While all this was happening, Alice slowly opened her eyes, after her surgery. The only thing remarkable in this hospital room, was its small TV, and her bloody dress, hanging up. She caught a look at herself in the TV's reflection and gasped.
She looked like a MESS. Her face was haggered, she had a cast on her arm, and several bandages around her head, making her look like a ninja.
She heard a small, timid knock on the door, and a shadow slip in.
"Who's there?" she called out horsely. Slowly the figure emerged, and Alice gasped.
Standing in front of her was Kiki Strike, dressed in black, and holding a package, and a bouquet of flowers, with a sad, and worried expression on her face.

"Are you ok?" asked Kiki. Seeing the incredulous look on Alice's face she was taken aback. "What? I came as soon as I could." Emma chose that moment to come visit Alice. "You," she growled at Kiki. "Get away from her." "What's going on?" asked Kiki. "Did I do something wrong?" "Drop the innocence facade. I know you have a weapon on you and if you hurt her, I swear..." "Wait a second," said Kiki. "I'm not oing to hurt anyone. Just tell me what the heck is going on." "You shot Poppy & Alice and tried to kill Poppy last night." "What? No! I don't know what you're talking about."

The nurse left, along with Emma. Poppy reached a shaking hand over and dug out the knife. Fire seared through her wrist and she screamed. The same nurse that had been in there a minute ago ran into the room "Oh my God!" She grabbed the knife from Poppy and set it on her dresser. Then she took paper towels from in the dispenser in Poppy's room and wrapped them around the wound. It was bleeding profusely and the towels were soaked in minutes. "IT HURTS!" Howled the Irregular. "GET THEM OFF ME!" "Yes but it will stop the bleeding," the nurse cooed. "Now, I need you to keep your arm elevated while you hold the towels in place with your left hand. I'm going to get the doctor so that he can wrap you with gauze."

OOC: I keep leaving indigo out of everything , I guess I'm not on enough IC: Indigo had finally gotten herself un-lost in the maze of hallways and was heading towards Poppy's room to find Emma to ask where Alice was when she heard a scream and saw Kiki run out of the room. Of course, she chased her. through the halls and out the doors they ran nurses and doctors yelling after them to walk. Kiki had a black Corvette with dark tinted windows waiting for her just outside the doors, she jumped into the passenger side and the car sped away. Indigo grabbed her board and helmet and skated after them, ditching her bag in the bushes so it wouldn't weigh her down. It was only as she sped down the hill after the car that she realised leaving her phone and weapons might not have been the best of ideas.

Emma ran after Indigo, and the fake Kiki, leaving Alice and Kiki in the room.
She then saw Kiki give her a hurt expression, the climbed under the window, and disappeared.
"Thanks for visiting!" she yelled to them sarcastically, then realized that Kiki left the gift on her nightstand.
She hid the gift under her butt, just in case something bad was in it, then called the nurse over.
"Yes?" The cheery nurse asked Alice, as she arrived at her door.
"Can you please put these flowers in a vase please?" Alice asked sweetly.
After the nurse put the flowers in a crystal vase, and left, Alice opened the light blue letter that was on the slick black present.
Alice, Hope you feel better! Here's a little something for you, and be alert. I'm coming back this evening.
-Kiki S.
P.S. Here's my phone number
It then listed her phone number. Alice studied the hard, black pen that was pressed on the light blue letter. Finding no evidence, she sighed, then set the letter next to her flowers and opened the present.
There was three items total. A hair clip, with a chunk of blue hair, the exact shade of blue hair she had. A copy of The Catcher and the Rye, and the best item of all. A necklace.
It wasn't no ordinary necklace. On a black chain hung a charm in the shape of the Irregular symbol. One side of it was pure gold, while the other was pure silver. Struggling with the clasp, she finally got it on, and it hung perfectly around her neck.
Slowly a tear ran down her cheek, and she brushed it away. She vowed that when she saw Kiki again, whenever that will be, she will forgive, and thank her.

Emma grabbed a random bike and chased after Indigo and Kiki. She had trouble keeping the Corvette in sight, but it eventually stopped at an old warehouse. As the Kiki person got out of the corner and entered the building, Emma dropped the bike and hurried over to Indigo. "What should we do?" she asked

Poppy desperately held the paper towels around her wrist. Both her hands were shaking violently. The nurse looked at her with sympathy and pressed a call button. "Paging Dr. Muinez, we are in need of immediate medical assistance in room 506. That's Dr. Muinez, 506." Almost the second she took her finger off the button, the doctor and three nurses entered the room. Muinez smiled and saluted to Poppy. " 'Ello there!" He grimaced when he saw the bloody paper towels, but only for a second. Then he slid two latex gloves over his hands and picked up a roll of gauze. Poppy whimpered. Dr. Muinez smiled. "Don't worry; this'll be over very quickly. Now hold your hand." Poppy obeyed, he began to delicately unwrap the towels. The wound stung like hell when it was exposed to the air, but true to his word, Muinez wrapped it quickly. As soon as he was done, the doctor stepped away from the bed and gave Poppy a serious look. "Now would you mind telling me what that knife was doing in your wrist?"

Kiki poked a gun out the window "I don't like guns," decided Indigo "I really, really, don't like guns" to her left was a steady stream of new york traffic, to her right was a guard rail and a steep shrub covered embankment. BANG! the shot went wide. huh? kiki can shoot better than that. mused indigo, then it registered that she had just been shot at "ohhh-" she couldn't finish the thought as a bullet hit her board and sent her flying cleanly over the guard rail and into a twenty foot wall of thorns.

Emma ran over to Indigo. "Are you alright?" she demanded. "Did she hit you? Let me check your pulse. Answer me, darnit!" She turned to the window and saw Kiki taking aim again. "Crap," she muttered and dived just as Kiki shot. The bullet flew over her head, but just by an inch.

"Um...uh...well..." Poppy stalled as the doctor looked at her impatiently. 'Should I just tell the truth?' she thought to herself. 'Might as well.' She cleared her throat and spoke: "The truth is, Dr. Muinez, though you're not going to believe it, is that the same person who shot me snuck in here last night. She first attempted to kill me, but when that didn't work, she stabbed me and left me like this, until that nurse came here and found me. Does that answer your question?" Everyone was silent.

Alice, soon fell asleep, and awoke, to someone shaking her gently.
"Wha- Where?" she said drowsily.
"It's me." A small voice called out.
"Kiki?" Alice gasped, opening her eyes now.
It was true, Kiki Strike, dressed in a black tank-top, with a black skirt, loomed over Alice. Wearing pale red lipstick, hair down, and looking astonishing beautiful in the moonlight.
"Now tell me, please," said Kiki sitting down, "What's happened in the last 24 hours?"
Alice thought of lying, but she couldn't tell anymore lies. Not now, at least, not to Kiki. Alice's lip trembled for a second, and then poured out everything to her. About her identical twin, her dream, everything. Kiki stayed still, then got up.
"I'm leaving, Indigo, and Emma are in danger." she told Alice.
"Be Safe."they both said at the same time. She smiled genuinely, then holding the open window ledge, fell down into the night.

Emma looked at Indigo. "Are you ok to move?" she asked, and not waiting for an answer, picked her up and carried her fire fighter style out of there. Another gunshot fell just to her left and she ran faster. They were almost away from the warehouse when Emma felt a pain in her leg and looked down. There was a hole in her right leg and she could see blood streaking down her leg. She felt herself collapse and her knees buckle. Before she hit the ground she gave Indigo a push so that she landed a safe distance away. Emma tried to get up, but found she couldn't make her legs support her, whether from the pain or the realization that she'd been shot she didn't know. "Get out of here," she whispered to Indigo.

Alice's phone, rang, and she struggled herself up, and got it. Turns out it was a text message. The message read: We need reinforcements now! -Emma
She set it out, and quickly called Kiki's name. Kiki's head popped out of the window.
"Yes?" she answered.
"Emma and Indigo are in trouble, we have to help them."
"We?"
"Yes, we, now help me up."
Kiki was about to protest, but sighed, climbed into the room, and helped Alice get up.
"Ouch." she said, everything was numb, and in pain.
"Want me to set you back down?" she asked.
"No No, we have to get there. I'll be right back." She grabbed her dress, socks, and boots. After she put them on, she turned fashionably around. The blood was a nice change to her outfit she thought.
Putting the hair clip that Kiki gave her, on the tiny part that was bald, thanks to the bullet in her head and finally, she looked like herself. Besides the broken arm.
"Do you need weapons?" Kiki said.
"No I have my own." she said, showing her the swiss army knife, and gun. "But, could you put this on, I love it so much." she asked Kiki, showing the necklace.
"Sure." said Kiki. She slid the cool chain around her neck, fastened the clasp, and today the silver Irregular mark shined in the moonlight.
"Let's go." Kiki commanded. "Now follow my moves."
They both grabbed the window ledge, and Alice could see that there was a tiny grappling hook, on two sides. She was unsure, because it was around 2 stories down.
"No worries." Kiki said, reading her thoughts. "The cords can support 210 pounds."
Alice put on the belts, and she grabbed a cord. Kiki went flying into the night, screaming joyfully.
Alice holding on to dear life, took a deep breath, and descended into the night, as a phantom of the night.
OOC: Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom, to join the black parade.

OOC: ill take a chance make a change and break away IC: Emma put away her phone. She could hear footsteps on the gravel behind her. It was probably the person who had shot them. She looked into Indigo's eyes. "Go, now."

OOC: sorry for not posting on here
IC: Indigo blinked her eyes a few times, there was blood in her mouth, yuck, and a bunch more on her jacket, and how would she get the stains out without her mother noticing, and she was being carried, by someone, why the heck was she being carried? then there was a gun shot and she was flying through the air, oh yeah now she remembered what had happened.
Emma, lying a few feet away, looked up at her, her leg was a bloody mess, "Go, now." she said
"yeah, nice try at being a martyr and all that" Indigo muttered. Not bothering to see who had shot at them, she grabbed Emma and began half-caring half-dragging her towards the trees. She fumbled in her pocket. "crap" her phone was in her bag, her bag was at the hospital. 'maybe this is a good time to start believing in miracles' she thought as they reached the thick stand of trees.
