YarnKittymon: : ::it's a cloudy night, almost
rainy, and a large group of townspeople have assembled around
the shelter set up over the three stone figures in the forest;
Banrak is near them, ready to start his part, and hoping rather
strongly that it works::
Quantum Catz: EK: ::has been rather quiet since
he came back from fighting the basilisk; stands next to his siblings,
watching banrak and not saying anything::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::is watching her brother's
stone figure rather intently, while casting hopeful glances to
the sorcerer whose trying to help him::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::is holding Eli's hand, scared
to death that it won't work::
YarnKittymon: BN: ::the sorcerer rather timidly
puts a bit of the basilisk blood onto Isaac's head, keeping his
fingers crossed::
YarnKittymon: : ::absolutely nothing happens::
YarnKittymon: BN: ::steps back, looking upset,
and bowing his head::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::squeezes Eli's hand harder,
trembling a little; he shakes his head::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::cringes, her hand self-consciously
resting on her still-flat stomach; she wonders if she'll have
to name the baby after Maeve after all::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::her eyes tear up as they
close and she reaches for her brothers::
Quantum Catz: EK: ::puts his arm around Dolly
but keeps his eyes on Isaac, his teeth clenched::
Quantum Catz: BM: ::looks over at Libby, losing
hope herself::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::walks over to the kids, trying
to smile:: I'm sure we'll find some sort of spell to bring them
back.
Quantum Catz: EK: ::his teeth still clenched,
looking more angry than upset:: If this spell didn't work, what
else is there?
Maeve Owens: SV: ::a petite woman with light
brown hair and chocolate eyes steps forward out of the crowd.
She's wearing heels and a nice work dress with half of her medium
length hair pulled back with a clip. She smiles Banrak.:: Excuse
me, but didn't you say it needed the light of the full moon in
order to work? That shelter is blocking the moonlight.
YarnKittymon: HR: ::his eyes fall on the woman,
wondering who she is and why he hasn't seen her before::
YarnKittymon: BN: ::looks at the woman in astonishment::
Pardon me?
YarnKittymon: TY: ::instantly steps forward to
help tear down the shelter::
Maeve Owens: SV: ::she shrugs, and when she
sees at least one person starting to tear down the shelter she
moves back into the crowd::
YarnKittymon: TY: ::finally just melts the roof
and side walls into nothing::
YarnKittymon: : ::when the muted moonlight shines
through the clouds and lands on Isaac's head, the young man's
hair takes on its usual color, and the rest of him soon follows;
he's probably feeling very numb and he can move more quickly than
when he was in the stone world, which is likely strange, but he's
otherwise unharmed::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::blinks, taking a second to
realise what's happened; murmurs:: Dad...
YarnKittymon: JH: ::drops Eli's hand and runs
forward to his brother, hugging him and kissing him like a child
half his age:: Isaac!
Maeve Owens: DK: ::lets out the breath she'd
been holding and immediately runs forward to hug her brother::
Isaac!
Quantum Catz: EK: ::moves forward too, letting
out a deep breath and seeming to suddenly relax::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::grins and hugs his siblings;
joking weakly:: I get the feeling you missed me
YarnKittymon: JH: ::has to wipe back the tears
on his face::
YarnKittymon: BN: ::watches them, lost in the
moment::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::softly:: We thought we'd
never see you again.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::Softly, looking down:: Me
too
YarnKittymon: JH: Was it scary being a statue?
Is that why you called for Dad?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::looks up again, smiling slightly::
Dad was there, helping me so i could get back to you guys - he
wanted me to tell you how important you all were to him...
Maeve Owens: DK: ::she frowns:: What do you
mean he was there?
YarnKittymon: JH: ::looks at Isaac with wide
eyes:: So you were in heaven? Was Maeve there too?
Quantum Catz: IS: I don't...i think we were stuck
somewhere in between and he...he came to help us escape ::looks
over at Maeve and then round to Toby and the others:: Maeve's
going to be okay too, right?
YarnKittymon: BN: ::stands up straight, rather
guiltily:: Sorry...I forgot about the others. ::moves on to Maeve,
putting some of the basilisk blood on her head; he continues on
to Rick without even pausing::
YarnKittymon: : ::Maeve's body transforms in
much the same manner as Isaac's did, though her thief dress turns
red before it turns to fabric, and there's blood soaked through
it by the time she's fully flesh::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she doesn't even have time
to look around her before all she can feel is sharp pains shooting
through her side, causing a soft moan to escape her lips::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::gasps when he sees the blood
on Maeve's dress, instantly pulling back from Isaac::
Maeve Owens: DK: ::her eyes widen but she doesn't
move away from her brother::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::as soon as he sees the blood,
he pulls away from his siblings and runs over to hold her, pressing
his hand to the wound to heal it::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::she sucks in a painful breath
when he touches the wound but she lets it out as soon as its healed.
She smiles weakly at him:: Thanks.
YarnKittymon: JH: ::goes over to Maeve and takes
her hand; softly:: Are you OK?
Maeve Owens: MV: ::her smile brightens some
for his sake and she squeezes his hand:: I'm fine.
Quantum Catz: EK: ::smiles weakly:: It's a good
thing that spell worked...was a lot of effort to get that monster
YarnKittymon: TY: ::cringes, sure Eli's going
to get an earful from Isaac::
YarnKittymon: LB: ::walks over to Maeve, slowly
and a bit gingerly, and grins widely at her friend::
YarnKittymon: : ::Rick's family is all around
him too; even his wife has joined in the dogpile::
Maeve Owens: MV: ::smiles weakly at Libby; half
joking:: Hey, sorry I took a little vacation without giving you
any notice.
YarnKittymon: LB: ::nods shakily:: Wasn't your
fault...
Quantum Catz: BM: ::grins:: It's good to have
you back anyway
YarnKittymon: TY: ::nods:: But you've got to
stop scaring us like this!
Quantum Catz: BM: ::chuckles:: Either that or
we'll have to lock you up in your house for you're own protection
Maeve Owens: MV: ::looks over to Toby; blinks::
What? ::she smirks:: I didn't even do *anything*. One minute we
were hanging around a fire and the next minute I couldn't even
move! And if you did lock me in the house the stupid thing would
probably just collapse in on me!
YarnKittymon: LB: ::laughs lightly:: That's probably
true.
