Futuristic Those That are Hunted

[Verena]

Vulcan let the gun drop to the ground. He had other things to look out for. The second wyrm charged at him, he turned and caught it midair as it was striking at his legs, biting its head clear off. Suddenly it shattered. The second creature that had left his mouth full of its body parts for one day. But when he heard something hard hitting the ground he turned around only to see Amelie fall, a blood shard sticking from her chest but shattering moments later. He ran towards her with a scared squeal, turning back human and letting himself fall beside her, taking her whole upper body in his arms. "No, not you too!" But then he remembers. Of course, the watch. He tips the screen and shouts inside, interrupting the voice welcoming him. "Call government station. I require medics at this location, right now!" Then he turns back to Amelie "Hold on! Help is on the way." Vulcan looked around but saw neither Hayden, nor Kytha. They had left and Vulcan was happy they did.

"We're going to my old home. Temporary of course.. Until we find something better." She almost whispered. She put toron in the car and made sure everyone was I then climbed in the passenger seat. "I will guide you.." She says as she buckles up and Hayden begins to drive. "It's a place to the west. Near all the druggies and their stores. It's in the forest next to it. It's a cave but its gonna have to do unless anyone has a better idea.." She says and fiddles with her backpack. She didnt forget her bow that was for sure. She would never forget either of them.

Amelie heard a voice in the distance. It took a few minutes before Amelie eyes fluttered open only to see Vulcan's face. She tried to move but felt a sharp pain in her chest and leaned back into Vulcan. "What happened?" When her body fell she hit her head. Looking down Amelie saw her watch blinking red. Medical help is on there way. "Hopefully your friend got away." She placed a hand on the spot the Hayden's shard pierced. Amelie could hear a helicopter in the distance. "Don't leave me." Yes, Amelie had been injured on the job. it was an occupational hazard, but she hadn't had to have the field medics come to her.

 

[ChasingCheetahs]

Allia was trying to get a stubborn Hayden into the forest and away from whoever had formed that ice wolf but the man obviously had other ideas. "You-" She was ready to argue but they didn't get far before Kytha was screaming from behind, dragging herself painfully over the forest floor with a sleeping Toron in her amrs. There was blood, enough blood to leave a good red trail a mere human could follow. Taking Toron into her arms, Allia's frown disappeared, the kid was just knocked out but unharmed. Slim arms tightened around his smaller form as the woman's motherly instincs shown through. Children had always been her soft spot when back home with the clan and even now she decided it better to see to the boy. The other two were... idiots. Never had the blonde met such incompatible people. They could barely work in a team - one ran around as though she knew what she was doing but it all seemed a futile attempt due to her recklessness; the other was a show off with an ego befitting every man. What had she gotten herself into?


When Hayden made his way to the house Allia was tempted to follow only to witness his ability again but it was too dangerous with Toron in her arms. Instead she hid amongs the greenery, focusing on her ability and the awareness of all vibrations and sound around her, mainly the four people in the house. Energy was flying left and right in the building, oddly feeling like Hayden and making her wonder just how much power tha male possessed. They would have to tread around him carefully.


It didn't take them much time to run back, locating both her and Toron, and showing them to a vehicle parked near by. Allia got inside, hands reaching for Toron right away, petting the boy's hair affectionately.


"Of cource you failed because you had no plan." She had kept her mouth shut out of courtisy for too long. "This isn't a rebelion, it's an attempt to get yourselves killed. We need an actual strategy not improvisations." Her head snapped to the side suddenly, there was a disrupture in Kytha's energy. "Your blood - did they give you a transfusion? If it's any of the agent's blood I can use it to locate them or at least the area they are in. The foreign blood will stay in your system for a couple of days so we'll be able to use that."

 

[Verena]

"Just hold on, Amelie... I'll never leave you." His vision started to dim again and they leaned both on each other. Everything that followed was a blur. Vulcan could hear the helicopter landing, their hair blown by the wind it produced. Soon after strong hands separated them carefully and lifted each one of them on a stretcher and into the flight vehicle...


When Vulcan finally opened his eyes he was greeted by a white ceiling, a white light and the soft mattress of a hospital bed. He weary turned his head and saw Amelie, laying unconscious next to him, her chest bandaged, an oxygen delivery mask on her face and a saline solution bag hanging from a stand. She was just at arm's length from him so he tried to lift his hand and touch her, but couldn't. Not because of fatigue, but because his wrist was shackled to the rail of the bed, just like the other one, along with his ankles. What is the meaning of this?


"It's good that you finally woke up, agent 82535."


Vulcan startled as he heard the voice and turned to the other side only to see an elderly man sitting on a chair next to his bed, surrounded by two masked men, holding semi-rifles at their chests. The man pressed the button on a remote to lift the mattress end and bring Vulcans torso in a sitting position.


"You've got quite the record, Vulcan."


"Who are you?"


"Commander in Chief of the government headquarters. So, how did your mission go?"


"Isn't it obvious?"


"Well, not quite. Care to tell me where all your blood went. It couldn't have evaporated, now could it?"


"Hayden..."


"I know a lot about the abilities of this man. I know what he can do and how he does it."


Vulcan was silent for a moment, fear starting to rise in his head, causing him to shiver.


"You see, there is a very specific chemical element called Cyanoacrylate, with which a very specific type of needle is coated, used mainly in blood transfusions. Tell me, what happened to your wrist?"


He didn't say anything. The man knew.


"You had blood on your clothes and it wasn't your partners, nor yours. But we did find the same type of blood just behind the gas station. Did you help the enemy there, Vulcan? Are you a spy?"


"What?"


"Now, you can tell us the truth and I promise you a quick death, or we can torture you until you spit it out."


"I'm not a spy!" His voice was weak, trembling.


"How was her name again? Kytha? Poor girl." No...


"I've never heard that name before!" Vulcan pulled on the shackles, trying to break them only to snap that man's neck.


"Of course you haven't. And you're telling me that this gas station was your first guess of where to find your target? For how stupid do you take me?"


Silence. His head and shoulders were slump, resisting was pointless.


"You know, Vulcan, I see potential in you. You could become a fine agent one day. This time I'll let you live. When you two recover we'll send more agents, including you, back to the field to complete your mission. We won't have this conversation twice."


The man rises from his seat and exits the room, accompanied by his bodyguards, a nurse coming in after him and unshackling Vulcans wrists and ankles. He immediately pulls his hands back and puts his palms on his face, bitter tears running down his cheeks. Tears of fear, anger, sadness. Kytha...

 

[ANONASAI]

Hayden stopped the car and took the keys as the headlights turned off. "We're here." He said, coming out of the car and placed his hands in his pockets. "So, a cave. You're house is a cave..." Of course, everybody thinks Hayden was disappointed... he wasn't. "The gov won't expect us to be here. Unless your boyfriend spits the place out..."


He took his flashlight and lit the cave.

 

[ChasingCheetahs]

Allia took Toron in her arms again, following Hayden into their new little hideout. Unlike in the town with all the machinery, radio waves and desrupted energy flows she could easily keep watch here. Anything in a couple of kilometers radius would alert her immediately.


"Why is the government after you? It's not just about your gift, you're an actual target." Allia's thoughts went back to the two agents from earlier - one, judging by Hayden's words, was male. She had caught great fluctuations in his energy and now the reason was becoming clear. "That Vulcan you mentioned," She looked towards Kytha "he's your boyfriend?"

 

[ANONASAI]

Hayden placed a smile while hearing Allia talk about Vulcan being Kytha's boyfriend. Certainly, Hayden really did not know for sure if Vulcan and Kytha really had a deep relationship with each other. He just keeps calling Vulcan 'boyfriend' simply because he wants to. Yet he turned at Allia's one question, "Why is the government after you?" Hayden looks straight at Allia, "I don't know..."

 

[ChasingCheetahs]

"You're lying." Allia went past Hayden and further into the cave, completely dismissing his answer. There were some blankets and pillows by one of the walls and she placed Toron down with the utmost care after checking for snakes and dangerous little cridders. "You guys wouldn't happen to know anything about that incident in town the other day? There are claims of a red fog having appeared." Allia looked back at Hayden, raising an eyebrow, a knowing smile lightly curving her lips. The man's abilities had shown some light on what had caused all those deaths and casualties. "You really are a dangerous one, aren't you?"

 

[Panda_Roleplays]

Kyrha had enough of this stupid keeping secrets. They needed to spit it out and since no one seemed like they were gonna do that any time soon I guess she would. "First off Vulcan is like a brother to me. He saved my life multiple times. We care about eachother. He only joined the goverment to keep me safe. I love him as I were blood related." She says staring back and forth between the two. "Next, Hayden created the smoke as he tried to catch Vulcan. His partner got mad at him. I offered for everyone to make a rebellion. Then Hayden began angrily walking away because he either quit or got kicked out of the gov. Then i found toron here i a car that had no cars touching it in litterally the centre of the giant crash. Vulcan joined the goverment to protect me and we said goodbye. I took a phone and walked with toron over to the boiling, as usual, Hayden and hand it to him telling him to call me if he was interested a d obviously he did. There now everyone knows... He's a target because he is an agent gone rogue." She says and sits down. "Now what's your talent hmm?" She asks the woman

 

[ChasingCheetahs]

Allia pushed a lock of hair behind her ear and took a deep breath. This girl, Kytha, talked a little too much and even though she had good intentions she wasn't pulling things off very well. Growing up amongs The Nexus taught you how to survive, how to fight but mainly it taught you selfcontrol and peace of mind both of witch Allia was quite thankfull for that the moment. She nodded in thanks for the long explanation then lifted her hand to show Kytha the diamondshaped crystal pendant dangling from her wrist - every member of her clan recieved one once they completed their training. It wasn't only a symbol of perfection though - her people believed it strengthened the connection its wielder had with the spirits and helped channel their energy.


"Allia Midsummer, part of The Nexus clan." She thought a proper introduction was in order. "I can control soundwaves and to some extend lectromagnetic waves, they help me read energy levels as well. What about you? I already have an idea of what Mr. Vampire there can do. And aren't you a bit too young to be organising a rebelion, especially getting a child like Toron envolved?"

 

[Han Alister]

Castiel waved goodbye to Xander and began to walk away. He sighed as he walked, knowing that boredom would enter his mind yet again. "I guess I could practice my abilities." He shrugged as electricity crackled around his body, heating the area around him and giving off a bright glow.

 

[Panda_Roleplays]

My growled at her. "I am a shifter. I am a human wolf owl and bear. This rebellion was for our freedom. No one is ever to young to fight for what they believe in and toron joined by choice not force so back. Off." She says as she slips into wolf form and back. "Don't you dare underestimate me. The only reason the plan failed is because we were rushed to make one. Now we can actually start planning real things." She says and pulls out paper laying on the ground along with a few pencils. "Shall we get to work?"

 

[ChasingCheetahs]

The moment Kytha shifted and growled at her Allia sent a glare the girl's way. Animals had never frightened her and a teenage shifter wasn't going to change that anytime soon. "Don't intimidate me." She tapped her foot on the rock beneath, the small heal causing a distinct sound to ring off the cave walls and a tremor shook the ground under them in warning. It lasted mere secounds then Allia took off the leather backpack she used to carry around only the nessessaties. Shte pulled out a stack of long thin leaves that still looked fresh. "Cover your wound with these. They will prevent infection and speed up the healing process. Now, where do we start?"

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

(You know Xander and Castiel can go after Kytha and them. They could get a message or something saying that while Amelie and Vulcan are resting you two go after Hayden or something)


Every hour or so a nurse came in to check Amelie's vitals. After after a few hours the nurse found that Amelie was able to breath on her own now and removed the mask. "She might be out for a while. The surgery took a toll on her body." She told Vulcan, assuming the girl's partner would want to know. "It's such a shame seeing young ones come into the hospital like this." She sighed and then walked out. The nurse was right on how long Amelie would be out for. When said girl opened her eyes the white ceiling had varying shades of bright orange on it, signalling the sun was setting. Amelie blinked her eyes a few times to try and adjust to the lighting. She felt groggy but still tried to sit up. Feeling the pain in her chest. Laying back down she put her hand on top of it, the coolness of her skin felt nice. Looks like I might not be sent out for a little while. Amelie clenched her fists. As much as loved having a day off she didn't want to be here in the hospital recovering for days. No. She needed to be able to keep an eye on her brother, make sure he was safe. Thinking about loved ones Amelie remembered her new partner who had lost a lot of blood when. she found him. Not only did he save her life but he also stayed by her side like she asked him. "Vulcan...are you ok?" her voice sounded hoarse.

 

[Verena]

Vulcan was deep in his thoughts. He didn't notice the nurse talking, neither the passing of time. He was in a state of trance, his hands wrapped around his knees in a depressed manner, eyes slightly open, staring at the empty wall. He looked like a corpse that had just risen from the dead - skin still a bit pale, black circles under tired red eyes, chapped lips. Only when he heard Amelies raspy voice did his mind return to the real world. "I'm... fine. More importantly, how are you?" He blinked a few times to moisten his hurting dry eyes and turned to face her, he needed a distraction badly or he would go insane.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

" I will be fine. Luckily We get some of the best care. "Amelie had a worried looked on her face. From the was he was positioned she knew he was not fine. She looked around for a remote to move the top half of her bed up so she could sit up and get a better look at him. "Did something happen? You look...you look terrible." Her eyes focused on how pale his skin was. Reminds me of mine. And his eyes, has he been crying? All Amelie wanted to do was reach out and hold his hand. To try and help comfort him.

 

[Verena]

"I... I don't know what to do, Amelie. They think I'm some sort of spy. They know about Kytha... What am I going to do? What will they make me do?" Vulcan burrowed his head between his legs, wrapping his arms around his nape. He didn't want Amelie to see him this way. He had never felt anything like that before. In the past if he got a mission he would just do it - no questions, no opinion, no hesitation. Over these years he had killed off whole families, from elderly to children, without blinking an eye, so all of this was completely new.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie's eyes softened. "Vulcan if they truly though of you as a threat you wouldn't be sitting here in this room right now. And about Kytha, if anything you won't be the one to go after her." Unless they wanted him to prove his loyalty. Amelie scooted over and patted the spot on her bed. "Come over here." She looked around the room and spotted a camera in the corner. Not a good idea to talk too much. "Everything will be fine. We can get something worked out."

 

[Verena]

Vulcan looked up a little from his "hiding". Then he stood up from the bed and took a seat on the spot Amelie had showed him. He obeyed like an obedient mutt would... or a soldier. Right now he inly even wished to be brainwashed, be able to forget about Kytha, forget about Amelie, forget about Ivan - about everyone he loved and cared about. Only his training would remain. He would be the killing machine the government wanted him to be, get back to his old habits.

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie took both his hands in hers. "Everything becomes more tolerable over time, you know." In a way Amelie knew what he was going through. He left those he cared about to protect him. The only difference was they didn't know about her brother but they knew about Kytha. She moved her head so her mouth was close to his ear, and hiding form the camera. Lowering her voice she said, "There are places the government doesn't look for gifted. If you have the right connections we can get her there." She squeezed his hands. Once she is safe he won't have to worry and just do his job. They won't hurt him.

 

[Verena]

When Amelie takes his hands in hers they feel almost warm to the touch. Or was he just colder. He felt more contented as she did that, starting to relax a little, his stiff body loosening up. However, when she moved closer and he felt her breath in his ear he wavered if he should retreat or stay. He liked her being close to him but at the same time felt uncomfortable in her presence. There was always the fear that if he tried to do anything stupid she would beat him up like an animal. Kytha would never want to go in hiding again. She wants to start a war and no one could ever change her mind. Amelie was trying to hide her message from the camera but just nodding would probably arouse someones suspicion He had to play the game but was struggling with what words would be best to use after someone whispered in your ear. Vulcan turned his head to face her. "I love you, Amelie" Idiot! This was not what he was thinking!

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie was surprised her mouth didn't drop open but her face turned as red as a tomato. It took ll her might to keep her eyes locked on his. The heart monitor that was hooked up to her started beeping like crazy this caused a nurse to rush in. Seeing the two in an intimate position the nurse hesitated before talking. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to interrupt anything." She backed away awkwardly before slamming the door behind her. Amelie was now even more embarrassed and it took her a moment to calm her heart. "B-but I thought you cred for that other girl, Kytha." He was so ready to turn on me.

 

[Verena]

When the nurse entered Vulcan only barely restrained the desire to turn and eat her face off. He was glad that she left so quickly. His eyes had never left Amelies. Well, finish what you started, blockhead! He gulped. "There is a difference between parental love and what I feel for you. Kytha is like a sister to me, I made a great promise to her, but nothing more. I think you fill that blank." She's going to kill me. No, they both will kill me!

 

[Ch3rryBlossom28]

Amelie squeezed his hands tighter. Ice started to form over them and Amelie quickly pulled away. "I-I'm sorry. My emotion can make my powers get a little out of control." Amelie felt stupid. That's not what she should have said. "I've never actually cared for anyone besides my brother. For this job you need to have a closed heart so you don't get hurt but...I'm happy to have you with me." Man she was terrible at saying what she is feeling. What the hell. She pulled on his shirt to bring his head down and gave him a kiss.
