Sorry! I have been SO monsterously busy! So, I'll write now!
Dehlia ~
Time seemed to stop. I felt a mixture of absolute terror, and anger, after what had happened to Elexhiia. My whole body was rigid, and my feet were rooted to the floor. How did we get into this? Please let Dora be all right! What'll we do now? These thoughts swirled through my head as we stood in silence. The boy stood there, evaluating us. He frowned slightly. "Where's the fourth?" he asked, his question directed at the girl who'd helped bring us here, Liz. "Ran off," she answered, her voice haughty. "But we got these three, so I didn't see any bother in going off after her." "Where are the time tears?" he asked, this time directed at me. I scowled and didn't answer. "Search them," he ordered. They did, but found nothing. I couldn't help but smirk slightly, and think on Dora's brilliance. "That girl that 'ran off' has the time tears, and you let her get away!" He shouted at Liz and the other two. "Well, Max, what did you expect?" Liz retorted. So his name is Max, I thought. "We were trying to bring four of 'em in!" Max started pacing the room. His look was dark, and grim. I was more afraid then ever, for both us and Dora. Please get away Dora!

So, I figured we should know his name by now, since it's kinda odd calling him "the boy". And what happens next? AND I STILL WELCOME L, SC, and QUINTUS TO WRITE!!!! S, True?

Dynamite!

TOP! Topomania! Topomatic! Like True said, dynamite!
Oh, True! This is aside from this thread! I need your help. Theo and I are sponsoring CB World Domination! Join us, for Red already has Blue, Ruby, and possibly Gollum (though she hasn't answered yet). And likely many many more. So we need as many people as we can get! Please?! TOP! With this thread, TOP!

I've posted, but I'm not sure. I'll think about it.
I can't really do anything until one of you escapes.If we can get L or Quintus here, then we can have someone inside and outside…. say, where is L?I haven't seen her around lately.
Anyway, who should escape?You,Errol,or Fleix?
~Dora~
I spent the next day carefully patrolling the house of doom that I had escaped from.But no one came out, and no one went in.

I've been wondering where L was too. She was in my cabin during Nano, and was busy writing her novel. But I haven't heard from her since. I'm not sure. And I haven't the least idea where Quintus or SC are. They've both disappeared as well. I fear it's just you and me left. I'm thinking we'll wait a bit, I'll write from our captive view, but if they don't come back, I'll have Dehlia escape, and leave Errol and Felix there. We'll continue the adventure from there, but still leave room for them to come back. Thoughts? I'm going to add drama as well. I don't want it to get boring. 😉 Oh, and I won't be upset which ever side you choose for the war, so don't feel pressured. We're simply doing it for fun!

I felt myself shaking mildly. Fear clenched me. Suddenly, a man walked in. He was different than the rest, and was evidently in charge, for everyone got quiet when he entered. He stood by Max, and looked us up and down. "Take those two," he gestured at Felix and Errol, "to a secure room. But leave her." I was shaking harder. He was evidently from the future, like Errol. Everyone but he and Max left the room. He walked by me, and asked simply, "Where are the tears?" "I don't know," I said, my voice shaking. He smirked, and touched my arm lightly. Hardly anything, but it was enough. I screamed in pain and crumpled to the floor. It was excuciating, and unlike anything I had ever felt before. It felt like a fire, creeping through my body. My vision blurred, and was tinged with red. I was aware of what this man could do, and now, I didn't try hide my fear now.
**********************************************************************
So dramatic, yes. But it needed some umph! So, I simply wrote what came to mind. If you like, you can write something dramatic for Dora as well. Top dear thread! Top!

I know, but I hope that Blue knows that. I'm teaming up with her for a collaborative writing, so…
But, good job with the writing! I do hope that L, SC, and Fliex will come back soon. Oh, and Tovah L.! Remember she said that she didn't want her character to die after all, and got us started on the time tears idea?
~Dora~
I was sleeping at the shelter and eating stale bread now, wishing for Aunt Clara nowadays.
The next day, on my way to the building, I saw the girl, Liz, at a hot dog stand. She was talking loudly to the hot dog man. I got closer to hear her words.
"Are you sure you haven't seen her? I last saw her running away from me. Oh, my poor sister!" she cried.
Running away from her? She must be talking about me! My heart thumped loudly, as I inched my way away from the stand.
But the hot dog man caught sight of me. As he made the gesture, Liz turned to look. Her eyes lit up. "Thanks mister!" I heard her call, but I didn't see her. I had already turned away and started running.
Through alleys and streets I ran, in front of honking cars and bumping into people.
Soon, I was pretty sure that I had lost her, but something was still wrong. I was lost in the city.

Sorry! I have been RIDICULOUSLY busy!
Dehlia ~
I awoke in dark, dusted-covered room. Drab curtains covered a dirt smeared window. I was lying on a tarp-covered sofa. Other various articles of furniture were pushed against the wall. Little light came through the window, and the only other light source was the crack beneath the door. I tried opening it, but it was locked, as I had expected. I went over to the window. A tree grew close beside, otherwise, the area was deserted. I tried pulling up the window. It was rusted shut. I looked around for something to pry it open with. Finally, after some pulling, and a great deal of temptation to use some of the words I'd heard the local boys use, I managed to pull down the metal rod holding up the curtains. I pushed it into the small crack under the window, and heaved. At first, nothing happened, but slowly, surely, the window began to inch up. I gave one, final, desperate push, and the window shot up. I stood still a moment, listening… Nothing. Gingerly, I swung one leg out the window. Then, leaning my body weight onto the window sill, I lifted my other leg out, and slowly lowered myself, till I was dangling. Letting go with one hand, I reached out to a nearby branch. Grasping it, I let go of the sill, swinging over to the branch. After that, it was merely a matter of climbing down. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I bolted. My first and foremost priority was getting away from there. Second, I had to find Dora.
**********************************************************************
So, I have freed Dehlia! Still leaving room for Felix and Errol to return.

Ergh! I refuse to let this thread die! TOP! L, Quintus, SC, come back!

Do you think that we should god-mod their charries? They haven't posted in awhile…
-
I suppose so. We'll leave room for them to come back if they want.

~Dora~
I wandered around the giant city for hours before I got the nerve to ask for directions. It was dark by the time that I got near my home of crates. I passed the alley where Deliha and the others were. I longed to save them, but I wasn't that foolish as to try it now.
Suddenly, I was grabbed from behind, a pair of arms flung around my neck, almost smothering me.
"Here you are!" someone exclaimed, shouting it into my ear. "I thought I'd never find you!"
I shrieked, and kicked. I won't let them capture me, too! I thought. "Get away from me!" I screamed. "You won't take me! You won't!"
"Dora!" the voice cried, and the arms let go. "Dora! It's me! Dehlia!"
I whirled around, gaspig for breath, and in surprise. "Dehlia? Oh, I'm so glad it's you! Where are Fliex and Errol? What happened to you in there? Did they want the time tears?"
"I'll tell you everything soon," Dehlia said, "but I must get away from there first. Where have you been staying?"
I led Dehlia to my little crate house, and gave her a stale piece of bread to knaw on as she told me everything.
"… I had to leave the other two with those horrible people so that I could escape and help them somehow," Dehlia finished with an apologetic sigh.
"I'm glad that I took these from Errol," I said, fingering the small bottle of time tears. "Were they mad that I escaped?"
Dehlia nodded. "Very. Oh! Dora, I forgot to tell you, but the boy was there, too! He and Liz seemed to be the leaders there."
"Liz! Oh, Dehlia, Liz is trying to find me!" I exclaimed, and over another slice of the stale bread, I told her what had happened.
"So what do we do know?" I asked after I had given Dehlia a detailed description of the event of the day.
"Go to sleep," she answered, lying down. "I'm tired. We'll think of something tomorrow."
-
So, before I write, I had a thought. Since we're kinda at a wall, and since everyone else has pretty much left, maybe we could throw a twist in there. What if we used the time tears to now go to the future to retrieve more? Then our captors could follow us? And what if the future is far more different than we thought? It could be like anything we imagine. From dark and dangerous, to bright and cheerful! It would leave us a lot of room to do whatever. Thoughts?

Great! And maybe we could meet Elixa again, too!
