Shadows [On Hold]

Blinded by Darkness

~Silver~

Ugh! This is such a pain! Why the hell did he have to be out here; and tonight of all nights! He's so heavy as well. Its so hard to drag him back to Gaia. I also still need to make my way back to Alcina's house. She told me she needed these herbs urgently, but I have no idea why. She owes me big time after this.

We finally made it back to Gaia. it was such a pain to drag him along. My back hurts now... I'm just going to leave him leaned up against a wall in some ally way.

Now. Time to go to Alcina's house.

~Belen~

Ah. My head hurts. Wait... Where am I? It looks I seem to be in some sort of ally way... wait. I was stuck in the woods before. Now I'm here? How did I get here? Oh right. Someone knocked me out... and brought me here? Weird. Oh right! I should go look for Jace and see if he's ok!

~Alcina~

*Silver walks into room*

"Where have you been?!"

"Umm... I had a few complications while coming. Anyways I'm here now." Silver smiled at me nervously.

"We can talk about that later. Now, did you bring what I asked you to?"

"Mhm." *Silver pulls out the herbs*

"THOSE ARE THE WRONG ONES!!" I shouted this at Silver, without realizing what I had just done. She backed away cautiously in fear.

"I-I-i'm sorry." She quietly mumbled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I will make due with the herbs you brought me. Thank you."

"..." Silver did not respond to me. Instead, she broke eye contact with me and couldn't even look at me.

~Silver~

I'm still in a bit of shock from Alcina yelling at me. She rarely yells at me. When she does, It usualy means she's super serious, and she is super scary.

"I am going to be heading back now."

Out of shock, Alcina says "Why?! It's a full moon tonight. You cannot make it back on your own. Just stay here for the night."

"No" I say in a sharp cold tone.

"Your eyes have already turned silver..."

"I don't care." I throw up my hood and stumble on my way out of her house.

I find my way back to the woods after lot's of walking and lot's of stumbling. I'm pretty sure I cut my hands open a few times trying to catch my fall, but I'm not sure.  When I know I've made it back to the woods, I call for Brudo. He doesn't respond. I call for him once more in a loud call, and then again. Still no response. I guess I really am on my own tonight.

I start trecking through the woods, bumping into lot's of trees, and stumbling on over grown roots. It's been ours since I started trying to find my way back. Not long after, I feel myself falling towards the ground, unable to move. I feel trapped and alone. For the first time in years, I feel afraid...

~Belen~

It's been a while since I started looking for Jace. Maybe he's lost in the woods now because he was too busy looking for me. After careful consideration, I decided to head into the woods to look for him. I can't just leave him there if he is.

After another hour of walking through the woods, I come across what seems to be a person laying on the ground... Wait. No. It's a girl.

"Are you ok?" I ask in a shaky voice.

"I asked if you are ok." I asked again, but in a more confident voice.

Still no response. I go cautiously closer and see she's wearing a black hood. I go around to see her face. She has long dark brown hair, with a few curls. Her face is pale as if she's sick. There's tear stains down her face as if she's been crying.

My first reaction to this right now it to help her. I have to get her back to Gaia and get find help. I pick her up and hold her on my back as I start to walk back to Gaia.
