"Wonderful." commented Wes sarcastically.
"What does any of this have to do with me?"
Lorelei would have never heard this much sass from Wes before. To be fair, she had probably heard the shy boy speak more in the last hour than she had in the rest of their meetings combined.
Wes was putting on a cool front, but in reality his heart hammered in his chest. Is this girl telling the truth? Is that even possible?

“Your a Darkest Heart, smart one,” Holly said, rolling her eyes. She glanced at him, eyes narrowing, “And you can say you’re not, that’s fine. But eventually you will be killed by them. If not by being found out, it will be when you reach age 18 and they do mandatory blood tests to check for it,” she said. The blood tests weren’t actually publicly known, not well anyways. An deven then, the reasoning was assumed to check for diseases, not Darkest Hearts. Holly knew better though.
Lorelei looked surprised at Wes, he was acting a bit out of character, so she would say.
“Anyways, the smartest thing to do, is to leave the city. If you want to save your skin, then we need to get away from large pockets of population, or at least start investigating. It won’t be long before your powers will out themselves.” She murmured.

"Why should I trust you?" Wes was still wary of this girl who said she was Holly, but at least seemed more willing now to let her explain herself.
After Holly answered Wes glanced over to Lorelei with raised eyebrows. He was curious about what she thought about Holly.
{so originally I wanted Wes to read minds but thinking of that in practical terms it will be difficult with other rpers. Not sure what I'm gonna do instead, maybe illusions or light manipulation?}

(I think that light manipulation and illusions could be cool. Maybe both?
Holly can create some illusions from magic, but her powers deal more with creation(spoiler I guess?).
But yeah he can have both :3.)
Holly crossed her arms, looking at him, “Honestly?” She murmured, “You shouldn’t trust anyone, I don’t trust either of you, but I know you both know better than to go run and turn someone in,”
Lorelei sighed, pinching her nose as she thought deeply. “So, let me get this right, you’re Holly, a girl whose supposed to be dead, are a Darkest Heart, and want what, exactly, from us?”
“I want to propose a trade, we help each other, form a group. Together, Darkest Hearts are more powerful, or well, we would be. We could protect one another, and hide until we find a solution, until we can prove and defy this legend,” Holly explained.

"A trade? What you're talking about sounds like an alliance, not trade." pondered Wes outloud, still cautious.
"If you really are who you say you are, why did you wait so long to comeback?"

“Okay, whatever you call it,” Holly said, annoyed. Yet his question threw her off guard, and she frowned, “I-“ she winced, crossing her arms. “I’m not exactly sure why I was able to die and come back,” she admitted, easily lying, she knew why, but she wouldn’t say it, and the girl was a expert liar. “I just know, and have known for a while, thay I would come back today, 9 years after my death.”

“Where were you before you came back?”
The more Wes talked to this girl, the more his head hurt.
She had no proof that he was a Darkest Heart either. She was right, but he had done nothing to let anyone know that. He had made sure of it.

“Here,” She murmured, looking to the road just before then with sadness, “Right there,” She said, looking the the side. She remembered her death, the pain and fear. The heartbreak. She looked away from them, careful not to show weakness, and keeping her eyes dry. She could almost imagine the haunting militia close in, fighting for her life before the knife was stabbed into her back, through her ears. The though left her with chills, and phantom pains echoing through in her body.

Talking with the girl who claimed to be Holly was going nowhere. Wes looked to Lorelei. "Is she making any sense to you?" he asked the other girl quietly so Holly would not hear.
In truth the things that Holly was saying scared them. That can't be true... No one will find out what I really am! I can hide it!

“Yeah, She is.” Lorelei murmured, but sighed, “But at the same times she not. She seems traumatized, but people lie all the time. Though this seems too...real,” She pointed out.
Holly shook her head, “Regardless, I can’t stay here,” she pointed out, and frowned at them, “If you want to leave with me, you can. If you stay here, and you are a Darkest Heart and they catch you, I fear for your safety.”

Wes ran his hand through his hair again, resting it on his forehead. This was all starting to give him a headache.
He looked back to Holly. Somehow his silver moon like eyes glowed in the gloom of the underground city.
"Give us a reason to trust you. We just met you. You're a stranger to us. If we go with you we would be leaving everything we know. Everything we have. Our futures. Give us a reason to believe you." Wes didn't talk much, but when he did it was in your best interest to listen.
His speech had been impassioned, his voice had ever even rose ever so slightly. Wes was doing his best to hide it, but what Holly had said had scared him. He didn't want it to be true. But if it was...
Wes had never left the underground city. He didn't possess any exceptional skills. He wasn't even all that smart.

Holly shook slightly, her eyes widened, but nodded, she looked around making sure no one was near.
“Cogitare satis est vision, modo ostenderet,” she spoke the Latin phrase, eyes closed as an orb formed into her hand, and she cupped it. She then pressed her forehead to it, and walked over to him. Raising her hand, she stood ready, “I need to access your forehead, this is going to be odd, so I hope you don’t mind,” she warned.
With that, she pressed her palm to his head, and the orb seemed to float into his skin. What he would see next would be a vision. Or a memory of hers. Her death to be specific.
Green eyes narrowed, and she ran off from her mother and father as her kitten jumped out of her hand. They called for her, but the little girl was faster, approaching the traffic nearby.
The kitten ran out, and in her fear, the girl ran out before it, raising her hands to try and shield herself from the impact.
When no pain came, she looked up, seeing a glittering magenta shield before her, and her eyes widened in fear. This was perhaps worse then being hit. She heard screams, and dread pooled in her stomache as she looked at her hands. How could she have power?
She heard the kitten hiss, and heard someone walk behind her, grabbing her arm, dragging her away from the scene, and her parents screaming out her name.
Hecate, her kitten, looked up with wide green eyes in return, and Holly gulped as she looked at the man that had her arm.
“Let me go!” She cried, trying to yank her arm away from him.
He ignored her, grabbing out a phone and awnsering a call, “Yeah, I got the subject now, I’m taking her to the execution area,”
“LET ME GO!” She’s screamed and he tugged her harder, her arm bruising from his tight grip.
She sobbed, and soon, she noticed a dark alley, her eyes wide in fear, and she was shocked when she let go of her arm, pushing her forward as she collapse to the ground, not expecting to be let go.
She mistakenly though, that’s maybe just maybe, she would live. That she was a special case. Until she saw the glint of the blade and let out an ear piercing scream.
“PLEASE!” She begged, standing up and backing up as he drew near, “PLEASE, DON’T KILL ME!”
When he got close, she formed a shield, pushing him back with the magic, and started running out of the ally.
And then, pain filled her chest, and looking down she spotted blood and a blade peaking through before she fell. Body collapsing as she watched the man just walk away in her dying moments.
(Dark vision rip.)

Wes didn't have time to say that he did actually mind before the world was suddenly dragged out from under his feet and suddenly replaced.
Except this wasn't his world. It was hers. Her memories. Her powers. Her death.
Wes faintly remembered screaming as the blade pierced the little girls heart and the world jerked out from underneath him again.
When Wes came to again he had fallen to his knees. He didn't remember that. He opened his eyes and was immediately almost blinded by a bright light.
As soon as Holly had touched Wes the pale boys had started to glow, slowly becoming brighter until all of a sudden her jerked away with a sudden flashing brightness he jerked away. The flash was bright enough to leave spots in the eyes of anyone who watched, like looking into a camera.
As Wes regained his awareness with gasping breaths, the light slowly began to dim. He was still undeniably aglow.
A cruel twist of fate that even the boy that light obeyed could not summon it to his own dark heart.

Holly backed up when he yanked away, having been watching, and attempted to cover her eyes, yet she was still temporarily blinded. Lorelei gaped, swinging her head to look at Wes, then turning to Holly, anger on her face, “What did you do to him?!” (Short, I’m sorry .)

{Nah, it's okay don't stress about it.}
By the time Wes had collected himself enough to speak the light had cut out. Well there goes not showing them what I can do.
"I don't think she's lying..." muttered Wes to Lorelei in a tired tone.
This girl may actually be Holly, but that still didn't change the fact that her plan was crazy. Staying in the city may be dangerous for people like them, but if they left where would they go?
Wes shakily stood up, dusting himself off.
"So what's your plan?" he asked Holly.

“To survive,” Holly muttered in a whisper, blinking blindly in his direction, or at least, her vision was blurry for the time being. “I’m leaving Atlantis, and I’m going to Roanoke, see if I can find some people there, there’s strength in numbers. And we need it,” She said, louder this time.
Lorelei wanted to question what he saw, but shook her head. “Why should we leave our lives behind to help you?” She snapped at Holly.

"How?" asked Wes incredulously. This girl might be who she said she was, but she was still crazy. "You can't expect us to leave everything behind just on your whim!"
It may be dangerous to stay, but it would be even more dangerous to leave. At least they knew Atlantis and what they were up against. Leaving would be risky and leave them even more vulnerable. Holly's intention may be good, but her plan was half thought out at best, and downright deadly at worst.

“I’m not leaving now, you nimbus!” Holly spat, rolling her eyes. “I have family, you know. And there’s others here, too. But I will leave soon, or eventually. But the clues I need might be here,” She added. “Except, I...I don’t know where my family is,” she added.
Lorelei had enough of this, and snapped, “And why should we care? We have our own lives, and if you can’t find your family, whatever! No one cares!”

Wes had had enough of this crazy girl. “You just said you were leaving!” He hissed. “What where we supposed to think.”
Wes shook his head. “Whatever. I’m done with you. Good luck I guess.”
Wes looked back to Lorelei. “I’m sorry about what happened earlier. You really need to be more careful.” He dipped his head in farewell to the Darkest Heart and began to turn around and leave.
This is why he didn’t talk to people.

Holly growled in frustration, her body fading into magic before reappearing in front of Wes, both of her eyes colored red now. Her face had a menacing look to it, and she stepped closer to him, “When you have to choose between being discovered or letting someone die, I feel bad for whoever is in danger,” She snarled out, “Because it’s obvious you would let them die just to save your own skin,” she said. Her eyes focused on Lorelei next.
“And you,” Holly said, red eyes, glowing at this point, focused on the girl, “Your parents would be disappointed in you,” She snapped. “They weren’t like this, they put others before themselves, they believed in people. Too bad you can’t even believe in yourself,” she said.
Turning, her shoulder length spiky hair swinging, she strode forward, turning her head back slightly to glare at them both. “Your both living proof of the legend, it was my mistake for assuming you may want to save others, you’d rather be ‘safe’ and ‘where you know’ instead of using the powers you do have for good.” She added coldly.
Lorelei stood, dumbfounded for a moment, and slightly fearful, because this Darkest Heart was, well, obviously more in control of her abilities then she herself was.

(okay I am finally ready to join, so whatcha want me to do 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 ? ^^) (Well... dietmountaindew and I seem to be finishing our part off, maybe. So you know guys, I’ve decided that in regards to ‘true’ Darkest Hearts, there will be 9. For now, I’m allowing people to RP up to 2 of these guys(including myself). These characters don’t have to be back, but they are the true intent of the legend. They are, in some ways, more powerful then most. Some ther characters can have powers relating to this, but really these are the ones that are like ‘yeah this seems like it would be in the legend’. 3 of these people have powers of life and death. The main antagonist, who is open to be made by someone else, will be invincible and/or immortal. It’s up to whoever RPs them, but he/she/they are open. 3 will have abilities with control, and manipulation of others. 3 will be other categories, this is kind of up in the air. So yeah. I may have 1 or 2 True Darkest Hearts, I don’t really know yet.) (In other regards, the brightest hearts, who ar kind of unheard of due to this part of the legend never being openly stated, have powers that are primarily good in nature. Like light magic(Wes could be considered a brightest, btw, it’s up to you, but the officials would think he is Darkest), and Kyoko will be a brightest, her abilities dealing with mirrors, and she herself will have minor ‘control’ abilities, eventually. So not everyone with an ability like the ones mentioned is a Darkest, it’s just the ones that are powerful and befitting to it.)

(Also, currently. Holly, who is mysterious in regards to her person and powers, is finding others to join her cause. Yet she knows much more than she is revealing, and her reasons are far beyond what she claims. She knows this person(the main antagonist(he can also be a controller, I guess) is after others, and her reasons are connected to this.
If someone wants to RP the person, the person can have really whatever powers you want, I guess, but they will have a trueness Darkest Heart and be after others.)
