Cracks in the Pond // Lainey & Ryan

[conduit-ryan-hartley]

"Oh thank god." Ryan said as he let out a the breath he didn’t know he was holding. A small smile graced his face for a moment before turning into a look of panic. They still weren’t in the clear yet. "We have to get you to the doctor right now." He said as he took off his jacket to wrap it around Lainey. As he did so, he noticed the small charm she grasped in her fist. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his mother’s necklace that he had lost. "How did you get that?" He said half to himself. 

But there would be times for questions later. He scooped her up off of the ground and began running towards the infirmary. As he ran, he noticed that he was shivering as well, but he didn’t know if it was from the cold, or from fear. He held her close to him, hoping that he would make it in time.

[lainey-collins]

"Doctor? Why? What happened?" Lainey mumbled, looking up at him. "Why are you wet?" She looked down and blinked, then proceeded to pass out.

Cracks in the Pond // Lainey & Ryan

[conduit-ryan-hartley]

Ryan gripped Lainey tight and brought her quickly to shore. He was freezing, soaking wet, and still feeling the pain of the electrocution, but all he could focus on was her. A million different questions raced through his head as he laid her down on the cold ground. Is she alive? Is she breathing? What do I do? Did I hurt her? 

"C’mon Lainey." he pleaded. "Please be okay. Please wake up"

[lainey-collins]

Lain felt a peircing pain in her head, causing her to return to reality. It was the same as when her neighbor was choking; the feeling of panic and death. She rolled onto her stomach, coughing up the ice cold water from the pond. She held the necklace in her hand, practically frozen into a fist. "...Shit..." Lainey breathed out, shivering violently.

I Cant Shut Up || Carth and Lainey

[carth-onassi]

"Im so sorry, i was running away from an agent." Carth said before blurting out " Who eats carrots?" Carth sighed and got up then offered his hand to help her up. "Yes im Carth, Lainey right?" Carth asked before adding "Jeez im stupid, cant remember her name." He blurted out. "Im sorry I dont know why I have to tell everyone everything." he added.

[lainey-collins]

Lainey accepted his hand and stood up, brushing herself off. "Yeah, I like carrots. Lainey, or Lain. Are you all right? She looked up at him, hands on her hips. The government did invent a truth serum but that was only applicable when asking questions.

Cracks in the Pond // Lainey & Ryan

[conduit-ryan-hartley]

Fear and adrenaline ran through Ryan as he saw Lainey fall into the icy pond. Not even a second passed from when he saw her go under to when he ran in. In his panic, he forgot that he wasn’t supposed to be going into water, but was now reminded as a few shocks ran through him. Quickly remembering an old science lesson, he dove under the water, hoping that the electricity would not only be away from the place where it is most conductive, but also ground instead of shocking Lainey. 

After he gained his power, he noticed that the electricity always ran above the water, not under. By staying under the water, there was a better chance that he could cause the least damage to both Lain and himself. He finally reached her and attempted to keep her above water and get back to shore in once piece. 

[lainey-collins]

In a half conscious state, Lain felt electricity race through her body and Ryan diving through the water like a shark. She had spent a year studying sharks, in a special online class. They had laughed but  they were already laughing, so in reality, what was new? However normally, sharks did not produce electricity. Nor did they attempt to save nerds too stupid to cross a lake and not know how to swim. Swimming had never seemed important. Lainey continued her random chain of thought as she slowly fell into unconsciousness.

I Cant Shut Up || OPEN

Today had been going great. He had gone for walk.  It was a nice walk, up until that agent had stopped him to ask him about his bow when Carth had blurted out that the shades he had looked like girls pair of shades. This was shocking since he had only just had that thought pop into his head just before saying it. Running away at top speed to avoid the situation he almost ran into someone. Blurting out a few swears and spun outta the way. “Who the hell?” He blurted out before covering his mouth.

[lainey-collins]

"Hey!" Lain landed hard on her back, choking on the carrot she had been eating. "Come on, I'm not that hard to see!" Looking up, Lainey took a second to register his face. "Carth, right? Didn't you knock me over the last time we met?"

[lainey-collins]

Cracks in the Pond // Open

[conduit-ryan-hartley]

Ryan had seen Lain walk towards the pond a while ago. He wanted to join her, but stayed back at first. He figured that everyone needed a moment to themselves. The longer he sat there though, the more he wanted to go out and catch up with her. It would give him a chance just to relax and just talk with someone. He was actually going to have to stay in one place for a while, so it was best to make some friends. No more having to worry about making friends and then having to leave them a month later.

Ryan threw on his jacket and ran out to find her. He followed the prints in the snow, which were considerably smaller than his own. When he arrived, he saw Lainey moving across the ice. The lake in general made him very nervous, but he had a really bad feeling about this. He called to her, doing his best not to startle her.

[lainey-collins]

They weren't pearls. It was  regular necklace with something like a wolf charm. Lainey reached down and picked it up, only to look back and see Ryan gesturing to her. Similarly to pressing the 'unmute' button, she suddenly heard him. At the same time, the cracking grew to a yell and Lain plunged into the water with a quick yelp. 

Freezing water flooded her lungs and Lainey fought to understand what was going on. In her hand, she gripped the necklace.

[lainey-collins]

Cracks in the Pond // Open

Lain sat by the small lake, perhaps better known as a pond, her hands locked on her ankles. The wind danced across the ice, blowing back on her face. She saw something glimmering, towards the center of the pond. It looked almost like a string of pearls half frozen in the ice. However, it was oddly familiar. 

She stood up and looked around; the area was empty except for a small plume of smoke from the Agent's cabin. The ice looked dangerous, but there was no reason to stroke the flame. She slid off her shoes, then the heavy jacket. Edging forward from the shore, Lainey sucked in her breath and took a step forward, then repeated the movement. Her eyes were fixed on the pearls- how similar they looked to one's that her mother used to wear. Lain was so fixated that she was oblivious to the slowly fracturing ice. If she could only reach it...
