Doesn't it stand to reason that I'm one of "the" Cranes you all are talking about? The first family? What did the Elders call me, the first daughter of Ipswich? Could that truly be me?

going from place to place, library to any old bookstore, trying to find something that would tell me something about me, and my family. Here, the Cranes are a big deal, or they were. My name is Alessandra Crane. That pendant and my name were the only things left with me at the orphanage. >

Finally, he nods, and I feel free to turn my attention to Chase.* There is not a lot I can tell you. I was raised at an orphanage. My parents were killed when I was very young, but I barely remember them let alone what killed them. I left the orphanage at 17, and I've been >

Reid. *I put my hand on his arm, and immediately he looks at me. His eyes are starting to calm down, and he's not trembling in rage anymore.* This is your family; you don't want to hurt them. *He studies me for so long that I begin to wonder what he's thinking. This is draining on everyone. >
September 28, 2024 at 8:15 AM
Chicken soup? I'm not sick, not really. I'm sure it's wonderful, let's face it. I'm not a well-liked person around here. Which is perfectly fine with me, you're safe now, I can leave. A life for a life. The Darkling has to be sure I'm no longer here. Once her knows that, he'll leave you alone.
September 19, 2024 at 1:56 AM
I look next to him* I remember you, you scowl an awful lot and you don't have much confidence in Reid. *Around the room* Seems as though I've argued with a few of you and got disapproving looks from the rest of you. It's definitely time for me to go. *Turns like I'm getting up*
September 19, 2024 at 1:50 AM
*He said, it's like this all the time?* Get out now, save yourself. I have a terrible headache and refuse to open my eyes if it's bright in here. *I hear shades being drawn, gingerly I open my eyelids to be staring right into Reid's eyes* Hello, I know you. *smiling at him then>>
September 19, 2024 at 1:50 AM
*I've been listening to this back and forth conversation for a little while now. I have one thing to say. eyes closed* This has got to be the noisiest place to rest I have ever been in. I bet you people wouldn't let a person die in peace either. *Now the room goes quiet*
September 19, 2024 at 1:44 AM
I'll be right here waiting to kick your ass again if you ever return. *That final growl was enough to shake the windows and rattle the pictures on the wall. One final push and Reid's free. That cocky grin has to be his. When he thanks me, that's the last thing I hear before crumbling in his arms.*
September 19, 2024 at 12:56 AM
*No one said it would be easy. When Reid takes my hand the amount of power that combines is more that I anticipated. I plant my feet and hang on with everything I have. His family added to it where they could. He was coming up out of the darkness and before the Darkling disappears, I smile.* >>
September 19, 2024 at 12:54 AM
<Reid, take my hand! Reach out I swear I'll be there. Push him out at the same time I pull you up. We can do this Reid, together.>* You can't have him, he's mine, Darkling. You can't have me. Be gone and bother me no more! *My eyes turn white, light fills the room as I reach deep for Reid's hand*
September 19, 2024 at 12:45 AM
It's not what I've done, Darkling. It's what you've done. "And that is?" You underestimated me from the beginning. *I reach down deep, deeper than I ever have before. Reid is buried under thick deep, as black as pitch sludge, almost as thick as concrete. His time was running out.* >>
September 19, 2024 at 12:44 AM
You must be truly scared of me. *Telling the Darkling. When I drawn near to where I can feel Reid, 'it' pulls him away.* You keep moving him from me. What's the matter Darkling? I'm just a tiny little girl, with a big mouth, what's there to be afraid of?
September 18, 2024 at 11:36 PM
*I hear Caleb and I understand what it is he's trying to say. The other's shuffle around until they get to where they want to stand, my guess is they've drawn a protective pentagram. A circle of protection. I push further and deeper into the blackness that has hidden Reid.* >
September 18, 2024 at 11:33 PM
his anger that I'm even trying to find him instead of giving in*
September 18, 2024 at 11:18 PM
Darkling's gaze. He may have hidden Reid but that doesn't mean I won't be able to find him* Okay, Darkling. Let's do this! *I move within in, behind the cold dark stare traveling in the dark to find Reid. I hear the snarling and growling of >
September 18, 2024 at 11:18 PM
<Reid can you still hear me? You can't see me right now. You will, just hang on.> *Speaking to the Darkling.* When I find him, not if, you're going to leave me alone. I don't know what your game is or what you want, but I'm done running. *I show him the grin he showed to me* Shall we? *I hold the >
September 18, 2024 at 11:16 PM
*Chase is absolutely right, this is dangerous and could end badly.* Do you have a better idea to get him out? *Reid I know can hear me, and the others I repeat the question.* Any of you have a better idea? *Maybe too shocked to answer or they just plain don't know what to say* >>
September 18, 2024 at 11:14 PM
she's already beat you. What's the matter, do you need glasses? You played cornfield row with her and lost. *He snarls turning it toward Serena. I snap my fingers at him and move in front of her* No, no. You had your chance with her. Now it's my turn. *I show him a slow smile* Let's play.
September 18, 2024 at 11:00 PM
Hmm. You've been peeking at my journal again. How else would you know I like to play games. *<Reid stay calm. Don't provoke the Darkling. He's holding you hostage. You have to stay calm.>* I'm pretty sure you're losing on all fronts. You see, Blondie here is prolific at playing games. >>
September 18, 2024 at 10:59 PM
the one who looks the most startled* You know he's got Reid *I turn around to see Reid's body sitting in the chair but that's not Reid behind the eyes.* You decided to take him hostage because you couldn't get to me? That is such a typical move. If you hurt him, you can't have me.
September 18, 2024 at 9:51 AM
I don't care if you come down with me, just get the hell out of my way. *He moves, I go past him as fast as I dare. My heads still a bit thick but he doesn't need to know that. We make it down the stairs I find the kitchen. Reid's still yelling for help. as I walk in Serena is >>
September 18, 2024 at 9:50 AM
ass like you did me. If you don't move I will fry you!
September 18, 2024 at 9:47 AM
*He doesn't believe me* Let me put it to you this way. When Chase was infected by the darkling, did it give up so easily? Or did you have to kick it's ass a few times before really getting rid of it? *I can see that hit a nerve* Now, move Caleb before I do more than toss your >>
September 18, 2024 at 9:47 AM
*Damn if he's still in my way.* Didn't I tell you to move? Rest then we can see each other? This isn't kindergarten, this is serious. *Shakes my head at him calling the Darkling and Aftermath* Sarah and Serena? I bet Serena's the one who challenged him to come out and play. >>
