I'm glad I got around to reading this. Excellent, Amber, I love it. Please write more soon.
On another note, do you really think it probable I'd be included in 'the seven'? I ,for one ,don't but I'm flattered that you think I would.

I'll write more once I've gotten over my tired-ness. Or tonight, either way.

Maybe it wasn't that night. I've not finished this bit totally yet, but I'm going to post a part of it, before I go to bed. PJ still hadn’t got the hang of the teleporting and he ended up miles away from the main part of the island. He was in the Ice District, which was at the south of the island, almost right next to the sea. He got up, and stumbled the short distance to reach the beach. Though it wasn’t a beach of sand, what he was sat on was made up entirely of very light snow. It was so light that he hadn’t noticed it had been falling on him as he sat. He was soaked to the skin and cold. The snow was setting in his hair and he ran his hand through it to dislodge the snow. He thought he looked quite cool, but was disappointed that no one was around to watch him. “Uhh, hello?” He called, only half expecting an answer. “Hey.” A voice came from the other end of the beach. Or PJ thought it came from the other end of the beach, but it didn’t, it came from behind him. But as the wind was so strong the person’s voice was carried away by it. PJ jumped, he actually found he wasn’t expecting an answer at all. “Don’t be so surprised, you said hello first” PJ looked to his left, where he believed the voice was coming from and saw no one there. “But I wasn’t expecting and answer” PJ replied. “Then why did you call? You’re dumb” The voice giggled and PJ’s brain clicked into gear as he began to recognise the high, piercing voice. “I am not dumb” PJ said “What are you doing here, anyway?” “I think the question is, what are you doing here?” The voice trilled “I needed to cool down” PJ said, “It’s not a lie” he thought “Oh, well I was chasing my hamster and I tripped on a rock and I fell. Then these people with tinfoil on their heads took me away in their huge ship, which looked like one of those ships in a bottle, except without the bottle.” She chirped “Definitely a she” PJ’s mind was whirring away as he was trying to find where the voice was coming from. “What actually happened?” PJ asked. “I was crying and couldn’t see where I was going. I fell into a stream and ended up here” She said. “I preferred my other version” “When did you get here?” “A few weeks ago” “And you haven’t thought of getting back” “How could I? I mean, how could I get home, without anyone here to help me? I’ve been left on this FREAKING BEACH FOR MONTHS AND NO ONE EVEN BOTHED TO COME LOOKING. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES ME FEEL? ?” She said and PJ located the voice, as coming from behind him.

I know who the little girl is. It's not that hard...and I think PJ may be lucky to escape with his life...good stuff, Amber.

Indeed, all the good comments are taken.
So pretend I said something really complementary and original, as I'd have liked to.

This is a bit short, but I decided to end this chapter here rather than follow PJ around even more.
He turned and saw a small child, clutching a hamster doll, tears pouring from her eyes. She truly was a pathetic sight, couldn’t be older than eleven, or twelve.
Eleven or twelve.
PJ’s brain suddenly named the child, and he mentally kicked himself for not knowing earlier.
“CCV?” PJ asked, quietly.
“YES” She bawled, still in her high pitched, breathy voice
PJ noticed the tears in her clothes at her knees and elbows. He also noted the state or her hair and her general appearance. He noticed himself feeling sorry for her and trying to think about what he could do to take her back.
“I could put her in the desert, but she’d get attacked by greater spammers.” He thought,
“But I can’t take her back to the mainland, she’d cause havoc and Dante is already mad at me”
“But I can’t leave her here, even if she isn’t being picked on”
“Bah” He said out loud.
“What?” She spat at him
“I’m deciding what to do with you, so I’d be a little nicer if I were you” He growled.
He liked the way his voice sounded and thought to run his hand through his hair, just for effect as it had stopped snowing. She laughed at him and he was disappointed once more.
“It’s stopped snowing” She pointed out.
PJ didn’t say that he knew that, he preferred to pretend that he thought it was still snowing.
“Has it? Oh yeah.” He bluffed.
“So what are you going to do with me then?” She asked sweetly. PJ cringed at the sound of her voice, it grated on his ears.
“I suppose I’m going to take you back to the mainland.” He sighed, no changing his mind now.
“Oh Yay!!!” She said jumping up and waving her arms, almost smacking PJ in the face but he teleported out of the way just in time
“Oh I’m sorr-” She started “HEY, WHER’D YOU GO?” She screamed.
“Oi, calm down” PJ said, from behind her. “Just a cool thing I’m able to do now” He tried one last time at putting his hand through his hair but his hand got stuck. Instead of looking cool he looked strange, as he eased his hand out of his hair, wincing.
“OH” She said, “So you can vanishy thing”
“I prefer the term teleport” PJ said.
“That sounds really cool” She said. PJ smirked.
“Okay let’s go. I’ll dump you by the log-in and I need to go sort a few things out” PJ said finally.
“Can I come with you?” She asked “Please let me, I’ll feel so included. Can I?”
“No” He said, wondering what the others would do if he brought CCV back with him. In his mind he pictured a scene with him appearing with CCV, and then imagined the others laughing at him for taking pity on her. Especially Derik. He hated it when Derik made him look like a fool, even though it usually didn’t take much work on Derik’s part. He shuddered and looked back at CCV
“Sorry, it’s private stuff” He said.
“B…B…BUT I WANT TO COME WITH YOU.” She screamed, PJ covered his ears at the sound of her voice.
“I want to get out of here” PJ said.
“DON’T YOU DARE” She yelled “THAT VANISHY THING DOESN’T MAKE YOU CLEVER OR BIG.” She shrieked. PJ fell to his knees as the high notes pained him.
“WILL YOU SHUT UP?” He roared at her.
She sniffed “Why?”
“Because your voice, it’s painful.”
“Is not” She huffed.
“It is and that’s it.” PJ said
She looked at him “You aren’t going to leave me, are you?”
“I’m sorry.” He said, looking back at her “It’s for your own good.”
“NO” She screeched “DON’T YOU GO LEAVING WITHOUT ME” She said and dived for PJ who teleported away, before she could touch him.

One almost feels sorry for CCV in this scene. I could have done some neat things with her in Divided if she hadn't been the final enemy.
One has to feel sorry for PJ. We just write fanfics to mock him, really.

CCV and PJ were both depicted accurately,and humorously.
I agree with Dante; PJ gets mocked a lot in fanfics.

Meanwhile, up on the mountain top the remaining six were trying to calm Dante down. When PJ had disappeared he was sending balls of fire towards where PJ was stood. When they missed he got even more annoyed and started randomly setting fire to the surroundings.
He hit a branch of a tree which fell and landed on Akbar who yelped and tried to get away, but the branch had him trapped. Derik closed his eyes and concentrated on it, soon it was far enough off of the ground to let Akbar quickly get out of the way. Derik dropped it and opened his eyes.
“That was heavy, I need to sit down” He gasped as he wandered off towards where Ennui and Amber were stood talking.
Watching Akbar clutch his arm in agony subdued Dante slightly. He muttered an apology and followed Derik.
Antenora quickly went to Akbar, to see the how badly his arm was wounded. The fire that Dante could make wasn’t normal fire, it was much worse. This fire was much more destructive, it had the ability to tear houses down in seconds, and Antenora thought Akbar was lucky that Derik was around. She moved his arm so she could see it better. She noted that it was getting dark; they had been here for over a day now.
Akbar winced as Antenora moved his arm, he was annoyed at Dante but he knew that he didn’t really mean to hurt him, he just got very angry, very quickly. As Antenora inspected his arm he looked around him. The beautiful landscape that was the island, was now cluttered with fallen buildings and unused homes.
Akbar was quite new and he hadn’t seen the days when every house was lived in, and everyone was welcome everywhere. He had been told that then most people lived in the centre of the island and the transport was brand new and still smelt of paint. The island as he knew it was with everyone living wherever was most convenient for them, only a few lived in the centre nowadays. The six people he was with lived there and they often had long talks. Usually some just listened and quietly agreed. They were all upset when they saw the arguments between J and M, two great members of the island. The transport had deteriorated also; it no longer smelt of paint but of dirt and grime. They were in general unsafe and noisy, Akbar had joined a long time after the transport had, in the main been abandoned. He was unsure why they still ran, but most things that happened on proboards had yet to be explained, or was unnecessary. Akbar was abruptly brought back to reality as Antenora touched his arm, he winced at the pain but soon found that the pain was slowly decreasing.
Antenora was examining Akbar’s arm, Dante’s flames had hurt it quite badly. The flesh had been burnt and his skin had blistered from his wrist to his elbow. She turned his arm over and saw that it was just as bad, if not worse, on the other side. She put her hand above his skin and felt it radiating heat. She touched his arm and found that it felt like it was still on fire. Her fingers started to cool rapidly. Soon her hands felt icy cold. She placed one of her hands flat on his arm and Akbar winced, but soon sighed in relief.
When Antenora moved her hand away from his arm she saw that where it had been the skin had healed. She touched this skin and Akbar didn’t wince or even show any pain.
“Does this hurt?” She asked him.
She put her hand on Akbar’s arm and pressed down. He shook his head.
“Ah, well, what about this?” She put her finger on a part of Akbar’s arm which hadn’t healed.
“A little” He gasped, grimacing
A few seconds later his face returned to its normal state.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore” He said as Antenora took her finger away once more.
He looked shocked as he saw that the skin was still repairing, even after she had removed her finger. The wound seemed to sink into his flesh, even Antenora looked somewhat disturbed.
At this moment, PJ appeared. He hoped that he had mastered the art of appearing where he wanted to. But he had already been to the island high street and somewhere that looked like a tacky Chinese takeaway in Birmingham. He decided not to tell the others this.
“Woah, creepy” he said as he saw Akbar’s healing arm.
“PJ” Dante growled from the other side of the clearing, he made to walk over to PJ, but judging from the look in his eyes, Ennui thought that it probably wasn’t the best thing. He leapt over to Dante and stopped him getting any nearer PJ.
“Probably best if we wait until tomorrow.” He said. “Though, it would be funny to see you flame PJ…”
“Literally” Amber added. “I’ll go see what all the fuss is about” she said as she walked over to Antenora, PJ and Akbar.
“I’ll go too, but I’ll find out where PJ has been” Derik said, following Amber.
“How long do you think we’ll have to be here? It’s already been over a day.” Dante asked Ennui.
“When did we get here again? I’ve completely forgotten, considering today’s events.” Ennui said.
“Now you say that I can’t think either. It must have been sometime yesterday, as we didn’t bring a tent or anything that would let us stay overnight.” Dante replied.
“Ah yes. I remember. We came here yesterday morning intending to stay until the evening. But then the storm kicked in” Ennui looked worried. “Did we tell anyone where we were going? Because someone is going to start looking for us eventually.”
“I think we kept pretty quiet. As normal members,” He looked at Amber, Akbar, PJ and then back at Ennui “aren’t strictly allowed anywhere near Ruefully Restricted Mountains”
“Since the time when PJ got in?” Ennui said nodding.
“Yes, though even if they do get past the outside door, it’s still miles until the meeting chambers. And it’s not exactly the safest walk, is it?” Dante said.
“No.” Ennui agreed. “Do you have any food, as I’m quite hungry and I’m quite sure I’m not the only one?” He added.
“Not on me, but there is plenty of food down on the island” Dante replied.
“Do you think we could send Derik or PJ to go and get it?” Ennui asked.
“What happens if someone watched them appear out of thin air?” Dante asked.
“If we sent Derik, we wouldn’t have that problem. He is global moderator and is expected to appear all over the place” Ennui said.
“I suppose. If we sent PJ not only would it cause confusion if he were seen, we aren’t sure if he ends up where he says he will when he teleports.” Dante said, turning and glaring at PJ’s back.
“What happens if someone asks about us? Do you think it’s best for Derik to say that he doesn’t know where we are?” Ennui questioned
“Not really. As Derik is usually with us. And he knows where everyone is, all of the time” Dante pointed out.
“Hmm. What could he say though, as it would look a bit suspicious, us all missing and Derik grabbing food from our kitchens?”
“He could say we were ill.” Dante replied.
“All of us?” Ennui said.
“We could have gotten food poisoning from the picnic?” Dante said.
“The picnic half of us weren’t allowed to go to, but we did anyway?” Ennui said
“Oh yeah. Maybe we could send Derik in the middle of the night to raid our kitchens,” Dante said,
“Okay, but I’ll go see if we have any left over food,” Ennui said, walking away, leaving Dante alone with his thoughts
He was feeling quite calm now and hoped that he wasn’t going to cause any more damage. He walked over to where Akbar was sat. The others were stood around watching his arm. Dante wondered what could be so interesting about Akbar’s arm.
