It was done, she watched the flames dance from a distance.This timeline was intact, they just watched exhausted, their work done No more would this man hurt anyone, there had been enough suffering. However there was the chance they did escape, unless his subjects got to him first. Invader smiled, glad they had escaped in time, as another explosion ripped through the night air.Their feet were dragging, nearly making them stumble a few times. Next to them lay a black box, they had managed to pull from the laboratory in time. Pressing a few buttons it opened, releasing a great white light.

“North wind.” She coughed. “I kept my promise, you are free now.”

A figure appeared, rising form the box, clothed in a faint shimmering cloak, looking down on her concerned. They appeared as a lady, with great big wings that were a soft blue. They were fanning them, slowly sending out ripples of light.

“Go.” Invader ordered. “I don't want him to catch you again.”

“I won't be able to take you with me.” The figure spoke in a voice like silver bells.

“That does not matter.” Invader spoke, getting to her knees.

“You are tired.” The figure spoke. “How hurt are you?”

“I told you go, what happens to me happens.” She said laying down in the sand around them.

They longed to sleep, a good long sleep, they would worry more come dawn. Invaders work here was done, that is all that mattered right now. Her friend looked down upon them, kneeling down they lifted them up.

“Let me get you to a safe place at least.” They countered, shimmering in blue light.

“Very well..” Invader trailed off, leaning against them.


The figure waved their hand, opening a portal, on the other side was a sort of tower being built. They stepped though, the portal closing behind them, with a soft whisper. Once through to the other side a bolt of lightning flashed, before it could strike them, the figure made a shield of sorts. The lightning bent around them, leaving the figure unharmed, and still sleeping. Dark clouds growled overhead, and rain started to pelt down. Looking about they ,saw an alcove, walking inside, it was an excavation area, but well covered, this would do for now.

Gently they seat invader down, they shed a tear of shimmering light then opened another portal. On the other side, stood a temple of sorts.North wind took one look back at the still figure, and whispered farewell. In an instant they were gone, back to where they had come from.

“North wind don’t cry…” Invader trailed off still asleep.

The rain was pouring down in sheets, the smell of burnt metal permeated the area. Some of the rain made its way down to where invader was, softly falling on her. A silent alarm had gone off, due to the lightning strike. The drops continued to fall on her, simulating someone crying.

“Don’t be..” Invader woke with a start.

Where was this place, they could smell the rain, and hear thunder booming over head. Near them lay a crystal tear, glowing with unworldly light illuminating where they were. Cautiously she meandered over to the entrance and peeked out, some heavy duty construction vehicles lay idle nearby. A distance away stood a building, they did not recognize. Alarmed they looked below them there was no sand, they were no longer at the lab. A fog had rolled in, covering everything in a gloom of sorts, street lights shone in the distance, there was also the sound of distant waves.

Just in case they scooped up a handful of dust, that was not dampened. Upon adjusting to the light, they saw an open bag of sand. They set the dirt down, and grabbed some of that instead. At least they could temporarily blind anyone who came after them, and escape. Though if they ran where would they run to? There was also the possibility of video cameras in the area. That made them pause for a bit. They stared into the area, looking for blinking lights, and listening intently. Chances are someone had already been alerted, for now they would sit tight. At the moment they got out of the dripping rain, and stole a jacket that had been left behind. It was a bit large for them, but it would keep them somewhat warm for now.

Sitting within the entrance Invader was on high alert, and soon enough came the sound of activity. Their hunch had been correct, there was a silent alarm system. Tensing they clutched the sand in one hand, and stepped into the shadows. They had to remain out of sight, till the last possible moment. The plan was to momentarily blind them, while they were caught off guard to run. Footsteps cautiously moved to where she was, they tensed ready to throw.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
