"Not surprised to see I didn't die?"

[Breanna Joy]

"You seem to have a habit of doing that."

[Elizabeth]

If he wanted her dead he should finish the job instead of just leaving her there to die. She didn't say that though.

Though the fire hurt that was what helped him escape the vines a few moments after being dragged in when they burned away. He quickly got out of the fire and out it out on himself.

[Breanna Joy]

The vines wrapped around him again, squeezing his throat this time.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Katava moved the fire so it was just on JJ.

[Breanna Joy]

((on or around?))

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

((On))

[Breanna Joy]

He screamed.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Emma nodded to Ian, hoping he could get something from him.

[Breanna Joy]

He stumbled away, trying to escape the burning fire eating his flesh.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Katava realized what exactly she had done and stopped out of panic.

[Elizabeth]

Scarlett watched her brother for a second before going to help Ian get out of the vines at his throat. He gave her a nod .pf thanks, focusing once more on reading JJs mind.

[Breanna Joy]

JJ closed his eyes in pain, crumpling to the ground, his legs useless now. The vines around Ian shriveled as he lost focus.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Emma was shocked and glanced at Alberon.

[Elizabeth]

"Why are you collecting slaves?" Ian asked him.

[Breanna Joy]

Alberon gave Katava a nod. Smart to go for the legs. The air was filled with the stench of burned flesh.

[Breanna Joy]

JJ wasn't really listening, the pain too immediate on his mind.

[Elizabeth]

Ian frowned, asking again, louder.


((Gtg soon. Work 8-5 tomorrow))

[Breanna Joy]

JJ raised his head and glared up at him, silent. His thoughts focused on power.

[Elizabeth]

"What happens to them if you die?"

Scarlett was watching.

[Breanna Joy]

He suspected they would be freed, but wasnt sure. He said, "Do you really want to take that risk?"

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Katava was staring wide eyed at the damage she had done.If Alberon approved then...

[Breanna Joy]

Alberon watched JJ grimly.

[Elizabeth]

Ian glanced at the others. "He isn't sure. He thinks they'll be free though."

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

"How can you not be sure?" Emma asked JJ.

[Breanna Joy]

He grinned despite the pain. "It's never happened before."

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Fair point. "Look, most of us here are WTS. I just want to know what your intentions are and see if they benefit us in any way."

[Elizabeth]

Ian also read Emma's mind. then to see what she was thinking.

Scarlett glanced st Emma. She may be WTS but she'd rather see her brother dead before he caused more trouble.

[Breanna Joy]

"Oh, yes, no harmful intentions at all. The fact that I won't be able to walk for months was just a happy accident."

[Elizabeth]

"Well maybe you're finally getting what you deserve after all these years Joseph."

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Katava felt awful now. I did this.. Monster.. I'm a monster..

[Breanna Joy]

He smirked.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Emma was thinking about how they could play it all to their advantage. "What about Milo?"

[Elizabeth]

Scarlett had her arms crossed as she glared st her brother.

[Breanna Joy]

"What ABOUT Milo?"

[Breanna Joy]

Alberon watched.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

"What about him? Well, are you guys friends or enemies?"

[Breanna Joy]

"Good question."

[Elizabeth]

Ian read his mind again to see what he was thinking about it.

[Breanna Joy]

He was thinking back to the encounter he had had with Chase.

[Elizabeth]

Ian was trying to get as many details of the encounter as he could.


Thunder was rumbling a little bit thanks to Scarlett.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Kat looked up at the sky, slightly confused.

Emma watched Ian momentarily before adding, "Are you trying to take his place?"

[Breanna Joy]

He shrugged. He was just here to carve out his space. For now, he'd rather work with Chase than take him out--he wasn't sure he was strong enough yet--but figured he would have eventually. ideally he'd get Chase in a deal.

[Elizabeth]

"Thinking of eventually taking him out. right now more of a deal."

[Breanna Joy]

JJ's eyes cut to Ian. "Do you mind?"

[Elizabeth]

Ian gave a hint of a smile.

Scarlett was standing near Kat, muttering 'sorry' though the thunder rumbled again and clouds were moving in.

[Breanna Joy]

JJ shifted so that his back was against a tree and his ruined legs stretched out in front of him.

[notyourfriend, May we meet again]

Emma smirked. "And why do you need slaves?"

Katava felt like running away. Everything felt too close to her. Her instinct was to call Nathan, but she knew she couldn't. Not now. Who knew when she could again. She didn't know how to feel or what to think. Kat couldn't tell if she was mad at Nate, and if so, for what? It's a mess. All of it. I need to get out of here, but there is no way out.

[Breanna Joy]

Power.

[Elizabeth]

Ian reported his answer.
