Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amber contemplated this for a moment. "My house is too small for you guys to stay without being noticed, and my mom would not be happy having two guests. But, there's a barn about 3 acres away from our house. You guys could stay up in the loft, you'd just have to be very quiet in case my dad hears you when he goes to check on our horses."
Violet tugged on her arm, "You're not seriously going to help him are you?" She glared at the boy, then smiled because she knew he didn't know about her past.
"I am, and don't let him get to you, he doesn't have any idea about what happened that night. I swear if you do to him what you did to that other guy...."
"I won't, I won't! But you can't offer to help him for free!"
"Why not? He's not going to turn us in to the cops!"
"Why do you have to be so reasonable?" Violet grumbled, letting go of Amber's arm.
"Because I know when to be hard and when to be easy. This is easy time."
"He's still not such a big deal, I mean I could-"
"You will do no such thing."
Amber turned back to the boy, "What's your name? And who is this person that we're 'rescuing'?"

"I'm Amber and this is Violet. There's really no need to-"
"She would love for you to return the favor!" Violet cut in. Amber just rolled her eyes.
"Show us this girl, if we're going to get her out of here we better do it fast. We could get caught at any moment," she paused and looked at the boy, "Flynn," she finished after a minute.

"She isn't normally bitchy, I just called her chicken so that she wouldn't be afraid of her own shadow. Once someone calls her chicken she gets super cocky," Amber laughed, following Flynn into the room while Violet stayed behind and kept watch.
She scowled, but pretended as if she hadn't heard Amber at all.
Amber gasped when she saw the girl. She was beautiful and radiant, glowing like a- like a lightbulb! As Flynn removed the straps, Amber crept over to the girl's other side.
"Wow, you're beautiful," she whispered in awe.



Sidera stared blankly at the two people. She could easily understand what they were saying, she was a master of every tongue, but she did not know how to speak them as the stars only sung in their own language. Not the language of others.
The boy finished undoing her straps and she tried to get up but she found her new body to have gone completely limp.
"S- Sid- Sidera. B- Bl-Bla- Black- Hole," she managed to say, playing with the sounds on her tongue.



Amber's eyes went wide when the girl spoke. "Sidera. Black Hole," she translated. The girl nodded. "Sidera is latin for space, like outer space! Are you trying to warn us of a black hole?" she asked. The girl nodded and shook her head at the same time. This wasn't going to be easy...

Violet heard footsteps on the porch above them and the sound of a door opening and closing. She raced into the room as swiftly and as silently as she could.
"Guys, some one is upstairs and they might come down, so if I were you I'd speed it up so we can get the hell out of here!" she announced panically. Then she gasped at the sight of the glowing girl, "How is she-? Who is she-? Why is she glowing??"
Amber put a finger to her lips, "Vi, be quiet, the person might hear us. Flynn said something about a tunnel that will get us out of here. I think this girl is too numb from the straps holding her down though. Can you help us get her there?"
Violet nodded, too freaked out to even complain about Flynn. Amber nodded to the boy, "Kay, lift her on three. One, two, three-"

"Yeah... sure," Amber grunted. "Vi, take... the girl... and help me get her to the exit," she gasped at once, breathing heavily. Violet simply nodded and took Flynn's place at the girl's side, helping lift her.
"Kay... go," Violet said. "And, I'm sorry for being a b***h. It's great of you to help us get out," she finished in between breaths. She couldn't talk anymore though. The girls hiked their way to the door.


When Sidera was lifted, she felt fear grow inside of her. What were they doing? Where were they taking her. But the boy's voice echoed through her head again, reminding her she was in safe hand, and that calmed her down a bit. At one point though she freaked out again and she tried wiggling around, but of course she was still numb so nothing happened. "Name.... Sidera," she managed to say, though it took a lot of time and effort.


Amber smiled, "Sidera is your name, huh? That's a very beautiful name." The girl merely nodded and squeezed her eyes shut. She opened them again and seemed disappointed that nothing had changed.

Amber, Violet, and Sidera emerged from the tunnel into a small clearing surrounded by trees.
"What the-?" Violet yawned, but Amber just smiled.
"It's okay! I know where we are, We're behind my house, only 5 minutes away from the barn! C'mon, let's go drop her off," she said excitedly. She was just happy to be out of that creepy house.
The two girl hustled over to the barn. They set Sidera down on the ground while they picked the lock on the barn door. Then, they lifted her once more and carried her inside to the base of the ladder which led up to the loft.
"Can you climb?" Amber asked, her voice barely a whisper. The girl stared at her blankly. "Guess not," Amber grumbled in reply.
"Hmm, how are we going to do this?" Violet raised her hand to her chin in a philosophizing pose.
"Let's just try getting her to use her hands a little, like this." Amber demonstrated her idea by lifting Sidera onto the first step of the ladder and moving her hands so that they held onto the sides. Then she helped her level by level, climbing up the ladder behind her.
Once they reached the loft, both of them were exhausted. "B- black hole," Sidera stuttered, trying to crawl towards the back of the loft.
"Yeah, yeah, black hole. Just stick near the back of this loft and hide in the hay, okay? Violet and I will bring you food tomorrow."
With that Amber turned and leaped off of the loft, using one of the low pillars as a sort of bar to ease her landing.
"Goodness Amber, you need to stop doing that, you scare me half to death every time!" Violet shrieked, quiet enough so that no noise escaped the door of the barn.
"You know I'd never get hurt doing it, maybe a splinter from the pillar at the very least, but nothing more. I took gymnastics for 5 years!"
"Still, it's scary," Violet muttered.

When the cat leaped from the rafters and spoke to them, Violet nearly fainted. She was back to her 'scared-of-her-own-shadow' state of mind. "Amber! D-did that cat just talk?!"
Amber couldn't reply, her eyes were fixated on the cat. All she did was nod. "You're a talking cat. And you want to tell us about a hiding place... Where is it? And why should we trust you? How can you talk? What's your name? What are you doing in my family's barn?" The questions flooded out involuntarily.
"Y-yeah, how can you possibly talk? Cat's can't talk, that's impossible! We must be going insane Amber! At least we're doing it together!" Violet began muttering to herself, shaking in her custom designed Fengolie black boots.
