Just something I did in December. 

Thank you.

Okay, say here if you're still here.

YAYAYAYAYAY! Thanks for posting 'Katydod'! I love you!

Clover~

Ok, I will bring you the girl I was trying to find earlier. Just please, let me help you ecsape! I scratch on the wall with my traitorious knife that gave me away. She nods and hangs her head, whispering,

"If only I could trust you now. If only."

I turn and dash off, down the passage, after May again. How in the world am I supposed to get May to trust me? I just stabbed her for heavens sake! All too soon I hear her footsteps. She is stumbling a little, probably because of my recent attack. I hear a little thud in the hallway the footsteps came from and I peek down it. She is sitting on the floor in almost the same position I was in when she found me. I suppress a laugh at the change in roles. Instead of walking up to her, however, I stay where I am and simply say her name.

"May." 

Her head jerks up. "You," she snarles, glareing at me furiously, "come to finish me off then, have you? Did you stab Katara too?"

Katara. The girl in the room was Katara. No wonder she couldn't understand me. From what I've overheard in board meetings she's completely insane.

"No. I didn't hurt Katara. I promised I'd help her ecscape and she said the only way to prove she could trust me was by bringing you. Please trust me, I'm going to help you."

She rolls her eyes. "I trusted you the first time and see where it got me. Stabbed in the back. You must think I'm an idiot to trust you again."

Think, Clover, think! There has to be some way to prove yourself! I notice that her face is pale and sweaty and she is trying not to move her body. This gives me an idea. Out loud I say, "Will you let me heal your side? I can dress the wound for you."

"No! Don't you touch me, you backstabbing traitor!" Then she gasps, clutching her side. I see her makeshift bandage and kneel down beside her in order to gently remove it. "No! Don't!" she cries, but this is more from pain than anger. I ignore her and fold the sleeve she had ripped off for the wrapping into a more useful shape, and then wrap it around her snugly to stop the bleeding. "Thanks," she murmurs quietly.

"I'm sorry, May. I am so, so truly sorry." I say, even more quietly, "but they would have killed my little sister." Understanding shows in her face as she says,

"Now I know why you did it. I would do anything to save my sister, too."

Katy, how did Katara know that Clover was trying to find May? Neither of them told her... KATARA MUST HAVE ESP!!!

Eevee's comment: pddd. Well, Eevee, you certainly like 'd's today...

I actually don't know why Buggy isn't posting. She probably is just busy being social and stuff.

l am here....Just really busy. 

Embry~

 Ivory and l used to write letters to each other, messedges from each  of our lives, we used to be actaully quite good friends. And then, well, we grew up. l got accepted into the AYA and life moved on. l remember, just before leaving for the AYA, of posting one last letter to Ivory, perhaps in recognition of those good old days, but also, partly to acknowledgement that we were both moving on in life.

Over the last three years l mostly forgot about Ivory, he was off doing whatever it was that he did. Until l found him here. EVIL, of all places. He had always loved science, he told me often enough in his letters to me, but now it just felt strange, knowing all of those dreams that he had were really being put to use. That dreams, do perhaps, come true. 

And now he is showing us the way out. l might protest about leaving some of the others behind, but right noe my brain is foggy with shock and l can't think clearly. Just run run run. No one will ever know. We will be cowards true, but safe and living cowards all the same.

The endless hallways of EVIL make me dizzy with twists and turns, but Ivory seems to know all of them, turning one corner after another without pause. Heavily panting, Madison, Roselyn and l follow after him. l feel simply numb. After all that has hapened, after all that we gone throguh, this is it. This is all of it. All of what we did jsut for it to end like this. lt does feel wrong to me, but frankly at this point all l want to do is get out of this cold, monsterous place. l shudder to think of all that could've gone on in here.  

l feel as if l should turn back now and go bravely save the world for the good of all, but l know the truth. We all do.

"The exit doors are just beyond this point," Ivory says, quietly. "There shouldn't be too many guards, probably one or two at the very-"

"Why hello there, Ivory. Elisha was looking for you."

Ivory nearly jumps at the voice, but manedges not to. l smother a yelp of suprise.

"l see that you were very nicely leading the prisoners to an exit. If l didn't know better, it looks like you're trying to escape." Cammwren looks very smug at the words."Oh and if you're going to run, do know that there are a large amount of guards around the next corner."

These words were adressed to Madison, glancing to the hall which we had just walked from. 

So there. No way of escape.

And then smoke explodes through the air, seemingly everywhere at once, blasting into my eyes, making them hurt. l can't see a thing, and aparently no else can. l have no idea what this is, only what is means.

A way to escape.
