Skye Prower

"I am wondering why a soldier wishes to know," said the figure. "I'm not a soldier," Ziona replied. "And yet... you are here to protect those weaker than you," the figure replied. ---------- "Just gimme a sec... I think I remember some tricks from Ziona," said Zoe as she began fiddling with the lock. ------------ "Please don't hide away Dylan," said Skye.

"Ahh, fair enough," nodded Melody. ------------ "Who was that strange man....? I have an uncle...? why did you chase him off...?" muttered Miles before turning over again.

"You don't have to, but otherwise you'll miss out," said Melody. ------------ Miles kept tossing and turning, but thankfully didn't fall out of bed. "Mom? I think Dad was looking for you...." he muttered to himself.

Melody giggled. "This'll be great, thanks. Oh, and you might want some recording equipment too, so you can watch." ------------- Miles kept turning as he was picked up, but didn't wake.

"Hmm, maybe some red paint as well for glowing blood stains... oh, and do you have any sound throwing equipment to create spooky noises?" asked Melody ---------- Miles keep turning, knocking into the coffee table a few times, but not hard enough to hurt

"Yes, I want to know about you," said Ziona. "About me? Why would that be of interest to you?" asked the figure. ---------- "Yep, we won't be disturbed," said Zoe. She walked over to a sealed cabinet and looked at the lock. "They weapons are in there..." ------- "IF YOU KEEP HIDING AWAY FROM EVERYONE, THAT MIGHT HAPPEN!" called Skye, then regretted it. ---------- "If I think of anything too I'll let you know," said Melody ---------- Miles kept twitching and rolling around the floor, but still wasn't waking.

"Indeed. I hope she was not hoping for another boon from me," said the figure, followed by a raspy chuckle. ------------ "Yep!" said Zoe opening to door to the room. "We have the place to ourselves." ----------- "Wait... Dylan... do you... think he's REPLACING you?" ------------ "Hmm, any suggestions?" asked Melody --------- Miles, someone, was still sleeping.

"Hello. I was not expecting you to follow me," said the figure as he fully formed. "And... who have you brought with you?" ----------- "Yep, there was one closer than I thought," said Zoe. ---------- Skye was silent for a moment. "Everyone here is your friend too Dylan." --------- "Don't worry, it'll be our little secret," said Melody with a wink. ---------- Miles began turning in his sleep, ending up rolling off the couch.

Aww, that means I've lost! *slinks off*

"Looks like a good guess," said Ziona as the sand began to form a figure. ----------- "We're here!" called Zoe as she reached a door. ---------- "Because... he'll want to be with his friends," said Skye. ---------- "Yep. There's quite a few things I'm sure I can do with it!"

Melody took the beaker carefully. "Even if it doesn't I'll have fun playing with it."

Melody smiles. "Just pop a lid on it then I'll grab a paint brush when I'm back in Haven."

"Great. Thanks Hope!" grinned Melody. ----------- "Well, there's always the direct approach," said Ziona as the sand seemed to whip around them ----------- Zoe started jogging down the stairs ----------- "Perhaps it should be worth checking he has somewhere before throwing him out into the cold."

"Yeah. Any sign of your friend around?" asked Ziona. ----------- "Got it Sarah? Okay, let's go," said Zoe. ---------- "Where else can he go?" asked Skye.

The trio arrived in a field of sand blasted ruins. "Cheerful place." ---------- "Not far at all. We're here, and it's there," said Zoe, pointing at the map. ---------- "And... he is a reminder of that, but... you shouldn't hold it against him." ---------- "Hmm, got any silver or white. That's the most ghost like!" ----------- Miles stirred a little in his sleep.

Heehee, p-present! NMS?

Stacey stood next to Ziona. "Here we go," said Ziona as she teleported the group. ------------ Zoe went out and studied a nearby map. ------------- "I... I didn't mean.... Dylan... I know you have issues with transformations.... but..."

"Heehee, this should be fun!" grinned Melody. ---------- Miles sat back on the couch, thinking. And a few moments later, sleeping.

"That's good. More than makes up for the disappointment of not pranking someone.... Unless I take some home with me and spook my brother...." ------------ Miles smiled.

"Right, we'll need to make sure all the lights are off then... hmm, is there anyone around here you don't like and wanna prank?" asked Melody with a grin. -------------- "Yeah... It seems so long ago, but it's only been a few days," said Miles.

"Great! Hmm, does it glow in light as well, or only when it's dark?" asked Melody. ---------- "I'll try not to," said Miles with a yawn. "I guess.... I still haven't caught up with sleep since this whole thing started."

"I'll need you to mix up some more of that stuff for me then," said Melody. ------------ "But... but... it's not even six!" said Miles, stifling another yawn.

"Agreed. You boys stand close and I'll teleport us there," said Ziona. ---------- "Follow me," said Zoe, heading out. ----------- "Then you're gonna have a miserable life."

"Uh... nope," Stacey replied. --------- "There's training rooms a few levels down. I think they have weapons there too," said Zoe. ---------- "Then I guess it's something you'll need to learn to live with," said Skye. -------- "Yeah... I could get lots of the stuff and go as a glowing ghost!" said Melody. ---------- "I'm.. not tired," said Miles, trying to hide a yawn. "It's too early to be sleepy/"

Melody laughed. "Maybe for halloween!" ----------- "Worth thinking about," said Miles, a little sleepily.
