Field Showing 9,101-9,150 of 10,225

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake listened intently, at one point instinctively pulling her onto his lap as she talked and cradling her to him.
"Well, you're not there anymore. Your safe here. I would never do that to you, and if anyone wants to even think of trying something like that again... Then they'll have to go through me first."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

((YAY, I GOT IT!))
(Oh, and I have to go eat. I'll reply once I'm done though!)

[[deleted user]]

((KK! Wait.....what did you get?))

"I don't want anything to happen to you..." She didn't realize how close he was able to get to her until she couldn't push him away. But surprisingly though, she didn't want to.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

((The Italics!))

Drake pushed past the warmth that shivered down his spine, and the unusual feelings that stirred inside him. He just focused on holding on to Scarlet and comforting her.
"Don't worry about me." He said, before he smirked, a thought coming to him. "Now you're getting all sentimental on me? Ok - who are you, and what have you done to my crabcake?"

(Drake will never let that go. 3:) )

[[deleted user]]

((Ok wait a sec))

[[deleted user]]

((Haha I read the post finally XD))

She pushed away from him to see his face. "Who are you calling crabcake?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake laughed before pulling her to him again, nuzzling his face into her shoulder.
"There she is!" He laughed.

[[deleted user]]

"Oh let go of me!" She glared at him, but try as she might, she couldn't hide the tiny smile that was sneaking through.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake stood up, twisting his arms swiftly, but carefully, until he had situated her on his shoulders.
"How's the weather up there, crabcake?"

[[deleted user]]

"Awgh!" She yelled when she was lifted up. "Put me down, put me down, put me down!"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake laughed and moved towards the door, having to get down onto his knees before he could shuffle out the door. He stood and continued walking, moving towards the cabins.
"Nope, nope, nope. You'll be safe up there. The dark can't get you when you're way up there. They'll have to get past me first."

[[deleted user]]

She laughed at his ridiculous notion, but then realized what he was saying had a thread of truth running through it. Here she was outside, in the dark, except she didn't feel the overwhelming fear. It was still there, but she was kinda distracted by the person below her to really focus on anything. "Where are you taking me?"

((Does your guy have some secret or enemy?))

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

((I talked about the secret he had of that old shack that he had fixed up earlier. I can find the post, copy it and PM it to you so that you have it.))

"To my personal kingdom." He said in what was supposed to be a creep voice, but failed immensely. He carried her back out to the field and to the forest, where the darkness thickened, and to the cave. He stopped outside the mouth of the cave, feeling her legs quiver slightly on his shoulders.
"Do you want me to carry you through in my arms instead? It's almost pitch black in there at this time. Otherwise, you're more then welcome to stay where you are. We're almost there, so it won't be to much longer."

((Sent you the comment I was talking about before))

[[deleted user]]

((That is ok I have already read it :) seems really cool!))

[[deleted user]]

She breathed in deeply, "No I can do this. If a child can do it, I can do it..." She gripped him by the shoulders. He didn't know this but he has become her light. I can do this...

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Whitney wrote: "((That is ok I have already read it :) seems really cool!))"

((I know you have, but then if you need to reference off of it, then you don't have to go searching for it - you already have it.)

Drake nodded and continued forward into the cave.
"If you need to stop for a moment, or change your mind, let me know, alright?"

((Oh! ok thanks!))

"Ok, just....keep talking, distract me." She said, tightening her hold.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake thought for a moment, before speaking.
"Do you think the Lochness Monster is real? I don't. I mean, why would this huge monster stay in this one ugly and polluted lake to eat people, when it's obviously at the point where it could adapt and move to being an aquatic land animal and run across the earth to chase down his prey. Wouldn't it be more fun that way? Think about it for a moment before you laugh at me - this giant piece of wrinkly blubber of an animal, sitting in this small lake that it only JUST fits into, and waiting for people to be brave enough to go out onto to lake in a boat or to go swimming, and only eating when they do, because it's already eaten all the other life in the lake. And it's POLLUTED! I mean, who would WANT to live in a place that was more garbage than living space?! That makes absolutely no sense to me!"

(I just made something up, I had no other ideas. XD)

[[deleted user]]

((Haha it is perfect!))

"Wait what? First of all, the Lochness could have gotten so fat that it wouldn't be able to walk on land, and as for the eating thing, it could be on a diet! To loose all that fat from before. You have to feel sorry for it because sitting in all that pollution probably isn't that great for its physique." She replied. fully concentrating on just the arguing because it was the only way to distract herself, even if he brought up such a weird topic.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

"Even if - and that's a big IF - the Lochness Monster was real, all that pollution would probably have killed the ugly ol' bugger!" He replied, smiling at how she seemed to have calmed.

[[deleted user]]

She tapped him on the head. "But, like you have said before, he could have evolved, and maybe he developed a liking for pollution!"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake snorted. "As IF!" He replied. He stopped suddenly, long out of the cave, and now in front of a large hedge. He walked around it for a bit, stopping now and again to feel the hedge with his foot, before he found the opening.
"Ok... Now, this is the tricky part." He said. "This hole is small, and I can't carry you through it, so I'm going to have to put you down." He paused for a moment, and continued when she didn't respond. "This part of the forest is basically abandoned, so there is no reason to worry about anything harming you. And beyond the hedge is safe, I promise. Would you like to go in before me, or do you want me to go in and check it out anyway, just to make sure?"

[[deleted user]]

She didn't want to be on the other side without him there. "You go ahead...I will follow..."

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake hummed in reply and carefully set her down. He hurried through the hole and stretched out his hand, gently grabbing ahold of her hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Just me. I'll guide you through."

[[deleted user]]

She took another deep breath. "Ok," was all she could say.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake slowly helped Scarlet through, patiently letting her take her time. As soon as she was all the way through, he picked her up, carrying her in his arms and to the cabin. He set her down and opened the door, reaching in and flipping the light switch. He held the door open for her, following in after her and shutting the door.
"You feel better?" He asked, gently nudging her into the small living room and guiding her to a couch so she could sit.

[[deleted user]]

"Yea." The light certainly helped. Scarlet was just glad she didn't have another episode. She looked around at her surroundings. It was a cozy place, very cozy, and clean, and Drake. "Where are we exactly?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake's face heated up, and he knew he was probably as red as a ripe tomato.
"We're... We're in the forest..." He murmured, biting his lip which ached in protest. "B-But it wasn't always a forest... There are broken down buildings and things everywhere. But... This one. This one was the only one that wasn't pretty much destroyed by the overgrowth. It was beat down, but salvageable. So... I fixed it up. What do you think?"

((I have to go to bed. I'll reply in the morning, I promise!))

[[deleted user]]

((Haha ok!))

"It is beautiful! I love it!" She said enthusiastically. "You did this all by yourself?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

He rubbed the back of his neck self-consciously, shrugging modestly.

((Night!))

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

[[deleted user]]

((Haha I didn't know you replied back!))

"This is amazing! Can you build my house for me?" She asked jokingly.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

((Lol, Sorry about that. I figured you would get my last post that I posted before bed, but I guess I was a minute too late. It's ok though, I figured that's what happened when you hadn't replied. No harm done. :D ))

Drake shrugged, his face a bright red. "It's not that great... There is still some old water damage I should get rid of, and I haven't even touched the attic... It's full of dust and boxes that may or may not be empty and there is some old nests full of animal carcuses and such... This place may look ok on the outside, but it's still quite a dump...." He muttered under his breathe, his heart pounding heavily against his rib cage to the point where he was sure Scarlet could hear it.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

(You on? :( )

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

(Whitnnnnneeeeeyyyyyyy )': )

[[deleted user]]

((Haha! Well I am on now for a bit...))

"Do you mind if I...look around?" She asked hesitantly.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake hesitated, but nodded in reply.

[[deleted user]]

She got up and started looking around, amazed at the work that was done to fix the place up. She couldn't believe that he did any of this all by himself.


((Do we want something evil to happen to them? *evil laugh*))

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

((Eh, up to you. Just be careful of the house... Drakey-Babe worked so hard.... )': )

Drake patiently waited on the couch, nervously wringing his hands as he did so.

[[deleted user]]

((But they could build a new house together!!! Jk, I won't bother the house....just maybe blowup one wall ;) ))

((Sorry gtg for an hour, brb!))

[[deleted user]]

She ended up in the attic shuffling through boxes.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

(Drake will be sad.... #NoNotTheSads ... But, ok...)
((Awe... I won't be on when you get back... )': ))

Drake curled up on the couch with a yawn, closing his eyes and beginning to drift off to sleep.

[[deleted user]]

((I was just joking about the blowing up the house part if you didn't get my ;) ))

While shuffling through the boxes, she came upon a strange box. No matter which way she pulled or pushed, it wouldn't open. For some reason, she felt that it could, if gone about the right way. "Drake?" She called out.

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

(Oooohhhh ok.)
((iS THE HOUSE HAUNTED??))

Drake jumped up, suddenly on alert. He looked around, and heard his name again.
Scarlet.
He walked through the house, looking for her, and came across the open attic door in his room. At first he flushed at the though of Scarlet exploring his room in order to get into his closet and find the attic door. He shook his head and moved towards the open door, peering in.
"Scarlet? Scar, are in there?"

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

(?)

[[deleted user]]

When she didn't hear anything, she assumed he feel asleep. Scarlet focused her attention on the box. She looked at every corner and she realized that there was a tiny piece that shifted forward, revealing another piece that was then able to shift. After a couple of minutes, she shifter the last piece that revealed a hidden key. With steady hands, she pulled the key out and put it into the lock, twisting it open.

"Scarlet...Scarlet..."

Suddenly, inky black smoke was pouring out of the box, and like ghosts, multiple people she recignized from her old orphanage home poured out of the box.

"It is all your fault."

"Why did you do this to us?"

"We are dead because of you."

"No! I didn't mean too! I swear I-"

"No excuses!"

Tears started welling up in her eyes. "I am sorry! I didn't mean for it to happen!"

((Just to explain what is going on, some of Melinoe's power is stored inside the box and when she opened it, it presented her worst fears, the above is one of them. And when Drake sees it, it will present his fear too. But it is all an illusion, so if you can break it, you are free as to say))

[Shayne Elijah Winchester-Novak Benjamin Morningstar the Yellow - Eyed]

Drake heard her cries and crawled into the attic after her. He saw the black wisps of smoke before he heard them and he swiftly and quietly crawled over to Scarlet, a few of the figures glowering at him. He pulled Scarlet to him.
"What's going on...?" He asked, staring at the box curiously.
Suddenly, another mist blew towards them, and it wrapped around Drake's head, covering over him in an odd bubble like shape. When Drake tried to breathe, it was like he was breathing in water.
Water
Drake clawed at the unmoving mist desperately, his mind whirling and everything around him disappearing other than the fact that he was suddenly submerged in water and couldn't get out.

[[deleted user]]

She was hyperventilating.

Then she heard Drake's voice, and his arms wrapping around her. His warmth shocked her out of the illusion
"You can't be real...." She whispered. "You aren't real." Slowly, the black mist started dissipating, and before it could catch a hold of one of her other fears, she turned to Drake. Her eyes widened when she saw that he was in an illusion too. She wrapped her arms around him. "Shh...it isn't real Drake. You are safe."
