Round robin!
Sam's feet felt heavier and heavier as they pounded against the ground. She wished she could just stop and take a rest, but that wasn't going to happen, she might lose her life if she did. A little voice in her head was calling, stop, stop, you have to stop. Atleast climb a tree or something, goblins hate tree's. but there were no tree's around.
It was holloween night and she was running away from a goblin. Her sister had dared her to knock on the door of the haunted house on their street, and look were it got her, running down an alley with a goblin at her heels. STOP. And thats what she did, she stopped, she had almost run into a dead end in the alley.
"Got ya, you little brat." the goblin grabbed the back of her neck and positioned her head so she could see his cold, black beady eyes. The goblin's breath smelled like rotten fish. It burned up her nose and into her lungs, then everything went black.

((Yes, control freaks are awesome!
To make it a bit less confusing, we'll say that Jessica (8) and Ellie (6) were just sent to live with relatives for a "vacation" because Mureta and Erik dudn't want them hurt. Since Erik hasn't really made an appearance yet, he's on a "business trip"- i.e., a secret mission for the Wave.
Although Emma, you did say that Alyssa was in hiding with her dad- isn't her dad Balin, and isn't he dead?
Also, the secret agents of the Wave wose names I remember are:
Dixon- the guy in the forest who helped S/A.
Kilhelm- the guy that Mureta contacted via mirror. Married to Bestella.
Bestella- um, Kilhelm's wife and that's about it so far.))

Admin, I just wanted to say that, if you get a chance, you should read the Round Robin thread created Meadow on the Inkwell!!! It is sooooo good so far!! It's about.......well, it's hard to explain becuase there's so much and it's really complicated, but it is really good!!!
Thanks, Emma. We do read comments before posting them, but it's fun to go read the whole thread at one time rather than in pieces as it comes in.

Oops. That was a mistake. Let's say she is hiding w/ her....umm.....Great-Aunt Laurel??? Laurel could be an agent of The Wave....but never actually featured in the story?
p.s. So, Admin....will you read it?
I'll try, when I get a chance. There are lots of threads here, and lots of comments to post!

(confession time!!)
"I think that dream was a memory you lost......when It happened" said Muretta after Sam explained her dream.
"What are you talking about, Mom? What is It? Why would I have lost a memory? Why do you think it was a memory? I would never have worn that gown!!!" said a very confused Sam.
"Sweetheart" started Muretta, "I think it's time you knew."
"Knew what, Mom?!
"I'm actually not your...Mom"
Sam gasped.
"Your real mother was capured by The Wraith 5 years ago. She is being kept in a prison by Lord Aof. Her name is....Lusmos. She-"
Sam interupted Muretta "Lusmos!!!" That was the person in my dream!! If she's my mom, that means I-I-I'm Ahtnamas?!
"Yes, dear, it does" replied Muretta.
"And that I have a sister named Alyssa! And my father was killed years ago!!!"
"Yes," said Muretta. "His name was Balin. He died in a mysterous fire that killed your granparents. Your full name is Ahtnamas Keeona Lorane Cassandra Loenne. Your mother was a sorceress. You have magical blood flowing through your viens, Sam, or, Ahtnamas, I guess...."
Sam, or Ahtnamas, stared at Muretta. "I-" she started, but stopped as a tired-looking Melonie shuffled into the room. Muretta looked at Muretta and could tell by her eyes that they would have to talk later.
p.s. Go, control freaks!!!

"What were you talking about guys? Did Sammy have bad dweam?" Said Melanie, making fun of Sam.
"Yes, she did have a bad dream Melanie. Now, I think you and Sam should go to bed. And not come out until the sun comes up over the clouds. Everyone, -well, maybe not you, Melanie- has had a sleepless night." Yeah, right. Melanie thought.
"Yes, sir." Sam and Melanie said at the same time. Sam and Melaine walked into their bedroom together. And finnally, Sam and Melanie had five hours of sleep without any dreams or interuptions.

Jessica and Ellie are hiding with their great aunt Laurel? Who is hiding with their great aunt Laurel?
(May 18, 2009 - 10:13 am)
((Um, um... *looks around wildly* The two Inkwell RRs are befuddling me! Sorry, let me check!
Oh, oh, I think it's Alyssa- yes, Alyssa, Ahtnamas' sister (age twelve) is hiding with Gr-Au Lrl. Js and El and visiting relatives.
Also, let's not call Sam Ahtnamas... it's so... stuffy... she should have a nickname... like... Ama. It sounds almost Sam-ish, right?
I just know that any second Lena is going to accuse me of overusage of ellipses... ;)
(May 18, 2009 - 4:10 pm)
Sounds good to me. I like Ama. ;)

After waking up, Melonie "received a phone call" from "a friend" asking if she could "come over" for a "sleepover." ( wow a lot of "........." 's, huh. ). Muretta reluctantly said yes, for she was still shaken from Sam's encounter with the goblin. So, before Sam even woke up, Melonie was gone and on the way to her "friend, Amy,'s house." Meanwhile....
Sam was sleeping. Suddenly, her dreamy peace was shattered as Muretta pounded up the stairs and burst into her room.
"Sam!" she shouted sharply. "Get up! Quick! There's no time to explain! Grab what you need and run! We must hurry! There's a Kii coming!"
"A Kii?" asked Sam
"A horrible monster of death! she explained quickly while stuffing clothes into a bag. "They have the power to suck the souls of people and send them straight t-" Muretta froze as a shattering sound burst from downstairs "It's here!" she exclaimed! "Quickly, Sam! Open your window and imagine a rope ladder!"
Sam, rushed by Muretta, threw open the window and did as she was told. A shimmering rope ladder appeared, but Sam cried out, a piercing shriek. She writhed in pain as the ladder dangled. Muretta grabed Sam and the bags and crawled down the ladder. With every step, Sam was pushed deeper and deeper into an icy black ocean of pain. She twitched spasmodically and passed out. Muretta raced across the green back lawn and over to a small pond. She lept inside, the pond closed over her head and she landed with a bump on a cold floor. She got up and raced into the tunnel that stretched before her. Sam needed help, now!
(May 18, 2009 - 5:46 pm)
Hey, I'm new here! I'm not really sure if I am that good at writing but here goes:
The long tunnel stretched before Muretta, constantly turrning and splitting but Muretta knew her way. She had been here many times before. Sam had passed out in Muretta's strong arms a few minutes ago. That was the side effect of suppressing magic so long. Muretta ran through the last corrider and a shining city opened up before her. This was the heart of the Wave. She pressed her face against same unmoving body and whispered " welcome home Sa-", paused, thought for a moment and finished: "Ama".
When Sam woke up she saw with her blurred vision, a kind face looking down at her. As her vision cleared the face focused and Sam gasped. That face, it was so familiar!

((Yippee, another New Jerseyian! Where's Reuben?
That was really good, Adina- or is it Adin? You posted as both.))
"A kii," Mureta was telling Kilhelm, feeling shaken, while Bestella fussed over the still-unconscious Ama. "A kii, of all things! Really, Kilhelm, do you believe it!"
"I find it incredible that they'd risk sending a kii to your house," Kilhelm replied with his customary calmness. "I mean, a daemoi would be conceivable, and a fixxe or a crink even more likely, but a kii? That's rather... unusual, at best."
"Aof," fumed Mureta. "How'd he find out? It had to be him- no one else could possibly be responsible. Who does he have spying for him, anyhow?"
Kilhelm and Bestella exchanged a look, and Mureta noticed. "What are you not telling me?" she demanded, a bit shrilly. "It's against the Oath to withhold secrets from other Wave members- you know that of all people."
Kilhelm sighed. "You're not going to like this, Mureta."
"Tell me, Kilhelm, or I will report this as an act of disobedience to the Oath."
Kilhelm knew that mild-hearted, easy-going, leveled-headed ((too many hyponated adjectives)) Mureta would never do that- at least not to him or his wife- but he knew that she was right- the time had come, the theories were proven.
"Mureta," he said, "your thirteen-year-old foster daughter Rhiana ((cringe)) has been corrupted by her mother, Leissa. Ever since she was nine years of age she's been secretly working for the Wraith."
(May 19, 2009 - 6:34 pm)
Muretta's eyes gaped out in horror. This could not be. Thats not true. "No. Your lieing. My little mellow Melan would never to that to me." muretta tried to keep out her ragged sobs. But they came.
"Calm down, calm down Merrie." said Kilhelm.
"Why didn't you tell me before? I could have known and and. Done something about it." Muretta said, almost a whisper.
"I don't know." And sudenly, every one was crying. Ama woke up, she had heared all of the sound.
"Wha, what happened. Did the kii get us, mom? Are we in his lair? Are we dead? But there's so much beautiful light. How did I make that rope?"
"Honey, Ama, calm down. The kii did not get us."
"But are we dead?"
Muretta let out a small laugh. "No, we are not dead. We are in the heart of the wave. I-"
"We are! But how did we get here? How did I make the rope? Didn't we jump into the water. it went over my head. We drownd didn't we? Didn't we? Didn't we?"
"you made the rope by magic honey."
"But magic isn't real. Or is it."
"Magic is real. And Ama. we didn't drown."
"Who are they?" Ama gestured to kilhelm and Bestella.
