Well I guess 1 review is better than no reviews. I really need to hear some feedback here people! Please, I feed on it! ...And I'm starving to death! Come on!!! Oh! I forgot to mention I have just been declaired the worst speller in the world so please bare with me while I fix my spell checker!
The joints of his knees were starting to feel sore. Yet the amphibian-like man continued on his journey as he followed the girl through town and passed several country roads and after making his way through several other difficult areas she reached an abandoned warehouse just near the county line. He scolded himself now for not have taken a car to follow this kid around. It was hard enough trying to cling to rooftops, but as he followed the small car she was in, he began to realize that following her by foot wasn't the greatest idea he had ever had. He wasn't even the one who had suggested it, in fact he wasn't really up for the whole "plan" in general. Yet he was following orders...besides it wasn't like Toad had anything better to do anyway.
"Robert Jackson." He could still hear Magneto's voice dripping with disgust at the sound of his name.
"He claims to be a friend of the mutant community." He had said. "Yet he still has yet to vote on the latest registration. While other parties have have at least made their decisions for the poll that is to be taken at the end of the month Mr. Jackson has yet to do so..."
"Well what do ya want us to do about it?" Interrupted the Beast-like man who had been siting in the corner at the time.
"Along with Mr. Jackson there are two other members of the senate who are undecided with their placement. I propose we give them a little motivation to keep them from changing their minds." He had walked slowly and surly to the small table in the middle of the damp room. Then he pulled out a small valerian file that held three pictures that were turned over. He sighed then looked around the room showing the three pictures.
"Mr. Jackson along with Mr. Barbaric and Mr. Slang stone have been blessed with four children between them." At this the shape-shifter at his side turned on the headlight that was attached to the ceiling.
The pictures looked as through they had come through the school. As one held the face of an average looking boy no older than seven, the other wallet sized photo shared a picture of a toothless eleven year old girl. The biggest picture on the bottom however was one of a young woman in formal attire: her long hair pulled up with artificial flowers standing in it matching with her off the shoulder dress.
The pictures found their place in the hands of mystique, and Sabertooth. But as Magneto handed the last picture to Toad he snarled.
"What exactly did you have in mind here Mags?" He asked dangerously.
Magneto smiled. "Why my dear Mortimer, I thought you would never ask." He said still smiling although Toad clearly shifted uncomfortablely at the saying of his old name.
Magneto's smile grew wider as he answered the confusion of the room
"Gentlemen and my dear sweet lady...we have tried murder, stealing, and thefts of every kind. But people tend to not respond well to these actions. Mostly because it doesn't effect them personally. So...lets find a new way to convince them." His smile grew into a serious unreadable expression,
"You have one week to memorize your subjects, find their weaknesses and explore their daily routines. We will all meet back here with our subjects...I realize kidnapping isn't the most pleasant crime in the world but...it's for the greater good of our kind..." He had babbled on for some time later but most of the party had stopped listening.
So now here he was jumping from roof top to tree to anything really that he could cling his hands onto. Why couldn't he have gotten one of those younger kids? Damn! now here he was following this kid all across creation. Where in the hell was she going anyway?
"Where in the hell are we going Jainy?" Yelled Eva nervously to her friend in the driver's seat. She began squirming around, they had passed the movie theater 15 minutes ago and now they were stopped at some old factory or something that had music blaring through the windows and kids of all ages drinking out front.
"I told you we were going to have some fun tonight Eva." Replied her friend as everyone else got out of the car. Eva glared her eyes and was about to say something before Jainy beat her to it.
"Look I know you've been really stressed out lately so I thought it would be fun to do something a little different for a change. Just to loosen you up..."
"Do you have any idea what my parents will do if they find out I'm here?!" Blurted Eva angrily.
She had begun panicking when she began recognizing the building as the old Elliskmo factory, some company where a bunch of workers were killed years ago in a fire and had been closed down shortly afterwards. Now it was a popular hang out for most teens in the area, or also known as a great place for a rave and perfect supply shop for any kind of drug you could imagine.
"That's why I lied and said we were going to the movies. Eva, honestly your such a freaken-goody-goody! I knew you couldn't intentionally lie to your family...so here we are!" She said with a little more enthusiasm than necessary.
Eva sighed and rubbed her brow. "OK" She said in a frustrated agreement. She forced a smile to her face desperately trying to ignore the headache that was quickly entering her skull.
"Lets have some fun."
Several minutes later a clearly underage bartender was screaming in her ear. "What do you want to drink?" He said slowly and with his eyes wide open as though she was slow. But Eva who still couldn't believe she was there was simply just having a hard time hearing anything above the music that was invading the senses of everyone around.
"She'll have a 7&7!" Screamed a man to her left. She quickly turned her head to meet the owner of the voice. He had a generally attractive face although his smile was a little too inviting for her sake. He looked maybe a couple years older than her, but it wasn't that fact that was making her uncomfortable.
In her attempts to simply walk away and find her so called friends who she would of liked beating the crap out of at that point the young man stopped her and flashed her an apologetic smile.
"Look, I'm sorry." He said sounding somewhat sincere. "You just seemed like you had a hard time ordering...I haven't seen you around here before." He said trying to start again.
Eva didn't reply instead her eyes scanned the room for any face she could run to that seemed familiar.
"My name is Tom." He said softly. Eva turned to him, determined that her instincts were just a little underdeveloped. Maybe she could have a little adventure for a change, Hell it wouldn't kill her would it? She smiled and picked up the clear drink on the bar table.
"Eva." She replied holding out her hand. He took it gratefully, the glimpse of victory clearly showing in his eyes.
"You want to dance Eva?"
"Yeah," She replied with more confidence than she felt. "I'd like that."
The next hour continued uneventfully Eva and her new found friend spent several songs dancing on the broken and cracked concrete floor. Jainy had found her eventually, and having drunken way too much than she should have her words were slurred but her message wasn't.
"He's cute!" She exclaimed. "Glad to see you found someone to have fun with..." She winked and disappeared into the crowd to not be seen again for the rest of the night. As more and more people began coming in, and she danced more and more. Eva began to feel slightly dizzy with all the action, going on around her. Her silently complain who also had probably had too much to drink noticed this immediately.
"Wanna go outside and get some air?!" He shouted. Eva simply nodded for she could not find the words to come out of her mouth.
Exiting the building proved to be more difficult than she had expected. Pushing her way through person after person she could feel her dizziness growing, and just as she lingered in the doorway feeling like her knees were about buckle under her her newest acquaintance grabbed her by the elbows and steadied her and let her linger on his shoulder. "Thanks." She said quietly. And expecting him to reply she let the second stay before she began the conversation again.
"So um...you live around here?" Again..no response. Instead she began to notice him leading her to the back of the crumpling building.
"Hey. Where are we going?" He yet again failed to respond. Eva tried to tune into the sounds around her, there really wasn't much to hear, in fact panic silently filled her head as she began to realize just how far away she really was from everything. Yet her legs who felt like they were filled with lead failed to respond to her longing to go back to the party.
Her head still held the vibrations of the music and it was getting harder and harder for her to think. Darkness actually began to invade her mind, but she quickly snapped back to reality as she was thrown to the ground behind several trees.
"What in the hell-" She tried to say, yet the thought quickly left her as a large hand covered her mouth. Panicked thoughts were beginning to run through her head. There wasn't any light where she was and the odds of someone seeing her and coming to the rescue were unlikely. She tried to scream yet was greeted with a swift kick in the ribs. The pain dulled through her side yet the urge to continue her attempts to push the twice her size body off her didn't cease.
But just as suddenly as he had punched her for the second time his weight left her form. And the sound of screaming and a struggle followed. She sat up quickly scanning around for the source of her attacker, deciding not to waste any time she sat up and desperately tried to compose herself. She quickly proceeded to limp away back to where there were signs of life. And her attempts to swallow her tears failed as they silently ran down her cheeks.
Hearing a large bang at the end of a brick wall that stood behind the building she saw a figure slump down. Much too small to be her attacker, but instead the figure was slumped under several chunks of brick and lye motionless on the ground.
Someone had seen her. Someone had helped her. And now they were probably hurt and lying there. Alone and...
Wait a minute thought Eva what if it was an accomplice or something? A friend of the scum-bag Tom! It could be...
But as Eva stood there torn, sympathy took control of her better half and she sighed and swallowed with great difficulty as she quickly made her way over to the stranger who lye unmoving in the shadows.
Keep the reviews coming! Please?!
