Hey, sup? Kasumi here.
How do you like Outsider so far? This isn't nearly the end of my ideas, I'm just stuck right now. So look forward to more chapters, but for now we're taking a break.
Also: Look for the new poll in the top of the left sidebar!*
*Haha, fail. I meant right. :P

Chapter 5
Soleil
My ears picked out the sound of everyone getting up.
"Soliel!" Ciel called, and I got up and jumped over to her branch, "I need you to stay here, in case Lily comes back."
"Why do I have to?" I whined, hoping I would sound just annoying enough to go. "It's because I'm blind, isn't it!" I pouted. Okay, so I knew that wasn't why, but I wanted to go with them, not trapped here. "I could sense any danger, help find food, stand guard, fight, and--"
"No, hun, that's not why," Cora said in a soothing voice, interrupting my tirade "We need all those skills, but for something else. Well, maybe not the food thing, 'cause we have some back at our place, but still," She went on, "We need someone here to hold down the fort. In case Lily shows up, the people who took her, or we come back."
I crossed my arms, and turned away a little.
Ciel sighed, "Please, we need you to do this."
I muttered something under my breath and started walking away, throwing over my shoulder, "Fine. But you owe me!"

Here's a list of some of my favourite hobbies.
Surprising people
Defeating the baddies
Hanging with my friends
Making bombs
So, as you can imagine, I'm gonna combine 1, 2 and 4! I love to make bombs; I can always tell which wires are which, so I don't have a problem.
"Hmmm......Ace's alarm clock, check; car battery", now where did I get that, you may ask? I collect them for an emergency, but only 3 or 4, and I keep a stash here.
I finished making the bomb about half an hour later. You may be thinking 'Aww, why don't you tell us how you made it?' There is no freaking way I will tell you how to make a bomb! I think the world has enough crazy people, like my mother.... My eyes dull and I shake my head. Now..... Let's see.....
I rolled by cloudy blue blind eyes, "Oh wait, I can't!" I say out loud. Snap! My head whips around at the sound of a braking branch.
Where is she! I hear from someone's mind. I can just make out a radio,
"-Pssh- I -Psssh- the target -Psssh- in -Psssh- house." My head starts to spin with all the toughts that are coming from the people outside. 1, 2, 3- 5- 8! Eight people out there surrounding the house and a truck with 4 people in it. Wow! I feel so... wanted... but they should know by know they need more people. I pick up the bomb and climb up the stairs, locate the door to the roof and climb out.
There she is! Up on the roof! One of the men thought. I hold the bomb over my head and chuck it down-wards.
A man screams "Bomb!"just as another man is screaming "Oh fu-!" and I'm thinking Any second now...and they're cut off with a --
"Mr. Zlo wants to see you...." One of the men snicker in my ear, my eyes widened in horror. Not him! I think quickly before a sharp pain exploded in the side of my head and I black out.
Not him....

BOOOOOMMM
Even though I can't see, I can still feel the shock waves, the sound, the heat... It was a pretty good bomb. I step off the roof and land neatly on the ground without a sound. My mind scans around me. Seven of the men out of twelve dead; I could have done better. Note to self: Work on aiming under pressure. I realise that I'm not the only conscious person here, and before I could run, or even kick them, two men grab my arms. I've never been shy of using crotch shots, so when I start kicking, and my foot colides with a satisfying Thump and a short cry of pain, I smiled and was rewarded by being slugged in the face, and I think it cracked my cheek. I know the skin split. Jerk! I think. Well, I didn't actually think jerk, but let's just say I thought jerk. Then I let out a cry as one of the men twist my arm in an awkward angle. Stop! I think desperately, You're going to break my--! Snap!. I let out a chocked sob. And there it goes! I keep struggling even if one of my arms is crying out in pain and useless."Mr. Zlo wants to see you...." One of the men snicker in my ear, my eyes widened in horror. Not him! I think quickly before a sharp pain exploded in the side of my head and I black out.
Not him....

Chapter 6
I climbed out of the water shivering with the cold. I nearly froze, but that was.... I don't know how to describe it. The underwater cave behind the waterfall... all the fish.... They were like nothing I'd ever seen before. Either they were super-advanced fish, or I'm getting weirder by the minute. Either way, I could communicate with them, like the haunting melody of a half forgotten song echoing through your head. Who said poetry was dead? I could feel a crackling through the water, like electricity. The rushing in my ears. They were... upset. Angry.
I gathered my clothes up, trying not to get them too wet, and climbed up the rocks, trying to find a place to sit that's out of the direct line of trees, but also so I could see anyone approaching, and lots of sun and sun-warmed rocks, and fairly comfortable. Let me tell you, not easy to come by. I laid my clothes out, then settled down beside them, trying to get comfortable. I rolled onto my side, and curled up, trying to sort through my jumbled thoughts and feelings, to forget where I was in unconsciousness.

*****
I stood up with the pounding of the waterfall ringing in my ears, driving out any other thought. That was before I realized I wasn't near the waterfall. Suprisingly, I was fully clothed, but not in those flimsy skirts and t-shirts the real Lily wears. I was wearing my favoured outfit, my black leather jacket and black pants.
After I had finished checking to see that I was wearing clothes, I started inspecting my surroundings. I walked past metal crates scatered around, sometimes in a pattern, but mostly not. There were lots of old pipes in the ceiling, and where they were missing, you could more often than not find them on the ground somewhere. I kept walking past crates and pipes for nearly fifteen minutes, and I deduced that I was in a large warehouse or shipping yard.
"You know that already..." I heard an unmistakably male voice say, just around the corner, it sounded like.
I shoved myself into the small space between two crates, flattening myself against one of them, trying to make myself as invisible as possible when I fell right through it. I nearly fell through the floor, too, but just by instinct, I started to levitiate. In the floor. I thought: if I can do this, I bet I can fly, too! Thankfully, I was right. I started back towards the voices, when I suddenly froze, realizing that whoever was talking might be able to see me. By the same instinct that told me to levitate and fly, I turned invisible. Wow.
I jumped of the ground to get myself going, then flew up to the ceiling of the warehouse, searching for the people who were talking earlier.

Chapter 4
Cora
"You met who?" Gaped Drake when Soliel and Ciel were recounting what happened around the world.
Soliel stuck her tongue out at Drake, "Man, she's good," Ace whispered to me and I snickered, "She can't even see him."
Ciel rolled her eyes, "Yeah, and all the other Rebel Team Leaders, who work under us!" She sighed, "Now that we're all clear on that, let's move on. Cora, would you like to bring them up to date?"
Yeah, dump it all on me, wouldja? I thought at Ciel, but I started retelling the story we'd agreed on. "You guys already know that Lily's missing, right? But she's been gone for a while. Ciel and I have our suspicions."
Drake's eyes were wide, Ace was staring at me and Ciel intently. Soliel was just wandering around aimlessly.
"Whenever she's gone, it's usually for six to eight days, and now it's been about the same time now, and she never tells anyone beforehand. I was questioning, but Ciel connected it."
"Four or five days is the average time for going by foot through the forest to the closest town." Continued Ciel. "And one or two days to be picked up and flown to a destination, and flown back to the town."
"In a helicopter, right?" Clarified Ace, ever so helpfully.
"Well, duh!" I muttered a reply.
"Just checking," Ace muttered back. Soliel rolled her eyes, but I could see her holding in her laughter.
"We think someone's been picking her up. They aren't on our side," I said, staring them down. "And neither is Lily."
*****
After spending an hour for debating, and finally deciding to go looking for Lily, to get some answers, we head off to try and get some sleep, but then we realise it's probably better to stick together for the time being, so Ace, Drake, Ciel, Soliel and I find our respective sleeping branches in the multi-purpose ceiling of our tree house, and they manage to catch a few Zs, but my sleep, well, let's just say it wasn't very restful.
Just when I though everyone had gone to sleep, "Can't sleep?" Ace's voice asked me from the shadows of the branches on the other side of the tree house. I got up from the fork of two branches that I was lying in, and leapt from branch to over to where Ace's voice was coming from. "Me neither," He said, most likely because he took me coming over as a no.
"What's keeping you awake?" I asked him, pitching my voice low, as so not to wake anyone else.
"I don't know, I just can't fall asleep. I mean, you just dumped something really big on us. It's really unsettling."
"I know, and we're going to get some answers. Lily can't hide from us forever, she'll have to come out sooner or later, and it's going to be on our terms."
"Just don't do anything too reckless," He said, "Good night,"
When he thought I was out of earshot, I heard him mumble "I don't know what I'd do without you..."
"What's keeping you awake?" I asked him, pitching my voice low, as so not to wake anyone else.

Chapter 3
Geez, could this get any harder? This place is like a maze! I thought pushing my way through the brambles of the forest. Cora must be freaking. I thought sarcasticaly, rolling my eyes, As if I care! I shivered, the cold biting me through my skirt and T-shirt. God, why did I have to be the one to act like such a freaking girl?!
My stomach grumbled. Loud.
When did I last eat? I thought groggily. Yesterday? The day before? I don't know. I looked around as if like magic a fridge would turn up. One didn't, and I didn't want to freeze, so I kept moving. If I could have food or warmth, which would I choose? I thought, trying to keep myself occupied. Warmth. Definitely warmth, because I can go for at least a week without food and keep moving, but I would freeze in this weather in that time.
"Who am I kidding? I'm not gonna get either out here, but it's only gonna be four or five days." Great. Now I'm talking to myself. "Could this get any worse?" Yes, it could. And, because we all know bad luck loves me, it started to rain. Unfortunately. And it wasn't just one of those warm summer drizzles, either. This was an all-out thunderstorm-- black rumbling clouds, huge raindrops, bright lightning, and I could swear I was smelling smoke. Maybe it's just me.
"What time is it?" I wondered, squinting with my hand over my eyes to the sky. And if you thought I could see the sun to gauge the time, go give your head a shake. "Shelter time," I muttered, rubbing rain out of my eyes. "I just need to find a thicket... Aha!" It was perfect. Well, as perfect as it could be out here. Mostly sheltered from the rain, soft-ish bed of dried pine needles, a stream nearby with fresh water, and even several fish. I looked at the fish hungrily, licking my lips. I rushed to find a long, straight stick and take out one of the many daggers I have hidden all over me, for situations like this. I set to work on sharpening one end of the stick to make a spear. After a few hungry minutes, I finished my spear and started to work on a fire and a spit to cook the fish on, if I catch it. I finished that, I went hunting for the fish.
All I could find were small fish, so I went back to check on the fire, to make sure it wouldn't spread at all, then headed up stream. Thankfully, when I found a spot, the storm had died down, and it was only a drizzle. Also, the water had calmed.
I had found a large pool of water, with a waterfall splashing into it, and what looked like an opening in the rock behind it. I scanned the surrounding trees, and listened carefully for any signs of people. When I found none, and no fish, I climbed up the rocks a few metres, stripped off my clothes and let my long blond hair down, and dove into the dark mysterious depths of the water.

Chapter 2
"I came, as you commanded." A voice faking confidence said.
"What do you have to report?" Came a quiet and musical voice from the shadows, but you could hear the insanity behind it.
"All immediate threats have been eliminated. And if I might add, the clone is nearly done."
"Good. Continue as you have been."
A swish of blonde hair, a grunt and a string of muttered swearing, and the informant, guard and prisoner were gone.

* * * * *
"Craaaap," I groaned. "Do we really need to fix all this?" I had just woken up with a massive headache, and our treehouse was trashed. Drake and Cora didn't appear to hear me. "Don't ignore me!" and picked up yet another branch. "Geez,
"Okay then, who were those people?"
"We want to know too," Replied Cora "I was just walking through the doorway when the helicopter--"
"Helicopter?!"
"Don't interrupt, Ace." scolded Drake, then addressing Cora "Please continue."
"As I was saying, the helicopter blades were spinning fast and too close to the tree, so it broke some branches and started a mini-tornado, and even more branches came in, and one pinned you down, but protected you a bit. By the way, how do you feel?"
"Just thinking about it hurts," I muttered, a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, I think we're done for today, guys!" called out Cora.
"Finally," groaned Drake "Are you trying to send me to an early grave?"
"Yes, now shut up and move, Drake." complained Ace from behind him.
"Hey, did you guys just hear something?"
"No," responded Drake and Ace gave Cora a questioning look. "Why?
"I just thought I heard something in the branches outside." Cora whipped her head to one side. "Okay, I know I heard it that time."
"Yeah I heard it too." Ace sounded nervous.
"Yeah, me too!" came a light voice from above their heads.
"Shi--!!" Exclaimed Ace and Drake at the same time, but Cora cut them off with a feirce glare.
"TWINS!" I yelled, another voice from above them, and then a dark shape, me, dropped to the ground beside Drake, landing lightly. "Woaaahh, I've never seen twins before." I said longingly, but still in my bubbly voice, and I started poking Drake.
"Hey, Ceil! Is that your accomplice?" Called Cora
Ceil dropped down from her perch too. "Yep! It's Soliel, my little sister."
"Uh, and how old is she?!" Drake demanded, still being poked. I giggled from behind him.
"She's eleven, but she acts like a two year old." Responded Ciel.
Ace looked confused, "Wait, how could you have not seen a twin before? Haven't you been, like, all over the world?"
That stopped my poking. I turned around, angry, but not with anyone in particular, and started to walk away, when Ciel glared at me. I could feel her gaze like she was burning a hole through my head. She thought they should know.
"I'm blind." I said flatly. "I have been for a while. No biggie."
Liar.

Chapter 1
Cora
I'm hungry, was my first thought when I woke up that morning. I leaped out of bed, which was on a platform about 2 and a half metres in the air, to the ground, rolled to break my fall, sprang back up on my feet and trotted to the kitchen. Arrgh, I thought while rummaging through the cuboards. Where's all the food!? Oh. There it is. I found a bowl and glass of water, and ate my cereal dry. Hey, it's better than nothing. When I finished my breakfast, I got dressed, and went to hunt down my roomies, Ace, Drake and Lily. You see, Lily and I share the same room, but her bed's on the floor, and Ace and Drake share a room beside ours. We don't know who our parents are, but we don't let it bother us. We get a whole house to ourselves! It's in the middle of a secluded forest , so nobody knows we're here.
First, I run around the house knocking on Ace and Drake's door and the bathroom to no answer, so I grab my bow and quiver of arrows, strap my hunting knife to my thigh and head outside to find them and Lily. I look for signs of recent travels on the ground, then head in that direction. We don't have any roads around, or even a driveway, but we have a big clearing for open meetings, battle practice (you never know who'll show up!), ya know, that kinda thing. It looks like they were headed for our treehouse. No, not like those little cramped boxes nailed to the trees, what we have is a real treehouse. It's grown out of the pine tree! The tree is tall even for our forest, which has an average height of 100 feet, this pine tree towers over the rest by about 30 feet. There are stairs curling around the trunk all the way to almost the top of the tree, where there is a big room grown out of the tree which we use for meetings that it is absolutely necessary that no one overhears us, a surveillance room to see what might be hostile and headed our way, or just to hang out. It took a few minutes to make it up, even with my strength (It's a really tall tree!) to make it to the top, but I did eventually. I paused outside the door to make sure that it was really them, but then I heard something alarming.
"You see anything?" said Ace's voice.
"No. Hey, what's that black dot?" Replied Lily's voice from the other side of the room. "Oh my god, it's getting bigger, fast! Oh crap--!"
Crash! Someone's screaming, but I can't tell who. The whirling of helicopter blades, gusts of wind rushing around like a mini-tornado from the new gaping hole in the wall.
"Ace! Drake, Lily! Where are you?" I yell desperately into the wind, straining for any signs of them.
After what seemed like an eternity, I got a response. "Over here!" I recognized Drake's voice "Ace is trapped under a branch that blew in! I can't lift it myself." I followed the sound of his voice with one arm shielding my eyes from the airborne debris over to one corner of the room where I saw Ace pinned to the floor by a branch on his chest and one arm while Drake was desperately trying to get him out, but he just wasn't strong enough.
I got my arms under the branch and lifted it a foot off Ace while Drake pulled him out and leaned him against a wall.
Then, as suddenly as it began, the noise, wind and violent rocking of the tree stopped.
"Where's Lily?" I ask Drake. I leave no man or woman behind.
"I don't know; they carried her off with this big net. That's what caused this huge mess."
"Is Ace okay? Are you okay? What's the extent of the damage? Is the tree stable? Which direction did they go?
"Okay, one more question. Who's they?"
I'm hungry, was my first thought when I woke up that morning. I leaped out of bed, which was on a platform about 2 and a half metres in the air, to the ground, rolled to break my fall, sprang back up on my feet and trotted to the kitchen. Arrgh, I thought while rummaging through the cuboards. Where's all the food!? Oh. There it is. I found a bowl and glass of water, and ate my cereal dry. Hey, it's better than nothing. When I finished my breakfast, I got dressed, and went to hunt down my roomies, Ace, Drake and Lily. You see, Lily and I share the same room, but her bed's on the floor, and Ace and Drake share a room beside ours. We don't know who our parents are, but we don't let it bother us. We get a whole house to ourselves! It's in the middle of a secluded forest , so nobody knows we're here.
First, I run around the house knocking on Ace and Drake's door and the bathroom to no answer, so I grab my bow and quiver of arrows, strap my hunting knife to my thigh and head outside to find them and Lily. I look for signs of recent travels on the ground, then head in that direction. We don't have any roads around, or even a driveway, but we have a big clearing for open meetings, battle practice (you never know who'll show up!), ya know, that kinda thing. It looks like they were headed for our treehouse. No, not like those little cramped boxes nailed to the trees, what we have is a real treehouse. It's grown out of the pine tree! The tree is tall even for our forest, which has an average height of 100 feet, this pine tree towers over the rest by about 30 feet.

Soo excited! :D (plus a bunch of 'sorrys')
Yaaaaaaayyy!!! :D
I'm hoping (operative word *Hoping*) to post chapter one tomorrow!! :D
I'm soo excited! I'm also gonna post it on face book, so if you know me, you can get the link from there.
Oh, and about that last post, sorry I put it in present tense, even though I haven't actually posted any chapters yet! (Oops!) And yet another sorry for very short chapters! (I'm working on that... really, I am!)
Aaanyways,
Bye!

Blog Posting and all that.
You people reading this post are probably wondering,
"What's with how you post stuff?"
Well, there's a vague pattern to it. We always have at least one post ahead of time, and we'll be posting chapters about once a week, give or take a few days. Just so that we have time to type the chapters, so you, our dear readers (we love you!), won't be waiting a long time for chapters to come out.
Any questions, comment them!
Oh, and at the moment, we're working on chapter four and five, so chapter one will probably be posted soon. I hope... :)
So any suggestions, questions or constructive criticism, just comment, and I'll probably add a page for it, too! :)
Lots o' love,
