I`m Awake

[Aiden]

Aiden followed after her quickly, getting closer and closer until a sudden thought had come into mind.  The murepeople!  Aiden looked around for Stacey quickly, and tried to swim after her even faster than before.  He had no way to warn her from under the water so the only choise he had was to swim.

((Merpeople.  ;) ))

Stacey turned to smiled at Aiden, who was still about fifteen feet from her. Her roled over so she was swimming backwards. She didn`t see the slimy figure that came up behind her.

((Dun dun duuun!))

[Aiden]

((Thanks.  I didn't know how it was spelled.  =p ))

Stacey may not have seen the figure that was behind her but Aiden had.  He quickly took out his wand that was in his pocket, and pointed it at the figure.  Aiden swam even faster than before so he could get a better aim at the creature.

((Anytime. It`s just a curse that I have for reading as much as I do. Increased vocabulary and spelling skills. =P ))

Stacey then saw the look on Aiden`s face. He was closer now, but she turned around. A large air bubble escaped her mouth as she pushed her hands toward the creature. Fire exploded from her palms in waves, diluted by the water.

[Aiden]

Aiden was now in a close enough range to in the creature.  He pointed his wand at the creature, and murmured a spell under the water.  Instantly a bright light hit the creature, and it fell deeper into the dark water below.

Stacey watched the creature for a moment, then pulled Aiden upward to the surface. She broke the water, gasping. "Thank... you." She said after he had surfaced, too. She pushed her hair out of her face, revealing her brown eyes. "That thing would have probably dragged me down."

[Aiden]

Aiden coughed out some water that was in his lungs.  He shook his head and mumbled, "Don't.....mention...it."  He said. He began to swim towards the shore slowly.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey was close behind Aiden, but her stroakes were longer, so she caught up with him easily. It seems like every time I come out here I get attacked." She said crossly.

[Aiden]

Aiden finally managed to get to the shore.  He sat layed down on his back, and layed one of his hands on his stomache, his sides heaving.  "I know.  Its...like danger is attracted to you."  Aiden pointed out between breaths.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey flopped down besides Aiden, breathing heavily. "Ya know, it`s not exactly my fault." She replied, unconcsiously rubbing her right wrist.

[Aiden]

Aiden glanced to the side to see her rubbing her wrist.  "Are you okay?"  He asked quietly.

[potter_fan122]

"Hmm?" Stacey asked, lost in thought. "What, yeah, I`m fine. Why would I--" Then she felt her own fingers against her skin. "Oh," She said, looking to her arm. "Yes. I am fine. Just some irritability with the aftermath of a spell." She said grimly.

When Stacey had first met Aiden, she had been kidnapped from Lavy`s husband Neo. He had put a magic bracelet on to keep her powers from her.

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at her seriously.  He sat up even though his muscles and limbs protested it.  He winced at the soreness. 
Oh, I'm sorry Stacey.  I didn't mean for it to hit you."  He apologized quickly, crawling over to her.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey sat up, too, even though her arms were a little sore. "You didn`t hit me, not even close. It`s something that happened years ago." She assured.

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at her wrist, and stopped.  He sat down where he was.  "What happened?"  He asked with an exausted edge to his tone of voice.  Aiden reached for her uninjured hand slowly.
