What: Arrival
When: around 10ish
Where: In the woods
Rating: PG-13 to be safe
Status: Active

The darkness consumed Sarah. Flashes of scenes were forced before her eyes. Memories. His memories; she could tell almost instantly. Memories of the South, of hunting with Nikolas, blood bonding and fights. Gradually the memories turned more recent. She saw herself through his eyes.
As the rough taste of rust slowed in her throat she felt a sharp pain in her chest. A lunge and the sudden stop. Silence took over where the darkness left off. She forced her eyes open and looked at Kristopher. She didn't hate him. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't. Slowly she drifted back into unconciousness. So this is what death felt like...

Sarah felt the cold, damp ground before she awoke. Opening her eyes she saw the sun shine through the trees. Stiffly she pulled herself into a sitting position. The night's events came flooding back into her memory. She placed her hand on her chest, over the area her heart was supposed to be. Nothing. She felt nothing anymore. Just cold silence. Looking down at herself she realized she was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she went to Nikolas' house. Black tank, black shorts and her long leather coat. It had to have been just last night that she was changed. But how did she get to the woods? Perhaps Kristopher took her hunting and she didn't remember. No...he was back to feeding on humans. He wouldn't have been so kind. She glanced around noticed the other two boys with her. For a moment she became worried that she had killed them. That Kristopher did take her out hunting. However when she noticed one of them grunt in their sleep she relaxed a bit more. They were alive. That was good. At least she knew she wasn't a killer...yet.

This last idea suddenly made her a little nervous. If it was only last night that she was changed...and she had no recollection of feeding...that meant that she was not only new but also a starved vampire. Oh no... she worried. She didn't want to hurt either of them. But a piece of her was still human...a witch...Hopefully she could let that be enough to hold her back until she found some sort of animal to feed on.

But it still didn't explain the two boys and the woods. And she couldn't sense or smell Kristopher, Nikolas, or even Kaleo anywhere. Something wasn't right. She decided waking up the two boys for questioning was probably the best way to go at the moment. As a reflex, Sarah went for the knife at her back to defend herself if the situation called for it. But...nothing. Her knife was...gone? A Vida witch without their knives was like a fish out of water. It just didn't work. A fish cannot survive without water much like a Vida cannot survive without their knives. Frightened she began to check her boots...nothing. No...no,no,no,no! Sarah thought over and over to herself as she checked all of her hiding places. Nothing. No knives. She was worried. Those knives were wired to her magic. She couldn't understnad what she was going to do without them.

Perhaps one of them stole them? She wondered. Standing up she called to them, "What happened?!" she couldn't think of anything better to yell at them to wake up. If either of them somehow managed to drag her from Nikolas' house and steal her knives she didn't care what it took, she was going to get answers as well as her knives returned to her.

L didn't find it strange that Domeki simply dropped the argument with him. He tended to exude an aura of confidence when he was in his element, and people tended to automatically assume that he was right when he behaved with the self-assurance he was displaying now. Like Domeki, his attention remained centered on their current, common predicament.

"I speak Japanese," L said, tilting his head, wondering how he could have missed it if Domeki had indeed been speaking something he was so familiar with. Maybe he'd been comprehending without even realizing that the languages had switched over... though, if the blond caucasian girl who professed to have no knowledge of Japanese could understand him too, there were clearly other forces at work. "I speak a lot of languages. But... I think I would have noticed, if we really were communicating differently." he sorted his thoughts in French, German, English, Russian, and Japanese, and he switched over to Arabic for the next several sentences, as an experiment of sorts.

"I agree... we should probably find out what's near here, and if there are other people around," he said in Arabic. Noticing Sarah's sudden deep breath, he turned his attention to her, slipping back to English. "Um... are you... OK?"

"It could be that you two really are speaking a language entirely different from the one I am," Domeki suggested with a slight shrug. It made no more sense to him than it did to the two others to think that they really were speaking different languages but it also made no sense to think that a Caucasian woman who professed to speak no Japanese was lying about it - or that she was able to speak another language without realizing it.

"We already know that these can translate languages instantly," he continued, tapping the cover of his journal lightly. "but we were all unconscious when we arrived here, right? If we are willing to rule out any supernatural source for our sudden ability to understand different languages, then we might have to think that whoever brought us here did something to us to allow us to understand." That thought sat very uncomfortably on him but Domeki wouldn't dismiss it out of hand - not until there was a real answer that held up against any doubts.

"There might even be something useful nearby - a building or someplace where we can shelter," he agreed, seemingly unaware of Ryuzaki's choice to change languages. What he did notice was the sudden change of breathing patterns and he, too, turned a curious glance to Sarah. "Do you need to rest a moment before we go?"
