We'll see what the others want. I already have 4 characters and can't handle more. Otherwise it'll just be me talking to myself all the time and someone might see fit to get me admitted. We need everyone.

~Return of the Elements~

Aye. If we can get them in the same room enough that they get a first impression that would work. Only other option that I could think of is a time skip forward to them finding out about the whole reincarnation ordeal.

Thoughts anyone?

New World Order [Flamelord and xRobynx]

Bleh, I don't like nuts either.

Anyway. I really have no points I need to hit till the next day, so the rest of the day is up to you. Sorry I stole the wheel for a bit, but now you're literally driving the rp. ( see that? I made a cheesy funny XP )

( Forgive me. Work has been slow all week and I'm going crazy bored.)

"About a year."

She sighed at his response. She wanted to turn and look at the trees fly by but turned back to him as he spoke his real name, Daniel Saddler.

"Pleasure to meet you."

She reached for the outstretched hand and shook it. It was sweaty, but it wasn't a bother. She'd grown used to sweat.

"Alexis Fletcher, friends usually just call me Alex." His manners were quite admirable all things considered, "Likewise," she said with a faint smile, "wish it was under better circumstances."

She tried to manage a titter but it would prove elusive. She sighed as she looked back out at the window. Long days of hard work were nothing new to her, but she felt exhausted. She looked back over her shoulder at Daniel. He didn't look any better. They'd have to stop somewhere to rest before too long, maybe even take turns.

She looked back out the window at the landscape as they passed by, but her mind was far off the scenery. Was this her life now? Would she, or could she, run forever? What about Papa? He couldn't manage the herd by himself, not yet. What about Chance? They'll be so worried. What would they be told when she didn't come home?

She felt a flurry of emotions swell inside her and she just wanted to lash out. If Chelsea had never dragged her to that damn circus, if she never went into that damn magic show, if Daniel hadn't performed... Chelsea, Daniel either one she just wanted to lash out. Many venomous words came to mind. Yet, deep inside, she knew it wasn't their fault. Chelsea never knew, and Daniel... in retrospect, tried to keep her out of things.

Regardless, it was too late now, no matter who's fault it was or wasn't.

"I'm sorry," she finally said breaking a long silence, "I should've taken the hints to leave mysteries be. I just-" she sighed, "it was just so amazing to see someone that could do those things too, for real."

New World Order [Flamelord and xRobynx]

Indeed it does! Brownie points for you! ^-^ I love that song.

New World Order [Flamelord and xRobynx]

Brownie points if you know that song without looking it up.

Alex watched as Winchester hovered his hand over the ignition. Suddenly the engine sputtered to life and the radio began playing her favorite country station. She needed to learn these tricks. She could feel her spirits lift at the sound. She jumped in the passenger seat and nodded at him. He started to drive. As he moved she looked back around at the parking lot, and the collection of tents. She saw no one official.

"I think we're clear," she said as she began to relax and sink into the seat with a heavy sigh.

~ ~ ~

For a few miles she still remained vigilant on the watch but didn't see anything suspicious. Either they had shaken their pursuers, or they were being followed more covertly. She prayed for the prior. A couple more tense miles would pass before she was satisfied they were safe, for the moment anyways.

Her hair, once neatly combed and straight was now more like a frazzled orange mess against the seat, but she didn't care now. She rested her head on the back of the seat and looked it over to look at him as he drove.

"How long have they been after you?" she asked, her voice now much calmer, signs of fatigue beginning to arise. She feared the answer she might hear.

"Is Gabriel even your real name?"

She sighed and looked back at the road ahead the sound of one of her favorite songs softly playing from the radio.

...lay me down in a bed of roses,
Sink me in the river, at dawn,
Send me away with the words of a love song,
Oh oh...oh oh...

New World Order [Flamelord and xRobynx]

He closed the gap between them with great haste and pulled her arm.

"Changes of plans, you're coming with me."

She wasn't sure if it was the wisest to follow him or not. Yet, the alternative were suited agents who wanted her for God-only-knows-what and one in particular that is not going to be particularly happy when he wakes up. She wasn't prepared to face that. She'd take her chances with Winchester.

He led her down towards the parking lot, taking the long way of course, when he spoke. "Can we take your car?"

She nodded as she began to quickly lead him to her truck. She suddenly stopped, instinctively reaching for her keys. "Damn," she cursed, "They have all my things."

She looked at him and then at her truck. "You said you can hotwire?"

With a heave she opened the driver's door. The old hinges protested loudly. "Go ahead, hotwire it!" she pressed, as she kept her eyes peeled for anyone looking for them.

The old man paced for several moments before beginning to shift through the contents of her purse again. Alex watched silently as her mind reeled on her options. He pulled out her driver's license and snapped a photo. She watched intently at his actions.

“What am I to you?” she finally asked as he slipped her ID back into her purse.

“You may not know us, and that is all well as far as I'm concerned. It is not our jobs to entertain your curiosity only to bring you into custody.”

“Oh what charges?!” she spat, a bit more bold now that she was one on one.

“On public endangerment,” he said as he then began to browse through her phone.

“Thats ridiculous! I ain't ever hurt anyone!”

“Yet,” he replied not bothering to look up.

“Since when was that how it worked?!”

“You would be wise to keep your mouth shut,” he snapped motioning to a pistol on his hip.

The pistol, however, did not appear to be a normal one. No. She's been around guns long enough to realize it was a dart gun. “You want us alive?”

“Well of course,” he replied as if the answer was obvious, “that would be preferable.”

Alexis tried to focus. She knew she had similar powers but nowhere the control her carnie counterpart possessed. Small flames began sprang from her hands starting to weaken her plastic bindings.

“For what purpose?” she asked, trying to keep him talking and distracted.

“Thats above my paygrade,” he said satisfied with his search of the phone.

The flames occasionally licked the skin on her arms causing her to wince. It would defiantly leave a small burn, but comparatively, it didn't matter. The bindings gave way with a soft snap.

Without wasting a second she grabbed the nearest object, a cheap folding chair and swung it at her captor striking him only partially unaware. It was enough. She struck him again, this time in the head, enough to stun him only for a second. Thats all she'd need. She reached for the gun at his hip and ripped it from the holster. It was indeed a dart gun. She fired the dart into his side and he slumped over.

Taking a second to catch her breath she took in what she had done. Never had she outburst like that before. As it sunk in it started to scare her that she was even capable of such a thing, but, it was him or her. She darted from the tent into the middle of the road and looked around. Where to go? What to do? They surely knew where she lived by now, so that didn't seem like a wise choice. Maybe her truck was still free? What about Chelsea? No, she couldn't know of this. She whirled around to the sun of someone approaching.

“Winchester...”

New World Order [Flamelord and xRobynx]

"This Chelsea is the friend you came with no doubt, correct?"

She didn't answer.

The older man grunted and began to pace before suddenly stopping and motioned back to the cellphone.
"Send her a text message. Ask her if she knows where the magician is," he paused before quickly adding, "and do it like the young kids do it now-a-days. Make it convincing."

The other began to type a message and hit send.

~ ~ ~

Chelsea paced nervously as the magician approached and commented on her state.

"Something is wrong! Alex is gone!" she paced animatedly. "She was waiting for me and when I came outside she was gone." Her words were quick between quick breathes and darting eyes. "She said something about having to leave and was really anxious about something."

She huffed, as her cellphone dinged, a text message.

got ur voice. Have u seen Gabriel Winchester around?

Confusion replaced worry on her face as she looked at the message. "That's strange." She looked up at the magician. "She's asking about you." Something didn't feel right about the whole situation and Chelsea even began to suspect the man standing before her.

"What did you two talk about? Why would she be asking about you?"

She gave him an estranged look as she readied to pull out something from her purse on a moment's notice. With one hand she typed back.

yea he's with me

~ ~ ~

The older man nodded slowly after being read the reply.
"Check that voicemail. It should have the location. Then find him. I'll watch this one."

Alex shifted uneasily running options through her head. She didn't have as well control as Mr Winchester did, but she knew she could manage to get out of her binds. The question was, What would she do after? What was the next step? Run? Run where? What would she tell Chelsea? Mama? Papa? Could she go back? Did they already know where she lived?
She watched as the other two left the room leaving her and the old man alone. She took a deep breath.
