The Midnight Train to Nowhere

As the boyfriend/girlfriend talk continued, she could see Inadi in her peripheral vision as he slowed down a step to get in line with her own movements. His grin burned at her cheek and she didn't dare look up at him in her tomato-faced state. The pair walked along in silence for the most part until he brought up the topic of the wisps leading them and the stone.

"I hope so. It'd be nice to see something a little less spooky around here," she mumbled in reply as she pictured how the stone might look.

"I dunno what you mean, Jazzie, but Queenie and I are totally besties and she's always been super nice to everyone! Maybe you're thinking too much. It's certainly been tiring for you darlings hasn't it?"

She began to laugh nervously and cringed a little underneath the mermaid's touch, but maybe Martini was right. Biting her bottom lip some more, these sort o thoughts were probably going through her mind since she kept over thinking things. Besides, Queen Delirium had done nothing but throw them parties since they arrived there and Jasper felt guilty for feeling anything else other than thankfulness for her royalty's kindness. Song's mouth had hung agape and she further kept her eyes glued to the dirt path on which they were strolling along. The comment probably offended the guides the most since they actually knew her. Avian's reaction was a bit more supportive as he agreed that her name was a tad odd in itself. Suddenly the two male Nobodies jumped into a silly argument while using the word 'bird' as an insult?

“A-anyway. Her Majesty should have sent professional help to us instead of you guys, to be honest. If you lot participated in the defense back then, all of you would’ve died! Although I have to say, all of you showed great tenacity throughout your mission. It’s inspiring,”

He made a point that she had always wondered about. How come it seemed as if she was purposely setting them up for failure or even death? The quests were near impossible for pros so how come she expected humans to carry them out successfully? And the Queen must have knowledge of the humans that they've already lost, so why isn't she doing anything to prevent it or even apologizing to them for that matter?

When the guides redirected their attention away from her she suddenly felt a warming sensation at her left ear. Eyes widening, she struggled not to freeze up as she continued to walk along side him and he began to speak in a hushed tone.

“Just be careful with who people say you should trust from Nowhere Jasper. I only trust you guys here. Humans trust humans as far as I'm concerned. We don't know these people and what they hide. If you ever feel scared and uncertain of who to come to, I'll be there.”

Turning her head to look at him, she gave him an appreciative smile. At least someone here understood how she was feeling about all of this. And it reassured her that she always had a person to count on and talk to without being judged wrongly. He was right. They had no real idea who these Nowherians were and their true identities. Past batches have passed through their hands and who knows how many of them had died if this is how dangerous the tasks were? For all she knew, there could be some mass human graveyard in Nowhere that they didn't even know about. Jasper couldn't stop herself from shivering a little in fear of the thought that sprung into her mind as she questioned how many humans have already died in Nowhere.

Minutes passed until the group finally came to a stop. The Stone of Sacrifice stood before them surrounded by various rock formations that were crumbled into heaps of sediment whilst some stood strong, almost like they were built to protect the stone in the center. Another abandoned home was planted just a short distance away, but like the mansion, it didn't appear to house any occupants. Everyone ducked low with weapons in hand as they all tried to be as cautious as possible. These witches were powerful, more dangerous than any other monster they've ever faced. Riley whispered something about where the baby dragon could be hidden and she instantly looked back up towards the empty hut. There weren't many places to hide on the barren terrain, but the house further head was an enclosed compartment, possibly able to hide a dragon.

"I'll head for the house over there to check for the little guy since I won't be much help in combat. You guys can keep them busy while I look for the dragon ok?" She placed her role and branched out from the group a little bit to make her way towards the blackened building. The worst thing that could happen is if instead of finding the dragon, she would find the witches. Laying low, she hoped the old hags weren't in there cooking up the poor thing in some giant cauldron.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

The Midnight Man turned towards her, it's tentacles charging at her before Avian called at her to throw the weapon at him, as she brought her arm back to toss it his way, one of the octopus-like limbs thwacked her at the wrist which caused the dagger to go sailing into Harper's hold, but it ultimately ended up where it was supposed to be, with Avian. Watching intently as the dragoon used the sword like a dart, it pierced the black monster in the chest causing it to yowl in pain. Harper took her by the hand and thanked her for her bravery, she ducked with him and ran towards the exit as light came pouring out from the screeching Midnight Man. Inanimate objects began to flail and swerve around the room in no particular pattern. She jumped, skipped, and dove out of the way, but still ended up getting a few minor cuts and bruises along the way. Finally, the bizarre movement ended with the demon's last scream as he withered into black little smudges of smoke-like air.

The door behind her suddenly creaked open and the lights flickered back on. More writing made by the Midnight Man advised them to head out to the library and Jasper was glad all the running was over. Her hands and whole body were trembling and her teeth were clattering though she did not even feel cold. All in all she was in good shape, just terrified out of her wits.

---

As everyone gathered in the library, she assumed that group two had seen the exact same ghostly words since they too arrived at the said destination almost at the same time as her own crew. Avian was doing a check up on the humans and she smiled as he bandaged her cuts up. Jasper knew she could heal it on her own, she was a medic after all, but she had the right upbringing to let to the dragoon continue to tend to them if it kept him at ease. Chatter filled the room it Jasper felt pretty content as well. The danger of a lurking Midnight Man was o longer haunting her thoughts though she was still a little rattled. The mood in the library was definitely lighter than usual and her mates were even joking around a bit.

It wasn't long til a shadow across the room made his presence known and with a short speech, he dissipated into dark wisps once again, but this time the wisps glowed a bright color and seemed to wait for them to follow it out into the forest. The plants and flooring were damp from the rain earlier, but overall wasn't that unpleasant. In fact, the rain seemed to have cleansed the area. Jasper smiled lightly as she breathed a breath of fresh air, exhaling with a happy sigh. Skeletal branches reached out and scratched at her every so often which would cause her to twitch a little, but by now she had seen and experienced worse so it didn't bother her as much as before. Besides, she didn't want to cause another seen of useless worrying for anybody like she had done earlier.

Meanwhile, Riley and Harper were pouring words of encouragement and confidence boosters for the whole of them which made her feel even more determined to finish off the witches and continue on with this journey of theirs. They may be powerful, but she had faith in their group and numbers. There had only been two of them, so they had advantage in terms of people.

Just then, Lesley began talking about significant others waiting back on Earth which caused her to look down. She never really had any sort of romantic relationships so she couldn't quite relate. A sudden pat from Ace caused her jump a little as she looked up at her with alarmed eyes.

"I'm sure Jasper here has one, after all, most of the guys here find her irresistible!" She giggled, only further reminding her and everyone else about the multiple kisses she received. "Don't know how you do it girly, but you're a charmer."

Red hues spread out over her cheeks as she began to shake her head rapidly. "No,no, no. I-i-i d-don't have one... n-n-not that I wa-want one..." she clamped up suddenly and stared at the ground as they kept walking. Those kisses were still a blur to her and she truly she wished that she could forget about them, not that she didn't enjoy herself *cough*.

"I don't mean to offend, but," she lowered her voice, "Who else gets a strange feeling about Queen Delirium? She appears nice and everything, but something about her is just..." she fumbled her shirt, "Not right." she finished while biting her bottom lip nervously in case people didn't agree. Just then a twig poked her rib which caused her to yelp and back into Harper.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Oh yay old peeople! We need dem oldies up in durr to help out dem youngin's :D Short post. Question. Is the sword under the bed "THE SWORD"?

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Clutching the plastic sword tightly in her fist, she backed up against the wall and flinched as the mirror Harper was just looking at with a terrified stare broke and shattered into a zillion sharp pieces. Suddenly glancing around at the bug jars each person held, the critters within didn't seem to be at ease at all. They were fluttering around within their home and constantly colliding themselves with the glass walls encasing them. The floors and walls felt like they were vibrating before finally ending the whole in a destructive explosion of their light source, the glow jars. It was impossible to see a thing. No longer was the room lighted, and she couldn't make out any figures in front of her let alone her own hand which she held near her face in attempt to see.

Looking around panicked, she could here nervous voices at all corners. She could here Leon mumbling not too far from where she was slouching. Harper then advised that everyone leave the room. The atmosphere in there was freezing cold and she could definitely feel the presence of a demon around her, lurking at unseen corners. A flash of lightning lit up the room and she wished it hadn't because right in front of her, she could see a dark demonic figure standing and approaching them. Her eyes had finally adjusted to the darkness and the light from her amulet allowed her to see half a meter away which wasn't much, but a shining glint caught her eye as Leon shouted for someone to dive down and retrieve it from underneath the bed.

Just then, she watched as Harper was struggling against a dark force seemingly dragging him down. She saw the black grasp of something around his leg and she panicked, scampering towards the sword underneath the bed. Diving down, she fumbled a bit until she established a good grip on its base and yanked it out. By now, Harper was suspended in the air, dangling upside down. Grabbing the boy by the arm, she swiped repeatedly at the tentacle that had him in a death grip at the leg. "Let go of him you demon! I have your sword!" she shouted pleadingly as she pulled on her friend. There was no way she was losing another friend, especially one she'd been with since day one.

Eek kitties. Cats hate me. Once I went to this cat sanctuary where you can go in and just pet cats or adopt one. At first they were being nice. This black cat was purring and being cute then out of nowhere it hissed and clawed my arm. Let's just say I never returned to that sanctuary again. I had a cut on my arm D:
