'''You guys really need to get your stories straight y’all, I mean seriously; where/who the hell is Taylor? And did she really just kill off Stephen?? And since when did this become some sort of weird teen soap-opera? Gary loves Icicle but so does Crystal, and aren’t they both made by the same person? Then there is Stephen who is dead (apparently) who was supposed to be in love with Hazel but is now trapped in this demented love triangle with both Hazel and Liz who has totally ditched Tanner for a guy who obviously was meant/created for Hazel; And where did Jaxon come from? Then there is Echo, Minnesota, Collin, Willow, Maddie, Mist, Rain, Kalob, Stella and a TON of other random unnecessary characters that are just getting in the way. Do you see what I am getting at? So because of the mess that has been made and the awkward silence that has become of said mess, I think some character killing is in order. Once again this post need not be regarded, but it is a quick and easy way to fix the story and get this train back on track. (as Rudraanee suggested earlier) And I am sorry Sam, but I’m going to ignore what you just posted about the witches. (SOMEBODY’S been watching a little too much OZ.) Let’s get started ': '' CharacterKiller’s POV: A sudden powerful gust of wind extinguished the camp fire that the group had been sitting around. I heard a couple screams as the darkness of the night surrounded them.

   “Mwahahahahhahahah!!!” I laughed manically; my voice rang through cold dark night. “Look at the mess you have made!” I bellowed, “I guess I’ll just have to fix things won’t I.” Then with a snap of my fingers another gust of wind crashed down onto the group’s tiny campsite and 9 portals opened up, each glowing of a different color. “Each of these portals leads to one of the realms accessible through the gateway mansion.”

Yet another gust of wind sent all of the characters, except for Gary and Liz, flying into the portals. Echo and Stella flew into a portal that was glowing of vibrant crimson, Fawn and Stephen were sent to a portal of bright forest green, Hazel and Kalob were sent to the royal blue portal, Icicle and Crystal were blown into the sparkling yellow portal, Tanner and Rain flew into the purple-pink portal that was directly next to the aqua blue portal that Miles and Minnesota were sent into, Jaxon and Lupa were sent flying to the dark gray portal, Cleve and Collin went flying into the midnight purple portal, and Willow, Mist, and Maddie flew into the red-ish-brown portal—leaving Gary and Liz alone in the dark.

The portals crashed closed, and I said, “Now, your job is to rescue your friends from the worlds that I have sent them to. That is, of course, if you can find them, MWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHH!” In a flash of light I was gone, leaving Garry and Liz to sort out what had just happened. (re-quote of CharacterKiller. About to get squished off page) --*Jill*

'''*I agree, Luna. And, yes, Garrett. Lupa is a girl. Sam... uh... Minnesota is separated from Jaxon. Jaxon is with Lupa, in a dark gray portal, okay? And since when was Crystal dead?* (Okay... uh, posting for Colin and Cleve) ''' Cleve's POV: I watch as the boy's quick hands work across the patchwork. It was impressive. And considering this jungle we were totally lost in...

"Right. I've weaved this hut, should hold for a day or two until we figure something out. Are you any good at hunting, Cleve? We need some food.”

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: HI;">   I nodded. I hated it when younger people bossed me around, but this boy felt different. More grown up. Down to earth. "Hey, how old are you, boy?"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(255, 204, 153); margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 19.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: HI;">He stopped, grinning, then looking at himself, as if he didn't know he looked 11. "Oh. I'm Colin. 15, turning 16 in... I honestly don't know. I've lost track of the days." He looked at my puzzled face. "You don't talk much, do you?" I did not reply. "I'll tell you later. But for now... here." He tossed me a jagged rock. "If you're not going to hunt, I am. Just... make me a dagger, okay? You do know how to, right? Oh, I'll teach you." He came over and took over, slowly grinding the rock sharp. "There. You do the rest. I have to scout for anything useful, and if any other person landed with us. Give a shout if you need help, and use that dagger. And your mind. I have a feeling you're smart."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(255, 204, 153); margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 19.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: HI;">He walked off, chuckling to himself. I wondered if he was missing his girlfriend like I missed Miles. After all, I did witness them exchange a quick kiss. But she was 10, for heaven's sake! Or was she? I was getting confused.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(255, 204, 153); margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 19.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: HI;">"C.L.E.V.E." Oh. The rhythmic grinding of the rock must have made me fall asleep.

"I was lucky, finding this rabbit that got bonked by a falling who knows what fruit." Fruit? I love fruit!! In fact, I'm vegetarian!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(255, 204, 153); margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 19.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: HI;">"Fruit?" I asked him. "I'd advise you not to eat that. It may be poisonous. You never know what's going on in the gateway mansion.” My ears perked up, and he seemed to read my expression. "Yes, I do think we were teleported somewhere into that big mansion you were sitting in front of. No questions. And next time, don't fall asleep on your post. You could get killed."

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: rgb(255, 204, 153); margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 19.2pt; text-indent: 0.5in; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Mongolian Baiti"; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: HI;">Was this kiddo always in a rush? The way he said everything in one breath seemed seriously bossy and annoying to me. "Hey. Vegetarian." I grunted.

I didn't speak, and he had no one to talk to. A nice change… then a growl shook the air.

He threw me the rock carelessly. "I don't care how much it's finished, just use it."

We had nothing with us-- sitting around the campfire back at Gateway, we didn't exactly have backpacks of survival supplies with us. Of course, considering we had both (at some point) just appeared out of the wilderness by Gateway, I figured we both had experience in survival. Hopefully, our surroundings were enough to survive off of.

I was dead. I was not dead. I was dead. I was not dead. "Hey?" I mutter towards a figure coming towards me. Oh, no. Myrtile. My luck could only get better. She eyed me for a second before she helped me up. "Coin?" Asked a man. She shrugged at him. "Sorry, I don't have one." Hrumph. What's with the coin business? Was I still too messed up? I turned and saw the exit was still open. So I pulled Myrtile along, and we were... I blinked my eyes open. Jaxon was gaping at me. "Hi." I mutter. "Hey, um, Lupa?" Myrtile asked awkwardly. "Yah?" I answer, taking in my surroundings. "I think we just uh... came back from the dead." She answered. "Uh... Myrtile? My head is getting all messed up now. What is this about coming from the dead?" Myrtile shrugged. "Well, I obviously had been dead for a long time." I shrug, too tired to argue. "So, uh, what's going on? You 'kay, Lupa?" Myrtile asked me. "Yes, I think so." I got her caught up as Jaxon trailed behind us. Myrtile's eyes flashed with rage. "My sister's stuck with two /morons// I don't even know?" She looked like she regretted it right away. "Sorry," She says, her eyes a bit glazed over. "It was so scary, It comes back, you know?" I knew what she was referring to. She had been evil, maybe possessed, maybe not. Either way, I realized she was scared. "It's okay, they're not morons, you know. I think they'll be alright. You /will// see Willow again." Myrtile looked stressed. "I know, I know, but..." Jaxon cut in. "Have you heard about a girl named Minnesota?" Myrtile gave him a curious look. "What, your girlfriend?" She snickered. "I think I've heard of her." I burst out giggling. "Myrtile, I swear, you're going to love Minnesota once you meet her." Myrtile grinned, and I was taken aback. "You look pretty when you smile." She blushed, and for a second, everything seemed alright. Not. --*Jill*

I can't contact Myrtile anymore! "Guize... I have a bad gut feeling," I say as I try to untangle the vines I was using to tie up the raft from me. "I mean, we don't even know how vast the sea is. We may be stuck in a worse situation." Not to mention that I can't even feel the spirit of Myrtile... "Or better," Maddie offered. /Yeah, and I could jump into a shark's open mouth. That'd solve a lot of problems.// I thought sourly. /Wait-- since when was I beginning to think like Minnesota--// My heart gave a jerk /--and MYRTILE//? Great. "C'mon, guys.

Butterfly boy only lasted a second with his hands. /'I'll use my hands'// ~Famous last words. I shrugged at the thought and slashed at the /thing// as it bounded over like a big puppy. That boy has some really serious vision altering stuff done to him. "Aww, look at da wittle puppy. Is da widdle puppy a nicey wicey puppy?" (**Yes, I quoted Garfield. MWHAHAHA!**) I rolled my eyes. Seriously, I swear the monster nearly chomped off his hand as he tried to pet it. Ouch. Seriously, I also swear that boy was going to get us killed someday! I tossed the dagger away, useless now that he was close. Believe me, his teeth could reach much further than my dagger. It hit the monster in the eye. Great. Now it's aimed at us. We exchanged glances. I think we both knew it went something along the lines of RUN!!! We ran from the monster-i-couldn't-even-describe in fear. "I think I am going to name him Ruffles. Ruffles is a good puppy dog name, right?" He asked me. Great. Now the guy wants to keep it as a pet! After hours of stumbling through the woods, we come to a door. I give him a look. "Anything's better than tripping over these cursed roots," he replies, pushing open the door. I follow. We were back into the gateway mansion. He turns and opens another door. "Hey, there are people in there!" He yells for their attention and pokes his head in, but they are too far to hear. "C'mon, Cleve!" He stepped into the door without a second thought. I hesitate, then step into it. The door... /disappears//. Uh oh, bad idea. Colin was already chatting with Jaxon when I caught up, but they seemed to be long standing rivals. Jaxon wore a scowl on his face. I nod to Lupa, I think, and a girl I did not recognize. Myrtile's Pov: Colin. I gape, open-mouthed at him, but he doesn't seem to notice. Isn't it the strangest way, how the world goes round? He probably never noticed me when we were small anyways, he always had his eyes on Willow. I suspected he'd had a crush on her since a very small age. Gah. I start to wonder if I'd ever see Willow again. Nonsense. Of course there was a way out of this pile of rubble. --*Jill*

They're all in different worlds then the one we're in." I don't want to believe her, but I know Liz is right. Without portals, we can't even find them. Suddely that gives me an idea. "Liz, we can!

Please excuse me if anything I write is a little off, ^,^* Minnesota's POV: Night began to fall over the land. Miles and I hadn't moved much as to conserve our energy for when we really needed it, so that we could stretch it out over a period of time. The land was fairly dry, but every so often, there were small pockets of water--not exactly the most clean, but it worked--and as for food, we didn't really know what was safe to eat and what wasn't. As the moon slowly rose, Miles and I lied down on the hard-packed ground of the glade. It didn't take that long for me to get to sleep. However, sometime in the early morning hours in the middle of the night, I awoke to a large rumbling sound and a few thumps. I sat up straight, looking over at Miles; he was still fast asleep. Heart pounding, I crawled to the entrance of the small cave we'd rested in and scanned the area. Nothing seemed out of place; a cool wind blew, and crickets sounded. The noise I had earlier heard had gone silent. I took a shaky breath and started to back back into the cave when I heard it again, this time considerably closer. I stood up, ready to fight with what little power I had, and stepped outside. I still saw nothing, but this time, I still heard an audible growling sound that seemed as if it could be right next to me. "Alright... I'm not scared. Show yourself," I said stupidly, silently praying that Miles would wake up soon. But before I could figure out this mystery any further, I was roughly grabbed by some invisible force. The last thing I saw was the cave from an aerial level before my world went black. --MagnusMay.

Please excuse anything I write that is a little... confusing or not on track. :P* Miles' POV: I awoke to dawn sunlight flooding into the cave. I don't see Minnesota, but I stay calm, thinking she's just 'using the bathroom.' After a few minutes, though, I start to realize she isn't there. I hear a scream in the distance, so I take off running after it. "MINNESOTA!" I yell, hoping for an answer. My feet pound the tough terrain when, all of the sudden, I am picked up harshly from behind by a seemingly invisible thing. I saw Minnesoda's face, twisted with concern, worry, fear, and pain. Then everything goes black. --Invisible (Lydia)

When she thought about them, however, they made sense...if they could find someone such as CharacterKiller to make more portals, they could at least save some. "That's a brilliant idea!" she exclaimed and stood up. However, Gary didn't look as pleased. "But... just think of CharacterKiller's name.

I want to, I just want to know if I can.) Minnesota's POV: I wake to darkness, but being me, Mistress of Illusion, I can tell that this darkness is a mirage. There are multiple planes of existence here, as if it's a layering of several conscious locations. In this layer, there is no light. The entire plane of existence is pitch black. I can feel no floor-- it's as I'm floating in a pit of darkness. In other words, it fits me well. Unfortunately, this mirage isn't my own. It is only my essence in this never-ending blackness, no body. I can sense, but cannot feel. I can see (even though there is only darkness to set eyes on), but cannot touch. "What in the netherworld is this place?" I murmur, not conscious of my nonexistent-in-this-plane-of-existence lips moving, but the sound echoes through the darkness, as if the blackness is solid. /Place Place Place/, the darkness whispers back. In another plane of existence, I feel a cold stone floor, but cannot see. In a third, I feel chains wrapping around my limp body. In a fourth, I see ghosts of flashes of color dancing across my vision, like I had just stared into the sun after escaping the confines of an underground maze. I could tell that some sensations and sights were illusions, but not which ones. "What's going on?!" I hiss at the darkness. /On On On/, the darkness hisses back. "Well then. This is pointless." /Pointless Pointless Pointless./ --To Be Unseen (TDC & Turtle)

At Gateway, an ice-blue haze came into existence, capturing the attention of CharacterKiller, Luna, Liz, and Gary. All four stared intently at the haze from nowhere, their instincts warning them that /something/ was going on. Then, in a sudden flash of icy light, there was no haze. In its place stood a girl who looked a bit older than her age of twelve. Her pitch black mane of hair tumbled to her shoulders and then met a choppy end, and her anthracite eyes bore into the four. She was somewhat unnaturally pale, but not so much as, say, your stereotypical vampire. A black leather jacket, black jeans, and beat-up black combat boots gave her a dark appearance, but her one raised eyebrow suggested no evil. "What, have you not seen anyone Transport before?"

"You /WHAT?!//" She fumed. I waved my hand carelessly. "Yes, yes, and all that. Now can we please make a portal already, Luna?" I ask, fingering my baseball cap that never left my head. "Uh, yeah. But those kiddos should be hungry by now. I mean, when was the last time we made them eat?" Luna asked me. "I dunno. So, yeah. Dinnertime!" A 10 course meal appeared in front of Gary and Liz, who were just starting to realize the monster living inside their grumbling stomach. "Too much," Luna whispered, as I waved my hand conducting the silverware. "Oh." I say, and with another wave of my hand, the food turned into chocolates, sandwiches, and soup. "Much better." The other black haired girl remarked. I ignored her. "Man," Gary said, so I added a desert-- More sandwiches. "Any other questions?" I ask in a cute way. None of the both of them objected. When Gary and Liz finished, and yes, I just didn't want to write about them eating, I joined hands with Luna. "So, Portal? Where to?" I ask Gary. "Erm... I dunno. I don't know where any of them ended up." Liz nudged Gary by the arm and muttered something into his ear I should not have been able to hear. Unfortunately for them, I was a Destiny Weaver, which pretty much meant I control anything that actually happens around here. She said: "I wanna go to Tanner." Gary frowned. "First of all, Tanner is off limits. He's either Rain or Hazel's. Next: I sorta wanna check on Icicle and Crystal. God knows what's happening to the two of them. Gosh, I wouldn't even be surprised if they killed one another in a fistfight!" Liz frowned. I sighed and tapped my foot on the ground. "I am running out of patience, guys. If you don't decide soon enough, I shalt decide for you." **Anyone remember what happened to Echo and Stella? No? No one? Because I sorta forgot...** "Cleve and Colin, then?" Luna just shook her head at the kids. "I wonder why we wrote their personalities like this in the first place?" I swished my hand, and Luna swished hers. "Icicle and Crystal it is," I decided for them. "Shoo. Off you go." I blew them into the portal. The portal closed. "There. That's taken care of. Now who wants some ice cream?" I swished my hand another time, and Ice Cream appeared in Luna's and my hands. "Hey! You left me out on purpose!" CharacterKiller protested. "And plus, they were supposed to go into the gateway and then open the doors one by one to find them, not go through a *Jill*andLunaTheArticFox made portal!" "La di la di la, and whatevs." I replied. "Now, come on. Who feels like writing about Cleve, Colin, Jaxon, Myrtile, and Lupa?" "Ohh, ohh, me!" Lune says, and I start to type, and therefore weaving their destiny... Maddie was rowing, while Willow rested and Mist kept watch. "I think I see something..." SPLASH! SPLASH! Two things spilled into the sea. Oopsies, I thought. I think I summoned the wrong portal! Luna was probably off, writing about Echo and Stella. I wondered when she would see what I did. And Lydia, of course. Anyways, back to destiny weaving. Willow was woken up by a shout from both Maddie and Mist. She looked up in time to see two heads pop out of the sea. "Well, they're people. We gotta rescue them." She decided, taking over from Maddie. Maddie let her arms drop to her side, suddenly fully aware of how tired her arms had been after rowing for so long. She reached out the the first shape while Mist reached for the second, and Willow angled the boat-- sorry, raft so that it wouldn't butt the people head on. "Whut?" Willow heard Maddie splutter. "It's Gary and Liz!" Liz choked on a bit of seawater. "I- I thought she said /Icicle and Crystal//." Liz shook all over, cold. Gary looked a bit disappointed to her, but whatever. Liz looked around. Besides sea, sea, and sea, there was also... sea. Gods. they were surrounded by large bodies of water. Willow reached into her pack and somehow produced tiger skin for the two kids to get dry. Mist then took over from Willow, and Maddie started snoring in five seconds flat. It was a cute snore, and Liz brushed the soggy hair out of Maddie's eyes. She barely knew the kid yet, but she was already starting to feel protective and responsible for her. Gary muttered something under his breath, which would be *note: inside spoiler!* /Gosh, all these girls and one boy? Oh, the joy.// Yup, I am weird that way. --*Jill*

"As a Destiny Weaver I shall now go pay a visit to my, ah... chosen, I suppose I could say," she muttered while the others were preoccupied. She was almost certain they wouldn't care, so she leaned back a bit and part of her consciousness was off to another place as the ice blue haze wrapped around her-- such were the powers of a Destiny Weaver. 17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)Mystique of Music (talk) The word /pointless/ echoed on and on in the darkness, and again Minnesota wondered where she was. A normal person probably would have given into despair by now, but she had been worse off many times before... nonetheless, it was hard to fight the darkness seeping into her soul. Suddenly, a slightly glowing ice-blue haze appeared in front of her, and the darkness hissed even without an echo to set it off. /Destiny Weaver,/ the darkness rasped. Minnesota was slightly unnerved now. "What... what are you?" Minnesota asked the haze. /Apparently right now I am haze,/ replied the haze. /If you are okay with it, I will split your essence once more so we can speak properly./ "Uh... sure?" Without a moment's notice, Minnesota was in a lit, furnished black room, but due to the black and despite the lamp, it took her a minute to register that she was not still in the darkness. "Sit down, I guess," came a voice from a black futon across the room. Minnesota turned and saw a girl of about twelve with a dark appearance lounging there. "So, who are you?" Minnesota asked as she sat warily down in a comfy armchair. "I am known as TDC," she said, "and before you ask where we are, this could be classified as my residence, more like home base. "O-o-okay... and why did you bring me here?" TDC sat up, anthracite meeting gunmetal. "Listen, Minnesota, we don't have much time," she said in a low voice, "and there's not much I can tell. What I can: They are coming. Brace yourself." In an instant, TDC was gone, and Minnesota was back in the darkness... for the time being. 17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC) In that same instant, the haze around TDC disappeared as she pulled herself back into one entity. "So, what the heck are you people doing?" she roughly asked the other Destiny Weavers. --To Be Unseen (TDC & Turtle)

Or anyone. She sat glumly at the edge of the raft, keeping watch. Liz eventually gave up and started to chat with Mist. I took great pleasure in weaving this part of the never ending story, mind you. I was vaguely aware that at the other end of my conscious, TDC (Or, as I prefer to call her, Ena,) asked us a question. I was also enjoying Ice Cream at the other end of my consciousness. How weird. I do not recall anything such as Ice Cream. But when you're a destiny weaver, you get mixed up like me. Well, anyways, Gary sat down next to Willow. "Hey." He says. "Uh." Willow replies. "What's wrong with you?" He tries to get Willow to speak. "Myrtile." Willow said, half heartedly. "Myrtile? What about her?" Gary seemed really interested now. "Nothing." "C'mon, something's up." Gary says, urging Willow on. "Something is up. I feel nothing." Willow replied, perfectly knowing that she made no sense at all. "Whatever." Gary sighed, and pushed himself up. She needs some time alone, he thought. --*Jill*

"I don't know, probably dead by now," Icicle replied. Luna grabbed Icicle, although Luna was much younger and lighter, and disappeared. She reappeared in Stella and Echo's world. "Here ya go," she said, and set Icicle down. "You're not just going to leave me here, are you?" asked Icicle. "No, of course not," Luna said, and escorted her to Echo and Stella. --LunaTheArcticFox

What did the dark girl mean? Unfortunately, she found out soon enough-- she was soon pulled out the multiple-planes-of-existence weirdness to find herself encircled in chains.

"No." TDC smiled a twisted smile. "CharacterKiller will be here soon, and he will end your pain forever." Minnesota forgot how to breathe for a second. Then she started to tear at the chains.

Luna looked up from her computer and looked around. "I really don't know." She mumbled. Tori shrugged and looked down at Luna's work. "Have you posted for Kalob and Hazel yet? Or maybe Fawn and Stephen? Oh wait! I've been doing that!" She said sarcastically. Jill giggled a bit, but Luna grunted at Tori's comment. "There's no need now, though, cause I'm about to bring them all together so Hazel and Stephen can have some alone time without Liz." "Whatever, here, have a taco before you go." Just then, a taco bell cool ranch doritos locos taco appeared in Luna's hand that wasn't typing. She tossed it to Tori, who caught it and chomped it up in only a couple seconds. "Adios, amigos!"

A few curses escaped his lips until he was certain they were gone for good. TDC came from behind a wooden door. "What happened!?" He shouted. "N-Nothing," CK stuttered, regaining himself. A few more black feathers fell from the sky like snow. "They got AWAY!?" TDC predicted, noticing the absence of Minnesota. "I can't believe you!" TDC stepped closer, a knife in his right hand. "You'll pay, CharacterKiller." Before he was able to slash at him, CK disappeared with a quick puff of smoke. TDC looked around. He was alone. He needed to find another character to kill, and this one, he must get right. --Pencil Shavings

He heard an almost silent sniffle from behind a different door than he stepped out. "Hello?" TDC called, actual nervousness hinting his voice. The sniffling cut off. "Yes...?" A girl asked. TDC didn't know what to say, he already had a character right at his finger tips. He pulled the door open. Inside, was a girl, dirty blonde and gorgeous. Her green eyes shone magically. "Who are you?" TDC growled, unable to pull out his knife, he was oddly scared. "Maisley." She said, dryly. He couldn't move, it was like his feet were glued to the ground and his eyes locked on her. She giggled, "You're not used to this...are you?" TDC shook his head, not knowing what "this" was. She saw his confusion. "I'm a siren." She explained. She then snapped and TDC was transported to a camp, consisting of Willow, Liz, Luna and the many other characters. This "Maisley" girl was right beside him. "I think I found what you were looking for." Maisley said, she wasn't just a siren, she was an evil siren; and she wanted blood. TDC was confused why she was crying the room before though, surely someone evil wouldn't be crying... --Pencil Shavings

The gaping hole in the roof still showed two pacing figures. One pulled out a black stick. Minnesota barely had time to register a rifle when there was a deafening bang. Bullets sprayed towards them. The Freerunner started to slalom, wings tilting this was and that way, but a bullet tore through the feathers and muscles. The Freerunner let out a scream, and they started to tumble from the sky. --Niamh

It makes you more powerful... but also gives you a different level of vulnerability. As light, we fight the dark, but as The Dark Calligrapher and EnaOfTheFlames, I had a whole lot of confliction.

While they were falling to their untimely demise, Maisley and TDC were busy scouting their next character to kill off. Maisley was smirking and rapping her fingers on her legs. "Are we supposed to kill /more/?" TDC muttered, actually afraid of the death she was causing. "I thought that was what you wanted..." Maisley said. "I rather have CharacterKiller do it for me..." TDC replied. Maisley snapped her fingers and CK appeared next to them. TDC forgot about the things she said to him and filled him in on who and what Maisley was. "She wants us to kill them. She's giving us a chance..." TDC explained. "I don't understand." CK nodded, agreeing with TDC. "She sounds fishy," CK whispered. "Uh huh." TDC mumbled back. Maisley had bound the many characters and they stood lifeless, eyes screaming with terror. "Go on," Maisley started. "Kill them." Her voice hissed, gesturing towards the frozen group. TDC shivered. "CharacterKiller, you can do so." She whimpered. CK nodded and stepped forward, an already bloody knife in hand. He raised it and was poised to kill the first, Luna. Suddenly, Maisley smiled, something crooked like, and dropped them from their bind. She froze TDC and CK. "No one will die anymore." She mumbled, as the camp of characters ran from the siren. She whispered a few spells and TDC's and CK's eyes were the ones glazed with fear. "I'm sorry," Maisley said. She snapped once more and transported to where the Freerunner and Minnesota were falling. "Hey." She said casually to them, hands pillowing her head. They fell at a high paced speed, nearing the ground. Minnesota screeched. "Help us!!" She cried. Maisley giggled, she snapped again and the were safely with the rest of the camp, who were still in shock of all that had just happened. "Who are you?" Questioned the rattled Minnesota, who was trying to endure greetings from old friends and dragging the injured Freerunner to a tree stump. "My name is Maisley." The siren replied gently, her voice soothing the crowd and calming them. She was very seductive. "Who?" Minnesota asked. "Your guardian for now." Maisley answered simply; but it /really/ wasn't simple. --Pencil Shavings

"What was that?!" asked Luna angrily. She aimed her arrow at Maisley. "Don't you dare do that again," Luna said, materializing in front of Maisley with a sword. "It is wrong to kill off everyone and their characters," Luna scolded Maisley. Although Luna knew Maisley was probably older than her, she wanted to whoop Maisley's butt for her little shenanigans. --LunaTheArcticFox

"Calm down...Luna." She somehow knew the girls' name by just seeing her. "I'm here to help." Luna didn't drop her bow, but Maisley dropped her hands. She walked slowly towards Minnesota and the Freerunner, eyes still directed towards Luna. She gently pushed crying Minnesota aside and placed a dirty hand on the Freerunners' wound. "What's your name?" Maisley asked her while the gun-shot hole healed itself with her power. "Ugh, I can't...can't remember." the Freerunner rose her hand to her head and sighed. /She must be amnesic./ Maisley thought to herself, pulling her hand away. "I can't heal that..." She mumbled to herself. She left Minnesota to the amnestic girl and turned back towards Luna, who still had the bow pointed to her. "Luna," Maisley soothed. "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt anyone." She gestured towards the Freerunner, hoping Luna would understand she had helped her. "Let's just all be friends." Luna looked to her friends, who were standing still in shock. They nodded, obviously too scared to do anything else. "Fine," Luna said, pursing her lips. She didn't put her bow down though, she just moved it to the Freerunner. "Who is this?" Maisley didn't know who she actually was, except for her assigned contract to keep from dimension jumping. "No idea. I'm supposed to stop her though." Luna shivered, "Why are you helping her then?" She asked. "I don't know. I'm just doing my job." Maisley replied blandly. Luna nodded understandingly. She moved her bows' mark to where TDC and CK were supposed to be bound. "Your friends escaped." Luna informed, a slight look of disappointment on her face. Maisley whipped around. "Oh God no," --Pencil Shavings

"Calm down, TDC is okay. She just needs some help...and convincing. It's complicated." Luna said like it was nothing. "But CharacterKiller on the other hand...well he'll kill us all." Maisley gulped. The other people all calmed down. "By the way..." Maisley started. "Where am I?" Luna sighed, Jill, another girl, stepped forward. "You're in Gateway Mansion." Maisley's mouth hung open. "Where!? I'm supposed to be stopping this Freerunner from escaping through different dimensions." Jill laughed, "Well, if by dimensions you mean doors; you're doing a wonderful job." Maisley groaned, "I need to get home!" Tori came up, "Why not stay awhile?" "Probably because I have a /job/ to get back to and a /criminal/ to put behind bars." Maisley gestured towards the amnestic Freerunner. The girls frowned, Maisley sighed. "Fine, I'll help you and stay for awhile." The girls frowns turned to smiles; another good guy on their side to beat the darkness inside their friend. --Pencil Shavings

Maisley growled, then she asked again, "What's your name Freerunner?" The girl paused, weighing her options. "Ruby." She finally said. The siren nodded, oddly not compelled to grab Ruby and turn her in. "Why aren't you hurting me?" Ruby questioned, pushing herself into a better position. Maisley shrugged, closing her grass green eyes. Ruby was surprised. "I'm staying for awhile," Maisley pointed to the Freerunner's wound. "You might want to too. You need time to heal." Maisley told Ruby about how they were in the "Gateway Mansion" and the rest of what happened. Ruby nodded, "We should find CharacterKiller and TDC then. And stop them." --Pencil Shavings

I snapped my fingers and the giant disappeared. I snapped again and Fawn and Stephen appeared, completely unharmed. Fawn *By the way Luna, Fawn can also turn into a coyote he just doesn't a lot of the time* and Hazel ran at eachother and hugged. I rolled my eyes and opened a neon green portal. I jumped through it and the others followed like my little minions. *Hazel's POV*: The four of us jumped into the portal after the creepy new girl. It was as if our movements weren't our own, but I went with it. Something about this girl made me trust her, but I didn't know why. We appeared suddenly in the gateway mansion. The new girl went up to a couple others that I also did not recognize. "Hey guys! I'm back! And I brought Hazel, Stephen, Fawn and Kalob with me. You guys," She gestured to the four of us, "Meet Jill and Luna. They, like me, are destiny weavers. We pretty much write out your lives." --EpykDumplings(Toriluv&Meghan)

It was kind of awkward that my older brother was dating my best friend, but oh well. "Hazel." Stephen's voice startled me. I hadn't heard it in such a long time. "I'm really sorry about Liz. Every time I try to come talk to you it's like she pulls me even farther." I frowned at him. "When we were at the campfire I watched you guys and you certainly didn't seem to mind her company then." "I wasn't just about to be rude to her, Hazel." He said softly. I realized the regret and sorrow in his voice and smiled a little. Stephen leaned down just a little bit and kissed me softly on the lips. My heart skipped a beat for a moment. We hugged, his long arms wrapping around my body. I had almost forgotten the warmth of his body. "Hey, Hazel!" Fawn called, "We've got to go save some people from god knows what!" Stephen let me go and we followed the other into a portal. --EpykDumplings(Toriluv&Meghan)

Oh well. "Now we've got to save TDC from her darkness!" I called to Fawn and Echo. Fawn repeated (or so I hoped) the message to Stephen and Hazel, as other Destiny Weavers and I made a plan to help TDC. So, we all jumped through the portal. /I hope this works/, I thought desperately. --LunaTheArcticFox

A simple word, but a complicated thing. There are multiple sorts of darkness: literal, normal darkness found in the night, possessive darkness, poisoned darkness... it is a very difficult thing to explain, but trust me, I know all about it. My internal darkness... was the most complicated darkness. It was literal, metaphorical, possessive, poisoned, and twisted all at the same time... it was the explosion in my mind of the combination of Red's songs Confession (What's Inside My Head) and Fight Inside. In other words, it sucked. It controlled me from time to time, but even when it wasn't possessing me, I could feel it in my mind. And I never knew when it would come. Right then, I had no idea what I was doing, because my darkness had taken over, but I knew it wasn't good. I also knew that the others would try to 'save' me... but in the end, it would all come down to me. They couldn't defeat me-- my darkness-- only I could. 17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC)Mystique of Music (talk) 17:13, October 26, 2013 (UTC) Minnesota's POV: (haven't written for her in a while) I was /so/ confused. Who really was this TDC? Was she evil as they said? She hadn't seemed evil when we had spoken in her home-base... but she was definitely evil when I was chained... I /really/ don't get her. /Who is she, what is she, and what the heck is her problem?/ I summed up. /I wonder if anyone knows the answer... and what's really going on, anyway...? Oh, yeah, and one more thing... What the heck happened to Miles?!/ (Okay, so I think we should begin to conclude the mess CK started with the portals. We should find a way to bring the characters back to Gateway... perhaps they somehow stumble into another portal, only to find that they're opening a door out of a room deep in Gateway Mansion? Then CK disappears for a while as the group tracks down TDC and they help her with her darkness, which TDC cannot defeat but learns how to control. Then... it's back to the old chaos INSIDE THE MANSION, with perhaps some appearances of CK...? I dunno, just ideas. What d'you think of them?) --Ultimate Insanity (TDC & Turtle)

Except Maisley is in my list (since I created her).* Maisley's POV: I seemed to be under someone else's control as we started to step through the portal. Using my siren powers, though, I fought it. "Stop!" I exclaimed. A few people looked back at me; Ruby looked up from her spot, pain filling her eyes. "What?" Asked Tori, pursing her lips. "What's happening? I know I said I'd stay here and help with the darkness that is taking over TDC, but I can't believe it's /this/ confusing!" A few girls laughed, others just stared at me, half through the portal. "You don't need to stay." Luna said. "Oh...shall I just leave?" I questioned, suddenly feeling sad that nobody really wanted me here. "Sure," Jill grinned, half-heartedly. "Take your friend too." I gawked at her, /they really was me to leave.../ I thought. I looked down at the Freerunner, her eyes were clouded and somber, catching the faint light of the sun. "Uh, fine then." I said, at a loss for words. "We've got to go save TDC!" Shouted a young man, around my age. I nodded, slowly and backed away as they leaped through the portal. Suddenly, the whole group was gone, and it was just me and Ruby. "Let's get this over with." She murmured. I cast my tear filled eyes towards her. "Nobody needs me...that's new." I whispered under my breath. Then, I scooped the Freerunner in my arms and snapped. I was transported to the futuristic dimension I lived in, my home. "Time to turn you in." --Pencil Shavings

Something wasn't right. Then she saw her. A little girl, about five years old. Her red hair was tied into two messy pigtails and she wore a crumpled pinafore and a pair of of black Mary Janes with white knee socks. Her chubby face creased into a dimpled smile. "Hello, Maisley." She beamed. "I'm Josie. You're very good at your job. Here's a little obstacle." With a high-pitched giggle, Josie clapped her hands. And then the world was on fire. --Bridie

Jill nodded. "Since we don't have any time to spare, time to fit Jenna into this story," Luna continued, and, where Maisley and Josie were, another girl appeared. This girl was older than Josie, but younger than Maisley, as she looked to be about twelve. Her dark brown hair was in a braid, she had pale skin, and her eyes were sea blue. In fact, if Maisley or Josie would have cared to look close enough, they would able to see her eyes shifting. Jenna frowned at Josie. "That is /my/ job," she said, and the fire died down, hissing.

Now!" I screeched in a commanding voice at the young girl with her devious smile. She shook her head and disappeared from the dimension. With Ruby still in my arms, I jogged towards the door of my childhood room. Pictures I made as a kid burnt around me, sizzling to a crisp. I choked on the plumes of smoke, which were clogging my lungs. I stepped on a small doll, I looked down, tears streaming down my cheeks. Ruby clutched on harder to me, screaming with all her might. "Please, just leave, Maisley." She whimpered, I finally tore my eyes off the doll and flew through the room. I zipped down the hallways of my house, the place I have missed so much through the years. Now, I'm seeing it burn. After we eventually made it out of the blazing home, I set the Freerunner down on a bed of flowers that was far enough away from the flames. "Where are we?" She coughed, once she had gained her voice. I glanced down at my shoes and fiddled my thumbs. "My home." I said, holding back tears. "Oh," Ruby gasped. "How much farther to the /office/." I could see her shiver when she said the word, like it was poison. "Not to far," I gestured to the right of my house. "Just down towards the city." I explained, then looked up to see my home crumble into ashes. The flames slowly extinguished, leaving clouds of smoke to trail in the air. "Time to go." I announced, grabbing Ruby and walking towards the city, neighbors gaping at the sight of us. My tears left trails in the soot that collected on my face. And a few times, I could tell Ruby was frantically trying to fly again. "Its alright," I cooed, and she gave me an angry look. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail. It is /not/ alright." She clenched her teeth and winced in pain. "No you're not." And in that moment, my heart gave in, and I turned at the wrong block, heading in the direction of somewhere different. /Her/ home. The ghettos. --Pencil Shavings

Ruby was sleeping in my arms as I lugged her along. Her head was nestled into me and her small body was curled up. She was heavy, but I wasn't going to leave her or let her walk with the injured wing. And, I couldn't cure it until I gathered enough energy to use my powers. At this rate, I was sure to never get that chance. Ruby fidgeted, her eyes moving beneath her eyelids. "Sh," I calmed her, even though she wasn't much younger than me, I still treated her like a child. I set her down beside the barren sidewalk. Not a soul dared to look at me from their home windows. People from this neighborhood knew me, and it was only because of the power I had in the Guild. I sat myself next to her and looked to the stars. We'd be in the ghettos soon, and Ruby would be with her people. I wouldn't have all this weight and pressure on my back and I live in peace. Hopefully, the Guild will believe that I wasn't able to find her. I always hated lying to them. The night was over in almost a blink of an eye, and it melted away the day before it. The sun rose with such pride, and the dark dispersed. Another day of walking... --Pencil Shavings

I have no idea what is going on. Even after reading TDC's email. (And yes, thank you.) I opt to start this over. With all the current characters. Can we? Or... it's actually up to you, Though.

Then, put your twist on it and maybe make a character to join Maisley and Ruby. Enjoy!* I read all of the paragraphs above and I /still// do not get what is going on.

"I do not understand what is going on. Can we interfere and bring all the characters back into the gateway? Like, I am totally rescuing Gary and Liz and the 'Jolly bunch' right now." She shrugged. I had a feeling that shrug might've meant 'I want to do that too.' I sigh. This was getting so confusing, but I sort of like the Josie girl. Anyways... I return to the gateway mansion with Luna on my heels. "I'm doing it!" I say. "Good Luck." She smiles at me. I close my eyes and immediately, a very soggy bunch of five people appeared in front of me, including Gary with a piece of seaweed on him. "Well, Looks like I just saved your lives. Bye!" I start to render myself invisible. Willow stops me. "Wait! Who... who are you?" I slap my forehead. "My child, I created you. I am your patron. Anything that happens in your past, present, or future, is under my control... sort of. Not so much nowadays though..." I exchange a knowing look with Luna. "Anyways, I gotta go." `````"wait!" Willow called again. I groan. "What is it?" I ask. "What can you tell me? I need to know. What is happening here?" I rub my forehead. "Honestly? I have no idea. But Willow, there /is// one thing I have to tell you. One of the five of you has the power to create portals. Because I just made that up. I haven't even decided who it is yet. Let some other person decide. Goodbye." And without further ado, I render myself invisible before she could say 'wait' again. --*Jill*

And the thing is, I am not yelling at you. Next: My characters do NOT know Josie. If you look closely, I never said who's POV it was, so it basically meant that I was talking as me. As Jill, if you will. If it makes you happy, I can add a 'Jill's POV: (my POV)' Like Luna. Happy? I did it. If you have no clue, then maybe you should have asked TDC to email you what happened too instead of getting a few of us members who have been around at least for a month or two or a half year or an year or more than an year... and getting us mixed up. So, let's just do this: And then they all lived happily ever after, the end. *Me being sarcastic, Sam. Don't take it seriously.* Honestly, you're making the same mistake I did. I used to think I owned the place, and whatnot, because I was the only one who actually posted on here. And now I know better. Maybe be a bit less full of yourself and your band of newbies. (Note, I am not trying to insult anyone else. Just saying.) I can go on, but I fear this is turning into a fight instead of a debate, so someone *coughcoughLunaifyouwillcoughcoughhelpmeabitcoughcough* can break the two of us up now. *coughcoughorIreallycouldgooncough* Hm... I wonder what the capacity is of a box like this. Could it be possible that I fit the whole of TDC's word document?

So tired. I was almost asleep, but a thought was stopping me. Like a pushing child, it shoved to my lips, and I blurted out, "But you were supposed to turn me in!" Maisely, sitting staring at the horizon, turned. She looked wrecked too. "I know, Ruby. But I'm not." I nodded, trying to keep tears from my eyes. Oh God, this was so embarrassing. I wished I could just fly away - but my wing was still busted. So I'd just have to trust her. --Niamh

What is going on? Suddenly I feel more sick than you ever can imagine. "Uhhhhh..." I groan, and roll over. Maisley looks at me with concern. "Are you Okay?" she asks. "No," I manage to squeak out. Dina looks at me, then reaches into the sack she has flung over her shoulder. She digs around, and pulls out a long, purple green leaf. "Eat this," she says. "Before it's too late." Everybody looks at Dina. "What-what are you talking about?" Luna asks. "I'm talking about the curse of the falcons." Dina snaps. "When we were chased today, the Dreamers cast a spell. The curse of the falcons. It will slowly infect us all, and may even kill us." She pulls out a shriveled, purple green leaf. It's hard, but I recognize it as the leaf she gave me. "This is my last one, and they are really hard to get them. You have to travel to the garden of dreams. It's nearly impossible." Dina looks at us straight in the face, fire in her eyes. "But we're going to have to." --Kayleigh

Crickets chirped in an almost mute tone. The silence held out for a while, until Ruby spoke again, the first time since her outburst. "Am I going to live?" she asked timidly, like a small child. I could see inside her weak eyes that she was very scared. "Yes. Thanks for reminding me, I'll try a healing spell again." She nodded an scooted over so that her wing was close to me. I waved my hand gently above the black feathers and the red, bloodied tissue below it. A small yellow ray shone from my hand and lit the wound up. It was now a lighter red, and it seemed to look more healthy. "Any luck? Do you feel better?" I questioned, putting my hand back to my side. She nodded calmly and let go of her breath. "Yes," she looked up and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I feel much better." I smiled. "Good, now get some sleep." She set her head down on a patch of moss and closed her eyes gently. "Thank you for everything, Maisley." She whimpered. I didn't reply, I just looked back towards the moon and sighed. --Pencil Shavings

The wound had begun to bleed again overnight and had hardened in a dull brown crust. I put her down again and let out a long hard sigh. Time to try the healing spell again. --Bridie

James is tall, and muscular. He has short, wiry brown hair, like Goyle in Harry Potter. His eyes are clear blue, like icy crystals. He doesn't talk much. He's quite shy. The only person he seems to like on our quest team is Maisley, who says she feels odd. Jacob is average height. He has messy brown hair, brown rimmed glasses, and brown eyes. He has crooked teeth. He's /nothing/ like James. He's friendly, talkative, and likes everybody. --Kayleigh

Ruby is SO heavy. Jacob offers to carry her, but Dìna insists that I do it. I thank Jacob, but Dìna overhears. She gets mad at me, and, trust me, NOBODY wants to her mad at them. Suddenly Maisley drops, rolling and groaning. Dìna looks back at her, gasps, and rummages in her sack. She pulls out her last purple green leaf. She tears it apart, and feeds it to Maisley, who, as soon as the leaf touches her lips, sits back up. James drops down beside her and helps her up, as she is quite shaky. "We really have to get to the Garden of Dreams FAST," says Dìna. --Kayleigh

Who are James, Jacob and Dina? Have we had them for a while, or have they just joined the newbies? And what is the Garden of Dreams?Anyway, I'll continue with Maisley* Maisley's POV: My legs were shaky, the leaf had helped a lot, but my fatigue was over-coming. I looked to Ruby, who was carefully being cradled by Jacob. "Thanks, Jacob." I muttered, the creaky sound coming through my lips, which were dry and cracked. He looked to me with eyes of a worried mother. "You okay, Maisley? You don't look so good." Dìna spied over her shoulder back onto us. She was walking next to James, who could barely take his eyes off of me. "Fine. Just perfect." I forced a smile and pretend to not notice the beads of sweat dripping into the corners of my mouth. Dìna frowns. "Maisley," she said in her matter-of-fact tone, "You look awful, tell us the truth." I moaned. "No, really, I'm /fine./" I couldn't end up making the group slower, I was supposed to be strong and carry people through this. I can't give up. She nodded, but still had a look of unease on her olive-colored face. I sighed tried my best to keep up with the group. --Pencil Shavings

As for the newbie plotline, you guys can do whatever you want with that, and good luck. But some of us more experienced NES participants want to bring it back to Gateway. If you new people want to write your characters back to Gateway, go ahead. But I'm starting this.) TDC's POV: /All destiny weavers are recalled,/'boomed a voice in her mind. /Please report to Destiny Hall and then back to your home bases. For now you are removed as a factor of the plotline(s). You are allowed to notify characters of your leave./ Good. Now I couldn't lose control in front of the characters. I scrawled a note for Minnesota, wrote it to Gateway, and quickly left. Minnesota's POV: Whatever insanity had been going on, I forgot it all in a blink as I opened my eyes at Gateway Mansion. I looked around. The room was like a grand ballroom, and I was alone.

"Oh, goody." I whisper to Luna. "/Something// finally makes sense." I write my most sincere glare to the kiddos in the other dimension. "Wait for me, I'll 'notify' Willow. But... I want things with Colin to stay as it is." She nodded, understanding, and wrote herself to who knows where. I wrote for Willow to wonder a bit away from Gary, Liz, Maddie, and Mist, and towards where I was standing, invisible. Suddenly, my hand shot out and grabbed her arm. "Listen, kid. I gotta make this fast, so heads up, and don't interrupt." I hiss urgently. "Wait, don't call me kid. I'm fifteen and you look no more than thirteen or fourteen. So, stop with the kid thing." She sends me her best glare, but I ignore it. "Willow, listen, this is important. I am your patron, I created you out of nothingness. My name is Jill. Right now, I am being recalled into another dimension, and will not come back for some time. I came here to back you guys up, and now it is time for me to leave. It's never too good for a destiny weaver alone to be a factor of the plot line for too long, and it's even worse when there are 3 Destiny Weavers and one wisp, which is basically the will of a destiny weaver only heard by other destiny weavers. It's confusing, but don't dwell on that. My being here has caused quite a bit of trouble, and-" /Agent-Destiny Jill, please recall immediately.// "-Oh, for goodness' sake! I was told I could inform the characters of my leave!” Willow stared at me, because I was talking to this tiny voice only heard inside my head, so, yes. “-Willow, look. I have bought Myrtile, yes, your sister back from the dead. In any moment now, I shall write the rest of you for a reunion. Look for her. And here.” I thrust a tiny, crystal necklace in her hands, and closed them, patting them. “You get one wish. Any wish. This necklace also gives you the power to call for me, just grasp it and whisper my name three times. In case you complain that I made you with too bad a memory, my name is carved on the back of it, and that makes it impossible to forget. So, get it?” I ask anxiously. The voice was going to be mad. “I think so.” She says, and she looks a bit scared. I smile. “Hey, I don’t bite. Call for me whenever you need me, but keep in mind that this necklace takes one week to charge, so unless you’re in the most dire conditions, /please// do not use this.” “Alright,” She answers, still dazed. “I leave you here.” I say, writing myself back to the destiny hall. _______________ Willow’s POV: I stare as the form off Jill shimmered, then disappeared. I close my eyes. “I wish…” --*Jill*

Willow's POV: "I wish I could lose my immortality. I want to grow up like a regular kid, like Myrtile." When I opened my eyes again, I could almost see my patron's face, smiling gently down at me. There was a flash. The first thing I saw was a grand hall. I rub my eyes. I must be dreaming. i walk around in a daze, rubbing the necklace that was now on my neck. I look around, and find that Gary, Liz, Maddie, and Mist are all still besides me too, as dazed as I were. Or maybe even more dazed, seeing as /they// didn't talk to their extremely nice and annoying patron like I did. I see Minnesota, and rush over to her. "Hey," She says, and I have a feeling 'hey' didn't cut it for her. "Are you OK?" I ask, concerned. "Where's Miles?" "Separated," She grunted, pulling herself up into a standing position. She stares at me, gaping, and I don't get what happened. Slowly, other members began to appear in the room. The next person we saw to come was Icicle and Crystal. So they were /both// okay. I thought that one of them would've killed the other one by now. Minnesota pushed her hand over her mouth, and the two girls were plagued by bodies, aka Minnesota, and of course, Gary. Stephen waltzed in, holding a laughing Hazel, and I secretly think that I haven't seen them so happy in such a long time. Echo and Fawn appear not far behind them, chattering like nothing had ever happened. Miles sulked, appearing out of thin air very much like Icicle and Crystal had, and lit up when he saw everyone. Kalob appeared, falling on top of Gary, and I had to suppress a laugh. Stella too appeared, followed by Tanner and Rain, appearing at the far side of the room instead of next to them. A few people were still missing, but I couldn't pinpoint who it was. Just then, Narrowly missing the chandelier, a group of five people appeared, floating down from the air. Cleve, Jaxon, Lupa, Colin and... Myrtile. A hand flew up to my mouth, and I whispered, "Myrtile!" I ran towards her with my arms open, but she didn't see me first. She was chatting with Lupa, glad to be back. Colin saw me first, and his eyes went wide. Cleve turned away, all 'I don't want to see this' like. "Willow!" He yelled delightfully, and I only stop to smile at him before running on. His delight turned to confusion, as Myrtile turned in time to slam-- or should I say, be slammed into, my me. "Willow!" She mutters, that delightful, surprised, but at the same time confuzzled tone reached me as it had so long ago. My sister and I were reunited. I noticed then two girls aside from the rest, looking confused. I smiled at them, and peeled myself from Myrtile. I started walking towards them when Myrtile choked out-- "Willow, you're... you're normal again." I looked down and almost forgot. "I know, right?" I smile once more at her, and then knelt down in front of the smaller girl, who had herself pressed against the wall. She looked no more than five or six years old. "Hi! What's your name?" I ask the smaller girl. She shook her head. I looked up in question at the girl standing besides her, she looked about 11 or 12. I was guessing it was 12. "Is she your sister? Can she talk?" I asked her. "What's her name?" The girl smiled. "I don't know her, but I know you. I see you. In... in the dreams." she says. "Dreams?" I ask. Hm... seems like this girl /was// special after all. I tried to think back, tried to sense anyone else, any new kids in the mansion, but I found out that I was unable to. Huh. I guess losing my immortality also meant that I lost any special abilities. "Uh huh! I dreamed about you!" She nodded convincingly, and I stand up to face her, my feet already cramped. "What's your name?" I ask her. "Jenna, and this girl... I found her in a burning mansion." She frowned, as if trying to recall something important. "There were these other girls, with wings, one of them. Like /that// one." I follow her finger, and she points at Mist. I smile. "Maybe the girl you saw was a fallen angel." I suggest, even though I did not really understand the concept of fallen angels. She shook her head. "There was nothing angelic about her, I was sure. The other girl with her looked very bossy." She crossed her arms in a cute way." I was starting to like this kiddo. "Jenna, c'mon. I'll introduce you to the others. Her face lit up. "Okay!" I knelt down and leaned against the wall. "You coming, little fella?" I ask. "Josie!" She says. "Well, Josie, let's get you and Jenna introduced." I open my arms, and to my surprise, Josie hops into it without hesitation. I pick her up and head towards Gary. --*Jill*

I slowly retreated from everyone, not wanting to get caught up in something so foolish as a mushy reunion. I had always been fairly anti-physical-contact, and now... I just didn't know. Suddenly, my eyes fell upon a piece of parchment paper by my foot, and I cautiously picked it up. My name was scrawled on one side, and on the other was a message from... TDC? 'Minnesota, I am your patron; your creator. I am a Destiny Weaver-- I weave the destinies of the characters, but especially you. I apologize for the mess that occurred from my darkness, no doubt that confused you. Let's put it this way: I have multiple aspects that fight inside my total form. I have been recalled from the plotline along with the other Destiny Weavers; it is too dangerous for us to be a part of the plotline for too long. However, I have enclosed a pendant through which you have the power to call on me. I warn you that the pendant has limits-- do not overuse it. I'm sorry, but I am out of time. I must leave now. Best wishes, TDC' On top of the letter, a pendant appeared. A leather cord served as the necklace, and the pendant on it was a beautiful disk of half obsidian, half gold, with a silver crescent moon in the middle. Three names appeared on the back: The Dark Calligrapher, EnaOfTheFlames, and SilverMoon. Minnesota was confused, but less so than before. She folded up the letter and placed it in her jacket pocket, then put on the necklace and dropped it under her shirt. The girl proceeded to watch the reunion, still in full blast. --Splitting Infinitives (TDC & Tur

Dìna didn't seem to buy it either, but we proceeded anyways. The neighborhood was barely recognizable, since I had been transported here through some kind of magic, and I had no idea where I was. A few people peeked out their windows and stared at the four five of us with judging faces, but other than that, no one dared to communicate with us. I didn't dare communicate with my group either, since I was shy. "Ugh," Jacob moaned, as he set down the Freerunner in the grass. "My arms are freaking tired, man." he complained. I didn't ever see Maisley complaining. I cleared my throat and stopped. Dìna almost didn't she was so interested in getting to the ghettos and dropping off Ruby so she could finally see the Garden of Dreams. I sat down beside my friends and twiddled my thumbs. Dìna was my best friend for as long as I could remember, and Jacob was my know-it-all, perfect, show off brother. Dìna insisted that we'd go to the Garden of Dreams one day, and with a so-called /spell/ she casted, we had appeared with Ruby and Maisley. Maisley instantly accepted us and let us join the trip, if we would help her with getting Ruby home. And we agreed, if she would guide us to the Garden of Dreams. "I'll just carry her," I squeaked, my timid voice finally being used. "Huh?" Jacob almost chuckled. "You're not strong enough." I looked at him, my eyes filled with anger. "I /am/ strong enough." I muttered, and scooped up Ruby, who was half way asleep. Maisley looked up at me. "Good for you James, glad to know you're not strictly a mute." she laughed, though I didn't find it funny. Dìna giggled too. I rolled my eyes and kept walking down the block. --Pencil Shavings

I honestly hadn't been this happy to be with him in a long time. Just ahead of us was Willow, Minnesota, Gary, Liz and a few others. I caught Liz's eye and saw the slight sadness and anger in her expression. For a second I almost felt sorry for her. Maybe she didn't know that me and Stephen were //together//. I pushed it out of my mind as others started appearing. Fawn and Echo, of course, Miles, Kalob, Stella and then Tanner and Rain. The few more that were left started floating down from thin air; Cleve, Jaxon, Lupa and Colin. There was one last figure coming down from the air. I couldn't quite make out who it was until they're body came closer, and I gawked. It was Myrtle. Back before I had even met Stephen and gone to the Gateway Mansion, Myrtle had tried to kill me while I was in a weak state. I looked over at Fawn to see he had the same expression on his face. *Gotta go* --EpykDumplings(Toriluv&Meghan)

Our usual, happy group had morphed into a stiff, unsure one. James never complained about carrying Ruby, and always was looking straight ahead. Dìna, one night, called him to her. I heard them whispering, but I ignored it. It was morning now, and I was the only one awake. Ruby looked so peaceful in her sleep. Her wing had been healing perfectly, thanks to my occasional spell. I grabbed Dìna's sack and took out some jerky. I ate it quickly, since I was famished. "Hungry?" I heard a slight rustle behind me. The voice was barely audible. "Yes," I replied, swallowing my bite of food. I whipped around. It was James. "What are you doing up?" I barked, trying not to wake the others. "You were making too much noise." He said, his icy eyes scanning me. "Sorry about that." I muttered, I was surprised he was talking to me...I was surprised he was even talking. "I'm also sorry about that joke. I didn't think it would hurt your feelings." He just nods, and gets up. He then turns and paces slowly down the block. "The others...James. We can't leave them." I was following him now. "I'm not. Just come on." He told me, smiling. "You don't even know your way around, though!" I exclaimed. "That's why you're here." He silences and leads me closer to the ghettos. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he turned. "I like you, Maisley." He stuttered. "Like, like-like you." It all sounded so cheesy. I blew strands of dirty-blonde hair out of my face. "Oh," I said. "James..." I looked up at him. "We just met...." He shook his head and walked back towards camp. He looked heart broken. "I'm so sorry, James. I just don't think I'm that interested in you." --Pencil Shavings

I let my eyes flutter open, but not too far since I didn't want him to see my awake. Maisley was chasing after him, quietly shouting his name like a cat hissing. "James!" She cried once more. James slunk down against a stump near our camp. "Shut up, Maisley." He muttered, though she didn't hear him. I clenched my teeth, something was wrong. James liked Maisley, not despised her. I rolled over, pretending to be tossing in my sleep. I now faced the two who were conversing with each other; Maisley had caught up. "James...I didn't mean it. I just-" James looked up, "You didn't mean /what/, Maisley. I know you meant all that you said." He growled. "I like you as a friend, James, not a boyfriend." My ears tingled with this new information. I slowly sat up and cleared my throat. "Mornin' sunshine." Maisley mumbled, tossing me a piece of jerky. "Thanks." She moved away from the depressed James. I shook Dìna and Ruby to their sense. "Ready to start walking?" I asked. "Sure," Dìna replied almost instantly. Ruby smiled for once and stood up. "I'm feeling so much better. Mind if I walk by my own?" She questioned everyone. We all nodded. "Let's get going." Maisley said as she gathers the bags and herded us away from the camp. --Pencil Shavings

Pencil Shavings, I kinda just TOTALLY MADE UP JACOB, JAMES, AND DINA... XP) :)) I'll just continue... James's POV: I felt so deadened the entire rest of the day. When Maisley tried to pull me away, I pulled away. I spent most of the rest of the day away from everyone, except for Ruby.

She looks at me in annoyance. "I would know because both have happened to me." I stared at the 3 year old. She saw me looking, and said grumpily, "How old do you believe I am?"

I sat down on a nearby rock when everyone else is off collecting firewood. Or, I think everyone is off. James picked his way over to me.

A young boy, around my age said. He was cute, and I was instantly attracted to him. His face looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't tell who anyone else was. "But, it was partially our fault. We'll get in big trouble when we bring her." A girl responded. I closed me eyes and tried to shake away the sharp pains in my body. "Who cares, Louise needs a hospital /now/."

Do you mind if I bring this Jenna to the Gateway reunion?) Minnesota's POV: I wandered the halls, having distanced myself from the reunion for a little while. Suddenly, I sensed an illusion from somewhere... one of the rooms. I turned a corner, and was suddenly facing a dead end. A door was right in front of me-- it looked like an archway to a half-dead plain, but I knew it was just a door, to some kind of parlor. Now, what was that illusion-breaking incantation again? Oh, yeah. /Two worlds combine, two planes of existence, but only one belongs. Outsider, begone!/ Not very poetic, I know, but very effective. The arch disappeared, and a plain black door took its place. I cautiously reached forward and pushed it open. I found a bewildered blonde girl behind it. "Hello," I said to her, "welcome to the Gateway Mansion; I'm Minnesota. Who the heck are you?" (I hope that's okay, PS.) --Into Darkness (TDC & Turtle)

I looked back at Myrtle, smiling and meeting all of the people that had joined the group since we had been transported to the Gateway after she had 'died.' "That's Myrtle." I muttered to Stephen. "Back before you, well, showed up, she tried to kill me. She supposedly changed after that, but, being a victim of her shenanigans, I didn't really believe it all the way. Then she was crushed by the collapsing cave we were all staying in and that was that." I looked back at Stephen, and then at Fawn, who was giving Myrtle an evil eye. If anything, he felt even more resent against her than I did. Echo stood there next to him, trying to convince him Myrtle was good, but was obviously failing. Fawn usually wasn't one for holding grudges (that was /my/ job), but he couldn't seem to let this one go. His snarl looked canine-like, as if he were debating to turn into a coyote and confront Myrtle. --EpykDumplings(Toriluv&Meghan)

Gah... it was... /Fawn//, picking a fight with Myrtile. "What are you doing, you idiots! Are you crazy?" I waved my hands about, jumping in front of Myrtile. Fawn blinked. "You're not 10 anymore." Was all he said before glowering at Myrtile again. I sigh. "Guys..." Liz heaved Josie up in one hand and walked towards the commotion. "What's going on?" She asks. "These two are trying to kill each other." (gottagotoschoolthissecondbye!) --*Jill*

I replied to this "Minnesota" girl hesitantly. "Cool," She beamed, and reached for my hand. I refused it. "I'm not coming with you until I get some answers." I told her sternly. I shook my 14 year old head slowly. "What answers?" She chuckled. I stared at her angrily. "What is this Gateway Mansion? Why am I here?" --Pencil Shavings

I drag Myrtile away from the crowd. "Picking a fight as soon as you got back?" Colin fidgeted next to me. "Willow, it was totally her fau--" He started, and faltered because no one could glare better than Myrtile except maybe, /maybe// Minnesota. "Shut. The. Hell. Up. And. Get. Away. From. Here!" I growled, and he faltered yet again. "right..." He muttered. "Lupa?" I asked, begging for an explanation with my eyes. "Well, Colin was all for killing Myrtile, because you were acting all weird, not liking him, and fourteen years old while he was still stuck as ten. He blamed all of this on Myrtile, because she is your sister..." She said, stumbling on the word sister. "And then, Fawn happened to hear their conversation and took this as an... opportunity to attack Myrtile. I don't know, Fawn isn't usually... like that." I let go of Myrtile's collar. "Stay away from these people." I instructed her, which was kind of ironic, because back home, it was always her who bossed me around sometimes. Not that I usually minded. "Fawn... must be holding Hazel's grudge for her." I say matter of factly. Fawn was fuming, with Hazel and Echo fussing about with him. Mostly Echo, though. Hazel had a weird expression on her face. I turn to Myrtile. "Do I need to ask Lupa to watch over you?" I ask her. "No," She fumed. "Well, stay out of the way for now if you know what's good for you." Ouch. That came out a bit meaner than I expected. Minnesota melted out of the shadows, a new girl trailing behind her. I groaned inwardly. We already had enough people. I patted Minnesota on the shoulders roughly, like I hoped she liked. I think. I raised my eyebrows at the new girl, and then looked questioningly at her. "New girl." Wow, that explains a lot. "Ask her yourself." She was about to brush past me and find Icicle, when we both noticed that she was flirting with Gary again. She had a half look of amusement and a scowl written across her face."So, your best friend and her boyfriend," I say, amused myself. "In the meantime," I say, steering her away from Icicle's direction. "There's someone I want you to meet." I finish, bringing her to Myrtile. I decided that these two really /were// a lot alike. Minnesota was a bit more unyielding than Myrtile, but it might just be because that Myrtile is my sister, so she was naturally a bit more yielding. "Who's this?" She asked me. Or, correction, they /both// asked me at the same time. "Ah, this is Myrtile, my sister." Minnesota looked surprised, or as surprised as she ever seemed. "And this is Minnesota, my... friend." I looked at her, as if asking her if using the term friend was okay. She nodded, it was. The two girls stared at each other for a while. "Well, I'll leave you two to yourself!" I say cheerfully. I then sighed as I realized it would be /my// job /again// to get to know the newbie. I pasted a stiff smile on my face, the day's events had tired me out much. I muttered something along the lines of geez, always my job, I la di la... as I passed Maddie. "Hey, what's up?" She ran to catch up to me. "Nothing. Just more newbies. And of course, it's always, /always// cheerful Willow, delightful Willow, gentle Willow's job." Maddie looked at me, deciding weather to be concerned or humored. "You don't /always// have to do that, Willow. I'll do it for you this time." I smile at her, a real smile, not like the smile I had pasted a few moments ago. "You mean it?" I ask. "Of course!" She exclaims, and runs off with enthusiasm to meet the new girl. I make my way over to Liz, Josie, and Jenna, who were all still looking a bit confused. "What happened? Is Fawn okay?" She asked anxiously. "Boyfriend business." I growl. Five year old Josie looked a bit scared, as did Jenna. "Oh, sorry, honey. Here," I take Josie from Liz's hand, leaving her absently staring at Stephen. I walk a distance with Jenna. "Anything on your mind?" I asked her as I walk. "No, it's just... well, yes, actually. We, Josie and I, we have powers. Special powers. Josie just put a whole mansion on fire with a snap. And me..." I listened as she recounted what she could do and all the things that she did. My eyes grew wide. "Gods of Olympus you--" Gary stood on a stool and clapped important-like. I sigh. "We'll talk later," I gave Jenna a stern look. One that told her this was important. Very important. "Hey, guys!" Gary called. "We've been through this reunion, which was-- had been going on for too long. We need to find food, NOW. Anyone have any ideas?" I hesitantly raised my hand. "I... I could ask Jill for help..." I say slowly, "Since it's such a large party. But... if we get into any mortal danger for the next week... Well, I can't exactly call for her every meal, you know?" Gary sighs. "I know. How many other people's Patrons have contacted you?" He asks the crowd. Minnesota and Myrtile sulked in a corner, but much to my-- and everyone's surprise, raised her hand. "Nothing Special." She quickly realized her blunder, and shrunk back into the shadows. Gary frowned. Josie tugged at my sleeve. "I don't like that big girl," She said hesitantly. "I know, now. Hush." (TDC, what Minnesota decides to tell and to not tell is up to you.) --*Jill*

A girl said to me as I twiddled my thumbs. Thoughts raced through my mind, /should I talk to her? Will she have answers to my questions?/ "Hey, I'm Ceres." I replied, the words flowing from my mouth with no usual hesitation. "Welcome to the Gateway Mansion!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together in delight. Sometimes these people looked too cheerful. "I'm confused..." I trailed off, staring at the rest of the crowd. "I'd expect you to be." she giggled. "Where am I? Who are these people? Why am I here?" She continued laughing. "Like I said before, this is Gateway Mansion. These people are my friends...well, at least some of them are. And some of them are controlled Destiny Weavers." My jaw dropped. "What? My mother was one of those...." Maddie smiled. "Good, then that's why you are here. You must have some sort of connection to this place, and you've been brought back."

My fingers gripped the sides of the metal hospital bed. Was I sick? I didn't know. I tried to sit up but I couldn't...was I tied down? Yes! Rope was cutting into my wrists and legs. There was a metal collar around my neck. Panic engulfed me, and I clawed at it. The collar was so cold that I shivered. Then a real tremor ran through me. My muscles started to bulge. Feathers! All over me! Suffocating! I was a bird...That's right! A bird. An osprey. That felt better. The ropes fell around me, broken my my talons. There was a window, and my instincts sent me flying towards it. Fresh air. Nice, very nice. I flew off, lonely and confused, into a velvet midnight sky patterned with stars. --Niamh

I gasped. "Uh huh," Maddie sounded sick of my questions, so she just turned around and walked back to her friends. I was alone again, and so I looked around for someone to talk to. I scanned the crowd, no one looked like alone, no one looked like they needed the company of some worthless newbie. My eye caught a boy, one around my age. I was instantly drawn to him, so I went over to talk. *Any boys you know of could be this guy, TDC, Jill or Epyk?* --Pencil Shavings

"Woah!" I exclaimed, everyone turned to look at me, and I was obviously out of place. "CK?" I called for the only person I knew well. "CK!?" A girl looked shocked. "CK? You know CharacterKiller?" She asked. I nodded, at once, the whole crowd backed away. "Should we trust him?" "Who is he?" "I wonder if he was sent to kill us!" I heard people whispering. "Don't move!" The same girl commanded me. "Minnesota, don't get too close." Another one said as the girl stepped closer. "I got this, Luna." A small knife materialized in this Minnesota girl's hand. "Please," I uttered. "Don't hurt me. I'm not here to hurt any of you." I slowly backed away from the approaching girl, as she intimidated me with her knife and stance. "I won't hurt you! You can trust me!" Minnesota shook her head in disagreeing manner. "How can we trust you if you know CK?" She murmured. "He's only my brother. I have brought no harm to anyone! Please, just /trust/ me." Minnesota stopped, her eyes changed as they clouded with sympathy. "I feel bad for you," She pitied. "Who would want CK as their brother..." The knife in her hand disappeared. The Luna girl she was talking to before let out a huge sigh of relief. "Maybe he /is/ good." She suggested, shrugging her shoulders. "But how can we make sure he won't hurt us?" I took a step forward. "If I hurt anyone," I said solemnly. "You can kill me." Luna and Minnesota looked to each other, same as the others in the crowd. They all looked utterly shocked. "Fine." Minnesota said. "We'll trust you for now. But no speaking about CK to /anyone/." I nod thoughtfully. "I won't. I'm sorry I even brought him up. It's just, that's who I last saw. I thought he could help me get out of here..." Minnesota laughed. "No one can help you get out of here right now, you're stuck until some Destiny Weaver decides to let you leave." She chuckled under her breath. "Okay then. I promise I won't hurt anyone. And I'll be helpful when you need it." I said. I felt like I was taking some kind of stupid oath, why can't they trust me? And what's so bad about my brother? "By the way..." I mention. "My name is Milo." * Milo does't know that CK is actually killing characters yet XD. He just thinks he is his innocent brother.* --Pencil Shavings

Why arcs? 1) I'm watching too much anime ^-^, and 2) Well... they're not chapters, they're not episodes... see where I'm going? So, as I've said, I have the story saved only from Jill's first re-quote of CK. So, the arcs go in this order: Portal Arc (where CK sends the characters, minus Gary and Liz, into the portals, and their "adventures" in the portal world), Destiny Weaver Arc (In which some of the writers write themselves into the story and stuff), Insanity Arc (in which the newbie plotline takes over and the consistent authors continue the DW Arc), and Reunion Arc (where we are right now).) --Into Darkness (TDC & Turtle)

Echo was Fawn's girlfriend, but I have no idea where Fawn and his sister, Hazel went. Echo can turn into an arctic fox and control the elements. Echo has long, brown hair, hazel eyes, fair skin and as an arctic fox she is just a plain arctic fox except for a blue cresent moon on her bangs (which cover one eye whether she's human or arctic fox.* Echo felt herself falling, falling. Fawn was there, but then he flew away from her grasp. Echo didn't know what to do. Her boyfriend and best friends Hazel, and Lupa; were gone. Suddenly she landed with a thump. "Ow,"Echo moaned as she opened her eyes to see Gary and Liz. She sat up. "Gary! Liz! Thank goodness you're here too!" Echo exclaimed. "Oh, hi Minnesota," Echo said, turning.
