Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer

Kira winced, blood starting to drip down her arms. "Pl-Please...please stop that..." she asked quietly.

Sara once again tried to scale the boundary, not knowing what her attacks were doing to Kira, only desiring to get as far from her as possible.

Kira frowned slightly, reaching out and hesitantly holding the back of Sara's shirt. She could easily yank away if she wanted to, but still. "Pl-Please calm d-down..."

Sara let another scream, trying even harder to escape, now that demon was right on her.

Kira blinked back tears, getting rather upset by this. Why didn't she listen? This was so frustrating. She backed away from Sara, shaking slight. "I'm s-sorry..."

Sara just ignored her words, as some sort of evil, trick, and continued to climb, her hand grasping the top of the boundary.

Kira sighed, the boundary shaking Sara off again. "P-Please listen t-to me, okay...?"

"S-stay away from me!" Sara yelled, quickly running to the other end of the boundary, away from Kira.

"I-If you'll listen to me, I-I'll stay right here," Kira said quietly, biting her lip. The blood loss was starting to make her dizzy.

"J-just leave me alone, demon!" Sara said, trying to scale this side of the boundary wall.

Kira blinked, rather shocked by the fact that she had just gotten called a demon. "B-B-But I'm a-a-a p-person..." she whimpered. Was she really that terrifying?

Luke perked up, feeling an extra person's body heat on the far side of the forest. Curious as to who Kira was talking to, he stood up, dropping down to the ground and beginning to jog over. He left his sword behind, figuring she was just talking to Jayden or something. He kind of hoped it was Jayden, since he felt to need to thank the guy.

Nathan frowned before glancing over at Ryker. "Sort them all out so that they're ready, I need to get someone." He didn't stay for a reply and instead blurred away from everyone, heading straight for Sage's house. It didn't take him long, nothing ever did when you could move at bullet speed.

He knocked on the door, trying to see what was keeping her.

Ryker meanwhile had shouted to get attention and was trying to organize everyone into an orderly group. The main problem seemed to be getting the Illuminati and the Acer villagers to actually stand together.

Sara continued to try and climb the wall, refusing to listen to Kira.

"Y-Your name i-is Sara, right? Please c-calm down... There's an a-army coming, a-and I don't want y-you to run into them! Please stop climbing the walls..." Kira begged. This was starting to get hopeless.

Luke began to hum, his voice echoing through the forest as he strolled towards the two girls.

"G-get away from me!" Sara yelled, he hand once again grasping the top. Almost there...

Kira groaned when she felt Luke approaching, having been hoping to sort this out herself. Vines grew in front of him, twisting into "slow no weapons."

"I-I'm not going to h-hurt you!" Kira protested weakly.

"Liar!" Sara said, pulling herself up to the top of the boundary, before jumping down to the other side.

The boundaries turned into dust, as Kira sighed, running a bloodied hand through her hair, before she got an idea. Thick vines sprouted around Sara, acting as a cage of sorts, while Kira ran off towards Luke.

"Yo Kira, what's up?" Luke called, before his eyes narrowed and his temperature began to rise at the sight of Kira's blood.

"C-Calm down, i-it's fine, it's f-fine!" Kira stammered, feeling the plants around Luke wilt a little. "I n-need your h-help with something..."

"What is it? Who hurt you?" Luke asked, his tone surprisingly calm.

"I-I accidentally hurt m-myself, it's f-fine," Kira answered, pausing before continuing. "D-Do you remember th-that girl that r-ran through the forest? A-And we sent h-her to the village? Well, I-I think she l-left, s-since she was running through the forest a-again, a-and I didn't w-want her to get caught up in the fight, a-and I tried t-to tell her to go b-back to the village and g-get teleported away, but...uh...she h-hates me," she explained.

"B-But I got an idea! Since y-you got healed, m-maybe she won't recognize you, and you can save her from m-me, since I'm a-apparently scary, a-and then you can t-take her back t-to the village t-to get teleported!"

Sara slashes away at the cage, trying to cut her way out.
