- - Two years prior - -
The blond girl had been run out of her home by her psycho friend, but something was different now. Adrian had power and she was physically strong too but Jill was always stronger, teasing Adrian about that. Thinking back now at all the wrestling matches, Jill would have probably sent Adrian to hell and back 15 times if Jill had the power that Adrian was now running away from. She had meant to go in search for Rafiel, knowing that the kids had gone with Des and were probably on their way to Fiinder's or Cid's place, whichever accepted them the most. Adrian made her way towards the old army bass campsite where she knew all the weapons would be stored.....
- - During the two years - -
Adrian had a run in with Jill during these years away form her family. She dared not seek them out for Jill had been following her but could not reach Adrian inside the cave. Adrian had loaded years and years supplies of ammunition into Jill already, including poisons and Demon numbing poisons. All was but lost and her guns were all dirty and barely working. Adrian cautiously got up from underground, knowing what she must do now; go out and find a new bass. The closest one was in the east, so she travelled that way....
- - Now - -
An almost invisible mud-covered figure lay bleeding from days before in a wide pit in the ground. The snakes she'd all but killed but wasn't able to fight off their bites and poison venom. Her blond hair was still long, her eyes were closed while her face upwards towards the sun. How many days had it been? A week? Two weeks?
"I give up... no one's going to find me..." She said to herself as the sun's rays burned her skin and dried the mud on her clothing once again. Adrian didn't even look like Adrian now. Sure, she'd been messy before but this was ridiculous. She blended right in with the mud itself! Even her hair was so covered in mood it was barely perceptible. The walls of her tomb were covered in markings symbolizing that she'd tried desperately to get out, and only three times had she almost made it. Hunger pains drew her eyes and face in to a sign of discomfort, and she moaned, knowing she'd either starve to death or die of blood loss. "I give up..." She told herself drawing raspy breaths through dry lips and over her cracked toungue, "I.. give up..."

"Well well, not very optomistic are we?" Came the sound of a voice, a voice that was a bit spacey and echoy. But, there wasn't a body to accompany this voice. Or, at least, at first there wasn't. Slowly a figure, translucent and ghost like, faded in from a non-visible plane of being; never reaching full solidity. "Yesh, cramped enough in here? I feel as if it's impossible to breathe!" The person chuckled, as if this were all in good humour. Bright eyes of pale sapphire looked Adrian over from behind locks of paler sky blue and tan. "But, seriously, you look awful. I can't believe my brother would neglect to check in on you."
Mephiana, the elder sister of Rafiel, placed her hands on her hips, looking at Adrian curiously. "My my, don't we look awful? Where have you been, little sister-in-law? Apparently through the ringer and back is what I would guess." As always, her clothes were of blues and grey and tans, and over-done. Many beads and jingling bits of metal clung to ever inch of her clothing and even though she was not in a solid form these extra tisbits seeming to tinkle and jingle whenever she shifted.
"Anyways, on a more serious note, what happened to you?"

Adrian groaned, looking up at the ghost like body. Sister in law? She had no sister in law that she knew of and who was this brother that this ghost was talking about? Adrian shook her head slowly and painfully. "I think you got the wrong mud puddle, girly... or am I dead already?" she asked, a bit dilusional. Adrian heard the jingles of the tidbits of metal and welcomed the joyfull sound. What did happen to me? Why and how did I get here?
"Oh... yeah..." Adrian moved to get up, and right under where she was lying were dead bodies. Like the pit was deeper and Adrian had just been lying on dead bodies for days now. It reeked and she herself was in serious need for a bath and a cast, seeing that her left arm, the arm she had been lying on, was now rendered useless and her right leg was bent at an odd angle. Still despite this she managed to pull herself up and lean against a wall. "I want to get out... of here..."

Mephi wrinkled her nose at the scene, playing with her braid. "Wow, someone's a little dense aren't we? Doesn't the name Rafiel ring a bell?" She said this with no amount of vehemacy, or annoyance. Just blandly, as if not blaiming the girl to have forgotten. Especially in this state. "Golly, you could a use a bath...and a good few limb replacements." Mephi turned her attention to the walls, narrowing her eyes and looking about.
"But you're right about one thing. We need to get out first. Now, that's easy enough for me. But, you need out to. Now, let's just see here," she turned her back to Adrian, bending down to look the walls over. Mephi began to hum to herself, as she seemed to think as to how to get them out.

Adrian now coalculated that she wasn't dead. For one thing, she didn't see Hyde or any of his family or workers when she'd closed her eyes and two, she did recognize the name Rafiel. "Ra... Rafiel?" She asked, her eyes closed again as if trying to remember what he looked like. "Who.. who are you?" She asked, tilting her head. "I need to get out of here.."

"Wow, you're even worse off than I thought," Mephi mumbled softly, seeming to smile to herself. Spinning around, she struck a girly pose. "I am Mephiana, Older sister to your husband...boyfriend...thing, and one and only niece to Mephistopheles himself, the top dog in the afterlife." She grinned, before an idea seemed to strike her. "Oh! That's right! I can just zap you to one of the inbetween realms!! Lulu and Owx and Quiv and all those little freaks can help you out!!"

"I don't care.. just get me away from here before she comes back..." Adrian said, seeming like she was waving in and out of unconsiousness. "Please, Mephiana..." Adrian pleaded, not being able to hold herself against the wall. She landed again on her side, having used up all her energy just my leaning against a mud wall.

Mephi made a face, a sort of 'I feel soooo sorry for you' face. She laid a hand against Adrian gently, turning the girl transparent as well. Then, suddenly, it was as if someone turned out the lights and everything went black.
---
What would have seemed like a few seconds passed by, and the sound of rather poor whisperers whispering above Adrian could be heard. They seemed to be discussing random things, their voices getting louder and softer as they remembered and forgot about the body lying on the bed of white sheets before them.

Adrian let out a moan purposefully, to let them know she could hear them. Opening her eyes she took more raspy deep breaths and just let her eyeballs wander over any body part and room corner she could see in her wide perspective.

The actual room itself...didn't seem to have an end. Sure, far off there were these odd looking white-blue walls...but everything else seemed to hold a semi-digitzed look. Funny, looked exactly like the Nobody's Castle from KH2...
The people over her bed glanced at her, all unfamiliar faces. One such face, that of a boy no older than fourteen with floppy blue ears that seemed to boast no species, and glowing green bar codes on them, turned his attention to her. Over his rigth eye there was some sort of...mechanic magnifying lens...thing strapped on. "Well, she's not dead. No bone marrow in the blood stream, like Phineas."
"Oh, I know right?" Another person spoke up, this one with wild brown hair and what seemed to be green ears poking out form beneath. This boy...had no face. Other than a mouth full of sharp dagger teeth, everything else was completley smooth. "I can't believe they killed that character off like that. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. Bone marrow in the blood stream, jeez."
"Guys! SHHH!!' At this point, Mephi had reappeared leaning over the two, pressing a finger to her lips. "ixnay on the eathday."

Adrian didn't recognize the name Phineas, but recognizd the pig latin and looked up at Mephi, deciding not to bring it up. "Who are you people?" she asked confusedly and sat up slowly, leaning against her good arm so she could look at her clothing if it was even there anymore. Beneath the clothing were these large streaks of exposed rib cage and besides that, a lot of bruises and bullet wounds on her legs and arms and stomach. They would've seen that if they'd taken off her clothing and went to go wash them already.

Lunkily for her, they'd already taken away her clothing. And, seemingly, worked to patch her up a bit. Mephi smiled at Adrian, pushing the two boys away from the area. Both backed off without a fight, standing just within sight.
"Well, Adrian, you don't know these people. This is Owx," She said, poiting to the boy with the wild hair and green ears; who also sported a blue and red mushroom floating about his head. "This other boy here is Iggy. He's our...your doctor. I'm forecasting you next question will be something along the lines of 'Where the hell am I, correct?" Mephi smiled as she tilted her head to one side. "To answer that, I can only say you're inbetween the mortal realm and the main realm. This place has no specific name. Save call it the Nobody Fortress."

Adrian, being in a bit of a better mood, laughed thought coughed at the end but still smirked. "Gee, the name fits, huh?" she asked teasingly and waved her hand at the boys to let them know she was just joking. "Really," she coughed here, "Thank you for taking care of this useless body..." she wihspered to them, not being able to raise her voice any higher.

"It won't be useless much longer," Iggy replied, turning his back to them and seeming to sift around through items on a rather clear table.
"Oooh, I wouldn't say that!" Mephi said with a grin. "You might upset this Fortress' ruler...though, I don't think she can do so much to you..."

Adrian looked around her. There was not much she could do while just lying here naked with a broken arm and leg. "And who may that be?" Adrian asked raspily and coughed a bit
((Not much to type...))

"Uh...well...we don't mention her name. If we say it, she'll come running and I don't thi-" before Mephi could finish her sentance, there came the sound of a loud squeal. Mephi leaned foreward violently as something latched onto the back of her head, holding fast.
Two eyes of a green-grey color looked at Adrian from behind locks of dark brown and orange, eyes narrowed in a curious manner. Upon the creature - or perhaps it was a girl?-'s head was a hat, made to mimick the Pokemon Gengar. "WHOOOOO is this?!" She questioned, her voice covered in a mask of falisfied annoyance. "And WHYYYYYY is she here?!"

Adrian had no energy to talk anymore, she just looked at the girl with her eyes half open. She tried to speak but couldn't say anything above a whisper and it was very unclear. Adrian looked to Mephi to help and then coughed, turnign her head away.

Mephi shoved the girl off gently. "Shh, she's sick!"
"Well, you coulda said something!" The girl replied indignantly, hopping up onto the side of Adrian's bed. "So, ya sick? You look like someone just dragged you out of a ditch. Ha! Need me to fix that?"

"If you would... it's be much preciated," Adrian nodded, whispering as loudly as she could. How little the girl knew! Adrian HAD been pulled out of the ditch. Or was the girl mocking her? It's all confusing to a nearly dead girl.

The girl grinned, and Mephi reached out a hand. "Lulu, becareful..."
Lulu seemed to ignora Mephi as she slammed her hands down on Adrian's chest. This caused oth a loud 'BOOM', and sent a wave through Adrian's body that would ahve caused even her flesh to rise and fall. This would have done one of the follow; A) the most likely one, fixed her or B) made things worse.
