Jason stopped in his tracks. He gazed at her warily. Her sobs faded, and she spoke again, her speech unhindered. "Who says it isn't my fault? I don't know what to do, Nyura. I don't know what to do." Jason gulped and grimaced as Amber straightened up. "Who's that?" She hastily wiped her eyes turned around to face a lone rowan, and the sound of receding footsteps. ---- Amber let her will to hold her form recede and she transformed. She sniffed the air slightly and she instantly knew who had been there. "Of course," she mumbled. "It was him, just coming to tell me how stupid I was for ever thinking he loved me." She rubbed her eyes and stood up. It was getting quite dark and she ought to go home. She released Velocity and petted her solemnly. "Let's go home, girl," she whispered. She started to walk back. ---- It had been going on for a while, and it wasn't stopping. Amber's heart was beating more and more furiously as the night wore on. Not only was she lost, someone was following. She turned back. Her yellow eyes gleamed in the darkness as the moon caught their reflection. Her sight permeated the forest's darkness and she saw someone crouched there. "I'll fight you," she said loudly. The person obviously understood. They stood up and walked over. Velocity snarled and spit a bout of fire towards them, lighting up their face. The man smiled in an eerie way. He had black spiked hair with red bangs that hung over his eyes. One eye was red, and another was silver. He wore a black jacket and pants, and a japanese symbol was spread on his back. "Hello, Amber." She didn't recognize him. She stepped back. Velocity leaped forward and the man clouted her on the head. She lay senseless. "Will you come willingly or will I make you?" he asked coldly. Amber stepped back, holding her claws in defensive stance. "Stop right there or I'll tear your arm off!" she shouted desperately. "I don't doubt you could." Suddenly he raced forward. He gave two sharp punches to her solar plexus and an uppercut to her jaw. She fell to the ground gasping, trying to get up but finding herself unable. He yanked her up by her arm and slung her over his shoulder. She was still sweating and shuddering, trying to shake off the feeling that her insides would never work again, when they went they left any familiar surroundings. Who was he? Was she going to die? She hoped not. TBC Oh and Marco said Jason is not yet ready to make up with Amber. ^_^ He forgot to post that at the end of his last post.
