Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 9

Simon got up. "You mean she isn't here?" The boy looked confused. [i]That's odd.[i]

"If we knew we'd tell you!" Josh exclaimed, worried.

"I thought she was out working or whatever..." Elena frowned. "You slept in today."

OOC: He was muttering that to himself...

---

Joey sighed. "...Can you two help me look for her?"

---

OOC2: Got to go...

"They can see what I see and hear what I hear. There's not really any way around it," Andrea said, adjusting her mask.

Adeline sighed and looked over over at Heidi. "I guess I should be explaining some things, huh?"

"Uh, yeah, that'd be nice," Heidi responded, looking a bit lost. Or at least, more than usual.

"I did?" Simon looked out the window to see the bright sun coming trough. "Guess your right..."

---

"We'll help." Josh nodded.

"Even I woke up before you!" Elena laughed, before holding her stomach and wincing. "Ow..."

"Right now lets see if we have any medicine for your stomach." Simon replied, goign to the pantry to look for herbs.

Elena nodded, following behind Simon.

"These are just preparations, just in case those guys who attacked me up in the mountains decide to attack the village," Adeline said, shrugging.

Heidi frowned. "Why would they? I mean, it'd obviously be a losing battle for them..."

"If I remember correctly...Their leader's Flow is something like voodoo magic," Adeline said. "They can't disobey orders."

"Oh...that's...that's..." Heidi trailed off, shaking her head. "I should go check on Benji..."

Simon picked out some herbs Erika told him would settle a stomache ache and started to boil them in a tea.

"I'm done here, so I should get going," Adeline said. "Unless you would like for me to go with you."

Elena sat down at the table, resting her head against it. This was too early, the only reason she'd gotten up was because her stomach hurt...

---

"You can if you want to," Heidi shrugged. "I'd say you already have enough on your plate..."

Paul blinked. They were here. On the horizon people started to appear, along with several vehicles. Well, the largest vehicle had shown up an hour ago, but now the people were starting to appear. They were leading along a giant...building on wheels. It was an old building, Paul remembered, with axels and wheels attached to the bottom. Most of the paint was stripped and it was coated in thick metal plating. There were very few windows, but in front of it were strange bi-pedal mechaliods, controled by pilots inside them. The rest of the people were on the ground on horses or walking.

Simon set the tea on the table in front of Elena when he thought he heard soemthing... well, more like felt it. A vibration in the ground.

Joey nodded to the twins. "Follow me." He said, before heading off in the direction if the river.

Elena blinked, looking at the ripples in the tea. "I think the ground monster came back..." she whispered fearfully.

"It's not really much, to be honest," Adeline said. "I can handle it."

OOC: That's Tom for ya.

Tom stayed silent, moving away from the shelter briefly to think.

Luke saw the reply from Nathan and nodded, casting a protective eye over Kira. He dangled his legs out the side of the treehouse, sating his boredom by creating his usual display of fire figures, from soldiers to fairies to mighty fire-breathing dragons.

Heidi shrugged, falling silent. While she wanted Ade to rest up and be okay, she was glad that she would have someone with her when she went to check on Benji. "Alright, then... Off to my house we go," she responded.

Adeline nodded and followed after Heidi.

Heidi opened the door to her house, looking around only to find that Benji had left. "We need to find Simon, now. Quickly."
