ஐThe Experiementsஐ {Semi - Literate ~ 14/13}

[Yuki.]

Pain. Pain was all that grace felt. Yet, it seemed as if it was an emotion, that was out of control. It was such a simple little word, pain. It would be so easy to just give up and move on. This situation would be over, the pain would be over. Everything would be done. Although the idea seemed pleasant, not now. Her whole life she gre up alone. She hated every minute, just waiting for a chance to disappear. Now, she had that chance. Shawn. The word flashed into her head. He was alive. He was going to live. She was the reason this was happening.
That morning, when she me him in the halls, he seemed like another test subject. Now, even if he didn't know it, he was the world to him. He loved her too. Grace couldn't give up, not without him. She couldn't leave him alone. Grace decided she had to fight, fight the pain. Grace kept her eyes closed, drifting off to sleep.

He shook his head, unsure of how to answer her question. There was nothing even close to a scratch on his body, and yet he had a lingering feeling that someone was out there. "No, that's not what I-" Trying to explain, he was cut off mid-sentence when a russle of leaves came and soon Lulu was throwing herself at him. "Lew!" Startled, Alec caught her and held her close. His eyes were large and shocked for a moment before he realized what was happening. They were being attacked. He couldn't let them hurt Lulu. It was almost like something clicked inside of him when the bird-like man renched the girl away from him. Warm green eyes suddenly became pure, cold black, iris, pupil, even the whites of his eyes were pure solid black. Since he could no longer see, he had to relie{Sp?} on his ears to tell him where people were.
At the first sounds of people moving, Alec back up against a tree. Which was easy considering they were in the forest. With his back against the solid trunk of the tree, and his arms barely licking with flames, he waited. He knew that Lew was gone somewhere, taken by others, and he would have to try and catch up to them later. Right now there was no time to worry about getting to her, he was going to be pretty busy with these guys. Alec's hand shot out when he heard someone close to him, and by the way a shrill screech filled the air he guessed that the man was now on fire or badly burned.
Before he had a chance to react someone had lunged and was digging claws into his left shoulder and chest. Not giving the man the satisfaction of having him scream, Alec roughly turned and tried to ram him into the tree. He only dug the claws deeper into his shoulder. Something scraped against something, and a scream tore through his throat. The fire brightened to a fiery blue and ingulfed his whole frame. The man tried to move away, but his claws were firmly stuck in both Alec and tree bark.
With his body covered in hot flames, no one tried to come at him other then those stupid enough to get scortched by the fire. It took exactly three minutes for it to die back down to his hands, and even before it had started to die down a little people were charging and lunging at him.
It was like a whole new world. Not even with Unknown had his power's acted the way they were, not even when he held Lulu.
It took mere seconds for the flames to come back, but this time they were bigger, larger, hotter, and covered about three yards in circumfrence. Everyone in that distance was either killed, slowly dying, or given a third degree burn. Alec himself was leaning heavily on his good shoulder, skin a very delicate shade of pink from the heat. He needed to get to Lulu, but at the moment he couldn't move one foot without collapsing. There was no way he was going to get to the girl until he had time to rest a moment.

Lulu Copper

Thread of time, lovers kiss.
I can't know what these feelings are, but I have them with you, and I miss them without you.
. : .

She could feel the fire burning her from behide her. Her back could feel the light burning as they dragged her towards a unknown region as well as father from Alec. Her mind burned with fire inside her eyes, and even her blue eyes of color slowly drained away like a sucking force dragging the color form the depths of her sea to let black of darkness come to there holes of lifelessness. Then as if dragged into her own distant planet of nothing her mind was sucked out form her body. Her body no longer held close, though trapped like a rat inside a mouse trap to the back edges of her mind as it went blank inside her body.
The bird like men dragged her along, unknowning of the danger they placed themselves in as there walking grew more slower against her arms showing eyes peeking up towards a white building appearing in the black orbs of her eyes. Though before they reached the middle view of the building in her sight she ripped her arms away form there grasp to slam into a back of another man following her back. He didn't move a inch. She turned to face him her eyes black, and her skin growing a pale white. Even her once golden leaf brown hair began to have blackness coming form her scalp as it moved down the hair in a flow of a rolling wave. The bird men didn't move towards or or away though watched her carefully.
She did the same to them, but before even advancing a soft crack in her spine send her rolling forward onto the ground on her hands in pain. A scream ripped though her back to echo into her voice in a scream as the black darkness took over her skin in another wave, and her eyes once black bleeded out into a monsterous like blood pitched red of her bleeding blood. She was no longer standing, no longer even human, but now a monsterous like dog with dripping white fangs, red glowing eyes, and a coat that shimmered with blackness as it flowed behide her like a trailing comet's tail. This was the blacken heart, something powerful, monsterous, and deadly in wrong hands of humans who wanted it for greed. Yet in this form, killing was pleasure, blood was delight, and suffering was joy in the eyes of black heart. She knew the flame was growing inside her ever moment, yet as soon as she was able to tell him her mouth caught or somethign blocked her from speaking the words of this. Now with him unknown to this she knew he might just kill her without knowing who she was. A snarl torn though the creatures large teeth as a paw step forward advanced her towards the guards who held her inside a cage like a dog, and supirsing the bird men only smiled as from flick of her ear she turned to meet a whip on her neck. The whip wrapped around her neck like a snake to cut off air as in her size of a horse she jerked forward to free herself from the rope. Though the man owning the whip knew this, his thumb moving towards a button on the whip that sent out electric jolts thoughout the whips tangled vine to hit her in the process. She roared out in flashes of pain as the venomness whip burned her neck inside and out though the hole ordeal of changing, then getting beaten up like a mutt she was. No longer able to fight the pain her knees buckled form under her sending her falling hard onto the ground below where soft grass mostly grabbed her in the fall. As the silky sweet emerald green grass tangled into her misting black fur with the sunlight fading above her blackened head she dived into her memories andthe last thing she brought up before a black out was the soft sweet memories of Alec's kiss he gave her for her first time to send her spinning down into blackness with only th memory to cling to.

Breath coming out in a rythme, the girl raced towards were that other girl was. The one with pretty red hair that was being taken away. She wasn't going to let those monsters' come and kill the girl she had been working so hard on stalking. It had taken her two weeks to find her, and now her whole plan was ruined. Jumping over bushes and short trees, she let her white dress flow around her legs in an arc. All that was needed was for her to get to the one called Lulu. Her job was to protect the auburn haired one and the blond. Her penalty for failing this mission was death. The one before it had failed so many years ago, that now they were relying on her to get the job done right. She should have put a stop to this years ago. That, or she could've taken the two by force and many of the others.
When the raven haired girl finally reached where Alec was, she hissed with detaste. He was daddling. Reaching behind her back, the girl pulled a sword from its sheath. The sound of metal against leather drew just about everyone's attention that was surrounding the poor kid again. This needed to end here and now. Swirling it to show off a little of her skills, Z let her feet come up and off the ground. In a full half second she was driving her sword into someone's back. They didn't even have time to scream before they were slumped on the ground. Good, for once it was easy. Looking up to locate her next target, she realized almost all of them were already dead. What the heck was that about? She glared up at the boy and realized he was slumped down against the tree himself. His skin was an odd shade of grey and pink. Had he burned himself? A fierce glare replaced her surprised face, and she quickly finished off the last few men with her sword. The iron of it was flexible yet sturdy, and the ends and tip were razor sharp. They could cut through anything from paper all the way to bone in one solid strike. No jagged lines or breaks other then for a clean cut through the object. Z took pride in her sword skills, after all, it wasn't often you met a young girl who could brandish a sword and was said to be over a thousand years old. Plus the fact she had feathers on the ends of her ears and small wings attached to her ankles.
She couldn't stay here, she needed to get after the more important matter at hand. They could not lose that girl to the labs. It was a complete breach in their plans if they couldn't get her. At least Z hoped it was her, they were in the right generation and place, though they might have gotten the date wrong by several months. It was clear Alec and Lulu had met, but just how far had their meeting gone? If a battle had taken place between the two they weren't the right ones. Shaking her head to dislodge her doubt, Z dashed quickly forward to feel the boy's pulse. Strong but getting weaker. Her free hand felt around her waist for the vial. It had taken a lot in those bloody berries to get him fully healed again so she hoped there was enough left over. Ripping the glass bottle from a cord of leather the raven haired girl uncorked it with her teeth. She peered catiously inside. Half a bottle left, if not less.
Not even caring about were all he was hurt, she just shoved him to the ground with a firm hand on a shoulder. A yelp made his whole frame shutter, and liquid black eyes seemed to stare straight at her. Chills ran down her spine, and with a whimper of her own Z had shot to her feet. Her sword hand curled around the grip on the handle. The boy didn't move, and to her horror she watched his eyes turn a variety of colors. Blood red, warm grey, ashy black, and finally a soft green with flecks of grey. There was no emotion in them at all.
Afraid her mission was failed already, Z dropped the sword and got to her knees. As she fumbled for a pulse she jolted when she felt his hand grab her wrist. He was mouthing words. Which meant he was still alive. "Shut up, it can wait." The girl shoved the vial's neck into his mouth to make him stay quiet. Carefully she tipped the bottle and tried to get him to swallow the contents. It apprently took him a second to get the flavor on his tongue, as his reaction was delayed.
She was ready for when he tried to spit it out. The only reason he had taken it before was because it was in the berries. If he didn't swallow any of the clear blue liquid then she might loose him. And if he was lost, who knew how Lulu might react. "Swallow, now." Z flexed her sword hand as if threatening him. To her happiness he swallowed the contents. When she finally pulled the glass bottle from his teeth she saw with content he was already starting to heal. His skin was practically glowing green by the time it started to fully kick in.
She loved this generation's potions, they acted like magic yet were just a simple drug one could get from a convience store.
Taking the color of his shirt in her hands, she made quick work of hauling him to his feet. At first he wobbled as if unsteady, but soon was fit to walk. There was still obvious pain in his eyes, as if the potion wasn't working fully, but Z didn't question it. Her only movements were grabbing his forearm and ran towards were Lulu's screams were. If those people hurt her or tried to take something in greed, this day was going to get a whole lot more complicated. Her fingers itched around her sword, and she found herself making figure eights around herself and Alec. Hopefully that stupid boy knew enough by now not to try anything like running off. Then again he had been stupid enough to not learn his powers fully in the labs before setting off. He needed to learn all he could do, and quickly. Even Z herself knew more about his powers then he did. If he wasn't so stupid then she might be afraid of him. Anyone would be afraid of him if he and Lulu came together as a team. Not that intimacy had any place in the team factor. In fact, it would probably shatter everything that her speciel team had planned out.
Zee glanced over her shoulder at the boy. His free hand had strayed to his right shoulder and was pressed down hard on it. Her eyes widened. He was still bleeding. Heavily. What had he done now? She dug her heels into the soft grass and turned to face him. "You are hurt." Hey, no one said she didn't state the obvious, right? She didn't give him a chance to speak as she came up to him and roughly shoved his hand away from the wound. The sight of his gapping wound almost made her sick. White bone was visible. How did he even keep up with her? He had to be in terrible pain, and yet... A sudden grin broke out onto her face. He was indeed who they thought he was.
"Uh-" He shifted his feet as if unnerved by her grin.
Z only laughed in responce and grabbed his arm again. If they could catch up to Lulu then this day would go exactly as planned. Missions were always suppose to go exactly as planned out, but with these two it was hard to even know what they were going to do. She had actually lost track of them the night before, much as she hated to admit it. Their staying by the lake had surprised her whole gang, and when she had finally arrived to them the girl was starting to wake up. Z's eyes glanced over the landscape around them. Green forest was starting to break and show a white marble palace type building. She did not know this place. While her eyes took everything in, she missed Alec's startle. The next thing she knew he was racing off towards a group of people around a wolf like creature.
Her eyes grew large at the monster-looking dog. The hands around her sword twitched like she was nervous and scared. The girl... was... the ... the creature. Z knew now that with these two nothing was going to go as planned. Even as Alec flung himself at a man his body blacing with fire, she was in a dase still. Her sword hand quivered again, and she was suddenly in a very likely position to drop the sword. This wasn't the plan. This wasn't the plan at all.

{ Eh, hehe... Last part was a little rushed, sorry. xD New character, }

His fingertips brushed wisps of her soft white-blond hair from her pale face. He ran both hands through her soft hair to sooth both himself and Grace. It looked like she was asleep now, but one could never be sure if it was sleep or unconsciousness. He leaned foreward a bit and touched his lips to her forehead. Her skin was cold at his touch, though he knew his body was not generating ice to make her that way. She was simply cold because she had no source of heat in her at the moment. A small smile tugged at the corners of Shawn's lips. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep. Glancing over to Elizabeth and Jake, he realized that he should probably take her back to her room. If someone saw the four of them hanging out in the hall-way they would probably all get in trouble. They were in enough trouble as it was, let alone to add more to it.
Shawn nodded to the burnette. He made quick and careful work of standing and taking Grace's body into his arms. Gingerly shifting her until her head was positioned on his shoulder, he glanced over again at Jake. If it hadn't been for his help then they wouldn't be here now, and Grace would most likely be dead. Poor little Grace... He stroked the back of her silky hair with his free hand. Since most of his frame still ached from their earlier fight, he was carrying her in a backwards piggy-back style. Her legs were around his waist while her arms were tucked close to her body. Shawn though he'd done pretty well in getting her all set for walking to her room considering she was asleep and no help.
As he walked to her room, Shawn let his arms get more comfortable holding her up. With one just under her shoulder blades to keep her up right, he let the other relax a little more as it was only holding her legs up. He had to pause every once in a while to shift her back into a more comfortable position for them both. Finally he was ready to just walk to her room without distraction or interruption. Somewhere during the walk he got tired of staring at the bland white walls and white tiled floors. He could only lean his chin on her shoulder and hope they got to her room soon for her sake.
Walking up to her door, Shawn didn't know why but he softly rapped on her door. No answer, which was good considering it was her room. When he swung the wood door open, he grimaced at the creak it made. For some reason he was on edge as he stepped into the room. His sneakers squeaked on the tile as he walked towards her bed to lay her down. He'd gotten about three steps when he felt a hand on his shoulder. A hand that didn't belong to Grace. Shawn spun towards the newcomer quickly, his eyes searching for anything he could use as a weapon in case of a fight. To his surprsie, a boy a bit shorter then him with raven black hair was staring at him with wide eyes. The kid had to be no older then thirteen, and yet he seemed to have far more wisdom to him then what his age looked like. Shawn relaxed as he took in this new person. He was wearing white leggings with a white and silver trimmed tunic. It looked like the guy belonged in the ancient days. Way, way back before even the least modern things came out. He looked before the 1950's even, and those days were long gone. Strapped to the boy's side was a sword's sheath, as well as a small glass vial.
Shawn starred at the kid for what was longer then nessary, trying to take him in. Why was he here, and what was his intentions? "Hey, kid-"
"Give her this," Before Shawn even had the chance to say anything he'd been interrupted and the glass vial containing a thick blue liquid was trust into his hands. "What-"
"Healing potion, give her the whole thing. She mustn't spit any out." Again with being interrupted? He was getting tired of not having the chance to speak. Maybe he wouldn't even give Grace the liquid now, see how the kid liked that. Shawn gave the kid a smug looked turned to set Grace down on the bed again. This time he made it and was able to gently set her on the mattress. A genuine smile again broke out of his face as he gazed down at her. He forgot all about that other boy, and had leaned in to kiss her forehead again when a sharp blow to his back made him spin around. The boy was glaring at him, one hand pointed at the potion, the other gripping his sword handle.
Shawn sighed, so it was down to this. Who was this kid anyway? He seemed friendly enough, and he wasn't getting any cold vibes from him, but what if he was trying to poison Grace instead of heal her? What if something bad happened when he gave this to the white-blond haired girl? He gazed over at her again, the vial in his hands as he watched her silently.

{ Thought I'd say- I'm having a person from Z's 'team' come gather everyone together. :3 }

Lulu Copper

Thread of time, lovers kiss.
I can't know what these feelings are, but I have them with you, and I miss them without you.
. : .

Burning steam of pain rushed deep into her mind as it burned with fire against the power, yet to her surpirse her eyes slit open a inch or so to let the last light of sunlight pool into her eyes. The sun was deep red like the blood of her own blood, but everything was the same. Though unable to move her mouth to speak, her legs like rocks against the ground, and her lungs barely taking in breaths she just relaxed as the light dimmed against her shadowing like coat against the cold flowing brezze that came though the trees.
--
Owner of the whip smiled with a grin as Alec jumped straight into the fray liek he planned to save Lulu. Stepping forward he held out his hands with one gripping the wrapped up whip tightly as if ready. "Hello Alec, and Unknown little girl," he said evily his voice proud for some unknown reason. "Wondering about this thing here right," he motioned to the large dog that sprayed against rhe ground in a look of uncomfortable postion. "Well here we have effects of the black heart, and I plan to use that from this creature to use on all, and o' Automen, take them down. I want them ready for the experiment, and also don't try to kill them. "You section," he said pointing to a tiny group of the first arriving auto's. "Place this thing onto some wheels to load it inside, or carry it. But, hurry!" he said with a snap of his jaws before the auto's got to work on carrying the wolf inside by legs or joints of the body.
--
Lulu could feel herself begin lifted above in the air, her head dropping down from the grass to onto someones back like a limp little rag doll. It was as if all nerves was fried like a fire, and her mind already worn didn't want to correct it. In the corner of her eyes as the blackness again began to snap her back to the dark corners of her midn once more she could see a glint of Alec's locks of hair as the remaining auto's surrounded them as well as a new girl in the background. With his hair blowing up by a sudden gust of wind she silently hoped with her heart that that would not be the last time she would see him as her eyes for her own body faded away into pits of black once more.
