Ilikechocolate; Selene's notable powers are over water, electricity… That thing that killed her parents, and brought down that massive TV thing. You're my favourite reviewer, thank you!
Love & Hate
"Well, hello,"
Team 5ds stop in their tracks. For some reason the voice is vaguely familiar. It laughs maniacally at their confusion. Then the sound starts to travel, moving around them like a predator. The sound moves closer and farther, as though trying to show how much control he has.
"Death, life… Friends, foes… Hello, goodbye… Let them go…"
"Who are you?" Crow snaps.
His response is absolute silence. No sounds whatsoever and the ominous feelings disappear. They look at each other, worried. Then, from a distance, a loud explosion draws their attention. They each flinch back as fires erupt in a circle around them. Panic is starting to sink in fast.
"Death, life… Friends, foes… Hellos, goodbyes… Let them go…" a voice laughs, insane.
The silhouette begins emerging through the hissing, spitting and crackling flames. The heat pushes against them, making them weaker, and the invisible smoke begins constricting their airways. Images flash across the flames, racing from one side to another, but are indistinguishable.
"Give up, surrender your losses and ride into the sunset," the figure commands.
Wearing a riding suit and helmet, make it impossible to see who he actually is. Some strands of his chocolate hair hang loose, but that's all they can tell about him. They know this person in front of them isn't Sayer, which makes everything much harder. He chortles, pleased to confuse them even further. Pleased that he won't be caught.
"Where are they?" Jack yells.
"Who?" the figure asks, glowering, displeased.
"Selene and Carly," Akiza replies.
He laughs loudly. "I told you!" he yells, crazy. "Surrender your losses and go!"
Without further warning, the flames rush up and he disappears amidst them. He doesn't illicit a single scream or outcry of agony. It was all pre-planned. The flames however, seem reluctant to leave. They rage on, devouring more and more places in their path.
Jack growls. "You can wait here, but I'm going to find Carly!"
"What about Selene?" Akiza exclaims; fearing what Sayer might have done.
"Don't you get it? Ever since she came here, there's been chaos, and people disappearing! Look at those fires; they've come to stop us from getting to her. This is all for her," Jack growls. "Since she got here, people have disappeared, and some have died. She's killed people!"
Jack races off through the tiniest gap in the fire before it closes after him. Akiza won't meet anyone's eyes. To her, Selene was a psychic who couldn't control her powers. That was a feeling she knows well, and she doesn't want anyone else going through what she did. Especially, going through it with Sayer pulling the strings.
However, Akiza doesn't know just how much worse a fate Selene had been dealt, and how she decided to use it…
"Wake up Selene, it's a new day," Sayer smirks, standing in the doorway. "There's a task I have that only you can accomplish."
Selene glowers up at him through her forest of hair from her place on the hospital cot. The glare is feral in every sense of the word. Wild, fierce, untameable. Slowly, a smirk forms on her face. The new twisted expression chills him to his bones, but he tries not to let it show. She raises left hand, and beckons him closer.
"Come and get me,"
Author's Note: Sorry, because this was written in advance, I'm sure! We're in holiday in Lesvos, Molyvos; it's a great, quiet place. The Wi-Fi here isn't the best, and so that's a bit disappointing. Although, day one, we drove to Manchester with the worst set of directions ever written.
DO NOT use Bing maps!
We couldn't sleep the day of our flight, and we had to get up at 6! We got better seats for free though, and a lovely breakfast. Then we got to the apartment place/ hotel, and we had been double booked. So, instead of staying for two weeks, we get kicked out the last four days. Luckily, she, hotel owner person, said she'd pay for us to stay elsewhere.
Then dad suggested we go for a nice walk to the harbour. If we hadn't got to the taxi rank when we did, I would have collapsed, my mum too. Our feet were killing us. So much for our chill out day….
Evicted on day 1.
After one night's sleep, we went to the pool, and dad said there was a barbeque, but it was too early for that. So, dad and I went down, and it was a fire. An actual fire set by some pyromaniac. So, mum had to grab our stuff and run. So much for our replacement chill out day…
Evicted on day 2.
Day three, everything was fine. We came back to the apartments. Then, a doorframe fell on mum's head just as we were going to go out. Plus, we found out we didn't win the euro millions lottery, which would have been nice with all the bad luck we're having.
Day four the Wi-Fi won't work like it did yesterday. Taxi's are also on strike, and we don't have anything to eat in… Dad's close to throwing a fit.
Day 5, nothing bad. Now it's day 6 and we're getting snippets of Wi-Fi! Sorry to keep you waiting!
