The Forsaken Roleplay

THE FALLING
The first thing you ought to know about this story was that nobody asked for this, nobody wanted this, and nobody did this. It was a brisk evening of fall and at about 6 pm it was already quite dark, the full moon illuminating everything in view with a beautiful yet haunting shade of gray. A group of teenagers, out after some party were driving through the countryside, some drunk, some not, they were blaring music and singing along, having fun. Nobody was around to tell them off, and nobody was around to see what happened next.

As the teenagers were speeding in a race between cars, shouts of drunk teens yelling from the cars, there was a flash of light, blinding everyone in the vicinity, it was a miracle neither cars crashed. But something else did. As the cars wavered, almost hitting each other, screams could be heard from some of the more sober teens, as before them in the sky was a large rock like formation that was zooming towards them at rocket speed. The cars immediately took off trying to out run this, but it seemed magnetized to them, and as it came crashing to the ground it exploded, sending passengers flying off in all directions, the cars ripping apart and also flying into trees and ditches.

God only knows how none of the teens were killed, but almost all of them were unconscious and in bad conditions, only a few made it out conscious, and as they stared at the bodies of fallen teens and burning vehicles they could do nothing but cry, or run, or scream, or...

A few hours later large black vans came, the back ends opening and people in suits (helmets covering their heads so you could not see their faces) filed out and began to pick up the teens, placing them in the back of the van and racing off into the night, a truck then came and cleaned up the vehicles, and soon that left, leaving the area empty and gloomy, only the rare spot of blood on the ground.

---------------------------------

Now it is 6 months later.

[i]WHAT HAPPENED/WHAT'S HAPPENING
Now as you've probably figured out that rock formation was no rock. It was something unexplainable in simple human terms, where it came from? A mystery. Not even authorities knew, they only knew what it brought, and that was destruction.

Now this 'rock' as it seemed, when it exploded, hitting humans, it changed them, turned them into different things. It seeped into their humanity and changed their entire being, forming itself inside of them and outside of them. To make it simple, it gave them abilities.

Now what abilities? You may ask. Any, and all. Anything simple from wings, or the power to move things with your mind, strength, invisibility, or even being able to create flames or water... Maybe it was more complicated like the ability to teleport, or read minds, or control minds... Who knows... All that was known, to the very few who had high enough clearance to find out, was that this 'rock' brought powers to mere humans, and that was not good.

Humans all ready seek power as it is, give them powers and they will ruin the world, trying to form it their own way. There was a few who sought to do good, using their powers for the good of humanity, but they were thought of as 'freaks' or 'monsters' and were beaten, killed or taken away. Who could take them away? Ahh..

That would be The Shrouders (as people called them, the few who knew of them), they are really a part of the goverment who have decided to capture these 'freaks' and to lock them up, experiment, find out where they came from, keep them from doing harm... They are pretty much to jail these people, and to find the cause. They are the people who came in the black vans.

---------------------------

Now it is 6 months later, somehow those teens who were taken have escaped, some say that the building had been attacked and the defences had gone down, allowing some who were contained to escape, yes this means our teens, but it also means dangerous criminals and masterminds. Once it was figured out by the government they sent people to find them again, but now these people with powers are now able to fight, and hide...

So our story will begin 2 weeks after their escape.

DO'S & DON'TS
There are things you must do and must not do

[color=white]

[font=andale mono][color=white]THE SHROUDERS
As said before they are part of the government that is trying to capture and keep these 'freaks' away from people. Some would call them good, but behind the bars (so to speak) they are not good. They do many things to the 'freaks' whom they capture. Going so far as to experiment on them, hurt them if they disobey and many things like that. They've even been known to kill people who have did nothing but wound someone.

PLOTTING THREAD

It was a spring evening, at about 5 pm it was rather cold, most people were going around with coats and hoods, although it was getting to the middle of spring, winter hadn't really left yet, especially in a town that was close by to mountain rivers.

Blake was not excited about having to work in this weather, although yes she worked inside her clothes were not meant for cold weather, in winter it was fine since they always had the doors shut and the fire lit, but in spring it wasn't snowing and so they kept the doors open. As she went round wiping tables in the little restaurant she heard a crash, and her mind remembered the same crash of that fateful day 6 months ago. The day she had lost all of her friends, except Donnie. Her eyes watered but she forced the memory away, she couldn't think of that every single moment of her life.

But she did, every day it haunted her, every day she went home blaming herself for her friends death... especially Sebastien.. her boyfriend. Now even though it had been 6 months that didn't change the fact that she still remembered it as clear as day. But yes... she had moved on in a way, she had a new boyfriend, she had a few friends... though none as close as her old ones. She still lived in the same apartment in the same town, working at her favorite restaurant. She lived with Donnie, only because he had felt sorry for her, felt that it was slightly his fault that he hadn't gone and protected them... also because Blake had not been able to look after herself for the first 2 months. Donnie had been a great friend and well... older brother.

Blake snapped out of her thoughts as someone closed the door, they were open but nobody was in at the moment, giving them the perfect time to clean up the place from the lunch visitors, and to make the place presentable as many people liked to eat dinner here. Blake quickly finished wiping the tables down and as soon as she went back to the kitchen a couple came through the door, and more and more people started to enter... ahhh the dinner rush. She had purposely chosen the evening job because it stopped her from going out at night... and she hated going out now. She sighed as she began to gather the menu's to get for the couple.

Why was it so cold? It was spring wasn't it?

To be honest Avery didn't really know when it was... it felt like forever since they had been captured... and he couldn't even believe that.. if he hadn't gone through it. It was a horrible nightmare... and he was still terrified that they would get captured again. And what about these powers? Where had they come from? What had that rock been in the first place? So many un answered questions that he had no idea of finding out. He looked over to see Roaslie shivering, they were all cold, and hungry.. and tired. They had decided, to go back to their old town... there was nowhere else to really go... It probably wasn't the best plan but it was the only plan they had. Was there a possibility that some of the others hadn't been taken by The Shrouders? Probably not.. .

Blake hadn't escaped with them, and nobody had seen her the entire time they were there... so they presumed she was dead. A few others had died as well... It had been a dreadful time. Avery shivered again and rubbed his hands together for warmth, at least it wasn't snowing. When they had first escaped they had found themselves to be on a snowy mountain top, and that had been one of the worst places to escape from. it took them a good 5 days just to get down the mountain, although they had been lucky enough to find a car and had squished in. But that had broken down a few days ago and they had decided to go the rest of the way on foot.

They were only maybe an hour or two away from their old town, and Avery was getting more and more nervous... what would happen? He swallowed. "Where do we go when we get there?" He asked, quietly, but loud enough to be heard.

Short post to move it along a little. (Also side note I just got my restricted licence! <3)
