(OK anything like this: ~This denotes some sort of telepathic communication or at least attempt at it~ Once again enjoy & please review)
Reaching a good spot they parked & continued the rest of the way on foot. Neither one had a set plan they just hoped something would come to them when it was needed. Reaching the gate Mark froze in his tracks looking around.
"What the hell?" He looked around & everything was as it was before. As if nothing was touched or moved from the night before. Krys faintly shook her head.
"Illusions." Was all she said before she walked through the rickety gate. Mark followed her unsure if she meant last night was or what they were seeing now was. Just another mystery that might need to get answered later.
"Ok so where do we look for her." He asked her.
"One moment." Krys closed her eyes focusing, time to put some of that training to use. ~Jade? Where are you?~
~Leave~
~Jade~
~Leave~
~No…you had me with you to watch your back I was dumb for having you go in alone~
~Only following my instructions, my orders, Now leave~
Her eyes still closed she began to walk in a random direction, Mark unknowing why was following her.
~Order are sometimes meant to be broken like now~
~NO leave~
~We want to help~
~We?~
~Yes We…Mark is here too~
~Mark?~
~Yes the one you think~
~Then both of you Leave.~
~No we both want to help you.~
~Nothing to help leave~
~I know you got hurt.~
~You not a healer…leave~
~No~
~I said leave…now~
~I'm not your pet to order around~
~for your safety…LEAVE NOW~
The last command caused almost a backlash of energy on Krys causing her to cringe with pain dropping to a knee. She hardly even noticed at first that Mark was still there alone touching her. Helping her to stand.
"You ok?" He asked trying not to look worried.
"Yeah I'm fine, not sure she is though."
"You two have a close bond?"
"Yeah I guess you can say that. She is here some where close, but doesn't want us here."
"Hmm like me last night."
"Yeah, but if she tried a repeat good chance you won't have a reason to run."
"HEY! I didn't run." Taker said trying to almost defend himself.
"We will discus that later, lets just find her before it gets too much later."
"Well any more clues this isn't exactly a small place."
"Yeah this way." Krys began to walks towards a section of the cemetery that housed different mausoleums. "Before you ask…she needs to watch her expose to the sun…so I figure she would be hiding some place darkened." She started to look around them using her heightened senses to try to track her down. She reached one where there was a break in the seal of the door & she could also make out faint breathing inside. Stopping right outside she motioned Mark to wait. At first he shook his head no. "We have no time to argue. Just wait here incase she tries to get past me. We known each other for too long for her to harm me. I hope that's true " A Reluctant nod as Mark took point outside.
Slowly pushing the heavy door Krys crept inside. A smell of decay from ages ago filled her senses. Defiantly a place she didn't want to be in longer then she had to be. She didn't like what she saw in a corner of the room. Jade laid semi-curled in the corner. Her hair a tangled mess about her face, her eyes closed, her breath low & slow, labored to a point. Her clothing primarily the top barely rags covering her. The exposed skin showed various states of bruises, the worst thing was the five wounds that where on her chest, almost right over where the heart would be. A darkness radiated from them that even Krys' training could pick up, the same off feeling she felt from John when he was possessed. She also saw an odd burn on Jade's left hand. At first she wasn't sure what caused it along with the others…That was untill she noticed the dagger laying just out of Jade's fingertip range. It was then that she noticed the burn on her hand matched that of the dagger handle. That she knew had to be a bad sign.
"Ja.." Her voice got caught in her throat. She began to stand her legs felt heavy, wobbly. She had trouble standing but why…she then recognized the feeling…It was Jade. It was her draining ability…but why on her? She tried to make her way back towards the door. She felt her self begin to loose consciousness. She knew she was so close to the door but unsure if she could reach it. She focused what she could to get out the brief words before blacking out.
"Mark…Help." Was all she could get out before slipping into a darkness.
