Poppy's eyes shot open. It was dark in her room, but the light from the hallway poured in through the doorway. "Visiting hours have ended, ma'am. I'm afraid you can't be in this part of the hospital at ni--" The voice was cut off by a strangled scream. Poppy shrieked but but a hand over her mouth and covered it up. A shadow of a young girl appeared in the door way. Kiki Strike walked in, glaring at Poppy.

"Hey," said Kiki. Her light eyes held a certain darkness to them. She walked over to the respirator and glared at it for a moment. OOC: more later.

After an exciting day, working on expirements Alice walked over to the phone, to see if her mom had called. She hasn't seen her all day, but she didn't worry. Her mom always took trips like these, and came back just fine.
She checked her messages, and was surprised to see 21 on them. She wasn't THAT popular. She quickly pressed the first one, and gasped when she heard that Poppy had been shot. She listen to each one, that was describing the situation over and over. The last one talked about the meeting tonight, and quote "The show must go on." She stood there a moment, and rubbed her arm, where she got shot once before. She grabbed everything, and stuffed them in her black dress's pockets. She then took a small metal box, took a key off her neck and unlocked the metal box, her own personal weaponry.
She lingered over each one, the ninja stars, swords, knifes, and guns. Finally she chose a tiny swiss army, and a tiny little gun, and left off towards the meeting. If anyone tried to harm her or her fellow friends, they were in for a nasty surprise.

'Kiki' was still staring at the switch on Poppy's respirator in almost a trance-like state when her phone rang. She seemed to start awake from a sleep and looked at the number. It was unfamiliar. She picked up. "Hello."
Somewhere else in the city. Emma was back at the scene of the crime, looking around before the meeting. She had to find a way around the police gaurd. "Hey!" she holloered. "The donut place is having a half off sale." The police looked at each other, leaving onlly one of them. She made her way around him and looked around. She was abut to give up when she saw something silver catch the light. It was a hair.

Kiki's hand hovered over the respirator. 'I count to five,' Poppy thought. 'Then I scream.' Five. Four. Three. Two-- Kiki's phone buzzed loudly. She her entire body spasmed, then she reached a shaky hand into her pocket. "Hello.?" "Three more days, Laura. Remember, if you don't pull the trigger, I will." The phone beeped, indicating the caller had hung up. Kiki stared ahead, her face twisted with shock. The phone slid from her hand, and it snapped in two on the floor. She screamed and sunk to her knees, burying her hands in her hair.

Before Alice went to the meeting she stopped by at the mall to investigate to crime scene. She didn't mind if she was a few minutes late to the meeting.
She picked the lock, and let herself in. She found the crime scene, through the description of the phone messages. There she saw Emma frozen. She was about to say hello when she saw what was happening. A shadow, quick runs, showing white hair. The worst part? Part of the shadow had a gun. Slowly the gun released the trigger.
"EMMA!!" She yelled, knocking Emma to the ground, and getting hit in the arm with the shot. Four more bullets came, one in the arm, two in the legs, and the last in the head. She crumbled down. Then the shadow loomed over her, and was quickly knocked senseless with a leg. Kiki and the masked figure fought, but Kiki was victorious. When Emma was over her shock, and Kiki finished, each one, unable to see each other loomed over Alice.
"911, FAST." She whispered, and then her vision blurred, and was swallowed to a world of unconciousness.

"Oh my gosh," gasped Emma. She didn't have a cell phone. Too traceable. She ran to the nearest pay phone and typed in 911. She told them that she had a friend who had been shot and dragged Alice outside the mall. The last thing she needed was police asking questions about why they were there. In a few minutes, the ambulance came screaching down the road. Paramedics moved Alice into it and Emma climbed in after them. She couldn't help thinking this is the second friend she'd helped to the hospital on account of this kiki person. And this time, she'd taken several bullents for her. "Hold on," Emma whispered. "I'll help you." Not only would she do that, she vowed, she'd make this person regret this.

(And of course while all this is going on Indigo is at home asleep :-P)
Indigo's phone buzzed under her pillow, she jerked upright stifling a scream, it buzzed again, she fished it out and turned off the alarm before it started to ring and woke everyone up. "crap" she hadn't meant to fall asleep, now she would be late to the meeting. her phone buzzed again, this time a voice mail she listened to it with growing panic "Indigo, its Emma, Alice was shot, shes in intensive care, they don't know if she'll make it, we're at the same hospital as before but-" the message cut off abruptly.
Indigo threw on a jacket over her clothes and grabbed her bag board and helmet, then she opened the window and stepped out onto the fire escape. at this time of night the subways weren't quite as crowed at usual but this only made them scarier, Indigo stood right next to the door, board under her arm trying very hard not to attract the attention of either the gang members with the boom box or the random crazies who were shouting and cussing at things only they could see.
Finally she was there, indigo skated across the parking lot as fast as she could then stashed her board and helmet behind some thorny bushes figuring they wouldn't be appreciated in a hospital.
Emma was waiting.

"I'm so glad you got here," said Emma when she saw Indigo. "She's going into surgery. She got shot in the arms, legs, and head. They said that if she makes it, they're going to have to work hard to stop any paralysis." She took deep breaths to keep from crying. This couldn't be happening again. If it was possible for her to hate guns any more than she already did, she would have. She had to look away from Indigo's face and up at the sky, hoping gravity would make the tears stay in her eyes and not fall. The night sky was a purplish color that spoke of carbon dioxide and beauty. Stars and sattelites intermingled*, creating a pulsing shining picture. How could something so majestic exist on such a horrible night?
The Kiki person was back on the hotel, not sure what to do about Poppy. "I can't do it," she whispered. Not while someone was down like that. It wasn't right. "Since when do you care what's right?" she asked herself. "You do what you must." But still she sat there. *OOC: confusing stars for sattelites. I never dreamed that you'd be mine, but here we are, we're here tonight.

Alice's dream was beautiful, even in this state of pain. It was New York, the buildings were shining gold in the distance. She realized she was in a meadow, with silver grass, leaves, and the sun, and gold tree trunks, and sky. She moved with such gracefulness it HAD to be a dream. That's when she saw them.
The Irregulars, all of them, in white sparkly dresses, sitting in the grass inviting Alice to come. She ran to them, and hugged everyone. She then, sat down, and chatted with them,smiling. She loved this world. But then, their expressions worried, and everything got dimmer and dimmer, like a fading candlelight.
"No!" She yelled, but it came out like a whisper. Then she was swallowed in complete black darkness. She blinked her eyes and came into reality.

Kiki kneeled on the floor whimpering. Her face was flushed and sticky with sweat. Poppy was utterly dumbfounded. "Kiki--" OOC: I'm sorry I God played with Emma a bit. The girl sprang off the floor whipped out a knife and held it an immeasurably small from Poppy's throat. A tiny bead of blood formed where it bit into her skin ."I'll do it," she whispered, voice cracking. "I have to do it." Her eyes widened and glistened with tears. "But I...don't..." The door swung open and Emma burst in. "Poppy! Alice is here! Kiki shot--" She cut off, staring right at Kiki.

OOC: that's alright IC: "You," she said. Her voice was low and dangerous. "Drop the knife. Now." "Or what?" asked the Kiki person. "What are you going to do?" "What do you want?" Emma asked. "Why don't you drop the knife and maybe I can help you." "No," said the Kiki person sharply. "You can't help me. Nobody can help me." "I've felt that way," said Emma. "Believe me, I have. But then I met some friends who showed em otherwises." This whole time she'd been moving forward slowly, until she was only 5 feet away. "Stop moving!" said the Kiki person. "Or I'll kill her!" she pushed the knife in just a little bit to emphasize this fact. OOC: more later

Poppy felt like she was going to scream. Being totally helpless with a knife at her throat and her friend in danger...it was a sickening feeling. Poppy had never felt like things were this out of her control before. The three stood in silence that seemed to last forever. Then Poppy saw Kiki's hand twitch ever so slightly...and she advanced on Emma. Poppy shrieked. Her hand shot out from the bed and latched onto the girl's wrist. Her feet flew out from under her and she hit the ground. "Kiki" whirled around to face Poppy. "YOU!" Her knife came sailing down and buried itself in Poppy's wrist. Blood streamed out. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The pain was unbearable. All of a sudden, a nurse entered.

"young lady," said the nurse, "What are you doing in here. And what happened?" "Me?" squeaked Emma. "Of course you," sighed the nurse, growing impatiant. "Who else would I be talking to? The patiant?" emma spun around, but Kiki was gone. "She was just here," she said. "There was another girl here a second ago." "Sure there was. I think you should come with me." "But, it's true." "Now." the woman grabbed Emma's arm and dragged her out. "This time," said the nurse sternly, "I'm going to let you go. But if something like this happens again, I will call the police." Emma nodded, trying to keep herself from sweating. The police couldn't come. They'd find out about her past and then she'd have to go back toher family... She took a deep breath and tried to smile. "Yes, ma'am."
