The big city.

Blake smiled at her. "I'm so sorry." He whispbered over and over.

~~
Aline frowned, she didn't know the name.

"And did he love her, or did he always love you?"

Ivy laughed slightly.

"He hated his wife," She said simply.
~~~~~
In Ava's mind, she was back, living her life again, the worst moments over and over again.

Blake laguhed slightly. "I know you'll be mad at me, but I can't resit." he said before softly kissing her lips. He still kissed her gemtly, with a trace a fear still there.

~~
"Oh." Aline said. "I wonder why." She asked her self.

~~
Darren, held Joanna's wrist. "Play with me!" Through she looked 13 or 14, and was far older then that, she was still child like. This might have something to do with her blindness, she never really was able to grow up because everyone pitied her. Her time was kinda like Jade's in that way. They pited the imperfect and kept them hidden away, to hide their shame. Growing up she was not allowed out of the house which they lived.

Joanna laughed.

"What do you want to play?" She asked her sister.
~~~~
Lenora was watching James and Aice now, smiling.
~~~~
Ivy glared at her.
~~~
Ava was pulled out of the darkness by the touch of something on her lips. Her eyes snapped open, and it took her a moment to realize it was Blake who was kissing her. She remembered all that had happened, and was relieved to finally be awake. She realized he still had his lips on hers, and used her small amount of energy to kiss him gently back, happy to be awake. She could still sense his fear, and smiled slightly.

She looked thoughtful. "Hide and seek wouldn't be fair." She looked at her sister through she couldn't see her. "I donno! You Pick!"

~~
Aline glared back.

~~
A tear had fallen on Ava's cheek, he was so scared she wouldn't wake.

He pulled back laguhing, when he felt her kiss him back. It wasn't his normal laguh, it was diffent somehow.

~~
Jade yawned as she wacthed Raven and Sable.

"I hope you're not laughing at me," Ava said, teasing him though her voice was hoarse and choked.
~~~~~~
"I don't know!" Joanna laughed. "Where's Zane?? Maybe he'll know."
~~~~
Sable smiled at Jade, as Raven kept talking.
~~~~
Ivy didn't break the glare.

Bailey ran over to the ferris wheel and walked people get off and on, but didn't see Alice or James yet.

~~~~~~~~~

Layla was following behind them, but was invisible to James and visible to Alice for now.

Alice was looking around again and saw Layla following them and tensed up slightly but then relaxed again.

James kept walking, holding her hand.

~~
Walter laguhed and followed Bailey.

~~
Blake laguhed again. "No, never." He said moveing some of her hair off her forehead.

"Would you like a drink?"

~~
Jade didn;t seeit, she was too bust tring to keep her eyes open.

~~
Darren waved her hand in front of her eyes. "I donno, I can't even see my own hand!"

Joanna laughed.

"Right," she said. Then she had an idea. "Let's play Marco Polo!"
~~~~~~
"Tired?" Sable asked Jade, smiling slightly at her again.
~~~~
Ava just nodded.

"Yes, please," She said quietly.

Darren laguhed. "I'm Marco?" Right?"

~~
Jade only nodded.

~~
Blake walked down stairs and got her a glass of water.

Alice looked forward and tried to ignore her.

Layla walked up next to Alice. "I see you are together again...", she said, making her voice only hearable to Alice, and saw tehm holding hands.

Alice didn't say anything and just looked forward.

~~~~~~

Bailey still didn't see James and Alice get off and looked at Walter. "I don't think they're on here anymore", she said.

"Right!!" Joanna said, and took off running. She didn't need to tell her to close her eyes.
~~~~~~
"Let's go home, then," Sable said quietly.
~~~~~~
As soon as Blake was gone, Ava closed her eyes. When she opened them, Nick was there. She was too weak to fight, so she opened her mouth to call for help when he placed a finger over his lips.

"Quiet," He said. "You're going to do what I say," he said. Ava rolled her eyes.

"I'm so sure..." She mumbled.

"You will, or else," he said. Ava almost laughed.

"Or else what?" She asked instead.

"Or else I'll put your precious Blake into a sleep that no one can wake him from, not even me," he said. This made her small chuckle stop.

"What do you want?" She whispered instead. Nick smiled.

"I think you know...." He said, taking her hand. She glared at him, and pulled out of his grasp.

"No," She said.

"Really?" He asked. She paused. Nick saw this, and continued. "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told him before. Tell him you hate him. You never want to see him again. Then," He smiled at her, strangely. "Then come meet me by your old school. I'll be waiting for you there. Be there by tomorrow night, or your time, or rather /his/ time, is up."

Ava had tears in her eyes. One slipped down her cheek, and he caught it.

"Don't tell him I was here, or else I /will/ do what I said," He said simply. "And make your departure a good one. I'll be watching. I love you, Ava."

Then he left. Ava was dumbfounded.

Blake walked back into the room, carring a glass of water. He smiled softly at her. He cared about her more then anything, one could see it in his eyes. "How are you?" He asked haneding her the water.

~~
"Marco." Darren called happily.

~~
"Is something wrong?" James asked happily.

~~
Walter frowned. "Nor do I."

~~
Jade nooded and took his other hand. She leaned her head against his. "I'll tech you how to fly. . . Tomorrow." She whispbered.

Alice looked at James and shook her head smiling slightly. "No, nothing's wrong", she said.

Bailey looked around wondering where they had went.

Layla smirked and went invisible to Alice agian.

Penny had gotten away from Adrian and was running around messing with people a little ways infront of Alice and James and they were visible to everyone.

Ava smiled at him. It was obvious in her eyes that she cared for him, too.

"Better, now," She said quietly. She took a small sip of the glass of water, dreading what was to come.
~~~~~
"Polo!" Joanna called, from somewhere to her right.
~~~~
Sable laughed and nodded. He picked her up, and disappeared back to James' house. Raven looked at Dust once he was gone.
~~~~~
Lenora smiled softly as she watched James. Then she looked at Lance, remembering that she had promised to watch him for Blake. She wondered if he had been able to help Ava. She hoped so.

Darren went to her right. "Marco!"

~~
He sat next to her, "Thats good." He said. He was still blaming himself for what had happened.

~~
Dust looked back at her. "Let me geuss, you don't want to leave?"

~~
Jade smiled at him. "Thank you, again." She said.

~~
Lance was laguhing, Iran glareing at him, she had tripped and fell. He helped her up, and she hit him playfully on the arm, and used one of her insults.

~~
James looked Alice. "So how have you been?' He asked.

"No!" Raven laughed, and started dragging him off to another ride.
~~~~~~
Sable smiled. "No problem," he said, carrying her up the stairs.
~~~~~
Lenora laughed slightly as she watched Iran and Lance.
~~~~~
Joanna moved back.

"Polo!"
~~~~~~
"It's not your fault," Ava said, as if to reassure him of his unspoken thoughts. She decided now, that she would leave tomorrow evening. She couldn't bear to do it now. Not after all that had happened.

"I've been fine", she said. "How about you?" she asked.

Penny was still running around and saw Alice and ran towards her.

Layla was visible to James agian and ran infront of them and grabbed Penny before she could mess with James or Alice. "no", she said and dragged her away.

Adrian followed.

"I been better." He said ingoreing Layla.

~~
Dust sighed, and followed.

~~
Jade smiled. She liked being in his arms. "Where have you been staying?"

~~
Darren was laguhing as she followed her sisters voice. "Marco!"

~~
Blake sighed. "It is."

Raven proceeded to drag Dust on more rides.
~~~~~~
"Here and there," Sable said. "Heaven, the park, anywhere we can," He said, and opened the door to Kate's old room and carreid her in.
~~~~~~~
"It's not," Ava insisted. "If anyone's, it's mine."
~~~~~~
"Polo!" Joanna called, running again. Her almost constant laughter gave away her position, however.

Dust sighed. He didmn't like rides much.

~~
"Oh." Jade said. "Do you like it in heaven?" She asked. "My favorite place to be alone is the crow tree." She knew he mostly likely wouldn;t know what the crow tree was, and it mmight confuse him, consdiering there was no crows in heaven, unless on the crow tree.

~~
Darren laguhed and threw her arms around her sister the first chance she got.

~~
Blake looked at her. "It's not." Blake sighed. "Just promise you'll be careful. Don't do anything that you will regart."

"It's nice, I guess," Sable said. "I just always preferred it here." He set her down on the bed carefully, standing next to the bed. "What's the crow tree?" he asked, slightly confused.
~~~~~~
Joanna laughed and hugged her back.

"Okay, you win," she said, still laughing slightly.
~~~~~
Ava winced. Something she would regret. Like leaving. But what choice did she honestly have? She couldn't stay and let him get hurt. But would leaving hurt him more?

"I won't," She whispered, staring down at the bed. She was unaware that she had begun to cry again.

"It's a big dead tree near the center of heaven, yes in a place ful of so many liveing plats there is one dead tree. On it's brances sit crows. When an Angel falls a crow flies in heaven and lands on that tree, and never leaves it again, unless, but unlikely to happen, an fallen repents and becomes an angel again, the a crow's feathers will trun white, and it will become a dove, and fly away." Jade said. "I like sitting ther because it's quiet, and one day I would like to see a crow trun in to a dove."

~~
Darren laguhed. Maybe it was her inocentence that made peoples eyes draw to her. Maybe it was something else.

~~
Blake touched her cheek. "Av? Whats wrong?"

~~
Mason suddenly sat up, he was sweating. He was brunning up, but it really wasn't that hot.

"It sounds nice," Sable said quietly. "You should show me sometime."
~~~~~~
"Nothing," Ava said, holding back the tears and smiling sadly at him. "Everything's fine."
~~~~~
Joanna was still laughing and hugging her.
~~~~~
Ashlyn woke up a few minutes later, and saw Mason sititng up.

"You awake?" She asked with a small yawn.

"Uh-huh." Mason said.

He had long hair, altrough it made him look like a girl from behind, He brushed it over his shoulder to get it of the back of his nec. How did he get hot so fast? He went to take off his jacket. He stopped. He had tons of scars, from his fathers beatings, form fights, and IVs. Lots form IVs. He was wearing a T-shrit underneath. Did he really want her to see all those.

~~
Jade smiled "Sure."

~~
Blake frowned. "Okay." He said softly, not believeing her.

~~
Zane walked into the room.

Darren was still laguhing.
