Rikki noticed Angel had started crying. "Angel, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry." she truly was sorry. She put a hand on Angel's shoulder. "I really am sorry Angel. I shouldn't have been discussing all of this with you. I just. . . I'm confused. I want to know why he left. And the only way to figure that out is to see him face to face, just the two of us. But I have a feeling if we run into him, that he'll fight us. And I don't want that." she shook her head.

"But do remind me, the next time I do see him, I wanna punch him. I don't care if I do love him, he deserves it." she said, crossing her arms.
 
"I-it's alright Rikki. I don't mind answering your questions, no matter what they may be.", Angel said, wiping her eyes. "And I will make sure to remind you to punch him" Angel got up, holding her hand out for Rikki. She needed some serious vacation time after this, to decompress and un-wind after all this stress.
 
Rikki accepted her hand and smiled. "Thanks."

She looked around the bathroom and wiped the remainder of her tears away. She looked at Angel. "I-" she stopped herself. She didn't think she could say it, but she needed to, just once, just to know. "I-" she stopped again and cursed under her breath. It couldn't be that hard to say.

Taking in a deep breath, she closed her eyes. "I love Alex." she opened her eyes and put her hand to her mouth. She actually said it, out loud. She felt her eyes watering up again, and this time, they didn't wait for her to notice, they just started spilling out.

"Oh, oh, oh no. Angel, don't, don't let me say that again. Oh, Oh hell. Don't let me. . don't let me say. . okay?" she tried to speak through her tears and panic attacking, but she wasn't sure how that was working. Her chest had tightened when she said it, and she didn't like it.
 
"Rikki?? Are you alright??", Angel asked worriedly. Rikki looked like she was going to have a heartattack. Angel could feel her panic plain as day. "Ok,ok I won't let you say it again, I promise", she said hurriedly. She picked Rikki up easily and walked very fast to the couch and set her down. She went and got a blanket and a pillow and got Rikki situated. Angel's eyes were wide and pale. She sat on the floor next to Rikki and waited for her to do something. *Almighty please let her be ok*, Angel prayed silently.
 
Silver had fallen asleep, but woke up sensing the stress, and he listened to Angel and Rikkilyn talk. Rikkilyn admitted to loving Alex, out loud. Silver knew it, but he didn't expect her to actually say it. She was blanketed on the couch, and Angel sat in front of her. Silver looked. He could smell their anxhiety and fear, their pain and panic. He padded up to Rikkilyn and climbed onto her lap, and curled up. He always knew that animals helped people. That just being there helped. Animals know people, sometimes more than those people know themselves.

Rikkilyn...?

He spoke to her with his mind.

It would be best if you don't think about him for now... It will only hurt worse...

He entered her mind. He didn't like to pry, but needed to help her. He pushed the thoughts of Alex farther to her subconscious, and let happier thoughts to her head. Like of this small family, that cares about her. He placed one thought. That her and him have gone through much of the same problems. Made fun of for being hybrid, for being not one hundred percent of one kingdom. Silver wanted to make the pain of Alex disappear comepletely, but wouldn't, because sooner or later, they may meet again...

Rikkilyn, do you know what I think...? I think... Alex loves you too... The only thing that stands between the two of you... Is Adamanta, his evil blade. He listens to it. I bet if he didn't have a corrupted blade, he would not have left... I never understood him, and I always hated him, the way he acts, but... I think the blade has been corrupting him... If we win, he will have no reason to do anything but come back to you...

Silver yawned because he was still sleepy. He took angel-form and sat beside Rikkilyn. She hadn't been mad at him, despite the fact that he has been calling her 'Rikkilyn' the entire time. Maybe she understood what it meant... Silver sat at her side, and hugged her, not letting go.

You have a family now, remember that... Us...
 
Angel had been off in her own little world, so blinking and seeing a white wolf jumping onto the couch behind you was a bit un-expected. Angel tensed, then after 10 seconds realized it was just Silver. Angel let out a long, deep sigh of relief. Now that Silver was here she probably could have gone back and slept next to Gold, but she stayed right where she was. She was very protective of Rikki now, and not about to leave her side so easily. She leaned against the couch and fell asleep.

~~~Dream~~~

Angel and Gold were playing, having a great time, simply enjoying themselves. Then a dark shadow appeared, and she saw a sword. Then she saw her parents step in front of them, and she saw her mother and father killed all over again. "MOMMA!!!! NO!!!", she screamed. She saw the blade fall again, only this time on something more precious to her. She saw Gold's eyes go wide in shock and blood come out of his mouth. She held him, begging for him to hang on, then she felt him die in her arms. "GOLD NO!!!!", she cried. She started shaking. She looked up at the figure, her eyes were pure black. She laid Gold down and sprang at the murderer, her clothes ripping as she shape-shifted into a black panther. She rammed into him, and roared in furious protest. Then she went for his throat....

~~~End of Dream~~~

Angel woke up, screaming, or rather roaring. She had actually shape-shifted during her dream and never shifted back. She was trembling, the force of the nightmare was unreal. She looked at Silver, her eyes were clear as colorless diamonds. She was panting, hard. Pink tears fell into a little puddle on the carpet.

Gold watched the talking, the panic, everything. He saw Angel start to drift off. He sat down and wrapped his arms around her. Then for some odd reason, she shifted into a panther. She jolted awake. Gold, now a golden fox, prodded his nose into her side, clearly worried now.

"Something wrong, yogurt girl?"

He asked, hoping it might cheer her up from whatever she was dreaming about.
 
(OOC: Sorry for being gone so long guys! I crashed a few hours ago. I guess I should quit staying up all night :) )

Rikki smiled a little when Silver hugged her. She really was becoming too soft since she left home, and quite honestly, she was fine with it. She hugged him back, forcing her tears off.

"You don't have to be so nice to met ya know." she whispered.

She heard the comment about Alex and winced a little. She'd talk to him at some point or another. And when she did, he was gonna listen to her, if she had to pin him to the ground.

"You're the closest thing to a family I've had. For a while, it was just Alex, Angel, me and Trainer. So. . . Thank you." she said the end quietly.

She heard Angel scream. Shh, its okay Ang. Just breathe, okay? We're all right here.
 
Alex opened his eyes. He had dosed off, but was woken up by a voice in his head. He didn't want to address it, so he tried putting out of his mind. A minute later, another voice tried to enter his head. He shook his head, trying to get them out of his mind. He had dwelled here too long. He had to begin searching for the heir. Alex decided to use the phone he received from Rikki and call Trainer for any information he had on the heir.

Alex rang him. "Trainer, it's Alex. I regret to inform you that I alone have taken the mission of finding the heir. I could sure use any additional info you find, and any you have right now."

Alex awaited a response, contemplating his next course of action, unwilling to think about the events that unfolded earlier.
 
Angel shifted back to angel-form and hugged Gold. "Oh my god your ok! Thank god your ok! Oh god....", she trailed off, her words became unrecognizable and her eyes were still clear as colorless diamonds. She was shuddering from the force of her tears and her nightmare. She put her hand on Gold's head and 'showed' only him just what her nightmare had been about.

Silver smiled as he hugged her back. He was glad she was starting to feel better. He spoke quietly, soft. She told him he didn't have to be nice to her.

"I want to be nice... Plus you really need it right now..."

He brushed the hair out of her eyes caringly.

"We should all get some rest... Then in the morning we can all get a big breakfast somewhere... The way a family should..."

He smiled at her.

"Oh yeah, you don't seem to have a problem when I call you Rikkilyn... Is something wrong?"

He tilted his head at her.

(You should time-lapse to the morning, my new PC sister :D )
 
Rikki smirked. "I'm letting it slide cuz I'm upset." she pushed his shoulder. "Do it tomorrow and I'll kick your ass!"

Rikki pulled her knees up, laying her head on them. She was tired now. Extremely so actually, and she was ready to sleep. So she closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

__________________________________

"Hello Alex. And, why may I ask are you alone? Where has Rikki gone? She seemed fine when I spoke to her yesterday, a bit angry but fine." Trainer asked.

(Okay SuperV, your turn!)

*Morning* (Time Skip!)

Rikki opened her eyes when she felt the sun streaming through the window. She'd finally gotten to sleep, but she couldn't remember her dream at all, if she had one. She sighed and stood up, walking over to the window. She sat down on the floor and watched the curtain flow up and down. Sighing, she fell back and stared at the ceiling.

(Yeah, I time skipped! Cuz it actually is morning, so yeah, deal with it)
 
Alex was reluctant to respond. He knew the Trainer liked Rikki very much. He was always fair to them, but Alex just knew Trainer liked Rikki most. It was strange to say the least, but he didn't mind. Alex sighed.

"She's joined with Angel and their new rebellion team. Their temporary goal seems to be like ours, to get the heir, but for a much different purpose. I ask that you, for now at least, block all contact with her. I am in control of the mission now. And I won't fail...given the right resources."

Alex waited for a response, perhaps some new clue as to where the heir might be or who they might be.
 
Silver yawned and awoke, only minutes after Rikkilyn. He smiled as he remembered her threat from last night, and he smiled with a hint of mischeif, happy and almost looking playful.

"Good morning, Rikkilyn!"

He smiled and laughed. Before she could 'kick his ass' or do anything, he caught her in a tight hug, restraining her from retalliating. He smiled joyously, giggling. They were just like brother and sister, the kind that would bicker and bug each other but never hate. He smiled at her and let go.

"Please don't kick my ass Rikkilyn..."

He smirked, using her name yet again, and laughed.

"I don't care what you do, I'm always gonna call you Rikkilyn..."

He smiled, his expression so happy and carefree he looked innocent, like a child.

~~~~~

Gold yawned and woke up.

"So what breakfast place are we going to eat at, anyways?"

Trainer nodded. "I figured something like that happened. But I wish she would just listen to her father's message. She is a stubborn child, and that in the long run is what is going to put her in the most danger." Trainer said, shaking his head. "If it is what is best for the two of you, then I shall not communicate with her for the time being, but mind you Alexander, I am keeping an eye on you all, if I find there is a moment where I must interfere, I will not hesitate to remind either of you where you come from."

"Now, I informed Rikki with a piece of information, nothing all too helpful, but what I was able to gather at the moment. The heir's age is of an older teen, sixteen to nineteen. I'm still narrowing it down. Also, due to a human friend I have in the human world, I was able to get a hold of the child's DNA. I do not know how they obtained it, and I did not ask. But I was observing the human half of the DNA, and I discovered something odd, and this is where Rikki's father's message comes into play. The human DNA belongs to a human who I do not know very well, who Rikki does not know very well, but her father did know quite well. In fact, if he hadn't known this woman, then Rikki would cease to exist." Trainer stopped speaking for a moment, "Are you following me so far?

__________________________________

(Rikki)

Rikki growled a little at the use of the name. She had a feeling that she'd be letting Silver get away with it a lot. Which was quite odd for her, because the only person she ever let get away with it was Alex. She stiffened a little at the thought. At the moment, it didn't hurt. She wasn't crying. Of course, she was upset, but when Silver was it her, it made it hurt a lot less.

So she gave him a little smile, rolling her eyes. "Gosh, Silver." she muttered, then hugged him. "Thanks" she said, looking back up at the ceiling.

She heard Gold say something, but didn't respond. She wasn't really hungry, not that she'd actually eaten much of anything since she got to this world. She sighed, sitting up properly.
 
((Damn people, this was just mean, now I had to read all that DX. I'm just gonna say that Raike trailed Alex, unbeknown to him.))

-Raike stood in the shadows, attempting to listen to the conversation now going on between this so called "Trainer" and Alex. The scene on the roof had become too emotional for him, so he had left. Only a few minutes later had he seen Alex flying away, and so he decided to follow. On the way he had "borrowed" a black jacket and dark blue jeans from a clothes store, but he didn't really intend to return them. Trainer was talking about something in reference to finding the so called heir to the Darkness Kingdom, so Raike had decided to stay. Everything had happened too fast, first he was in that three person group, but now apparently, they were all rebels, and now Alex was the only one intent on completing their mission. Raike sighed silently , but still listened quietly.-
 
Alex listened quietly. He understood that the trainer would interfere if things get out of hand.

Let's hope it doesn't get to that, Alex thought. Alex was trying to piece together what Trainer meant he then believed he understood.

"Then, the human is Rikki's...?" His voice trailed off. He then tried to keep his composure. He felt something to the side, but ignored it for now. He continued. "...I understand. I will look for this woman and bring her in. I'll keep you posted."

Alex hung up, and turned to the noise from before. "I know you're there, human. What do you want?" He was surprised Raike followed him, assuming he lost track of all of them.
 
"Yeah I have a name, but I prefer you don't use it."

-Raike wasn't too surprised that Alex had seen him, after what all the others had done, Raike supposed Alex had some sort of angel sense or something. He still didn't step into the light, but kept his position, thinking a bit before speaking.-

"I wouldn't be jumping to conclusions if I were you. From what I heard, is Rikki's father hadn't met that woman, then Rikki wouldn't exist, but that doesn't exactly eliminate the possibility of Rikki having a brother or sister. And then apparently, they weren't born with wings or whatever. Fact remains that I have this information, so you should probably capture me or something."

-Raike face-palmed himself directly after saying what he had said. Tell the person who can slice you into pieces with his sword that he should capture or kill you, very smart Raike. He began to run over various endings to this encounter before deciding that he should probably run. He wasn't exactly sure where to, but that really didn't matter at the moment. Raike hopped on his feet a bit, and limbered up quickly, before taking in a big breath of air and took off, bursting out into the street and away from that area.-
 
Silver smiled as she hugged him back. She didn't even seem angry. He looked at her, his head slightly tilted to the side with curiosity.

"You are not angry... Is something the matter...?"

He looked a little worried, because he knew the name usually set off her temper. She was not screaming at him or kicking his ass for it. But she didn't really seem sad anymore... Happy...? He was really confused now. He knew her pretty well, when they've only been in the same room about twenty-four hours now. They became attached quickly. He thought of her as his sister, as very close family. He did want her happy, but she seemed likethe angry type. He shrugged.

Everyone's capable of change...

With that he jumped startledly.

"Everyone's capable of change..."

He repeated his thought aloud.

"Rikkilyn can change to a happier person... Alex can change back to good... Even Trainer could help us if we convinced him that we were fighting for the better cause!! We have all changed... Changed like the colors of our wings..."

Silver smiled now. Anything seemed possible. He turned to Rikkilyn with an excited, determined look.

"Do you think Trainer can be convinced to side with us if he knew what we fight for?"

He was completely serious. Whereas before his hope had died, now it was arising once again, like a pheonix from the ashes.
