Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kia tried to walk as straight as he could. He had a feeling that Altrist wouldn't be one to wobble no matter how injured he was, but Kia couldn't help himself. The world still reeled around him as his head shifted. Apparently, his aversion to wanting to even touch Alice came in handy.

"Yes... take me to Yojan." Kia stated. It was probably very un-Altrist like, but Kia couldn't refer to his own brother as food any more.


Yojan was just crying. He heard voices nearby, and a few footsteps heading his way. If it was anyone else other than his dead brother coming here, Alice said he would be dead. The tears of despair flowed down his face. He was now shivering from the fear as well.

Yojan blushed from where he was, "I told you I had to go pee...." He muttered, feeling ashamed. This was not how he ever envisioned his last few moments alive... actually, he never envisions dieing...


Kia was finally starting to get a grip on what really was the world and the after affects of... whatever Alice did to him. He was a good distance away from Alice, but heard what she said. He didn't head anything else though. "Yojan? You there?" His voice betrayed a tone of concern, but he was getting closer to him. He wanted to say 'hang on buddy, I'm gonna get you out of here;, but he knew that would definitely break his cover.

Kia ran up as Yojan started wailing again in fear. "No!" He grabbed her shoulder forcibly, preventing her from getting any closer to Yojan.


Upon hearing Kia's voice, Yojan started crying even more, but out of joy as much as fear and desperation. Either he heard Kia, or he was going crazy in his last few moments of life. Either way, he didn't care. Kia was here with him... somehow.

Kia was worried he had just blown his cover, but with Yojan so close, he could always reach him fast enough, but now he knew Alice wasn't a normal girl. She was no human.
"I just wanted to... ahhh... get ride of him.. it.... myself..." He wasn't making a good cover here, and he knew it. He just hoped it worked for the moment. He needed to get Yojan out of here, then deal with Alice later, when he has Kalia to fight her. She was stronger than him... well... he still thought that at least.


Yojan couldn't believe what he had heard, but when he brother said that.... he sounded, uncertain? Yojan couldn't help himself now, "Kia... save me... " He was still crying. He was sure he would run out of tears if he kept at this rate...

Kia had effectively prevented the kiss from being on the lips, and turned his head at the last moment so it landed on his cheek. he inwardly cringed at the contact, but couldn't stop it fast enough this time.

He waited for her to leave before leaning over Yojan, "You okay buddy?" He noticed him shaking and crying, and even could smell him. Kia placed a hand on Yojan's shoulder to try and comfort him. "Your not hurt, are you?" He started to untie the roped, but found them to be pulled too tight to be undone by hand, and he couldn't rip them, even if he wanted to try, as it would just hurt Yojan. "I've got to find something sharp to cut this with. I'll be right back, okay?"


Yojan just sat there and nodded at Kia, not knowing if he was hallucinating or not. It wasn't untill Kia's hand touched his shoulder did he realize that this really was Kia. "I... I thought you where... " Tears of relief flowed down his face, as Yojan tried to lean against Kia. "Don't leave me here alone!" He begged Kia.

Kia leaned down to Yojan's level again, instead of walking off. "I have to buddy. I need to cut your ropes off. It will be but a moment, trust me. I'll get you out." Kai flashed a quick smile at Yojan, and then released Yojan's shoulders.

He walked off for but a moment, keeping his ears open incase Alice returned. He found a jagged piece of metal, and returned to Yojan. "Alright, I need you to stay still." He leaned down, and cut his feet free first. "I'm going to get your hands now... " Kia warned before he stared cutting. Yojan's hands where bound rather close together, and Kia ended up cutting Yojan's wrists just a little. "Sorry!" Kia apologized right away.


Yojan stayed where he was, waiting for Kia's return. His ears started to ring as he concentrated so hard to hear anything, or anyone coming. It wasn't long till Kia returned with a sharp, wicked looking jagged piece of metal.

Once his feet was free, Yojan moved them, trying to restore the blood flow to his feet. Then he felt his hands get nicked, "Ow! Watch it!" It wasn't long till Yojan was shakily on his feet, the pins and needles feeling driving through his feet, hands, arms and legs. Everywhere was soar.

Kalia's entire body trembled as she suppressed her instincts to fight back, but this was a human, she just couldn't. She nodded once to signal her understanding.

"You look tired Yojan. Why don't I carry you home?" Kia smiled down at his younger brother, offering his hands to him. Picking the small boy up, he placed him on his back, in a piggyback fashion, having Yojan's legs looped in his arms, and Yojan's arms where around his neck.
"Just relax. I've got you..." Kia could smell the blood from his wrists. It was like a tickle in the back of his throat, a nagging desire again. He thought he had finally gotten over this feeling, but now it was back. He would have to ignore it.



At the same time, Yojan took Kia's offered hands. "Thanks Kia," He muttered, embarrassed as he was getting Kia's shirt wet and filthy. He was also getting the slightest amounts of blood on Kia as well from his wrists, which were raped around Kia's throat, unknowing of the 'danger' from Kia by shoving the blood source so close to his face. he had his head leaning on Kia's broad shoulder, feeling weak and pathetic. "Kia? What's going on?" He was confused as well...



Kia glanced sideways at Yojan's face as he walked, "I don't know myself either, but I do know I'm getting you out of here and back home." He tried to give a smile at Yojan to comfort him, but failed, as he wasn't very happy at the moment. Too many things where going on.

Then he heard it, slightly before Yojan. Foot steps coming into the room they where in the middle of. Someone was entering the big room! It was the only way Kia knew to get out too...
