"I know."
The words surprise me as they come out of my mouth. But somehow I did know. Somehow I had always known.
How could I have not known? He was always there to rescue me, to take care of me, to provide safety and comfort.
I reach into my pocket to feel the security of my rosary, but know before I move my hand that it is no longer there. So many of the things from my life up until this point seem to be missing. I feel cold... or is it warm? I pull the blanket and jacket tighter around me.
It is at moments like these that no amount of schooling could have benefitted me. It is at times like these that I don't know what to say or how to feel.
...But I do feel... something.
I look over to where Peter sits by the window, his face half shrouded in darkness, half ensconsed in light. His face shows the mirror of what is inside of him; he is a man of half darkness and half light. He is a perfect picture of the eternal struggle, and I wonder, suddenly which side will win in his life. His features have always been hard, and so hard to read, but lately there has been a softness. Lately he has been standing in the light.
I sit and stare at the man before me, trying to put into words the feelings that now emerge and erupt upon me in ways that are incapable of being captured into words. Even if I could figure out what it is that I am feeling, I don't know if I could bring myself to speak it outloud. My thoughts seem to contradict other thoughts that I have had in the past, ones that I knew to be truth. I look down at the thin blue blanket, holding it between my fingers. I run them along the fabric, almost able to see through it to the other side... almost, but not quite. It is like trying too se through these emotions.
I do not speak. I know that if I let these words come out of my mouth, that my life will be forever changed and that I will never again be able to go back to the way that things were.

I teleport us to Cuba, to the Red Infinity resort. Many Red Infinity personale are taking their vacations now since the movements are so utterly crushed. We go to our room which overlooks the ocean.
"A week is all we are taking and if something comes up...we leave at once." Kaschei is always uptight.

Illidan is sad that Kaieka has left him. With a heavy heart he returns to the Ministry of Terror. He sees that his master Kaschei has gone on a holiday.
"He labours too hard, and it is good he has taken a holiday," Illidan says to himself. He sits in his master's vacant office and starts to do some work.

"yes my love...err my friend."
Machiavelli grimaced. He hated to show affection like that because he was unsure of how Kaschei may take it. He quickly changed the subject.
"Shall we go swimming? Or perhaps horseback riding? Or some other meaningless task that will afford a smile from your lips. Or...we could stay in for today."
A smirk eased its way to Macs face as he looked at Kaschei.

Bassarov gets a hammer and some nails and starts to work on the frame again. Building is a slow process and Bassarov is not a carpenter.

Jade slowly stands up and smiles, a sick smile. "Time to rid the world of a few souls." He stares up and closes his eyes, still smileing. "None of us are innocent."
Jade pulls open the door to his compartment while pulling out a gun he fires 2 shoots into the compartment across his. Screams, running, yelling.
Jade stands still as the people run out of the compartment. Others open thier doors to see what the gun shots were about.
Jade looks around, staring coldly into each person's eyes that he looks at. A stare so heartless, sick, and cruel they actually siver. He smiles again.
"Boo." Jade says. They siver and stare horrifed at Jade. He rasies his gun and shots a man, who was too scared to move. The people on the train seemed to get pulled out of thier terror as they run.

"Well yes we do need some help, and if you're willing to help then please do," Kai said.
He continued putting the metal supports in the ground.

"Very well then," Eragon said.
He pushed all 4 main supports down with his foot. Eragon mesured the hight of it out of the ground to be 100 yards. He picked up a titanium plate and started to burn 6*6 squares in them.

With a great stretch Cayden gets up from his sleeping spot on the ground. He pops his neck with a great crack and proceeds to gather up his furs. He slings them over his back in a bundle and moved on through the forest.
~Me thinks i need to find a better place to sleep tonight. Meh back can't take much more o' this.~
He goes on towards the town. Perhaps he could find a suitable hotel or space somewhere.

Kai teleported to the hardware shop yet again, and bought 80 fire/bullet proof windows. He came back to Eragon who was almost finished with half of the squares for the windows in the titanium plate. Kai walked over to the supplies that were from the church. He picked up as many frames as he could find and started to fit them into the titanium plates.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of gunfire on the train. I look to Peter and then stand up and go to the door of the compartment. I stick my head out of the door and see a man brandishing a gun. I see the bodies of dead people that he has shot lying on the floor of the train. Their blood mingling with the flower print of the carpet, turning the roses a deeper crimson.
I have a flashback to the bodies of the homeless, littering the street. I could do nothing.
I see their faces as my eyes lock on his, and I stand there transfixed. His eyes are so cold, devoid of feeling, devoid of compassion. A shiver runs down my spine.

Following instructions was harder than he had thought - because he never had to do it. But even looking at his own schematics, he found it rather difficult. This and that with measurements scattered in seemingly random places. What were all these numbers?
Zero forsook the map and began building the supports. He didn't need it, everyone else did. It just sort of came naturally.
((What is the past participle of forsake?))

Jade smiles as he sees the girl. He kneels down and runs his fingers along the blood-stained carpet. he slowly licks the blood from his fingers before standing and starting to slowly walk toward her.
"Hello, what is your sin?" Jade says in his death voice. Today, he was enjoying killing greatly, so he kept smileing his sick cold smile.
"You should know the name of your killer. I am... Jade the Reaper. Who would be this unlucky soul?"

Rin looks around and sighs.
She walks up to Zero and taps him on the shoulder.
"Um... excuse me, but what can I do?"

Kai finally put all the frames into the titanium plate. He then took the inside walls and put the other half of the window frames into it. He then took the Titanium plate/outer wall and bolted it on to the supports.
Eragon: Eragon picked up the inside walls and bolted it onto the other side of the support. After a long time 1 side of the building was done.
