Looking for a Brother

[±Witchcraft±]

Samantha stood at the edge of the light forest looking in as far as she could through the trees. Since it was a large forest she couldn’t see to far in. She let out a large sigh and fell onto the ground, getting large grass stains on her blue Ceremonial Robes. Each member of the family had a set, and all the children's were the same, though a tiny bit different on the designs. Rhyme’s has just music, while Samantha’s had music and instruments all over it.

She pulled the locket from under her shirt and looked at it and held it in her hand. Flipping it open she looked at the picture of her brother Rhyme on one side, and her family on the other. The locket led here to the island, but instead of fining Rhyme right away, it further pointed her into the forest...which was dark and scary. Who had the bright idea to call it the “Light” forest anyway....

“I don’t want to go in there.” she said to herself angrily.

~Its dark....~ she thought to herself in fright.

Suzume saw the person and she smiled, she seemed to be around the same age! She slowly walked towards the stranger but stopped several feet short when doubt came to her, 'What if she laughs at you? What if she's mean? You're better off just leaving now, you have Cecee don't you? You don't really need too many friends... just start leaving and you'll be fine...' she began backing away, honestly hoping that she wouldn't be seen.

"There's no reason to be scared," a voice whispered behind Samantha, though if she turned around, she'd find that there was nobody there. Damon was currently a vapor in the wind, whirling around to materialize a few feet away. There was another person nearby, but he'd wait for them to approach.
"After all, it's just a hunk of trees that're too scared to stand on their own." He shoved a hand into her face. "I'm Damon, and you are?"

[Señor Sunday Friday]

Suzume slipped and fell to the ground with the slightest, "OOF!" when Damon's voice entered the air and she scrambled to her feet as she looked towards Samantha and Damon with wide eyes, her jaw dropped slightly and she didn't move an inch, a suprised and somewhat scared expression plastered to her face. She wanted to run from the people, but she kept still for now, as if there was some dim hope that she hadn't been noticed.

Samantha’s eyes went wide as she jumped from her sitting position a good foot into the air. From always being attacked on the way to this crazy school, she pulled her flute out from reflex and just stopped herself from playing the three high pitched notes that would bring the lightning down from the perfectly clear sky to hit the man who had frightened her so.

“Yea, but you ‘are’ scary!” she screamed at him, not as loud as Rhyme’s yell, but still pretty good.

She then looked over to see little Suzume lying on the ground.

“Oh dear, are you okay?” she said, ignoring the man, as she ran over and kneeled next to the fallen girl.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

Suzume's eyes were wide enough to make one believe that perhaps Samantha had an extra eye that only the kitsune was able to see and she backed away in a rush of movement, her fox ears twitched atop her head, "Y...yes, I'm okay..." she mumbled. She promptly looked to the ground, "Hi..." she said, the pathetically best thing she could think of saying, "I'm Suzume..." her tail twitched back and forth as she sat there in the grass. Her greeting was, in all honesty very forced and generic... she obviously wasn't the most outspoken person from her kindergarten class.

"You okay?" Damon asked, walking over to the two of them. "Sorry if I scared you. I'm not evil, really," he said with a laugh. "I just like to mess with people sometimes. Tootsie Roll?" he asked, holding out some candies from his pocket. "Wait, why were you spying on her, anyway?" he asked Suzume pointedly. "People don't usually hide and sneak around if they're not up to something."

[±Witchcraft±]

Sam gave the strange man a glare over her shoulder when he talked about Suzume in such a bad way.

“Like you can talk, just appeared out of nowhere, as far as we know, you could have been watching from within the bushes the whole time I was here.” she said, sticking her tongue out at him.


“Oh, I’m Samantha, nice to meet you Suzume” she said, turning back toward the girl and giving her a big smile.

Damon looked down, slightly hurt. "I just wanted to introduce myself," he said. "Sorry if I get in the way." And with that, he vanished into the sky.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

Suzume felt kinda bad for seemingly hurting the stranger's feelings... and now he was gone. She didn't say anything about it, though... because she didn't know whether or not it was a good idea to do so. "Hi..." She said again, a weak smile on her face and she looked towards the forest, "What were you looking for?" she asked, hoping she wasn't being rude. Suzume was a rather paranoid person when it came to meeting other people, almost annoyingly so.

[±Witchcraft±]

“Just my brother.” she said happily, glad that the man as gone. “I know he goes to this school, and I know he is someone in...” she paused, swallowing hard with a glump, “that dark scary forest, who someone had the mind to call the ‘Light Forest.’”

Samantha couldn’t have cared less that the man was gone. He was creepy and quite rude of sneaking up on them like that.

Damon watched the two of them from the trees, scowling. He made a series of hand signs, using a combination of two techniques. "Swamp Imitation Jutsu!" Thick mist rolled into the area, clouding the view of anything more than a few feet away. Then parts of the ground began to fade into a thick purple liquid, much like quicksand. Damon faded into purple smoke, mingling in with the mist.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

Suzume nodded, "Really?" she smiled, "If you don't want to go in there by yourself, I could come... I have light, too!" she nodded, a spark of fox fire sputtered from her fingertips and she looked at the dancing flame satisfiedly. Her turqoise eyes glittered but the next thing she knew, the ground had changed and the air was misty. Her eyes went wide with shock and she looked around, "Did you do that?" she asked, inspecting the murky ground and she shook her head, things weren't supposed to change like that. "That big kid shouldn't be all by himself if the ground is all murky like this... he could get hurt..." she muttered to herself, still quite puzzled, "Hey... I think we should go somewhere else... it's not safe here, there might be quicksand." she nodded in that way that children do when they know a little bit of information but they were utterly positive about every bit of that information.

[±Witchcraft±]

Sam nodded with the suggestion to go around. The murkiness of the new area made her think of the one swamp she had to cross. It wasn’t fun, her cloths got ruins, she almost got stuck in quicksand and almost got swallowed by an alligator.

“Cool! I wish I could make fire or light like that. Its really pretty too. And yea, we should go around, though do you know your way around here? Since I can only go by my locket.” she said, pulling out the silver locket from around her neck.

Damon decided to try a new tactic, letting all of the soil solidify except for a circle around them. It began to creep in; eventually, it would close on them, offering no ground to stand on. That is, if the couldn't get away in time.
