Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer

Percy took over, and just rolled his eyes. "Fine, but only cause it's for Simon." He said, before activating the field.

Heidi walked over to Simon, hugging him tightly. "I'll see you in a few weeks, alright? Be good..."

Simon nodded, hugging back just as tightly. "Be careful, don't do anything stupid..."

"Simon, who do you think you're talking to? I'm the queen of stupid," Heidi laughed, ruffling Simon's hair, before glancing over at Benji. "Oi, you get over here too."

Benji shuffled over hesitantly, and Heidi proceeded to hug both of them. "Play nice, okay? If I here that you two were fighting again, serious shit will go down."

Simon made sure not to touch Benji as much as possible while they were in Heidi's embrace. "We promise."

"...Yeah," Benji mumbled, really wishing that Heidi would let go of him.

Heidi sighed, releasing the two. "I'll see you both in a few weeks," she smiled.

"Okay..." Simon let out a chuckle. "Still, be careful."

The black haired boy then walked back over to Elena.

Erika smiled at the moment, trying to ignore the kicking in her stomach area. You sure want to get out soon don't ya...?

Heidi pushed Benji after Simon, while Elena kind of hung back. She wasn't really too close to anyone except Simon and Erika, and they were coming with. After a brief moment of awkward silence, Heidi shuffled back to where she had been standing with Tom, rather eager for everyone to leave so she wouldn't break down in tears in front of so many people.

"..." Erika sighed, saying out loud. "Not even a hug good bye. Jeeze what a stingy friend..."

"Damn straight. My hugs ain't cheap, y'know," Heidi responded, sticking her tongue out childishly at Erika.

"Then what do I have to do to pay for one?" Erika asked.

"Tell Jojo to stop being such a whiny asshat," Heidi nodded. "Yeah, that'll do."

"I'll tell him once Percival has swtiched. Now hug me!" Erika said.

Heidi rolled her eyes, giving Erika a rather awkward hug, as she was trying to avoid the ever-growing baby bump.

Erika let out a laugh, patting Heidi's back. "Take care."

Neo watched the group from a distance, Smiling as he saw them. "Good to see that..."

"I will," Heidi assured her quietly, before pulling away.

Nathan folded his arms and watched as they all began to say their goodbyes. He would wait until Sage got here and then tell Ryker to begin to teleport everyone. The sooner everyone was out of the way, the sooner they could begin their preparations.

Kira frowned slightly, sensing someone running through the forest. Reaching out with her Flow, she realized it was that little girl that she and Luke had taken to the village. "I...need to go check on something," she told Luke, before jumping out of the treehouse and taking off towards Sara.

Said magic user was still fast asleep in bed, having been exhausted from de-charming her whole house. All of which, she was sad about. Like the broom. I mean, who didn't love a broom that cleaned the whole house for you?

Sara kept running, not even stopping to try and catch her breath. She neeed to get as far away as possible, before they discovered she was missing, and then send the vine and knife demons after her.

OOC: I like how Kira's a demon.

Kira frowned, managing to cut Sara off, creating a boundary of thick brush around the two of them. Hopefully she could get her to calm down this time. "Are you okay...?"

And that's when Sara saw her, it took her a moment to register it, but her mind was finally able to comprehend that the vine demon was her. She let out a high-pitched, deafening to scream, before turning around, and running away from her, only to run straight into the boundry wall.

Paniced, she began clawing away at it, using the knives she stole back to cut a way through, and when that didn't work, she tried climbing it. All to get away from the demon.

Kira winced when Sara tried to cut through the brush, fresh cuts appearing on her arms. The brush would shake her off every time she tried to climb it, and Kira slowly moved closer, calming flowers growing around Sara. "Shh, it's o-okay..." she shushed quietly.

Sara just screamed even more, thinking this to be a demonic trick that the demon played before she slowly strangled their victim to death. She pushed the flowers away, continuing to try and claw and slice a way through the boundary.
