Rift (RP)

[kago]

"I know that you have come from a parallel world, a place quite similar to this one! I know that you have no idea of how you came here, or how to return, and I know that you have had something bad happen to you, for more then a year!" Sleif told Siri, then looked back at the fire.

The flames lighted up Sleifs peircing red eyes as Siri stared into them. "Another world, i know i that. Something bad happened to me, now that was obvious when i woke up in Thrae. And i got here by a Rift, everything else i don't know." Siri told Sleif with a soft tone. "Well, i'm gonna take a nap." Siri said as she layed down.

"Daddy!" A little girl yelled out as she ran towards a man. "Hey! How is my little girl?" The man asked as he picked her up. "I'm doing fine, mom said picked me up today." the little girl mentioned to her dad. "Really? Well how bout i take you out to eat? And you get to choose where." The man said as he kissed her on the forehead and put her down. "Mom!" The little girl yelled as she ran into the house.

Taylor reached the bottom of the staircase, her head crashing into the floor, and she flipped over onto her back. "Damn, today just gets better!" She said through gritted teeth, her eyes flaring with anger. She took a deep breath, trying to release her bottled up rage, but she only suceeded in hurting her chest. She closed her eyes, and lay her head back onto the wood floor, putting her body into a spread eagle posistion, although her legs were still slightly on the stairs.

The Rift is upon you now... "What the hell?" Taylor squinched her closed eyes, as if she was hearing the voices inside her head. Its much too late to be stopped. Accept the Rift and its doings... "Stop that!" She said aloud, although she knew the voice was inside her head. The same raspy voice, sending chills down her spine. She finally opened her eyes again, and blinked as she looked up at the bright light that hung in the chandelier overhead.

[Stavros]

Stavros heard a crash and immediately went to find out what had made the noise. He had an odd feeling, that someone was watching him, just like on the plane, but he put it off. He found Taylor laying on the floor, staring up at the chandelier. He stood over her and casted a shadow over her, "Are you. . .ok?" He asked in a slightly hoarse voice. He noticed a trickle of blood on the floor beneath her head, "Did you. . .fall?" He asked and he watched for her reaction. Her eyes seemed to show fear.

[Sora_Rox_My_Sox]

Shadows crawled across Stavros's face as he stood in over her. "Fall?" She said in a distracted voice, her eyes shining spoltches of multicolored light everywhere. Her staring at the bright light had made her pupils dilate, and she had to blink a couple times. "Oh, fall! Yes, I...uh...tripped, and fell down." She said sheepishly, her face turning red with embarassment. She sat up, lolling her head against the iron rungs around the stairs. "I hope I didnt wake you. Your probably really tired still." She said, flashing a smile, her anger and rage instantly gone.

She looked down at the floor, and saw drips of shiny, dark red blood scattered across it. She reached her hand up to her head, and delicately grazed over her scalp. "Oww..." She muttered, as she found a deep gash atop her hairline. The hair around the wound was now wet and sticky with blood, and she slowly lowered her hand. She didnt want to worry Stavros, after all, she only fell down the stairs. "I'll go clean this up, sorry again." She mumbled as she looked up at him, hiding her blood covered hand behind her back.

[Stavros]

Stavros smiled a weak smile, he noticed that she hid her hand, probably in an effort to avoid suspicion. "No, you didn't wake me." He said finally, after a bit of silence. He looked around the house a bit and the back to her, "You've a nice place here." He said, trying to find a way to keep the silence broken.

I hope she's not too hurt. . .can't she see the blood on the floor? Oh well. . .

The rift beckons. . . . A voice called out, he shook his head, these voices were really starting to freak him out, but he didn't want her to think he was insane. . .

[Sora_Rox_My_Sox]

"Thanks, my parents are gone for the rest of the week, so you dont have to worry." She said to him, flashing a quick grin. She slowly pulled herself up from her sitting posistion, and leaned against the wall. She glanced back at the blood on the floor, before giving Stavros another smile. She was a bit dizzy, but she held her head up high, and walked into her kitchen as straight as she could.

She grabbed a wet towel, and easily placed on her cut. She let a gasp escape from her lips, as the towel was surprisingly cold. After a moment, she took it off, and wrung it out. A dark red splotch made its way out from the center, but she folded it up, and walked back out to the stairs. She sat on the floor and began to mop up the blood, and then looked back up at Stavros. He seemed a bit frightened, but she didnt want to ask.

Accept the Rift and it's doings... The voice cackled inside her, and she was unable to block it out. It made her head pound with pain, and the edgyness of the voice was sharp, cutting into her own thoughts. "Stop that!" She shouted out again. She froze, and looked up at Stavros. What was she going to tell him? That she heard voices in her head telling her about mystical powers and the future? That was just asking for him to say she was crazy! She quickly wiped the dumb look off her face, and gave another smile. "Damn it!" She huffed under her breath.

Sleif waited until Siri finally fell asleep, before returning his gaze back onto the fire. "The Rift will be upon both of yous soon!" the voice inside Sleifs head said.
"I know! I've known since I found her, that it would return soon!" replied Sleif, in a low sound.

"Yous should find others, that will be the same, as well!" said the voice. "Yes, but what will happen then?" Sleif asked. "That, you will have to find for yourself!" the voice said, before fading away.

Looking down at the fire, it had already burned out, just as the sun was rising. "I must have been talking all night!" Sleif said to himself, before lying down on the ground.
"Once she awakes we can decide what to do next!" Sleif thought, as he laid back and tried to rest.

[Stavros]

Stavros watched her clean her wounds, a soft gasp escaped her lips as she pressed a towel to her head. As she took it off, it was stained a dark red, More blood than I'd expect. . .she better lay down. . . She immediately went to cleaning the blood from the floor, then she looked up to him, cursing under her breath.

He knelt down to her level and placed his hand on her soft shoulder. "Listen, you'd better lay down, you're hurt, and probably shouldn't be conscious." He said, trying to sound convincing. He actually didn't know what she should do, but she saved him once, so he had to return the favor, somehow.

Siri woke up with a smile on her face. "Was that me, were those my parents?" Siri asked herself. Siri looked at where the fire was, it was nothing but blackened wood and ash; she then looked at Sleif, it looked like he was still sleeping, so she let him be. "The Rift..." Siri mummbled. "I wonder if Deemo knows about this. If he does, no good could come of this. And what were they doing to me back at Thrae? There is so much i need to know."Well, it lookslike i wont get any of my questions awnsered soon. Better make the most of it." Siri siad in her head, as she sat on the ground.

[Sora_Rox_My_Sox]

Stavros gently placed his hand on her shoulder, and looked down at her. "Yea, i am gonna go rest i guess..." She said, dropping the blood soaked rag to the floor. She slowly trudged her way to the couch and collapsed onto its soft cushions. What a crazy day...at least its over now. She though and she lay her head onto a pillow.

"You're free to wander around the house. We have food in the fridge, drinks and snacks too. Make yourself at home..." She shouted back to Stavros, before she closed her eyes. Sleep was probably the last thing she needed right now, but for Stavros's sake, she would try. Stavros...He is such a sweet guy! I was lucky I found him. She thought as a smile crept across her face. She put her mind at ease, and slowly drifted into sleep.

[Stavros]

Stavros watched as she complied and slept on the couch. Wow, this girl is trusting, she left me to her entire house. . . he thought in slight disbelief. He waited for her to fall asleep and he quietly turned away and walked out of the room, switching the lights off as he walked. "Goodnight. . ." He said softly as he did so.

After grabbing something to eat, some left over pizza, he decided that he'd take her up on her offer and looked around the place. He stopped at a room that had a little light above it, the light was green. He decided to go inside. Inside he found what looked to be a recording studio, there were guitars, drums, and a few mike stands scattered about a small room connected to this one via a glass wall. "Huh. . .that's weird. . ." He said as he walked into the room with all of the instruments. He picked up an acoustic guitar and started played a simple G chord. After he was done turning, he plucked the first few chords of Good Riddance, by Green Day. Pretty soon he was playing the song and singing softly, it was one of the few things he was good at, guitar.

The sun had well risen by the time Sleif awoke from his little sleep. Sitting up, he noticed that Siri was already awake.
"Sorry, for making you wait!" Sleif said, as he stood up from the ground, and stretched a little, trying to get what little tiredness that remained with him, out.

"So, what do you think we should do?" asked Sleif, as he looked at Siri.

[kago]

"Sorry, for making you wait!" Sleif said as he sat up.

Siri just looked at him and smiled.

"So, what do you think we should do?" asked Sleif, as he looked at Siri.

"Well, i would like to get back home and find out exactly what's going on in my life, but i don't see that happening any time soon. Besides, shouldn't i be asking you that question, after all, you are from this world. Therefore you should be choosing our destination." Siri replied to Sleif. Right after she stopped talking, her stomach growled. Siri looked at her stomach, then at Sleif, and giggled a little. "Do you have good food over here?" Siri asked as she rubbed her stomach.

It was actually quite odd what had happened next. The two prisoners were in two separate cells on opposite sides of the ship. Now while there was no chance of either one escaping, all the crew members felt like there was something they should fear. When the captain returned to the helm this unassurance was made real when an eerie voice began to speak. But speak, in their minds? "All that you know will change," it hissed. "Advanced technology, supernatural powers, parallel universes, ancient magic, time travel. Are you ready?" It seemed like all the crew had heard this because they all looked at each other and stopped. After a long pause, the whole deck was bustling with yelling and screaming and men running around. Two men jumped ship, another 3 made their way to the longboat, which had split in two because of the storm. Everyone was runnign around. That is, except two people.

The first of which was Victor The Flying Dutchman, who was never easily scared. Plus at the moment, he happened to be so drunk he could barely hear. The second was Tre, who was quietly thinking about what the girl had said. Him? Captain? Over Tinitad? Captain Tre did have a nice ring to it. But how could he commit mutiny? Against the man who had become like a best friend to him? The crew at the moment was extremely against Trinitad, so if he were to lead a mutiny against him, possibly maroon him somewhere, he would be the new captain. It all sounded so appealing to him. And it just kept getting better.

Trinitad was furious at the reaction of his crew, and so fired a bullet into the air for attention. "Listen ye bilge rats! Any one o' ye who got a problem with ol' Trinitad let him speak. Get to work or face Ol' Hob!" he yelled at them. Two more had decided to jump ship then, leaving trinitad with his "Top Ten" so to speak. Some were reluctant about staying, some just didn't want to die. But they all would...

Eventually.

Taylor opened her eyes to darkness. She wasnt even remotely sleepy, which explained why she probably only slept 15 minutes. Stavros had turned off the lights, and after a moment, her eyes adjusted to the surrounding darkness. "That was nice of him." She whispered to herself, the silence making her afraid to raise her voice. But, there was something more than silence...a soft and subtle melody that carried through the empty house. She walked towards the sound, which was coming from her recording studio, and saw a dim light passing out of the door way.

She moved quietly towards the door, the low and melodious tune softly enchanting her. She peered into the doorway, and saw Stavros, sitting in a chair, his back to the door. He was playing her favorite gauitar, the sweet notes drifting in the air like mist, and he was also singing. She politely waited for him to finish, aloowing the beauty of his voice and music to wash over her. When he had finished, she slowly entered the room, a smile on her face.

"That was really good. You're a fantastic guitar player, and singer too." She said to him, glancing over at her guitar. "You're much better than I am." She admitted to him, her face flushing. She went over and sat in a soft chair, over in the room's corner, humming the tune in her head.
