As Mark watched Alex fall, he was screaming with the impossibility of saving her, but she seemed calm, not scared, as if this was all inevitable, Which it was, Mark mused. After a few seconds, her face began to show the signs of grim determination. Then, she turned downwards, and started screaming as if being subjected to the worst torture humanly possible, one second gripping her head, as if to keep it from exploding, the next grabbing her shoulder blades, apparently for the same reason. Mark blinked, and he saw blood dripping from her wings, Wings?! Mark thought, suddenly puzzled enough to stop screaming, and she came out of her dive, and flew back up to the cliff.
"Owie..." Alex whispered, before blacking out on Mark's shoulder.
A man dressed in a white fabric that almost blinded the eye descended slowly to the ground, followed by a woman, dressed in black. He smiled, as he picked up Alex as if she weighed nothing, and said, "Memory is a funny thing. If you get brain-washed, then you'll never remember the event again. So, in case you become subject to a brain-washing, always live for the moment." The man seemed to catch all of their eyes simultaneously, and snapped. "They'll wake up again in 25 minutes. Lets go." The woman of black simply nodded, and they disappeared.
Adam's eyes were turning funny colors, one red, one blue. His glasses were melting off his frames, but he didn't appear to notice. "C'mon boys, lets spend this on... Boys? Boys? Oh shit! SHIT!" The cause of his fear and sudden indecision was Adam himself, and the fact that Adam's money was floating back to him.
"I will take this abuse no longer." Adam said quietly, with obviously suppressed anger. "Your time has come, Melv. Die!" pure energy flew from his fingers, and slashed right through Melv, like hot butter.
Melv's last words, were, "Oopsie Daisy." he let out one more ragged breath, and dropped.
Three people came this time, one man in a red kimono, a woman in a blue, flowing dress, and another man, dressed in a soft yellow tuxedo. The woman smiled faintly, and said, "So much blood... I suppose it couldn't be helped. Dove!"
"Yes?" The man in white, and the woman in black suddenly appeared.
"All of them except the boy with the melted glasses."
"What 'actually' happened to dead one?"
The woman smiled, and said, "He had brought knives, and he had slashed himself with them. Crow, summon 5 knives, I'll supply the illusion of blood." the woman in black nodded, the man in white snapped, and the woman in blue tapped the suddenly bloodied knives. The man in yellow gestured for Adam to come closer. He did, as if in a trance. The woman in black snapped again, and they were gone.
The principal and the secretary who happened to be standing there, dropped to their knees, and, just lay there, not moving, not breathing, doing nothing. Melee walked over to them, put her hand over the principal's heart, and didn't feel it beating. She started screaming at the top of her lungs, and ran out into the hall, where she saw many fellow students, in the same position. She herself dropped to her knees, and started bawling, not knowing what to do. She didn't even notice those called Dove and Crow and they appeared. Dove picked her chin up, and made her look into his eyes. He smiled, and said, "You overdid it a bit... they forgot their primitive functions too, but I'll restore their memories, excepting you of course, and eventually you'll learn how to as well." he snapped, and she could hear the principal breathing again, although he didn't stand up. "Don't worry, he's only sleeping. Crow, out." She nodded, and the three of them were gone.
The fire sputtered, and died. Andy just stood there, stunned. Then he laughed, quietly at first, then louder. It had worked! And those idiots had said there was no such thing as magic. The other campers just stared, and one said, "Ow!" The five had just teleported into his "personal area," and he had been elbowed by the red head in the kimono.
Andy stopped in his jubilation, and started looking for Kelly. She was nowhere to be found. "Kelly? Kelly? KELLY!"
"Don't worry, kid," the red head said reassuringly, although condescendingly. "Hawk's already talking to her, Your friend is just vaporous." Kelly dropped out of thin air, accompanied by the lady in blue. The man in white snapped, the woman in black nodded, and they were gone.
Kelly started floating, and her jubilation overwhelmed every other sense. But she suddenly realized she couldn't hear anything, except a voice in her head saying, "All you need to do is remember what its like to be solid. To touch a hand, to smell a flower, to hear a friend babble about meaningless nonsense."
"Why?" she tried to reply, but she couldn't hear herself, and she started screaming when she realized she couldn't hear herself, and crying when she couldn't hear her scream, and stunned when she couldn't feel her tears.
"So that you'll be solid again, and touch, and, hear, and smell." Kelly remembered, and it was harder then she thought, but she succeeded, and became herself again."
A woman blue was standing next to her, and said, "Easy, right?" Kelly saw a bunch of burned logs where the fire had been, and looked around in question, but everyone was unmoving, except Andy, and the other five. And as she was looking, she disappeared.
