May~

Embry and I run through the building, searching for any clue of where Marcia and Cammwren were. It feels like we're running in circles.

"Do you know where we are?"

She shakes her head.

"No idea. Just keep watch for any sign of Cammwren or Marcia."

I nod, when we hear the sound footsteps. We turn, just in time to see an ivory haired boy walking around the corner.

"What the-! Are you AYA agents!?

He smiles a bit.

"Looks like we have more prisoners."

He whispers something, and disappears. We look around, when I feel something hit my stomach. I look over to see Embry get hit by nothing visible. Visible...... "He must be invisible!"

"How can we fight something we can't see?!"

"But we can fight something we hear."

And with that, I close my eyes.

I hear the sound of moving clothes to my left, the opposite side of Embry. I kick around the area his stomach would be. My foot makes contact. I hear him gasp as the air is knocked out of him, and the sound of him hitting the ground. But then a swift kick to my ankle sends me to the ground.  

I'll write later.  I just don't know what to write. 

Embry~

May tumbles to the ground, with a sharp crack. l wince and turn around, trying to hear. Rustle of wind, and patter of footsteps, he's gone. Hopefully. 

May moans quietly and doesn't get back up from the ground. "May?" She blinks at me, but doesn't say anything. "May! Get up!" l grab her hand. "It hurts." She mumbles, at last. "We've got to go! Who knows when that invisible person will come back! Please!" 

"Okay...."

l help her to her feet, ever so slowly. "What's wrong?" 

"l don't know. C'mon, let's go." l look at her doubtfully, "Alright."

May limps along, arm over my shoulder. l tilt my head, hearing something. Yells. And then heavy breathing, gasping. May and l exchange looks. 

"Should l, maybe go see what it is?" l ask, uncertainly. May nods. "l'll stay here." 

l leave May, glancing back only once as l round a corner, perhaps thinking that this wasn't such a good idea after all, spliting up. 

l close my eyes and spin in a circle, trying to pinpoint the sound. Shuddering, gasping breathes. There. l press my ear on the door from which the sound is coming from. And l  crack the door open, ever so slowly, peering in. l  jolt back a bit, in shock. "Katara?" l blink. "Is that-" A gun goes off, and suddenly l am on my back, in the hallway, blood as crimson as my hair pooling on the floor. l-l can't feel anything. l'm  paralyzed. l hear soft footsteps, yet l do not know who they belong to.

Why can't l move? l'm going to die!

Cammwren~

l don't want to think back, there's to much pain, things that l never want to remember, locked away so that l will never have to face them.  l look to Marcia, sitting beside me, staring off into the distance. l wonder, why did she really join Evil? She was a AYA agent to the heart, why betray them now? When they perhaps needed her most. What did Evil offer her?

What had Evil offered me? Power, perhaps. Being reconized. Escaping. l never had really liked the AYA, even after l had "left"  Evil. l didn't know what l was doing back then, three years ago.  l found things horribly wrong with the way they did things, and now they're gone. For the most part. Only the former agents are left. l felt akward  then, not knowing what to do. l had never felt like that with Evil. Evil is home.

And then l hear a gunshot. l jerk up, surprised. "What was that?" l ask Marcia. She shrugs and jumps to her feet. "Let's find out now, shall we?"

Adnd don't be mad about Katara going insane again :) She's going to be completely changed when she comes out of this. If, she comes out, that is. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to take all of the attention for her, or needing sympathy and all, but...she adds a rather interesting twist doesnt she? 

I mean, I dont want to sound like I'm trying to make her a Sympathetic Sue. My point is, she might do somethings that dont deserve any sympathy.

Sorry for making the relationships even more confusing, but I was reading through AYA 1, when I read how Madison had a crush on Cammwren. :) By the way, Buggy will post later. She's just working through life and moving.

Moving. Is. Stressful. I'm with Linds right now, and we are going to twist this like a twisty tie!

Mason~

I'm not sure how, but everyone is split up. Everything is going horribly wrong. I feel like everything is slipping from my fingers, but it's not like I had a good grasp. Tension stung across my feelings, tying them in stressful knots. I'm running, trying to find anyone. Madison and Roselyn are together, May and Embry. But Katara, Cammwren, and Marcia have all gone. What did they do Katara? Infect her with something? I hear a gunshot, and instincivly I run towards it. Ivory dashes by, chasing.....chasing who? I'm more distracted by, some one laying on the floor. A small lake of blood carasessing their body. EMBRY! This is all my fault!

"Embry!" I rush over her and hold her head in my arms. She's been shot in the the shoulder, and it doesn't look to good.But taken care of properly she would live. I scoop her up, and start looking for any deserted infermerory.  I almost run into May who is looking bewildered.

"Mason, what...Embry! C'mon, I saw a room with medical supplies down the hall aways." I nodd, and follow. She's limping a little, but grits her teeth to run faster. We hurry and duck into the hall as gaurds start to follow. I quickly disable the camera. I set  Embry down on the table, and May instantly stars helping.I hear something outside, and I slide out and start examining. I turn a few halls and whack into someone. I recover quicklly to find Marcia on the floor. A huge wave of relief washed over me. I was finally able to breathe somewhat. I put my hand down for her to grab it.

"Oh Marcia, I've been so worried! Thank goodness your alright!" She reached for my hand. Relief as her hand clasped mine. She jerked me down. I fell instantly, not expecting it. I found myself on my face, and her foot resting triumphantly on my back.

"Look Marcia, I know you must be mad or something, but whatever it is I'm really sor-"

"Shush! I don't need sympathy, besides I don't need to listen to the pleas of the enemy!"

"Enemy, what do you -" I looked to her face, her hazel eyes giving nothing away. A powerful sadness exploded inside. Marica? I trusted her so much! She loved AYA, or I thought she did...Why?

Madison~ 

Rosy runs swiftly beside me. A sound of thunder booms across the halls. Gunshot. I look towards Roselyn, a strong determination in her eyes. We try to follow the trail of sound, but it got confused and battered in the empty halls. A flash runs past us, Katara! I was about to call out when I remembered the welt on my head. I consider for a moment if it's worth it. Of course it's worth it!  Even if she could be considered dangerous, she was still a human, our friend. I just had to find a way to make her remember. 

"Katara, wait! It's us, Madison and Roselyn! Don't be afraid, look closely. Listen to our voices, it's us." Katara stood there for a moment, considering if we were what we said we were. She looked closley before letting out a shriek. She started to run, but I couldn't give up. Not yet.  I knew Roselyn might want to find the others instead, but I just couldn't let poor Katara carry on like this! I reach out for her, and she stumbles and trips. I quickly catch her, and hold her shoulders firmly. 

"Katara, your halucinating. Please, surely you remember Roselyn, and I?" I search her eyes, their frantic with fear. She started to calm herself. 

"Roselyn, Madison? Is that really you?" She tentivly poised her hand towards us.

"Yes!" Roselyn breathes. She places a hand on Katara's forehead. 

"Oh  your hot with fever!" We quickly guide her to another room, empty of other people. It seemed as if the whole hallway was abandoned. 

"I'll go grab a cool clothe to dab on her head." I quickly look for any cameras, but the room and hall were free of them. I rush into the room across the hall. I look for any sinks, too preocupied to turn on the lights. I turn on the faucet, and push my hand under.A cool refreshing stream pummels against my bare skin. Sighing, I reach for a rag. A shiver runs up my spine.

"It's been a long time, Madison." I spin around, the blood coursing through my veins slowed down, almosting freezing. The room was dark but a silohete was barley visable. The chair spun around.  I gasped, surley it couldn't be...

"But  your dead! You-you-can't be alive." Tears gather in my eyes, and start to run freely. 

"I always knew you were the wimp, and weak one. Is your brother here?" I'm choking on sobs. her light brown hair, framed her small fox like face. Glasses pearched on her nose.

"D-di-did Dad know?"

"No, he doesn't. Your father still believes I'm dead."

"I don't think you understand?! Father is dead, EVIL killed him. And now, now you're here. Why?!"

"Most people mistake LIVE for EVIL. A very sad mistake. So old and common, our own colleagues call it that. But they don't know all of it, not the whole truth. You see LIVE's head and CEO are at a meeting discussing when we unleash the NBB Bomb. I'm just home early."

"Home, early? What does NBB even stand for! You traitor! I thought you loved us, loved me."

"Oh Madison, you're so naive, it's pitiful. LIVE is good, we really are. 'Living In Virtual Equality' .All we are trying to accomplish is world peace. Even if it means it means taking away the freedom to think. But it's better that way. No one would fight, hurt, or disagree on anything. We'd all be peaceful, farming, and helpful people. Only a few of us would watch over them, make sure their doing what their supposed to. Oh Maddi, don't give me that look. Don't think of it as world domination, think of it as world salvation.That's why were looking for you, all of you AYA agents. We need all of you for our operation. Well not all,  we certinaly don't' need you. We'll I don't think so. Your so weak, vunerable, naive, and you care too much about how others think. You clearly presented that with that Katara girl. Besides, I don't want my children to compete. We both know Mason is better than you, his strength, brain, and power. Marcia, a fiery passion, and already part of our little colt."

"Marcia is EVi-?"

"May, for always wanting peace, world peace, and her power if channeled in the right direction. Roselyn really just needs to let the monster inside out It's been trapped inside for so long. Wanting to be free to avenge her dead sister. Cammwren just always belonged here. Embry could exspress her kindness for people by letting their safety be first. She would do anything to keep her precious family safe. Katara? Oh she's the bosses little pet. And my guinea pig. We can show the world her insanity, they'd end up like her sooner or later if the world kept progressing like this. But poor Madison, Maddi, my daughter. Too strong willed about others having control of their own minds. I really love you, so for your sake, so I don't have to pick between offsprings, I can either NBB you, or kill you. I like one of those better."

I can't move, the clothe getting dry from my hot body. Total Shock. Mom leans closer wrapping her arms around me in a hug I've been missing for years. But's not the same.

"Now you don't have to hurt yourself trying to compete with Mason. I'm doing it for you. Sweet dreams, hugs and kisses." She thrust a syringe into my neck, leaving a strange tingiling sensation. The liquid starts coursing through my veins, reaching to my toes, stretching up to my head. My mind becomes sluggish, and my  reactions slow. The world starts to tip side to side, like I was off riding on a boat somewhere in the ocean. I feel like I'm falling, the floor embracing me. Black threatens my vision. Inching closer and closer. The click clack of heels echo in the hall, and get fainter and fainter. My heart starts to beat slower and slower, my breathing shallow. Black.. 

By the way, NBB stands for Nano Brain Bots. But the others don't know that, okay? HEHEHEHEEH.....>:) Also, Madison being dead is up in the air right now. I don't really know. We'll see. P.S.S Virtual for V in Live because the robots are doing it. SO yeah. Hope this plot twist is okay. Next post, brace for the FEELZ.

Buggy and I are switching now, this is Lindsey R. By the way, I will slap Buggy if Madison dies. She was considering killing Mason.

Marica~

I pin Mason to the ground by his shoulders, and cuff his hands behind his back. He struggles half heartedly against me, probably out of shock of what I'm doing. Forcefully, I pull Mason to his feet, and lead him to the security room.

"Don't think about escaping me. You know that I am strong and fast."

I push open the door, holding Mason with one of my hands. Cammwren, Ivory, and Elisha gape at me as I walk in. Elisha stands up, a grin stretching across her face.

"Well well well, what do we have here? A new prisoner? What do you suppose we do with him?"

"I think we should keep him hostage," I say, "Use him to lure the rest straight to us."

"Good idea. But what if they don't come?" Ivory questions.

"If I know AYA agents, I know that they'll never leave a comrad behind. Well, most of the time." I grimace, remembering just a few hours ago when I was left behind.

"Fine, fine," Elisha says with a wave of her hand, "Lead him to the prison. And we need to keep him alive, just long enough for us to capture all of the AYA agents." 

As I lead him down to the basement, he is still silent, and stone faced. I put him in a cell and offer him food, but he sits there, staring at a wall, no emotion in his face but utter shock and terror. I start to leave, when I hear, "I thought I could trust you." I look back, but he is still glancing at the wall, this time, a small diamond glistening on his cheek.

YAAAAAAS!!! THE FEELS!!! Get a spoon, because I've just poured a big bowl of Feelios. Nobody save Mason, because Buggy and I are planning a moment between Mason and Marcia. I apologize that this is long and that you probably just spent twenty minutes reading this.

My favorite scene of all time.

Here is a better one. I drew it.

IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS!!!! 

l like it, Rose :)

Embry~

We hear shouts, and the pattering of feet outside. Voices. Faint, but you can hear them just a bit. For a few seconds, May and l listen in silence. And then she jolts up. "That's Marcia." She almost whispers. My brain is fuzzy from the shock, the pain from my arm is hindering my thinking. 

"It's been nearly forever since l saw her." May glances back at me. l can see the longing in her eyes. "Forever is not nearly as long as we all think it is." l smile at her. 

"But....l could find her, we could be togather again, but what about you? Will you be okay? While l go find Marcia?"

l nod. "l'll be okay. It isn't that bad. Really." May glances back at me, but l can tell that her mind is already made up. She opens the door, and then l can hear her footsteps gentaly pad away,

l slowly sit up,blinking. My shoulder has stopped bleeding, thankfully, but l don't want too look at it, the pain tells me that me that it's not pretty.

Ivory should've killed me right then and there ((remember, her thinking is messed up. )) so l don't have to face the horrors of what is coming. That's rather selfish, but true. What is going to happen? Evil has us all in their trap,there is really no one out there who knows enough about them to stop them.

There's no hope.  l realize it quite blandly, sitting on that table in that room in Evil, They have us all. l open my eyes, not realizing that l had closed them. And the first thing l see is my shouder starting to bleed again, crimson spilling down my arm, dripping into the floor. 

Was that blood spilled for nothing, or that we could live on to fight another day? 

Crimson, the color of blood, the color of victory, the color of a new day.

The battle may be won by some and lost by others, but hope is not dead. l will fight on. There are people to find and rescue. And also, there's an evil organization to take down. 

~~~~~~~~

Writing that was rather strange....least to say, as Embry's voice and tone of thinking was diffrent then what l'm used to writing.
