Location In Pursuit(The Woods)
Interacting With: Jay Hunter-Darling @McHaggis, Scout Presley @Liriia, Nina Jelen and Katalina Hargrave @kittyluna45, Alicia Smith @Nallore, Austin Williams @Wade Wilson, and Ashton Bryant @Undine
Figures of red running, muffled sounds of what seemed like words — that’s mostly what Jade heard. In front of her were people heading for what looked like woods or a forest. She couldn’t be sure. Jade couldn’t sure of what she saw, be it friend, foe, something in-between. Almost everyone and everything that seemed to reach out to her or that would alert someone else under duress was simply white noise to her. The only ones she seemed to be able to hear clearly were those that she had fixated most of her attacks on. The words of Jay, urging the shadows to run was heard by her as if a loud speaker was being played in her ears. She saw Katalina next to a shadow, looking fearful. Then the words of a certain dark-haired, red jacket-wearing female called out to Jade. The blonde’s head turned towards her, eying her. Jade’s eyes were blood-shot red, and her teeth were gritting against each other. “Friends..” Jade simply said, her voice eerie.
Taking one step forward, Jade froze, her head starting to give unimaginable pain. She saw …images of someone. No, not just someone, it was more than just one person; she saw several people in front of her. Again, the red started to fade. For a moment, she saw the wreckage around her. Jade’s eyes widened. What happened around her? Who had caused it? As she asked herself those questions, she then looked at those who were looking at her. They were looking at her as if she was fear itself. She saw Scout on the ground, Katalina and Alicia nearby, Jay holding Austin, and Nina was next to Ash.
Jade looked behind her, seeing that what was left of the party had been wiped out. She didn’t know what happened. Jade had no clue how it happened. She remembered just dancing and suddenly being in such a blind rage that all she saw was red. Jade didn’t like this. Gripping her head as her hands covered her ears and her eyes widened, Jade out a fearful scream, Jade fell to her knees. The only sight she seemed to have was the very ground that she was uncertain how it got that way. “Please..make it stop..” Jade cried out lowly. “I don’t want to--” Jade was cut off by something.
She was shaking her head, as if trying to fight off what was happening to her, but she couldn’t. Soon Jade’s view of the ground was going away. The clarity of the brown and green of the ground was soon becoming hazed by an overlay of crimson red. The vividness of a clear mind was suddenly gone and Jade’s previous wrathful self emerged once again.
“You are no friend of mine, Jelen!” Jade’s blood-shot red eyes went to Nina, a death glare meeting her. “I did nothing to you and yet you always looked at me with such a look of superiority. What makes you think you’re any better than me? Just because you’re not called the town slut, you think that gives you the right to look down on me!?” A wave of emotions that have long since been buried came to the surface as if Jade’s words themselves have become like the lava she started to bring through the cracked earth. “And you, Hunter! You broke my heart, stomped on it, and you took everyone away from me too.” Jade stepped forward, eyes falling on the red figure that resembled Alicia and Katalina, the one that hurt the most. “And then there’s you, Hargrave,” Jade’s body turned slightly, aiming it at Kat, “you’re the one that hurt the most. You came out of nowhere. You had no kind of previous connection to us and yet you ended up befriending MY best friend. You ended up taking HER attention away from ME! You’re going to make her forget all about me and I’ll end up all alone! That won’t happen — that CAN’T happen!”
What had to be going through her mind? All these years of Jade holding all of this in, finally it was being let out; all of the pain from being looked down upon, all of the heartbreak she felt from Jay dumping her, and to the fear of losing Alicia to Katalina — everything was being poured out for everyone to hear it. And she was just getting started. Jade disregarded everyone else. Her entire attention was undivided. It wasn’t split between everyone else. As much as she was livid with Jay and Nina, the one that Jade had all of this hatred and anger for was at the redhead beside her best friends.
With a raise of her arms, Jade commanded the magma to rise even faster. She willed it to do as she commanded. Though it would come with the cost of her nose starting to bleed, the magma came as if it were self-aware and sensed Jade’s intentions. It came above surface level. A wave of it started to fly forth Katalina — and by extension — Alicia. It came at both of them fast(as Jade forced herself to made it so, with the cost of her eyes and nose bleeding). If nothing wasn’t done fast, both Alicia and Katalina would burn alive.
Location The Woods — With Group II
Interacting With Dani Olivia Johnson @Symphoni, Tessa Gray @Kirah, Malcolm Okada @McHaggis, Alice Malone @Undine, Everett Wilcox @AcerRo, Peter Jelen @Saltwater Thief
Grant was relieved to see everyone, including Alice too.
When he and Olivia joined everyone, there was a wave of happiness that set in with Grant. Even though they weren’t exactly safe, there was at least strength in numbers. With his girlfriend, his sister, his sister’s savior, his cousin, a dear friend, and someone who could protect them, Grant felt safe. Even more to the point, he felt confident that they would be able to get past anything as long as they remained together as a group.
Well, that was until something forced them apart.
Grant didn’t even see it coming. It was like, one minute he was smiling, holding his girlfriend’s hand as tight as he could, and the next minute, thick vines forced them into groups of four. Grant screamed out to the top of his lungs; he screamed for DanI; he screamed for Olivia; he screamed for the strength that came with being in a group. Unfortunately, those screams were in vain. Grant was, along with Tessa, Alice, and Malcolm, separate from everyone else. What was worse for Grant was that he was without Olivia or his sister by his side
“OLIVIA! DANI!” Granted screamed at the top of his lungs, hoping that the sound of his voice. As great as it was, Grant hoped it would be enough to break the vines. But it wasn’t. He wasn’t able to do a damned thing. The vines were spiked, so he couldn’t pound on it, hoping to wear it down. If he were to pound on them, he would only hurt his only good arm.
Grant didn’t know how to fully use his power. He didn’t even understand it. Even if he did, would he be able to do? Would he be able to force the vines open just by repelling it? He just didn’t understand it. When the fear and panic set in, Grant began to breathe heavily and started to pace back and forth. “We have to get out of here,” he mumbled to himself over and over again.
