“We’re are all lost.” Kanya spoke finally stopping to look at her hand. She stood behind Eli looking down at the girl, she was worried herself it has been only been day two so far. Kanya felt the girl sorry, in her own mind she was like that but she didn’t express it like the girl did.

 

“Its only our second day here. We are just as scared as you.”

[Rarek]

Andromeda held Cassandra's shoulders and looked at her calmly. "Calm down, nobody is going to hurt you out here. Especially these two." He motioned to Eli and Kanya. "They're extraordinary people, who wouldn't even consider that."

 

Cassandra looked up, still scared. "But he already did...I couldn't breathe."

 

"You have to consider how accidental it was. I know you're scared, we all are. But these are not your enemies."

 

She bit her lip, then slowly nodded. Getting up, she wrapped her arms around Eli and hugged tightly. "I'm sorry for eavesdropping...I won't do it again."

Eli instantly stiffened up when Cassandra stood up and pulled him into a hug. He could feel his face start to burn as it slowly turned red.

 

"That's okay" he said trying and failing to hide the embarrassment in his voice. "Just....just be more careful were you sit in future."

 

He stared over the top of Cassandra's shoulder and wondered when she was going to let go. He was worried the heat from his face would set his hair on fire.

[Rarek]

Cassandra pulled away after a few moments, but couldn't help but smile at Eli's redness. "Oh come now, I'm not that cute!" she teased. She touched her fingers to her lips and then patted Eli once on the head before heading back to the common room. She quietly slipped in and sat on a chair.

 

Andromeda couldn't help but giggle. "You had that one coming," she admits. She patted Eli on the shoulder and moved to join Cassandra in the common room.

[Fortune86]

Eli stayed standing where he was. How did you know when you were having a heart attack? It felt pretty much like he was having one now. Having had no experience with girls at all until now he was at a loss for what Cassandra meant just now. When did he say she was cute? Had he indicated that in some way without meaning it? Not that Cassandra was bad looking, but he always thought that 'cute' meant baby birds and wolf cubs and suchlike.

 

When he could finally move he turned to Kanya in a state of silent panic. What was he supposed to do?

[SkullKrusher]

(( Gettin' almost a tad jelaous with all that hugging and stuff Eli gets. I mean, freakin' luck! ))

 

Vex watched the gates and the... two that walked in. His eyes went wide. What? Three of them would be dead, but four were already dead and yet it was the second day AND they were still allowed inside. "God..." He said slightly, hands going to his head. He was a tough person, but knowing all these facts was just making him sick. Quickly walking to the bathroom, he splashed water on his face and drinked. When he washed his face and cooled down, he wiped the water off and walked out, then walked next to his room. "Eli, what's the next match and who are the ones in it?" Vex asked, approaching the man and ducking by him to calm him slightly.

[DragonSpirit009]

Kanya blinked at the girl and watched her walk away. She seemed a bit weird Kanya thought to herself when she noticed Eli’s expression. He seemed just as surprised as she was but he was very red in the face. It couldn’t be very healthy for someone to blush when they have a head injury.

 

“Uh... wash up.” Kanya finally spoke looking at her hand again. “Then eat something.” She added along while her stomach made its own growling sounds.

[Fortune86]

Eli nodded his silent understanding. He had promised Kanya some food after all. He was sure he could manage that without messing it up.

 

Vex approached him and asked about the next match. Eli shrugged.

 

"I don't know. Only this morning's match was written on the paper. I don't know if we have to fight again today or not."

[DragonSpirit009]

Kanya slightly ignored the question Vex had to ask. She didn’t want to know would be next or if she had to go fight again. It would cause her some sort of heart failure if she had to go through it again. Kanya continued to walk to the common room taking note of the guy with horns. He can’t be good news she thought to herself hurrying towards the bathroom. Opening the door Kanya was rather surprise to see Jack inside. She froze by the door looking at him to afraid to more any further.

Both Lydia and Samael turned their heads to the cracking sound though they both ignored it ether too depressed or too self absorbed to care. Lydia turned to where she heard Samael's voice last tilting her head to the side. "You said you wanted to tell a story yes?" She asks the demon. "I would like to hear it"

 

------

 

Samael turns and looks at Lydia smiling a little at her. "Well it is more of a poem then a story but I am willing to tell it to you and anyone who is willing to listen." He says before closing his eyes sighing Samael starts reciting a poem he heard a long time ago.

"There once was a man who lived in leeds, he filled his garden full of seeds, and when the seeds began to grow, it was like a garden filled with snow, and when the snow began to melt, it was like a ship without a belt, and when that ship began to sail, it was like a bird without a tail, and when that bird began to fly it was like an eagle in the sky, and when the sky began to roar, it was like a lion at my door." Samael suddenly changed his voice to a dark tone. "And when the door began to crack, it was like a penknife in my back, and when my back began to bleed, I was dead dead dead indeed." He laughs darkly at the end knowing that it normally ends with a scream.

 

--------

 

Lydia shivered at his dark laughter remembering that he is a demon and truned her head away from him disgusted that she asked to hear his twisted poem.

 

(( Sorry my brain died halfway through this and the poem is called 'A man who lived in leeds' .))

[TotallyDrow]

Jack turned his head as he heard the door to the bathroom open, standing in the doorframe was Kanya, his partner in crime in today's match.

 

"Is there something wrong?" he inquired, tilting his head slightly as he felt a sense of unease radiating from where she stood, she hadn't budged an inch since opening the door.

 

Suddenly with a worried expression, Jack stepped backwards. "Is... is.. is there something on me?!?!" he began asking as he twirled around trying to use the mirror to see if there was anything crawling on him, as he did so his left foot got stuck in a bucket placed in the corner of the room, causing him to slip backwards. With his arm outstretch to try and grab anything to prevent himself from falling, he reached out and grabbed one of the sink's taps, breaking it in the process and causing water to shoot out of it like a fountain.

 

"Did...Did I get it off..?" he mumbled, dazed as he sat there slumped in the corner of the bathroom.

[DragonSpirit009]

Kanya looked at Jack still in silence when all the sudden he started acting weird and before she knew it he was on the ground, soaking wet. Kanya opened her mouth to say something but she was to stunned at how fast something like this had happened and now they have a water problem. Looking down the girl took notice of a puddle of water forming near her feet. Finally she moved a bit backwards making sure her shoes wouldn’t get to wet in the current situation before she looked at sink.

 

“You broke it.” she finally spoke looking at the sink squirting out water.

[Fortune86]

Not long after Kanya had walked away than a horrible crash could be heard. Eli looked at Vex in confusion and then set off too find out what had caused it. He wasn't expecting what he saw.

 

Kanya was standing in the doorway to the bathroom and a large pool of water was forming beyond her. Eli stared in surprise.

 

"What happened?" he managed to ask.

[DragonSpirit009]

“He... He broke it.” Kanya spoke still looking surprised at what happened. She didn’t even look at Eli when he spoke she was wondering more on the lines of how were they going to fix it. She looked at the sinks noticing small taps below each on. It must be to close the flow of water from there, she remembered something like that in the bathrooms of the monastery.

 

Finally she moved towards the sink, careful not to slip and to get to wet. Bending down a bit she looked at the tap for a few seconds before finally turning it. Slowly the waters flow came to a stop. Half of her dress was somewhat wet and she looked at Jack wondering if he was even ok for being wet.

 

“You ok?” she asked in a low voice.

[TotallyDrow]

((finally some free time to post))

 

"I'm fine..." replied jack, slightly disorientated. His bottom half was completely soaked, thanks to the water pooling around on the floor, the wetness making his straw anatomy feel slightly uncomfortable.

 

In jacks right hand wa the tap handle that he had broken. H looked at it, then at the sink, then at the others, then back at hetap handle... "uh..." was all he old utter.

[Fortune86]

Eli stepped into the bathroom and looked around. The floor was a tiny lake of water and Jack was standing looking sheepish with a broken tap in his hand. Perhaps being a scarecrow he was not used to using bathroom facilities a lot.

 

There wasn't a mop or anyting so Eli took of his jacket folded it over and knealt down. They couldn't just leave the pool of water on the floor. He used his jacket to soak up some of the water before wringing it into the nearby shower stand and then started to repeat his actions.

[Fortune86]

((le bump))

[DragonSpirit009]

Kanya stood in silence as she watched Eli cleaning up the pool of water. I should help she thought to herself not sure what to do in all. Looking around she came upon a rack with a couple of trowels. Taking one she started to dry up the floor with Eli, she didn’t want to look a Jack for he still scared her.

 

((short post is short O.O

Fortune I hope its okey about the towel part... I believe the bad guy would at least leave them that))

[Fortune86]

((Tha's fine Spirit.

Actually Eli should have thought of using towels >.<. I'll just put it down to shock and them not being in his line of sight.))

 

Between the two of them it didn't take Eli and Kanya long to mop most of the water up. It was still damp and slippery in places, but it would have to do. Eli took the towel from Kanya and hung it over a railing with his jacket to dry out.

 

"Come on" he said to Kanya having calmed down a bit. "I promised you something to eat."

[Shadowwolflegend]

(( I keep meaning to post on here then idk what happens but I don't in the end sorry ^^)

 

Lydia turned her head to the bathroom where it seems a lot of people entered recently. She sighs hearing a crash and what sounds like running water. If we cannot cordinate inside the friendly area, how are we suppost to last out there in the battle zone? she thinks to herself leaning back in a chair becoming numb to the emotions she was experianceing earlier.

 

-------

 

Samael sighed feeling that even though he is trying to be friendly it just isn't working for him. Feeling the need to relaxe Samael sits down on the floor with enough room for him to spread out without harming himself. He slowly goes into simple yoga poses before starting to become more advanced going into a Forearm Stand to a Scorpion Pose.

[Rarek]

Andromeda knew that Jack was the first to make his way into the bathroom, so she just rolled her eyes at the sound of water hitting the floor. She still didn't know how Jack worked, but she decided she just didn't care any longer. It was foolish to keep wondering about someone who just seemed so mentally immature. The only credit she could give him would be that he came back alive. I guess I'm gonna have to force him to display his powers somehow. Shouldn't be hard. Or...

 

She wondered if Kanya knew anything. She did go into the arena in a death match after all. Two things to try. She sat back and worried no further. She set about straightening the tangles in Cassandra's hair. You're the one who needs the most protection, she thinks.

 

Cassandra jumped when the faucet blew, and was shivering gently while it was being mopped up. Everything gave her a scare if it was unexpected right now. Then she felt Andromeda's hands straightening the tangles in her hair, and she laid against her side. She almost seemed like her arena mother from the way she watched over her. She was the only one that came the closest to gaining her trust. The rest would have to come in time.

[DragonSpirit009]

Once they were finished Kanya gave out a sigh of sudden exhaustion. After the fighting, emotional struggles and drying up this watery mess had taken its toll on her. When Eli mentioned food the girl only took note of her growling stomach. It was embarrassing that it was quite making a lot of noise but she couldn’t control it any more.

 

“Yes I’m starting to feel a bit light head now.”

[TotallyDrow]

With Eli and Kenya taking care of the water, jack had stood up. Placing the bucket back in the corner, where it originally was.

 

Stepping over to another sink, he began to get the water off of himself, squeezing his straw hands and watching the water dribble out.

[Fortune86]

Eli gingerly took Kanya's arm, as though he was expecting her to explode at any given moment, and gently escorted her out of the bathroom. He led her over to a chair and asked her to sit while he got her something to eat.

 

As he appraoched the hatch he suddenly remembered that it only gave out one dish at a time. He might not get anything for himself, but these thoughts were driven out of his mind when he noticed the slip of paper pushed through alongside a plate of meat and bread.

 

He took the plate and piece of paper with even more caution than before. He walked over to Kanya and haded her the foor before properly looking at the names on the list, dreading that he would see his own name.

 

In bright green ink was four names. His own was not amongst them.

 

Andromeda Callaghan. Alia Kirol. Vex Walker. Samael.

 

Green ink. August had said that meant a challenge of some sorts, like the Grabboids. At least that meant no had to die, but what would they be facing?

[Rarek]

Andromeda continued to muse until she noticed Eli with yet another slip of paper. The jerk probably sent us another death match. She felt worried that Cassandra's name would be on it, especially so soon. Worse yet, she cringed at the prospect that both of them could be on it. She drew in a deep breath and rose to her feet, ignoring Cassandra's protests. She looked back at the young girl with a pitying expression. She isn't mentally prepared for any of this, why is she even here? Perhaps this is Zygard's idea of a sick joke, putting helpless children in the arena for his entertainment.

 

"What is it this time Eli? Has that wonderful host of ours invited a few of us to dinner to apologize for the inconvenience he's caused? I'm sure he's really quite a nice man in reality, and this was all a big misunderstanding." Her sarcasm blazed through her words in the sheer contempt she held against Zygard, knowing full well she was the closest of the group in getting herself killed trying to take him down. There was also fear however, that she did in fact have her name and Cassandra's especially upon the page in red ink, having to kill anyone at all. She didn't think she could, not even Samael or Jack. Not now.
