Holly kept following the man till she could move anymore. Holly looked around her but Rafe was the only person she could see "Raphael? Raphael? RAPHAEL???" Holly started to scream but then relized he was unconcoiuse. Holly looked around her slowly drifting in and out of darkness till she collapsed onto the floor landing with a hard thud.

The dreaded sound of the heavy door being pushed by the guests made Chay speed up his pace. A wide turn had led to the view of an excruciatingly long staircase, where mother resided, Chay heard several thuds - a wave of relief.

He started dashing up the steps, nearly tripping a few times - nervous that the sleeping powder might not take effect. "Mother!" He called out, once atop the staircase and too far from the unfortunate guests.

Holly woke up and wondered where she was. "What the heck is going on?" She said outloud. Raphael was still next to her but Chay was no were in sight. "WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Holly screached. She hoped someone else was awake or Chay would hear her.

Rafe rolled over and covered his ears from Holly's shrieks. "Calm down!" He yelled.
He took a moment to recollect because he didnt know where he was at first. Rafeal brushed his long silver hair from his eyes and mumbled. "Bastard."
It had came back to him, where and why he was there. Chay was probably long gone or hiding by now. He looked at Holly. "Are you okay?" He rested his hand on her arm comfortingly.

"NO I'M NOT!" Holly yelled at Raphael. "I dont want to be here right now!" Holly said. Then added quietly, "I'm scared." She looked at Raphael trying to think of something to say. She wanted to change the subject but nothing came to mind. "Are you scared?" She asked. Holly looked for any others around them while she waited for his answer. She looked back at Raphael taking a deep breath trying not to freak out, again.

Rafael looked away. He couldnt say that he was a bit worried about their well being in the near future, but fear wasnt one of those things he let into his mind. "No. Ive seen things alot worse than this... We will be alright though, Holly. I promise."
With that he got up and went to go check on the others.

Holly held her breath and pulled her knees up to her chest. She really wanted to believe they would all be ok. Yet some part of her said they wouldn't. Holly took a deep breath in and out. She wouldn't die. She would be ok. Raphael promised, "Promise" She wispered outloud. She wanted to reassure herself, it wasn't helping. "CHAY GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Holly screamed as loud as she could. She decided being angery was better then being scared.




{ok is it raphael or rafael?}

A good period of time had passed; Chay had ran up&down the rickety stairs - complied with both his mother and father's orders and was rather tired. Whenever a situation like this arose, the preparation was hell. The sleeping powder managed to knock off several hours - chay busily worked near the center of the town.

The shrilling voice of a youngster pierced through the elderly woman's ears. Her wrinkled forehead crunched up more crevices and the blank expression had been twisted into a frown. She disliked noisy girls.

She stood and seemed to have perfect control of her stance, this was surprising considering her old age. Her frigid had grasped onto a wooden cane, it's aged appearance and smooth marble handle induced greater poise to the seemingly sophisticated woman.
"I'm going down." Her voice, gruff and in command was spat out the the inanimate body of an even elder man.


((the parents' profiles will be posted soon.))

'Ms. Calum Adelaide Narelle, what have you gotten yourself into now? You've escaped after graduation from the university now you are wondering amoungst the trees.' the young woman of nineteen pondered. She had long left the commonly beaten path to take to nature. Calum was wondering along when she approached on a village. The village appeared dreary, but still she felt the urge to enter it. Softly she tread on the dirt path threw the village. It was silent and dreary as she walked. As she walked she saw in the near distance a large mansion. The beautiful structure caught her eye as she felt the need to go into the house.

Lightly she walked the path up to the door and lightly placed her hand against it. She heard voices inside, but could not make out what was going on. "Hello?" Calum Adelaide she stated softly. The crimson hooded girl pressed more weight against the door and to feel it open. With out her commanding her body she stepped inside to feel the door slam behind her. 'Oh dear, what did I get myself into now?' Calum went to the door and tried to pull it open with no success. 'What am I to do now?' She quietly stood at the door in silence comtemplating what to do now.

Rafe turned around after a noise caught his ear. It sounded like someone was opening the front door. He looked at Holly "You stay here. Im gonna go see if that is Chay." With that, he started to sprint down the hall, which was a very easy task for him since his body has slim and fit like a dancers body. He rounded a corner and skidded into the front hall of the mansion.
Rafe stop dead when he saw a young woman in a red cloak standing there. She turned towards him and he smiled softly. "Oh, well, hello there. I thought you were someone else. Im Raphael."


(oops, I had intended it to be spelt Raphael, but somewhere in there started mixing it up with Rafael because his nickname is Rafe. Sorry =/)

Calum turned quickly to her right to see the young man sprinting down the hall. The girl took a step back as he approached. "Oh hello, I'm Calum. Do you perhaps live here? I was curious as to why the door will no longer open," she stated eloquently. Gently she drew back her hood feeling as though she would be staying here quite awhile.

Raphael was taken about when Calum pushed her hood back. She had stunning greens eyes that reminded him of his little sister's. This woman was quiet beautiful indeed, but he put that past him and looked to the door.
"No, I do not live here. The man that invited us in dissapeared, this may not be a very safe place for you, miss.."

Calum smilied lightly at Raphael. He was quite hansome and seemed very nice. Softly she sighed and ran a hand through her sienna brown hair. "Oh I understand, but as it seems the door will not budge. I think I am stuck here," she replied gently. "Do you think you could fill me in a little bit about what's going on? Since I will most likely be stuck along with you, Raphael.."

Holly looked through the doorway to see raphael and another girl standing at the doorway. Holly could hear her speaking. "WE'RE STUCK HERE!" Holly said angerly. She was so going to kill Chay. "I hate this place." She muttered.

Calum was taken aback by the girl's sudden screaming.
'How rude of her... there was no need to express that to me in such manner. Raphael already stated that as well,' she thought.
"I have come to that understanding as well. You see, I entered and the door was locked behind me. With no chance of me opening it," Calum adressed the girls outburst lightly. "My name is Calum. It's best we know eachother's names since we will be together quite awhile."
'To my misfortune if this girl always acts like this.'

Rafe sighed when Holly came stomping in having a fit.
So much for a good first impression.. He thought.
From the look on Calum's face, you could tell she wasnt keen of Holly's disposition either.
"I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you, Calum. We also have others in our group as well. There is a little girl and another man, they are stuck here as well." He turned, gesturing for them to find a better place to talk over how to find Chay.

Calum covered up a chuckle seeing that Raphael was not pleased with the young woman either. She followed quickly beside him as he turned to find somewhere more comfortable for them to talk. "It's quite alright, Raphael. It's not as though this is your fault. I wondered into this house and entered of curiosity now I am stuck as well... Quite a few people stuck here. I wonder why?" Calum stated softly. She stayed close to Raphael's side feeling that this man was very trustworthy.

Holly stayed behind Calum and raphael. She was muttering under her breath. "Chay said his parents want something from us." Holly said trying her best to hide her temper. She was very bad at first impressions. "I'm Holly. Sorry about my temper it happens alot, I think i might be bipoler."

{Thats not spelled right is it? sorry I cant spell XP}

Calum looked back at the girl and smilied softly. "It's quite alright, Holly, I understand. My eldest brother had a temper as well. And I believe you just said Chay's parents want something from us... would Chay be the owner of this house?" she asked lightly. Still she stuck by Raphael and followed his lead.

"Ummmm...I dont really remeber. I don't know. I think its his parents but I'm not sure," Holly said looking around her. She wondered were jezzabel and remi were. She had stopped walking and quickly moved to catch up with Calum and Raphael. "You don't smoke do you?" Holly asked the girl remebering what she had done to Raphael cigerett they had just walked by.

"Well I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later," Calum replied softly. Then she was puzzled at the question if she smoked or not. "No I personally don't. But it doesn't really bother me. If you need to, feel free to go ahead." Everyone at the University smoked. A student got used to it within the first of classes. Calum just assumed it was an adult thing that she would never get into. They continued along following Raphael.

Rafe stayed silent as Calum and Holly talked about Chay. It irritated him that he was tricked by that bastard. He didnt like the man in the first place, he should have stuck to his instincts.
His mind averted when Holly mentioned smoking and that familiar twinge in his lungs became noticeable after that. He hadnt thought about it awhile since he was busy thinking about what they were going to do.
Damn, I could really use a cigarette right now. I wonder if I could find a place to smoke real quick... His hand unconsciously moved to his back pocket to make sure his pack was still there.

Calum looked over to Raphael and saw him touch his pocket. Lightly she reached a hand out and touched his hand that was resting on his pocket. "I am guessing that she asked me because you smoke? If you need to go ahead. As I understand the addiction makes it difficult to go for periods of time with out one," she stated gently. Then noticing her hand was still on his she pulled it away. A light blush colored her cheeks. "Did this Chay character run away?" she questioned trying to draw attention away from her embarassment.

Rafe smiled when Calum touched his hand. She was very kind hearted, which was nice to see in a situation such as this. Calum blushed when she noticed her hand still resting on his.
How cute~
"Thank you, but Ill wait till Im out of the presence of ladies. I know that it bothers Holly." He took her hand and squeezed it lightly in reassurance, and moved to look down another hallway. "As for Chay..." his tone darkened a bit. "He managed to drug us awhile back. I assume that we were out for a few hours before I woke up to Holly.. He was long gone. I dont even know if he is still in the house."

"Yes he did. Hes a coward." Holly said to Calum. Then she said to Rafe "I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU THINK ABOUT SMOKING!" Holly wasn't about to stand here and let this kid kill himself. She wasn't happy about anyone smoking whoever came up with is wasn't very bright. Holly was even more worried about him burning down the house which they had no way to get out of.

{ok really if we post at the same time again I'll scream}
