(yea, I don't really know what'll happen, but we'll just have to see ;D and lets try to get you more involved asap Mekida had to find Aarold. But how? And what of her friends? Mekida flew down to the forest. It was cold and dark... she shivered. She placed her equipment down in the top branches of a tree, taking out a handful of pill-sixed microchips. She placed them in her pocket and headed off. If she could she'd try to help the captives. Mickael saw a flash of movement nearby. He glanced over to the men with guns. They were busy typing up other kids and talking. Searching the forest. When he turned around, he saw Mekida dart up a tree, fingers to her lips in silence. "Shhhh!" she said. "Okay, listen. Here..." she said showing him the microchip. This is a GPS locator. It's connected to my laptop. I'll be able to track you. I have 12. I'll hand them all out. What you can do is place them in your mouth. Do not swallow unless you have to. As your stomach acids will eat them within four hours. When you swallow, I'll have four ours to find you. I'll follow. I need to find Aarold though." "Wait, won't you free me?" "I can try. I'm sorry, but what I need to do first is more important. If I can't give them out, there'll be no chance for anyone else..." Mekida whispered, from the tree branches. "I can't promise anything..." Mekida left, secretly distributing out the microchips. Hopefully she'd have enough time to try and start setting people free, and giving them a chance to run. But what then?

Aarold landed on a small platform, he was far away from the School, he was even off the property. He looked around, hoping that some armed people would run up to him. But there was no one. He walked up to a little underground settlement, and also there, was no one. He sighed, that's why they attacked the Nightwatch, they found out about the Rebels camping on the edges of the School, and afraid that the Nightwatch would work together to take over made them act fast. He walked over to a radio, dead. There was nothing left for him here, which also meant that the Nightwatch was alone, no help from outside. He walked back out, spread his wings, and this time, with even more speed, he flew back.
Zachary ran through the hall way, he looked around to find something intresting, some Nightwatch that might have come back. He saw nothing but darkness, until a little figure he knew ran up to him. And more figures followed."Ryiah!" He whispered, as he came out of his hiding place, he saw something different about her. They were close to the forest, which meant that she had to be coming from there." What happened to your clothes?"

Ryiah turned, her gaze sharing none of the fear that the other's had. Instead they were angry. "What the hell are you doing!" she snarled, grabbing his shirt. Her wings were hidden at this moment, same with everyone else's. "Why are you sneaking around?" she demanded, her eyes like cold fire.
"Hey! There's another one!" Mekida jumped up. Shots wizzed by her head. Swearing she jumped into the air, flying away. Luckily, she had been far away that the shots went wide, though one clipped her wing. She hissed with the pain. Damn, it had toxins! She made her way back to were her stuff was hidden. Then she saw a flying figure. Was that Aarold? She decided to fly up to him, despite her injured wing.

Mikael watched as Mekida distributed the rest of themicrochips, but then she was forced to flee. He was relieved to see that she'd escaped, but was unable to see where she'd gone to. He saw some guards coming his way, and tucked the small chip back in his cheek. The guard didn't say anything to him, butbefore Mikael could do anything, the guard hit him over the head and knocked him unconcious once again.
Sam growled to himself. Apparently Mekida hadn't heard him. He stopped and rested in a tree, sitting near the top to keep a watch of the surounding area and the air. He didn't know what he would have to do to help Mikael, or even who else of the Nightwatch had survived this surprise attack. He saw a winged shadow fly up out of the forest, towards another in the air, and took off as well, flying up to connect with the other two to see what was going on, and if anyone had a plan yet. As he got closer, he saw that the one who'd flown out of the forest was Mekida. She seemed to be flying a little erratically, and he flew up close, alongside her. "Are you alright?" he asked worriedly.

Zachary was suprised by Ryiah's reaction. He pushed away her hand." I ain't bothering anyone." He said." And besides! You're sneaking around too, aren't ya!"
Aarold saw Medika, which wasn't want he wanted to see flying around. Why wasn't she in her room, save? He slowed down, and saw an other Nightwatch joining her. Ofcourse, that person he might have seen ones or twice, but he wouldn't be able to remember his name. They were only a few metres away from him, and he saw the same thing that Sam had seen. Was Medika hit?

Ryiah released him. "Yes, but I know my business. Do you know yours?" she asked, getting more composed. She saw three figures flit by in the shadows. Her's, she guessed. Did she want them involved. No, not yet. It'd be too early. "You never saw me. I never saw you. I know what you are thinking, but you're wrong. So wrong..." she said with a coy smile. "And for your own safety, never say a word of this..." she said, touring her back to walk away.
Mekida looked started, as Same flew besides her. "I'm fine. Just a minor... flesh wound. I'll treat it when I land. I have some supplies with me..." she said, breathing heavily. At the height they were at, death would be instantaneous if one were to fall.
Aarold flew Mekida and the other NightWatch. "Mekida! Are you hurt? Did you get shot?" "Just a clipped wing..." Mekida said. But it was obvious that she was tired, and weary, though they all were. "Though we should land before I actually do fall out of the sky..." she joked morbidly. "Not funny..." Aarold said. "Who's this?" he asked, turing to Sam.
Amod felt the chip in the back of his mouth. He managed to finally make his wings go away. At least Mekida was able to escape. What was going to happen to him? Were they going to kill him? Experiment? Horrible images flew through his head. Sighing, he closed his eyes, only to be shaken by a guard. "Up you got, little birdey!" the man snarled. Turing, he shouted, "Carl, get over here, and help me load this batch into the truck!"

Zachary followed her with his gaze of suprise and more supicious. He didn't want to go in a discussion with her, and anyways, he didn't have anyone to tell about their meeting, and he wouldn't see the use of it either. What had gotten into her, she was different from the person he met this morning.
"Sam." Same said shortly. "Ah, well. Why are you still here, Sam? Everyone should have fleeded?" Aarold asked, allthough he had no sense in knowing that, he wanted to discus the situation they were all in.

Mekida dropped a few feet in altitude before she caught herself, clenching her teeth in pain. "I need to land..." Mekida said. "I'll see you on the ground..." She said, dropping into the forest below. Sam and Aarold followed her. They found her opening her backpack, to take out some first aid supplies, which she put on her back, as she'd folded her wings. "Are you sure you're okay?" "Yes. I have to tell you something important...." "Yes, what happened?" "I went to my room. A few minutes later, as I thought they might, guards came in to search the room. That's okay. They've done that before, as I have everything concealed. But they had this device, the one I told you about that forces all NightWatch to release their wings... I thought everything was still in the works. So I hit him over the head with a bat... I might've killed him, I'm not sure..." Mekida said with a shudder. "Anyway, I fled here. I managed to give out a few GPS microchips before I met with you. But also managed to get shot... good thing that it was only a regular bullet..." "What do you mean, 'just a regular bullet'"? Sam asked. "What I mean is that since they have a device to force us to expose our wings, they might also have a bullet to take them away. Like the pill that we've been developing... They could shoot those at us, and make us lose our wings when flying... A fall from that height? You'd die."
Ryiah made her way to bed. Inspectors came in. "May I see your arm?" "Sure..." she said with a tired smile, faked, of course. Her heart was beating so fast. The man pressed the probe into her skin. The he looked at her, "You may go back to sleep..." the man said. Ryiah smiled again, nodding. "May I ask what that is?" "It's new procedure, miss." "Hummmm.... Why?" "It's best of you just go back to sleep." "Okay... sure. But I've been hearing some noise. What's going on?" "Nothing that concerns you. Now good night," the man said, turning and closing the door, locking it, as all students were locked in their rooms past 10. Ryiah laughed. After this purge, it'd be only her and her gang left. No more NightWatch... She went to the window. "Coooocooohhh" she called. Another "owl" noise came back. Everything had gone to plan. Everything except for that little annoyance, Zachary. What would she do about him? She liked him. Perhaps he'd make a good addition? She'd have to wait and see...

Diego sat down, this wall all going the wrong way. And he had no idea how to get out of it, he wasn't much of a leader, he was a scientist, he had nothing to do with leadership." The Rebels are gone." He said. "Gone?" Medika said suprised. "I went there to find no one, just an empty house. No signs of fight or struggle, they just left." He stood up again. "Do the two of you have any idea what now? Because I have nothing left."
Zachary stopped outside, he wasn't running from anything, it was almost morning and teachers were to busy rating everyone's room that they wouldn't be looking for him. He still thought about Ryiah, because he knew she couldn't be a normal student. Not with what he had seen tonight. Was she a Nightwatch? or something else? He could only ask these questions to himself. With that group that was with Ryiah he was afraid to comfort her with it again.

Sam frowned at the idea of the School able to expose them, or even to make them loose their wings. "Mikael was caught. I didn't know what else to do--I figured I couldn't just go back to the school now." he said in reply to Aarold's previous question. So much had happened in such a short amount of time! He couldn't quite comprehend it all. And Aarold, admiting he didn't know what to do? "But you're our leader. I'm willing to do anything you tell me to, any task you can set me, but we need to do something! So many friends got captured today!" he said, guesturing back through the forest toward where they'd been ambushed. He looked at Mekida for backup.

Mekida shook her head. "Gone?" she said, shocked. "But we can't go back. They'll just capture us like everyone else. Do you have any idea where they might've gone? Could they have left us clues on where they fled to? Perhaps we can go back to their site and see if they left any sort of coded or hidden message?" Mekida said, disheartened, but hopeful.
Ryiah quickly showered and changed. She needed to figure out what to do. "Hey!" she said to her room mate. "Do you know the status report?" "I tapped the system. They say that they've captured majority of the NightWatch. And all guilty. With their new device..." "Excellent." "So can we show our new wings?" "No... not yet. We need to wait. Be patient. I want you to drop a note by that kid, Zach's door. Deliver it to him, and only him. If he's not there, then try again later. Here..." she said, writing it and handing it to him. "Okay?" "Got it."
Unsure of what to do, Zach made his way back to his dorm. It was so quite, it was scary. The mood was grim and dead. Those who hadn't been taken away early this morning had stayed in their room, scared to leave for breakfast. Z Zach jumped to the light knocking on his door. His heart pounding, he opened it. A boy, a shorter taller, but much more built stood before him. His face was closed, his eyes black and cold. He looked behind Zach, checking the room. Empty. He then presented Zach with a the note. "Um... okay..." Zach said, taking it. He looked down at it. He looked back to the boy to thank him, but he'd gone. "What?" Zach asked, looking up and down the hall, but there was no sign of the strange kid. Closing the door, he opened the note: Zach, can I really trust you? Perhaps not. Trust is hard to come by, and even hard to keep. You probably have suspicions, of course, they'll probably all wrong. But you don't know what you've fallen into. Tonight, after dinner, meet me outside by the large oak tree. Come alone. We'll talk then. - R

Zachary made a weird face as he finished the note. It was very obvious who had send him the letter, he knew no one else with an "R". He sighed and sat down on his bed, hiding the note under his matras. He would go, only because he wanted to know what was going on, and in what ways his suspicions were wrong, he couldn't be that far from it.
Aarold shook his head." Useless, I've discussed matters like these with them a lot, and that code I haven't found." He said with a sigh, not trying to take away her hope, but he had to tell the truth." Those Microships? How long do they work?" "4 hours, if they shallow them." Aarold nodded." Have they moved yet?"

Ryiah moved like a shadow herself, her dark hair, pulled back into a sharp poneytail. She glanced at Max, who nodded, turing the other direction. Ryiah continued on, coming to the large oak tree. As if jumping up a ten foot tree was easy, Ryiah settled herself high in the branches, to wait.
Mekida landed before taking out her laptop. "I´ll have to check to see what´s going on right now...." she said. Looking at the screen she cursed. "They´re moving... fast. Car probably. Don´t know. Truck? Anyway, none have been swallowed, which is good. But what do we do? Should we check again at the camp to see if there´s any sighns or should we go on and follow the GPS signals??" Mekida asked looking at Aarold.

Aarold looked up at the sky." We follow the signals, like I said there is nothing left in that camp." He whispered, then spread his wings." I assume that Sam will be joining us." He waited for both Medika and Sam to jump up to the sky, he had no time to waste. He would follow them up high, but it was always better to go last, as his wings were more evolved then that of any other NightWatch, he would be able to catch up any attack, or distract any opponent. People always go for the biggest thing.
Zachary approached the oak tree, not supprised as he saw Ryiah hiding between the branches. He had guessed that place when he saw no one around the oak. And he had been climing that same tree many times to know the safest place to sit down. She might not notice him staring at her through his hair, which fell in front of his eyes. He was now getting curious about what she had to tell to him. He walked up to the tree, standing under it, waiting for Ryiah to jump out. Would she try to scare him?

Mekida grimaced, quicklying swalloing a tablet to help the pain that still struch through her body with each wing beat. At least the bleeding had stopped. "Oikay, folloe me..." she said to them, holindg her laptop in her hands which said where they were.
Ryiah saw him coming. She streched. It was very slight, the gesture that Zachary made, but she could feel his eyes fall upon her. Good. Intuitive boy. She smiled to herself. If he could see her or even in the least, know that she´d be where she was, then he was even sharper than she´d thought. Perfect. Perhaps he´d make a great convert? She´d have to see... Without ruffeling a leaf, she dropped besides him. Zach didn´t even flinch as he looked over at her. Ryiah wore a razor smiled, and something dark and... predatory, gleamed in her eyes. Zach tried not to shiver. "So, you said for me to meet you here... What´s up?" he said, trying to sound calm, though her was quite tight with both curiosity and fear. He knew that she probbably had her followers, friends or whoever they were, near by...
Ryiah made a motion. "Come on... Let´s walk..." As they made their way through the dark school grounds, Ryiah said, "Tell me, what do you think this is all about?" she asked "I know you must be dying with curosity, but I myself am curious, though I have my suspicions. And I´m usually quite correct. You think I´m NightWatch, don´t you."

Aarold feared for Medika's situation, but she wasn't going to be save if he left her behind. And besides he didn't know how to use her laptop. They went on their way on top speed, flying only deeper into school territory. Here was the same thing happening, NightWatch had spread all over the School, not only in the area that Aarold lived in, but even hundred miles away.
Zachary nodded." As close as it gets." He answered." But I guess I'm wrong with that." Ryiah gave him a slight look. "So, then you must be something new, something like the NightWatch. But different." He looked at Ryiah, hoping she would give anything away, why else would she have asked him to come.

Something dark passed behind Ryiah's eyes. "What makes you think I'm anything like the NightWatch? Even remotely similar?" she asked, her face curious as well as dangerous. She wanted to know how much he suspected. How could she best get around this?
Mekida gave a call. "One has been swallowed!"

Zachary made a smile." It's obvious isn't it, you come in with a group of people just after those teachers raided our rooms. Your clothes were all dirty, and you looked like there was a storm. You must have been outside, only the Nightwatchers go outside at night. And when you wrote me that note in which you proved me wrong I just began to look further. But it's only a guess that your closely family to the NightWatch. You have wings, right?" He stopped smiling, he had seen her wings, it might have been hard for her to hide when she grabbed him earlier. It's normal for him to pay attention to everything, one thing you learn from playing guitar, drums or any other instrument he had ever played.
Aarold nodded." Can you two move a bit faster?" He asked, his wings were big enough to double this speed within seconds." Or how far are they away from us? I might be able to reach them earlier, then wait for the two of you as soon as they have stopped."

That fact surprised her more than anything. When had he seen her wings? As soon as she'd landed, they'd disappeared. Thinking Ryiah would protest, Zach opened his mouth to continue, but Ryiah cut him off with a considerably warm smile. "Yes..." she said. "You could say I'm a form... a new form of the NightWatch." They both knew that these were dangerous words to say. And without preamble, Ryiah asked what she'd been wanting to get to. She needed not to play around. Just get to the point. "Even more than the NightWatch, my order is shrouded in secrecy. And I ask if you would join..." she said, a glint in her eye. It was rumored that those who turned down the NightWatch disappeared just as NightWatch suspected kids did. It was a dangerous balance.
Mekida shook her head. "You're not leaving us..." she said, her wings picking up the speed. "I'll manage..." she said. "Besides you might need me... us," she said with a grin.

Aarold nodded, allthough he wasn't agreeing." then, give me a sign when they stop." He said, looking around, not far from them was an other part of the School. Not the biggest, but yet the most famous for it's harsh treatment. The School was one big network, but every piece had it's own rules, it's own teachers and School head. In such a way this was handy for the fight against the Rebels, for them it became harder to pulled down the whole School if it was separated in more than hundred different buildings.
Even with the fact that Zachary suspected such a question he was kind of amazed, because why would any 'Kind' of NightWatch ask him. He wanted to nodd, but his mind was still over looking the question, because what would he do if the teachers found out that he flew at night. It was much saver to be just a normal student." It has become kind of dangerous to be a NightWatch or close since last night, what makes you think I would exchange my safety for a pair of wings?" It was more a difficult way to ask why she wanted him to join her group, but he decided to formulate it like this.
