Namine blinked back tears, feeling the cool end of the gun against her temple. But she knew wasn't the time to panic. She was protecting her friends, and all these innocent people. If she overreacted, all of them would. And they would all die. One of the men went to the gate and punched in a code, opening the gate. And then, just like that, Black lead Namine out of the store, using her as his "shield". Sora kept his eyes on the men when they headed out. One of them talked in low tones to another, and Sora couldn't help but overhear them. Well, not completely, but he caught the gist of it. Gummi Ships. These men weren't from this world. His heart beat rapidly, his eyes widening. Did his friends hear it too?
Haha, yeah, that's kinda bad. ;D Still, it's pretty funny!
Namine forced a small smile. "I'll be fine," she said softly. "They just want to get out of here--they'll let me go." Before he could respond, she pulled her hand out of his and slowly stood up. For his sake, she couldn't let him speak again. She had seen a man fingering his trigger out of the corner of her eye, and she wasn't going to let Roxas get shot. Black grabbed Namine by the arm and pulled her up with him. He turned to the rest of his men and nodded. "Let's go," he said. All of them grabbed onto a hostage and forced them in front of them, as if they were human shields. Namine was treated no differently.
It's okay, I have ADD t--SQUIRREL!! xP
Sora gritted his teeth in frustration. He would offer himself for her in a heartbeat, but that would only result in a bullet to the chest. And that wouldn't do anyone any good. He stared helplessly at his friends, powerless to do anything. Namine swallowed and forced herself to nod once. "I'll go," she said bravely. She wasn't pleased about it, but she had no other choice. And besides, they'd let her go as soon as they were in the clear. Black smiled at the blond girl. Apparently she was very courageous. But that really didn't matter in the long run.

Yup. I hope you don't have school; you're staying up pretty late for having a big test tomorrow. xP
Black nodded. "You two here, and you three there, stand up. You're coming with." The customers nodded and slowly rose to their feet in front of him, showing no threat. Sora kept his eyes on the man who was apparently Black. They were leaving? Just like that? Why'd they go through all the effort of keeping them in if this was going to end so quickly? Black pretended to count his men, and then shook his head, tisking. "We'll need one more hostage," he declared. He casually walked past the five selected ones and acted as if he were scanning all his options. His eyes landed on Namine. "You," he said, pointing unmistakably at her. "You're coming with us. Stand up."
Indoor Soccer- Falling Up
Wow, that's a while, haha. I've always been a part of my family, and for the most part, it's awesome. But I also love my solitude.
The police outside were silent--just as Black had hoped. The people of this world had a bad habit of ticking him off, but at least it wasn't too bad today. The cops knew when to back off. This would be over in much less than five minutes. Namine subconsciously gripped Roxas's hand a little more tightly. She didn't think she would be taken away from her friends--after all, why would they risk separating them when they had other hostages they could take? Causing more trouble than necessary didn't make sense to her. Sora exhaled heavily through his nose. There was nothing he could do now. The only thing he could do was wait it out and hope nothing terrible happened.
Contact- Falling Up
Yuppers. =) I'm so pumped for college. I love my family, but I feel like it's time to grow up on my own now.
"Keep your men back!" Black called calmly. "We have hostages. You attack us and we'll start killing them one by one. Namine started nibbling on her lip again, nervous that the police may do more harm than good. She didn't trust them--she only trusted her friends. "Stay calm," the chief said. "Let's talk this out." Talking is good, Sora thought to himself. It could buy him some time to come up with an idea. "Okay, I'll talk," Black said. He allowed everyone's hopes to soar until he spoke again. "In five minutes, I expect a clear exit from the store. We'll be taking some hostages with us. Follow us and they die. Leave us alone and we'll allow them to live."
Searchlights- Falling Up
Well, I try. =D I have my off days, but really, I'm just tryin to trust God with my future.
Black grunted. "Then start looking at the jewelry. Pick the best--we have to travel light," he said with a wink." Namine stopped nibbling on her lip and opened her eyes, looking toward the opposite side of the store. They'll leave once they have what they want, she thought optimistically. There's nothing to be afraid of... Sora kept an eye on the men, being careful not to make eye-contact. If they sensed him as a threat, then he was as good as dead. He needed to act afraid so they wouldn't target him. But at the same time, he needed to be brave for Kairi. What should I do? he wondered. Police men gathered outside the store, hiding behind large plants. The chief grabbed a megaphone and spoke into it. "This is the police! Show us your hands and put down your weapons; this doesn't have to end violently."
I was scared for a while too. But I know I'm going where I'm supposed to go, and everything's gonna fall into place. =D
Namine bit down harder on her lip when she felt a tear escape her closed eye. She quickly wiped it away, hoping nobody was watching her. She thought she felt a pair of eyes on her at that moment, but it must have been Roxas. Sora exhaled heavily, trying to keep his cool. It took a lot for him not to summon his Keyblade at that moment and get rid of this problem. But he knew that wasn't the solution to this problem. If they waited it out, then things would be fine. He hoped. Black scanned the store, seeing terrified customers crouching everywhere. As much fun as it was torturing them, he knew that no more of them would die today. They were here for one reason, and one reason only. And nothing was going to divert them from the plan.
I can't wait till next year either. xDD College...it's gonna be so awesome. No more high school drama.
