“Miss…? Are you okay?”

Said a female voice. The noice made Artemisia flinch because of fear as well as anger. She didn't wan't others to see her so weak and helpless. Her anger rose even higher as the woman touched her, this was something she could not stand at all. Only one's who had even touched her were scientists or as they had called "doctors" and every time they had touched her it had caused pain to her.
"No... don't touch me..." She whispered quietly and tried to pull her legs together in order to look smaller.
"Please... I... I don't do anything false... just don't hurt me..." She whispered as few tears appeared into her eyes...

Hunter

"I can't feel my body." The girl admitted.

For just a second, Julius and Hunter looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Maybe she could pick up the girl like the rock, but something told her that would not end well for her. She was already feeling unwell before she lifted the rock, but afterwards it took a lot for her not to pass out. Her thinking on that is the fact that I can't even remember the last time I'd eaten.

"I can pick her up and carry her on my back." Julius offered while looking between the girl and Hunter. Almost like he was wait for one of them to say something.

"If you sure." She stated while looking straight at him. He nodded and keeled down. Walking over to the girl, Hunter helped pick her up and put her on his back. Standing up, he adjusted her. "What's your name?" she asked gently.

"Sam." She murmured.

"Well Sam, if anything starts to hurt, tell us." Hunter instructed her. All she got was a nod in response. Automatically, they started to walk in a random direction. It wasn't long before came upon another person.

"Stay here Julius." Hunter said as she started to walk toward the person, therefore leaving no room for arguing. Plus, he had to stay and protect Sam if he needed to.

Julius/#8

Concerned, he bent down to try to manipulate the girl's joints to make sure that they weren't broken, but he stopped. To be honest, he had no idea if he even knew how to properly do so, and he decided against hurting the girl any further. "Hey, you've been through a lot," he admitted, crossing his arms, "It took me awhile to get back on my feet as well." He began to rock on the balls of his feet until he realized that the girls were looking at him, expectantly. "I can pick her up and carry her on my back," he finally offered, reaching out to the stranger before him. What, am I always this obliging? he asked himself. It was frustrating not knowing anything, and the lightheaded feeling couldn't be for no reason. There was something missing besides his memory, and he couldn't place his finger on it. But there's no using worrying these two about it. I guess I'm pretty strong, so it'll be no problem carrying her.

Hunter helped put the girl onto her back and she made sure she could hang on, as he did his best to support her. He caught that her name was Sam, and he quietly asked, "Hey, Sam, are you just as lost as Hunter and me?" He watched as his companion approached another person and asked him to stay behind. He furrowed his brow, but turned behind him to smile at Sam, "Hunter already mentioned my name, but I'm Julius. Nice to meet you."

[P.K.]

Sam listened to the two as they helped her into the boys back she felt really useless now "thank you" she said as they started off. here she started to think to herself what where they all doing here in the ruins of some... place? she might have asked but the boy got to a question first "just as lost?" she asked thinking "I don't remember much..." she said "and what flashes or images I have don't make since" she said frowning. "But I guess that means that neither of you know where we are or why?" she watched as the girl moved off to another person "how many are there?" she asked out loud but did not expect an answer to that.

"Yes sam is what I remember but... I think it was longer..." she said "Julius is a nice name" she commented quietly. She could feel some of the life coming back into her legs and she debated on wither she should or should not ask to be put down. "so the other girl's name is hunter? I don't know.. but it sounds like an odd name for a girl" she said softly "not to be mean or anything..." she added. After a moment she decided it best to be put down and said as much to Julius.

Taya pulled her hands away from her face as the images receded. What the hell was that? she questioned. Her mouth was dry and she felt dried tear tracks on her face. With a final hic, she wiped at her face and swallowed to try to generate moisture inside her mouth. Her tongue felt rough on the roof of her mouth and she was dying to get out of the sunlight.

Voices in the distance forced her to push herself onto her feet and egde forward. She crossed her arms across her chest and advanced through the rubble. "H- He- Hello? I- is someone there?"

[MaskofSilence]

Hunter

As I approached the person, I heard her- which I found out from the voice- call out, "H- He- Hello? I- is someone there?"

I then realized that this girl was facing away from me. Even though her back was to me, I could see the messy blonde hair that had been cut in to layers. I stood there for a second, debating on how to approach her. Nodding to myself, I decide the best way would be from the front.

Circling around, I made it about half-way before she saw me. The fear in her eyes was instant and she started to back up. Figuring she thought was going to hurt hurt her, I stopped and said warmly, "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Hunter. Are you okay?"

[Ilana]

Taya backed up a few steps. This girl was a stranger to her... then again so was everything else. Images began to push themselves to the forefront of her mind and she shook her head, her eyes immediately going to the ground. "My name's.....Taya."

She frowned at the ground. She wasn't sure, but it rolled off her tongue nicely and seemed to fit. If it wasn't her name, she didn't care. It was now. Her eyes found the red band on her wrist and she fingered that, trying to figure out what it meant. Taya nodded her head in answer to Hunter's question and briefly lifted her head to meet the other woman's gaze. After a moment images began to creep into her vision and she shook her head, adverting her eyes to the wrist of this woman's. She noticed a number. "You have one too?" As if to seem not strange, Taya held her own wrist up, showing a dirty 42 emblazoned on her skin.

Artemisia coughed more blood, suddenly a flash of sharp pain went trought her head and she almost lost conciousness. She couldn't see anything, only white, foggy images. As she tried to concentrate on them, another wave of pain went throught her whole body. More blood was now dripplng from her mouth, she held her head and fell on ground.
Artemisia saw herself in a big room full of medical instruments. She herself was been bound on a table and some scientists were doing somekind of a procedure.
"Stop it... I don't want to see this..." Artemisia shouted, holding her head. But even thought she closed her eyes, she could see everything what happened. Then a flashback in which she saw the face of a young woman and heard something she was saying;
It was the same voice that had talked to her just a moment ago and touched her.
Artemisia's head hurt more than ever. The rubbles around her started to shake as she stood up and started to float, rising into the air. The rubbles in the ground started also to raise into the air and made cracking noices as they broke into small pieces. Artemisia was angry, she was angry toward everyone in the world because she had to feel such pain. Even more rubbles rose into the ground and started to move together, bigger and bigger, a huge arm formed into the air about 50 meters above the ground, directly over the young woman who had touched Artemisia.
"I...I...I won't let you hurt anyone anymore! You shall be erased here! You demon!" She screamed and let the huge arm fall toward the ground...

Lilith watched as the girl withered obviously in pain, though as the girl coughed it almost looked like there was something wrong with her. Something that was more then just simply physical, more mental; this girls mind was warped the way she moved the way she feared others. Her perception was off, and it was obvious. “Why would I hurt you?” She questioned from the girl previous statement. It almost bewildered her.

From the looks of this place they were experiments, yes as what little memory she had it was of her being tested. Being nothing more then a subject or lab rat, they seemed to favor Lilly though it didn’t make sense as to why. They were gently on her then other experiments; maybe it was because her performance was what they wanted. Often in science the lab rats who accomplished what was needed got better treatment, treats or even a day off in rest.

It was then that as the rubble moved around she looked at her writs unconcerned for some reason, ‘54’ was adorned in a robotic fashion on her wrist as if to label her. As the ruble continued to move and now began to make noise as they broke apart in a fashion most strange; it once more caught lily’s attention. Standing up now and moving away from the girl by merely three feet she looked to the sky there above her was something forming. “Do you really think I am one you must punish….you obviously have some sort of mental instability, or the pain you are feeling is effecting you in such a manner it causes this reaction” She said watching the item form.

Lily’s hand rose up above her head and a magnetic force field that had protected her from so much wreckage before went up. Those it was not visible it was obvious the girl was doing something. As the hand came down to the earth to try and demolish Lilly she waited. The girl near her screaming "I...I...I won't let you hurt anyone anymore! You shall be erased here! You demon!” The hand fell and as it became closer to Lilith and her force feil it began to break apart the small partials it was made from repulsing even at this distance. Once the hand looked as if it was mere feet from Lilly it repelled with as much force as it came to the earth bouncing away from the girl. This such repulsion caused the form to break apart once more showing the ground with small chunks of debris all around the two women.

It was then that Lilly looked towards the girl her eyes no longer happy and fun but more methodical. It was like she examined her for a minute trying to determine what she could do to help this woman to alter her perception on things; it would be simply just manipulate the blood flow to her brain slightly differently. It would alter her perception; maybe even help the women however how was Lilly to know which way she should be wire a human was far more complex then a machine. “If I am so much of a demon, what does that make you? I have never hurt anyone. With the traits you have shown me here even your so called memories could be something of your imagination. If I have no such recollection of harming individuals but rather running through tests in this facility then you must be mistaken. If I was a lab rat how could I harm anyone? However if that is true doesn’t that make you the demon for trying to harm the innocent?” Lilith said her tone serious and rather un-happy with the girls response to her reach out of kindness before.

While this lack of judgment from the harmed girl could be forgiven by Lilith, it was in her nature to state what needed to be said. Her years of schooling had managed to stay with her through the experiments, she retained the knowledge she had learned over her life. It was in truth normal for test subjects to retain this however many of them had not gone to school for a masters degree. “Now if you want I can help the pain subside. I know you hurt, I'm sure if you weren't suffering in some way you wouldn't be so aggressive.” She said now crouched down looking at the girl her head tilted to the side. “I don’t know what you think I was but isn’t it obvious I am not that? If I was a demon I could have killed you by now, but I haven’t. Nor will I, so for now since we have no others around how about we make the best of this. Here take my hand, let try and find if there are any others. Okay?” With the ending of her statement a smile spread across Lilly’s face as if the logic in her argument would persuade the girl to come with her. The smile was no lie it was in fact just a normal expression Lilith had, she tended to always try and find the good in others it was her strong point. Offering her hand to the women on the ground, more then willing to help her up and support her in her weakened state.

Hunter

"You have one too?" she asked me as she held her wrist band up to me.

I simply answered her by hold up my arm and letting her see the wrist-band that look almost exactly like hers, only a different color. "Yeah, I don't quite remember what they were for." I said while staring at it, willing everyone of her memories to come back. Nothing.

Sighing, she turned a smile toward Taya. "I have some friend's over there." She said as she pointed in Julius's and Sam's direction. "We are looking for other's, like us. Want to come along?"
