Aiden was confused, but he understood the last part, so he nodded. "Thank you." he looked over at Troy. "Is he alright? And why is Owen's face red? Is he bleeding too?"
Calin went back to the attic. He had found enough decent food to help calm him. He laid on his back, looking up at the ceiling, spiderwbs and dust covered it. Calin sighed. He shivered a little and looked to his left. A spirit of a girl sat cross-legged beside him, leaning back on her hands, but she was staring at him. She looked around sixteen, maybe a little older. Calin sat up and looked at her. A spirit that had had enough willpower and mind to make a decision whether to pass on or stay. She had stayed. She wore a long, plain dress, barefoot, and had long brown hair, and blue eyes. "Did you die in the shooting?" Calin asked casually. She shook her head. "No. I died a few weeks ago. My Name's Sevira." "Calin." Sevira nodded. "Hello," She kept looking at him, blue eyes bright. "I will help you. You can't quite keep a leash on your power over the dead." Calin's purple/blue eyes sparked. "You can help." He narrowed his eyes. "Why?" The girl just laughed. "Because you are the only one I've talked to who has accepted me as a spirit." Calin looked at the ground. "Alright." She disappeared.

"I can only fly when my wings are out, and sadly I have no control over when they come out." Owen started to wrap the strips of shirt around Lee's waist. "The more time you waste trying to get me to find her the less time she has to live. I really wish I could help but you're faster on foot than me!"
Mod
"I'm alright. Don't worry about me." Aiden looked up at Troy. "I can help you look if you want...." Maybe this time he would do something right.
"Let Neves take care of Aiden." Owen finished wrapping the cloth and tied it tight, but not tight enough to hurt much. "Hopefully I didn't mess up and that'll do for now." He looked at Lee's face to make sure she was doing okay.
Calin wondered what Sevira's intentions were. He was not stupid. He knew that every spirit that stayed had a reason to live still, but because they were dead they had to move on. What did Sevira want? It could be she truely was just lonely, or it could be that she wanted to use him for something. Maybe revenge, or maybe it was nothing at all. Sevira had been gone a few minutes, but already Calin had contemplated what he was going to do.
Mod
By how the grown people around him were talking, Aiden felt like a burden, extra, unneeded burden. He sat, silent, and watched everyone.
Mod
"Really, you guys?" Neves said with a frown. With that, she stood up and took off running, her mechanical limbs taking over and giving her that extra burst of speed. She figured that Nana was still in the bus, so she ran to the road. The bus was on it's side, and there seemed to be no sign of life. Neves jumped onto the side of the bus facing upwards, and kicked a window in. She dropped into the bus, and found Nana. Alive or not, she lifted her up, and got her through the open window. She then pushed herself through, and grimaced as the glass that hadn't come out when she kicked the window scraped her back. She stood, and picked Nana up in her arms. Neves began running back to them, careful not to jostle the unconscious Nana.

Mod
Aiden felt his head move forward, but nothing else. "No... Why?"
Owen shot up his patience completely gone. "That is not fair! If your so worried about your precious Nana then you should have gone to get her yourself! Now just leave me alone!" He spun around and stalked off into the forest. He just had to get my blood boiling. He took a deep breath as his skin started to burn again.
Mod
She slowed her pace, and came back to the clearing. She set Nana down gently, and gave Troy a chilling glare. "Why didn't one of you want to go get her?"
Ava Fompledump wrote: ""Your such a damn flirt Owen!" Troy growled. "Hmm." Troy said looking back at Aiden. "Well thats not good..."""What's a damn flirt?" Aiden asked.
Mod

"Oh..." Aiden thought about this. "Should I call him that then...?"
Mod
Aiden looked at Troy. "Alright..." He didn't know what he was saying.. But if Troy said that he should call Owen that, then he supposed he should.
"Who says I'm bottling up my anger?" Owen didn't face him, if he did it would probably just trigger his phoenix blood again.

"Just stop speaking, and listen to me for a moment." She said, her anger at both Troy and Owen overtaking her. "If you hadn't noticed, Troy, you were the only one not bleeding. A metal pole pierced my shoulder in the bus wreck. This shirt wasn't always red. I don't know or care why Owen didn't want to go get her. You aren't the king, and we are not your servants. You cant order Owen to go get her when you were perfectly suitable for the task yourself. Why you had to sit here and argue over who got her confuses me. I'm not happy with Owen, either. In fact, the only one of you I'm not angry with is Aiden, who, despite his head injury, hasn't once lashed out at someone else or thought himself better than the rest of us. If this is going to work, we need to just freaking respect each other, and acknowledge that no single person is higher than the rest. I sympathize with your reasoning, Troy. Yes, Owen does have wings, and yes, he wasn't injured, and maybe he was just flirting, but you can't ignore the fact that you wouldn't get her either. First aid was taken care of, and yet you sat idly by, choosing to argue with Owen over who had to save Nana. She might have died by the time one of you forced the other to go. The only way that this thing, whatever our small little group has, is going to work is if no one considers themselves above the rest of us." She sat down next to Aiden, and lifted her shirt to see the scrapes in her side from the glass shards were bleeding more than normal. "Great," she muttered to herself. She sighed, and looked up at them again. "I've said my piece, and I apologize if I stepped on anyone's toes."
Mod
Aiden looked at Neves, his golden eyes peering out at her through golden bangs. "Are you.. Bleeding.. Too?"
Mod
((I applaud your speech...))"It's not like I'm trying to hide it anymore." Owen growled. "Now if you excuse me I have to get out of this forest before I start a forest fire." He headed out of the woods just wishing that whole scene with Troy had never happened. Maybe he should have just left Lee in Rei's care and gone to get Nana.
She nodded at Aiden, and returned her attention to Troy. "Then stop ordering the rest of us around like dogs," she spat. "I was already caring for Aiden. If I recall, you were the only one without a task. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with Owen, but I didn't see him order people around on multiple occasions, and can you blame him for wishing to stay and care for Lee? Wouldn't you have done the same, in his position?"
Aiden looked at Troy. "You helped me... So you could help Neves."
Mod
Aiden looked at the ground. "Stop." He said quietly. "You're both yelling..." He narrowed his yellow eyes.
Mod
"I actually am the one who stopped his head from bleeding, and I was sitting right next to him when you wrapped his hands. It also won't work if there's no standard of respect." She stopped, and looked to Aiden. "Sorry, Aiden… I didn't mean to get angry. I just… I don't like the fact that they were too busy arguing to help Nana." She ruffled his hair, and gave him a smile.
Aiden felt the air tense, dread filled him, he didn't know why. Why were Troy and Neves yelling? Why did Owen walk off? Why did people have to be hurt? Aiden growled a little... and his eyes started to glow faintly red.
Mod
((anyway....))Aiden didn't like how everyone was hurt. How did the bus tip over? He snarled and stood. His eyes were blood red now, and a few feathers on his wing were growing red. He remembered a face... A man... He had done it.... Aiden made a fist. He needed to find this man. He needed to pay for making everyone hurt and yelling.
Neves frowned, and began to feel light-headed. Too much blood-loss. "Oh crap."She had enough time to sit down and lean against the tree before she blacked out.
((g2g to dinner. i'll be back soon i hope :OO ))
Aiden felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Rei. His red eyes closed. He stood for a brief moment, then fell to his knees. He opened his eyes and they were golden again, his wing was back to normal. He bowed his head, his yellow hair hiding his face, he trembled a little. "What... I feel strange.. What happened?" Aiden said slowly.
Aiden looked over at Neves. A flash of red crossed his eyes, and seemingly his whole wing went red for half a second.
((This is why...))Owen stopped walking when he was a ways away from the forest he sat in the grass and slowly let out his breath. "I finally snapped." He shook his head and sighed.
"I'm proud of you for it too."
Owen's eyes widened. "What was that?"
"Hey Owen, ya miss me? I certainly didn't miss you." A faint outline of a figure appeared in front of him.
"Who're you?"
"It's just like you to forget the voice of your own brother."
The figure obtained features and solidified and Owen gaped. "N-neo?"
"Yea I'm not to happy to see you either." Neo huffed.
Mod
Neo made a face. "Oh lovely. It's the cow."Owen spun around. "Troy!"
Mod
"Yes, well at least I have brains." Neo crossed his arms across his chest. "What's this about my twin having a crush? Has he finally gone past the preschool stage in interacting with girls?"Owen was too shocked about Neo suddenly appearing to be angry or frankly do anything.
