The Unforgiven

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

She feels a little drowsy and returns her eyes to him, glaring again. "No. And if I did need help, I definitely wouldn't take it from the likes of you." She says, hatred in her voice. She didn't know if he would put her to sleep again but she was very conscientious about the possibility. "Darkness imprisons me. You can't do anything about it." Her look of defiance remains like it's set in stone.

[Dr. Strange]

Sam nods, standing. "Uh, okay. I'll see you then." She looked at him for a second then stumbled off, down the hall, and to the door of the room he'd indicated. Using the key, she unlocked the door and collapsed tiredly to the side of the jamb.

[Arke]

He smiles as he turns and starts down the hall, singing something just loud enough for her to hear. "Darkness, imprisoning me, all I see, absolute horror..." His voice fades as he disappears down the hall, cutting through the mess hall and coming to his own room. Opening the door, he finds the girl asleep next to it and lays her in his own cot. With a smile he heads to the radio room, deciding to spend his night monitoring the other Troopers on patrol in South Paradise.

She just shakes her head as he walks away singing the song. He may know the song, but he hasn't experienced its meaning. She thought to herself. She moves to the center of her cell, uses her control of darkness to fill the cell with pitch black fog, lays down on her back, and lets herself fall asleep, blowing short jets of fire out every time she exales.

[Dr. Strange]

She smiled in her sleep briefly at the feeling of arms around her then shivered, curling into a ball. Her eyelids fluttered as a nightmare came and passed.

She took two long pieces of cloth cut in the shape of an over sized person.  Using thick black cord, she sew on two X's for eyes, a series of five X's for a mouth then stuffed a little sand and a charm from her aunt's bag. Sewing up the doll, she hugged it to her chest protectively. "I'll call you Ticktock, my protector. I'll always love you, Ticktock.  You're my best friend." She murmured, hiding the doll in her quill as she put the thread and cloth back then continued on down the trail, looking for an animal that helped her calm down.

The lizard watching her scuttled down the tree and followed, crawling to perch atop a stump a little ahead of her. "Hello Sam. Welcome home." He whispered in her head, smiling his lizard's smile. His pale brown eyes glittered in the sunlight.

"Good afternoon, Pogomani. Have you decided to come home with me for the day?"

Yes, we can leave at sunset. I see you've made another friend. Who is this?" He asked, indicating the rag doll.

"This is Ticktock. Ticktock, meet Pogo." She introduced, hugging the doll tightly. "He's my best friend." She announced, holding out her arm for Pogomani to crawl up and perch at her shoulder.

He nuzzled her neck, wrapping his tail around the other side. "He seems very nice, dear. Do I get to meet your family?"

"I guess. Can I bring Ticktock?"

"Sure sweetie. Let's get going so we're not her at nightfall. Would you be sleeping in the hay again or in the dirt?"

"The dirt. I don't live in the barn anymore. It burned down last week." She nuzzled the lizard back and started to walk back down the trail to a small town resembling Salem. "Welcome to Aelms, Ticktock, Pogomani. I hope you enjoy your stay." She whispered with asmile, hugging the doll closer to herself...

The fires started in the middle of the night. The smell of smoke drifted in and out of the street she was sleeping in, waking Pogo and Ticktock. They struggled to wake her but it was no use, she was in a coma brought on by almost no sleep in a month. She slept through the fires that destroyed Aelms and left the barn she'd called home in ashes. When she did wake up, the only living thing near her was Ticktock. She held him close to her, tears streaming down her face. "I told you Ticktock, I love you and I'll always be hear for you..."

She shivered, hugging an imaginary rag doll to her chest protectively. "My Ticktock...My best friend...my.... forever..." She whispered, straightening up as she began to sleep-walk.

[Arke]

The Trooper sits at a desk, a headset on as he directs a handful of Troopers throughout the city, most actively fighting the Unforgiven. A few even fought gang fighters from the factions who served as the de-facto government. For militia fighters, they wer startlingly well armed, and understandably ferocious. Stones, bullets, Soul and Sin, it was all out war.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

She sleeps peacefully this time in her pitch black fog consumed cell. She was dreaming of a place consumed in fire and darkness at the same time. It was like she was in her own heaven. She likes this place, she would like to stay here, but in the back of her mind she knows that it's all a dream so she knows that it will all vanish at some point. She sings softly in her sleep. "Darkness coats us. The smell of fall. Changing season. The graveyard is alive, black cat across my path, the chill of cold wind, the breath of the dead. Imprisoned souls. Trapped for eternity. Black crows break the silence. The garden of the dead's alive tonight and you can't stop it. Just enjoy it. Open up your mind and you will feel it too. The sound, the touch, the thoughts, that you've been so blind to..."

[Dr. Strange]

She followed some subconscious path to the cafeteria, sat at the table and began munching on the sandwich she'd abandoned earlier. Her eyes were open now but she wasn't seeing the cafeteria, she was seeing nothing. Her thoughts strayed to the Trooper. He was nice, and handsome too...

[XXxMaximuMXXx]

((sorry!))
she stood stranded in what semed like chaos and scratched her left arm whikst deep int htought,she hated loking like a dolt and wondered who were the unforgiven and why was she known as suspicious

[Arke]

The Trooper slaps himself and sprints out to the gate to get the other girl he had found wandering the slums, pulling her inside and leading her to the cafeteria. "Sorry about that, I get kinda forgetful when I'm mad." He scratches the back of his head and hands her a card-key. "This'll let you into my room, the last one at the end of that hall. Hope you don't mind a roommate."

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

After singing a couple songs in her sleep, she fell silent. She was just sleeping soundly now, lying on her back and still blowing short jets of fire out of her nostrils when she exhaled which made a small glow within the pitch black fog in her cell every time she did so, with her dream still running through her head.

[Dr. Strange]

Her head rose and she snapped awake at his voice. "Hello?" She looked around and practically fell out of her chair. "Uh, hi.. I'm Samantha. Who're you?" She asked the girl from earlier.

[Dr. Strange]

'Hello? Can you hear me?" She asked, annoyed as she got up from the floor. "I didn't catch your name." She turned to the Trooper.
