Sorry for not updating in ages. We just started back at school! Lol we actually asked all of our friends how they wanted to die and so here is the beginning of their answers. You probably won't get to know all of them because we are not killing everyone but we can post them in the Author's note if you want! Review!
Third Person:
Baxter landed heavily, sinking to her knees as her ankle protested. The brown hair which had fallen from her braid was hanging around her face, hiding the complicated expression which had become painted across her features. Although she wasn't exactly sure what was going on she knew that she would be at an automatic disadvantage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~…~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~…~~~~~~~~~~~~~…~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amber.
Dark blonde hair was hurriedly brushed out of the way as she stumbled, catching her balance only when she fell against a tree. The ninja star on her back was heavy, heavier than she remembered it being. Glancing around Amber noted her location, not that it would do her any good in the long run since she had no idea where she actually was in relation to anything else. Her brain was too busy trying to figure out how she had gotten there to actually really take notice of cliff edge not four metres in front of her, or the steep drop to the ground below. Instead she pushed herself upright and stared at the sky, trying to at least figure out what time of day it was.
The shadows from the trees stretched out behind them away from the cliff, but seeing as though she wasn't sure at all what direction she was facing it could be either early morning or late in the afternoon. When she had been at the base it had been morning, but she wasn't willing to accept that she had travelled here instantaneously.
"This sucks." She muttered to herself, wrapping her arms around her stomach nervously. It was only then that she realised just how much her lack of knowledge about the world they had stumbled into would put her at a disadvantage. The others, Zoe, Ty and Ashleigh, seemed to know almost everything there was to know about the people they were with and the situation they were – or at least had been – in. Somewhere deep inside she understood that with that knowledge they would somehow be safe, they would find a way to survive this and overcome it, just like they did with everything else. She stayed there next to the tree for quite a long time, watching the sun cross the sky as she tried feebly to formulate a plan of action.
"Where is everyone?" She whispered softly as she walked slowly over to the edge of the cliff, peering down over the edge as though it would help her to locate someone. Being as lost in thought as she was she failed to notice the person approaching her. Amber shuffled closer to the edge, trying to see as far as she could. A hand rested on her shoulder and she spun around, eyes widening when she got a face full of orange. The hand disappeared and she lost her balance, arms windmilling wildly as she tried to right herself.
A gloved hand reached out as if to help steady her, but it was too late. Her feet slipped and she plummeted over the edge, letting out a bloodcurdling scream as she fell towards the earth hundreds of yards below.
The orange masked man looked at his hand briefly before turning away from the cliff. The earth before him moved as Zetsu rose from the ground.
"You pushed her off. Why would you do that?" His black persona sounded threatening while his white side was merely curious.
"Tobi didn't push her! Tobi was trying to help!" Madara replied in his high-pitched, childish Tobi persona. Zetsu frowned at the complicated man, trying to figure out a reason to deny his obvious involvement in what had just played out. In the end it only gave the plant man headaches trying to understand the man, so he let the subject drop for the time being and disappeared back into the ground once more.
"And here I was actually going to give her a chance." Madara murmured to himself once Zetsu was gone, once more staring at his gloved hand. "Oh well. What's done is done." He quickly left the area, not wanting to be around should anyone actually find the body.
Ash POV:
Sitting next to the stream with my boots on the bank and my feet in the water I watched absently as the wolf – she had told me that her name was Silestra, a name I deemed extremely odd for an animal – walked back and forth, almost as though she were pacing. Using my kunai I had cut off a strip of fabric from the bottom edge of my shirt, revealing the mesh undershirt I was wearing. I dipped it in the stream and held it against the base of my head, trying to numb the dull throbbing pain that was still present from Madara's ambush.
"Damn…" If truth be told I had been bluffing about my taekwondo skills. It was true that I was better than my irritating younger sister, but she was awful, so it didn't amount to much in the end. I was just relieved that Madara hadn't called my bluff; otherwise I would most likely be dead.
It really wasn't a pleasant prospect.
I'm not entirely sure how long I had been sitting there for when I heard the scream. It was high-pitched – definitely a girl – so I knew that one of us had been struck down. The scream sent a cold shudder down my spine. I had no way of knowing who had fallen, or why, and I suddenly felt angry. Furious even. We came to this world to rescue Aimee-Leigh; we didn't sign up for a death match. Silestra let out a low growl, showing that she too had heard the scream, and probably much clearer than I had. For a second I contemplated asking her to take me towards that place, but I quickly shook away that notion. There was no way I wanted to see visual proof of the death of one of my friends. If I didn't see the body I could always pretend that everyone was still alive.
"This isn't a good sign is it?" I questioned Silestra, drying my feet off roughly in the grass before putting my boots back on. If I was going to jump to conclusions then I would assume that Madara had gotten to someone else, but I had to factor in all the other murderous criminals out there with us. Any one of them could easily have done it. I frowned deeply, scuffing my boots along the ground as I walked with one hand on Silestra's head away from the stream and deeper into the forest. My eyes were heavy and I was completely exhausted, but I couldn't afford to fall asleep so I forced myself to keep moving.
Unfortunately sheer will power could only sustain me for so long, and I passed out halfway through the forest.
-Orochimaru's Lair-
The base was silent for the time being, but that was subject to change at any moment thanks to a certain 'guest'. Sasuke had escaped the base to get away from her outbursts, Kabuto was attempting to create a narcotic to calm her down, and Orochimaru was holed up in his room seriously considering murdering her.
"POCKET BABIES!" An obnoxiously loud, high pitched voice rang through the base from the room where the earth girl was being kept locked up. No-one had figured out how she managed to be so loud, especially considering that they were only just feeding her enough to keep her alive.
"And that can easily be rectified." The snake man reassured himself, wincing slightly at the sound of her voice. He heard her voice once more and left his room in the direction of her own.
Amber POV:
Let me tell you, falling off a cliff is not something I normally would have succumbed to. I was never as clumsy as that back on earth, but the stupid hunk of metal strapped across my back was definitely my downfall. The second I lost my balance (because that creepy masked dude crept up on me!) I was done for, the metal weighing me down. Even though the orange masked guy weirded me out I still tried to reach out to him for help. I even thought he was going to help me, but apparently I was wrong.
Like any sane person, when falling from a high cliff I screamed my lungs out. What else was there for me to do? I was completely helpless and everything felt like slow motion. The wind whipping around the canyon even managed to flip me on to my stomach so that I could watch the ground getting ever closer. It wasn't a pretty sight. But while falling I had a while to think, the first though was, 'That fucking lollipop masked dude pushed me!' The second… 'What the- is that a person down there?'
As wind rushed past my face I saw a figure come into view, a few seconds later I landed on them with a painful 'Crunch.'
Normal P.O.V
My eyes were sore from watch duty all night but it had been worth it. So far I had already scared off a cat and…a rat. Very eventful. A shuffling sounded behind me and Deidara woke up, "Hey, un." He ended up in a slack sitting position next to me, hair in a mess of blonde. I thought it was kinda cute when it was shaggy like that. "What." Deidara stated, and I realised I was staring at him. I blushed slight, "Oh sorry, I was staring at your hair, it's so messy." I giggled which was weird for my character so I stopped quickly. Deidara quickly ran his fingers through his cool golden locks, straightening them out. "Oh uh I can take over now. Get some sleep," he said, giving my shoulder a nudge.
I tried to get comfortable at the back of the cave, bored; I ran my finger through the dirt, drawing patterns. My throat was starting to sting again so I gave it a slight rub. A ripple of pain hit my head and made me dizzy. I ended up staring at Deidara again, his silhouette outlined at the mouth of the cave. It was still a few hours until the sun came up and his hair was fluttering in the soft breeze. I shivered slightly and wrapped my arms around my sides, closing my eyes. I slowly drifted to sleep as Dei watched over me, I felt surprisingly….safe.
Ash POV:
When I opened my eyes I immediately wanted to shut them again as harsh sunlight attacked my irises. My face hurt, not to mention my clothes were damp since I had fallen asleep – more like passed out – on grass. As I pushed myself up into a sitting position I spotted Silestra curled up not too far away, apparently taking the chance to rest while I was conked out in the middle of a menacing forest full of murderers. Definitely the best place to have a nap.
"Oh for the love of Jashin," I muttered irritably when my fingers found my necklace pressed into my cheek. It was no wonder that my face hurt if I had been sleeping on that for any number of hours. There was likely to be a mark too, just another thing to look forward to in the grand scheme of things, having an imprint of an upside-down cross on my face. Wonderful.
Standing up I nudged Silestra to wake her up, ignoring the noises of complaint my stomach was making since I hadn't eaten since breakfast back at base which was who knows how long ago. The wolf seemed fine though, once she had had a little laugh at my expense. Really, she's pretty insensitive.
After quickly retying my boots I headed off in a random direction, hoping to eventually get out of that godforsaken forest. It really gave me the creeps sometimes. It was as I was walking and keeping one eye out for anything that looked edible that I stumbled across a pile of small bushes that seemed to have been flattened, almost as though someone had been sleeping on them. I didn't want to stick around to find out who had been there.
1 Hour Ago:
Baxter was walking cautiously through the forest. If her ankle had been fine she would have been making as much noise as she wanted and not cared if she was found, but now was a different story. Now she was in serious danger, so she was trying to be as quiet as possible, always looking over her shoulder. There were noises everywhere in the forest and she couldn't tell if some of it might be caused by a human, or whatever the robed men were. It was beginning to get dark and she needed to find some place to sleep. After searching for a long time she came across some large tree roots that formed a hollow and the area was surrounded by shrubs, making it concealed. She packed herself in with branches and leaves to keep warm but she had the strangest feeling that even though she was invisible to any passers, there was someone watching her.
A noise triggered her reaction and she leapt out of her hiding spot as Zetsu appeared, "Zetsu! It's you!" Baxter smiled widely. Zetsu gave her a slight nod of acknowledgement, "I don't want to end up killing you. I will go now." Her face dropped as Zetsu lowered his gaze reluctantly. Before he could leave a dull thud sounded and Baxter's eyes glazed over. He heard several more gut wrenching noises in those few seconds before she landed among the bushes, skewered by several arrows. Zetsu's black half took over and forced him to run. The plant man morphed into a tree nearby and settled in for the night, shocked. After thinking frantically for some time and once his heart had slowed down, the grief fading away, he realised something.
Nobody in the Akatsuki or any of the girls, used arrows.
*Shooters P.O.V*
"Seven clean shots. Target killed through shots to the heart, lungs and neck. Shall collect and then move onto the next target." They spoke into the receiver and then the call ended. Another hiss in the assassin's ear and a message came through. "New target: Code: 3xc09006v." The killer stared with black eyes towards the treeline in confirmation. Taking off from the vantage point they hurried to find the next target, the one they called Ty.
Sorry sorry sorry *holds out hand* Smack if you wish but sorry! Been so busy lately and depressed cause I wrote parts of my stories and then lost all of the work I did. Ugh stupid comp. Hope you enjoyed it, if you did (or didn't) please review so we know whether you want another chappy or not. :D
