Tosh, feeling uneasy, slipped on her black fingerless glove, ready to fight. "Sorry, we're closed." she said.

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:06 pm

"I have a order to pick up"

Said a voice.

"You may check the records. I will wait."

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:09 pm

"Hmmm.... sorry, the owner is asleep right now. Come back tomorrow and I promise it will be handed." Tosh said, really wishing Rei was here right now.

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:11 pm

"I require the book tonight. It was said it would be ready for me at this time. Any later, and the transaction will be canceled. I need it tonight."

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:18 pm

Tosh thought this over. She bit her lip. He obviously isn't leaving without the book. "What's the title?" Tosh asked the mysterious person.

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:20 pm

"Black Novas and the Light Within"

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:21 pm

"Author?" she asked too.

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:23 pm

"Jonathan Hawthorne" The voice replied.

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:24 pm

"Hmmm..." Tosh said slowly going to the counter, checking the books.

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:25 pm

Tosh found the book in the back shelf. It was the only book she saw not in its proper place. It was ether forgotten, or put there on purpose.

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:31 pm

Tosh found it a bit suspicious that the book would be there. She thought it over, but now she didn't care. Something was fishy, about that man especially. She set the book down quietly as she went to the door.

"Sorry I couldn't find it." Tosh said, waiting for a response.

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:34 pm

The man sighed, and opened the door, entering.

"I was trying to be polite, but he promised to leave it unlocked if this should happen."

He payed up 300$ and picked up the book.

"Be sure to lock the door."

The man left, closing the door.

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:36 pm

Tosh's eyes widened, not noticing the door was unlocked. She just watched as the man left the money and took the book. She immediate;y shut the door, locking it for sure.

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:38 pm

The door was instantly broken down, reveling shadows of people, one of them the man who just bought the book. He was dead in their hands and tossed aside, the book in their hands.

"We're looking for Mr. Hawthorne. Don't bother lying, we know he's here."

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:43 pm

Tosh's eyes widens at what just happened. She felt scared but then clutched her hands tightly. Gritting her teeth. she said, "So you guys are the gang after him?"

by **zergio** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:55 pm

The men walked forward, reveling military uniforms.

"We are here to arrest and execute him. The gang is long gone, but we can't let a Hawthorne live."

Another stepped forward with papers in his hand.

"Jonathan Hawthorne, aka the Father of Mako Hawthorne and the Grandfather of Will Hawthorne, wrote the book "Black Nova's, and the Light Within" Years ago. This book contains destructive alchemy that only those within a certain bloodline can use, and that only those in the Generation of the Hawthornes can read. Jonathan Hawthorne and Sally Hawthorne used their smarts and power to end a war years ago. They killed off the enemy, but our allies as well. Since they married and had children, the ability to read and use the Alchemy fused. Mako Hawthorne used it when he was under attack by enemy's. Again, they were killed, but he also killed innocents. and now Will Hawthorne is the last one left. Once Will Hawthorne is dead, then the alchemy within "Black Nova's and the Light Within" will vanish."

Another stepped forward.

"Jonathan and Mako never paid for their crimes, so Will shall take it all. He is charged with treason, killing off the innocent, tampering with military affairs, the killing of military men, and the creation of dark, destructive alchemy. He will be executed."

by **Toshii** Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:59 pm

Tosh couldn't believe what she was hearing. That military has gone mad. Then again, she's not sure who is madder, the Military or Will's grandparents. Anger boiled within Tosh. "WHY DOES HE HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S DUMB BEHIND STUFF!!!" she yelled at them with pure hatred. These are the voices that killed her family and her friends that went through poverty with her.

by **zergio** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:06 am

"We do as we are told" Said the general.

"We do what we have to to preserve the peace, whether we like it or not. The Hawthornes alchemy is a threat to us. If one should be recruited into the resistance, then the military could have serious damage done to them, not to mention the town. We have to end the line here before the Hawthornes turn on everyone."

Although the orders were inhuman, these soldiers had hearts. They were doing what they were told would keep the peace.

"We don't wish to hurt you. Move aside."

by **Toshii** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:13 am

"No!! He's innocent I tell you! Even if he can use it, he's too kind to even think about it!! JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!"

by **zergio** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:20 am

The military took action. One ran up to Tosh, but didn't attack or use alchemy. He hugged her as the others ran upstairs to fetch Will.

"If we had a choice in this matter, we would leave him be."

He looked into her eyes.

"Just like how we would of chosen for you and your family to have been left unharmed."

He looked down.

"I was on the team that chased you and your friends years ago......"

The man wasn't lying. He was one of the ones who detained her friends.

"That was the hardest thing I ever had to do...... I don't ask forgiveness, but understanding. Not of why we did it, but of what we really wanted."

He pulled away.

"I wanted to leave you all be."

This man was no young spunky guy. He was much older, in his fifties in fact.

by **Toshii** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:25 am

Tosh just stared at him. So many things were rushing through her head at once. It was all but spiral. She didn't say anything as very strong winds swept into the building.

The men that went upstairs was swept off and tossed outside before they could even get near to the door.

by **zergio** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:27 am

Before Tosh knew it, the man knocked her out.

"I never wished for this" Whispered the man. The others got back onto their feet and went back upstairs, the wind dead.

by **Toshii** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:28 am

Tosh got knocked unconscious, the world just pitch black, not knowing what will happen next.

by **zergio** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:30 am

Will was asleep in his bed as the military busted in. They tied him up and slung him over their shoulder. They began to leave with Will, the man placing Tosh into her bed, also leaving a note before leaving with the others.

by **Toshii** Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:32 am

Tosh awoken , somewhat dizzy. She wasn't sure what happened, but she plucked the not from beside her bed, reading it.
