I run through
I run through the Forest, looking for the ruins. This would normally have been a hard task for anyone, but it's two days before the the next full moon, and my senses are better than ever. I see the outline of a tower in the distance, and run towards it as fast as I can. As I approach the ruins, I take in their majesty. No matter how often I come here, they will always be breathtaking. Instead of exploring the endless rooms of the deserted castle like I would normally do, I reach into my backpack and pull out my sketchpad and a piece charcoal from last night's fire. I made enough money yesterday at the forest market that I should be able to stop scavenging and take it easy for a while. I don't need money for much more than clothes and art supplies anyway, for I find or grow most of the things I need, but it's good to have a purse full of coins in the middle of a war. Times have been tuff lately, with the war going on. Less and less people buy my artwork and the objects I find, so I've been wearing clothes two sizes too small for months now. My colored pencils are nearly stubs, so I've been doing a lot of charcoal drawings lately. I've had to go into cities more and more often to sell my artwork and found objects, and normally the only buyers are rich tourists. I hate cities. They aren't really good places to be when you're like me. A were wolf, that is. Did I forget to mention that?

I can barely lift my head. I'm aching, and at some points the poison strikes a sharp pain throughout my body. I break into a cold sweat. It has to have been an hour. Do I only have three? And where are River and Autumn?
My friends wouldn't have left me... would they?

Alexander, I will let you know I write my journal in code. A code I created. I doubt you would be able to decode it. Unless, you're readin Matt's journal.
If you are does he like me?
*blushes*

No he thinks you stink.
HA just kidding, I found your jounal and used a magic book to copy it, so when you write about your adventure I see it in my book (not to sound creepy), plus I'm a great code cracker. I once decoded an journal that had the insrution to make something called the "philosopher stone", I didn't sleep for a month after that. anyway I can't wait for what happens nexts.

I look around me to find myself somewhere I didn't know. I couldn't remember anything. Who was I? Where am I? My head hurt really badly. Suddenly, I hear piearcing screaming. The screaming reminded me of similar screaming I heard once. It all just didn't make sense. I started walking towards the screaming. Part of me felt slightly scared, the other was just tired and worn.
I turn a corner and see a boy with curly brown hair and a girl. The faces started to blur. My eyes felt droopy. I run into the girl. She catches me as I fall.

One hour.
Yylza comes in, undoes my bonds, and leaves. I can barely lift my head, and I'm used to the pain by now. Even though I'm numb, I can still somewhat feel it. But things are starting to fall apart. I can't breath as well, and my heart beat is slowing down. Worst of all, I'm paralyzed. I couldn't move if I wanted to. A fever rages, my vision is getting blury, and I'm starting to think that River or Autumn or whoever will never come for me. I haven't told Autumn yet. So if I die, one more will be buried with the secret about River. The prince of Villepaix.
Autumn can fend for herself. She's brave, tough, and skilled. But what about River? He has had much training, but does he have to stand alone when a nation of elves is destroyed by Tallefine? I have to fight this, I have to stop being so weak. But the poison is moving steadily and slowly. This poison was meant to kill. But where did Tallefine get that technology? I'm in the castle, I know, but when was this lab, this cell built? When did the outside world slip into the Villepaix bubble?
30 minutes.
Garna loved me. All of them did. Autumn, River, the king and queen. Or at least I think.
The queen. She gave me all of her power. But why does that not work now, out of all times?
I writhe, the poison throbbing. But it stops, like all times it has.
20 minutes.
An entire group bursts in, interupting my thoughts. To my joy, I can make out two of them. Autumn and Mhatt.
"Where is she?" an animal bursts out.
I try to say something, but I can't. Now Tallefine's done it. A concealment spell.
Most of them scatter out, leaving Mhatt, Autumn, and a wolf behind trying to figure it out.
Mhatt and the wolf frantically go in and out of the room, checking everywhere else, and I try my best to say something.
"Autumn...." I whisper weakily and hoarsly.
Autumn whips her head around. I forgot. Werewolves are wolves, and wolves are like dogs. Great hearing.
I use the last magic I have to lift the concealment spell. But it cost me.
10 minutes.
Autumn sees me and shouts at Mhatt and the wolf. Everyone streams back in, and Autumn grabs me and runs out.
Everyone dashes down the hallway, and Autumn looks down at me, then looking at Mhatt.
"Can you do something? Magic? You're an elf!" Autumn exclaims.
"I-I can't," Mhatt stutters. "I don't know who's magic can fix this!"
Mhatt then looks at Autumn, like he suddenely realizes something.
"River."

"No," I say, "I think I know someone else who could do it."
I motion to a girl I met earlier, who goes by the name of Crimson. She walks forward. I hope this works.

I barely could remember who I was. The only thing I can remember is my name. I doubt I could do magic. The girl who caught me, Autumn, was trusting me with this. Maybe, I've already let people down how could it hurt for one more. But when I looked into Autumn's eyes, I knew I couldn't. I knelt down next to Rose. The words just came out as if they had been stuffed there for toO long. The strange thing was that a golden mist came out of Rose and was coming towards me. Since I was healing her shouldn't the magic come from me. I felt my mind panicking but I wouldn't stop healing her now. When the golden mist hit me, it turned red and I started feeling an agonizing pain. I screamed. But I looked into Rose's eyes to see if she was okay she was. I knew I wasn't dying but at that moment, I wished I was dead. It's not like it mattered, I didn't know who I was. Even now, I am surrounded by mere strangers who I don't know and they don't know me. The suffering it caused me opened up silent tears. The darkness brought me in as once agin I fainted with too much pain.

Bubbles and blue light. This isn't death, but it's someone healing me. Then a flash of light, and everything goes dark.
~~~~
I wake up in a small room, and Autumn and this other girl sits there, talking. I get up, but the girl panicks and holds out her hands.
"Not yet, not yet!"
I ignore her and sit up. My strength came back.
"Or never mind," she mumbles.
I roll my eyes and get up.
"Won't you at least say thank you?" Autumn asks.
"Why?" I spit.
"She healed you!" Autumn exclaims.
"Good for her!" I yell.
Autumn looks taken aback. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," I snap. "Not in a good mood right now."
Autumn scoffs, and the girl looks at me.
"Look, thanks," I say. "But right now, I don't have time to sit around." I turn to Autumn. "Where's River?"
"I don't know, I lost track of him when we got seperated. Besides, it's too dangerous for you to go back out there," Autumn responds.
"What are you talking about?" I bark. "I'm going back out there, I need to talk to him. Besides, where are we now?"
"We're in a secret hall built by the Resistance," Autumn sighs. "And you're not going back."
"I want to see you make me!" I shout.
I stomp towards the door, but Autumn's up in a flash, blocking my way.
"I won't let you go!" she yells.
"Yes you will!" I yell back.
"No!" she exclaims. "You can't handle yourself!"
I'm filled with anger and rage. Don't turn on me now, Autumn.
"YES I CAN!" I bellow.
"NO YOU CAN'T!" Autumn practically screams. "I CAN'T LET YOU DIE!"
My fists clench, and the entire room starts to go dark. It blocks out the light, and the girl is trying to deflect it, but it is solely from my anger.
I cast a blow at Autumn, and it throws her aside. I then shove open the door and run out.
"We have no other choice!" I hear the girl scream.
Alarms start to blare, as if I'm an escaped prisoner. What was Autumn being so protective about?

Oh, I think I may get what your power is!
Can you heal others by taking their pain and you get the pain instead, so they don't have it anymore?
(November 6, 2016 - 11:05 am)
Yup, that's the idea.
