William instantly jumped up at that. "Well, we need to find her," he said desperately, but Jared carefully put a hand on his shoulder. "Buddy, you need to calm down. I am sure she is somewhere. I mean, we all ended up here right?" Jared insisted, before he turned to Allie. "If you can use our powers, we can use ours, right?"

[`sappho]

allie blinked, "well i don't know but i guess you can try and use your powers", she said with a shrug then looked around and heard a faint scream. she jumped up then raced towards the scream, desperate to see who or what it had come from. it could possibly be addison or cosette for all she knew.

[teeshirt.]

Just as William was about to do just that, there was the scream. He wasn't going to waste any time. If it was Addison, he was going to do all that he could to save her. "Let's go," he said desperately as he took off on a run to where the scream had sounded. He almost tripped several times since he wasn't quite fully healed yet.

[`sappho]

allie pushed herself to stop as she realized that destiny wouldn't be able to keep up with them but just as she did that destiny took off into the air using her creamy white wings and flying along with them as they ran. as they got closer to the scream allie could see the white rooms starting to get darker until they came to a black room that had a large blood trail leading into the next room where allie could see flickering lights and suddenly heard a painful scream. she started to shake, now scared for her life.

[teeshirt.]

William felt his pulse begin to rise when he heard the screams and saw the blood trail. All he could think about was Addison, and the fact that it could be her in there. He desperately turned to Allie. "Allie...Allie," he said, resting a shaking hand on her shoulder. "Stay here with Jared. I am going to go see who is in there. If I don't come back, run. Run for your life, and try to find them. Maybe it isn't even Addison or Cosette in there, but if it is one of them, I want you, Jared, and Destiny to go and try to find whoever is missing. Okay?" he whispered. Before she could protest, he turned and threw the door open to the room.

[`sappho]

allie nodded, "okay", she rasped in her shaky voice. she looked at jared and watched as destiny flew down and ran over to allie hugging her leg. she looked back at jared from destiny. "i'm scared", allie said quietly.

the inside of the room was large and dark, lit by small dusty lanterns on the walls which didn't give off much light but the real fright was the two figures chains to the walls, legs and arms spread a fall as possiable. one was addison and one was cosette but they were both blood and had many wounds but that still wasn't the most frightening thing, there was a figure hooded in black holding a cat of nine tails[a whip with nine "tails", glass attacked to all of them] and a long knife.

Jared pulled Allie into a tight hug. Not sure if he was trying to comfort himself more or her, he held her close. He then looked deeply into her eyes and placed his hands on either side of her face. "Allie, no matter what happens, I want you to know that...," he began, but his voice trailed. Could he say it? Could he say the words? "I love you," he whispered. He could. He could say the words.

Squinting in the dim lighting, William tried to calm down. They couldn't be in here. They had to be safe! These were the words he continued to tell himself, but he knew very well he could lose the love of his life, and that alone broke his heart into two. When his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness, he inched around, using the wall slightly for support. He came to an abrupt halt, however, when he saw two figures plastered to the wall by chains. He didn't need to see to guess who the two were, and the cloaked figure definitely didn't look friendly. His heart rate sped up, but this also influenced his powers. His palms tingled, and his rage strengthened. As flames burst from his fingers, he said in a raspy voice, "Let. Them. Go."

[`sappho]

Allie wrapped her arms around Jared, still shaking and trying not to cry because she didn't want to make Destiny even more scared. she heard what Jared and she blushed then pulled her had back so she could look him in the eyes. she smiled then quickly kissed him on the lips then said, I love you too".

the figure looked at William then let out a hoarse laugh and said, "never, you will be next", then lifted his hands and suddenly William's powers vanished. "you are nothing without those flames, first I will take your power then your life even though I added a third step for the girl's, I took away their dignity but they will die soon", he said with a laugh. he suddenly lifted his whip and struck Addison across the chest which was only lightly covered with clothes. she yelled in pain but it was easy to see that she could hardly even do that. "just kill me already and get it over with", she begged, crying. The figure smiled then said, "with pleasure".

[teeshirt.]

Jared felt the worry, and William hadn't made it out yet. Sure, it hadn't been that long, but it felt like years. The worry seemed to melt away, at least for a moment, when he and Allie kissed. She was like the cure to his worrying, aside from Destiny's power that is. He held her close and glanced to Destiny. "And I love you too, you little squirt," he whispered, ruffling her hair. He was trying to make light of the situation.

Without his powers, William felt...well, powerless. His arms and legs felt like dead weight, and he could barely remain standing, let alone fight the figure. He pressed his hand flatly against the wall to attempt to remain upright. "Please," he said weakly. "Please don't kill them," he pleaded, finally turning to the figure. He glanced at Addison and felt his heart break at her pleas. "Don't kill them. Let them go...and kill...kill me instead. They've suffered enough," he whispered. Addison couldn't die. He wouldn't be able to stand it. "Don't hurt her anymore than you already have." He looked at Addison in the eye the best that he could in the much too dark room. He tried to tell her with that look what he couldn't say aloud. That he loved her. That he wished he could save them. But he was nothing without his powers. He had lived so long with them that he didn't know how to live without them.

allie smiled and hugged destiny and jared close. "i am so glad to have both of you", she said with a happy cry. she didn't know why she was crying like this because she never had, she had cried when a hunter shot her and when she had -not trying to- killed a bird. she knew that she was a nymph and she couldn't really feel live at all but now for the first time she had felt this weird feeling, her heard was racing.

addison heard what william had said and her eyes shot open. her blue orbs shot to the dark figure, "no, don't hurt william," she said to the figure. the figure seemed to laugh or chuckle or something of that sort. "what if I just killed you, girl then killed your little boyfriend?" it said. "then i would kill you," cosette said quietly, speaking for the first time. "you stupid up," it said then lifted it's hand and whipped her across the stomach making cosette cry in pain.
