Xika stumbled. She walked up the doorstep, then knocked on the door. She waited for someone to answer, her strength failing. Maybe those recent experiments hadn't been such a good idea.
Dawn closed her eyes. "Is....is he still alive?" There was only one he she would ask about, but at the same time...she didn't want to know...Dawn opened her eyes, then scrutinized Angel and Spike's face. Spike's particularly. "Are you alright?" she whispered. Her voice seemed to be gone.
OOC: Sorry it took so long guys!! damned skating... BIC: Dawn's shoulder burned. She slowly opened her eyes for what felt like the twentieth time that day. She was back in a bed, with another IV in her arm. There was bandage on her shoulder. It was stained with blood, and taped on. She tried to move her shoulder, and bit back a whimper. Fire raced through her arm. She leaned back. She hated being a liability to everyone. She looked over, and saw Spike and Angel standing there. "Hi, guys." she whispered. "Where is Missy?"
Dawn reached up slowly, then with her other hand tried to free her wrist from his grip. She closed her eyes, trying to shock him one more time. Thomas grinned. "Fine then." He pulled out his gun, pointed it at Dawn, and pulled the trigger. There was a shot, then he jumped out the window. Dawn screamed as she fell, losing even more blood from the gunshot wound. OOC: Got to go, don't know when I'll be back :( bye guys! try not to do too much without me :p
OOC: five more minutes :( BIC:Thomas grinned. "I know her name, its part of the reason I need Dawn." Thomas looked down at the girl. She was pale as hell, and must be close to death from the spell. "The other reason is her heritage. Don't tell me you don't know what she is." he mocked, putting his free hand in his pocket. Dawn closed her eyes. Even now she could feel his intentions. She opened them and looked down at Missy in panic.
"I don't care about her sister." Thomas loosened his grip on Dawn a little. "Dead, this one is no good to you. It doesn't matter to me, though it would be more 'enjoyable' if she were alive." he smiled darkly. Dawn noticed Missy below her, but didn't make a sound. She didn't want Thomas to use his gun. But if he was going to, she would make sure it wasn't on her friends.
Thomas winced, then held Dawn out the window. "You hurt me, I drop her." he stated. Dawn was hanging in the air. She only knew, because she could feel the wind rushing by. Her vision was tunnely, but she hung on. Missy was safe, Leon was safe, and so were Spike and Angel. That's all that mattered. Dawn smiled to herself. Even if she died, she had saved them.
"Missy!" Dawn screamed Thomas smiled darkly, then let go of Missy's hand. He quickly leaped sideways, grabbing onto the window sill next to him, crashed through the window there, and ran to Dawn's room. "Hello, Dawn." he said simply, grabbing her. Dawn could only lay there, helpless. She had already used all of her strength to make him let go of Missy.
Xika closed her eyes and concentrated on her inner darkness. KuaXa, next to her, was a large patch of dark mixed with light. She turned her gaze around. In a building, a block away, was two dark spots. She couldn't make out what they looked like, but they were like her and KuaXa. She opened her eyes, and slipped away, walking toward the house.
Dawn felt the tremor go through her body. She pushed it away, then collasped, lying in the bed. Now she could only lay there, hoping it was enough, and wondering if she had any life left in her. Thomas felt a small jolt go through his body. He was about to scoff, but then a bigger jolt shocked him. Surprised, he fell backwards through the window, pulling Missy with him. He grabbed onto the sill, holding onto Missy's arm still. It was a long, long way down. If they hurt him, Missy would also fall. He tightened his grip on Missy's arm.
"Go get Dawn, and bring her to me." Thomas growled, trying to keep Missy under control. "I'm losing patience." He finally pulled her arm as far back as it would go. Dawn trembled as the shock ran through her body. Now all she had to do was make it more powerful and send it to him. She braced herself. This was going to hurt.
OOC: dawn is doin a spell of some kind, spike and leon are trying to negotiate the safe return of Missy. hehe Thomas is pure evil and fun to play :D BIC: Thomas winced again, twisting Missy's arm back further. The words grew louder in his head. Now he realized what it was. He smiled darkly, then ignored the words. "You might wanna check on your little witch." he said, backing toward the window. "She is trying something she probly can't finish." Dawn was weakening, but she kept chanting. Best case, this would shock him enough to let Missy go. She was too weak to actually kill him. Her head felt dizzy. Why was he doing this? Why did he have Missy?
The sword plunged into Thomas, left arm. He winced, then grabbed her other arm, and twisted it far behind her. Dawn closed her eyes. She breathed steadily, in and out, ignoring her surroundings. She might not come back from this, but anything to help Missy. She began chanting a spell she memorized in case of emergencies. She hoped she could finish before Spike or Angel stopped her. Thomas felt odd. As if something was trying to talk to him, but he couldn't understand what they were saying.
Dawn wobbled, then fell onto the bed. The IV was halfway out. She ripped it out, cringed at the sting, then tried to focus. "Carry her if you have to. I'm sure she could walk, with the right motive. She is a very determined girl.." Thomas was tiring of this game, he wanted the girl. "Now giver her to me, or Missy goes for a fall." He jerked his head toward the window. "It's a very long way down from the roof, I think."
OOC: *cringes* sorry....... BIC: Dawn struggled to rip out the IV, and stay standing. "If you won't help her, I will" she said. Thomas sighed. "You have three minutes to comply with my wishes. If you don't...I do something to her." A trickle of blood was running down Missy's neck.
"Spike, go help!" Dawn tried to keep her balance, she wobbled. "Please! He's gonna hurt her!" Her legs trembled. Thomas smiled."Bring Dawn to me. I need two minutes, alone, with her. If I get her, then you can have your girl, Missy, unharmed. Otherwise.." he pressed the blade closer to her throat, tightning his grip on her.
Thomas heard Dawn's voice. He wanted to walk toward it, but now the human was coming. He sighed. So much drama. Then he turned to face him, putting Missy in front of him with the sword to her throat. Dawn struggled to get up. Panic raced through her. She managed to get her legs out of the bed, again, then she stood up.
Dawn kept an eye on two of them as she concentrated on finding Missy. Panic, anger, worry ran through her mind. Flashes, chestnut hair, dark eyes, bloodlust Dawn opened her eyes in panic. "He has her!" she cried out, struggling to get up. It was like some force held her down. "Leon, he has her!!" Thomas moved quickly, he took her sword out of the one hand, and held it to her throat. "I hope you live long enough to regret this." he whispered. He pressed down harder on her throat.
Thomas smiled. "Kill her? Never. That girl has many gifts, but her other two...friends...are keeping her from them, the same two that tried to kill you I believe." He kept his other hand ready, waiting and cautious of another attack. "I want to talk to her. That's all. I swear upon my honor as a vampire. As one of your kind."
Thomas grabbed the hand that held the weapon, and pointed it away from him. "Only if you don't help me see her." he smiled. "She and I are....old friends." He tightened his grip on Missy's wrist. Dawn watched the two warily. "Spike, this is Leon. Leon, Spike. You two be nice," she added as she wearily put her legs back in the bed. "Or I'll stop you" Angel could have been asleep, he didn't move or say much. Dawn wondered what was going through his head. She turned her attention back to the other two, watching them suspiciously.
