Of course, I was only kidding around with him. Nobody died onset. Bekkah was too good at what she did to allow that sort of thing. In fact, death really slowed down when magic came into the picture. Never been that big on it, myself, but...it comes in handy.

The director's face lit up when he saw me. As lit up as a happy scowl can be, at least. "Jackson--"

"Ken."

"Alphonso. You're just in time! We've decided to skip ahead to the freefall fight betweent you and Sky. You up for it, Burt?"

I gulped silently. Even with the airbag and the various magicians altering gravity for the fall, I still didn't like heights. But I needed this job, so...

"Yea. I'm ready...come on, man," I called back to Sky. "You ready to put all that training to work?"

"Hell yeah, awesome." Sky was looking pumped. He had been looking forward to this scene ever since he got a look at the script. "Just make sure ya don't puke, okay?"

"Wow thanks." I muttered sarcastically. I was too busy trying to brace myself for the next scene to think of anything else to say.

Me and him took the long walk over to the studio doors, exiting the building and heading outside where the freefall was gonna take place. They had some magicians messing with the wind to make it look like me and Sky were falling instead of being suspended with the air. Still didn't help, even though the farthest I could fall would be about twenty feet. It would still be a two story drop.

But as it turned out, I wasn't the one to make that two story plunge. Just as Sky came at me, rehearsing his lines;

"Just so you know, my dogs love street patties!"

His harness snapped clean and he dropped like a stone. If he had screamed, I didn't hear it. I didn't hear him hit the ground, either. All I could here from the distorted tunnel was the sound of outside air rushing in.

Somebody had made Sky die for real.

As I was carefully lowered to the ground, the director ran over to me.

"Harvey! What the hell happened up there?! You were suppo--"

He stopped there as my fist collided with his head, which collided with the wall ten feet back. His body justs stood there.

Looks like I had to go see Bekkah again.

(Nice XD )

Everyone was freaking out, running around and making sure nothing else was going horribly wrong. A couple of people were yelling for people to 911 and others were whipping out their phones. A few people were checking out Skylar's body. Several simply stood dumbstruck at the scene before them.

I was one of the several, my fist still stuck out at a ninety degree angle from meeting the director's face. All I could was stare at was the people huddling around the mound that I'm pretty sure used to be my best friend. I grit my teeth until I couldn't feel my jaw and my fist was clenched so tight my arm started to shake.

I don't think I was sad, or even angry though...

I think I was confused.

Yeah, that was it. It just didn't make sense. Even if the the mages keeping an eye on us weren't there, Sky wouldn't have died if he fell. My years of training with him let me know he could take a hit. How could he just fall...

Even more confusing was that strength. Last I checked, I couldn't just punch people's heads off (even if Billy Boy had it coming), so that was why I had to speak with Bekkah. I just had to shake the staff and mages coming toward me.

"Ken," one of the mages said. "We're going to need you to come with us."

I scoffed. "Why? You think I would kill my best friend? Look, buddy, gravity control was your job. So unless you want your next job to be the pulled pork on table 9, you'd better get the fuck out of my way."

The mage backed off, but I didn't like the look in his eye. It was kind of knowing. A look that the common air manipulator mage shouldn't have. There was definitely something wrong, and I thought Bekkah might know something about it.

It took me ten minutes to get to her trailer through all the commotion, but it only took me ten seconds to realize Bekkah had definitely had something to do with it.

The door was already open, so I poked my head in to see if she was there. I found her with her back to the door looking at something in her hand. I knocked on the door front and she wheeled around.

"Oh. It's you." Bekkah put whatever it was she was looking at down and stood infront if it so I couldn't get a good veiw. "I've been hearing a lot of commotion. Your buddy fell or something?"

It was the way she was acting. If she was innocent she would have been yelling at me or anyone for not bringing her in sooner.

"It's worse than it seems, Reba. You're gonna want to come and see."

She game me a look, but I was surpirised when she actually did follow me to the scene. Quickly she was taken to Sky. I knew she was cold but she didn't even show any sort of sympathy to his remains...

"You know," she said, looking up at me, "I bet if he had landed on the bag, his spleen might not have ruptured."

I almost slapped her. "My best friend is lying in a pile on the ground! Show some sympathy!"

She laughed. "What am I supposed to do, click my heels? I'm a Healer, not a damn fairy. Maybe if you had let me talk, then--"

"THEN WHAT, BEKKAH? THEN WHAT?!" I was shaking by this point. My arms felt like they were on fire.

She looked down. "Well...your arms probably wouldn't be on fire."

I looked at my arms and screamed, shaking the fire off. "What the...what...WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

Bekkah turned her back on me, looking off in the distance. Boy, she really kicked my ass at acting. She turned back to me and sighed. "Well...you have powers and the sages are trying to kill you. BYE!"
Then she ran off.

(Well that's one way to put it out there XD "BTW ur in danger lolbai!"

And sometimes I think we're playing completely different versions of Ken XD Mine's a bit more... understated than yours is...)


"What the-" That made no sense whatsoever. I wanted to chase after her but she was gone in a flash. Sages? What was she even talking about?!

I looked to Skylar's body. He seemed to stare back. Apparently someone rolled him over while I was getting Bekkah. It was unnerving to say the least...

For a moment it seemed his chest was still moving...

"Komoyachi!"

I turned and a man I didn't recognize was there. The police? He approached me, and glanced in confusion at my charred sleeves but said nothing.

"I see you've gotten yourself into some trouble. What would you say happened?"

I just stared back. He knew me, but I'd never seen him before. He spoke as if he's known me for years. "What would I say happened? Just look!" I gestured behind me with an open plam, still staring the man in the face. "That used to be Skylar, my friend, one of the people I've known for the longest."

The man looked beyond me, raised his eyebrows and looked back to me. "Are you sure about that?"

I turned behind me. Skylar's body was gone... Not only that. The whole area seemed to be frozen in time. I think I've had enough of this psycho crap.

(I can tell you had absolutely no idea what to do next =P But could you make it so id doesn't stretch the page as much?)

"I'm sure you can tell that things are changing for you, Ken..." I turned to face the man, who looked me in the eye with serious gaze. "You're going to need to start running. Never stop, you hear? If you stop moving they'll find you before you can even start what you're meant to do." He pulled awhat looked to be a business card from his pocket and handed to me. It read:

Christian Gassaway
Accountant - Confidant
555-7904


Gassaway continued. "You keep that safe. I wouldn't use a cell phone, 'cause they can track that, but only use it in emergencies. You're going to run into a lot of those. I'm sure you can manage to slip by since you're not that popular an actor."

I looked up at him. I was pretty tall, but he was at least a head taller than me. I could have asked many questions, but the only one that seemed the most important was: "Where do I need to go?"

"Anywhere." Gassaway said matter-of-factly. "But stay in secret. Go by a different name if it comes to that. The cops are going to want to question you after you killed your director, so you've got two different groups to worry about." He turned to leave.

"Hold it! Skylar's body..."

Gassaway called over his shoulder. "Your friend just needs a rest. You'll see him again..."

Wind started to gush around me and the noise pounds in my ears as the world started to move again. Gassaway seemed to dissapear with the wind.

"Komoyachi!" I hear Bekkah's voice behind me. "You'd better stay put! After what you've done you'll be behind bars for sure!"

(I had an idea, but my mind was elsewhere. Mostly I wanted to see your reaction to a commercial break)

Okay...that was definitely weird. But I knew one thing for sure: I wasn't gonna keep standing here just because Bekkah told me to. I bolted.

I don't know how long I was running before I stopped. At some point I must have left the set because there were people pointed at me. Some looked excited, others kind of cautious. I had to get out of California. I was too well known. Gassaway told me to go anywhere...said things would be changing. So, I kept running, on and on, until I ended up on a completely deserted road surrounded by trees. I know I was supposed to go anywhere, but I was seriously lost right now. I guess I needed a--

"HURRY, HURRY, STEP RIGHT UP AND WIN A NEW CAR!!!!"

Huh...well...that'll work. I looked to around to find I was now standing in the middle of a crowded carnival, rides and all. There, off to the left, was a guy on stilts with a big old fashioned red, white, and blue top hat on. And went over to him.

"Hey!" I called out to the guy. "What do you have to do to win the car?"

The guy looked down and handed me a large mallet and sent me over to a pit with a car in it. "It you can destroy this car within the time limit with this mallet, we'll give you a brand new Hummer H3!"

I looked at the mallet, then the car in the hole. Without turning around, I asked, "How long is the time limit?"
When I turned back around, the carnival had changed entirely. The rides had become rusted and decayed. The tents looked like they'd all burned down decades ago. Skeletons that I assumed had been the carnival goers littered the ground. I looked for the guy on the stilts. He looked the same, for the most part, only his clothes and flesh were sagging a little bit more then they should've been.

The guy laughed. It came out all wrong, like he'd had his voice box taken out and put back in upside down. He gestured at the hole. "You crush the car before the walls crush you! Now get!"

And then he kicked me into the pit. Which would've been fine, only...the mallet was decaying in my hand.

(You didn't change the page stretch >< Do it or else I'll force feed you some of that Caplanyugan~)

"Man, Gassaway wasn't kidding when he said I'd run into trouble...!" The mallet turned to sand and fell to the ground, like what you'd find in an hourglass. Likewise time was running out. The walls in the pits inched forward at an incredibly sublte rate, but I could just imagine myself squished up against the car as the both of us were compacted into a cube. It hardly seemed like a worthwhile fate.

First I tried kicking the car, but pain shot up my leg. I then tried tearing off one of the mirrors, but it seemed whatever power I had before was gone.

Power... Yeah. It was like when my arms caught fire. That had to be me doing that, so maybe I could do it again! I flicked my arms out in front of me, but they didn't catch. I tried imagining hot thoughts, but nothing materialized. In frustration I shouted, "Flame on!" Still nothing.

I hit the hood of the car with an angry fist. To my surprise it created a sizable dent. "Is that all I need?" I start smashing the hood with both fists like a crazed gorilla, happily punching holes through the metal if it meant my survival. Even kicks were working to dent the doors and that damned automobile. I take a walk back and hurdled my body in the side of the car, and it teeters on it's side tires for several seconds before it crashes back down on all fours.

"Okay, let's try this then!" I throw my hands in front of me and a hot stream of fire engulfs the car. I find myself giggling like a pyromaniac.

I looked up at the crazed stilt guy. "Okay, I destroyed the car! Now let me out of here!"
But he just kept standing there. "Hey! You paying attention! LET ME OUT!"

The guy fell over, bones on stilts. It creeped me out because his skull was still open from laughing.

"Okay," I said outloud, more to calm myself then to ask for help. "I guess I just gotta stop these walls like I beat up the car." I ran at the wall and punched with all my might. At first I thought it worked, until I realized I was flying backward with a broken fist.

Ah, shit, I thought as I collided against the car.

The walls were closing in. I was all prepared to die, crushed to death because my stupid mysterious powers didn't help any. But suddenly, the walls stopped moving. I slowly rolled off the car to try and see who stopped them. Bad move, because I landed on a piece of the car's bumper. The pain threatened to make me black out. I was just able to make out a familiar scoff as I lost it.

"Stupid, I told you I was worried!"

Shock of my life I looked up to see Bekkah looking down at me. She was leaning over the edge of the pit, her hand outstretched. Not one to lose a golden oppurtunity at the hands of the Devil, I hopped ontop of the car and tried to focus all my power in my legs. I leaped, my fingers brushing against Bekkah's before landing on my feet ontop of the car.

"Get closer!" I yelled.

"Like I can do that!" She pulled back her hand and stood up, her hands in front of her forming a circle with her thumbs and fore fingers. I started to feel lightness at my feet, no doubt from whatever she was up to. Looks like she was giving me a boost.

"Thanks! Should I jump again?"

She didn't respond, her eyes shut tight and a focused scowl on her face. Guess I should do it.

I leap again, this time my good hand manages to find the ledge and grabs on. I call up for help, and I can feel my body grow heavy again as she comes down to pull me up. It's a struggle, and I can hear the car start to crunch from the walls closing in, but we managed to get me out.

I rolled onto the solid ground, sitting up and trying to catch my breath. Bekkah was still standing, probably looking down at me again. I was just about to mutter a thank you when she back handed the side of he head.

"I told you to stay put, didn't I?"

I don't know how long I was out, but when I came to, the first thing I realized is we weren't in that godforsaken carnival anymore. The next thing was Bekkah staring me in the face from mere inches away.

"AH!"

"AH!"

After we finished screaming, she proceeded to smack me in the forehead. "Baka! Didn't I tell you there were sages coming to kill you?"

I started to question the use of "baka," but thought better of it. "Yes, but then this guy came..."

I told her what had happened when Sky's body disappeared and then showed her the business card. "He told me to run, so that's what I did."

Bekkah sighed heavily. "You really need to start paying attention magic, especially since you can use it now. We've known each other for, what, eight years? Of course the first thing the enemy will want is to turn us away from each other!"

"Well," I started, throwing my hands up, "it didn't exactly make me put my life in your hands, the way you ran off after telling me some psycho sages were coming for me, you know?"

Before I knew what was happening, Bekkah had slapped me across the face. "My god, you're stupid! I'm a Healer, therefore I can use magic, therefore I saw the Gas-bag coming! Of course you won't have seen him until he wanted you to, since you can't control your magic yet."

"Sure, I can! I have just to get angry, and then--"

She held up her hand to stop me. "You're full of magic, Ken, not gamma radiation. Anger doesn't control your power, it just gives the excess magic somewhere to go. I'm guessing you've got a back up reserve of at least ten years worth of unused magic in you."

I almost fell over. "Ten years?! Wha...that's not possible!"

"Isn't it? Sky didn't have any magic, which is why he fell out the sky and you didn't. You magic level retained the lower gravity level around you as a subconscious form of pro--GET DOWN!"

And that's when all hell broke loose.

Not knowing what to expect, I threw my hands over my head and ducked, Bekkah doing the same. Something whistled in the sky and smashed into the ground not that far away from where we were. We both got up and looked to see a fairly small and smouldering crator. I was curious to see what it was, but Gassaway's warning came back in my mind.

"We should keep moving." I said to no one in particular. I don't see why Reba's deciding to chase after me, but if she's gonna she might as well learn to run more.

I turn on my heel and start moving, but she calls me to stop. I don't comply...

"You idiot, stop!"

This time a crator smashes right in front of me, and the force knocks me backwards. I catch me balance, and this time I get a better look at what's inside the crator infront of me...

I looked inside the crater for a full minute before I realized what I was staring at. When I finally did realize it, I noticed it was making some sort of noise.

"Hey, buddy! How's it hangin'?"

I was staring at Sky's disembodied head. But it was talking to me. I looked at Bekkah. "You're seeing this, right? This isn't some Evil Dead type of thing, is it?"

She rolled her eyes. "No, it has nothing to do with that stupid movie. But we do seem to be dealing with a really sick necromancer for him to be attacking us with your friend's body parts."

"Parts?" I asked, looking around the room. Sure enough, Sky's foot was sticking out the wall. in the ceiling was one of his ears. I was still glancing around the room when one of Sky's hands collided with my neck.

"Gah! Sky," I coughed out, looking at his head, "can't you make your hand stop strangling me?"

Sky's head rolled around in the pit to get a better look at the hand. "Nah, sorry. It's still tethered to the necromancer's power."

Bekkah jumped up. "Okay, then I'll be right back to go stop him. Bye!"

"No, wait!" But she was already gone. She could have just burned the hand or something. Wait, I could burn the hand or something! But then Sky coughed loudly. I started to ask him how he was able to cough, but thought of a better question.

"Uh, Sky, if the hand is still tethered to the necromancer and trying to kill me, why are you able to talk to me but not kill me?"

"Oh," he said, trying to shrug, but remembering he had no shoulders. "That's because I'm tethered to you now."

"Really?"

"Duh."

"Wow."

"Yea. Oh, and don't burn the hand off yourself, you'll just hurt yourself and have a burnt possessed hand trying to kill you."

I got ready to respond, but I got hit in the forehead with something, then I fell to the floor in a daze. I heard Sky's sharp intake of breath before he said "Oh, that'll have been my shoulder. Sorry!"

Then I passed out.

(Sorry for a delay, Work was incessant :D And how about we stop knocking Ken out. You'd think he'd be more manlier than that~)

I think I hate my life.

I mean seriously, it sucks now. I had a good gig for once. The lead in some low budget movie with a bipolar director, working opposite my best friend. The fateful day when my world would implode on itself won't be on my list of "Good Days" anytime soon.

It would have been nice to be reunited with Skylar without some necromancer flinging his body parts at me. It also would be nice if Bekkah would at least stay in one place and offer me some more insight on these supposed Sages that are coming after me.

It would be nice to be conscious, too...
