Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Please let go Warren." Ruby said calmly, even though her heart was racing with the sudden act. She continued just talking. "Warren, listen to me and let go," Ruby began talking again. The whole keeping Warren calm thing wasn't seeming to work to well, but she continued trying. She stole a glance at Acione while talking and then looked back to what she was doing and at Warren. "Warren, if he doesn't do this the pain will just get worse and you will die, let him work." A silent prayer in her head and then some more, "Warren, tell me about you, just talk about whatever. Tell me about how and where you grew up and the good times and whatever else you feel." Ruby was trying to keep his mind from Acione, and she could only hope it was working.

((rambling I know))

Acoine didn't hear anything and didn't take notice of anything that was happening. He knew that if he didn't do this now Warren would die. He slightly remembered how Warren used to talk about some one he thought was a brother named Saint while in the army. "Warren talk about you brother Saint. How's he doing?" He knew that if there was no noise Warren could be dead. 'Just stay with me.' Acoine thought. He worked semming to move his hands faster than time itself. Time seemed to slow to him as he tried his hardest to save his friend. From all this he started to tear up and cry without noise.

"It's ok, It's ok." Ruby said, trying to be comforting, trying to ignore the pain in her hand. Her other hand was free, however, and she stroked Warren's hair, he sounded like a child. Anything to keep him calm, she thought to herself. Taking another glance at Acione, she said nothing but looked back at Warren, she saw the glistening tears on Acione's cheek. This must be tough on him, she thought. "Who is Saint, Warren?" Ruby asked.

"OWWww.." Saint faded out and he passed out with aid form the drugs. They were both scared, and now, the one who they think to be the enemy, knows their secret.

[[I hate morphine it used to make me itch when it wore off]]

"Thanks for your help Ruby." Acoine said as he stood up. "That's as much as I can do for him. We have to leave cuz the enemy will come back for all of us."

Even though he was bloody he hugged her tightly. "I don't know."

Jessica was glad for the distraction. Someone had handed her a Bible; she held it in her hands and watched the scene from the corner. No, she wasn't saved. Guess I'm going to hell, she remarked grimly to herself.

That could change..., the small voice said again.

Maybe I don't want it to change, she argued, refusing to look at the Bible in her hands.

Are you sure?

She closed her eyes. She could deny it all she wanted, but she knew without a doubt in her heart that this was true. Now was the time; she had to make a decision.

"No Azalia. They'll be back for us all, and Warren is close to and I can't help him anymore than I have. We need to leave now. But where?"
