''Oi, Echo~ Its time.'' Echo let out a soft groan and sat up looking at Nevaeh. He blinked his bright blue eyes before crawling out of the bed and over to his messenger bag. Before picking up the bag he quickly began rummageing through the bag, pulling out a old pocket watch. He stared at the watch before grabbing his bag. He picked it up and walked over to Nevaeh slowly. He stayed quiet while he looked at Nevaeh.

He stood next to Nevaeh, wondering what would happen on this dark rainy night. He hoped every one would be safe and get away from the insane Father of theirs. He tightened his grip on his watch before turning and looking up at Nevaeh. '' Nevaeh I'm scared. What if he Catches us?'' He whispered and a soft yet worryful voice.

[Mine will get longer too]

(Quick posts so that we can move along to the main story.)

Minori was already awake, grabbing a few things from his room that he could carry and thought he might need. A flashlight, batteries, toilet paper, and one he was still debating; a butcher knife. He might need it for defense. Instead of placing it in the hand bag with the other things he decided to keep it with him. It was of no use packed up. Swinging the bag over his shoulder, Minori made for the hallway ever so quietly. His was right next to father's so he had to be extremely quiet. Hopefully the storm didn't wake him. Minori poked his head out into the hall and saw Schyler, Nevaeh, Yoko, and Echo. He places a finger over his mouth and motions them to follow as he goes to wake the others.

"If your going to have doubts, then I can just leave you behind." Nevaeh said and grabbed Echo's hand. "He's not going to catch us." Echo Frowned at the first part not wanting to be left alone here with Father.Echo silently walked along side of Nevaeh, hold onto his hand while having the pocket watch in the other hand.

He looked at Yoko and nodded as she gave him a assuring smile.''Thanks Yoko.'' he said quietly as. he saw Schyler wave at him. He waved back with the hand holding the watch, the chain jingling lightly. He quickly stopped the Jingling as they neared Erika's room, one of the ones close to Farthers. He quietly stood behind the others, not saying a word.

Kat jumped out her door, holding an aluminum baseball bat in one hand, and her bag that held her clothing, her laptop, her portable amps and some of her favorite techno CDs was thrown over her shoulder. She had been packing, getting ready to leave, when she heard voices, and grabbed her bat.
"Oh, it's just you." she said, when she noticed her brothers and sisters standing in the hallway looking somewhat surprised, "we're leaving, already?" she looked at her wristwatch and back at them and shrugged, "okay, who are we waking up next?"

Erika moaned at somebody's voice calling to her. She pulled the sheets over her head. She didn't want to go through with this, but she didn't want to be in this house alone, either. She peeked out of the covers, only to see that the person who had bothered her wasn't there, anymore. Erika panicked, thinking that her family already ran away, so quickly, she jumped out of her bed, grabbed her bags and a raincoat, and ran out to the group. She didn't make a sound, though. She rarely did when she was moving around, which is why she was hardly ever noticed.

As she walked up to the group, she stepped on a creaky floor board, but quickly jumped off of it. "Shhh!" She quietly hushed the floorboard, as if it could hear her. Erika tied her shoulder-length brown hair into a ponytail and then threw on her raincoat. She hated the rain, and thunder, and lightning.. and the dark. With her duffel bag on her shoulder and Kelly, her teddy bear, being held closely to her chest, she waited along with the rest of the group.. She waited until Minori gave the sign to follow him, and she did. More and more she was wishing that she had just stayed in her bed.

Minori slipped into Jonah's room as quietly as possible. Luckily he kept his room clean and organized unlike most of the others so there wasn't much to trip on. He bent over Jonah's bed and shook his shoulder. "Jonah. Psst, Jonah. Wake up. We have to go now," Minori called trying to shake his younger sibling as quietly as he could and still wake him. His hair was still standing on end with the fear that father would wake. He didn't know how he would handle that situation, but he was sure he didn't want to find out. He glanced at the knife in his and shuttered. It won't come to that, right? he reassured himself. "Jonah, wake up already."

Kaylee sighed, she hadn't been able to sleep all night due to anxiety of the coming event. Normally, she would play her flute, but she didn't want to draw attention. Hearing the floor creak as people passed her room and quiet talking, she edged out of bed and crawled across the floor, avoiding the creaky sections, and headed to her door, opening it a crack so that she could see into the hallway. Sure enough, some of her "siblings" were already up and about, making sure everyone was awake. Crawling back to her bed, Kaylee tugged a backpack and jacket from underneath the dirty white framing. Glancing around her room, she spotted her flute where she had left it earlier and mentally chastised herself for almost forgetting it. She knew that she wouldn't make it very far if she wasn't calm and she wouldn't be calm if she didn't have her flute. Snatching the metal instrument up from her desk, she stuffed it in her bag, which she slung up onto her back before heading back to her door and peeking out. Startled when she didn't see her "siblings" at first, she opened her door the rest of the way and slipped into the hall, thankful that her door was the one quiet part of her room.
Heading down the hall, Kaylee was silently panicking. Had they already left? Did they leave her behind? All those thoughts disappeared as she got closer to Jonah's room and spotted some of her "siblings" either outside or just within the doorway. The closer she got to her fellows, the more tense she got from anxiety of being near "father's" room and being that much closer to actually leaving.

"Hallo." Kaylee's voice was hardly a whisper as she edged toward the others, more nervous than she ever remembered being, which wasn't very much time to compare to.

"Calm down Schyler, what's wrong? Everything will be okay," Minori reassured her. He realized the knife probably scared her more and quickly placed it behind his back. As Jonah stirred Minori grabbed Schylers hand and led her out of the room and went to wake the others. He spotted Kaylee as they left Jonah's room and gave a mental sigh. That's one less worry. Now for Elliot, he though as he made his way toward his brothers room silently. After that was finished he counted heads and was content that all were present. "Okay, we're all here. Now be as quiet as possible and follow me," he told them.

Schyler followed him about getting more and more scared but she tried to conceal it as much as possible. As they continued to get people she began to realise that she wouldnt be alone. She skipped along quietly and eventually "Now be as quiet as possible and follow me." She nodded and decided to cling to Minori's hand hiding behind him at the slightest sound. It was tricky and dangerous. Schyler just wasnt feeling up to the whole Adventure thing.

Elliot's eyes were blank as he followed his sister, who was also following the rest of the siblings, silently. Leaving or staying, neither option really concerned him, but Kat wanted to leave, and so he had to oblige. He absent-mindedly reached out and grabbed the hem of Kat's shirt with his hand to make sure that he definitely could not lose her. Everybody else he didn't care about, they bothered him to be frank, but he could not leave Kat behind. Hanging from his left hand was a whip that was halfway wrapped around his arm. The pack on his back contained very little of actual survival supplies like food or clothes (He only had one change of clothes and some granola bars), but rather had multiple weapons in it. He was prepared for a fight. Like always.

Kat followed Minori and her other siblings to...where ever they were going and whispered to him, "so, once we get out of here, where exactly are we going?" She twirled some of her spikey blue hair around her finger, just remembering that she had forgotten to grab her hair dye in the haste. This better end quickly, I just want to get out of this place.

Schyler started to jump up and down in pain "Ow!" She exclamed then bit her lip... "Kat?" She looked at Kat and flopped her hair over her eyes "Are you scared too?" Schyler looked at where she'd bumped into something and frowned at her clumsyness. She was starting to enjoy herself a little. Although she was becoming rather loud with her excitement.

"Be quiet Schyler," Elliot hissed through clenched teeth. His grip on Kat's shirt tightened, possibly pulling her back some, but if he did, Elliot didn't notice it. After all, his patience was already running thin with all of his siblings, and how many times had someone said something about being quiet now? Elliot didn't care if it was only once, if something was said, and these people really wanted to get out, then they should listen. Elliot sure as hell wasn't the one doing the planning to get them out of here. The only use he'd be was following instructions, and possibly being good if push came to shove, but besides that, he knew better than to say anything or step on any toes. After all, he wanted this to go smoothly, to protect Kat. His grip on the whip tightened.

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Kat muttered to Sky, reciting one of the many quotes that she had memorized. It was one of her favorite quotes by FDR, she was trying to cheer up Sky, but also was trying to convince herself. "Don't worry, Sky, we'll make it, Minori won't let anything happen to us." And with that, she gave her a weak smile, but not a very convincing one.

Yoko looked to her younger "siblings" who appeared to be making a rather loud racket and warned gently, "Shhhhh, wouldn't want to get caught, now would we?" She hoped that wouldn't warrant any further fear in them, seeing as it seemed to dwindle down into excitement. Elliot tried to take charge like always, telling Schyler to be quiet. Watching Kat and Elliot keep close together, she heard Kat ask where exactly they would go after this. That was an issue...in all actuality, they had nowhere to run to. She shook those thought off and looked at the blue haired girl with a smile, "I'm sure we'll figure something out, but for now let's just focus on getting out of here. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Sky glared at Elliot quite visously showing she wasnt scared of him and all his instrustions. She did feel bad for getting too excited about it though and blushed looking back at Kat "Hmmm Im not fearing right now" She whispered and glancing at elliot like he was going to pounce on her if she put another foot out of line. "Im sure we'll be fine" Now sky was trying to be reassuring and light hearted.
