On Our Own

Out of 5." i say with a chuckle at her frustration. "Anyway, I'm going to go outside. Relax for a little while. Comin?" i ask setting the cards down and grabbing my tray.

Jackie
I heard Mina shout to me from behind a near bush. "well took you long enough to give u- whats that?" I ask seeing the rock she was holding

Mina:

“I don’t know. I just found it, didn’t I?” I frowned at him for being dumb. “ComeonletsgoshowWillandLita!” I said in a rush then took off running.

Lita:

I heard Mina shouting my name and smiled. “Look what I found!” She came up to us with a little bounce in her step.

Will
I stopped what i was doing when Mina and Jackie ran up to us holding some brightly colored rock. I raise an eyebrow looking at it. "Its a rock." I say blankly. "Probably some person lost it after art class."

(sorry i havnt been on in a while. been busy and half dead because ofschool)

Lita:

"I don't know, I've never seen anyone do something like this in art class." I reached out to take it from my sister. "Its really cool!"

((It's fine, I totally understand. School sucks.))

Jackie
I continue to look the rock over. Yeah it looked really cool bit then agaon Will had a point. It was a rock. "Here let me see" I say and take it from Litas hands with my telekenesis. I brought it closer yo my so I could look it over, turn in it every which way. "Wonder why someone would just leave it in the park"

Mina:

“Maybe it’s from science class. Maybe we should give it back-“ I felt a little buzz go through my body, like cold electricity. My feet were suddenly glued to the ground and I couldn’t move, and from the looks of it, neither could the other three.

Will
I had started to reach out to take it from Jackie but i froze after feeling a shock go through my body. "G-guys" i manage to say painfully, it was difficult to do anything. "wha-" i started against before blacking out.

Jackie
I saw Will disapear right in front of us, the rock started glowing bright as i blacked out as well

Mina:

I woke up lying on the ground outside. It took me a minute to take in the palm trees above me. We didn’t have palm trees at the hospital. I sat up and rubbed my head. The air was clean and smelled wonderful, like the perfume my favorite nurse used to wear, it was called tropical mist she said. Now I looked around and didn’t see anything that looked like it was from the hospital. I was surrounded my palm trees and vines covering the ground. And I was alone. “Lita!” I shouted, suddenly scared. “Lita! Lita! Lita!” I shrieked, hysteria bubbling up inside me. Crackling sounds and little wisps of light surrounded me as a circle of electricity. I didn’t even stand up.

Lita:

One minute I had been standing with my friends and my sister looking at a pretty rock. The next I was submerged in icy water. My eyes burned. My lungs filed with cold stinging water. My mind didn’t even register that it was water. I had no comprehension of which way was up or what to do to find air. I just inhaled more water and thrashed.

Jackie
When i finally came to, i groaned and open my eyes slowly. I see the ground below me swaying lightly, everything upside down. I sigh and look up, seeing my feet tangled in some vines on a big tree. Looking around i notice that im in some sort of forest. I groan and untangle my feet, falling about 10 feet to the ground. "where am i.... Will? Mina? Lita?" I call out as i stand up.

Will
I woke up from thhe black out, feeling sand beneath my fingers. Odd, since i know that the hospital downst have any sand on its grounds. I open my eyes and sit up, finding myself on a beach, the air burned my nose as i took a deep breath. "What the hell." i ask myself, standing up. I didnt react to much, my attention immediately snapping to the water in front of me, sensing Lita in the water. I jump in quickly and swim to her, having to go underneath the surface quite a ways before grabbing her arms and swimming both of us to the shore.

Lita:

I hacked up water and sucked fresh air into my dying, burning lungs. I hunched over, coghing water up onto... Sand?

Mina:

I curled up into a little ball like a turtle and panicked. Electricity was crackling all around me, and I was scared. I had no idea what was going on.

I shivered quickly before sending steam through my nose, trying to warm up from the water. "Lita? You ok? Where hell are we" I ask quickly be for looking around. "Where's Jackie and Mina." I ask turning again looking out at the water. Panick was slowly making its way through me, my usual calm demeanor slowly breaking down

Lita:

I wheezed and sat on my heels, brushing sand from my hands. I looked around us, out over the water, then to the tree line further up on the beach we were on. It was impossible, but this was where we were. "Will, What if it's just us?" I asked anxiously

I shake my head a little looking around the beach, trying to find any sort of sign of the others being here. But from where i was, i couldnt. "We cant be.. And at any rate how did we even get out of the hospital?" I say taking a deep breath to try and calm down

Lita:

I shook my head and my eyes started watering. “I don’t know.” I said with a small voice. “Will what do we do? How do we get back to Mina and Jackie?”

I looked at her and frown a little, I had a soft spot when peiple started crying. "Hey come on, lets start looking around... who knows maybe they are around heere somewhere eh?" I ask kneeling down next to her. "You ok? Get all the water out?"

Jackie
I started walking, tryin to find a natural path but not having much luck. I pick up a stick, holding above me with my telekenesis prepared to defend myself if needed. "Mina! Lita! Will! Anyone?"

Lita:

I nodded and closed my eyes to try to stop the tears from coming then got to my feet. “Okay, let’s look. You’re right, they are probably around here somewhere.” I said as I brushed sand from my knees.

Mina:

I sat up when I heard someone call my name. “Jackie? Jackie!” I shouted back, still on my knees in the spot I had woken up. The electric bubble still surrounded me.

I nod a little bit and stand back up as well, turning to look at the forest and then to the side at the stretching beach. "Okay. first decision. Where do we start?"

Jackie
I stopped for a second when i thought i heard someone saying my name. After a second i realized there WAS someone calling my name. "mina!" i call out changing my direction to follow her voice

Lita:

"I guess we scan the beach, maybe they're on the other side of that stretch." I pointed down the beach where it went into a point and the trees obscured the other side.

Mina:

I finally got to my feet but I was too scared to move from my spot. "Jackie! I'm over here! Where are you?" I shouted.

I follow her hand to where she was pointing and nod a little, scr as thing my arm nervously. "Any clue where we are? Ive never been to a beach before." I say as we start walking, just trying to keep my head together.

Jackie
im over here!" I shout back breaking through the thick brush and finally catching sight of mina. "Hey Mina... mind toning down the electricity so I can not get shocked trying to get to you?" I ask standing just outside where blue shocks and vibrations going through the ground.

Lita:

"The only beach I've ever been to was flat and brown. Everything was brown and there were no trees." I said dully. "I have no idea where this is. I've only seen places like this in pictures."

Mina:

It took me a minute to calm down enough to stop my powers, when I did I ran to Jackie and clung to him.

Sounds like you went to a treeless forest, not so much a beach." I say blankly as we walk along the shore line. I shake my head a little, trying to get over the slight shock i still had. "Was it that rock thing that sent us here? How could that happen." I ask, mainly to myself as i create embers in my hand, letting it flare up smoke. Hopefully one of the others would see it once it got thick enough.

Jackie
I wasnt expecting to be tackle hugged but i hug her back tightly. "careful, just fell ouit of a tree. little sore now... where the hell are we?"

Mina:

I squeezed him and shook my head. "No, Where's Lita and Will?" I asked shakily.

Lita:

"Maybe they were trying to get rid of us. Maybe the rest will be showing up soon. Maybe this is some sort of holding area." I mused nervously.

I have no idea." I say holding her close for a second. "I havnt seen them anywhere.." I say and drop my amrs and looking around. "Any idea where we should go?"

Will
"Odd place for a holding us." I say shaking my head. "unless its just a shipping type place..." Or an execution island. sent here to die. I hea rin the back of my head and rub my eyes. Not the place to let that take over.

Mina:

I clung to him still and shook my head. "Maybe we should stay here, isn't that what you're supposed to do when you're lost?" I looked up at him with wide eyes.

Lita:

"We're going to get back though right?" While I had always fantasized about getting out of the place we had been kept for so long, I never planned on surviving in the wild.

((Sorry its been a while... I've been in a funk))
