<strong>Name:</strong><strong>Adell Zephyros</strong>(Color =<strong>Bolded Red</strong>)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Playing Tag?.<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Eleanor Byrd Rose<br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/3d7aebe92db19ffbe63200d2c27c9107/http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn249/ExSoldier-Of-Death/Adell1.png)</div>Just as his fingers were about to graze her flowing pink locks, he realized she was moving way faster than any normal human. Time all around them seemed to slow down to a crawl, yet Eleanor was still moving at normal speed. She seemed to be moving so fast, she created after-images of herself as she literally jumped over him and used his head to propel her even higher. Time quickly returned to normal speed and Adell smashed into a thicket of bushes. With a groan, he regulated himself and sat up. As his fiery red head popped up from the greenery, there was a chipper squirrel nestled on top of him.<strong>"Ow..."</strong>He opened a single blue eye, only to see Eleanor giggling playfully as she made her way across the store awnings in graceful, effortless bounds. He smirked, then his eyes rolled up to look at the squirrel, which was very comfortable sitting on top of his head.<strong>"She's fast isn't she? But I'll get her. She can't run all day. Nobody has that much energy."</strong><br/><br/>Oh was he wrong...<br/><br/>Adell had honestly spent the entire afternoon exhausting every bit of energy he could muster attempting to capture the pink-haired witch/weapon. Every time he thought he had her, or that she had no where to run,s he always managed to wiggle right out of his grasp. He tried to chase her through crowded areas, but she always managed to weave through the crowd without getting slowed down. He tried to descend upon her from above, but she always seemed to dodge him at just the last second. Whether she was jumping over him, spinning off to the side, or ducking beneath him as he lunged at her, she just kept getting away. Even when he had her cornered she would just find some type of way to leap overhead. He was wasn't getting tired though. His soul burned like a nuclear power plant giving him ample amounts of energy. So what if she was faster than him? He'd just keep going until eventually she got tired. Though it didn't seem like she was tiring in the least.<br/><br/>This girl had years worth of endurance. Whatever he threw at her she would dodge it just as easily as the last. He had to admit though, he was impressed. Adell had been through some seriously intense training over the past year, and even though he didn't focus much on his running speed, he was still pretty agile. Eleanor seemed like she was on a-whole-nother level of speed, however. Catching her became less about trying to get a date, and more about improving his own speed. She was incredible the way she moved. If he could get up to her level, or even close, he'd be unstoppable. They'd be unstoppable.<br/><br/>Adell managed to chase the girl all the way back to the school grounds and just when he thought he had her cornered again, she managed to dodge at just the last second. As if the gravity had switched to zero all of a sudden, Eleanor gracefully ascended up to the second floor awning before propelling herself against one of the pillars, and then jumping from there onto the school's roof. Adell looked up to see his prey standing on the high roof looking down upon him. At first, he was trying to think of a way to get her, but then his face flushed a light tint of red and he averted his eyes to the left a bit. Standing on high ground and wearing a skirt at the same time probably wasn't the best idea. Someone could easily take advantage and sneak a peek. Adell was tempted, but he was cooler than that. He really wanted to though.<br/><br/><strong>"Alright, here we go!"</strong><br/><br/>He rushed forward and ran up the wall as hard as he could. As he felt gravity bearing down on him, he pushed off with his legs and landed on the same pillar Eleanor used before, but he was a few feet shorter than her mark.<strong>"Shit!"</strong>He pushed off ad spun around towards the building, but was way too short to land the jump. He almost missed completely, but he was able to reach up and grip the edge of the roof with his hands. He breathed a sigh of relief as he hung there for a moment. A fall from this height might actually put him in the hospital. It was dangerous, yeah, but there were very little places for her to run now.<br/><br/>He pulled himself up and swung his right leg onto the roof, then stood. Eleanor was on the other side of the roof, but they were still in pretty close proximity. He smirked at her. There was no place for her to run. At this height trying to just jump down would be near suicidal. She wouldn't try something like that, would she? He moved towards the left, and she mirrored him; moving to the right. They stalked one-another like two lions preparing to clash. Finally, after switching positions, Adell took a step forward. He was going to rush forward, but then cut to the left knowing she'd dodge to the right. Only thing was: there wasn't that much roof left. She'd have to stop before she fell, and then he'd be able to grab her. It would be flawless. All she had to do was not fall...<br/><br/>But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he happened to notice she was taking a step back where there was no more roof to walk along. He went to call out to her, but as soon as he went to, his eyes filled with shock as he realized she was falling.<strong>"ELEANOR!"</strong>With one powerful boost of speed, he tore towards the edge of the roof and lunged over the edge without a second thought. He reached out for where he thought she would be if she was still falling, but just as he cleared the edge of the roof, he realized he was sailing right past her. The girl's wings were splayed and flapping lively.<br/><br/><strong>~Oh right... she can fly...~</strong><br/><br/>There was a pause as he took in the situation. She could fly, but he couldn't. They were extremely high up, and he was falling head-first towards the ground. This wasn't going to end well for him, was it?<br/><br/>Time resumed as normal, and Adell went speeding towards the ground. He tried to regulate himself, but flailing his arms wildly was no substitute for actual wings. This was going to hurt...!
