Sitting, Waiting, Watching [Wanda, Flames, Wild]

[Melanie Flames Stryder]

Mel tested the name out. "Wild Water Currents. Too long. I shall call him Wild!" she proclaimed rather dramatically. Wow. She may have used the Awake, but she still had that slight insanity that came from not enough sleep and too much exertion. "Wild, and…that other one. How ‘bout Tiny? Much easier." Mel felt ridiculous, but it was too much fun.

"Mel, what's Goldilocks and the Three Bears about? " Mel looked up, surprised at the change in topic. It reminded her of another day when the two of them had been very near here, and Wanda and she had been together. Mel had told her fairytales then, too: Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood. She had never gotten to Goldilocks. Mel smiled and pulled Wanda down the tunnel a little. It felt wrong to sit next to the Seekers and tell stories. "Come here and I’ll tell you all about it." She sat against the wall and closed her eyes. "Once upon a time, there was a little girl. And this girl had the most beautiful golden curls, so everyone called her Goldilocks. One day…"

NOTES: I’m guessing Mel doesn’t tell her the version where the bears eat her…

Listening to the story helped get her mind off the Seekers and her eyebrows came together by the end. "So...I'm like Goldilocks? Since Goldilocks tries out all those things and when the bears find her, their upset but they learn to be friends." She said leaving out the part that the bears didn't beat Goldilocks up for being who she is. She chewed on her lip before smiling at Mel.

[Flames]

Flames woke to someone pulling off her coat. The instant when she woke up, she though she might have moved, but after that she was smart enough to stay still. Keeping her eyes closed, she used her other senses. The smell, the feel of the ground under her...they were still in that tunnel, possibly exactly where they started before. Flames pulled ever so slightly on the ropes holding her, and found they didn't seem so tight or well done as before.

And the sounds: moving around and then soft speaking. Two people. Two women. Flames successfully identified them as the two girls from every other confrontation. She still didn't move when they said Wild's name, or searched her again. When she heard them walk away a little, she dared to open her eyes slightly. There. A decent distance away and not facing her. Her foot was near Wild's shoulder. She moved it slightly to kick him, lightly.

Mel smiled back. With difficulty, she refrained from mentioning what a spoiled, greedy brat Goldilocks was. Instead, she added her own sugar-coated moral. "Right. And even though they’re so different they can learn to like each other and get along." There. An applicable moral to their current world problem. Mel felt like she was back telling stories to a nine year old Jamie and trying to cheer him up. Now he preferred action to fairy tales. Well. He would certainly enjoy them retelling tonight’s adventures. Stretching, Mel stood and wandered vaguely back toward the Seekers, facing Wanda. "What else haven’t I told you? Three little pigs? Jack and the bean stock? Little Red Riding Hood? No you heard that one..."

Wanda searched through Pet's memories until she found a story that Pet liked to listen to, but never heard the ending, since it was apparently sad. It wasn't a fairytale though. "Romeo and Juliet?" She asked, wanting to hear the end, she knew all the details about how their familes forced them apart, but there love was strong so they ran off and got married.

Mel kept walking slowly backwards. She smiled at the suggestion. "Shakespeare. It's a tragedy, though. Sure you want to hear it?" Mel raised an eyebrow and paused her walking, wondering how close she was to Wild and Tiny. Hm that should be able to go together. Wilny? Tild?

Something scraped behind her. Even before Mel could whirl around she felt hands around her head. Knowing what was next, she threw the gun in front of her as far as she could, hoping Wanda would be able to use it if she needed. Then Mel felt a sharp pain in her head and everything went black.

She slipped out of her ropes with much difficulty, trying to be unnoticed while the two chatted away. She hoped Wild could get out as well. Flames waited patiently, listening to them blabber as the taller one came closer. Finally, she came close enough and Flames made her move. With trained speed, she leapt up behind the human and grabbed and pulled her head sharply. She fell to the ground. Flames smiled and looked up to the other girl; the soul. She looked shocked, no surprised there. ”Wild!” Flames shouted, willing him to understand and get up to chase her.

[Wild]

Wild was far away. He could just hear the sound of Flames voice and he willed himself concious again. He opened his eyes and saw the brunett girl laying in front of him. He felt the ropes on his wrists and tugged at them. He slid his hand through the loose binds and then the other. He got up slowly, his head aching slightly, and looked at Flames. She had done a great job. He smiled at her and looked to the blonde soul. She was still awake. He kicked the girl on the ground in the ribs twice, hoping to hurt her. He wanted her to feel pain like he did, even if it wasnt the same. He bent down and whispered in her ear, "Wanna feel my pain?" He knew she wouldnt be able to hear her since she seemed so limp.He kicked her one last time before leaning down to grab the gun.

Wanda shouted when Mel was attacked. She heard the gun land near her and heard the male Seeker speak to Mel before stepping over the gun so it was behind her. She saw the bigger Seeker dive for the gun and paniced. She reached down and grabbed the gun before looking at Mel. "I'll be back!" She said, even if Mel couldn't hear her. She turned and began running towards the main plaza.

It was, Flames reflected, probably a good thing she had frozen for a moment before running. It had made it possible for Flames to start running after her at the same. She sighed. These people were just so difficult. Without slowing down, Flames snatched the latern off the ground where the soul had left it and tucked it under her arm. A rope trailed from her other wrist and she grabbed the end in her opposite hand.

Flames was tiny, but the girl was even smaller than her, and Flames had both trained muscles and the endurance of a young body. She caught up to the girl after only a few turns in the tunnel. Flames swung the middle of the rope out over her head, holding it tightly in both hands, an then jerked back. With any luck, it would hook under the soul's chin and stop her.
