smiled. She went over
to the lake, looking out on it. There was still some time
until night, so she could lounge around. She sat down and
admired the movement and the color of the lake. She'd never
seen it so beautiful before. She started singing to herself in
elven, "Two little princesses, dancing in a row, spinning fast
and freely, upon their little toes..."

(((I know i took the song from Tin Man. haha.)))


manysidestome

Raqueal left his room and didn't really know what to do with
himself. He needed someplace to practice his fire control, but
where could he? There was one place no one ever seemed to go,
a clearing that he had found. He never saw anyone there, so he
would go there to practice. He quickly headed there, getting
outside and jumping from branch to branch untill he reached
it.


Casey Jewels

So what else can go wrong today? Thomas asked himself as he
wandered farther from the school. No, don't think like that.
He shook his head. Think postive, or things will just keep
going wrong. Jason is a problem that I don't have any control
over right now. Just forget about him...

(Will be slow in posting)


manysidestome

Fuegar finally spotted Thomas walked over to him, slowly
though. "Greetings," he said in his always monotone voice. He
could tell that something was wrong with him, but he didn't
ask anything, it was rude to ask personal questions like that,
and he wasn't sure he wanted to know.


Casey Jewels

"Hello," Thomas said softly, without turning around. "Is there
any particular reason that you came over here? You're not one
to seek the company of others." Please don't be bringing me
another problem. I have too many to deal with as it is...


manysidestome

"Nothing major. A girl found a diary of an Unwanted eariler
and I managed to retrieve it, but not before it was read. I
neglected to mention it earlier, but for now, I thought you
should know," Fuegar said. "I think the girl who read it was
Laith Ockley or something like that, I don't really know the
names of anyone that isn't one of us." He said all this in the
lowest tone possible, keeping it quiet even for him, he wasn't
sure Thomas could hear him.


Casey Jewels

Thomas nodded, thinking. "Faith," he whispered back. "I think
that you meant Faith. But I really don't think she poses much
of a threat. It's more of her sister that I'm worried about."
And Jason, I'm worried about Jason. He glanced over at Fuegar.
"So where is this diary now?"

(Brb, have to run to the store)


manysidestome

"I'm keeping it hidden until the next gathering," Fuegar
whispered. "I don't think it's safe to let me handle it alone,
but I won't let Tobi have it back if she was bad enough to
lose it a first time." He thought for a moment and added, "I
also wanted to discuss Jason with you, since you're the only
smart one who can see through him."


Casey Jewels

(And I'm back!)

"Jason..." Thomas said with a sigh and stared at the ground.
"What do you want to discuss about him?" Did you see what
happened back there? Is that why you suddenly want to discuss
him? Or is it for some other reason?

(And now it's time for dinner, so brb)


manysidestome

"How to expose him," Fuegar said. "He's no good, we both know
it, but we can't prove it. We need to figure out how to flush
him out, catch him off guard." He was certain there was an
ulterior motive underneath him, no one liked the Unwanted that
much unless they were one.


Casey Jewels

(Back again)

He nodded in agreement. "Though..., I kind of blew it. Now he
knows that I'm onto him. And Tobi picked him over me..." He
glanced over at Fuegar. "Do you think that the others will
place him over me too, if it comes down to that?"


manysidestome

"Well, they will align themselves with you when it comes down
to it, but they won't if it's you and Jason. Their emotions
cloud their judgement, they think he's helping, and that's all
they see. You don't seem to have that problem though, but you
can't tell someone who's blind what it's like to see, they
have to see it," Fuegar said. "If he knows your onto him
though, you will never find the oppurtunity to make them see.
You would have to pour you heart out and plead to them with
extreme sincerity to at least get them to consider it, and
somehow I don't find that very likely." He thought for a
moment and said, "what we need is more people who feel the
same way. We might try Dorjee, I've noted he isn't quite that
fond of Jason either. He might be able to help us if he feels
the same way."


Casey Jewels

Dorjee... Would he or would he not? "Maybe..." He shoved his
hands into his pants pocket and looked over at the lake. "But
I don't really plan on anybody else listening... I didn't even
plan on that before our little fight. No, I'm more worried
about what he's going to do to me. I'm a threat to his power,
and now he knows it."


manysidestome

"Well you can't be alone now," Fuegar said, stating the
obvious. "Though the best thing we can do is eliminate him as
a threat now. We can't defy him in broad daylight, but at
night, if we can find him, we can strike first. We're the ones
who control the night, not the haters, and we have the
advantage." He was almost inaudible saying this, he did not
want to take the chance anyone heard this.


Casey Jewels

Thomas groaned and kicked the ground angrily. "I'm not going
to lose my freedom because of him." I refuse to... He chewed
his lip as he thought things over. "I'm not one for killing
others, but... You're right, he needs to go down. Tonight."
Before he tangles the others even deeper into his web of lies.

manysidestome

"I didn't say kill. There are worse things than death, and we
demons have certain powers to make those happen," Fuegar said.
"There's a reason we're so feared, and it's not because of our
features." He nodded and said, "tonight, let's see if we can't
get Dorjee in on it, the more help the better, and if he's
under Jason's spell, then we're enough."


Casey Jewels

"We have to be enough," he said with a nod. "But what do you
have in mind, if you don't plan on killing him?" Thomas
glanced over at the demon, looking him over. Fuegar didn't
look so scary, but Thomas knew that the demon was pretty
powerful. It was usually the more powerful ones that had
trouble controlling their powers.


Fire Lord

(Speaking of which, how long till night?)

"Hey there Jonathan, hop on," said Jason, bending down for the
smaller boy. The boy smiled and jumped onto Jason's shoulders,
who lifted him up in a laugh. Jonathan grapped safely onto
Jason's head and as they rounded an empty hallway, leaned in
to whisper so softly Jason could barely here.

"You were right...that girl Rachel is an Unwanted. She told
that girl Faith."

Jason smiled slightly.

"Then tonight will go off without a hitch. I simply need to
wait until Rachel is heading towards the meeting tonight."

Jason set Jonathan down and handed him a candy bar.

"Here's your payment Jonathan, good work!"

The smaller boy smiled in delight and took the candy, running
off down the hall.


Casey Jewels

(I'm not sure... A lot of people are still eating lunch, but
it seems as if it should be a few hours after that by now...)


manysidestome

"Relentless nightmares, he will experience them day and night,
awake or asleep, until he's driven mad by them," Fuegar said,
as emotionless as ever. "Most people don't like that method
though, even among demons it's unpopular, we'd rather just
kill. We don't want him dead though, that would lead to too
many questions."

OOC: I think TripleTE needs to get on to do that.



Casey Jewels

(Yeah, I agree)

Thomas smiled and bobbed his head up and down. "Yes, that
might work. Though... not for too long. Just long enough to
show him that we mean business. And if he still continues to
seek after the Unwanted..., then you can drive him mad." Could
they trace that power to Fuegar? I certainly hope not...



manysidestome

"I suppose if I suppress most of it he won't exactly go mad,
but I fear if I do that it will only strengthen his resolve.
He will seek us out and destroy us quickly before we know
what's happened," Fuegar said. "It's highly unlikely I could
get another shot at him after the first time too."


Casey Jewels

"No," Thomas shook his head. "He won't destroy us. He's just a
human. We're a demon and a half-dragon. We can take him."
Unless, of course, he has the other Unwanted fight for him...
He let out another sigh and then nodded once. "Alright, don't
surpress it. If we only have one shot, we need to make it
count."


manysidestome

"He's a crafty human, and one we have no evidence to kill.
Though I'm content to being a fugitive, I'm just an oddball,
most demons don't live amond humans," Fuegar said. "We can
take him, but at what cost? And if he rally's more haters,
we're done for. I don't know about you, but I'm not
invincible, even in my most powerful form I can be brought
down eventually. We don't know what we would face. So yes, his
insanity will begin tonight." He kept his voice low and
nodded. "I hope the other unwanted will see the necessity to
this."



Casey Jewels

"Don't worry, the others will... eventually. Maybe someday
they'll even consider us heroes." He laughed at the thought.
Him? A hero? He had never been considered anything close to
that before. "And I don't think that a few Haters could beat
us, at least not me. But I forget, nobody's seen what I'm
capable of at this school." He winked at Fuegar. "Don't worry
about me. I'll be fine, no matter how many we fight against."


manysidestome

"Very well, we have nothing to worry about, unless they go
after another unwanted. Then it's our fault. We may not be
vulnerable, but not everyone is that way, and we must think
for them. If they get targeted because of us, we have done
more harm than good," Fuegar said. "Unless we defeat every
last one of them before they can retaliate."


Casey Jewels

"Why does things have to be so complicated?" he said, more to
himself than Fuegar. "I know that school is supposed to have
some drama, but this... This is life or death! It's not
something that kids like us should have to worry about." He
stopped as he reached the edge of the lake and stared down
into its depths. "Why are we at war with each other...?"


manysidestome

"We're the lowest the low," Fuegar said. "This is an academy
for societies worst. If we were at a normal school, there
would not be this much drama. Life or death would be replaced
by popular or losers. This is the real world in essence,
anyone can be an enemy." He was used to it, the demon villages
had always warred with each other, and you never knew who
would be attacking you next.


Casey Jewels

"But why?" Thomas placed a bare foot into the water. The water
was cold, but not cold enough to make him withdraw his foot.
"What makes the popular popular? What makes the losers losers?
I've never understood that, and everyone has always said that
I'm a smart kid, I'm going to go far. But even then, nobody
ever treated me like I belonged... Just because I'm a
half-breed, I don't belong in either world... My brains really
mean nothing. Nobody cares." He picked up a smooth stone and
chucked it out onto the lake. It skipped five times before
sinking down into the water's depths.


manysidestome

"I don't have those answers. It only appears that conformity
is the only thing that makes you popular, but it's only to a
point. The most popular are similar to everyone else that's
popular, but they stand out more, they're more different. I
don't know why that's so, but it just is. The unwanted defy
this, and this is why we are hunted, we are the outcasts that
have formed our own group, and because of societies garbage,
they will kill us, it's how they were raised," Fuegar said.
"The world is not fair, it is harsh and to survive, you must
be harsh, or have a group."


Casey Jewels

Thomas shook his head. "No. I don't believe in that garbage.
I'll make it, and I'll do it my own way. I won't let people
like Jason hold me back." And then it came to him, what he had
to do. But he just pushed the thought away as fast as it had
come. He knew that he wasn't ready for something like that
quite yet. He hadn't grown enough. "So what's the plan?" he
asked, wanting to get away from the thoughts that this
conversation was bringing to him. "Are we just going to take
turns following him around all day? Or just hope we find him
tonight? Or...?"



manysidestome

"I'm not sure what we'll do. I suppose we'll have to track
him," Fuegar said. "It's not like we have a link to him
though, and he seems to never come out at night. Most people
do at least once."


Casey Jewels

(I have to go. Bye!)

"So we take turns?" Thomas asked. "I'm good at sneaking about,
so it shouldn't be a problem for me. What about you?" He
glanced back at Fuegar. "Can you watch him without him
catching on?"



manysidestome

"That depends on how attentive he is. I can usually be
undetecable, but as I said, he is very cunning. It may be
impossible to track him without him catching on," Fuegar said.
"I will do my best however."



Georgie

((Hmm, I think it's time to get into the night. Need to get
this RP moving, yeah!))

Tobi nodded and smiled at Dorjee, before she somehow pulled
the courage from nowhere and asked the question that had been
begging to fall from her tongue. "What... I mean, what was
that?" Tobi asked, hoping it did not sound as rude as she
thought it might. She did not mean it too, but she couldn't
think of any other way to word it.

Plaguewalker

Dorjee sighed. "The other me." He muttered, as he stepped into
the hall. His face was fully covered again, bringing with it
the comfort that Dorjee always had when his skin was covered.
"It's been with me since I was born..."


Casey Jewels

Thomas nodded. "Then we trade off. But if things get too
dangerous, I want you to pull out. It will do us no good to
track him if we just end up getting injured or..." Or killed.
But none of the Haters have gone that far... yet. "You take
first watch. I'm not sure it would be wise for me to be around
him quite yet."


TokoToTheEnd

(I'm so sorry, but due to the fact I am currently failing two
classes, I am not allowed on the computer. It was hard finding
time to sneak on and I'm truely sorry. I am going to close
this rpg until I am ungrounded and I hope you understand.
Thanks!)



Casey Jewels

(Just bumping this so that everyone sees that it's open again)


TokoToTheEnd

(Oh thanks! I didn't want to double post!)


manysidestome

"I suppose I'll have to," Fuegar said. "I'll get on it tonight
then, hopefully he won't be hard to find." He didn't know
where Jason went, so he would have to keep tabs on him before
nightfall.


TokoToTheEnd

(So what has happen, since I've been off.)


Casey Jewels

(You're welcome. And you can double post for things like that.
At least, I do.
And I'd have to scan in order to summarize it for you, but I
don't have time right now, since I'm doing homework right
now.)

Thomas nodded. "But until then... we can't let him alone with
any other Unwanted. I don't know if he'll try anything during
the day, but it's best not to take chances." He glanced back
at the cafeteria. Will our little plan work? Or is it just
going to end up getting us injured? Or worse? This better
work...



TokoToTheEnd

(I'll just take a guess on things.)

Faith sat on a hill. She was wondering if she should try and
talk to Fuegar. But then Faith shook her head, upset that she
was thinking about him again.

"Not like he ever liked me."


manysidestome

OOC: Basically, all I think happened was that Fuegar and
Thomas teamed up to expose Jason after Thomas accused him of
being bad.

IC: "Yes, it's probably best if we at least keep an eye on
what he's saying. I think he will catch on to us though before
we can do anything," Fuegar said. "Let's wait for him to come
out, then one of us can follow him, or aproach him if there is
another unwanted. I'll approach I guess."



Casey Jewels

"Yeah... It might be best if you're the one that approaches
him, should the need arise." He took a step towards the
cafeteria and then stepped back away from it. "Tonight..." he
whispered softly and his eyes narrowed. "We make everything
right."

(Can we skip to night? 'Cause there's not much left to do
right now.)


TokoToTheEnd

(Yes! it is now night!)

Alice stood by the lake, her wings fluttering, her ears
listening for sounds. Peace slept, but as for Faith, she sat
on the roof, looking at the stars. She couldn't sleep.

"Why do I keep thinking of him?"


Casey Jewels

(Yay!)

Thomas paced back and forth, unsure if it was wise to go and
seek out Fuegar yet. He knew the general area that the demon
was in, but not the exact place. Nor was he exactly sure where
Jason was at. Is it safe to go after Fuegar? But it really
isn't safe to leave him alone at night... He nodded at that
thought and hurridely, but carefully, made his way down the
hall, seeking out the demon.



Fire Lord

"My fellow Haters," called the voice. It was cold, low, and
had a rasping effect like the person was speaking through a
gas mask.

The Haters in the room looked up, each wearing the signature
red and black cloak. A hood shrouded each of the faces in
darkness. The room they were in was the main hall of the
Haters. Much like the Unwanted headquarters, it was deep
inside the school and couldn't be found unless you already
knew where it was.

"Welcome."

The voice stepped from the darkness, revealing who it belonged
to. The person wore the red and black cloak like the others,
yet instead of a hood he wore a mask. It covered his entire
head, and was made of a strange burlap substance. Its mouth
was stitched closed and small eyeholes had been torn in.

Scarecrow walked to the front of the room, turning to the
other Haters.

"We are the Haters, the true followers of justice...of peace.
It's good that I see you all here, apart from two, who I have
sent on a...special request."

Scarecrows eyes looked around at the covered faces before him.

"Shall we proceed to judgment of tonight's prisoner then?"



iamkatara

Rachel left her room and sculked down the hall. She didn't
dare go in the Unwanted hideout unless she founf someone else
to go with her. Her eyes lit up dimly and she smiled. It was
nice here when it was night. She patrolled through the halls
looking for guards. She wouldn't dare be caught by one.



Casey Jewels

"Where are you?" Thomas whispered softly as he quickened his
pace. He was quickly growing nervous, for he couldn't find any
trace of his partner. If something's happened to you, I'll
never forgive myself. But I wasn't far enough away to not hear
a cry for help... He quickened his pace again, coming close to
a dead read. Fuegar... If they did something to you...



Georgie

((Night time, eh? Sure thang! xD))

Tobi gasped, falling away from the wall she had just pressed
herself against. She doubled over, inhaling massive gulps of
air as her chest heaved. A few moments before, she had been
inches away from being caught by a shadowed figure. Tobi had
only heard the footfalls moments before they were behind her,
and thankfully the shadows played on her side and Tobi hid
within them - her curved back flattened against the cold stone
wall. The figure had strode past, and Tobi thanked a Higher
Power - until they stopped, and took a few steps back.

Tobi's eyes had widened. Her heartbeat quickened. Her skin
tightened with fear. The person stood, staring into the hall
before him, obviously listening carefully for her exsistence.
Tobi prayed to something for her safety, a thousands thoughts
tore through her mind - was this person a Hater? Was she going
to 'disappear' like many? God, would she ever see Jason again?


And then suddenly, the figure moved on, humming again as they
turned the corner.

And thus, bringing Tobi to were she was at this point in time,
bent down, gasping for air. She took a few moments, blinked
away oyxgen-deprived tears and straightened herself. She
hurried towards the backdoors a few meters from her, slid
through them and sighed as the cool nights' wind ruffled her
hair around her.

Tobi wrapped her jacket around her further, tucked her bare
legs against each other as she looked towards the Lake and
smiled at the familar sight - a girl with a beautiful pair of
wings that shifted in the breeze. Tobi sighed and walked
towards Alice, happy to see her best friend.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice turned her head and smiled at the sight of Tobi. She was
glad. One because if it had been a hater, she would be in
serious trouble and two Tobi was her best friend. Her eyes
caught sight of another girl, but she was farer off. Too far
to see clearly though it was a girl because the figure stood
on the girl's domortory's roof.
-------------
Faith sat down on the ledge and looked out into the campus. It
was really big. The sight made Faith smile.
-------------
Peace(who I forgot was a hater) slipped into the room and
looked at Scarecrows.

"I have news."



Fire Lord

Scarecrow turned to look at Peace, the other Haters in the
room turning as well.

"Speak it then," he said, his rasping voice directed at Peace.

"We must deal with our prisoner tonight and I have an
appointment to get to. What is it?"

TokoToTheEnd

Peace frowned.

"You see, one of the haters have disappeared. I went to find
them, but there was no one in their room. No where. I'm sorry
for bring bad news."


Fire Lord

Scarecrow clenched his fist in anger, letting out a yell and
striking a nearby Hater. The victim was thrown to the floor in
a heap. The other Haters backed away from Scarecrow slightly.

"Keep you eyes open. If this person has been capture or worse
yet, betrayed us, then I want them as soon as possible."

Scarecrow turned to look at them all.

"Bring forth the Unwanted."

Two Haters moved through the crowd, dragging a boy by the
arms. The boy looked beaten and tired, and gave no resistance
as the Haters threw him to the floor at Scarecrow's feet.

"I said it before," murmured the boy, "I'm not...an Unwanted."

Scarecrow kicked the boy, knocking him onto his back.

"Lying will get you no where," said Scarecrow.

"You see, there is a very simple to way to tell if someone is
Unwanted. Search for his Unwanted symbol."



TokoToTheEnd

Peace grinned as she watched the scene, though she stood far
back, so she wouldn't be in the way of her fellow haters.

"You all deverse this," she hissed at the boy. "You all do."


Casey Jewels

"Something's had to have gone wrong," Thomas muttered as he
slid to a halt next to Jason's room. Fuegar shouldn't be this
hard to find. And he was supposed to signal me when he had
Jason alone... He stared at the door for a few moments, trying
to figure out what to do next. Then he strode forward and
struck out at the door. His foot connected with the center of
the door, tearing it off of its hinges and sending it flying
into the room. Thomas hurried inside and glanced around,
searching for any sign of both Fuegar and Jason. He knew that
he had to hurry, for the noise would attract a lot of unwanted
attention.


Fire Lord

One of the Haters kicked the boy onto his back and tore his
shirt. On the center of his back was the black symbol of the
Unwanted. The Hater flipped the boy back over and left him
staring up at Scarecrow amused eyes.

"Well, well, well," he chuckled, "liar, liar."

He siezed the boy by the neck and slammed him into the wall,
holding him a foot of the ground. The smaller boy gagged and
squinted at Scarecrow who lifted his free hand.

"The Unwanted are a disease. A virus. They spread only choas
and disorder. We will return proper order and peace to this
place."

He flexed his hand a blast of black smoke came from his sleeve
and into the boy's face. Scarecrow dropped him as the boy
cried in terror, cowering in fear at his feet. Scarecrow
struck him across the face and the boy fell silent, mumbling
insanely to himself and staring off at nothing.

"I'm late," said Scarecrow, looking back at the others.

"I have an appointment to keep. Finish up with the boy and put
him on display in the cafeteria."

Scarecrow turned and walked back into the darkness.


"Well, well," said a voice.

"An Unwanted walking alone at night."

Two Haters stepped out of the darkness on either side of
Rachel. Their shrouded faces stared at the Unwanted, their
bodies covered with their cloaks.

"That is who you are, isn't it...Rachel?"



TokoToTheEnd

Peace grabbed the boy by the back of his shirt and began to
drag him out of the room.

"Shut up," she yelled as she kicked him. "You don't want
anyone to hear us because them I'll have to hurt them too."
The boy quieted down, but he still squirmed as Peace got
closer to the caferteria.


manysidestome

Fuegar sighed boredly, searching the area he lost track of
Jason. "Oh well, he was too crafty for me to handle alone.
Thomas must be wondering what's up," he said. He walked toward
where Thomas should be, thinking he would still be there.

Raqueal sat on a tree branch in the forest, staring at the
moon. He felt it held some sort of power in this world, though
he was sure it extended beyond control of the tides. He
wondered what that was though.


TokoToTheEnd

Faith got off the roof. It was a little cold up there and she
was bored. There was no way she was going to get to sleep
tonight. She moved through the emtpy halls until she reached
the outside. After deciding she had no idea where to go, Faith
began to walk. After a while she started to sing quietly.

"Oh boy, you drive me insane. Oh boy, don't you play those
games. Oh boy, I wish you were mine. Oh boy, it's only you on
my mind."

(Which reminds me. i need to finish Faith's song. it's almost
done.)


manysidestome

Fuegar looked around, but Thomas wasn't there. "He must've
either gone looking for me or got tired of waiting," he said.
"I shouldn't have taken so long, he might get into trouble.
Actually, I have no doubt he will." He sighed, and figured he
might be in his room.

The next bit is pages 26-30.




Georgie

Tobi smiled as she reached Alice's side, nudging her with her
elbow, her arms folded across her chest. "Nice night." Tobi
commented stupidly, before gazing into the glassy surface of
the lake that sheened with a milky glow from the three quarter
full moon.

Tobi sighed, that cratered orb a constant reminder of what she
was and when. "Only two more days..." She mumbled, looking at
Alice and flashing her a quick smile. "Y'know... I think
something was happening tonight... I heard voices as I left,
and someone nearly caught me... And it was no night-guard or
teacher."



Casey Jewels

Thomas quickly looked over Jason's room, but found nothing out
of the ordinary. No sign of either of them... He guility
glanced at the busted door and then at the frame. Maybe I
shouldn't have done that. I just paniced... He peeked into the
hall and, seeing no one, he picked up the broken door and put
it back into place. He backed up a little and stared at it,
knowing that just leaving it leaning against the doorframe
would do no good. Jason would instantly blame it on the
Unwanted or, more likely, Thomas. He held up a hand and his
nails grew into claws. He then quickly scratched the sign of
the Haters on the door. Then he stepped back once more to
admire his handy work. Maybe that'll confuse him.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice smiled a rare smile and Tobi nudged her, but then she
became serious once again.

"I'm worried about something too. That girl, Faith. She seemed
to have become attracted to Fuegar. I'm not so sure if it's
safe. She is human after all." Alice sighed and looked at the
moon. "Someone is trying to hurt us. The Haters. They seemed
to be getting worse. One can only imagine what the future
holds for us."



Georgie

Tobi nodded thoughtfully, chewing her lip as Alice spoke the
truth. "Well, I know that I'm not going down without a fight.
And if I know you well enough, which I'm pretty sure I do,"
Tobi grinned, "then I know you're not going anywhere fast."
Tobi's eyes were again on the lake, her reflection dancing on
the rippling glass. "...But it's the others I worry about..."

Tobi paused for a moment, flicked her nails against her palm
before she spoke, her eyes cast down. "Alice... What do you
think of J-Jason?" Tobi said softly, her voice barely a
whisper.



manysidestome

"Oh wait," Fuegar said to himself. "The diary... I need to
talk to Tobi about it." He walked to his room and retrieved
the book. He went outside and luckily, saw her and Alice at
the lake. He still hadn't decided about returning it or not.

OOC: I'm just going by the name 3TE said at the beginning,
October, which is Tobi's name.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith saw Fuegar and she stopped in her tracks. Weakly, she
called out to him.

"Hey Fuegar!" She didn't know why though. She turned red and
wonder quickly what to say if he responsed.
---------------
Alice raised an eyebrow.

"I think....that he needs to be watched. I'm not so sure I
trust him completely." Alice looked at Tobi. "Tobi, what about
Faith and Fuegar? Is it right for a human to like someone like
him? Is it safe?"



manysidestome

Hearing his name from that voice was odd. Fuegar wondered
exactly who else besides an unwanted knew his name. Then he
remembered, and he looked at the diary he was holding. "Oh
great," he mumbled, and hid the diary in his pocket. He turned
toward the sound. "What is it," he asked, not exactly used to
greetings, he just assumed she wanted something from him, and
he had never got the hang of making small talk.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith opened her mouth to talk, but she could only stutter.

"I-I was j-just.." Faith felt hot in the face and knew she was
blushing. Faith accepted that she did like Fuegar. Only
problem was would be like her? Faith doubted it. "I'm sorry,"
she muttered, just standing there like an idiot.



Georgie

Tobi heard a distant voices behind her, but thought little of
it. Many students met outside in the night to converse about
secret matters and such. Tobi then Thanked the Heavens that
the shadows fell across her face, hiding the blush that blazed
on her cheeks.

"Oh, yeah, well..." She was relieved for the change in topic
and hurried on, "I don't know about them... I mean, well, I'm
not and you're not human either... Really, so does that mean
we can't... Y'know, fall in love? However..." Tobi's voice
turned a shade darker, "I don't really know if I trust this
Fuegar completely... There is something strange about him...
Something I don't really like..." Tobi shrugged. "Who knows...
Maybe I am wrong, and maybe he is just a nice quiet guy..."



manysidestome

"...Ok...," Fuegar said, and walked toward the lake, his eyes
glowing red now in the darkness. He normally tried to supress
it, but sense it was just unwanted he was going to see, he
didn't see the need. Besides, it might help him reinforce his
point. "Tobi," he called out when he was close enough, "I need
a word with you."



TokoToTheEnd

Faith bit her lip. She had missed her chance to say something
intelligent to him. She had been a fool once again.

"Why am I such an idiot," she yelled, then blushed again for
realizing she had yelled it.

Alice pulled her wings back in at the yell and sighed as
Fuegar came closer, then she realized she could ask him about
Faith herself.

"I need to have a word with you too." Alice turned to Tobi. "I
think we can. I for one haven't but maybe I will. I mean T-I
mean someone could come along and who knows."



Georgie

Tobi gasped and whirled around as someone called out her name
from behind her. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw it was
Fuegar. Did he hear what I said about him?! Oh God... She
glanced at Alice and nodded. "I know... Hey, I'll go talk to
him for a minute, see what he wants..." She looked at Fuegar
again and nodded, waving her hand as she moved down to him and
stopped a few steps in front of him.

"Hello..." Tobi said, her sapphire eyes meeting with his ruby
ones.



manysidestome

"This is yours, isn't it," Fuegar said, taking the diary out
of his pocket. "You're the only October I know around here at
least, and that's the name on the diary." He wondered vaguely
what Alice wanted with him, he barely spoke to her since they
met.



Georgie

For the second time in that short time, Tobi's eyes widened in
horror and shock as Fuegar withdrew her diary from his pocket.
MY DIARY! HOW THE HELL DID HE- "I... I... How did- Where did
you find that?" Tobi said, trying to mask the alarm in her
tone, trying to sound as casual as one can be when another has
something dear to them.

Something dear that has details of EVERY aspect of their
lives' in it.



manysidestome

"I can see you're upset," Fuegar noted. "Not enough I should
say. Faith Ackley had it, I think she has read some of it, or
all of it, she may know you're an Unwanted." He stared into
her eyes, though since he felt nothing, she could read
nothing, only the red glow.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee glared silently at the moon. Stupid
inner-demon...saying all that to Tobi... He scolded the demon,
who was sleeping as always. His pale eyes drifted about,
before returning to the moon. Stupid demon... He dropped down
from the tree he was in, and looked about.



Georgie

Tobi stared back into those blank red eyes, searching for
truths or lies. She felt so hurt, so naked, so betrayed to
know that someone had taken and then read her personal
thoughts and memories. Memories that could wind up getting her
killed if they were spilled to the wrong person.


"Of course I'm upset! I... Everything that I am is in there!"
Tobi was starting to panic now, struggling to keep her voice
from trembling.




manysidestome

"It's unfortunate, she could have gleaned unwanted secrets. I
suggest next time keeping a tighter leash on that book,"
Fuegar said. An idea occurred to him and he added, "I
apologize if I seem uncaring, I don't feel it though. You see,
I don't feel emotions in order to keep myself in check, so I
couldn't feel anything for you unless I destroyed half the
school as well." He neglected to mention he wouldn't ever feel
bad for anyone, considering demons lacked that emotion.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee looked off towards them, hearing Tobi's voice. It
seemed...upset. Dorjee set off towards them, his feet carrying
him quickly. As he came into earshot, he called to her. "Is
something wrong Tobi?"



Georgie

Tobi's eyes had dropped now, filled with tears. "Do you really
think I'd just leave this lying around?! Someone went through
my room!" Tobi stammered, looking up at Fuegar. "Oh... Well, I
don't mind if you don't care about me... I'd just like my
diary back, thankyou." Tobi said, taking a step towards him -
ignoring the hot tears that glossed her eyes.

She looked up quickly, saw Dorjee and tried a reassuring
smile. "I... I'm ok D-Dorjee..."



manysidestome

Fuegar stared at her face, impassive, and shrugged. "I would
if I could, but I can't, so I don't," he said. "Keep this
thing safe, worse people than Faith could find it." He looked
over at Dorjee when he called out and glared, emotion coming
over him, anger. "Another... one," he muttered. He grutned and
felt anger start coursing through him. "I gotta go," he
grunted and left quickly, having to get away from the demon in
Dorjee. They caused anger in each other, which was why they
didn't live in groups after thirteen.

Plaguewalker

Dorjee watched Fuegar go, before walking up to Tobi. He
instantly saw that she was upset, and frowned. "What happened
Tobi? What did Fuegar do?" He asked, his concern showing.



Georgie

You would care even if you could Demon! Tobi watched as he
left, baffled as she turned to Dorjee and quickly wiped her
eyes with the back of her hand. "He found-" Tobi suddenly
gasped, looked down at her empty hands and ran towards Fuegar,
hand outstretched. "Can I have it back now, please?" She
asked, more bluntly then intended.



manysidestome

"Keep away from me! Just get away," Fuegar shouted, losing
control. "If you value your life you will leave me alone!" He
gripped the diary, taking all he had to keep himself under
control. "LEAVE!"



Plaguewalker

Dorjee looked at the enraged Fuegar, before growling. "Fuegar,
do not threaten her, or you'll deal with me." He threatened,
fully prepared to pull down his facial covers and let the
demon take over.



Georgie

Tobi gasped, stumbling back a little before she regained her
balance and reality and growled. "Give me my diary now!" Tobi
hissed angrily, dodging towards him to grab her diary from his
clenched hand.



manysidestome

Fuegar couldn't help himself, he transformed. He turned
darker, taller, and thinner, as well as sprouting wings. He
roared in a high pitch and glared down at Tobi. He roared
again and reached for her.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee paled for a brief moment, his eyes going wide. By
Nurgle's rot... He thought, before he shook it away. He pulled
the wrappings off his right eye, letting the moonlight bathe
the skin in it's rays. His skin grew dark, and the eyes
twisted and morped into a blood red orb full of black flecks.
He leaped forward, and put himself infront of the hand. He
grabbed the index finger and the thumb, trying to stop it from
moving.



manysidestome

Fuegar roared angrily and swiped at the demon with his other
hand. He was not in his right state of mind anymore, his demon
nature had taken over, like so many other demons, and now was
incapable of being normal until he lost energy. He had tried
to warn them, but no one ever listened, they were too hard
headed and stubborn to back off when told.



[b]Georgie

Tobi had stumbled back again, tripped over her heels and hit
the ground with a quick groan. She lay for a moment, hearing
the roars around her in the distance before she shook her
head, whipped up to her feet and stood back as the two Demons
transformed and roared. But she would not give up, she needed
her diary back.

Tobi ran at Fuegar again, her brow creased as she locked her
eyes on her diary.



Casey Jewels

"Shoot," Thomas cursed as he heard the roars. "Shoot. Shoot.
Shoot." He turned and raced down the corridors, fear lending
him speed. He knew enough about demons to understand exactly
what those roars meant. Why now? Why tonight? Jason didn't try
something on Fuegar, did he? Or is this something else...? He
threw off his orange jacket and spread out his wings. He then
angled himself for the closest window and jumped. The glass
shattered as he hit it and tiny fragments of it cut his body,
but he ignored the pain and flew up into the air. As soon as
he had gained some altitude, he turned and flew towards the
roars of the demons.



iamkatara

Rachel turned at the hooded people, acting the best she could,
and it should be convincing enough. SHe raised her eyebrow,
"What are you talking about? I hate the Unwanted. I am a
princess after all. Why would I want to convese with them?"
That lying jogger. I'll get him back, she thought.



Fire Lord

"Oh, don't play dumb," one of them said as they moved to stand
in front and behind her.

"You're "friend", Faith, told us all about you."

They chuckled low, amused laughs.

"You should really be carefull about who you tell secrets to.
We agreed to leave her alone and she told us everything we
wanted to know about you. The point is, you won't be able to
say anything about her after we get done with you."

iamkatara

Rachel smiled, playing her cards. "Are you kidding me? I hate
that girl. I told her fake stories so i could find out what
she was and who her friends were." She moved in closer to
their faces... "I'm a Hater."



Fire Lord

From her closeness to them, a wide smile could be made out
from the darkness of their hoods.

"Not according to Scarecrow you're not."

They rushed forward, one igniting some sort of strange blue
energy on his fingertips. The one that came from behind
branded a black knife.

"Move Rachel!" came a voice.

A hand grabbed onto the Hater with the blue energy, pushing
his arm into the wall. Jason kicked the hater in the side,
knocking him back several feet.

"Sorry, but I followed you. I told you guys not to travel
alone. Heads up!" he shouted, pointing to the knife wielding
Hater as he made a swipt towards Rachel.



iamkatara

Rachel bent her back backwards, narrowly missing the knife.
She didn't want to blow her cover. "Who the hell are you and
why are you speaking to me like that? Vermin!!" She pushed him
down and joined the hooded creatures. "Run, before they hurt
you just like they did the others." She looked at the hooded
creatures again. "How did the kids know my name? If I was an
Unwanted he wouldn't know it, would he?"

(((let her join them please.)))



manysidestome

Raqueal turned his direction in the direction of the roars.
"This smells like Unwanted," he muttered. He really didn't
care about them much, they didn't acknowledge him, he didn't
acknowledge them. What he was concerned about were the haters,
who seemed to be more dangerous. "I'll look into this," he
muttered again and quickly sprinted toward to noise. He
stopped when he was close enough to see and grinned slightly.
Demons, not normally something you'd expect in school.



Casey Jewels

Thomas bit his lip at the sight before him. Two demons... His
eyes locked onto the one he knew to be Fuegar. He dived down
between the two of them. "Stop this!" he shouted, though he
was sure that it wouldn't do much good. Very few demons
responded to pleas when transformed.


Georgie

Tobi gasped and whirled around to see Thomas there. "THOMAS,
MOVE!" She shouted as she dodged him and leapt at her diary in
the transformed Fuegar. She needed her diary, it meant the
world to her.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee didn't want to unlesh more of the demon, but he may not
have a choice soon. The other hand blindsided him, and sent
him crashing across the ground. Skidding to a stop, he rose to
his feet. Luckily, Fuegar hadn't done any real damage, so
Dorjee was mostly unharmed.



manysidestome

Fuegar watched as Dorjee flew across the ground, and went
after him, ignoring the other two. He roared as he stomped
closer to Dorjee. He spoke demon words in a deep voice, curses
and threats that he couldn't control. His eyes glowed even
brighter as he reached Dorjee. With one both hands he made to
slice through his body.



Fire Lord

Jason looked confused and he stared at the three of them.

"Rachel, what's-"

One of the Haters held a knife to Rachel's neck.

"Back off, now!"

Jason dropped his hands immediatly, taking a step back from
them. However, the Hater moved quickly and jabbed the knife
into Jason's stomach. His eyes grew wide as his breath left
him. He stumbled back until he finally met the wall, holding
onto the handle of the knife now sticking in his gut.

"Rachel..." he mumbled, staring up at them.

The two Haters turned to look at Rachel.

"Scarecrow told us to take you out because he was informed by
that girl Faith that you were Unwanted. However, since you're
so positive that you're not, I suppose his life is good
enough. He's been a thorn in the Hater's side for a while
anyway."

Jason slid down the wall, still holding onto the knife. His
breathing his fast and he simply stared wide eyed at one area.

"That isn't a problem is it Rachel?" asked one of the Haters.



iamkatara

Rachel didn't dare move. Not now. "Of course not. He's jsut a
stupid Unwanted. I'm stay here until the Scarecrow arrives,
back from his appointment, and he can take care of him,
finally." She smiled. " I am closer to the Scarecrow than you
think. You can trust me." She kicked Jason's leg, barely
hitting it but looking like it hurt. "Don't worry."



Casey Jewels

Thomas cursed some more as he flew after the two demons. He
grabbed a hold of Fuegar's neck from behind and, doing the
only thing he could think of, he squeezed. Calm down, both of
you, he thought desperately. Please...



Georgie

"THOMAS NO!" Tobi screamed, running after him and seizing the
back of his shirt and pulling him. "It's my fault they're like
this! Let me deal with it!" Tobi shouted, tears spilling from
her eyes now. Everything had just blown out of proportion.



Casey Jewels

Thomas irritably flapped his wings, trying to get her to let
go. "You can't," he said shortly to Tobi. "But I can. Now get
out of the way before you get yourself killed!"



manysidestome

Fuegar stopped with his attack on Dorjee and reached for
Thomas. He roared in anger, and wanted to rid himself of the
insect on his back. He shook his wings, trying to get Thomas
to let go of him.



Georgie

Tobi would remember this moment for the rest of her life, for
it was the only time she ever had this thought. It was now, as
Thomas was being shaken violently and she watched as her diary
was being held captive, she wished she were her moon-induced
self - a werewolf. She chewed on her lip again, and reached
for Thomas.

"NO! YOU CAN'T! HE'LL KILL YOU! PLEASE!" Tobi cried, looking
at Fuegar and Dorjee desperately.



Casey Jewels

Thomas hurridely tucked his wings in close to his body and
then pressed himself close to Fuegar's body. "I won't!" he
hissed softly and tightened his grip on the demon. I've got to
stop this madness before... And that's when he realized how
exposed he really was. All it would take was one little peek
and all three of them would be exposed for what they really
were. "I fought a demon once before!" he shouted back at Tobi.
"Has your perfect little Jason ever done anything like that?!"
He knew that it was a low blow, but he didn't care. He was too
frustrated and scared and angry to try to hide his feelings
back any longer. Besides, now was the perfect opportunity to
get Tobi to see the light. Jason wasn't around to counteract
everything he said.



Fire Lord

"Oh I'm afraid he'll be dead long before that," said one of
the Haters, striking Jason across the face. He grabbed onto
the knife and pulled it from its place in Jason's stomach.
Blood started to flow and Jason pressed his hand to it try and
stop it.

"That knife was made be Scarecrow, and it special to the
Haters. It increases bloodflow of whoever it stabs, causing
the victim to loose blood rapidly."

Jason coughed slightly.

"We'll watch him till he dies, then go and find Scarecrow. One
less Unwanted, one step closer to peace."

Jason fell onto his side, his eyes staring weakly at the wall
across from him.

manysidestome

Fuegar roared even louder and angrier and he stopped again,
mid motion. His chest starting glowing, and it quickly caught
fire. His whole body began to become fire and he roared
angrily and, as if he were in pain. It was agony in his fire
form, and only when his anger boiled did he ever reach it. A
nearby demon and an annoyance that wouldn't go away were
enough to do so.



Georgie

Tobi's eyes widened as Thomas spat at her about Jason and she
stumbled back a moment, her mouth opening, closing and opening
again - though no sound came out. She was stunned, how could
he even bring Jason into this at this time. Tobi felt anger
build within her now.

"What the hell is your problem?! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BRING THAT
UP?!" She shouted before moving towards them again, "SURE,
JASON MAY NOT HAVE FOUGHT A DEMON LIKE YOU, BUT HOW DOES THAT
PROVE HE IS A BAD PERSON?!"



Casey Jewels

Thomas cried out in pain and instantly released Fuegar. He
tumbled to the ground, unable to think straight enough to fly.
But then Tobi's shouts brought him back to reality. He forced
himself to his feet and stumbled back a few steps, wanting to
get away from the heat of Fuegar's flames.

"Where is he now?" Thomas asked her. "Why isn't he here with
you, defending you from danger? Why is he never to be found
when the Scarecrow is out and about?! Answer me that!" He
wrinkled his nose as the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.



manysidestome

Fuegar became fully into flame, no flesh left, it had been
replaced by fire. He roared again, painfully and angrily, and
turned back to Dorjee. He challenged him in demon words and
cursed him as well.


Casey Jewels

Thomas stared at the two demons and then he let out a sigh.
Why try to kid himself? There wasn't anything he could do
here... Not now... He took a couple steps towards the lake,
but the paused and glanced back at Tobi. He couldn't just
leave her here, even if he was upset with her.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee saw the tears from tobi, and something snapped. With
one quick motion, he pulled his robes free, exposing his skin
to the moon light. He wore some clothes beneath, but they did
not prevent the moonlight from bathing in the moon's rays. His
skin darkened, and hardened, and claws grew from his hands.
His other eye mutated to match his other, and soon, Dorjee
stood in his full demon form. "Finally."



Georgie

Tobi ran at Fuegar again, she would do anything to get her
diary now, she did not care how much he or it hurt her. That
was her life in his hand or claw. She felt the tears streaking
down her cheeks hotly, criss-crossing down her cheeks as the
wind blew around them, carrying their roars on their gusts.

She knew this was her fault and she was sorry - sorry for
Dorjee, sorry for Thomas, sorry for everything she had ever
done to anyone.



Casey Jewels

Thomas's eyes widened in shock as Tobi ran at the flaming form
of Fuegar. Oh, boy... He charged after her, but knew that he
could never reach her in time. She was faster than him when on
land, but his wings hurt too much to attempt flying quite yet.
"Stop!" he yelled at her. "You're going to get yourself
killed!"


Plaguewalker

Dorjee moved quickly, with in-human speed. He soon stood dead
square infront of Tobi, blocking her path. "Don't get yourself
killed over a book. Let me get it." His voice was corrupted as
well, dark and cold, but it ran smooth like velvet. His dark
red eyes looked up at the diary, and narrowed. "Give me five
minutes, and I'll get it back."



TokoToTheEnd

(I'm confused.)



Casey Jewels

(Alrighty. Jason had some of his Haters attack Rachel and then
he showed up to save her, thus making it appear as if he is
with the Unwanted, no matter what. Dorjee and Fuegar have
gotten into a fight and are both in their demon state right
now. Tobi and Thomas are with them. Tobi is trying to get her
journal back while Thomas originally showed up to stop the
fight, which he isn't strong enough to do.

Does that help?)



TokoToTheEnd

(Yesh! Thank you!)

Alice walked over to Faith and sat next to her. Faith stopped
crying at looked at the serious half-breed.

Peace was almost at the cafertia and she saw Faith. At first
she was shock, but then it turned to pity when she saw her
sister upset. She looked from the Unwanted and to her twin,
then, just as she was about to let the Unwanted go to comfort
Faith, she spotted Alice, an Unwanted going to do what Pace
had been planning. Peace growled and continued her job.

Alice remained silent then began to talk.

"You like him don't you?"

All Faith could do was nod.



iamkatara

Rachel watched as Jason bled, not moving. If they lost one, it
would be worth it to get into the unwanted's hideout. "Stupid
Unwanted." She went up into his face, hatred showing. "You're
lower than dirt, you know that?"


Fire Lord

Jason's eyes widened and his breathing began to quicken. The
look of fear was evident on his face.

"I...I don't want to die..." he mumbled.

One of the Haters looked up in thought.

"I have an idea to test her loyalty."

He pulled out the black knife, putting it in Rachel's hand.

"Rachel, if you are truely a Hater, you will have no problem
doing this. Prove your loyalty, and kill him."

He pushed Rachel forward. Jason didn't look at her, merely
mumbled under his breath as the blood stained his hand.

"I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."



iamkatara

Rachel couldn't believe it. She had to stab him. Kill him. She
couldn't, but she had to. If not she would die as well, and
all of the secrets of the unwanted would be revealed. She
looked back and snatched the knife. "Surely." she grabbed the
knife like a sword and went to stab him.



manysidestome

The diary had bonded now with the Unwanted symbol on Fuegar's
chest. His energy had started depleting faster, and even
though he wanted to fight, instinct took over and he ran with
blinding speed into the forest. As he did so, he set some
trees on fire, not caring as he did so. Instinct told him to
get away from the other demon until he could fight again. The
pain inflicted upon his body and his life force keeping the
flames together were enough to kill him if he took too long
with it.

Raqueal stood in shock as flames sprouted in the trees, then
it turned to his muscles tightening and a very furious look
came on him. It was one thing for them to harm each other, but
that forest was innocent, and now it was suffering. "I'm
stopping him before it's too late." He ran after the demon as
fast as the demon was going, having the wind blow the fire out
instead of spreading it.



Georgie

Tobi opened her mouth to protest at Dorjee, then closed it.
She nodded quickly, taking a step back and wrapping her arms
around herself as he watched her diary disappear into the
forest amid the flames.

She bit back more hot tears. It was not fair, everything she
knew, had once and was was written in that diary. The only
rements of her family were in there. She felt sick, she felt
alone.

Plaguewalker

Dorjee looked after Fuegar, before charging after him.
Dorjee's inner-demon relied mostly on speed, being incredabily
fast. Fuegar appeared to be a strength demon, meaning this
might be a challenge. Dorjee soon was running alongside
Fuegar, staring at the diary fused to his chest. "Get it.
Return it. No matter the cost." The demon told itself under
it's breath, before jumping up into the air at Fuegar.



Casey Jewels

Thomas let out a sigh and slowly made his way over to Tobi. He
stopped beside the girl and went to put an arm around her
shoulder, but then decided against it. Instead he shuffled
nervously from foot to foot. "You'll get your book back," he
told her softly. Fuegar's a pretty decent guy most of the
time." Unlike Jason, he added silently. "Once he calms down,
he'll give it back."



manysidestome

Raqueal zoomed in front of Fuegar and with incredible speed,
grabbed the diary off his chest, then shot him into the lake.
He landed, panting, it took more out of him than he thought,
and then he heard it. Blinding screams of rage from under the
lake. The water boiled and soon, normal human Fuegar floated
to the surface, alive but barely concious.



Georgie

Tobi turned slowly to Thomas, her eyes swimming in pearly
tears as she chewed her lip, her arms still folded across her
chest. A hazed moment later, she found herself throwing
herself at him, wrapping her arms around him. She just needed
affection, she just needed to be comforted. She cried against
his shoulder. "M-my dia-diary has ev-everything..." She
sobbed.

And then she heard screams.


Fire Lord

"That is enough," came a low, cold voice. The Haters grabbed
Rachel's arm and stopped her attack on Jason.

From the shadows of a nearby hallway stepped out another
Hater, dressed in the black and red cloak. However, he did not
wear a hood, and instead had a on the eery burlap mask. Two
amused eyes watched Rachel, while the stitched mouth remained
still.

Scarecrow waved his hand and the Haters siezed the knife from
Rachel.

"I wondered how far you'd be willing to go. I know you are
Unwanted, Rachel. However, you are either sincere on your
betrayel...or you are a very cold person. Allow me to
introduce myself. My name is Scarecrow."

(Jason's still the real Scarecrow, I didn't change anything)



Plaguewalker

Dorjee walked to the lake, his dark demon eyes examining
Fuegar. "Lucky punk." He muttered, before walking towards
Raqueal. Reaching the boy, he extended one of his dark hands.
"Give it to me now." Ordered the demon, it's eyes flashing
dangerously.



Casey Jewels

"Ah!" Thomas cried out in surprise and, losing his balance,
fell over backwards. He grunted as his bottom hit the ground
and then he lost his breath as Tobi fell on top of him. He
awkwardly patted her on the shoulder after glancing over her
to make sure that she had gotten hurt in the fall. He opened
his mouth to say something to her, but then the screams
interrupted him. Could anything else go wrong? he asked
himself.



Georgie

Tobi gasped and let out a muffled cry of surprise as she fell
on top of Thomas. Her glossy cobalt eyes widened as she looked
down at him, her body pressed against his. She had frozen as
he patted her, obviously feeling uncomfortable. She bit down
on her lip, her eyes downward now as her cheeks burned with
embarrassment. "... I... Sorry..." She mumbled.

She heard the screams fade into the winds' call now.



Casey Jewels

"It's... fine," Thomas said, fighting to keep his voice cool.
"We all sometimes lose control of our emotions," he whispered,
referring to earlier that day. He gently eased her off of him
and climbed to his feet. He then held out his hand to help her
up.

(I find it kind of funny that there was a demon of fire out
and about in the middle of the night and no one really
noticed...)



Georgie

Tobi felt her cheeks blaze further as she took his hand and
stood, rubbing her forearm awkwardly. "Thomas... I... I just
want to say sorry that I was so rude to you t-today. I
shouldn't have been. 'Specially not to a fellow Unwanted."
Tobi smiled gratefully at him, a real smile.

"Now... Do you have the same urge as me to find out what that
scream was?" Tobi said, turning towards the lake.

(Ha. You know, I thought the same thing. xD)



Casey Jewels

He nodded and started towards the lake. "I forgive you." You
were under Jason's little spell then. But he's not here now...
"Now let's go. We need to check it out quickly, then get out
of here." He tucked his wings close to his body and glanced
around for his jacket only to remember that he had dropped it
inside of the school. Crud... How am I going to get back
inside without it? I can't just walk back in there with my
wings in plain view...


TokoToTheEnd

Alice looked at the moon(god she and Faith are th only one's
not doing something horrible or fighting) and smiled faintly.

"Why? He's not nice to you. It doesn't make sense."

Faith also looked at the moon and sighed.

"I guess love doesn't need to make sense." Alice just nodded
and looked at the human girl. "If you love him, tell Fuegar
and if he breaks your heart, tell me and I'll break him."

Faith laughed. Alice smiled, a warm one. Something about this
human girl made Alice feel at peace. She enjoyed being near
her.

"My name is Alice."

"I am Faith."



Georgie

Tobi walked toward the lake and frowned as she heard a strange
tone in Thomas's voice when he told her he forgave her. She
shrugged it off though. Her mind was focusing purely on the
retrieval of her diary now.

"Thankyou, by the way." Tobi said softly to Thomas, not
turning around however.


TokoToTheEnd

Alice saw Tobi, then Thomas. She ignored them for now and
concentrated on her new friend Faith.

"I want to be your friend Faith. You seem like a nice girl.
You have a gentleness about you."

Faith blushed. She wasn't use to getting compliamented. But
she knew Alice was sinerce. She didn't like the calm girl
could be lying.



Casey Jewels

Thomas nodded once more. "It was nothing," he said to her and
nervously glanced about. Don't see any Haters... Don't smell
any Haters... But I can't help but feel as if I'm being
watched. He stared at the lake, his eyes searching for Fuegar.
Once he had located the demon, he ran to the edge of the water
and waved a hand to catch Fuegar's attention. "You alright?"
he asked.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice stood and held her hand out to Faith.

"I want you to meet my friends."

Faith took it and let Alice drag her over to Tobi and Thomas.
Alice had a serious expression and Faith looked dead scared.

"Hello," Alice said in her dry-I feel so damn bored-tone.



Casey Jewels

Thomas turned to face Alice, but then did a double-take when
he saw that Faith was with her. He hurridly stepped back a few
feet and tucked his wings in even tighter. "Hey," he said to
her, all the while watching Faith. "You know..., this might
not be exactly the best time..." He made flapping motions with
his hands, hoping that she'd understand. She might not be a
Hater herself, but... her sister is.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice nodded and pulled out a cloth. Then she proceeded to
blindfold Faith.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm blindfolding you because Thomas is so ugly it's so hard
to look at him," Alice said, her tone snide. But she gave
Thomas a playful look to show she was joking.

"This is Faith. My new friend. She loves Fuegar and I decided
to help her. Care to join me?"

Faith felt her cheeks burn, glad to not be able to see their
expressions.



Georgie

Tobi turned and smiled at Alice and Faith. "Hello." She said
quickly, her eyes flicking towards the edge of Lake were
Fuegar was-

'Faith Ackley had it...'

Tobi suddenly remembered Fuegar telling her that Faith had had
her diary. Anger began to bubble in her stomach and she no
longer wanted to be around her. Because God only knows what
she would do, what she might say.

"Um. Please excuse me, I need to... Wash my hands." Tobi lied
quickly, turning away from the three - one blindfolded now -
and began marching towards the waters' edge.

I need to get to the Lake, I need my diary... I can tell Alice
everything later...

Casey Jewels

Thomas couldn't help but smile at that 'ugly' comment. "I'm
not much of one for romance," he said as he stepped closer to
them. And I'm not sure that Fuegar is either... "You sure that
he's the one you want?" he asked Faith. We'd have to tell her
about us if she's serious about this... At least, we'd have to
tell her if we don't want her getting hurt.

He waved at Tobi as she headed away to show that he had heard
her.



manysidestome

"Sorry, this isn't your name on it. I think I'll return it
to... October, if you don't mind," Raqueal said. "No offense
to you, but a diary is something personal after all, and I
wouldn't want to let too many people have their way with it."
He walked around the demon toward the source of more noise, he
acutely picked it up.

Fuegar convulsed as he regained his sense and the touch of icy
water slowly numbed his body. He made it to the shore and lay
down fully on it, freezing, possibly to death, and numb.
"Dorjee... stay away from... demons make... unpleasant," he
mumbled. He felt like he could sleep now, but couldn't, or he
really would die, and he couldn't afford to. There was so much
left to do in the world, he needed more time.


Plaguewalker

Dorjee growled, appearing back infront of Raqueal in the blink
of an eye. "I don't think you heard me. I said give it to me
now. Don't make me take it from you boy. We've made a promise,
and we intend to keep it." Hissed the demon, it's hand
extended for the diary.



manysidestome

"Hmm... hard to believe you are part human," Raqueal said. "I
don't want to engage you, so let's make a compromise shall we?
I'll give you the diary, but I will accompany you to make sure
it reaches the owner." He looked the demon in the eye,
unflinching and deathly serious. He wanted peace, but he was
not afraid to stand up for what he wanted either.



Plaguewalker

The demon's face split intoa sick smile, it's dark red eyes
glowing. "Very well. You have a deal, boy. Will you give it to
me now?" He continued to hold his hand out, growing impatient.
"And what's so hard to believe?"



manysidestome

"Such hostility you've never shown before," Raqueal answered,
and extending the diary to him. "If you double cross me
though, you will suffer my displeasure, which I expect you
will not take seriously, which will give me all the more
edge," he added.



Georgie

Tobi saw Dorjee and Raqueal now and frowned in wonder as she
moved towards them, fighting the urge to race back down to
Faith and interogate her as to why she had Tobi's diary in the
first place. But she knew she would rather feel her diary's
rough leather against her fingertips, so she moved towards the
two males - one being an out of the world creature, mind you -
with caution.



iamkatara

She smiled. "Why the h*** would you think I wouldn't be
sincere in my betrayal? If i'm willing enough to kill one of
the Unwanted, doesn't it show?" She went up to him, not with
eyes of fear, but with eyes of curiosity. She was almost drawn
to him. "So. Did I pass the test?" She smiled.


Plaguewalker

Dorjee chuckled, taking the diary from Raqueal. "If I do, I
wish you the best of luck in besting me." He looked at the
diary for a moment, running his hardened fingers along the
leather. He was amazed by the importance this small, fragile
object held for Tobi. The demon's eyes softened for a moment,
as he traced her name on the cover.

"Let's go, boy." He murmured, turning around to walk away. He
froze when his red eyes fell on Tobi, his hand loosening on
the diary for a brief moment. Then, his face split into a
smile, as he walked towards her. "I told you we'd get it." He
called, his cold dark skin holding the diary up for her to
see.


TokoToTheEnd

Alice watched Tobi go, a little upset at herself.

"I am sure. I don't know why, I just can't help but like him,"
said Faith. She was beginning to get nervous.
-----------
Peace dumped the boy in the cateria on one of the tables. Then
she made her way back to her room. Shutting her door, she
threw herself on her bed and began to cry.

"Why doesn't my sister love me anymore?"



Casey Jewels

"Alright... Let's say..." He clucked his tongue and turned his
eyes up to the night sky, thinking. I don't want anything to
do with this right now. But how do I tell them no without
hurting Faith's feelings? He glanced back at the two of them.
"I'm going to have to say no. I'm a bit busy right now and I
can't really afford to get invovled in this... But if I see an
opportunity to help, I will," he finished up.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice had an urge to hug Thomas for his kindness, but she
shook it off, instead just nodding and leading the still
blindfold away.

"Thanks anyways." She looked at Faith and unblindfolded her.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Alice ran off to talk to Tobi. She
sighed, mad that she wasn't going to be able to have any peace
tonight. Faith just sat down and looked at the sky, her mind
still on Fuegar.



Fire Lord

"Not quite," said Scarecrow, kicking Jason to the wall.

"Like I said, you could simply be a cold person. Someone who
knows that needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Killing Jason to get information on us is not hard to believe.
I want your leader. Whoever is in charge of the Unwanted. You
can start by telling me their name."

Scarecrow's eyes watched Rachel's face. Jason coughed,
managing to shake his head.

"Rachel...don't!"



iamkatara

Rachel smiled and waited to speak. She needed to soak this in.
"The one you just stabbed." She smirked. "Good job."



Fire Lord

Scarecrow studied her slightly.

"Oh? We'll then, would you please do the honors of pointing
out his Unwanted tatoo to me."

He motioned to the Haters and they grabbed Jason, tossing him
to the ground at Rachel's feet.

"Point out his symbol for me. If you don't, I'm afraid I have
no basis to trust your word on and we'll have to kill you and
Jason."

manysidestome

""Yes, congratualtions," Raqueal said. "Good job on getting
that back." He didn't want any credit, he didn't want anyone
talking to him, or bothering him because of it. Dorjee was set
on getting it to her though, he could have it all.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice walked over to Tobi and sighed. She didn't seem like she
cared, but Alice was deeply concerned.

"Why are you all upset? It's ruining my sleep."



Casey Jewels

Thomas glanced in the direction that he knew Fuegar to be, but
then shook his head and started for the school. He needed to
get his jacket back, and the sooner he did that, the better.
Besides, I don't want to anger him again. I'll just give him a
few minutes to let him cool down a little. The Unwanted
glanced around him, and then stumbled to a halt as he caught
sight a handful of Haters coming his way. He knew that they
were probably here to investigate the fire, but... that meant
him as well, since he was coming from it.

Just great, Thomas told himself as he pulled his wings in even
closer. One of the Haters hailed him, telling him to halt. But
Thomas knew that if he followed their orders, it would be
revealed what he was. So instead he put on a friendly face and
nodded at them. "Got in a nasty fight with one of those filthy
Unwanted," he told the Haters and held up his hands so that
they could see the burns. "But I took care of him." He laughed
harshly at this, which helped somewhat to hide the fact that
he was trembling with fear.

(I think that it's about time the Haters investigated what was
going on over there, so...)



TokoToTheEnd

Faith looked over at Thomas and saw some other people too. She
was curios and walked over.

"Um...hi?" She wasn't sure what to say. She felt awkward
again. "Is there something wrong?"



Fire Lord

"Why are you shaking?" asked a voice. The Haters parted to let
one in the back walk forward.

The burlap mask arched to show the wearer was smiling, his
eyes amused.

"Are we frightening to you?" asked Scarecrow.


(To avoid confusion on it, Jason just has several Haters
posing as Scarecrow to help hide his identity)



TokoToTheEnd

Faith was shocked and scared. She couldn't find the strength
to move.

"What..."



manysidestome

Fuegar gasped and clutched to his own body to keep himself
warmer. "If I die here... I am going to be so ****ed," he
mumbled. It was just an expression though, he lost too much
energy to have emotions now anyway. What he needed was a fire,
and some sleep once he was warm. He couldn't sleep now, he
would die from the cold, he would never wake up once he fell
asleep. Where were the people from before, everyone trying to
stop the fight, or be apart of it? He came to the conclusion
though, that they might not think it very smart to save a
demon... and he couldn't blame him. He wasn't meant to live
amond others, but he still didn't want to die yet. He just
needed assistance now, and then he would be able to leave,
nothing could keep him here after all.



Casey Jewels

"From pain," Thomas said to Scarecrow. "That is all. I was
burned badly during the fight." I've got to get away... But
I've also got to get them away... He tried to force his body
to be still, but it wouldn't obey him. "I'm going to go get my
burns treated now, if you don't mind." He started to walk away
from the group, careful not to turn his back on them.



TokoToTheEnd

Faith feeling exposed ran off and then saw someone. She slowed
down as she saw it was Fuegar. She ran to his side and looked
at him with concern.

"Are you ok?"



Fire Lord

A Hater stepped in front of Thomas, blocking him from leaving.
Scarecrow slowly turned his head to look at him.

"Now, now, although your story is very convincing, I'm afraid
we must do our part to make sure our school remains peacefull
and real attackers are not running loose."

He eyed Thomas slightly.

"You see, another party of my Haters have recently come across
a girl called Rachel and a boy named Jason. We know the girl
is Unwanted, and when my Haters attempted to confront her, she
claimed she was one of us. She said this even when Jason was
stabbed when he was protecting her. Fortunatly he'll be dead
in a few minutes, but we're still left with the problem that
an Unwanted was traveling the halls. And where there is one
Unwanted, there are more. So, if you are not Unwanted, would
you care to point out which of these other people are?"



manysidestome

"No, my life is in peril right now," Fuegar said. He would
have said something sarcastic if he had the emotions to. "The
cold is about to claim my life, make me fall into an endless
sleep. If I don't get warmer quickly, I will die, though I
doubt there is much concern about that anyway, since I am only
a danger to the world."



Casey Jewels

Thomas came to a complete stop at this piece of information.
Jason... stabbed by the Haters...? He swallowed nervously and
nodded his head. "Gladly. As soon as I get my wounds
treated... If I don't get something on these burns soon, then
I might just faint. And I'm not much help to you when I'm out
cold, right?" He forced himself to step to the right of the
Hater and start forward once more. "Just take whoever you find
here and I'll tell you once I get back." I don't believe it.
It's just another ruse... another trick... It has to be...



Fire Lord

The amused look returned to Scarecrow's face.

"Very well."

He nodded to the other Haters.

"Round everyone here up and detain them under the suspicion of
being Unwanted."

The Haters dispersed, a few making their way towards Faith and
Feugar, while the others headed towards Alice, Tobi, and
Dorjee.

"You're free to go," he said to Thomas.

"Even if a few of them aren't Unwanted, it's close enough
don't you think?"



TokoToTheEnd

Faith nodded and tried to lift him, but it wasn't working. He
was to heavy. Faith felt afriad. She couldn't let Fuegar die.

"Can you stand?"



manysidestome

"If I could do anything I wouldn't be laying here helplessly,"
Fuegar said in the same tone. "Well... you can't help me I
guess. Could you at least end it for me, quick, so I don't
have to go through this agony anymore? Or before some haters
get here and decide to kill me in an even worse way."



Casey Jewels

Oh crud. He glanced back at the others and then turned to face
Scarecrow. "Hurting the innocent is not a wise thing to do,"
he said softly, but not soft enough that he couldn't be heard.
"Besides, one of them is a sister to a Hater." He then
carefully began to inch away, making sure that his back was
always hidden from view.



TokoToTheEnd

"I'm not going to kill you." Faith smiled at Fuegar and then
decided to do the first thing her mind told her. She got close
to Fuegar and wrapped her arms around him. "If you can't get
warm, then I'll share my body heat with you." Faith couldn't
let him die.



manysidestome

"You would if you knew what I was, but it's probably best you
don't," Fuegar said. "This may keep me alive, but I don't
think there's a big chance on my survival."

Here's pages 31-35.


Fire Lord

The Haters grabbed onto Faith's arm.

"You both can spend all the time you want together where
you're going."

They siezed Feugar from behind, and pulled Faith away.

"Unwanted or not, a mere suspicion is good enough."

---

Scarecrow turned his head towards Thomas.

"Why are you walking like that? Afraid that I'll notice your
wings...Unwanted?"

A knife jetting into his hand and Scarecrow rushed towards
Thomas with incredible speed, plunging the knife towards his
chest.



Casey Jewels

Thomas's eyes widened in terror and he spun to the left,
narrowly dodging the attack. Crud. Crud. Crud. He took several
rapid steps back and spread out his wings. "Now you're going
to have to die," Thomas growled. "For I can't allow you to
live when you know my secret."



TokoToTheEnd

Faith tried to squirm away and she found she couldn't.

"What's going on? Tell me!!"
-----------
Alice heard a noise and saw people coming.

"Haters. Great these means no sleep at all."

She unfolded her wings and grabbed Tobi, flying into the sky.

"I wonder if Haters fly?"



Plaguewalker

Dorjee watched Alice take Tobi, before his gaze fell on the
oncoming Haters. His grip tightened around the diary, as he
glanced back at Raqueal. "Get out of here, boy. I'll deal with
these vermin. Get this to Tobi." He handed the diary back to
the boy, before walking towards the oncoming Haters.



Fire Lord

Scarecrow laughed.

"One Unwanted can not defeat me. The Haters are the saviors of
this place. We stand for peace, and justice. You Unwanted are
nothing but tears in that fabric of peace."

He ran towards him with incredible speed, leaping into the air
when he was a few feet away. He spun sideways several times
before landing behind Thomas. With a yell he swung his leg
around towards his side.

---

"You're coming with us for the suspicion of being Unwanted,"
said the Hater holding Faith.

"Resist and it will only be worse for you."

The others looked towards the sky where Alice had taken flight
with Tobi.

"Shoot them down."

One of the Haters' hand errupted in a ball of electricity. He
took a step forward and hurled the ball of energy towards
Alice, attemting to hit her from the sky.


Two of the Haters approached Dorjee, making a half circle in
front of him.

"Make this easy on yourself and just surrender now."



manysidestome

"Oh good, at least I'll be moved," Fuegar said. "Tell me, what
do you plan to do with the people who aren't Unwanted? Or will
you just kill everyone, the ones you think you're protecting,
to assure yourself you're killing unwanted?"

Raqueal took the diary and hid it in his pocket, and started
walking toward the forest. They hadn't said anything about
him, he wasn't an unwanted, and he had no fear of the haters.
The unwanted were in much trouble now, but he didn't really
care. He would get the diary to Tobi and have nothing more to
do with them. All he wanted was to try to get more out of
Rachel.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice dodged. She saw trees and looked back at the Haters.
Then another thing caught her eyes. The sun. It was rising.
Morning was coming and that meant people! Humans!!

"I bet the school would love to see you guys fighting with
us." Alice fly to the ground, closing her wings. "It sure
would make a good impression and not, you know, freak everyone
out."

Faith saw the sun and prayed for it to rise. She felt a hand
and saw Peace.

"What are you doing with her?"



Casey Jewels

Thomas spun around just in time to recieve the kick. He
grunted in pain and stumbled back a few steps. "Oh, is that
so?" he asked. "We're not the ones that attack others just
because they're different!" He ducked down low and charged
forward. At the last possible second, he pushed off of the
ground and flew up into the air. Gotta be careful. He's armed
and I'm not.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee laughed, his demonic chuckle filling the air. "You've
got it the wrong way..." In the blink of an eye, his foot was
slamming into the gut of one of the Haters, sending him
careening into a nearby tree. "...you're the one who should
surrender." He didn't care about the sun rising behind him, as
smirked at the Hater.



Georgie

Tobi hugged Alice tighter then she had ever hugged another
human. "ALICE! YOU ARE-" Tobi saw the Sun rising like a golden
orb hanging in a room of blue velvet. She thought quickly -
"Alice, you have to get away, get your wings away. You can
drop me down, i'll distract them! I look normal, I just look
like a nuteral!" Tobi said, trying a reassuring smile. "I'll
be alright!"



TokoToTheEnd

Alice shook her head and landed. She pulled in her wings and
faced the Haters.

"We'll face them together. I'm not going to let you do this
alone. Besides the sun will be up soon and the humans will be
out."



Georgie

Tobi smiled at Alice as they landed together. She was an
amazing girl, so strong in the face of danger and Tobi admired
her so much for that.

"Alright. Let's do this." Tobi said, feeling slightly
vunerable. She had no call-able power or weapons. She was only
strong when she transformed, but it came at a vicious and
bloody price.



TokoToTheEnd

Peace pullled Faith away from the Haters' arms.

"Are you saying that my sister is an Unwanted? I think I would
know if my twin was. So don't you even suspect her."

Peace began to pull Faith back to their dorm. Faith was
confused and Pace smiled.

"I know something to help you Faith. Don't worry."




Fire Lord

The two Haters chuckled at Tobi and Alice.

"What are two little fools like you going to do? One of our
parties has already faced two Unwanted. One's begging for
mercy and the other is lying in is own blood at this very
moment."

The two of them rushed forward.


The second hater turned to look at his comrad smashed against
the tree.

"You're strong," he rolled up his sleeve to reveal his arm
becoming covered in liquid metal before it hardened.

"But so am I."

He shoved his fist towards Dorjee's stomach.

---

Scarecrow turned to look at the coming horizon.

"Not much time, we must leave before sunrise."

He turned as Thomas leapt into the air. He ran forward,
leaping into the air after him with his fist raised.



Plaguewalker

Dorjee moved out of the way quickly, before swinging his foot
at the Hater's chest. "You're no where near as strong as I am,
boy." The demon hissed, as his leg drew closer to the boy.



Casey Jewels

Thomas instantly tucked his wings back in and let himself fall
towards the incoming fist. But as the fist struck him in the
jaw, his feet connected with Scarecrow's gut. He head snapped
backwards at the force of the blow and he was knocked away
from the Hater. He fell towards the ground, his body in too
much shock at the moment to listen to his frantic commands to
fly upwards.

Georgie

Tobi felt her heart sinking into the pit of her twisted
stomach. Two other Unwanted... Begging for mercy... Other
lying in...

Tobi felt a surge of anger pump through her blood - a surge
that she only could vaguely remember when she transformed. She
dodged in front of Alice and swiped a fist at the Hater,
making contact with his cheek. She felt her eyes widen in
amazement in herself.

"You people are sick!" Tobi growled at the two.



manysidestome

Fuegar chuckled, looking at Faith and Peace. "Family bonds eh?
I guess they might work for you, a sense of loyalty to those
closest related to you," he said. He was just trying to
consider how he would react to seeing a family member again.
Probably rip their limbs off and remove their intestines to
start with. "Well anyway let's go already, you've got to prove
I'm an Unwanted and all that, and the longer you dillydally
out here the longer you give me to recover and try to escape."



iamkatara

Rachel smiled. "I'll leave you to your fun." She walked away
towards the forest. She saw Raqueal out of the window and she
had to speak to him. Quickly.



Fire Lord

"Quality time then," said Scarecrow, bending down to look at
Jason with his amused eyes.

Jason slowly looked up to meet his gaze.

"You're very stupid...you know that Jason? Helping these
ridiculous traitors. Look what it's got you."

Jason gritted his teeth and glared at Scarecrow, holding his
hand tightly to his bleeding wound.

"What? No comment? No remark? How sad..."

---

Sunlight peeked over the horizon as Scarecrow crashed to the
ground. He growled, pushing himself to his feet and turning to
look at the rising sun.

"We're out of time. Everyone scatter!"

The Haters released their captors without a word, backing away
with Scarecrow.

"Daylight...teachers will be patrolling very soon. That's
saved your skins for now..."

The Haters split off on their own, each dissapearing into a
different darkened door or alley.



manysidestome

Fuegar dropped to the ground again as the haters scattered.
"Great... now I haven't gotten any sleep... I guess I'll have
to skip classes today. Assuming of course, that I make it
through the next few hours," he said to himself. His body was
still unresponsive, though the sun should warm him up soon.

Raqueal headed over toward Tobi and Alice stood and stood in
front of Tobi. "Dorjee wanted you to have this," he said,
holding out her diary. "He snatched it from the demon." He
shoved it into her hands without waiting for a reply and
walked back toward his room, to get some sleep.



iamkatara

Rachel saw Raqueal going the other way, so she followed him to
the others. "Raqueal. Hi. Hey everyone. Raqueal, I need to
talk to you."



manysidestome

"What I need is some sleep," Raqueal said. "Whatever it is, it
can wait for a few hours can't it?" He was a bit tired, and
wanted to sleep more than anything.



iamkatara

Rachel nodded. "Ok. Sorry I disturbed you." She turned and
left, wondering what just happened.



manysidestome

"Ok, wait," Raqueal said. "What did you want to say," he
asked. It was obviously a big deal to her, and since she was
his kind, the only one he knew, he figured he should listen.
Even if it did turn out to be nothing.



iamkatara

Rachel turned around. "I think I did something wrong. Really
wrong." She stopped for a second and then spit this out as
fast as she could. "I pretended to side with the Haters and I
almost stabbed Jason." She couldn't believe her actions. They
were horrible.



manysidestome

"I see...," Raqueal said, and sighed. "I honestly don't know
who Jason is, and this school war really does not concern me.
Personally, each side is just as bad as the other. Really,
there are only two things here I care anything for."



iamkatara

Rachel smiled. His thoughts were kind of comforting. "Well one
of the things is nature. What is the other thing? Life?" She
knew that life was one of the things she treasured. That and
her memory... her being.



manysidestome

"Life is everywhere, I meant here specificly," Raqueal said.
"If I were you, I'd drop out of both of the sides and stay
detatched from the others. It's easier to stay out of trouble,
especially with societie's worst here and all."



iamkatara

Rachel nodded. "I think you're right, but now that i'm in it
how do I get myself out? The Haters are ready to kill. They're
ready to kill me." She couldn't believe she was saying this.
"Raqueal... I'm scared."



TokoToTheEnd

Peace took Faith to their room. Faith felt sick. She just
wanted to sleep. Peace opened a drawer and handed her twin
something.

"Drink it."

Faith did as she was told and gagged at the horrible taste.
Still she drank it all down and found herself slipping into
sleep. Peace smiled at Faith.

"Everything that had happen tonight. All of it. You won't
remember any of it."

Fire Lord

When Rachel was out of sight, Scarecrow motioned for the
Haters to leave.

Tthe pained look on Jason's face dissapeared. He stood,
removing his hand to reveal no wound.

"Excellent."

He and Scarecrow turned down a darkened hallway, and began to
walk.

"Where's the other one?" Jason asked.

The second scarecrow stepped out from a nearby hallway.

"Here."

Jason nodded.

"Good, both of you. The senior members of the Unwanted now
know that I tried to help Rachel, and got injured in the
process. For those that believe in me, like Tobi, that will
only strenghten my innocense. For someone like Thomas, he will
become confused and unsure of his own belief. And, thanks to
what Rachel heard, they'll believe Faith to be a traitor, not
me."

The two Scarecrows removed their masks, both revealing
bloodshot eyes and tired faces.

"The drugs I gave you two should be wearing off any minute, so
you both should return to your rooms. When you wake up
tomorrow, you won't remember a thing about tonight."

The two boys nodded, turning and taking their leave.

Jason smiled slightly.

I simply need to wrap my "wound" and wait for tomorrow. I'll
have a few Haters finish displaying the Unwanted Peace should
have hid in the cafeteria, and tomorrow we'll see the
results."

He turned down a small darkened hallway, and dissapeared.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice sat against a tree, her face bloody, but her expression
was calm and emotionless.

"I am weak. I will get stronger," she said to herself.



manysidestome

"Easy, you stick with me," Raqueal said. "See, they don't
really know anything about me, and they will be overconfident,
or very cautious. Either way is good for me. They probably
wouldn't risk alienating someone who could be in league with
them either. With us together, they won't make a move, unless
they're weak." They wouldn't dare challenge him unless they
were stupid. They were all there for a reason, and with so
many weird things going on, they couldn't be too careful.



iamkatara

Rachel spontaniously hugged him and then pulled away.
"Sorry... but thanks. It's nice knowing I have someome to turn
to." She smiled. "Well, not all the time." She giggled a bit.



manysidestome

"It's allright. We elves have to stick together. After all,
we're all we've got," Raqueal said. He left her to ponder this
as he went back to his room, ready for some sleep.



iamkatara

Rachel smiled as he left. I knew I would get under his shell
sooner or later. She chuckled at the thought and then went to
her bed to sleep. She crawled under the covers, her mind
finally drifting from the events, well most of the events, of
the night.



Casey Jewels

Thomas groaned and lifted up his head to stare at the rising
sun. Then his eyes widened and he hurridely scrambled to his
feet, momentarily forgetting his pain. I gotta hide... He then
spun in the direction that the Haters had gone. They know who
I am... He stumbled a few steps in their direction, but then
slowly shook his head, knowing that it was two late. What
mattered right now was getting to the nurse's office
undetected. Burns first, Haters second. And then... He shook
his head again, this time in confusion. Jason third. I have to
figure out what's going on... He stifled a yawn and pushed off
of the ground. While flying was more risky, it would also get
him to his destination faster.



manysidestome

"Nope... I'm going to die, the sun isn't coming up quick
enough to combat the cold... I give myself about twenty
minutes," Fuegar said to himself, shivering violently.
"Shouldn't expect help here, no one likes demons, and
especially two at the same school."



Casey Jewels

That's when he remembered the others. Thomas instantly
swiveled around and flew towards the lake. His keen eye soon
spotted Fuegar, who appeared to be hurt. He dropped down
beside the demon and held out a hand. "Come on. We both need
to see the nurse..." He squinted up at the rising sun. "Before
everyone else gets up."



manysidestome

"My body is unresponsive," Fuegar responded. "I can't move,
and I doubt you can get me anywhere that could help." There
needed to be more than one person to help him, he realized. He
may not weigh much, but it would still be hard for anyone to
move him anywhere far.



Casey Jewels

"I'm half dragon," Thomas said to the demon. "That has to
count for something." He slid an arm underneath Fuegar's
knees. His other arm went under Fuegar's shoulders. He then
hefted the demon up, stumbling back a few steps in the
process. He then gritted his teeth against the searing pain of
his burns and started forward. At this rate, we're never going
to make it in time... He glanced down at his companion. "Would
the nurse be able to help you at all? Or do you need to go
somewhere else?"



manysidestome

"I need some warmth in the next... 15 minutes or so or I'll
die," Fuegar said. "The sun won't rise fast enough, so I need
something that can generate heat."



Casey Jewels

Thomas nodded and stumbled to a halt. He glanced about him,
looking for something, anything that he could use to heat up
Fuegar. But all of the wood in the area was chared. Then he
tucked in his wings, bent down low, and took off running.
"Just hang on," he hissed to the demon. The furance... I think
that this school might have a furance...



manysidestome

"I can't do anything else," Fuegar muttered to the
half-dragon. Why did people always give obvious orders? He
half expected someone to tell him to breathe soon.



Casey Jewels

Thomas would have given a retort, but it took all of his
concentration just to keep going. His eyes watered with pain
and he stumbled and fell several times. But each time he went
down he would immediantly get back up. Just hang in there, he
thought, too tired to speak the words. Soon you'll be
somewhere warm. Just stay with me. Please.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice walked over to Thomas and looked at him and Fuegar.

"You know this doesn't surprise me." She sighed. "Need help?"



Casey Jewels

Thomas stumbled to a halt and wearily glanced over at Alice.
"No," he said and took another step forward, almost collasping
in the process. "Well..., maybe a little," he admitted and
stumbled closer to the Unwanted. "Take the lower half." He
adjusted his grip on Fuegar, so that he was supporting the
upper half of the demon's body.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice opened her mouth to protest, but instead, she mumbled
something unintelligent and took Fuegar by the legs.

"So what happen to him?"



Casey Jewels

"A fight," Thomas answered shortly. He glanced over at the
rising sun and then quickened his pace. "We need to get him
somewhere warm. Fast." He didn't volunteer any more
information, for it took too much effort to talk. The warmer
it became out, the worse his burns hurt. And the worse his
burns hurt, the harder it was to keep going.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice looked at the school and then at Thomas.

"Your too weak to carry him like that. Give me more weight."



Casey Jewels

"I'm fine," Thomas said between gritted teeth, not wanting to
appear weak in his leader's eyes. "Besides, we're over halfway
there..." But even as he said this, he slowly shifted his grip
on Fuegar, giving Alice more weight. "Just hang in there," he
whispered to both himself and Fuegar. This demon is hurt worse
than I am... If he can stay concious, so can I.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice wanted to give Thomas sypathy, but she knew she
couldn't. Pity wasn't something that always helped people. It
could make them feel weak too.

She saw the school's roof and sighed in relief.

"Do you remember where the nurse's office is?"



Casey Jewels

Thomas shook his head. "We're not going to the nurse. Do you
know if the school has a furance or something? Fuegar needs
heat and he needs it now." And then, maybe I'll take him to
the nurse. Depends if he still needs help. He stumbled and
nearly fell, but managed to grab onto Alice before he went
down. Her solid form helped him to regain his balance.



TokoToTheEnd

Alice blushed slightly as Thomas grabbed onto her. She looked
around and nodded.

"There should be one in the basement. It's not too far from
here," she said using her head to show the door down the hall.



Casey Jewels

Thomas took his hand off of her as soon as he felt that he
could stand on his own two feet. "Good." He angled himself
towards the door. "Almost there," he whispered to Fuegar. "And
then... you can rest." We all can rest. He pulled his wings in
as tight as he could, wishing once more that he had his jacket
with him.



manysidestome

"I regret being a burden to you two," Fuegar said. "Just so
you know, I'm leaving after this. I should have known, I
wasn't ever meant to live among any other creatures. I also
regret not being able to properly repay this, but perhaps just
leaving could do that, not being here to cause more distress."



TokoToTheEnd

Alice shook her head. Faith really liked him and to see him
go, without her telling him her feelings. It made Alice feel
bad and angry at Fuegar.

"But you're wanted here."



Casey Jewels

Thomas couldn't help but laugh at that statement. They were
Unwanted, not Wanted. He then glanced down at the demon he was
carrying. "But there are some here that care about you,
Fuegar. Alice and Faith both care about you. I care about
you." He nodded at his burns. "You think that I'm just going
to let you run away like some coward after I risked my life
for you? You can just forget it."



manysidestome

"That's one way to look at it. Here's another: I may confront
Dorjee again, lose control, and no one may be there to stop
it. I might kill innocent lives, burn the school down, or any
number of things," Fuegar said. "Of course, if it exposed
Jason, that would be worth staying."



TokoToTheEnd

Alice dropped Fuegar's legs.

"You're really selfish you know? Yes you may lose control or
do horrilbe things, but so do other peoples, even humans have
taken lives. But that is no reason to run off like a coward."
Alice opened the basement door.

manysidestome

"You are making very poor arguments. Those who lose control
are locked up, you know, and they aren't given the choice to
stay in society or not," Fuegar said. "Am I selfish because I
don't want to take any lives, or because I don't want to risk
losing my sanity again?"



Casey Jewels

Thomas slowly shook his head in confusion and nearly fell over
as Alice released Fuegar. He still believes that Jason is a
Hater, but now... now I'm not so sure... I need to see that
wound for myself. "I told you, I won't let you do something
like that. And now I'll be sure to keep you away from Dorjee
as well."



TokoToTheEnd

"You're selfish because you are afriad of your powers." Alice
took his legs again and began to descend into the darkness.



Casey Jewels

Thomas quickly followed after her, his eyes quickly adjusting
to the darkness. The air was warmer here, which just agitated
his burns. "Besides, after all I've gone through to keep you
alive, I don't want you to just vanish. Then you might as well
of died."



TokoToTheEnd

"Besides you have to wait until Faith gains the guts to tell
you how she feels. I won't let her be broken hearted. Well I
mean to have her heart broken because you left without her
saying anything." Alice say the furance and put down Fuegar's
legs. "Now Thomas, you need to get those burns taken care of."



Casey Jewels

"I know," Thomas said as he rapidly backed away from the
furance. "I'm going." He dashed out of the room, desperate to
get away from the heat. "Take care of him until I get back!"
he called to Alice before slipping out of the room. He knew
better than to just leave Fuegar alone, especially when he was
acting like this. He just hoped that Alice would listen to
him.

The Unwanted took off down the hall, knowing that speed was
everything. He was so vulnerable right now. If he came across
any Haters right now, he would be toast. He squeezed his eyes
shut and bit his lip, fighting the darkness back. He couldn't
afford to faint--not here, not now.



iamkatara

Jiana decided to take a walk. Somewhere dark. Somewhere
secluded. Somewhere where the Haters wouldn't find her. SHe
went down the steps to the basement and looked around. It was
a dusty place but she was happy. She saw Alice and Fuegar. She
saw he was hurt. "Is he ok?"



TokoToTheEnd

Alice looked up at Jiana and sighed.

"He was hurt, but he just needs to warm up." Alice stood.
"What are you doing down here, anyways? The sun is almost up
and classes will begin soon. You should be sleeping."



iamkatara

Rachel twitched her lip. "I got caught up with some Haters.
They almost killed me and a couple other people. I lied to get
away, and I almost killed Jason. I hate myself, so I really
can't sleep right now." SHe sat down. "I need to think a
little so I came down here, but I'd rather help you guys."



TokoToTheEnd

"Well you can help convice moody here, that he doesn't need to
leave the school." Alice looked at her feet, her expression
not changing at all from the dull expression she usually wore.



iamkatara

She turned to Fuegar. "I'll try."

She looked in his eyes. "Listen, I know how you feel right
now. I want to leave scool for fear of my life, you want to
leave school for I don't know what. That's not the answer
though. we're both here for a reason and we both need to be
here to help others. I know that you don't really want to, but
you have to. Leaving isn't the answer. It never is... trust
me." She turned to Alice. "Good?"



TokoToTheEnd

"Well it's better than what I said." Alice felt like Fuegar
wouldn't listen to reason though. There was something deep
troubling him or it seemed that way to her.



Georgie

((Can I just inquire as to where we are?))

(Well Alice, Fuegar and Rachel are in the basement and Thomas
is at the nurse's. I'm pretty sure everyone else is in bed.
The sun is almost up.)



Plaguewalker

((Dorjee ain't. He still at the lake, in demon mode.))



Georgie

((Alas, thankyou my sweet.))

Tobi had run from the lake scene and just managed to crawl
into her room, using what was left of the shadows to sneak
into the dorm rooms and as soon as she shut her door, she
cried.

Fat, pearly tears streaked down her pale face as she clutched
her diary to her chest, sliding down the back of the door
until she felt the ground beneath her. Her night had been one
problem after another, much like her life had been. People had
seen her diary, which means they had gone through her room,
which means people knew of her personal life. Information like
that was critical, but even more so for someone whom led a
dangerous double life like she did.

She was in constant danger, but now, her threatened status had
jumped several spots. She was terrifed, frustrated, furious
and nervous all at the same time. Her friends were in danger
too, which only complicated matters. Tobi began to sob,
tightening her grip on her diary.



TokoToTheEnd

Peace woke up, her thought jumbled. The bell to wake the
students would go off soon. Peace slid out of bed and began to
dress. She looked at her twin sleeping. She looked so
peaceful.


Plaguewalker

Dorjee's eyes stared at the rising sun, a large smile spread
across his demonic face. "Lovely night." The demon said,
ignoring the bell. "And it feels so good to stretch again.
It's been far to long since I last got exercise." With a sigh,
the demon turned to the school. Give me control again. I need
to see if Tobi got her diary back. If she didn't, I'll let you
loose on Raqueal. The demon smiled, it's eyes alight. "You've
got a deal, boy."

The demon walked through the halls, past students who looked
at the monster in fear. Stopping at his door, the demon swung
it open with enough force to almost tear it off the wall. He
stepped into the dark circle in the corner, and a bright red
light engulfed him.



Casey Jewels

"Nothing," Thomas muttered to the nurse as she asked him
question after question, rarely getting time to get a word in
edgewise. "Nothing happened. Just tripped and fell. That's
all." But she ignored his answers and just continued to ask
questions. Thomas finally just clamped his mouth shut and
removed all of his clothing from his waist up. He then sat
himself down on the closest bed and waited.

A few minutes later the nurse calmed down and began to rub
salve on his burns. Thomas inhaled sharply at her gentle
touch, but it wasn't too long before the salve began to work
it's magic. That's when he finally worked up the nerve to ask
the nurse a question that had been bugging him.

"Has Jason checked in here?" he asked and then steeled himself
for the answer. If the answer was yes, then he was seriously
going to have to rethink some things. But if the answer was
no... then it would be time to start a new round of this
little game.



manysidestome

"You two just really don't understand," Fuegar said. His
strength was returning, soon he might be able to move again.
Then he could leave, if no one saw him though.

Fire Lord

"Thomas...is that you?" asked a weak voice.

The curtain of the bed next to Thomas' slid open, revealing a
tired Jason laying in the bed. His shirt had been discarded,
his lower torso wrapped several times in white bandages. The
rest of his chest was bruised and marked with many cuts while
his eyes were weak and exhausted.

"The Haters took their aggression out on me after Rachel
left."

Jason winced, grabbing onto his wrapped wound. The nurse
barked an order to lay back down and Jason followed it,
relaxing his head against the pillows.

"Boy do I feel like Sh$%."



Casey Jewels

Thomas instantly pulled his wings back in and spun around so
that his back was facing the nurse. "Jason... I..." He
swallowed nervously and looked the other boy up and down.
"You're hurt," he blurted out, for that was the first thing
that came to mind. "I mean..." He drew in a deep breath,
trying to regain his composure. "Well, obviously you're hurt,
but..." He fell silent, figuring that talking would just make
things worse.



Fire Lord

Jason raised an eyebrow, giving Thomas a confused look.

"Yes...I'm hurt."

He sighed, looking up at the ceiling.

"I told her, I told everyone, not to travel alone. And that's
exactly what Rachel did. After I came though, they were more
interested in beating the life out of me than Rachel."

Jason winced, grabbing onto his wound.

"I'm starting to think that wasn't the smartest thing to do."



Casey Jewels

The nurse started rubbing the salve over Thomas's body once
more, but the Unwanted paid her no mind. "So is Rachel all
right?" he asked, figuring that it was a safe enough topic to
start with. I don't understand any of this... He collasped
down onto the bed, too tired to stay upright any longer.



Fire Lord

"Yeah," winced Jason, letting the nurse rub the salve over his
wound.

"She managed to convice Scarecrow that she wasn't Unwanted.
All be it that involved hitting me and almost stabbing me, but
she did it."

He sighed slightly.

"Don't get me wrong, I can understand what she's thinking. One
person isn't important enough to endanger the Unwanted. Still,
I would be lying if I didn't say I was angry. I almost got
killed trying to protect someone that in exchange turned on
me."

He turned his head over towards Thomas.

"What about you? What happened?"



Casey Jewels

Thomas bit his lip at the question and stared down at the
ground. "I tried to break up a fight with two demons... Some
Haters showed up... Along with..." He instantly looked up at
Jason. "Tell me, when did Scarecrow leave you?" he asked as a
thought struck him. It almost sounds as if there were two...



Fire Lord

"Not until sunrise," said Jason.

"He and his friends didn't let up the beating till the sun
peaked over, then they ran."

He gave Thomas a questioning look.

"Why?"



Casey Jewels

Then there is more than one, which means... Thomas's eyes
narrowed as he stared at Jason, but the hatred stayed in his
eye for only a second, then it was gone. "Scarecrow showed up
and we got into a fight. But he took off as soon as the sun
rose." He watched Jason carefully, waiting to see how he would
react. "I'm sure by now the real Scarecrow knows what I am."
This time he couldn't conceal his hatred for the boy. He
knows... And other Haters know... What am I going to do?



Fire Lord

Jason's face was suprised.

"What? That's impossible. He was attacking me until sunrise,
he couldn't have-"

Jason eyes widened.

"Unless...unless there's more than one."

Jason leaned forward off of his pillows, wincing slightly at
the movement.

"Thomas, are you thinking what I'm thinking? There could be
more than one Scarecrow. Meaning that Scarecrow could simply
be a title of certain Haters, or one Scarecrow is concealing
his identity. Thomas we need to tell the Unwanted. If there is
more than one Scarecrow than we need to be-"

It was then that he noticed Thomas' narrowed eyes, and Jason
returned some of his own.

"Oh...I see...you suspect me don't you."



iamkatara

As the sun rose, Rachel left the two alone and went upstairs.
She could roam now that it was daylight out. She went through
the halls, searching for someone to talk to.



Casey Jewels

"Who better for the job," Thomas responded, his eyes still
narrowed. "I do believe that Scarecrow is concealing his
identity... because I believe that it's an inside job. Only,
that person has to be careful. He has to make sure that those
he attacks are known by others to be Unwanted, otherwise it
might give him away. I haven't been attacked as of yet,
because there really was no evidence against me." He touched
the cloth that he wore over his right eye, which he was
supposedly blind in. "But now I can be attacked, because
others know what I am."

He pulled the sash away and, for the first time in months,
stared at another living being with both of his eyes. The
right eye was a golden yellow, a different color from his
other. But that wasn't all that was unusual about it. On the
eyelid of that eye was the mark of the Unwanted. "You've seen
my wings, as have some of the other Haters. But, mark my words
Jason, I won't be taken down without a fight."



manysidestome

Marcus sat in the hallway against a wall, watching the light
on a wall from a window near him slowly get higher and
brighter. He then heard someone walking, and turned to see
Rachel, a known Unwanted. More than that though, word spread
quickly, she had decided to side with the haters. He wasn't
sure about it, but he would wait and see. After all, it wasn't
like he had anything to fear.



iamkatara

Rachel heard Marcus, and she knew he hated her because she was
an unwanted, but she jsut kept passing. She didn't need to
speak to him. Not now. Not after yesterday.



Fire Lord

"I don't what I have to do, Thomas, to convice you that I'm
not a Hater," said Jason, returning the narrowed eyes.

"You seem to have a strange problem with only me. If what you
say is true, then anyone in the Unwanted could be Scarecrow.
And yet, you have not once considered anyone else but me. I
think you're afraid. After all, there's someone like Rachel,
or Alice, that you know and are your friends. Finding out that
they aren't who you thought they were is a frightening and
terrifying prospect."

Jason sighed, his eyes loosing their narrowed glare.

"Then there's me. Someone who tries to remain out of the
Unwanted's affairs, but still help anyway he can. Never once
have I asked about the location of the Headquaters. Never have
I asked who was an Unwanted. And never once have I led any of
you astray in my advice. And tonight I tried to protect
someone only to have them beat me down as hard as the Haters
and almost kill me!"

Jason's eyes returned to their narrowed stare.

"Honestly, you Unwanted frighten me as much as the Haters.
Someone tries to help you and you accuse them of treason. Even
when you're supposed to be the ones who are tollerant and
diverse!"

Jason gritted his teeth.

"You don't want my help? Fine. I quit. I'm done trying to help
you when all I ever get in return is trash! You Unwanted stay
away from me, and the younger students I protect. If you put
their lives in danger like you've done mine tonight..."

Jason fell silent, turning in his bed so his back faced
Thomas. The nurse came over and tugged the curtain back so it
hid his bed from view.



Casey Jewels

Thomas slammed his fist into the bed and then buried his head
underneath his pillow. Why is it my gut is telling me one
thing, but my head another? They're usually in agreement... He
let out a frustrated yell, which was muffled by the fact that
his head was covered. Then his eyes watered and he began to
cry. How had things gotten so confusing and out of hand? And
why was he the one that was so confused? Nobody else was
having these kind of problems. And what if Jason was really
who he said he was? Would the Unwanted be mad at him for
driving a friend away? Would they want him to hang around? Or
would they just feed him to the wolves?

Thomas cried harder, his sobs now shaking his entire body. The
nurse wisely left the room, knowing that whatever she tried to
do would just make things worse.



manysidestome

Marcus stood up and followed her. "Hey, you there, hold it a
minute," he said. "I want a word with you." He mentally noted
that he might have to activate his eye now if she didn't stop.



iamkatara

Rachel stopped in her tracks. "What do you want. I only want
peace right now. I don't want to have anything to do with
anyone. No one." Why was he following her? She did nothing to
him! Be careful... don't let him attack. she thought.



manysidestome

"That's not the impression you gave last night," Marcus said.
"Word travels quickly in schools you know. Apparently, you've
renounced the Unwanted, and have sided with the haters. And
now, you claim to want peace and to be detatched from
everyone." He was ready to activate his eyes anytime when he
would need them. "Why trade sides so quickly, from Unwanted to
Hater, and then to nobody? It's not smart to do so, no one
will trust you and everyone will suspect you for everything."




iamkatara

SHe walked slowly to look at him. "I needed to do what I did
to stay alive. If i didn't... I would have been killed right
then and there. I don't want to be a part of this whole fight.
I'd rather just watch it from a distance. I hate when people
fight because of their differences. It proves nothing and
sometimes even gets people killed. I HATE people who fight
jsut because they think they're better than others. It defeats
the purpose." She waited for his response.



manysidestome

"Self preservation and avoidance, anything to stay alive huh?
Even if those who are different end up hurting others? Could
you live with yourself if you knew you could prevent some
accidents and deaths, but were too self involved or frightened
to do anything about it," Marcus asked.



iamkatara

She shook her head. "It wouldn't help anyone if both Jason and
I were killed, instead of just one. I was only trying to live.
You can't blame me for that." She stepped closer. "And don't
try and get me with all that chivalry and
giving-yourself-up-for-others sh**. I'm through with it. I was
just trying to keep myself alive and ok. I have friends here,
and with people getting killed..." She turned away, " please
don't fight with me. I'm done with the fighting."

manysidestome

Marcus activated his eyes, they became red, and three black
circles appeared on both. "But you want the public to be safe
don't you? You want what's best for the world? You should want
to join with the haters, to protect the public from those who
want to harm it," he said, his eyes staring straight into
hers, trying to infect her with their spell.



iamkatara

Rachel saw his eyes and knew what was happening. He was a
hater. Rachel felt a feeling but turned and ran. He wasn't
going to get her. not now. "Why won't you jsut leave me alone.
I won't tell any secrets. I won't try and get in your way!
Please! Just leave me alone," She said while running. Why did
they have to try and provoke her? She didn't want to have
anything to do with either. She should ahve never come to this
school. Rachel thought for a second. She had to outrun him and
find Raqueal.



manysidestome

Marcus's eyes saw all, and ran down another hall, quickly and
found his way in front of her again. He smiled and said,
"what's the mater? Don't you want to help us out? To keep
people from dieing horrible deaths?" He kept his eyes in hers
all while he spoke, to plant the words in her head, get her
thinking his way.



iamkatara

Rachel felt his thoughts, they were digging into her brain.
She fought it. "STOP IT!" Her eyes glowed back, piercing into
his eyes. "Leave me alone!!!"



manysidestome

"The spell... it might not get through," he muttered. "That's
it though, I still have everything else." He stepped toward
her, and said again, "You can either join me peacefully, or I
can take you to my friends, and relate everything you've said
to me."



iamkatara

(((Raqueal is in his room right?)))

Rachel smiled. "Choice C." She punched him in the face. She
ran aorund, searching for Raqueal's room. Finally she found
it. She burst through the door. "Raqueal! Help me!"



manysidestome

Marcus saw it coming and quickly mirrored it, punching her
fist and sending him back. He hurried and found a way around
to where she was headed, and quickly went into the room, which
was empty, and as soon as she burst in, projected an illusion,
which was Raqueal, held at knifepoint by himself. "Game, set,
match," he whispered, while the illusion of Raqueal breathed
hard from fear.



iamkatara

Rachel stopped dead in her tracks. "Fine. I'll help you. BUt
i'm not going to be a Hater. I'd rather be a servant at your
stupid meetings than anything else you'd have me do. I only
have one condition. You can't have anyone try and make me kill
someone, or force me into hurting or killing someone." She
pleaded into his eyes. "Please."



Plaguewalker

Dorjee, now in his human form once again, walked calmly
through the halls, his body fully covered by his trademark
robes. He came to Tobi's room, and sighed. Hopefully I didn't
do anything to upset her... He thought, before giving the door
a light knock. "Tobi?"



manysidestome

"I can't promise anything," Marcus said. "The only thing you
can do is make a request, with Scarecrow, who already believes
you to be on their side." He tossed the illusion of Raqueal to
the side, which now appeared to be unconscious. "But,
unfortunately, he isn't available until it gets dark. So we'll
just have to wait until then."



iamkatara

Rachel nodded. She knew she couldn't get away. "Could I at
least go to my room to change? I've worn this for over a day
now, and I need to do laundry." She turned to go. "You could
follow me if you really need to. I won't run. I keep my word."



manysidestome

"Oh, I had no doubts you would run or not keep your word,"
Marcus said. "After all, we're all around you, and could
corner you in a second. No, you'd be mad to try anything like
that, but it reassures me to hear you say it none the less."
He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, the
illusion droppihg and his eyes returning to normal.



iamkatara

Rachel walked to her room, kind of scared because now he knew
where she slept. She went inside and closed the door, changing
into a t-shirt and jeans with sneakers. She opened the door
and let him in. "We might as well be comfortable while we
wait."



manysidestome

"I'm pretty sure we've got classes today," Marcus said. "So
that should keep us occupied for most of the day." He looked
at his watch and said, "but there is still time before they
start. I think I'm going to get some breakfast." He walked
toward the cafeteria, but stopped. "Oh yes, let's not mention
what's happened to anyone. Like the scum, unwanted, the haters
like to keep a lowe profile."



iamkatara

She sneered at him but agreed. "Fine. I promise." She looked
around. "I might as well come with you. I'm kind of hungry
from all the running." She smiled but realized that he could
kill her at any second, so her smile faded.



Casey Jewels

Close to twenty minutes passed before Thomas's sobs abated
somewhat. Instead he just stared blankly ahead, not moving,
not thinking, not feeling. The pain inside didn't hurt as much
that way. Nor did his headache and confusion get any worse. He
felt the nurse start working on his wounds once more, but
still he just stared blankly ahead. He had never felt this way
in his life before. It was like... like his soul had been torn
in two. Everything he believed in... Everything he had been
working towards... It had all been torn away from him, just
like that.



Georgie

Tobi heard the knock and jumped a little as she was broken
from her stance. She then heard Dorjee's voice and she smiled
a little, though she sat still, her eyes still pouring tears
down her glossy face. A few moments passed, and she stood,
wiping the tears with the backs of her hands.

"H-hold on..." She said as strongly as she could, trying to
mask the tremble that still lurked within her vocal cords. She
ran her fingers through her hair quickly, pulled it across her
shoulders and wiped her face again as she opened the door, a
shaky smile upon her lips.

"Hey Dorjee."



Plaguewalker

Dorjee smiled beneath his wraps. "Hello, Tobi." He said,
before noticing her face looked a little flushed. "Is
everything okay?" He paused, thinking for a moment. "Did
Raqueal guve you your diary back?" The Unwanted watched her
carefully, wondering why she was so upset.



Georgie

Tobi nodded and showed Dorjee her diary she held within her
arms. "He did give it to me..." Tobi glanced down at her diary
as she nodded again, "i'm fine Dorjee, just a bit..." Tobi
couldn't finish her sentence before she broke, her eyes
flooding again and spilling the pearly droplets as she looked
up and shook her head, tears flinging about her eyes. "I'm
s-s-sorry..."



Plaguewalker

Dorjee frowned, unsure of what to do. "Don't be, Tobi. You've
done nothing wrong." He said, deciding on a course of action.
With a little hesitation, he pulled her into a hug. He wasn't
sure if this was the best course of action, but it felt like
the best course to take. "I'm willing to listen if you need to
get something off your chest."
