The three level 4s were too strong all together. Allen held an unconscious Kanda on his left side, his arm wrapped around the exorcist's waist to keep from dropping him. On his right side, he was supporting Lavi, who was severely injured to the point where he could barely walk on his own. Lenalee struggled to support Lavi's other side, seeing as Allen was already completely carrying Kanda.

Allen hurried to open the Ark before he completely lost consciousness. He couldn't keep his mind straight. He rushed from one thought to the other as panic was quickly overwhelming him. He used the last of his strength to open the Ark, but were it was opening to, he didn't know; he was losing awareness fast and the Ark had not completely connected. But they had no choice: the level 4s were about to attack again. Lenalee nearly pushed the three boys into the glowing gateway, seeing as she had more strength left than they did.

At first it was dark. Where were they?

Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Rain.

It was pouring.

Lenalee slowly opened her eyes and tried to focus them. The terrain was rough, rocky. A pool of water, maybe a foot deep, collected on a slope to the right of her, maybe ten yards away? She couldn't tell. The only light came from the lightning that flashed every few seconds. Through the flickers of light, she could see her friends scattered around. Kanda was a few feet away leaning up against a large rock. Lavi lay on the drenched ground about three yards away. They were both unconscious. Lenalee looked around desperately. Where was Allen?

She slowly got up from the wet soil. Her legs felt like they would give way any moment. Glancing around in what faint light there was, she spotted Allen. He was part way in the pool of rainwater she noticed a moment ago. She ran to him, although it was more of a hurried limping. Carefully pulling him out of the water, she watched as his chest slowly moved up and down. He was still alive. She sighed with relief. But it wasn't over yet.

"Allen!" she said. "Can you hear me?"

A slight mumble came from Allen. He was barely aware of what was going on. Lenalee looked him over. He had cuts all over his face and arms. His uniform was torn at the left shoulder, ripped over his chest and down his side. He was covered in bruises, mainly on his chest and face. She figured he probably had a few broken bones too.

Lenalee struggled to carry Allen back over to where the others were. She leaned him up against the big rock, right next to Kanda. It's a good thing they're both unconscious otherwise they'd be arguing like crazy right now, she thought, although she did wish they would wake up soon. She then went to bring Lavi a bit closer. Judging by how fast the water in the pool was rising, she realized that if the rain kept up like this, they would be a foot under water in no more than an hour. She made sure the three boys were propped up, not knowing how long they would be here- after all they survived through, it would really suck if they drowned in rain water now.

Lenalee was falling in and out of consciousness. It was still raining and the three boys still had not moved. They were all severely injured. She had to find help… if there was any to be found, that is.

Jim looked out the window from his room on the second floor of his mom's inn. It was still raining.

"Jim!" called a female voice from downstairs. "Can you come down and clean up the tables for me?"

It was his mom, Sarah Hawkins.

"I guess," he mumbled to himself. Then he replied a bit louder so she could hear him, "I'll be down in a few minutes!"

The rain hit his window rapidly, not allowing for the slightest moment of silence to peek its way through. He stared out the glass, trying to focus on what was outside through the dripping water. The lightning provided a slight amount of light, enough to make out shapes and some colors, although not very many details.

His mind wandered around randomly. He thought about last summer, when he had been on a ship for months looking for the legendary Treasure Planet. That was the first time he ever really felt like he had done something important, something meaningful. That was 4 months ago. He wondered if he would ever see Silver again.

His mind faded back to the present. He continued to stare out into the darkness outside. Then he saw something move.

He couldn't make out what it was. The water was dripping down the window making it very hard to focus on what he was looking at. Then, getting a little anxious, he opened the window so he could see a bit better. The wind blew the rain into his room and he was soon dampened on his front, which was facing towards the source of the water. He stuck his head out the window and squinted to keep the rain from getting in his eyes.

After glancing around for a few seconds, he finally found what was moving a few moments ago. But it was no longer moving. The lightning flashed really bright this time and he finally realized what it was that he saw. It was a person, lying in the mud, in a position that seemed as if maybe the person had tripped.

Jim hastily ran downstairs.


I am actually really pleased with how this turned out so far ^_^

How do you think it's going so far? Please review! It will make me happy!
