Ended :)

[Rose.]

Charlie pursed his lips frantically. "Do you know anything that will make her come out of the kid, and distract her...? I can make it appear as an illusion. Please, anything you know of that will make her either afraid or want to fight...?"

[Solanum]

Merr shook his head, sighing. "I don't know. I'm sorry..." He really wanted to help Ivan, but he wasn't sure how... He need help.

[Fatal Star Syndrome]

The voice had changed. It wasn't warning him anymore...it was...laughing? Why? What was funny? Ivan tried to ignore it now but it only kept talking. Something about love and friendships, was that it? He tossed the thought away, did those things ever matter to him? He couldn't remember. Instead of bothering with trying to figure it out he listened to the laughter again. Or at least he tried. Something, or someone on the outside was shaking him. Why...? He wondered, the question seeming very loud in his mind when he didn't have to worry about anything else. For some reason it made him sad but the pain in the back of his head was enough to switch his focus again, it was growing too. On the outside Ivan eye was beginning to close, but not before tears rolled down his pale face, first clear and then becoming red with blood, again, as Ebony pulled at his powers. His body had realized some of the sorrow he had felt inside, if only for a moment, and had hurried to display the feeling.

[Nostalgia]

"I'm so sorry, Merr. I never meant to hurt you. This is just what we do. I-" Amiselle started, trailing off when Charlie ran up. She thought for a minute, dragging out the memories of her fight with Ebony and finally answered. "She's do pompous for her own good. She wants to be able to control people, she loves making them miserable. If she sees something she wants, she will go to huge lengths to get it. If we could only think of something that she would desire more than Ivan's power, she would leave him alone...What's your power?" she suddenly asked Charlie, an idea beggining to blossom in her head.

(So, I thought, why not mix darkness and light and see what good will come of it?))

[Crabbiey]

Whay what? Ebony asked, she laughed as she started to drain quicker now. Causing pain, she was enjoying this.

[forbidden.]

Steph looked between the cluster of creatures and sighed, remembering the fight that Ebony and Zack had. She gracefully moved back over to where Rose and Ivan were and tapped Rose on the shoulder, "Uh...Zack might come in handy." She whispered, shuddering at the thought of getting him to help. She knew that Zack distracted Ebony, so he might be useful to get her out...If only they could get him to co-operate.

[Rose.]

As Ivan's eye fluttered closed, tears ran down his face slowly, followed by red ones. The crimson liquid that stained his face made her scream. "Ivan! No!" Her first assumption was that he was dying, and she wanted to take his place. Her entire body ached as she watched him, he couldn't die. He couldn't. Rose screamed, "Help! Please!" More tears ran down her face as she shook Ivan again, "Ivan, Please! Don't leave me, please." Her voice turned into a whisper as she begged for him to live. Shifting her body, she crossed her legs and heaved Ivan into her lap. If Ivan died, she'd go with him, she'd force someone to kill her. She couldn't live without him. It just wasn't possible for her to do that. "You have to live," She whispered in a broken voice to him, shaking her head and whimpering. She managed to bring her head up to see Steph, her look was pained, she tugged her head in the direction of Merr and the others. "Tell them that, I'm useless." She whispered to her.

Charlie shot Merr a distressed look, "I-Is he dying?" He asked in a murmer to him, looking over to Rose and Ivan and frowning. "She really loves him, doesn't she..." It was more a statement than a question. But he didn't bother to justify it. Shaking his head, he looked back to Merr. "If he is, then we have to save him." Turning to Ami, he nodded. "I can make things appear. Although they'll just be illusions, they look completely solid. I can also transport within shadows..." He explained, "Oh, and I have wings." A slight smile came to his lips as he added the last part. He loved being able to fly, but now was not the time to think of that.

[forbidden.]

Steph nodded to Rose and gave her a quick, reassuring hug before jogging over to to where Merr and Amiselle were and putting up her hand, "I have a suggestion...That may help..." She said softly, not wanting to interfere but she wanted to help Rose and in order to help Rose she had to help Ivan.

[Solanum]

Merr whined, nuzzling Ami's side. He looked back at Ivan and Rose, growling. What could they do to stop her? There had to be something, or someone... What about that boy that had angered her back there. He had an idea, but he wasn't sure if it would work. "Charlie..." His voice was barely audible to humans, but he didn't care. He didn't want it heard. "Charlie... If we get her out, could you make an illusion of Ivan?"

[Rose.]

Charlie nodded sharply to Merr, "Of coarse." He said and then turned to Steph, "Yes?" He raised his brows and frowned slightly at her. Whatever they were going to do, they needed to do it fast. Ebony or whoever she was, was killing Ivan at a fairly fast rate. And they needed to get her out, or Ivan would be dead.
