With her two best friends in each hand , Ratatosk led them to the Ravenwood Tower. She looked up to the sky again and noticed the sun still hadn't moved from where it was earlier. She stopped. Even though they were only a few steps away from entering the tower, the sun not moving was a bigger worry than going up the Ravenwood Tower. She dropped Ryo and Ammaterasus' hands and used hers as a sheild from the sunlight.
"Hey you guys." Ratatosk didn't bother to try and hide the panic in her voice. "It should be 6:30 right now but the sun hasn't moved an inch since we were at the arch. It should be way down there near the horizon right? But it still shows that it's mid-day."
She looked over to Ryo and Ammaterasu for an answer.

Ryo laughed a little, "Are you sure it's not still set to Japan time? That would make it... Ok, I'm not good with numbers but certainly not 6 pm. Either that or Ammy has some explaining to do. Heh heh."
The Japanese boy hoped that calmed his friend down. After all, surely the sun couldn't simply stop. He had never heard of magic that could stop the rotation of the Earth. Rotation of the Earth? He seemed to pay more attention to his muggle teacher than he thought. A real shock because he didn't care for people back then and his schooling as almost exclusively to hide him back in his home country.

"What I think is that, this time it's not me, hahaha." Ammaterasu replied to his friends question. "I'm not really sure that I know any type of magic that could stop the sun anyway. But it is possible that someone can do something like that. It really wouldn't surprise me."
Ammaterasu looked calmly up to the sun. Indeed it did look as though the sun had quit moving. He frowned slightly and looked back to Ratatosk and Ryo. He was as confused as they were but he wasn't going to let that show.
"Y'know we could go to the top of the tower and scan the area to see if we can find the culprit to the sun 'stopping' then we can go and stop them." Ammaterasu suggested. "I would really like to know what stopping the sun would really do anyway. It's kind of redundant if you think about it."

"I don't think so. I set the time to match the one here on my watch so I wouldn't be late to class....and I'm pretty sure my watch isn't messed up..I just bought it." Ratatosk looked down to examine her watch. She felt a wave of worry run through her body and it tremble. Her watched blinked 12:00 over and over again never once switched to 12:01. She took off her watched and checked to make sure the battery wasn't dead. It showed that the battery was still full. She put it back on and looked up.
She listened to Ammy and pondered about what the sun would have to do with anything. Her eyes lit up as she remember what her great-grandfather had once told her.
"Not really if you think about it Ammy. Please forgive me if I'm wrong but,the sun plays a major part in magic, so if someone wanted to get really powerful they.....would wanna stop the sun!" Ratatosk smiled. "Let's go! We should cut this out at its knees before we get a real problem on our hands."
Ratatosk felt triumphant and grinned. She took a step towards Ryo and latched onto his arm. She sighed and pulled Ryo into the direction of the tower agian.
"C'mon Ammy. We're gonna go find out who's doing this." Ratatosk called over her shoulder.

"Hmm," the boy thought, "this could be interesting. I hope we find what's going on."
The snake was rather confused about the whole situation. Magic was about spells and good wand form from what he could tell. Ryo wasn't aware of any magic requiring the sun to move. If anything, this ight be a blessing. Maybe they wouldn't age. Maybe no classes?
"You know... maybe being stuck in time or whatever might not be so bad..."

Ratatosk thought about what Ryo had said as she continued to lead him to the tower. She had mixed feelings about the situation. She could spend forever with Ryo and Ammy, hanging out getting in to trouble. But she also wanted to look at the stars with her two best friends. It felt a little romantic to her. Having her two best friends near her as she watched the stars. Always feeling safe and secure when they were around.
"It might not...but..couldn't we just ask a vampire to turn us or something? I mean...we can stay young forever but we could still experince day and night and I won't have to worry about...." She cut herself off. Not wanting to finish the sentence she turned her mind to the tower.
She looked over her shoulder at Ammy. She noticed her was little behind.
"C'mon Ammy! You're lagging behind," Ratatosk teased with a smile as she stepped into the tower. Still holding on to Ryo's hand she looked up. There were so many stairs.
"Wow...It's just keeps going on huh?" Ratatosk pointed out with awe.
Post by Ryoko Kanagawa on May 9, 2009 1:34:00 GMT -5
"I'm not sure why, but having time keep going seems important so I'll help you out. I don't what to think about Vampires. They aren't even alive anymore. That's not much of a life. Furthermore, they have no emotions."
Ryo looked over at his friend who was behind him. He hoped he didn't start to get lost.

Ratatosk frowned at what Ryo said.
"Vampire's are too real! Hehe just kidding. I know they don't exist..but it would rock if they did, y'know? I mean how cool would that be if I could make friends with a vampire." Ratatosk began to daydream. "What if you and Ammy are vampires and you're luring me into a trap? Hehe just kidding."
Ratatosk began to feel disgusted with herself. She said 'just kidding' and 'y'know' too much. She began to make herself stop saying them. SHe was sure it was not only getting on her nerves but others as well. She turned her attention to Ammaterasu. He was still far behind. She sighed with impatience.

Ryo gave his friend a look, "Vampires are just as real as you and me. Be glad I had to tell you that. I was staying that they are physically dead. And I wouldn't worry about me and Ammy. Vampires don't do well in sunlight." The last comments were said with a smirk.
Ryo could tell something was eating at Ratatosk, but he wasn't sure what is was. He hoped she would say before he had to ask.
Post by Ratatosk Richter on May 14, 2009 11:31:16 GMT -5
Ratatosk felt confused. She had always been taught that vampires are just myths and fairy tales.
"Wow..I am totally clueless." Ratatosk smiled again. "Ryo...I.....I was wondering if...Ugh nevermind. I'm no good at this. I feel a little awkward about asking. I'm sorry Ryo."
Her mind raced with hundreds of different questions. Why is she so ignorant about all the magical stuff? She's magical and always has been. Why didn't anyone teach her all of this before she made herself look like a complete idiot? She felt angry. Angry at her brother for not telling her anything before he died.
She was unaware of the tears that had formed in her eyes and that were now streaming down her face. When she finally noticed, she felt shocked at herself. Embarassed she let Ryo's hand go. Making sure that he or Ammy couldn't see her face, she darted up the stairs without thinking. All that she could think of was hoping that Ryo or Ammy wouldn't be mad at her.

Ryo shook his head and muttered under his breath, "Oh, Ratatosk..."
He bolted after the girl breathing hard. He hadn't run so fast since in Japan. It stirred up some bad memories. He had to catch her quickly. The memories were already starting to bother him. It also seemed a little hypocritical that he was going to ask her what was wrong but he wouldn't share his past. He would he decided, in time.
He caught sight of her and grabbed her arm so she couldn't run anymore. Her eyes were red with tears when she turned around to see what stopped her. Ryo looked into her eyes and said, "Please don't cry. I'm here for you no matter what. Please ask me whatever you want. I won't judge you." He couldn't help but chuckle a little, "Besides, if you're worried about how much more I know, then don't be. A few things I wish I didn't know."

Ratatosk was bewildered. Her face was tear streaked and she was sure that she looked terrible. Ratatosk was still a little tender on the subject of her brother but maybe if she talked about him maybe she would feel better. She took a deep breath and closed he eyes.
"I'm kinda upset about my older brother Erra. He didn't come to this school but he knew alot about this world. I was never told that I was magical until 3 years ago. Erra brought it up in one of his nightly discussions with my mom and dad. I was never supposed to know." Ratatosk kept her eyes shut but continued her story. "I asked Erra the next day about it and he never really said anything. All that he said was that I'll learn about it in time. About a month later Erra told me to go to the store and get him candy. It was candy that didn't even exist. When I finally figured it out I went home angry. But when I got home my parents and Erra were dead."
Ratatosk's voice cracked and a few more tears slipped out. She looked to Ryo.
"Hehe that's how I got here. Hehe, but it's still a little embarassing not knowing anything about what I am." Ratatosk put on her best brave face and smiled. "And I'll make sure to come to you for anything else."

(OOC: Sorry you guys for not posting in a while. I had to bury my 5 month old sister a few weeks ago. I'm still kinda shaken up about it. She passed away from heart failure. D= )
Ammaterasu burst into a sprint to catch up with Ratatosk and Ryo. He ran through the door and up the steps and found Ratatosk in tears and Ryo consoling her. He immeadiately felt like blaming himself but thought that would be childish and stupid. And then he remembered that Ratatosk had a very scarring childhood. She was more than likely remembering a bad memory. Even though he didn't hear the story that she probably told he still tried his best to be comforting.
"Hey Ratatosk...don't worry. It'll be just fine, I'm sure. Please don't cry." Ammaterasu felt like he was being intrusive so he decided to leave.. "Hey you guys...looks like I'm kinda a third wheel right now so I'm gonna go ahead to check out the area for the reason of the stopping sun."
He patted Ratatosk's head and gave Ryo a smile and a nod. He began making his way to the top.

Ryo frowned after hearing Ratatosk's story, "I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you miss them. I get the feeling that your brother knew what was going to happen or at least figured it might happen so he sent you off so you wouldn't share their fate. If I'm right, your brother was a good man."
He hugged her tightly, "It's ok. I'm here and I'm sure you will learn more about yourself. Sometimes it's what we become more than who we were or where we came from that defines us."
The boy looked over to his friend who darted up the stairs. "I'll be up there soon, tell me what you find."

Ratatosk dried her eyes and lifted her head up to look at Ryo.
"Ryo...Ryo..I...I love you." Ratatosk whispered. 'Please...don't let me go."
She kissed him full on the lips. She felt all her worries melt away. Her mind focused only on the kiss not worrying itself with any other trivial matters. Ryo, was the only person that she had ever felt this way before to. She liked the feeling and she only hoped that he felt the same.
