Narration:

Prelude Narration:: The year is 2011 and the advances in science have led to a discovery that could cost all life. This near unstoppable force was named Poneros *Greek (Evil)+. Only the scientists whove studied the Poneros know of its damage. Civilians, nobles, even military officers were only able to come up with common rumors about the Poneros power. Some stated it had the ability to kill a state within minutes of its release. Some doubted its power claiming the Poneros itself was a myth. Others believed that the Poneros was not of evil; but of powerful immortality. These kinds of people lusted for Poneros power. Such people are those like new Commander General Vladamir Ceasar Cage Lenin Adir of the Malum Castodes of the Southern State. Vladamirs sole mission is to retrieve the Poneros, which is in an unknown location; but also known to be guarded by the Malum Castodes enemy, the Northern State. The Northern State was appointed by the scientists to hide and guard the Poneros. The Poneros was sealed within an orb called a Gyre and was hidden in only a spot where the scientists, the Governor of the Northern State, and the Commander General knew of. Due to the bias leaning towards the Northern State, a war had begun. The main teams: the Southern States Malum Castodes vs. The Northern States Terentia. For more than 5, more than 10, more than 15 years; that war continued. All scientists were either assassinated or missing. In the Neutral States such as the Eastern State and the Western state various riots would occur, whether it concerned the Terentia, the Malum Castodes, or the war in general. No one was considered safe. So the questions linger on. What is this Poneros that caused this war in the first place? Where is the Poneros? If found, will the anarchy of the world end? Through few young minds filled with everything EXCEPT the said above; the questions that hover over the world will be answered through a drop of fate. ~~~ Yes I know I edited the summary... A lot. Its more detailed and I know it doesnt go in depth on the theme of romance, and adventure, but remember how this entire thing started? Besides; I mentioned fate in there didnt I? That gives off a hint somewhere. I dont know youre guys plot lines, thats for you to tell. Im just giving the general thing thats going on right now.

States though, are much larger in area. So it looks like a Continent. World History: The world has the same history as regular history, but the areas look slightly different. Since there are 4 States, the world is mostly divided into 4. Excluding Antarctica. Culture: By this time (2011+), the entire world is culturally diverse. So when we refer to the Northern State; dont think of Europeans, but a mixture of people that we who live in the U.S.A. Time Zones: Time zones are still in play, if wanted. DATE AND TIME IS A MUST IN THIS ROLEPLAY! Do you know how hard it is to reorganize a roleplay into a comic without a time slot to know what goes in order?! Its madness. --MILITARY AND SOCIAL TECHNICALITIES:: 4 States:: Northern State: -Military Name: Terentia -Military Insignia: Angel Wing w/ a Gold Halo around it -Colors: Gold, White, Lighter colors -Capital: Cerulean -Governed: (Unknown Character) -Commander General: (Known, but unnamed character) Southern State: -Military Name: Malum Castodes -Military Insignia: Black Fire with a Gold Halo around it -Colors: Gold, Black, Dark colors -Capital: Illumini -Governor: Unnamed -Commander General: Vladamir Caesar Cage Lenin Adir Eastern State Capital: Lumeria

Western State Capital: Vega WESTERN STATE AND EASTERN STATE SPECIFICS WILL BE REVEALED IN THE 2ND ROLEPLAY. THEYRE NEAR IRRELEVANT TO NOW. (New readers; don't concern yourself with this. It'll all be revealed later.) Ranks of Military (All follow same ranking system):: 1. Governor (more of Political Rule, but not an RPable character unless decided so) 2. Commander General 3.

It was depressing... but it wasn't the rain that made it depressing... It was the parting of ways... --

Lysander: Are you sure you don't want us to come with you? Dahlia: ... I'll be fine ... Naimah: If you want us to join you, you can just give us a call. Dahlia: Don't worry, I won't be calling. The group stared at their fiery headed friend. She was the one that convinced them to join this journey with her 7 months ago... And now she was being the one to tell them to go back. For she would continue her journey on her own. Dahlia: I know my history is here in Lumeria... and so is Michelle. She stared at the grave in front of her. Then the rain poured harder. What changed? The tragic event that occurred only twenty days earlier. -*Flashback* Dahlia: Michelle, you've got to pull through. Dahlia ran through the corridors of the hideout looking through every room with a now frantic look on her face. Each door she opened... Empty... Empty... Empty. Suddenly person tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around... Dahlia: Zaniel, Lysander... Zaniel: I have a plan that would get us to Michelle quickly. Dahlia's eyes widened with slight hope. Zaniel: You and Lysander need to be caught. And so that was that. The two ladies showed themselves to the Ronin and 'surrendered.' They were then taken to the main room where the 'examination' and 'extraction' of the Kaishen was being held. Dahlia: MICHELLE!! Michelle turned to Dahlia and gave a weak smile. She was strapped to a table with lights shining on her as if she were about to go through surgery. Dahlia began to struggle against the Ronin's grip, but the Ronin had certain material in their gloves made for defense against one's powers. Dahlia and Lysander were then pushed into a room next to it where they could see Michelle through a small window. Dahlia began to try and break the door while Lysander waited for Zaniel's spell. Zaniel: I'm assuming you can hear me? Lysander: You guys know where we are right? Alcander: Yes. Naimah: We're on our way. Dahlia: We'll... try.... to stall... as much... as we can... Dahlia continued to 'strain' to open the door and Lysander joined her. The others made their way to the main room... just as the 'extraction' was about to begin.

It was then when Michelle started screaming as loud as she can. Ronin 1: Someone SHUT HER UP ALREADY!!!! 3 of the Ronin too the table and began to wheel it toward a large plastic dome with various machinery. Dahlia punched the door that separated her and Dahlia. Dahlia: YOU HURT HER I WILL SLAUGHTER EVERYONE OF YOU!!!! Ronin 1: ... And when you're done, deal with those rats as well. Lysander: Rats!?! Dahlia punched the door again... Dahlia: ... I don't think I can 'stall' I'm going to chop some heads or die doing so... Lysander: ... Ronin 1: Let's begin this. Lysander: ... Go for it. BAM! Dahlia froze the steel door and both she and Lysander kicked it open making it fall on the Ronin that were to approach them and have them 'dealt with.' Lysander: I'll go for the other guys! Dahlia: Don't let them get in my way! Lysander: I make no guarantees. The two split ways and as Lysander went for the other 13 Ronin, Dahlia went for Michelle... which apparently had 5 of the 13 Ronin Lysander we going for. Dahlia opened a water bottle spilling it all over the floor. She instantly froze all of their feet and skated along the ice throwing ice shards at them but they only gazed their sides. She didn't care really. They weren't her focus. Lysander took the other remaining Ronin two by the many. She created two .50cal Smith & Wessons and fired it at opposite directions. Direct hits at 6 out of the 8. But just as fast as they went, more came. And as more came; the rest of the group bashed through the door. Naimah: Sorry we're late. Klaus: Yeah, we ran into some trouble in the hall at the 2nd floor. *quickly shows Ronin lying face down in the hall*

Lysander: ... That was corny. Alcander: Indeed. Ronin: ... ugh. More rats. Reply to This

And more keep coming through that door. *points* Alcander and Zaniel nodded at each other. Alcander: Formation C it is then. The 5 split directions, claiming different Ronin. Naimah speedily teleported in giving direct hits at the Ronin. It wouldn't take Jonah long to take his out either, they all basically came to him wanting a fight. Klaus would merge with different Ronin instantly figuring out their weapons and powers, if they had any. Then he would use them against the other

Ronin, killing 2 idiots with one hit. Alcander with his Chi, created energy blasts wiping out mass Ronin. Lysander continued to back up Dahlia shooting at Ronin with her .50 that seemed to have an endless amount of bullets. Zaniel made his way over to the door and casted a spell that locked it. He began to say another spell to fatally damage the Ronin on the other side. Yet his concentration broke when he heard on of the Ronin Shout a certain someone's name. Ronin *behind the door*: .... Sir Alcander! Zaniel turned his head in the direction they were facing. Levin stared right back. He glared at the Ronin on the other side of the door. He generated an energy blast and aimed it at the Ronin's head, but then turned his hand and shot it at another Ronin charging towards him. Zaniel blinked at the sudden movement, but then focused his concentration back on his spell. Dahlia tried freezing the glasses the breaking it. She tried finding the opening. Its like there was no way into the dome. She cursed. She knocked on the glass getting Michelle's attention. She gave Dahlia a tired smile. Dahlia gave her a determined look then faced somewhere else... She noticed the Ronin leader trying to activate the machine. She got Naimah's attention. And they teleported her behind the Ronin.

We drove for hours on end looking for the one place no one would look. The technology the scientists were able to bring with them changed the barren rock landscape to a lush green forest with an occasional meadow and waterfalls. It seemed like there were acres of land where none stood. Technology really is amazing. Sofiel! Sofiel looked up from her journal to the scientist walking towards her. She was sitting in one of the 3 meadows that are hidden in the forest. His name was Oak, Sofiel didn't know if he had a first name or not, all she knew was that he was the greatest scientist in the whole group. Oak was a tall man, about 30 years old, he had graying hair that occured because of all the stress over the years. But he was polite and was always kind towards Sofiel despite his "Old Man" look. Sofiel: Good morning Professor Oak. How are you today? Oak: I am quite well, I was wondering about wether or not you finished recalibrating the food dispenser so it won't always give us tomato soup for dinner. Sofiel: Yes, now it should dispense whichever item you choose

Oak: thank you so much, we really should replace that old thing Reply to This

He stepped to the side making Dahlia nearly land on the lever that would cause Michelle to lose her powers and practically her life. The ronin leader kicked Dahlia to the ground and Naimah made her charge at him. Front kicks, punches, basic combats. It seemed like an even fight until the Ronin tripped her, grabbed Naimah by the collar and threw her across the room. Jonah caught her and she was about to go back for back up yet again, but Dahlia yelled, "Help the others!!" Naimah turned and began to fight the other ronin, but also kept a close eye on the battle going on between Dahlia and the Ronin leader. The Ronin leader made his way to Dahlia who was trying to figure out the buttons to the machine and forwarded his punch, Dahlia blocked and grabbed his wrist pulling him forward kneeing him in the ab; then punched; then kicked. But he grabbed her ankle just as she was pulling back and threw her toward the rusty metal walls. One of them gashed her arm. Michelle could her a short but alerting cry from outside the glass dome. She turned her head toward the upper left and saw Dahlia clutching her arm. "....DAHLIA!!" She screamed trying to wiggle out of her straps, but had little success. Dahlia stood up opened up another bottle of water she had and created ice shards piercing his right leg and his left shoulder. He was about to draw one of his weapons, but Dahlia ran at him and practically tackled him making them both fall on the machine. Dahlia Punched him in the face once but he caught her fist the 2nd and then turned her over, but this action triggered what was trying to be prevented in the first place. The lever was pulled.. or rather pushed... Michelle let out an ear shattering scream. "Shit! SOMEONE HELP HER PLEASE!!!" Dahlia pleaded while trying to wrestle the Ronin leader. Lysander nodded at Naimah and Jonah who rushed to the aid of Michelle. Jonah tried to find ways to break the dome open while Naimah ran toward the control panel. Dahlia and the Ronin leader continued to battle. But to make sure that he couldn't get to the control panell with out suffering fatal damage, she created a pillar of ice that set them higher above everyone else.

Anyway, where were we?... Oh right. ~~~ Jonah continued to make small cracks in the wall calling out to Michelle. Jonah: MICHELLE!! CONCENTRATE! YOU'VE GOT TO USE THE ENERGY YOU HAVE LEFT!! Michelle: I can't-- *straining* I--- I... They then heard a gun shot from the high pillar where Dahlia and the Ronin leader were battling. Michelle: D-- D-- Dahlia.... She attempted once again to try to break away from the straps. As hard as she could. Naimah found the lever that had triggered the machine and pulled it back down. The Machine shut down and Jonah broke the glass of the dome and he and Naimah ran to unstrap Michelle who was gasping for breath. Michelle slid off table, Jonah and Naimah catching her. Michelle: D-- I need to help her! She began to regain her balance. Naimah: You've got barely any life in you left-Michelle: Then let me use whatever I have left. I think I still have my speed... Michelle quickly thanked Naimah and Jonah and took over toward the jagged pillar. -The leader drew out his gun and fired a shot at Dahlia. She blocked it by creating a shield of thick ice. She then created her usual ice shard by 5's firing at the leader. The shards would only hit his clothing as he would dodge them. He rushed toward the shield of ice, kickinking, and breaking it. He slid towards Dahlia making her jump and then losing her footing sliding towards the edge of the pillar. She looked down and saw that the Machine had been turned off and Naimah and Jonah were running toward Michelle. A small smile appeared on her face, but not for long as she quickly regained focus on her opponent. He tried to shoot her again, but she covered herself with her shield then wrestled him to the ground. This time for the gun. He had let go of the gun, but it sled down toward the other side. 3 feet away from the edge. Dahlia and the leader dashed for weapon. Dahlia froze the bottom of the leaders boots, but the leader removed them and elbowed Dahlia at the back of her neck. He had reached the gun with he bloody hands and aimed it Dahlia as she made another ice shard. Ronin Leader: YOU'VE RUINED ME! I'LL KILL YOU AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!

BANG Dahlia: MICHELLE!!!! The brunette slumped down into Dahlia's arms... she bleed profusely. Dahlia looked up at the Ronin leader who stared at the kaishen he had been wanting to kill... then he fell backwards... then slid off the pillar slaming full force into the concrete....The shard had a direct hit at his heart... On top of the pillar, Michelle laid on Dahlias lap. Dahlia: Why did you do that!?! Michelle: I wanted to use the rest of what I had... You've always protected me... Dahlia: I wanted you to live!! Dahlia began to tear... Michelle: It will be okay in the end Dahlia. I'll be here...... you know I will... Dahlia fell silent... Michelle: I love you Dahlia. Thank you. and your friends... Dahlia: I love you too... I-- I.... Michelle: yeah.... ~~~~~~~~ Dahlia placed another flower on Michelle's grave. The rain drenched her hair losing it's spike... The rest of the group stood behind her solemnly... -Dahlia: So are you all going to just walk back to the Academy? Naimah: I still think we should stay here with you Dahlia. Dahlia: No. I don't want anyone else to get included in this. Lysander: What happened to when we first started this journey? Dahlia slapped her friends on the back Dahlia: Hey, its the near mid 2000's. We'll connect with each other okay? The three laughed lightly. Dahlia: Well this is goodbye I guess... Klaus: What, nothing to say to us? Dahlia: Okay... *points at Klaus* Grow up. *points at Zaniel* come out of the closet and cut the uptight accent. *points at Jonah* Don't hurt Naimah. *points at Alcander* Get with Lysander or admit you're gay.

Delete Date: August 27, 2029 Time: 0800 Location: Southern State Adir Mansion The rain has stopped; the clouds parting, the sun peeks through. Light came through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the bed and the person on it. Alecander woke up; the minute the sun touched his face. Happy that the rain has stopped, he stood up and got ready for breakfast. ~~~~~ The morning was pleasant as always now that Alecander arrived.

"Mother? What are we having today?" he asked in a cheery voice after kissing her on the cheek. "Good morning Alec. Fayme made breakfast today," his mother replied while bringing a tray of drinks to the courtyard. Following his mother to the courtyard, he saw Fayme already sitting around the table. Fayme, are you that hungry? Alecander teased. Smiling at his teasing, she greeted him a good morning and gestured for him to sit in front of her. As Alecander was about to ask where the others are, Lawrence came out of the courtyard door, running to the table and excitedly sat in the chair next to Alecander. Lawrence, where are your manners? Leanne asked with an amused look on her face. Is that all of us? Where are the girls? Alecander asked Lawrence. Theyre still asleep Alec, let them be. He replied rapidly and grabbed some creeps, fruits, and pancakes in front of them and started to stuff himself. Alecander while being amused by Lawrence, also began to eat. Mother, I hate to tell you this, but Im leaving again after the party in the upcoming days. Alec said as fast as he can after a few bites of his pancakes. So quickly? Cant you stay longer? his mom asked sighing, You know that I havent spent proper time with you and your brother since he left without saying goodbye. You know I cant stay longer, mother.He replied while laughing lightly. But dont worry; Ill be back soon enough and maybe with Alcander in tow. Hearing him say that, Leanne couldnt but help smile. Okay, since I know that I cant stop you but remember to bring me back something Me too. Lawrence said with his mouth full. Reply to This

He looked at his closest sitting at the table with him. Leanne continued to bicker with Lawrence about his manners, and Fayme continued to look down at her food. Alecander: Your food is getting cold sister. Fayme: I'm not very hungry anymore. Leanne: You may be excused, dear. Fayme thanked Leanne and began to walk into the garden maze. Alecander: Oh dear. Something's bothering her again. Leanne? Leanne: You may be temporarily excused as well, Alec. ... Just bring a biscuit with you. Alecander took another biscuit and followed Fayme into the maze sitting in the swinging chair. He came up and patted her on the head. Alecander: Okay deary, what seems to be the matter? Fayme: I know Alcander told me to stay here, but ... but I can't help think that something is wrong... She looked up at him. Fayme: PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU!!! Reply to This

Sofiel stood up from the ground she was sitting on. Professor Oak chatted happily as they made their way back to the colony of tents in the forest. Oak: Sofiel are you listening? Sofiel: what? oh I am sorry Professor, I must have dazed off. Oak: you seem to "daze" off a lot, what ever do you think about? Sofiel: oh this and that, mostly about my past. Oak: may I ask you a personal question? Sofiel: sure Oak: why do you where that cloth around your face? None of us have ever seen your face except for your eyes. Sofiel: I've worn this for as long as I can remember, I think it started when my brother and I used to play cops and robbers.. Oak: you had a brother? Sofiel: I had a whole family, parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents..... they are all gone now though..... Oak: I am sorry for your loss. Sofiel: it was a long time ago, I was almost too young to even remember. They reached the tents and made for the mess hall, Sofiel greeted many scientists as they walked through to one of the food dispensers. Sofiel: this one here is the only one I have recalibrated so far, the others should be done soon. We will have to wait until tonight to see if it works. Oak: well if it does I know everyone here will be very grateful. Sofiel: it's my pleasure. after all I must live with and protect you and your fellow scientists until the Leader at the Terentia comes to relieve us from hiding. my job would be very hard to do if I didn't at least help to make your lives easier. Oak: yes well that is a very good point. I do wonder when he will send a team to, as you put it, "relieve" us. How long has it been now? Sofiel: for as long as I can remember. Reply to This

Send Message Delete Sofiel sat in her small tent listening to the only CD she had managed to bring with her. Ironically the song she was currently listening to was Runaway by Linkin Park. It reminded her of the night her family died. It reminded her of the greatest mistake she had ever made.

FLASHBACK At about the age of 12 at the time, Sofiel sat playing Marbles with her younger brother Carl. As she was taking one of his many Orange colored marbles, a slick black car drove up beside their driveway. Sofiel and Carl looked up from where they were sitting as a tall black man got out of the car. Man: Well good day children. Tell me, do you live here? Sofiel: Uh Yessum, we wouldn't be playing here if we didn't. Man: Of course, of course. Tell me, are you the children of Mr. and Mrs. Willman? Sofiel: Ye- *Carl tugs on her arm* Carl: I don't like this man, stop telling him things! *He whispers* Sofiel: But Momma always said to respect and obey our elders. That means answering their questions too. *She whispered back* Carl: Well I'm going to get Momma! *He runs in the house* Man: Where is he going? Sofiel: He said he was going to get Momma. He doesn't like you much. Do you know our parents or something? The tall man didn't answer but quickly brushed Sofiel aside as he hurried inside after the boy. Sofiel, about to follow, stopped quickly when she heard shouts and screams followed by gunshots and fighting. Afraid for her brother and family she ran inside after the man and saw a greusome site. The man lay in a puddle of blood, bullet holes in his chest. The rest of her family lay dead in various places. At the dining room table were her cousins, in the computer room lie her grandparents, down the hallway was Carl lying face down. Her father lay near Carl, as if he had tried to protect him, so was her mother. Sofiel already knew that her sisters would be dead in their rooms as well and, with tears streaming down her face, she ran away from the house. Not knowing that she would be found by the Terentia, not knowing that she would be trained in the ancient art of Rangers to become the most deadliest Black Panther/Assassin known to man. But most importantly, not knowing of the power she would soon hold in the palm of her hand, literally.

Klaus: BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP BACK THERE!!...DON'T MAKE ME TURN US AROUND!! Everyone fell silent and looked at Klaus in shock...no one has seen him like this before.

Jonah: Unfortunately no I don't...I didn't bring much. Naimah: Maybe we should find a place to stop and rest. Klaus turns around and looks at the group behind him. Klaus: Finding a hotel or place to rest sounds lovely...I hope they have something to relieve my headache. Lysander: We hope so too. Klaus turns around and keeps walking while Jonah, Naimah, and Lysander continue to talk. Levin and Zaniel on the other hand were completely silent...they didn't talk at all. Jonah: Anybody know where we can stop for the night? Naimah: I have no clue. Lysander: Hmm...did we bring a map? Everyone starts to dig through their stuff to try to find a map of some sort. There were sighs of frustration and anger as they couldn't find a map to use. Klaus: How could no one bring a map!! Jonah: Klaus calm down you're just going to make your head ache worse! Everyone starts yelling at each other as Naimah continues to look in her bag. Naimah: Will all of you shut up!! It's hard to try to find a map when everyone is shouting!!! Everyone went silent again just as they did when Klaus freaked out and now they all look as Naimah

tries to look for the map. She eventually gives up and dumps everything on to the ground and sifts through her stuff. Everyone holds their breath as she pulls out a piece of paper. Naimah: I found it!!!! Everyone cheers ans sighs a sigh of relief as she hands the map to Lysander. Lysander: Why are you handing it to me? Naimah: Because you are better with directions.

It all seems so unreal. The death of Faymes mother, the blame on Fayme, and them running away. It has almost been a month since they had barely escaped. Now settled temporarily in the city of Revant in the Western State, they both got jobs as soon as they can to replenish their cash to provide with what they need. Selling the bike was not a bad idea too. Looking at Fayme, reading at the table, Alec wondered how shes holding up, whats going on in her mind. After they had escaped, she didnt talk at all unless necessary and that worried him. Hey, Fayme? he tried hoping hell get more than the usual yes or no. She looked up with a blank look on her face and nodded to acknowledge that she heard him.

Taking the nod as a gesture of reply he continued I was wondering if youre ready to move on to the next town? We cant stay in one for too long for our safety. She closed her book and again did the same thing and nodded. Walking to her bed she took her bag out and started packing her things which was not much and consisted only of a picture of her mother, her new clothes and toiletries. Alecander did the same and soon both were ready to go. As they stepped outside, the rain has stopped and Alecander was grateful for it. Heading for the road to the next city, they walk in silence, both thinking of the day that they had escaped barely with their lives. Reply to This

Permalink Reply by LC Thomas Tristian Lagman on November 15, 2009 at 9:42am Delete Location: Northern State [Caelum Hotel] The group soon arrived at the hotel, checking into two rooms. Exhausted from traveling and the need to catch up on their sleep, the girls and the guys rode the elevator in silence, lazily dragged their bodies to their rooms, said their pleasantries and closed their respective doors. *** Lysander and Naimah said that theyll see the guys later and closed their door. After their showers, Lysander not wanting to walk another step, collapsed on the carpeted floor seeing how soft it felt to her feet. Naimah on the other hand made it to the bed but barely. Both quickly drifted off into a much needed sleep and rest. *** Seeing the girls off, Alcander and the others closed their door and prepared to go to bed. Seeing that there were only two beds, they decided on whos sharing with whom. Talking it out, Zaniel ended up with Klaus and Jonah with Alcander. After bed arrangements were done, Klaus ordered room service for him and Jonah, the other two declining. Jonah organized his bag while watching TV, Alcander took a shower, Jonah next after him, and Zaniel meditated until the others all were done with the bathroom. *** Grabbing a towel from the hotel cabinet, Zaniel walked to the bathroom. To his surprise he found Klaus walking out at the same time with nothing on but a small towel around his waist. Seeing the sight, the younger boy furiously blushed. Though recovering quickly, he tried not to stare, and to hide his blush, Zaniel excused himself hurriedly and apologized to Klaus, locking the bathroom door behind him after making sure that Klaus was finished. Shaking his head, he turned on the water and let it ran until it reached the wanted temperature. Closing off the drain, he watched the water fill the tub. As he waited, he poured the lavender bath liquid into the water and brushed his teeth. The bathtub soon

filled just as he finished brushing his teeth. He shed his clothes and stepped into the water, slowly letting the water cover his whole body while sighing the whole time. Soon he was relaxed and as he closed his eyes, he drifted into a short sleep. Awoken by a voice calling his name, Zaniel opened his eyes to see that Jonah was looking at him with a concerned look on his face. Hey he said, you shouldnt sleep when youre in the tub, you might drown ya know. Panicking that he was naked he looked at the water and was glad the water was colored by the liquid blurring visibility. Zaniel nodded and thanked him for worrying. Sure that he was alright, Jonah left him to rinse and get dressed. *** Drying his hair a second time, he walked to the bed Klaus has occupied and was amused at the sight he arrived at. He knew that Klaus was a good looking guy but he found it amusing how childlike he was at the same time. Looking at the sleeping figure, he couldnt help but stifle a giggle at how Klaus reminds him of a little boy hugging a favorite toy. But unfortunately that toy was his pillow and wanting it back if he wants some sleep, Zaniel slowly removed it and soon was able to lie down. As he was about to drift off to sleep, he felt something wrap around him. Knowing already what it was, he opened his eyes and blushed again, panicking on what he should do. It seems that Klaus has replaced the pillow with Zane. Not wanting to wake him up, Zaniel gave up and didnt try to pry him off and let Klaus arms envelop him. Then Klaus surprised him by grabbing him closer to his body. Feeling his face go red, he let his body meld with Klaus and enjoyed the warmth coming from the older boy's bare chest and body. Finally falling asleep, he knew that when they all wake up, things are going to be interesting in the morning. Reply to This

"But you know that this will be even more awkward if they wake up themselves." Alcander whispers back. All of a sudden they hear movement and see Klaus start to open his eyes. As this happens Jonah tries to still hold in laughter so he won't spoil the surprise. "What the hel!?!?!?!?" Klaus says and falls off the bed. "Huh?" Zaniel says and sits up. Jonah breaks out in laughter as he sees the reaction on Klaus's face. "That is just priceless!" Jonah says laughing. "This is not funny!!" Klaus replies.

Zaniel blushes heavily as he hears what's going on. Klaus looks at Jonah and tackles him to the floor and hits him in the arm. "Ow what the hell." "That's what you get for laughing." Klaus says as he sticks out his tongue. Shortly after he said that there was a knock at the door. Jonah goes to answer the door and see that it was Naimah. "Naimah what are you doing here?" "Well I heard yelling and I was wondering if everything was alright." "Ah..I see...yeah everything is fine...Klaus just woke up and over reacted about something." "I was not over reacting!" Klaus replies in the background. "Okay then...well if you guys are okay I'll just go back to my room then." "Naimah before you go." Jonah says grabbing her hand. "Yes?" Naimah says confused. Jonah pulls her towards him and give her a hug and then gives her a kiss. "Get a room!" Klaus says annoyed. "Klaus you are such a drama king." Alcander says as he walks to the bathroom. Jonah pulls away and Naimah in a daze walks back to her room smiling. As for the rest of the boys they decided since they couldn't go back to sleep that they would get ready. Reply to This

Heading for the road to the next city, they walk in silence, both thinking of the day that they had escaped barely with their lives ~~~ The beautiful ballet music echoed throughout the grand ball room as the dancers stepped with one another. In the front the CG of the Southern State took his place at Banquet table especially designed for him and his five wives. In the middle the children waltzed with each other and various young peoples attending the gathering. "Alec, you're so feminine in dancing." "Well, you can't get mad at me for that!" Alecander gestured toward the other single and gay gentleman at the sides. Since Alcander's presence was absent, he was Fayme's designated partner for

the night. Fayme sighed, "Of course I wouldn't get mad for something as small as that." She laughed. Alecander twirled her around like a little would her doll. In Fayme's perspective, it was quite fun. It would also be the most fun they would have in a while. "So you're really leaving in the morning?" Fayme asked solemnly as they continued to waltz. Alecander patted his little sister on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll find him; you just continue to do what you've been assigned here." He still noticed the worried look on Fayme's face. "I just feel like something dangerous will happen..." A tap on Alecander's shoulder distracted his thoughts about saying anything else. He turned around to find Mauren a little out of his usual calm and strict demeanor. "Mauren, can I help you?" Alecander asked letting go of Fayme. She curtsied to her eldest brother. He scratched the back of his neck. "Have you both seen Beatrice? Its and oddity that she's not here." Fayme and Alecander looked at each other then at Mauren, shaking their heads. It was odd for Beatrice to not be there. In fact, beside Alec, it was weird for anyone to not be there. "Oh you all worry too much!" Beatrice in her crimson dress pushed passed many dancers and wrapped her hand around her brother's arm. "Mauren, really this shindig is BIG! Who wouldn't get lost here?" She smirked at Fayme, who politely curtsied back. She unfolded her fan and continued, "You all know me for being the biggest man magnet!" She pointed at the 15 some men waving. "I've been playing hard to get with them all night! It really is hard being a beauty" she ended fanning herself. Fayme and Alecander shared the same thoughts about their sister, "She really is a narcissistic nuisance." As the early night grew into the night, Vladamir stood for the toast. He held his cup in the air along with his wives, Mauren, Beatrice, Fayme, Alecander, and the rest of their children. But rather than a toast, he brought something to the attention of the audience. "Before we begin our toast, may I ask where lady Eva is?" Alecander leaned. "Fayme?" She shook her head in response. The party began to look to their left in right for the lady, when in the silence, a deathly shrill. "SHE'S DEAD! SHE'S DEAD!!!" Fayme nearly fainted... Reply to This

Fayme slowly opened her eyes to find herself lying on the floor being cradled by her brother. She regained the color in her surrounding and the small memory that took place not to long ago began to make its way back into her mind. She jumped up in fear. "Mother, where--" She paused noticing that Alecander was not making eye contact with her. It couldn't be... She practically shoved her brother to the side and ran out of the ballroom. How much time had passed? What time is it anyway? Running to the second floor she saw the crowd of people gathering around her mother's room. The beats within her reached an all time speed. It couldn't be, it just couldn't-But it was... A body laid under a white blood stained sheet... Fayme paced herself to it, trying her best to mentally prepare herself for the trauma she would soon find herself suffering. She slowly lifted the sheet that covered the head... She felt the temperature drop. Screaming, sobbing, chanted mother like a mantra, and brushed Eva's pure white hair from her face; it was all Fayme could do... ~~~ Everyone made their way back into the grand ball room awaiting a word from the Commander General and Husband himself. Fayme sat in a chair near the door while Alecander went off for refreshments for his sister's throat was indeed dry. The attention was called as Vladamir spoke to investigators about the situation. The gentleman took his leave and Vladamir turned his attention to the guests. "We're very sorry for this. The celebration will not continue, return home safely..." He mumbled and disappeared behind the black velvet curtains. Frightened for their own safety, the guests speedily exited the premises, mumbling many 'who done its'. "Here's some water..." Alecander softly offered his sister a glass of water. Fayme hold on it was shaky and she drank with hesitation. Alecander told her he would stay with her for another day. He ushered her into her room, tucked her in, and took his rest on the couch near by.

Eva's body had been taken to the labs for forensic analysis in the very early morning and the family was receiving constant updates on the how's. Cause of death, gun shot wound to the heard. Number of bullets, five. Time of death, 6:31PM. The most important question was still yet unanswered. Who had killed her? Who wanted her dead? Why would they want her dead? These questions occupied Fayme's mind throughout the day. She would slice the person who did this to her mother. She would make them pay and they would pay with their very lives. Alecander had kept a close eye on Fayme, but continued to pack various belongings. Just then his mother bombarded, but he knew her reasons for being present. "Packed?" "Its all here." "I had all your belongings placed into the small compartment in the motorcycle. It's a wonder how they all can fit with what you carry." He chuckled at his Leanne's attempts to humor a slow moment. He knew she would be very lonely with out her best friend. --

Static on the television surprised everyone in the late afternoon. Static in this day in age was very uncommon. This also diverted Fayme's attention away from her book and onto the screen. "Perhaps someone's attempting to hack the system" she thought at first, but then a video suddenly appeared... It was her mother's room... "...Why!?" "I hate you!! Do you realize what you did ruined this family of ours?!" "It's not like that! Please you have to understand!" "The world would be better off with out you!" "WAIT!!" "SHUT UP!" a shot... she grasped her arm in pain. "I hate you, I hate you with every bone in my body... die..." another shot... she fell to her knees for the next hit her leg. "Don't do this..." "I thought I told you to die...." The next shot her her lower left stomach. The culprit mumbled something inaudible and smirked. The victim became wide eyed... "B--" The killing shot was directed to the heart. And the finishing one was directed to the head.... The screen went black. Fayme's mouth went agape... She just saw herself kill her own mother... Reply to This

Send Message Delete Dead silence... Everyone saw it.... Everyone saw the 'angel' of Illumini commit a heinous crime against blood. Fayme turned to the maids and butlers... She began to speak-"SOMEONE CALL THE AUTHORITIES!" The maids began screaming and the gents made their way to the noble girl. She jumped off the couch and ran to one of the doors out of the living room. A gent caught her wrist and she kneed him in his unmentionables. Running down the hallway she replayed the clip in her mind over and over.. She was innocent, she was innocent. More household servants ran after her as she tried to lose them and fight them off. The people she had known to help raise her from birth in this house were now after her to turn her in. She took a left down the north wing when suddenly another hand entangled her wrist and pulled her into a room. Fayme would've nearly screamed in horror, but the hand covering her mouth was that of a familiar face. She thought he had left already. "You're innocent, I know that." Alecander whispered. "Unfortunately, after that rigged up clip, no one else will think so. How gullible of people." He murmured. He lowered his hands and led Fayme past a door and a stairwell. They ran down the flight of stairs with all their speed. "Was this just added to the mansion?" Alecander responed, "No, it's been here for a while. Remember we weren't allowed in this side of the mansion." Truth, the children were adventurous, but they knew their boundaries. They reached the bottom of the stairs and Alecander opened the next door to find Leanne with a jacket, hat, and other wear. Fayme began to speak again, "Leanne, yo--" The elder hushed her, "It's a no brainer you didn't do that. Evalee raised you better and whatever anger you have in you, you wouldn't resolve with murder." She tossed an old black jacket to the accused. "Regardless," Leanne continued as Alecander grabbed to helmets. "You aren't safe here anymore, Fayme. You're going with Alecander." "And my mother's case?" Leanne smirked, "I'll be handling that." Fayme wrapped the scarf, tied her hair and followed Leanna and Alecander into what was an underground garage. A large proud smile grew on Leanne's face. "Your mom and I made this place. You kiddies had to get your adventurous side from somewhere and it's not your damn father." Around them was a long row of bikes waiting to be ridden. Alecander mounted the nearest metallic red one. Hesitantly, Fayme mounted it as well clinging on to Alecander for dear life, though they hadn't even moved yet. "I told you the directions to get out of here, didn't I Alec?" He assured her, "It's all good, mom. Its not hard to follow a tunnel." Alecander inserted the keys into

the ignition firing up the cycle's engine. Leanne placed a kiss on her son and her like daughter and bid them a farewell. Alecander pushed his legs off the concrete and Fayme clinged tighter. From the garage, came a tunnel and it was dark. Alecander turned the highlights to a bright and sped down the eerie earth covered hall. Hearing him mumbling, Fayme asked, "Did you say something?" Alecander screamed back, "I THINK I FORGOT A TURN!!" The tunnel ended soon after and and the two siblings found themselves in the middle of the city facing trouble; for a small quadrant of militia was near them. and they instantly recognized the two. Alecander curved the bike to the right and raced along the streets somehow avoiding ever vehicle and pedestrian still living. The two had already exited the city premises and militia in their high powered cars along with their powers we're not far behind. One soldier was running like it was no problem.. No, he wasn't running, he was teleporting. This gave Alecander an idea. "Control the Bike!" He screamed. Fayme became utterly confused, how could she control the bike while he was the one 'driving?' Answering her unspoken question, Alecander easily swung his leg over the bike and around again so that this time Fayme was the one in the front.She became frantic. "Are you INSANE?! I CAN'T DRIVE THIS!!" She panicked. Alecander patted her on the shoulder, "Yeah, but you learn like a geek; so if you can do that, you can drive this thing with no hands within the next 30 minutes!" He removed a glove from one of his hands. And as the teleporting soldier continued to close in on them. Alecander leaned over just at the right moment to simply touch skin with the man's cheek and he swung his legs over and kicked the man out into the dirt side of the road. Alecander locked his hands onto Fayme's shoulder and told her to hold tightly. As fast as they got into trouble, they were also fast of disappearing from of it. Another soldier found his friend lying on the ground. He punched him. "Why didn't you go after them?" The defeated responded, ".. He took my teleporation power! All of it's gone!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Location: Western State [unknown] "Cutting your hair wasn't such a bad idea." Alecander smirked.

The crisp fall air was making way for winter. Brisk was the wind and the leaves that blew into everyone's faces. They were excited, nervous, and scared. What was going to happen to them? For nearly a year, they had abandoned their position and devotion to their state. They had ran away and even fought their own men. Yeah, they were probably going to get an ear full. Beside the anxious current students, two other people had their own matters to worry about; such as the hazards to having the son of the most hated man in nearly all of the damn world in the arch enemy's camp. The only thing that wasn't exposing 'Levin's' true identity was the scarf around the lower half of his face and the white newsboy cap. Klaus cheerily drew the picture he had of Alcander from his pocket. "Your hair's grown longer, your style looks a tad bit more casual... Okay not by much, but thats because it's near winter." He whispered as they walked behind the group. Alcander glanced at the picture, then the window next to him, then at klaus. "... Are you kidding me? I look like my brother." "Well you don't look like you!" "... He's my TWIN." Klaus rolled his eyes. Alcander was not in the mood obviously. Naimah was the first to point out the two approaching Terentia. "It looks like we've been found out sooner than we thought." She murmured. Jonah, Naimah, Lysander, and Zaniel stood straight military style in front of their majors as Klaus and

Alcander attempted to shield themselves in the background. The first Terentia officer pointed at each and stated their names. "Jonah Aiden Smith, Naimah Robinson, Lysander de Maino, Zaniel Valentine Adair. Yea or Nay?" "Yea." "Yea." "Yea." "Yea." The second Terentia stated their business. "You have been summoned by the Commander General for an urgent meeting." The four formatted a line and walked behind the first Terentia Officer in the said order. The second glanced behind them noticing two people quivering near a window. "... Klaus de Maino and unnamed friend." The two mentioned shivered with intimidation as they hesitantly turned around. Klaus was the first to stand straight. "Uh... Erg... Officer Brannion." He saluted. Brannion smirked, "Nice to see you again man. The Chief wants to see you too you know." Klaus laughed nervously in response, "Oh; ha ha. I'll go see the old man!" He then slapped Alcander on the back. "And my friend will join me! He can be an asset to the N.S! Chief would love him!" Alecander cringed at his brunette friend. Brannion laughed and gestured them to walk along. Klaus leaned over and whispered, "You're LEVIN. LE-VIN. Not Alcander." "Whatever." Reply to This

Delete Anxiously the five stood outside outside of the Main office in the center of the academy. Left and right Lysander and Naimah noticed classmates of all sorts. They also noticed the much whispering. Zaniel and Alcander stood silent bluntly rejecting every girl that passed by. Klaus along with Jonah greeted all their former co-workers like a heroes who had just returned from war that greets their best friends. Finally a new Terentia Specialist walked out of the building and down the steps. "Ah, well. First off, Commander General wishes to have a word--" "OKAY NAIMAH! IT'S OUR TIME OF DEATH" Lysander practically wailed. Naimah sobbed along as they took their first steps only to be blocked by the specialist. "Actually, he wants his first words to be with your brother and his companion." the Specialist gestured at the two surprised men that had probably just then peed in their pants. Death was nearing. Klaus spoke in question, "Uhm, is there a reason why he can't see all of us together?" "That's classified to these guys until YOU tell them, Specialist." Klaus nodded at Alcander signaling him to come along and the followed the Specialist into the building. The rest simply stared.

A sudden swing of the door knocked the old man out of his seat. "Comman-- Oh, I'm sorry sir. Why are you on the floor?" The Specialist asked confused. He quickly arose to his feet. "I-- Uh.. I dropped my pencil!" Klaus intervened in the CG's excuse while coming up with the reason on his own, "Naw, Grandpa just missed me too much! His legs were too slow for him so he decided to crawl to greet me." He joked. The CG chortled and motioned the other Specialist out of his office. Alcander stood behind Klaus making it a point not to be noticed. The CG brought Klaus in to a manly embrace. "KLAUS MY BOY! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG KID!" Klaus responded into the embrace. "Sure it has ol' man! Jeffery, How've you been?!" The mention of his first name brought a frown upon the CG's face. "Jeffery? You still don't respect your elders, now do you boy?" "Never had!" Respect... Elders... Alcander smirked at a sudden reminiscing... Klaus: Didn't you ever learn to respect your elders? Alcander: Not the ones from the northern state.

"--Well you better start now boy! I'm more than twice your age and a higher rank! You refer to me and Commander General or Grandpa!" Alcander paused his current thoughts... Grandpa? "Just because you knew my parents doesn't mean you were part of the familia ol' man." "You're as stubborn as your sister." Alcander would definitely bring this conversation up later. "Come come gentleman please sit down!" CG asserted as he escorted the young men to the seats in front of his desks. "Thank you." Alcander barely mumbled. "You're still reading those decade old play boy magazines? How lame old man. Those chicks are out of style." The CG furiously blushed with embarrassment and swiped the open magazine from his desk clumsily tossing it aside. He cleared his throat and began his reasons for calling them up there. "Well as you know one of my intentions of bringing you up here was to give a personal greeting the Klaus, no?" He began. Klaus smirked at the old man. "Of course. He responded." The smile the CG wore began to change into a look of seriousness. "The other has to deal with your friend..." He pointed at the dark haired fellow... This was it... "Sir Adir, I'd like to discuss a few things concerning you..." The CG's eyes became fiery and intense... Alcander felt the lump in his throat. So much for being called Levin... Reply to This

The town was beautiful and bright, living up to its name. Just arriving, the two couldnt hold their awe of the city. The illumination, the decorations. Everybody was getting a head start for Christmas. Its beautiful Alecander said with a relaxed sigh. Yes it is Fayme agreed, smiling to her surprise. Not knowing what came over her, she smiled at her brother and looked at him, catching him off guard. Yes, Fayme? Lets check in Alec, I want to explore the city and look for jobs at the same time she said with

excitement in her voice. Taking advantage of her mood, even though tired as he is, he agreed and they checked in as fast as they could. *** Jobs were everywhere they turned. From bakeries to small boutiques and in the short time they were there, they already acquired a job each. Alecander found a job in a small clothes boutique while Fayme found a cashier opening at a bakery. This city is so fascinating and so much fun. I wish we could stay for a while. Fayme said to Alecander. Not seeing a reason why not to stay longer than the last few cities, Alecander said Why not. If you want to, we can. But what about our safety? she panicked thinking he was only doing this for her, We cant stay in one city for too long remember? Alecander just smiled at her and assured her, Fayme, the holidays are coming soon, so dont worry about it. Father will be too busy preparing a party and he wont dare rob our soldiers of their designated Christmas vacation. Well, if you say so Alec she said still unsure. No worries Rayne. Well stay here only until after chrismas. Deal? Rayne? And deal she accepted gladly. Yes Rayne, and call me Paige when were out, and Ill do the same for you. Just a precautionary he said with a smile. Okay, Paige, lets eat, Im hungry. Hotel or somewhere here? he asked, them still walking. Lets try the bakery I will work in. Kay Alecande approved. Smiling at his childlikeness, Fayme thanked him. For what? he laughed. I know. Youre welcome. And with that they entered the bakery. Reply to This

Delete Illegible markings were made on pieces of paper as silence overshadowed the room. Klaus and Alcander sat patiently hiding the anxious nerves they felt all too much. Another specialist stepped into the room only to be gestured by the CG to leave the room. A short time after, the leader of the Terentia cleared his throat and handed the files over to Al-"Welcome to the Northern State, Specialist Vittoria. With in a matter of hours you will be taken to the simulation room for immediate training along with your new friends. de Maino, you're showing him the ropes as well as training yourself too." "You can count on it, Chief." "Thank you for your help" The three stood from their seats and shook hands calmly and made their way to the door. As quickly as Alcander opened the door, quick was Klaus on the ground... along with Lysander, Naimah, and Jonah. Zaniel merely slid over them next to Al. The Commander cocked and brow. "Ugh... Hey Ol' Man..." "Hello again commander..." "Hi boss..." The noticeable smirk plastered on the CG stroke fear into the hearts of the three. They were getting an earful... ~~~ First the CG delt with Zaniel, welcoming him into the Academy and apologizing for not getting the proper training and have to meet the apprentices before the specialists. He glared at Lysander, Naimah, and Jonah. "I've no quarrels with them. They made good companions." Zaniel stated nonchalantly. Commander patted Zane on the shoulder lightly bemused by his calmness. He requested that he train along with Alcander and Klaus. ~~~ "...AND FURTHER MORE--" He continued, "WHAT YOU'VE ALL DONE WAS A PRACTICAL DISGRACE TO THIS NATION AND THIS INSTITUTE AS A WHOLE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF LAUGHING BUFFOON I HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST YEAR?!?!" Hearing the CG bellow for the for the first time in their lives wasn't a good feeling at all for the two apprentices and one specialist. Jonah was the first victim. "WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?! A SPECIALIST!! What an embarrassment it was to your ward for you to run off like that. YOU WERE M.I.A. FOR WEEK UNTIL WE FOUND OUT WHO YOU WERE WITH!!" Jonah glued his eyes to the floor and hung his head low. He knew full well he'd be also facing his comrades later.

He eyed Naimah next. "You suggested this little adventure in the first place didn't you? You had to find Jones, yes. But accompanying her on a runaway attempt? This isn't you." Naimah stuttered. "Uh-- I--" Not waiting for her to finish, he went to Lysander, "And you...." He mumbled. Lysander glared back. "What about me?" Your mouth has been getting me into some trouble you kid." Her nearly lost his cool when seeing a small smirk from Lysander who quickly recovered into a serious scowl. In the background, three other gentlemen sat with their back straight... Okay, except Klaus. Alcander was the first to whisper in, "-- What happened to that nice guy I met earlier?" Klaus chuckled and whispered back, "This is his method of hard punishment. He's not the person you don't want to make angry. But right now, he's just putting on a show." A sudden wail broke the small conversation. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN AN ACT?!" The three that were formally being scolded were now laughing at the butt of the joke. He massaged his temple in small circles relieving himself. "Well I suppose you all know your lesson. Get back to your quarters before I do something else." "Like hit us with your old playboy magazines?" "DE MAINO!" "Way to go sis!" Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Athena on December 5, 2009 at 7:18pm Send Message Delete Just so you guys know, this is set for when Jonah, Naimah, and the others finally do what the CG wanted them to do at the VERY beginning of the story. She misses the sound of rain. Sofiel sits up in bed after another useless attempt of trying to sleep. She doesn't know why, but for some reason she can only sleep during the time between the end of night and Dawn. This has never bothered her, except for the fact that she can't find anything to do with all of the excess hours in her schedule. Maybe I should take a walk. Lose myself in my surroundings, yeah, that sounds nice. She thought. Sofiel slips out of bed, puts on her mask and clothing; makes sure her hidden blade is pointed in the right direction and only straps in her Katana; and emerges out of the tent and into the moonlight. First she listens to her surroundings. A slght breeze flowing, the soft sounds of a river, and trees moving in the breeze. Sofiel's shadow follows her as she makes her way to the forest. She climbs silently into the nearest tree and, like a ghost, slowly goes from tree to tree. She alights in the tallest tree at the edge of one of the meaows. There she sits, listening and watching. Whenever she goes out at night, Sofiel always makes sure she is on alert. Maybe one day, or night, she will finally see the

people who are meant to "rescue" them from their current lifestyle. Sofiel, of course, lost most of her life to her job. The scientists were already through half of their lives when this happened. As Sofiel was thinking, she saw a distortion of shadow appear from the opposite side of the meadow. Wait, make that distortions. Leaning up slowly from her seated position, Sofiel watched and waited as the shadows made their way across the meadow. As they neared where she was, Sofiel prepared herself for the drop to come. As the shadows passed, Sofiel dropped down so quickly and silent that not one sound was made. She quickly caught up to the group of what she now saw were humans. As she neared she grabbed the closest one and brought her hidden blade against their throat. The person froze, the others turned around to face Sofiel. She held one of the boys, there were 3 others and 2 girls. "No one move or I slice his neck! Answer my questions truthfully and I won't kill him or any of you." Sofiel warned, "Who are you?" "We are here to bring you back to the Terentia," the girl closest to Sofiel explained, "My name is Naimah and I speak for all of us when I say thay we mean you no harm. Currently you are threatening our friend Zaniel though, and we don't like that." "Yea so get your freaking hands off of him before I kick your ass woman!" The other girl stated after Naimah was done. "Prove that you are who you say you are and I will. And I suggest that you not threaten me or somethin very bad will happen." Replied Sofiel with a twinkle in her eyes. Just then,a look of recognition flickered across Klaus's face, as he would later be known. "I suggest you not threaten her iether Lysander." "And why the hell not?!" "Because she is the greatest known Black Panther/Assassin known to man, and becasue she is the youngest person to have ever mastered the art of the great Rangers." Zaniel, deciding that it was time to stop wasting time brought out his credentials and put them in front of Sofiel's face before she could protest. After reading them over, Sofiel decided that they were no threat and released him. "I apologize for threatening your life Sir Zaniel, it's just that I have not seen a Terentia face for a very long time." Reply to This

(Before Sam's Post) Time: November 25th, 2029; 0800 Location: Northern State. Cerulean. Northern State Terentia Academy. Simulation Room.

Concealed into a room we're three early risers and everything they were fighting. It was a beautiful morning to train. Klaus felt the energy build up inside him as he took near real enemies down with his hand on hand combat. What else could he do? Merge? That wasn't allowed just yet. Many meters away, Zaniel focused on his meditation and defense. The less he became distracted, the more effective his shields were. Enemy holograms wouldn't and couldn't come near. In the far right, Alcander also had an easy time developing his Chi into deeper levels. Speed enhancement at the right exact points and flawless, graceful movements that gave the opposition a sharp pain... for holograms at the least. A person on the intercom alerted the brunette. "Specialist de Maino, focus is now on your specific power of Merge." Klaus cheered at the statement and screamed at the top of his lungs, "FINALLY!" His first attempt at merge was at Zaniel, who continued to focus on his defensive meditation. Klaus ran over to the shield. "Zane!!.... Zanie!!" He yelled from outside the field. Annoyed, he rapped on the field in hopes of receiving attention, but somehow ended up getting shocked. In the end Klaus merged with Alcander enhancing his power and taking out holograms by the mass. It was a beautiful training session indeed. "Gentlemen your session is over. Thank you." Echoed the screen before shutting off. The three stripped off their simulation uniforms and headed back to the dorms for a good shower and a brunch with the other friends. Reply to This

"Levin, will you come with me to the student store?" The noble turned to his friend standing outside the doorway of the room he, Zaniel, Klaus, and Jonah resided in. It had been a few days into their stay. Jonah would be moving back into the Warring Aids head quarters elsewhere in Cerulean and Klaus perhaps back to the Delta Force. He hoped that the splitting of the new friends he'd made on this journey would have to occur. He liked who he was with

and didn't want to be alone. "Surely Naimah. For what?" He asked turning back around. He arranged some more of his newly purchased clothing into dressers. "I need to buy wrapping paper." "A present?" "A present." "Special occasion?" "You forgot?" Unfazed by her question, he continued to arrange his area of the surprisingly large room. "Whatever the occasion is, I wasn't alerted of it." Naimah scoffed at his bland attitude. "That's a nice thing to say. Lysander's going to be mad at you." She smirked when his eyebrows shot up and his head quickly turned in her direction. Leaning her back into the wall, Naimah giggled. He looked so shocked. "H-- HER BIRTHDAY!?" Oooh, she even knocked him out of his 'funk'. He hurried toward her with many questions. "When's her birthday?! Is there a party!? She's expecting presents isn't she?!" She shooed him off, "Well it seems you can't help me with my wrapping issue. I'll ask Klaus! He'd love to hear about this little thing too." "You wouldn't." "No, but good luck finding that stuff out anyway, Levin!!" She laughed walking away. "... NAIMAH!!!!!" The dark haired bellowed. Well, his luck. He had no clue when Lysander's birthday was. It could be today for all he knew... How to find out without seeming like an idiot... Reply to This

South Building. Level 8. Room 1295. "... So you can obviously see my dilemma!" Alcander concluded. Zaniel stared blankly crossed legged. One of the good things about conversing with Zaniel was that he was an exceptional listener. Alcander was quite comfortable conversing with the other gentleman for the reason that had a lot in common in how they did things. "To help you out," Zaniel began, "Her birthday is tomorrow." Alcander grumbled. Even though her birthday wasn't today, tomorrow didn't give him much help. Zaniel continued, "-- And her party is tonight." He drew out his holographic organizer and presented the calendar. Sure enough. November 28th.

"Why is her birthday tonight?" "That decisions was of her brother's." Alcander noticed the younger man's cheeks flush a light shade of red. "Speaking of which..." Zaniel continued, "It seems all of us are participating in a wager on presents." He the presented OFFICIAL documents signed with different fingerprints. Alcander read the document allowed... best surprising present... birthday.... Lysander.... wager of... "100 CASH!?!?!" He felt like he was going to hyperventilate. Earning money was hard enough. He looked up at the snow locked boy, slightly skeptically. "I do not take offense on you, Zane; but why are you telling me this if this is a competition?" Zaniel chuckled in response. "I'm more of the mere 'referee' if you would. I'm only keeping the rules in tacked. My questions is, how did you not know when your print is in fine here?" He pointed at a red blot on a page... "... HOW IN THE WO-- KLAUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He damned his 'friend' for getting him into this. It must've been while he was asleep or something. He took his stand from the bed. "Well it cannot be helped. Thank you for alerting me Zaniel. I'll have to find something soon." "Before you get yourself into a desperate situation of looking for any present, I'll have you know; observation is the best key." "Are you suggesting that I stalk her?" Zaniel smirked, "Yes. That is my suggestion. I find it to be less of a hassle than investigating her files in the Academy's archives. " "How would you know that?" "Jonah tried that." After sharing a few laughs, Alcander went on his investigation and Zaniel began his reading.

Time: 1340 Finding the blue shaded head wasn't hard. It turned out that she was accompanying Naimah in a shopping spree in the outer mall outside the Academy in the mid city. Dressed in the most casual hoodie, jeans, and fall wear, Alcander skulked around following Lysander in her daily routines. It was a tiresome act, but he decided to focus the experience as practice. Using his powers he increased his senses in hearing and followed Lysander at the best distance he could. He saw the girls try on different clothing, grab a bit to eat, play a few games in the arcade, and buy more things. He couldn't get her the best gift if she already had it. Many hours had passed and finally Naimah had said her good byes for she had requests from specialist that needed to be attended to. Alcander continued to walk behind Lysander in the crisp late afternoon air. She looked behind her a few times thinking someone had followed her, but somehow Alcander always managed to hide behind something or someone, how long could he keep this up? "Why are you following me?" ... Not very long. Reply to This

Lysander glared at him implying he was stating something sexist, but shoved it off her shoulders. "This is my home turf. You'd think I'd know this, you foreigner." She joked. "I just like to take walks. Do you wanna come with or are you tired of walking so soon?" Obviously, the reply was that of yes. The two walked along the parks and streets small talking about various topics. Friends, the life in Cerulean, etc. Alcander noticed something about Lysander. She seemed, deep, and unfocused. Crossing into another street, the two passed by a store. Lysander faced the window and smiled. "Ah, its almost 6:30. I'm going to head off to do my requests from the specialists." The two waved their goodbyes and she headed back to the Academy. Alcander, rather than continuing his investigation, went back to a certain part in the city. He looked through the window at the display items. What had actually caught her eye? Automatically, Alcander assumed it was the light mocha colored Pomeranian in a basket. He grinned at the adorable fur ball and purchased it. Hopefuly. Hopefully it was what she really wanted. Time: 1950 "Okay buddy, all we got to do is get you a cute red bow and you're good to go." He trotted down the streets with the puppy in his hand. Little did he know, how slippery the streets really were as the day became night. He began to slide along the iced road. Alcander cursed at himself, holding on to the pup with one arm and trying to regain balance with another. To no avail he landed on his back and the pup flew out of his hands. Regaining footing, he cursed again and charged after the scurrying fluff. That fluff happened to be worth 500 cash; which is cheap for a pedigree, but it was a pedigree nonetheless. Up and down the streets people stared at the speeding man chase after something so small. Eventually they were found in the park where Alcander had ran into many branches, dirt, and devious little children. It was 8 o'clock. and Zaniel had alerted him that the party was in an hour. Time was running thing and he needed that dog one way or another. Sure, he could use his omnipresence to appear before the rascal, but that wouldn't work unless he knew where that rascal would run to. At one point, the pup was no where in site and Alcander began to tense up. Miraculously, though; the pup was near a stream by the park. He had managed to retrieve the pup just in time before it fell into its doom. He sighed in relief and walked back to the city. No time to do anything now. Not even shower... But somehow that fur ball managed to stay clean.

Time: 2124

"Never in all my years, would I have suspected Levin to be late for ANYTHING!" Jonah joked in surprise. The others agreed. Lysander rolled her eyes at her friends' humor and glanced out the window. Naimah tapped her on the shoulders and gave a genuine smile. "Hey, you should open your presents now! We'll have some cake later." Lysander laughed and walked to the various wrapped gifts from many friends. A rattle of the door recieved everyone's attention. Or rather, the filthy man who walked through. Lysander smirked at this sight. "What happened to you?" Alcander rolled his eyes. "This little rascal decided to give me the work out of my life." He said as he outstretched his arm with the perfectly cleaned Pomeranian Pup dressed with a bow. Naimah squealed at the cuteness that it was as did Lysander. "How'd you know she would ask for that, Levin?!" Klaus asked slapping Al in the back. As a response, Al simply scratched the back of his head. "Ah, a wild guess." Seeing her eyes glisten at the pup gave the SS raised boy a sense of victory and happiness. But it turned out that he didn't win the wager anyway. At last minute, Zaniel decided to join and gave Lysander the better present... Pictures of Alcander's day. Which instantly trampled over Alcander's puppy plan, Naimah's wardrobe offerings, Jonah's weapon collections, and Klaus' fireworks display for lack of a better word. Alcander sneered and cursed at the snow haired boy. "Happy birthday Lysander! what are you going to name the Pup?" She only smiled Reply to This

The constant chatter of apprentices in the mess hall made gave Naimah and Lysander a uneasy feeling. The home they were accustomed to long ago was like a memory reliving itself. Not good, not bad. It was just something to get used to again. Lysander dressed her salad with ranch and joined the group in the same corner table she, Naimah, and Dahlia ate every day during that time. For once, she missed her fiery haired friend. Bored, she took notice on various irrelevant things that she had known about before, but never thought to analyze. For starters, Jonah wasn't joining them for lunch ... again. No doubt, ever since returning to the Northern State, his medic duties had come back to haunt him. And he was already being chastised by every single one of his fellow comrades within his unit for abandoning them in the middle of a mission. Lysander glanced over at Naimah who was slowly twirling her spaghetti while starring out the window. No doubt, she missed her love even though they were within the same area and she had the ability to teleport to him whenever she pleased. Shifting her attention elsewhere, Lysander remembered and noted the two other gentlemen eating lunch with them. Alcander and Zaniel feasted on the poorly prepared lunch with formality and nothing less. This confused Lysander in many ways. Where did they get such manners in the first place? And why would they eat like that in a casual environment? They weren't at a party and they needed to lay back a bit. Then again, they needed a lesson on laying back every moment of their lives. They needed a lesson from the man of laid back himself... Speaking of which, where was he? A uniformed figure passed through the door of the mess hall and nearly skipped over to the corner table. He tousled Lysander's hair and stood in a dignified manner. "Klaus, why are you dressed like that?" Lysander questioned as she fixed her messy hair. The brunette shrugged his shoulder. "Well I am technically a specialist; so they gave me my uniform back! I missed wearing my true colors of white and gold!" He practically hugged himself. "I've waited all week for this baby back!" From his ditsy like persona, Klaus' older brother like personality emerged as he noticed Naimah looking oddly saddened. "Lover boy still not showing up lately?" He received an elbow from Lysander as an answer. Naimah remained in a constant blank... Reply to This

Send Message Delete "Ouch what the hell was that about?" Klaus said rubbing his side. "Don't mention Jonah in front of her...she's depressed enough as it is." Whispers Lysander. "You know I can hear you right?" Naimah replies. They look at her as she continues twirling her fork in her spaghetti she does not even bother to look up. Finally after everyone starts talking again she gets up and walks away. "I hope she's going to be alright." Lysander says looking at Naimah. "Here let me talk to her." Klaus replies. Naimah walks outside only to realize that it was raining. Finally she just stops walking and sits down on a bench nearby. "Naimah!" "Huh?" Naimah says confused. "I was wondering if maybe you wanted to talk or something." Klaus says worried. "There's nothing to talk about." Naimah says. "It doesn't look like it to me." Klaus looks at her and then sits down on the bench. "Naimah you're getting soaked." "And your point is?" "Naimah come on you can't let things like this get you down." Klaus says encouragingly. "But I can't help it." "Yes you can." "I wish I could...I mean we see each other everyday....but...it seems like the time we used to have to ourselves is becoming less and less and I feel like eventually we are just going to stop seeing each other all together." "But at least it's better than never seeing him." "I guess...but why is it so hard." She replies. "Because he is the first...that's why."

Something in Naimah finally cracks and she breaks down sobbing. Klaus puts a hand on her shoulder and she leans into his chest crying. "It's okay." Klaus says rubbing her back. "We might want to get out of this rain before you get sick though." Naimah nods in agreement and Klaus helps her up and they go back to the building to dry off and warm up. Reply to This

Walking down the path of the graveyard, nostalgia kicked in. Soon he arrived at the two white marble tombstones and sat on the well-cared grass. Saying a word in whisper, orchids grew directly from the ground on both sides of each

stone. I know they are your favorite, mother. It has been a long time indeed he said to no one in particular but the wind. Years has passed since he has last visited his parents graves. Every time that he did, he couldnt but help remember the incident that caused his parents death. And as always he told his parents what he has been doing and the people he has met and experiences he has encountered. Time flew as he told his mother about his new friends and the trouble they have all been in and of course the good times that came with it. Zaniel talked about the book and the crystal and asked them why it seems familiar and his progress in his abilities. He just chatted away, something that he only does when he visits their graves. Hours passed and soon the sun was above him. Seeing that noon has arrived, he said his goodbyes to his parents and asked for their blessing and guidance. Walking back to the academy, Zaniel looked at the sky and smiled at the serenity of it, thinking that good things are coming their way. Reply to This

"Are you sure you're okay?" She tensed and hesitated with her answer. "I'm okay." Being no fool Lysander continued to ask questions as she spring herself up and down. "Liar."

We don't have that many plans other than a dinner... Considering we don't get to spend that much time, I wish I would've set up something-bigger. I know I should treasure the moment, and that's the reason why I want to do more." Her friend frowned and leaped off the bed. "You've got an idea?" Confused, Naimah just shrugged her shoulders.

Time: 1545 Location: Northern State. Cerulean. 43rd Blvd. "Love, what made you decide to move our date to an earlier time?" Naimah rubbed the back of her neck as if she were sore. "Uhm, well... I was thinking we deserved some more quality time together... I mean you weren't doing anything important were you?" She asked innocently. Jonah shook his head and chuckled. "No, not really."

Away from the couple, a group of good intentioned cohorts spied from a distance. I would whisper tactfully their plans for the item. "Okay, so are we clear on who performs which role and where we meet?" The others nodded and split ways. ~~~

Destination One: Theme Park "Targets are spotted at 0900." "Lysander, it's four o' clock." "... Never mind. They're coming your way, brother." "Roger that." Klaus concluded, pressing a button on his headset. I knew this would come in handy at one point or another. He thought to himself digging out a unknown something from his pockets. "I'm in the mood for a thrill. How about you?" Asked Jonah with his arms around Naimah's shoulder. She blushed a light pink. "Sounds fun." She looked up at the profoundly bulky ride that was a roller coaster. She grabbed Jonah's hand and the both ran to the line of people. As they arrived to the front of the line, they were greeted by a man dressed in a red shirt tucked in black Jeans. A Red cap, and an oddly unsettled midnight black mustache. He smiled fully at the couple. "Oh what an adorable couple we have here!" He cooed. "Right this way please, please!" motioning them to the back of the car. He received an instant glare from the red head. "Well everyone! Enjoy the ride!" He sighed and pulled a lever launching the car into its oblivion. The uniformed man just then received a call from his microphone. "Hello?" "Klaus; just wondering something." "What is it, Lysander?" "... Did they teach you the works of the ride before you went off and raided it?" The man stood dumbfounded. He chucked nervously, "Uh.. they did teach me ta thing or two about it... Starting it, stopping it... yeah..." "THAT DOESN'T SOUND ASSURING!!!!!" As the ride came in for its second round, Klaus pulled on another lever to cease the ride. Unfortunately, he had pulled the wrong lever increasing the speed. Screams of help from the citizens on the ride were heard. Klaus cursed to himself. And he did so again when he saw a certain sister of his running in his direction in a tourists' wardrobe. "What happened?" "I forgot whether it was a button or a lever that was used to stop the ride." He laughed. "You're getting fired instantly. "Lysander sighed trying push buttons herself. To no avail, the ride continued to fly out of control. "You're fired too I guess." "I don't have a doubt Naimah and Jonah have things covered up there." On the ride itself, Naimah and Jonah began to take charge on the ride themselves... after screaming for their dear lives. They pushed their seat belts off and Naimah began to climb on the other cars teleporting people off the ride. While on the ground she ran to Lysander. Frantic, she asked, "What happened?!" "Somehow the ride went out of control." replied Lysander. "Jonah won't be able to see me or Klaus still, but we'll help find a way to get this straightened out." Naimah nodded the looked back at the ride. She calculated the velocity of the speeding car and teleported at the right point. She took more riders and teleported them to the ground. She repeated

this process until all the people were off. Lysander from under the ride searched for a hole or something on car. She generated an arrow with a rope tied to end of it and shot it at the ride. The energy generated arrow vanished as it hit the roller coaster, but the rope somehow landing in the back of the car. Jonah in the front began climbing to the back. He knew he could stop the ride with his strength, but he had to find the easiest and safest way to do so. He reached the back of the car and noticed the rope on the floor. Instantly he devised a plan and tied the rope to the spoiler. He jumped of the car onto the rail and quickly knotted the rope on the platform and pulled, stopping the ride in its tracks. The gathered crowd of people cheered and applauded at Naimah and Jonah for their save.

Klaus and Lysander ran out of the theme park like mad men. "Well that didn't turn out so bad now did it?" "Should I trust you with Machinery at all anymore?" "Don't talk to me with that tone, young lady. I'm your older brother." "Let's just go." Reply to This

Jonah joked nervously, "If I had known you reserved a five star restaurant, I would've showered or something." Destination Two: Five Star Dinner "Oh don't be like that." Naimah replied. "We didn't know we had to rescue people today. Sure we stink, but food is food." Jonah smiled genuinely at his love and opened the door for her into the Restaurant. This time they were welcomed by a young man with medium long length dark hair, tied, and properly dressed in black waiter's attire. His eyes were of a noticeable bright green. Naimah rolled her eyes. The gentleman bowed and shook hands with the duo. "Ah, Miss Robinson.... Birthday Boy?" Jonah became confused. "How did yo--" The man quickly recovered, "Ah, it says so on your reservations." He gestured the couple to a secluded table in the back corner near a window and a scenery painting. "Please, this way." The two were seated and offered a glass of water, bread sticks, a small bowl of soup, candle lights, and violinist, and more bread sticks. "Don't worry" assured the waiter. "These are all on the house. I'll be back soon with your dishes."

Within the mind of the waiter a small confrontation erupted. "You're horrible at being proper." Shot Alcander "I am not! All I'm doing is acting like you!" Klaus shot back. "No you weren't!" "You're right! I'm much nicer!" "That's it. Get out of my body." "People don't wanna see that!" "Ugh..." The argument among the men continued as the waiter served dishes to the customers. Many of which seemed to be attracted to his elegant gracefulness mixed with debonair. They were so attracted they began to climb on him. The waiter began to back away from the awkwardness calmly rejecting the fanned customers. "Ladies, please. This is a restaurant. I have people to serve." The over loving customers did not listen and began to pursue the waiter. Klaus and Alcander at the same time screamed from within, "What is the matter with this place!?" And ran past tables. It had already been 10 to 15 minutes and the couples food was not with them. This was poor service he thought. The waiter would smoothly slip through people passing to use the restroom. "Maybe do have control of this." Alcander thought with pride. But alas, the gracefulness lost its name after slipping on a banana peel. Miraculously, the dishes happened to land on the right table including Naimah and Jonah's. Jonah rubbed his tummy in hunger. "About time! Thanks man. This looks worth the wait!" The waiter rubbed the back of his head where he felt the bump. "No problem." He responded and walked off. He collected the money and an ice pack and left to meet the rest of his friends.

Jonah browsed through the list. "Well, this is a date... Maybe a romance... Then again, we both like action...." The two glanced at each other, then at the movie list. ".... Horror." They concluded. "Two tickets to the movie Smile, please." Jonah looked at Naimah, "I'll pay for this one. Birthday Boy's treat." Destination Three: Movie Madness. Jonah handed the tickets over to one of the uniformed men who pointed them to theater 30. The movie was a horror titled Smile titled to a ghost's sadistic smile when they killed their victim. This movie in particular was in extreme 3D. There had seemed to be a large gathering of people and the only available seats were in the front.

Remember, this is the year 2029. "Thank you all for coming to the showing of Smile." Announced an all too familiar voice. Jonah began, "Doesn't that sound like--" "No way." said Naimah. The voice continued, "Now to view the 3D showing, place the helmets on. Two to a seat please." From the ceiling, Virtual Reality like helmets smoothly made their way down to the audience. The helmets circled around their eyes of course as well as headphones for their ears. The helmets would show the audience in the movie as if they were really there, but not the entire audience. Just whomever was watching and whomever was accompanying them. In Naimah and Jonah's case. They are a showing for two. Therefore, the helmets they had on only had them and their partner. "Thank you all, please enjoy the showing of Smile." concluded the voice and the movie instantly began.

Lysander looked down at the audience from the window in the back where the films in the past would usually roll. She smirked. "This seems like a fun job, guys. The next job we get on our mission should be at a movie theater! .... Guys?" Hearing no reply, Lysander turned around to see that she had been talking to air. She turned back to the audience below and searched. Sure enough, certain someones were cocky enough to sneak in and watch themselves. "Klaus, is this really paid for?" asked Alcander apprehensively. The brunette scoffed, "Hey we're working here. Its not like its a big issue." Suddenly a hand pulled at his headphones. "Big issue my ass." snapping the headphones back into his ears Alcander took off his helmet immediately, hearing the snap. "Uh, it doesn't look like what is it." "You seem like a good Liar, Levin, but that's for when someone cheats on you. Now unless you're really gay and you're dating my brother, let's go before we get caught or something." The two stared at the man in between them apparently still drawn into the movie. "This is so intense! Dude, you're missing out! Seriously!" He said as he scarfed down some popcorn. Lysander rolled her eyes and began to remove the helmet herself. "Klaus, why is your head so big?" She was quickly hushed by an audience member behind her. "Sorry." She grumbled. "Well sorry my head's so big." Klaus said in return trying to remove the helmet himself. Alcander joined in and the three began to struggle to remove the helmet from Klaus' head. Which worked perfectly until it slipped from their hands and crashed into another person's helmet; and that person to another person's; and a domino effect. People began to remove their helmets and asked the person next to them what their problem was. As they went down the line of blames, it all ended with the right culprits. "You've got some nerve trying to piss everyone off when their watching a good movie." said a bulky man giving Klaus a slight push on the shoulders. Instinctively, Klaus pushed the man back and soon enough, the entire room was in a brawl. More and more people began to take of their helmets out of hearing the commotion and joined in on the fight.

Way in the front completely oblivious to the mini war behind them was the birthday boy and his dear girlfriend enjoying the fright the movie brought them. The snuggled closer together for the sake of being close. Each time Naimah jumped Jonah would bring her closer to him. It was this way till the end of the movie. When they lifted their helmets they had noticed an empty room. It had turned out that the authorities came in to break up the fight and everyone got kicked out. ....Not that our couple knew that.

Naimah took in deeply the scent of night at the park. "Its refreshing." Jonah nodded in agreement. Destination Four: Finale at the park "Levin, you're a wuss for not fighting too." Alcander shook his head in dismay. "No" He chuckled. "I was just smart enough to not get into a fight in the first place." He poked at Klaus' wrapped wrist making the older man cringe. In front of them Lysander continued to spy on main pair. As soon as they took their seats on the grass near an oak tree, Alcander cued Zaniel. ~~~ "You look a little cold." Jonah stripped off his jacket and wrapped it around Naimah then wrapped his arms around her as if it were an extra layer. Naimah flushed a shade of red again for the countless time that day. Suddenly all the lights in the park shut off. Naimah looked around in curiosity and slight annoyance. What were they planning this time? But as the two looked up into the sky, she knew what the grand finale was. ~~~ "I will have to admit Zaniel. The fireworks was a good addition to star gazing." congratulated Alcander. The snow locked gentleman smiled at his work. "Hmm. Why thank you. One of the spells I know by heart makes an excellent light show for festivals." ~~~~ "This really was the best present Namiah." Jonah began as the fireworks continued their roar. "You and I did get to talk a bit through out this. We helped a lot of people... and We were able to spend time

together..." This made Naimah blush deeper than the red in her hair and Jonah lessening the space between them didn't make it any easier. "Just you... and me....." ... closer... "AND THE IDIOTS THAT MADE MY DAY." He laughed turning around to the lurkers hiding in the bushes. "NAIMAH TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR PLAN GUYS. I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE THIS WILD THOUGH, THANKS!" He waved. The lurkers in turn stood in embarrassment. He knew this entire time... Regardless, the waved back. "NOW CAN YOU ALL LEAVE SO WE CAN HAVE GOOD ALONE TIME?" The four didn't even bother to respond as they just walked off. "Well guys," Lysander opened the conversation. "We didn't do such a bad job after all." "I can't say the same about my wrist." ~~ "-- And thank you for the time." Whispered Jonah. "You already thanked me a bunch of times." Naimah whispered back. "I know" He concluded with a small kiss. Naimah smiled. Even though it was only one day, It was better than not seeing each other at all. She wouldn't have it any other way. Reply to This

"I'm here they place were father told me to come." Standing up the looked at the ground "Ha ha but were do i go now?!?!?!" After a moment of deciding were to head he decided to head for the nearest market place, if he had learned anything back home its that a marketplace always had fresh information at the market place. As he was walking around trying to find his bearings on the strange city he discovered he was in the western state in a place called levis city. He was walking and all of a sudden smelt a delightful arouma of breads and remembered he hadnt eaten in days because of no money and travel his stomack growled loudly. He opened the door and looked at a unfamiliar face at the register who he would later discover to be one called Fayme. "Ummm Sorry to bother you but im new to town i've just traveled for some days to this city and well i havent got a dime on me....its it possible to maybe have some day old bread or work for some food?" He positioned himself by the door incase the Worker reacted badly. Again his stomack growled loudly and he frowned, he hated showing any weakness like this but he could do nothing about it.

But without a second thought she did what she had to.... Feed the guy. "Now that wouldn't be hospitable of me!" She smiled cheerfully and went around the cash register sitting the man at a table. "I'll see what we have in the back, sir." The young man sat patiently as the silver haired woman made her way to the back of the bakery. Truth, it was easy for Fayme to make new friends considering her somewhat sunny disposition. She was in an awfully cheery mood today. A little convincing and it would be good to go. Her first stop, Jaque'. "Hello, Jack!" "Jaque'." She nodded her head with the face of embarrassment. "Right right of course." Though it was easy for her to make acquaintances and easy for her to remember things, that didn't mean she was learning the proper things. She pulled slightly at her turtleneck trying to revive her positive sweetness. "Jaque'?" "Hnnn."

Fayme began to rub her stomach in 'pain', "I didn't have breakfast today... You know how traffic is in the beautiful city this is. With the time I had left, I wasn't able to eat on time... Finding a place to live last night was a hassle too." She did her best to put on a hurt face. As if he had already declined her request. The baker eyes turned toward the young lady. He sighed and walked over to the pantry dropping the dough. "Here," He said taking out one full loaf. Indeed, a loaf. He walked over to the fridge and handed her a small package as well. "Butter, cheese" He pointed the two out. Fayme bowed in courtesy and thanked the man for his generosity. Soon after she had returned with bread, spread, and a drink.

As he got control he looked back over as he beggan to spread the butter on the bread and cut the cheese but something didnt seem right. "I dont mean to question your motive...but why would you help a complete stanger like me, for all you know after i eat i could kill you or burn this bakery down." Sven stood up quickly and unzipped his hoodie revealing a purple tank top and a gray scarf his arms were well toned and his muscular frame filled the tank top easily. He looked at her and said "i've trained my body for years to be as lethal as a weapon....what makes you so sure i wont just turn around and kill you and the baker in back?" As he said this he flexed his muscles tearing the tanktop across the chest and abs showing off a rock solid 8 pack and pecks with a strange faint red line across his chest. Then out of nowhere Sven sat back down only to start eating again as if nothing had happened not even taking a glance at the women who had helped him out so much. Reply to This

'So... a man had thanked me for free bread... questioned why I gave him bread... pseudo threatened me... then stripped?' ... What madness was this world coming to? ... Maybe it was just something about Levis City she didn't know about... "Do not trouble yourself over such matters." She concluded plastering her cheery persona. "But-- ah-you .. might want to put your hoodie back on our something..." She tried to request without giving in to bashing a shade of red. Sven nodded and zipped his hoddie back into place and Fayme made it just in time for another customer to show up-- customer... rather... another cheery person but this time a man with dark hair, sapphire like eyes, much like the Faymes. "Fayme!!!!!!!!!" "Alecander, shouldn't you be at work?" Reply to This

Send Message Delete After putting on such a show he felt ashamed of himself but with the emergence of this new person he didnt dare speak but simply watch and hope he could learn something useful. As he sat their he staired at the pair as he finished the food he had been given. They had been conversing for a few minutes and suddenly noticed Sven stand but only to be shocked when he dissappeared into thin air.

Sven suddenly landed in front of a goodwill and entered looking for a new shirt, after he found a red tank top that fit him much like his purple one. "Ahh this will do just fine......" suddenly he appeared back in the bakery in the same spot he had disappeared from and walked over to the two who had gone back to conversing and looked at fayme "Umm im sorry for my outburst, it wasnt right i was rised better than that......What can i do to repay you for your kindness miss.....?" he starred at her for a second looking into her eyes only faintly aware of the man gazing at him intently.

Send Message Delete Fayme unaware of the intense stare off going on before responded to the man's question waving her hands as if they were nodding. "Oh, don't worry about it. I think commoners would call it... on the house!" The man raised a brow at her phrase... Commoner? Did she say co-A conclusion to the thought was not reached properly as the man that was staring at him intently decided to insert himself into the conversation by shaking hands like a jolly soul. "Well hi there!" He smiled with a femininity in his voice, "I see you've gotten acquainted with my darling sister, Fayme." ... This is her--- older brother... He mentally cursed at himself. Men knew men's thoughts. No doubt about that. "So," He began patting the young sibling on the head. "What charity have you brought upon the world this time dear sister?"

"I gave him bread." Alecander stood silently staring blankly at his sister then at Sven.. "... That's all?" "Uhm... I think it was for free..." Oh, how the brother looked like he wanted to mentally face palm himself. In relief he sighed. "Well I'm off my shift, and you're almost off yours in about 6 minutes. We should do something!" He recommended. Reply to This

Send Message Delete Unphased by the answer that he and readily expected Sven shook his head "i cant do that where i come from its a thing of honor and pride to repay kind deeds no matter what the task maybe." Taking a look at alecander Sven did not know wheather he liked the guy or just simply wanted to crush him but there were more pressing issues. he looked bewteen the pair of them woundering what kind of thoughts must be pouring through their heads about him, if any at all that was. "Oh and one more thing after i repay you, is it possbile you point me to a home-less shelter, i kinda have nowhere to live so it would be apprciated......." He relaxed his body for a second knowing that his posture may give the brother and sister more reason to trust because of the more natural feel Reply to This

Send Message Delete This time, Alecander's brows shot up in shock... Not because this man was homeless, but because of who he was telling this bit of information to... He glanced that lady with the softest heart in the world. Fayme unaware, yet again, of the situation eyed the man again. She pressed her pointer to her chin as if giving it an intellectual thought. "Uhm.... I'm not sure of any homeless shelter... But its not human to make you live out in the street!" She said with the power of justice in her voice. Alecander merely chuckled at Fayme's innocence. As kind as this man did seem, Alecander knew better than to trust simply anyone. Besides, it was their mission to find Alcander soon, no lallygagging. After a minute of pondering, the formal noble daughter surrendered to a decision... "How about..." He's not staying with us... "We....." Sister, he won't stay with us... "Just...." Fayme be wise, you know better than to take strangers in, they're not puppies... "How about you come with us for the day and we'll help you look for a shelter at the least!?" The relieved Adir child fell over in satisfaction. "I mean, our apartment is small. It wouldn't be good for you to stay there. But it would become a last resort." Why must you be so kind?

"haha oh no oh no i will not take you up on that offer but i am extremly glad that you would be so kind as to offer a complete stranger that." He took a piece of paper and wrote down his contact information and handed it to fayme "since your brother here has so throughly insisted on not trusting me i hope that maybe if you think of any place you will give me a call, and remember this your not gonna just be so generourous and recive nothing in return." Flash that the man vanished into thin air again. the brother and sister looked at each other and fayme said "that is one strange guy brother." and Alecander said "It wont be the last you see of him, be cauitious of him." As sven walked down the street he reflected, how could anyone person be sooo kind yet want nothing in return and not only that but to be so pretty she was a rare gem in this world that would one day make some man very happy. Pushing the thoughts out of his head Sven ran into an old friend from his training on the island kyosuke who had a place here in levis and offered to let sven crash their as loong as he need.

"Ol' man; a mission this early? CG, we haven't had all the proper training yet." Klaus questioned with a facial expression that was uninterpretable. "Of course! I think you can handle it! Can't you, boy?" Klaus received a slap on the back that made him lose this balance for a split 4 seconds. After regaining it, he examined the seal file. He sighed in weary. It should be this hard... They should take it easily. --The younger de Maino groaned at the thought of having to leave yet again with out much of reason. She really disliked being woken up from a decent nap. "So he really thinks he can trust us, huh?" She mumbled learning into the deepest point of the single couch. Klaus tossed her another pair of clothing to shove into her bag. "Yeah, I guess he does." He glanced at the the portfolio for a second time that day. The other members of the group had been alerted of the said mission and made their ways to their rooms to pack. All were doubtful on the new decision, but nonetheless, it was no option. ---

Currently... So this is where the group ended up... The group boarded the train to their destination making themselves comfortable in the seats. Naimah and Jonah headed over to the barista for just in time for lunch hour. Zaniel and Lysander decided to take themselves sight seeing through the windows of the train, while Klaus and Alcander remained at their seats. Alcander was the first to break the silence. "You're quiet. I could've thought you would at least go with Lysander and Zaniel." Within his mental theater, the natural dark locked man pictured his over eccentric friend taking pictures high and low along with his sister where as Zaniel would've been the one to linger behind. Bringing his attention back to reality, he noticed for the 2nd time that Klaus was more or less focused on the portfolio. He saw the man smirk a little. "Something in our mission you like?" The auburn closed the folder, "Not really. I find it interesting he would put us on this mission." Come to think of it, Alcander didn't know much about their mission anyway... "... And..." Klaus rested his arms behind his head. "Eh, its seems like an important mission. Retrieving the scientists and what not. Even though it's only transportation back here, I don't understand why they couldn't send the properly trained Delta Force Specialists for it." "... Aren't you a part of the Delta Force?" "..."

Sven undressed quickly after shutting the door and stepped into the hot water and let it pour over him. As he stood under the water and let the beads of water roll down his muscular frame he looked at his scar "damn this scar 10 years and it still hasnt gone away."

dance out in front of the bakery and for every customer they brought in they would recieve 20% of all profits. Kyo had declined this offer and told the baker to give it to Fayme. This was how Sven would repay Fayme for her kindness, at least for the time being Reply to This

It was needless to say very silent within the shop. A sweep hear and there, brushing of various materials being put away... Honestly, as bright as the store looked, it felt kind of creepy and deep down Fayme had a gut feeling that something wasn't necessarily right. Just then she heard a shuffle from the back of the store. Cautiously she took one of the knives from the table and entered the back looking around. She no doubt, hated that she had no power like Alcander and Alecader except her brain. She only used dimensional transportation if she really needed it. This wasn't one of those times... She turned from corner to corner expecting for some sadistic freak show to jump at her and attempt to hurt her in anyway. She wouldn't be fooled. She heard the sound again and nearly ran towards it. Quickly she jumped in front of whatever was moving -".. A cat?" The little kitten meowed with all its undying cuteness. Really Fayme sighed in relieve as well as annoyance. How could she get so worked up about something like that? She put her knife down and picked up the auburn shaded fluff. "Well aren't you adorable?" She cooed at the kitten who just stared at her with its bright green eyes. She chuckled as she made her way to the front of the store...

... Only to be greeted by intruders... "We're closed." She stated sternly. The two men chuckled as the took out some rope and a bag. It was a robbery... ~~~ Back at the store, Alecander felt something churn within his stomach and turning his attention to the sudden jab of pain broke one of the glasses figurines he was stalking up. Something wasn't right... Reply to This

In a moment of desperation she screamed and thrashed about trying to escape with everything inside of her churning the feeling was sickening what would the do with her. Pushing the thoughts out of her head no she couldnt think about that escape was the only solution and worry she must have. "Get off m *uffufuf*" they had gagged her it was over they were easily over-powering her at this point she was losing hope. At that exact moment Across town Sven was laying in his bed thinking about the day him and Kyo had brought in lots of coustomers for fayme and the bakery. "I think im falling for that women yet i know nothing about her, maybe i should suprise her and walk her home she should be of by now." Sitting up and quickly putting his shoes back on and grabbing his jacket off his night stand and putting it back on himself. Appearing in front of the bakery he sinced something was wrong. "whats going on here the doors are locked but i hear voices inside." flash he appeared in the back of the store seeing fayme struggling to get free from the ropes with no luck. he took a step forward and they made eye contact but Faymes eyes lit upp with fear. *THUMP* One of the men smashed Sven in the head with a rolling pin and sent him crashing to the floor laying almost liflessly on the floor not even breathing. "Dump his body after this" the one in charge said as he advanced toward Fayme "your next sweetie" *SNAP* the loud noise filled the air and he leader looked back only to see Sven standing on his feet and his partners neck turned 180 degrees as he feel to the ground "its one thing to attempt to kill me from behind like a coward but to touch an innocent helpless woman, unforgivable......." without another word Sven advanced forward with the darkest most evil look anyone had ever seen, the man with no hope of escape grabbed a knife off one of the counters and stabbed at Sven. In a flash it was over as blood splashed onto the ground he was dead, Sven had sidestepped the knife and palm struck the robber forcing the nose bone into the brain, an instand kill. "May you rot in hell you scum." he untied and ungagged Fayme and smiled at her "you ok? i think i should probley walk you home now." Reply to This

Fayme in the Western State is referred to as 'Rayne' and Alecander is 'Paige' and no one except those two know what they're real names are. Sorry about the confusion everyone. But since its a little late for editing just pretend that we typed Paige and Rayne instead of Alec and Fayme for

the dialogue. Haha Fayme attempted to defeat her speechlessness. "I... Uhm..." She shouldn't be surprised, after all the young noble lived extremity of her days within a household full of military brats. She, herself was one really. She had managed to get a thank you out and a few nods here and there. After reporting the incident to the authorities, the local police as well as the manager had arrived. As Fayme had finished telling her side of the situation, Alecander emerged from the growing crowd. "Rayne! Rayne!!" The usual cheery noble had a hint of fear in his voice. As the police tried to hold him back he announced his relation to the girl and they allowed him to pass. He hurried himself to the younger woman and launched himself into instant interrogation. "What happened? Were you hurt? What did they do to you?" Fayme gifted her brother with a simple smile and explained that Sven had come within the nick of time to dispose of the robbers permanently. She gestured at named gentleman who in turn, made his way over to them. rubbing the back of his neck, Sven greeted a simple, 'Hello.' Alecander thanked the man about 22 times along with a hug-- that seemed rather feminine. Finally Alec and Fayme had offered, "Would you like some dinner? Our thank you." wa Reply to This

He smiled and walked away for a minute to talk to the police cheif who had arrived on scene and been asking to speak to him. The cheif was waiting when he saw Sven his jaw dropped "Well i'll be when Kyo had told me you had come to town i wanted to see you funny we should run into each other under such circumstances." Sven smiled and couldnt believe it "Mr.Argue?!?! wooo look at you when kyo told me you were a cheif i didnt realize he meant levis city!" The men exchanged a hug and looked at each other "whats it been kid 7 years since Kyo, my wife and me left Klasnakov?" Cheif Argue asked. "Well sir yeah bu--" "Your dad contacted me, you know you and Kyo suck at keeping us informed, he sent me

a package for when i ran into you." The cheif handed kyo a Charge card shaking his head and smiling. "Ummm thank you Mr.Argue it was great seeing you again, and umm how will this go down, i mean i did just kill two men, in self defence granted but still." The cheif shook his head "Your fine kid I'll take care of all this and also that card has roughly all you'll need plus for the next three lifetimes, when Cho heard you were here he dontated half of his life savings, as a way to repay for that on---" The Cheif was interuped "Cheif were all good here were ready to roll out." the Cheif looked to his Lt. then back to Sven "Well kid it was good to see you i guess its time for me to go back to the station and write up my report but stay safe kid and tell kyo next week you and him are coming to dinner or his mom will kill you both, anyways later." The cheif and Sven shook hands and walked their seperate ways. Sven Snuck up on the waiting Rayne and Paige and grabbed Paiges butt and looked the other way. "What are you doing?!?!" Sven looked at Paige "Oh my how did that get their?!?!?" he laughed and took his hand off his butt and stood in front of them "Well so heres the deal i'd love to let you treat me to dinner but i have a lover at my house waiting for me to get home so we can eat.....sooo how about i treat you two to a great home cooked dinner at my place around 8 tonight and then you two can treat me leater?" Sven had offered and put the ball in their court " Well i guess, but.." Rayne started to say but Sven cut her off "Great ill txt you the directions later but now im going to shower, buy the groceries and cook, see you at 8!!" With that Sven ran off to the store to buy the food leaving Paige and Rayne to walk home in awe. "Did he say lover?" Paige looked at his sister "yeah he did, but i thought he lived with his friends ky-" she stopped midsentence "i think hes gay!!!" After going to the market to but dinner Sven walked in and set the groceries on the counter. "hmm its quiet weres Kyo" Curious he started to walk away to Kyos room but was suddenly tackled by Kyo. "Hey sexy where have you been all my life?" Kyo asked as they laid on the ground. Sven laughed "Saving that cute girl Rayne from robbers, you know day to day stuff." he joked "Why miss me?". Kyo laughed and pulled him and Sven up and sat him on the couch and pulled Svens shirt off starting to rub his back. "yeah a little, hows that feel?" Kyo inquired as he rubbed Sven muscular back. "Uuuhh soo good, i forgot how good you were at that, ifs your not careful i may rip your clothes off and make love to you right here." Sven and kyo burst out laughing "Sven sometimes i swear your gay the way you tease me." kyo stopped rubbing his back so he could bite Svens neck and run his hand down the front of Sven hard rock body to his navel then got off him and went to the kitchen looking at the groceries "Oh yeah kyo were having company tonight." Sven told kyo what happened and that they'd be to the house in about 2 hours for dinner. "Well in that case, i guess ill cook and you can go get a nap for a bit and then get all cute for that girl." Kyo said as he started seeing what Sven bought "Where did you get the money for all this? You got Steak, Lobster, fresh prawns, lettice...hmm looks like we will be having surf and turf with a Shrimp salad and you do love me dont you Sven you bought me flowers!" Kyo was entertained but Sven was already out on the couch, kyo couldnt help but smile. Two hours later Rayne and Paige arrived at Sven and Kyos Apartment "Well this is the place according to Svens txt" Rayne said as she knocked on the door, Kyo opened with a grin and welcomed them "Ahh nice to see you again Rayne glad to hear your ok and you must be the brother paige, correct?" After some small talk Kyo asked Rayne to go to Svens room and tell him the company was their "I'm sorry i would but i need to finish dinner so we can eat a good meal." So Rayne walked over to the room that Kyo had pointed out and opened the door only to see Sven completly naked with a pair of red and black boxers in his hand.

Send Message Delete If there was a red that was darker than tomatoes, darker than wild cherrys, Fayme had probably reached it. ~~ "Ah! The food smells delicious!" Exclaimed Alecander after getting a whip of the food being prepared by Kyo. The younger boy blushed furiously at the other's compliment and thanked him. Alecander offered Kyo help on setting the tables which Kyo gratefully accepted. As the stir fried vegetables cooked in the pan, Kyo would glance over at Alec, taking every feature into aspect. It was clear, the taller man had such curvature... that of a woman even. It was memorizing. From within the dining room Alecander could sense the eyes burning a hole through his clothing. It sent a little more than a chill up his spine. And Kyo knew he sensed it well. Based from the other's reaction, he was no doubt into that of the same persuasion and thus, ripe for the picking. Let the games begin. Kyosuke finished the stir fry and set it into a nice serving bowl. He walked over to the dining room where Alecander was placing various plates and silver wear into their specific spot. How did the man know where to set them anyway? It was so precise. He gave a small chuckle from behind Alecander as the named man admired his own fancy work. Alecander leaned over the table to fix a napkin out of place unconciously giving Kyo a lovely view... Which he ended up tapping making Alec nearly jump in startle. Kyo giggled with much amusement. That was it, this 'Paige' would be his fun little toy whether he liked it or not. ~~

"Oh... my... OH MY GOD!!" Shrieked Fayme trying to shield her eyes from the impure sight. Her visual innocence had now officially been tarnished. She began to trip over her own words. "I-- I uh-- I'm-- Oh god-- I'm SORRY!! I HAVE OFFICIALLY INTRUDED ON YOUR PRIVACY!!" She bowed many times with her hands in front of her face. Little did she know the man was blushing as much as she was. Fayme took the liberty of rushing out of the situation by rushing IN to the bathroom and locking it. She leaned against the door and her chest heaved in and out. Sex education informed her on technicalities but did NOT prepare her for such incidents like this. This, this... NO TUTOR IN THE WORLD COULD INFORM HER OF THIS. The insanity. "Rayne? Are you okay?" Questioned a sincere Sven. He seemed to stutter over his own words too. "I didn't know anyone would be coming this way! I-- I should've closed my door!" Secretly though, he hoped she had enjoyed the view. And from what he heard through the door, it didn't seem like she was gagging. That was a good sign he concluded. "What going on?" Questioned Kyo walking into the hallway with Alecander following behind. A now fully dressed Sven explained that 'Rayne' had apparently caught him at the wrong and saw something she shouldn't have. Alecander wailed at the tarnishment of his little sister's innocence. Fayme quietly stepped out from the restroom and politely apologized. "Don't mention it." Assured Sven. Kyo sighed, "Well if you all are done, please. Let's eat? I don't want to feast on cold food." Everyone agreed and walked to the main area with Sven and Fayme in the back. The strongly built man leaned in from behind the silver locked woman. "Did you enjoy the view?" He whispered, sending a shiver down her spine. The man walked infront of her and simply winked. There stay in Levis city, Fayme thought, was going to be nothing short of -- odd. Reply to This

Back on the train with the others "I am sooo bored!!." Naimah says from her seat. "Naimah you say that one more time..and I swear--." Lysander says irritated. "But it's true...I have nothing to do...hmmm." "What is it Naimah?" "I'm going to go for a little walk." They all look as the red and blue haired girl stood up from her seat and walked away. Jonah looked at the others and they all went back to what they were doing. "Should we just let her go on her own like that?" Jonah says curiously. "She'll be fine Jonah..she's a big girl..and besides she has been taking fighting classes." Klaus says matter-of-factly. "How come I didn't know about this?" He says shocked. "Uh because you haven't been around...duh." Lysander says as she tries to sleep. As they are talking Naimah is still walking and looks out the windows at the scenery as it passes by. She finds an empty seat nearby and sits by herself to look outside as snow starts to fall like confetti onto the ground. As this is taking place she starts to think things over...and wonders how long it will snow. "Hi there stranger." Says a women about Naimah's age. "Hello." Naimah smiles. "The seat next to you taken?" "No not at all...actually I should get going my friends are probably wondering where I am." "Oh..okay...I thought it would be nice to get to know someone on this train." She says looking sad. "Well I guess I can stay for a bit longer." Naimah says smiling. The lady that she just met sits down next to her and they start talking and getting to know each other. Before Naimah realizes hours have passed and it is dark outside. Next thing she knows Lysander is walking over and looks at Naimah surprised. "Hey there Naimah..who's your new friend?" Lysander says raising an eyebrow. "This is--" "I'm Iris..it's a pleasure to meet you..you must be Lysander I have heard so much about you." She says smiling. "You told her about me?" "Well yeah...you are my best friend after all." Naimah says smiling. "Well I came to get you because everyone is wondering where you are at." "Ah..okay." "Well it was nice meeting you two." "Nice meeting you as well Iris." They both say as Naimah stands up. "Maybe we'll run into each other like this again." "I would love that." Naimah says smiling. They finish up saying their goodbyes and then start to walk back to their part of the train. Naimah yawns and stretches as they head down. "She seemed like a nice woman." Lysander says smiling.

"Yeah I know right...we had a lot in common actually." Naimah says returning the smile. They both return and see that pretty much everyone had fallen asleep...except Klaus who was looking at the mission portfolio still. "Klaus why don't you sleep?" Naimah says mid yawn. "Because I'm not tired..but you on the other hand should get some sleep." Naimah had no argument there and slowly shut her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Reply to This

Send Message Delete Time: December 10th, 2029. 0650 Location: "Classified" After another day in the train, the group had finally found themselves at their destined location. So here they sat; in a circle, around a camp fire, with the so-called "best of the best"; aka Sofiel. It really seemed surreal. Society had finally shown it's face to her. She and civilization would be reunited in a sense. And yet, with all of this, one thing seemed to bother her. That was the people that was sent to retrieve her and the scientists she guarded. Her eyes traveled around examining each person. They first fixated on Zaniel, the boy she had threatened with a blade. Based on his introduction, he was no fool to mess with. The heir in a covent was business as the Covent of Luminarium was a large asset

to the Terentia. History was something she knew well. She then pinned her eyes on Naimah. Powers, premonition and teleportation. Her goal, the Black Panthers. Sofiel smirked at this. She could be a good apprentice. She was disciplined enough. Next, Jonah. A rather casual, Medic. She took little note of him, but did note the closeness between himself and Naimah. Possessive? Perhaps not. She'd look into this later if time deemed worthy. Following Jonah was 'Levin'. A serious man, much like Zaniel. Instantly he portrayed a persona of cunning and witty. Along with this, he seemed... aristocratic. This made her raise a brow; considering his accompany was... Klaus. She rolled her eyes at this fellow. She actually did remember him all to well. "Tell my why of all people; they sent you." Was her first sentence. This sent Klaus in phase of gloom in the back. "Don't tell me Sofi doesn't appreciate me!" He whined. The snow haired BP rolled her eyes. "Again, why you? The joker of the academy." Klaus smirked. "Hey respect your elders. I'm two years older than you are." "Dumbass." She said casual deserting the formality she presented when first meeting him. Lysander looked at the Sofiel, then at her brother. Though he had officially joined when he was 18 like everyone else, Klaus had ventured into the Academy quite frequently when he was much younger. He never told her why. Sofiel turned her attention to Lysander finally. "His sister." She mumbled. "Figures." Lysander scowled. "Excuse me?" You could see a twitch in her violet eye. Sofiel shrugged, "you and your brother are one in the same." Was that an insult or compliment? "Incompetent and cocky." OH. It WAS an insult. "You know what?" Lysander began to argue, but was calmed by Klaus' hand upon her shoulder. Lysander simply bit her lip. Sofiel smirked. "I'm sorry what was that?" Klaus smiled, "Don't mind my sister. She does get some of her traits from me 'madam'" a true hint of sarcasm. As the rest of the group observed the interaction between the two, they could tell they had some kind of connection... No, not romantically; but casually. Klaus had no fear nor any formality with this woman. As the sun began to rise, the scientists did too. Reply to This

Send Message Delete The group looks around just in time to see the scientists step out of their tents to meet up with them near the camp fire. "These are the people they sent?" One of the scientists says as he yawns. "I thought they would do better." Another one says walking up toward them. "Do better?!?" Naimah says annoyed. "Naimah calm down..we wouldn't want anyone getting into a fight." Naimah stands up and glares at all the scientists making her eyes look a deeper shade of green. They all look at her wide eyed. "She won't hurt you." Sofiel says confidently. "How do you know that?" Naimah says glaring at her. "Because you have too much control to just let it all go and attack." Sofiel says looking Naimah in the eyes. Naimah finally just relaxes and sits back down on the ground and the group does the same. Reply to This Replies to This Discussion Permalink Reply by Faith ~Sola Fide~ on January 17, 2010 at 9:22pm Send Message Delete Klaus stepped in front of the group along with Sofiel as spokesmen. He heard many whispers from the scientists. "Isn't that the de Maino's kid?" "Big now, eh?" "Looks kind of like his dad." Sofiel leaned over and mumbled, "The legacy still stands, kid." He leaned over and whispered back. "Don't call me, kid. I'm older than you." She smirked. "You may be older than me, but you haven't grown up and matured one bit since that day we met."

She then took a step forward and made the announcement. "As you all know, the word had been sent that CG finally requires our assistance and our presence. As of right now, our orders are to pack up and move back to Cerulean. The group behind me are our escorts. They are lead by Specialist Klaus de Maino." She cringed at his name while he flashed a ridiculous smile stretching from ear to ear. He then made his small speech. "As your escorts, we're here to make your travel as smooth as possible. If any of you require our assistance in packing, questions, etc. Please don't hesitate to request." With his final word, the group had split to help out the various scientists. With or with out consent. Reply to This

Permalink Reply by xXInvisichickXx on January 17, 2010 at 9:38pm Send Message Delete Naimah walked with one of the scientists to his place to help him pack his things. He put his suitcase onto his bed and started handing Naimah clothes and such as he went to get his equipment. 'What's this?' Naimah thinks as she reaches for a folder near the bed. "Don't touch that!!" He says and glares at her. "You can't tell me what to do." Naimah says childishly. "I'm warning you don't look into that folder!" "And what are you going to do about it?!" Naimah says. All of a sudden the folder drops to the floor and Naimah is thrown against the wall with the scientist holding her neck. "You try to open that folder again and I will make sure that you die a slow and painful death..you understand?" He whispers into her ear. Naimah too scared to think just nods her head and then he starts to slowly release her and she just goes back to helping to pack...in silence this time. When she was done she took the bag outside and stood there in silence as everyone else started to gather together they noticed this and found it to be very odd for Naimah to be acting this way...but they knew in her own time that she would tell them what happened.

Alcander pierced through the silence first. "It may seem outside the borders of our business, but--" Zaniel continued, "You don't seem like yourself." "Did something happen in one of the tents?" Lysander questioned. Jonah looked at Naimah with the uttermost concern in his eyes, but he said nothing. Speaking was not communication, but she knew his thoughts. Naimah nodded in understanding then glanced ahead at the scientist stacking boxes into a trailer. In Particular, she eyed the scientist who had the dramatic scene with her earlier. He was clutching the folder. Classified. "They mean well." A voice interrupted. It was Sofiel's. "Yes, they seem cold and rude, but mind you. We have been here and away from civilization for a long time. Probably more than half of these scientists have families at home. They haven't seen them in many years. We've been incognito. Living in such a... place. They're probably cranky having to work late nights as well doing research." The group gazed at the woman who held the title 'best'. While best seemed like cocky title in itself, Sofiel was indeed wise by experience at the least. That was no doubt. "Hey, guys! What are you all standing there for?" Called Klaus from afar. Sofiel nodded and her dazed expression turned to that of stiffness. "Yes, you all seem to find the time to just have your head in the clouds." Her piercing eyes and now crooked smile said one thing. "Get to work." The group humbly obliged. (with a bit of eye rolling from Lysander. That truly did make Sofiel's day.) Reply to This

"I don't quite know...but I think it would be best to find out...and soon." Zaniel replies. They both look over to see that Naimah is helping carry boxes and such and they also notice one of the scientists glaring at her while holding the 'classified folder'. Naimah all of a sudden bumps the folder with her hip. "Watch where you're going!...and you should be carrying more boxes than that!" "You know what!" Naimah yells dropping the box on the scientists lap. "Naimah..remain---." "No you know what!?! I'm sick of your crap!" Points at the scientist. "All you have done today is boss me around and threaten me with a slow and painful death...you know what if you want me dead do badly...do it!! Kill me you bastard!!...At least I would be free from you!" The scientist looks at her shocked by her words but then straightens out his face and then picks up the box and walks up to her.

"Carry this box...now...you are so slow." "Okay that's it! Let's do this...right now!!" She picks up another box and throws it at him and as he dodges it she pounces and lands on him. The scientist starts to freak out as Naimah holds her fist in the air. Naimah then starts to land punches on his face and his glasses go flying and break on the ground. "I HATE YOU, YOU BASTARD!!" "GET THIS CRAZY BITCH OFF ME!" The whole group comes over and tries to separate them...it took a few tries but it finally worked. They all looked at Naimah completely speechless by her behavior..but they were also mad at the scientist who threatened her and criticized her endlessly. "You need to keep her under control!" The scientist said trying to find his glasses. "You need to learn to shut your mouth!" Lysander said angry. "Yeah if it wasn't for your bad manners and mean ways she wouldn't have exploded like she did!" Klaus says glaring at him. Reply to This

"You kid have no right to talk." Klaus became wide eyed and his glare all of the sudden made the temperature go down. "Why you..." Just then a female scientist came up behind the one that had just made a scene with the Terentia Apprentice. "Charles." "Tsch. Whatever Bridgette." The spectacled man gathered the folder back and marched back into the tent. The woman fixated on the Terentia. She had blonde hair tied in a pony tail letting loose curls free. "I can't say sorry on behalf of my colleague, for it would be a false apology." she stated quietly. Naimah eyed the woman feeling a tad bit sympathy. "Are you friends with him?" She questioned. "He's my cousin." she answered, again quietly. Pity fell upon the woman, but the look in her eyes told that she no longer wanted to say anything of it. She bowed at the trio. "I'm very sorry for his rudeness." She said loudly, now contradicting her earlier statement. Naimah looked stunned. "Uh... Its fine, you don't have to be so proper." She chuckled lightly. She looked up, "Oh.. sorry." Naimah and Lysander followed her eyes which just happened to focus on a

certain brunette. Then they stared at each other in curiosity. The man still had a vicious cold look. It was odd. The woman then stepped up to Naimah. "If you don't mind, I'd like to treat you all to a bit of lunch. I know it seems like the camp doesn't offer much, but I'm one hell of a cook." She said cheerfully. Naimah smiled. The scientist earlier was a definite ass, but it seemed like this lady had no relation to him at all. Reply to This

"You guys don't really have to do this." "But it's the least we can do." Klaus says smiling. Bridgette returns the smile and they all get back to preparing the meal that they are going to eat. All of them have their own separate tasks in the kitchen. "Naimah could you cut this for me?" Bridgette says smiling. "Sure no problem." Naimah says taking the lettuce. Naimah walks over to the cutting board near the sink and starts to slice the lettuce. Everyone is busy doing their thing when the sounds of pots and pans falling out of the cupboard interrupts everyone's work. "My bad!" Lysander says trying to pick up the pots and pans. "Here Lysander let me help." Naimah says. Naimah walks over to help Lysander get things picked up off the floor and then walks back and gets back to cutting the lettuce. "Klaus can you get another pot from the cupboard." "No problem Bridgette." Naimah all of a sudden zones out and see Klaus opening the cupboard and getting buried in pots and pans. She runs over to Klaus as he opens it and pushes him out of the way just as the pots and pans fall out. Reply to This

Thanks Nai... Erg..." The red head looked down at him and blushed in realization. "Oh god." "Hey I heard something. Is everyone okay?... Oh." 'SHIT!' the two cursed mentally, not at the fact they were seen in this position, but by who had caught them. Jonah's arms sat lifelessly at his sides as he gawked at the sight in front of him. He clenched his fists trying to restrain. Suddenly a lettuce was rammed and dented into his face, by a certain girl. "Chill out, Lover Boyfriend." Lysander stated frankly. "Naimah just saved my bro's ass from utter death." Jonah took notice of the many pots and pans laying on the ground next to Klaus and Naimah who were apparently still laying on the ground in an awkward position. Jonah then looked at Lysander with a sarcastic smirk. His fists began to loosen and he smiled lightly. "Here... let me help you out." He walked over to the two and held both his hands out helping Naimah and Klaus to their feet. He then knelt down to pick up the pots and pans and Lysander went back to chopping. Reply to This

This camp is small therefore word travels fast." "Or rumors." Alcander concluded. Klaus shrugged at the two boys and stated candidly, "Pots and pans fell, Naimah tackled me for a save, and we got caught by Jonah in an awkward position." The two gentleman became wide eyed. "Nothing more happened. The situation was fixed and we acted like nothing happened." He gave Lysander her props for turning what could've been a bad situation around. "It figures you would get into a weird situation. You were always a player, kid." Sofiel mumbled as she walked up next to him. The two flashed each other a glare and then separated. Alcander and Zaniel looked left and right before discussing the situation. "Hisotry?" "Seems like it." "Pairing? Love hate pairings are known to be popular." "Ah, I think those two just have the hate part covered. You and Lysander have at least some understanding." "And that's suppose to mean..."

"Quit playing dense." "Don't tease me." Zaniel chuckled lowly at the blush at his comrades face. By the end of the day, everything had been packed and the group started on their way back to their destination, via Train... again. Reply to This

Send Message Delete This time on the train everyone seemed to be at unease as they sat near each other...but all in separate seats. Naimah looked over the the scientist she attacked earlier and how he glared back at her with his cracked glasses. "Naimah you alright?" Lysander said from the seat in front of her. "Yeah I'm fine..why do you ask?" "Just because it seems like that dude Charles is still getting to you...you think you can handle it and try not to beat him up?" "Yeah...I can do just fine." Naimah looks over at everyone and can feel the tension in the room and decides to go and take a walk and look around again. She gets up from her seat and walks to another part of the train to calm down. Reply to This

Send Message Delete Lysander slouched over in her seat began to wonder. How did it end up like this? Usually she was the one who constantly lost her cool with people. She did threaten to hurt the 'legendary' Sofiel earlier. Maybe she was just all talk... Really, where had this side of Naimah come from? She continued to ponder hard. Maybe Naimah always felt this way, but she didn't let it out until just recently. Was Naimah hiding some emotion that no one had seen? Lysander felt the guilt emerge... She felt like an ass for not realizing it. And as much as she instinctively wanted to bug Naimah until she broke out of her shell; there was a time for everything. She directed her attention elsewhere to relieve the questions from her mind. Instead, she found a new set of questions concerning a certain brother. Klaus seemed unusually irritable. It was a VERY rare sighting to see him so pissed off... First Naimah, now her very own brother? Lysander hated being left in the dust. She looked over the other seats to see Klaus asleep in the one right in front of her and Sofiel in the one across from him. Was there something going on with those two? Maybe they were past lovers! Thus the bitterness. No, don't assume weird things. She shook the thoughts from her head... There was also that 'Charles' guy. He had pissed Klaus off. "You, Kid, have no right to talk." Her nose crinkled as she pondered. "Its bugging you, huh?" Alcander said in the seat from across the isle. Her eyes darted else where. The boy smiled and took the empty seat next to her. "Where's Zaniel?" "Interrogating Naimah." "Eh?" "Don't worry about it. Trust me. Zaniel has his ways of getting people to talk. It worked for me." Somehow that sentence didn't make Lysander feel much better... Where have I been? Reply to This

Send Message Delete The red and blue haired girl walked and finally sat down in a seat looking out the window. She all of a sudden felt like she wasn't alone and then that feeling was confirmed when she felt someone sit down. "Nice view isn't it?" "Zaniel?" Naimah said turning away from the window. "Yes it is I...I did not mean to startle you." "No it's fine...why did you come to talk to me?" Naimah said raising an eyebrow. "I have come to talk to you about why you are acting up." "What do you mean?" "I mean about the fight you started and the fact you actually went through with it....what has made you so irritable?" "I don't really know...I have...things have just been so complicated recently." "Ah I see...anything you would like to share?" Zaniel says with a smile. She nods and they start to talk about how things have changed from the time they ran away from the academy and the time that they had to come back. Also the fact that Sofiel and her gang of scientists was not helping her mood at all. "Ah..I see.." "Yes...and there is also the fact that Jonah has been so busy...and he's gone all the time.." "You miss him don't you?" "Well yes I do miss him very much..but it seems like he has changed since we have returned to the academy." "Ah...okay." They both keep talking and Naimah opens up more about her life. She did not know Zaniel very well

but yet she felt like she could talk to him about anything...almost like an older brother that she never had. "Thanks Zaniel..." Naimah said concluding their talk. "Anytime Naimah....would you like to head back now?" Zaniel says to her. "You go ahead I'm going to sit here for a bit longer." "As you wish." He says walking back to the others. As he leaves Naimah yawns and falls asleep.

"Well, it IS the CG." tap. tap. tap. "Who ever's tapping the pencil, that's getting to be a nuisance." The mood in the room had an intense staleness. Somehow, it had managed to fit Klaus, Jonah, Sofiel, the apprentices, and all the scientists; and still gave everyone some bit of room to breathe; but the tensions between the apprentices and most of the scientists didn't cool down (with the exception of Bridgette). Suddenly, the doors to the office swung open and the man of the meeting had arrived. "So sorry I'm late! Traffic was a killer!" chortled the CG. "Traffic?! You practically live inside the Academy!" bellowed Klaus, Lysander, and Naimah at the same time. Dear leader had been sent into a temporary state of gloom. Sofiel stepped up and bowed. "Sir, thank you for allowing us to return back to the state." The older man looked up and pulled Sofiel into a tight squeeze. "Ohhhh!!!! Sofie!!!!! It has been a while!!! You still look at sly as ever, darling!!! It really is adorable you haven't let your hair down all this time!!!--" "CG! Uh... sir." "You look like you haven't gotten a wrinkle at all!" "Sir, I'm 23." "Ah, but being up day and night! really!" "Sir, your squeezing me."

"Awe you're so adorable!!" As swiftly as she had been pulled into the back shattering hug, the had swiftly disappeared from it like a ninja. Ways unknown. Again, the CG was sent into a phase of gloom in the corner, Sofiel dusted herself off, and the two known siblings were laughing themselves into an oblivion. Smoothly, the leader had straightened his back and cleared himself into a serious mood... Finally. "Now," He turned to the group of students and apprentices. "You all have done a job well done on the mission. I personally thank you on behalf of the entire state." The group simply smiled in return and the man continued. "Now, I have a few things to discuss with our honored homebodies. I'll request and appearance with you all later." The group nodded and guided themselves out of the room. Once the door had closed though, three ears were pressed against the door. "What do you think they're doing in there?" whispered Naimah. Klaus snickered quietly. "Probably giving Sofiel some kind of award. She had a knack for being the favorite." Lysander smirked. "You seem kind of bitter." "Bitter? No, I'm simply stating the obvious that she was a teachers pet." "That does sound like a statement of bitterness." said the two more aristocratic like males of the group. Jonah lips simply curved up in silence. Eye twitching seemed to be popular this time around. "Well, no use worrying about it. Lets just go have a snack." Said Klaus walking off. Reply to This

Youre having a bad dream. Upon hearing his name being called out and feeling hands shaking him awake, he opened his eyes to find a concerned Levin. Levin? What is the matter? he asked a bit groggily. Whats the matter? Dont you remember? he asked, You looked like you were having a bad dream. Was I? I do not recall he lied, not knowing of what to make of his dream. Are you sure? It seemed like a pretty nasty one. Look at you, youre soaked with sweat. Only noticing after Levin pointed it out, Zaniel finally felt his shirt sticking to his skin. He didnt know what the dream was from but it emitted evil and destruction. Release me. That voice, murderous and full of lies. It sent chill up his skin just thinking about it. Zaniel shook his head to get rid of his thoughts and decided reading into it too much will get him nowhere. I am fine now. Thank you for being concerned he politely told Levin, May you excuse me? I think that I will take a quick shower and change clothes. Sure. It was no problem. But are you sure youre alright now? he asked, feeling that Zaniel was keeping something he wants to say. Yes. It was just a bad dream, I presume. And with that he left to go to the bathroom. ~~ After his quick shower and getting dressed in new clothes, Zaniel laid down on his own bed. Listening to the sounds of their room, all he could hear was the steady rhythmic breathing of his roommate. He tried to go back to sleep, but he couldnt, and he knew why. He was afraid. Of what? He didnt know, but something bad, no something dreadful and evil was sure to come, he was sure of it. And the rest of the night, he lied awake in bed, only finally falling asleep unconsciously.

"Naimah, what the heck could you be doing at this time..." Then silence... "... Yeah, good night to you too." "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The loud shrill threw Lysander right off her bed in startle. Naimah on her bed was thrashing about. "Naimah! Naimah, what's wrong!?" Lysander cried trying to shake Naimah awake. The unconscious girl continued to thrash as if she were possessed crying aloud. "Naimah!" A hand flew Lysander's way which she dodged. More crying and thrashing. Then a slap. "Naimah." Naimah blinked at her friend and rubbed her cheek. Hey eyes were widened... She was dead silent. "What happened." Lysander's question seemed more like a command.

"Th-- The Poneros." This time the younger friend's eyes widened... Naimah continued, "It's wasn't a nightmare, Ly. It--" she choked, "It was a vision." "How can you be sure? You were unconscious." "No dream can be that vivid." Naimah clinged onto her arms hugging herself and sobbed. 'Why is this happening?' "We'll report it to the CG tomorrow morning, first thing." Concluded Lysander.

Back again?" greeted the guard. Klaus saluted back. "Yeah, just checking up on the youngsters. You know kids!" responded Klaus slapping the man on the back. "You were one of those kids too once. In fact, I still think you are!" "Proud of it, Leonell." The two men saluted again and Klaus made his way into the campus toward the dormitories. Though it was routine to greet all his apprentice friends in the morning after the early check in with the colonel, he didn't find this visit to be anything of ordinary... Not since what Zaniel had told them that day. And since that day, Klaus' stomach began to feel a bit more queasy than usual. He made his way toward the boys dorm on the South Building. Level 8. Room 1295. The room where Alcander also known as Levin and Zaniel were residing. Empty. Really, It made the brunette feel a bit disappointed. He usually woke them up. He shrugged and headed to the girl's dorm. They would probably be asleep still, at least. After all, Klaus thought it was male common sense to think all girls slept in for the sake of their 'beauty sleep'; or some jazz like that. -Location: Northern State. Cerulean. NSTA. North Building. Level 10. Room 0431 Klaus trotted up the stairs in pure excitement. Perhaps the run across the campus to the girls' dorm was what gave him the rush. Wind in his face, and the pressure in his blood. No need to take the elevators, just the stairs. And when he finally reached the 10th floor he creeped to their rooms to give an aura of surprise. But he was welcomed with was not his idea of a surprise of any sort. "A vision?"

"Yeah. Thats what I think it is." Rather than intruding in mid-conversation, Klaus leaned against the wall next to the door and simply eavesdroped. Lysander tapped a pen on the desk and thought aloud. "None of us have information on the topic other than what has been already informed. Why is it that two are having dreams?" "I hardly call them dreams." mumbled Naimah. Zaniel nodded weakly. Both of them presented the look of exhaustion from sleepless nights. A shuffle from the hall hooked their attention. "Brother, how long have you been standing there?" Klaus walked in casually, "not very long." He chuckled. "I just wanted to see where everyone went! You know how worried I was about everyone?! I thought the apocalypse happened and you all disappeared or something. It sucks thinking you're the only person here!" The room was filled with light laughter. Alcander stood from one of the occupied computer chairs. "Well, I guess your being here is a signal to breakfast?" Lysander also stood, "I agree. Lets get something to eat." Naimah and Zaniel nodded and were helped to their feet and the group began to make their way to the mess hall in the Central Building. -Location: Northern State. Cerulean. NSTA. Central Building. Mess Hall. As the girl went to wait in the long line of hungry students, the boys waited at the table. "So, now that it's out of the ears of the ladies, what are your thoughts?" asked Alcander. Klaus took a bite out of an apple looking at the other two gentleman who stared intently. He couldn't fool most after all. He stayed in silence. "Lysander knows you've got racing thoughts too, but she says you wouldl tell her when you want. Zaniel and I don't ask for the same patience." "Levin, your pushing for things you don't even know exist. I just got there." he finalized after taking the last bite and stood checking his watch. "Well I have matters to attend to, I'll bug everyone later!" He grinned and walked off. "... He's never busy." "Ah." "Follow him?" "My thoughts precisely." That was the plan. When the classes for the Apprentices began that day, Zane and 'Levin' would be taking their own field trip. Reply to This

It hadn't been that long since the mission concerning the scientists and the Sofiel, but everyone had figured their association was a one time deal. Besides Sofiel lunching with the group for one day. Lunch with the infamous wans't even that bad besides a few side cocky remarks from various unnamed ends at both sides of the table. But that was going off topic. The question of the hour what business did Klaus have with the scientists? And regardless if it was just an inspection of some sort, Klaus receiving a mission was just amusing for no particular reason. Least in Al's and Zane's it was. As quickly as they could without being noticed, they followed Klaus into Bureau. From there, they watched. "Did the CG send you?" "I need to speak with the scientists." Sofiel shook her head. "I need a reason, Klaus." "Sofiel, let me through." "Don't be ignorant." "..." "... Fine." she grumbled and sighed as she stepped it out of his way. The two noble persona'd men knew they couldn't make it past the Black Panther. "So you two mind telling me why Klaus doesn't know you're here... Or why you're here at all?" ask a voice directly behind their necks. -He kicked the door open and marched in. His words were blunt and brief. "Give it back to me." Bridgette approached him first trying to calm him down. Her eyes were in shock like everyone else's by the unannounced 'intruder'. Charles stood as well. "Kid where the hell do you get off barging in like this and demanding something so vague? We don't know what you're talking abot." Klaus scowled. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You have what belongs me."

Charles smirked. "Belongs to you? NO, kid. This belongs to science." "--No. you don't know. The owner of that heirloom is under my name. So says the certificate. You know well why I handed it to you all in the first place." As Charles was about to argue back, Bridgette intervened. Klaus, that trinket was put into our care for a reason. We can't simply give it to you. "I can't trust it in anyone else's hands anymore, Bridgette. My friends are getting involved now. I had no idea they would be." Another man then inserted himself into the conversation. "It's common knowledge to be aware of that, boy. If you didn't realize this before, you're arrogant." "... Professor Oak." Klaus saluted. Charles scoffed. The specialist continued. "I approached this the wrong way. Sirs, madams. Everyone believes that you all are the holders of what everyone wants. And the fact the CG wanted you back in the city not only makes you apart of the civilization of again, it makes you all vulnerable to any sort of attack. Enemies are willing to attack the capital for whats you have. You must entrust it into more secretive hands. "We don't have it." Charles flatly stated. The temperature shortly dropped. "What?" "We don't have it." He repeated. "And we wont tell you where it is!" A sudden thud and the argumentative scientist found himself on the floor with a bloody nose. The door swung open with Sofiel, Zaniel an Levin running in. "I thought I told you--" "You didn't tell me anything." "Klaus, get out." Sofiel ordered strictly. "Don't make me use my weapons on you. You know what my sole mission is." -"So do you want to know how much we heard?" Levin questioned as the walked down the stairs. "Sure, knock me out." "It would be in our best interesting if you told us a bit about that heirloom you care for so much." stated Zaniel. Klaus paused for moment then answered, "This would be best if we talked about this with the Commander General in private." Reply to This

Time: December 16th, 2029. 1300 Location: Northern State. Cerulean. Sleeks Headquarters. General Commander's Office. 'Jeffrey' slowly placed his spectacles onto the smoothly carved desk in front of him and massaged his temple. It wasn't a typical reporting from some random student. It was the three gentleman in front of him. One of the top specialists of the Delta Force and former MIA; the son and heir to an allied covenant; and a militaristic noble's son. No, it wasn't surprising at all. It was a matter of time, but it had come all too soon. "Perhaps the Cerulean air is becoming a bit tensed for your noses." He said aloud. The three gawked at the man with annoyance at the same time, confusion. They had just finished concluding that they had dreams about the biggest hazard to humanity and it was painful enough to even be real; and he mentions air? And why did he keep his position? Noticing this look upon their faces, the CG continued on. "Here's a mission. You all may need it." He placed a new folder on the desk. Alcander opened up and the three investigated it file to file as the leader explained further. "There's an agent somewhere in the Western State. No, not MIA, but he could potentially be if no new information comes to us soon. I was planning on assigning that mission to Sofiel, but she had other business to attend to." he said in reference to her very long mission. "Wouldn't it be key to give her this mission as well? She skills would be excellent for retrieving." asked Klaus, unknowingly sarcastically, and yet sincerely. How converse. "I have other plans for her." "Ah." "Anyway, in likeness of your last mission, it would be most helpful if this man was brought back alive. BUT in the case that he doesn't come back alive, and there is every chance of that happening, the first thing you do when you meet with him is to gather whatever information he has already. Remember that." The three simply nodded. "And while you're in the Western State,--" suddenly the man paused and began to dig through various files in the drawers of his desk. He drew out a folded piece of paper and unfolded it.... And unfolded it again. And continued unfolding.... And unfolding... Again.... And again... And again..... And again.... And continued unfolding until what seemed like a small folded piece of paper was stretched past the feet of the men across the table. The Commander General suddenly jumped up in enthusiasm and pointed with the same energy. "The Western State is EXTREMELY famous for its remedies! Here are each of the top sites for remedies and therapy MADE for the human soul!" He acclaimed his fancywork. Zaniel, Alcander, and Klaus began reading the first few choices aloud.

"Western State ... Make-Your-Mind-Scream Theme park." "... A bowling alley?" "... A REHABILITATION CLINIC!?" The three glanced at each other, then straight forward.... and tore the list into sixths. The General fell off his seat into a world of woe. The Terentia soldiers simply sighed. "We accept." Reply to This

Because, my darling little sister, the earlier we leave, the faster we can finish this he answered her with a smirk. . She opened her mouth to say something but it was futile being still half asleep. Nodding off, she slumbered for the rest of the ride. Naimah, on the other hand, was still afraid to sleep. The dream still haunted her like a broken record, replaying again and again, saying the same words. Beside her was Jonah who tried to get her to sleep or at least nap but failed like the others multiple times. The ride to the West was not going to be a long one seeing that they took the fastest train there. Every one of them was anxious and wired. Doing their own little thing during the course of travel, they momentarily distracted themselves for the time being. Reply to This

Send Message Delete Back in the three men, the swerved their chairs so it was shaped into a perfect right triangle. In between Alcander and Zaniel was a chess board with all the pieces scattered in their war tactic positions. Klaus sat in the middle of this and stared at the on going intensely. The two men versing each other saw through the 'silently boring' aspect of chess and saw it for its true potential. Leadership Development. The formation of all necessary tactics. It ruled out what could be useful and what couldn't. Sure, if you were the king of a nation and not inanimate objects, the moving of one's 'pawns' would be less than tyrannical. These men agreed that ruling with a dictatorship was oppressive and subjects would not follow because their subjects had minds of their own. Fortunately and unfortunately, Chess was a game filled WITH inanimate objects bent for tyrannical

dictatorship. Why? These pieces had no mind of their own. The leader had to think for each piece; and in advanced nonetheless. They had to calculate, the recalculate. It made the game all the more fun, really; to test each other like so. "Check." "I believe you have left rook wide open for the taking, Zaniel. By my pawn taking it, your rook would be defenseless." "Yes, then by moving my queen before my rook, you would lose your pawn." "Ah, that would be a problem." "Ah, 'indeed.'" "B3 to D5 it is then." "Your bishop." Klaus simply twitched at the game that last many hours- no, moons. Couldn't they call it a draw already? And they spoke their thoughts aloud like that. Who does that? That's giving away information and no leader did that at all. Yes, he was a man for chess as well, but he had his limits. He didn't know whether to call this competitive, or a learning experience. Maybe they were each other's teachers... something like that. He decided to look back on the game in a couple of minutes after checking on the other three. As the clocked ticked he knew how the group was beginning to become split from those who knew it all, to those who knew nothing. One day, if this entire war ended in the right way, Lysander would inflict on his sorry ass the proper beating he as a brother knew he deserved. He'd probably allow Naimah to do the same. It made him wonder if Alcander had this same feeling each time he lied to that sister of his... His sister, wasn't she given a mission by him of some sort? The dialog in the memory was coming to be faded. There was screaming... and tears... Oh she had also threatened him with a knife at his throat. Fragile and innocent. At first glance, she was simply a young girl that could be swayed by emotion or the leadership. But if well equipped and with her intelligence (which Alcander had described many times.) she was just as capable of being fierce, like the rest of her siblings. This was why she was another member of the military. Klaus glanced back at the pieces. What would be a good description for such people anyway? The bishop was too predicable. Pawns could turn into any chess piece besides the king. Maybe it was that one... But there was also the knights that were deceptive with their movements... and very noble. "Check." "Un-checked." "Is that a word?" "The last time I did my research, I think not."

The brunette narrowed his eyes, they were still going at it?! After his damn mental monologue?! This was impossible. If those two ever fought in real life against each other, it would go on for days! Apparently, he had completely shoved that entire monologue to the back of his head with all doubt of touching it again. A paper ball flew at his head from behind him. Written in it, 'If you're all done playing your game of warfare, the conductor announced the train would be arriving in five. -Your darling little sister... semijerk.'

"Now." Jonah said. "Focus a while back." Levin smirked, joining in on the fun. Klaus eyes grew as the thoughts came back to him. "... Naimah...?" Lysander questioned. "Uh... I have no clue." The ladies really hated being out of the inner circle. If this continued, they'd be eating someone's head for dinner. Then a widening smirk appeared on the brunette. This surprised the two beside him... That wasn't parto of the joke. And it wasn't, until the wheels in Klaus' head began spinning. He had a knack for twisting silly situations like these to his advantages. A little humor was his cup of tea. He knew it. Zaniel truly had the urge to look over his shoulder at the commotion behind him, but there was really no need for that when two arms slinked around his shoulders and waist. The young man tensed at the feeling and even more so when a certain jokester's hot breath was pressed again his ear. "Yes... I think I remember it now..." he whispered. Jonah, Levin, Lysander, and Naimah gawked with practical 'O's for facial expressions at the sight gracing them... for the girls anyway. The other two boys looked at each other dumbfounded clueless to what has just occurred.

Klaus thought this was fun really. Zaniel would probably cast some spell on him later... He'll just add it to the list of horrifying illegal inflictions Klaus thought he deserved, right next to the flogging from his sister and her best friend. The elevator doors swung open and the group faced themselves with a family of 7. A mother, father, grandparents, daughter, son, and infant against a group of young adults. One of which was clinging to another with the seeming attempt to ravish the man his clinged on to. Well this was awkward. Klaus unlatched himself from the younger and smiled at the family. "Hello!!!!" He squeaked nervously. With that, he picked up the bags from the elevator floor and dashed out of the elevator who-knows how many miles a minute. "Klaus!" Naimah called after him. Lysander called along "Wait for us!" Reply to This

Looking at each other, they all laughed at what has just happened and the hall was filled with laughter for a while. Grabbing their keycards, Niamah and Lysander, opened their room and went inside without another word but See you guys later. The guys did the same and decided that they would room with the same person they shared a bed back in their last hotel. And with that Jonah and Levin, entered their room while a nervous Zaniel and oblivious Klaus stood in the hallway. Putting their keycard in, the door opened to their room and they entered. The room was nothing special, except for the holographic mini-Christmas tree on the coffee table and little holographic gifts under it, but aside from that it looked like any hotel room; clean, proper and furnished just enough. Walking to the drawers, Zane dropped his messenger and started to put things in when warm arms wrapped around him, startling him. Now, where were we? Klaus asked huskily, breathing into Zaniels ear once again, causing the younger man to shiver. Letting his hands roam, he removed Zaniels coat and kissed his bare neck, teasing him. Klaus he managed to voice out, What are you doing? The joke is over. He didnt get a reply but was instead spun around, and the next thing he knows, he was staring into Klaus eyes, full of wanting and lust. Reddening at how close their faces are, a mere inch or two apart, Zane averted his gaze away from the person in front of him. One of Klaus hands then reached for his face and with control but with gentleness at the same time, he cupped his face and made their eyes meet again. Klaus was acting strange but Zaniel didnt mind. He liked how Klaus was close to him and

wanted him. How his body heat comforted him back in Cerulean, how it made him feel safe. Blushing at his thoughts, he shook his head. He knew that things were going to happen, and he knew it was wrong but why did it feel right? Preparing for the inevitable, Zaniel gazed into Klaus bright green orbs and moved closer and closer until their lips met and touched, sending a warm sensation throughout his body. Reply to This

"I can't...every time I close my eyes I see it...and it frightens me...it feels so real." Naimah says trying to keep her eyes open. "How about if I stay awake while you sleep and so that way if you start to have a nightmare I can wake you up?" Lysander hears a thud and see that Naimah fell off the bed and fell asleep on the floor. Knock Knock "May I come in...I heard a noise." "Yes you can come in." Alcander walks in and looks at Naimah asleep on the floor and then looks at Lysander who is sitting on the bed. "Would you like me to help her onto the bed?" "Uh yes please." Alcander or 'Levin' nods at her and then bends down and gently picks Naimah up trying not to wake her and sets her on the bed. "So she finally fell asleep?" "Yep." Lysander says smiling. "Well I should be going I guess." "Uh okay...goodnight Levin." "Goodnight Lysander." Alcander walks to the door looks back at Lysander and then closes the door behind him as he heads back to his room. Reply to This

Permalink Reply by LC Thomas Tristian Lagman on January 29, 2010 at 12:49am Delete -Zaniel and Klaus roomThe kiss was different from when he received one from Jonah on a dare. It was rough but also soft and sweet and addicting. Wrapping his arms around his neck, Zaniel pulled Klaus closer to him, giving Klaus the initiative to ask for entrance. Their lips danced for what seem hours to both and Klaus taking command, slowly licked Zaniels bottom lip and nibbled at it lightly for access. Accepting the request, he slowly slightly opened his mouth and granted Klaus admission. Their tongues touched and explored each others mouth, enjoying the taste of each other, fighting for dominance. Klaus taking the lead flicked his tongue on Zaniels and slowly rubbed it, making circles on the warm flesh. He earned a moan as a response from his white-haired companion and smirked. Without breaking contract from their kiss, Klaus lead Zaniel to the bed and pushed him lightly on it, him being on top. Now on the bed, their kiss continued only to be interrupted once for the need to breathe. Leaning forehead to forehead, they gazed at each other intensely as they both panted, breathing heavily. His hands just lying on his side, Zaniel moved them to Klaus chest and felt his breathing and heartbeat. What are we doing? he asked his older comrade, Why are you doing this? Not knowing how to answer the question, Klaus answered him with a question. Why are you letting me do this? Surprised at his question, he mumbled and blushed deeply. I do not know why, but it feels right and. Not being able to finish his sentence, he was cut off by Klaus lips. Isnt that enough a reason? It feels right to me too and somehow, I guess were both curious. Klaus whispered softly and brushed his lips against Zaniels. May I kiss you again? Zaniel didnt know why but he couldnt resist saying yes to Klaus when he asked him with a supple and flustered look on his face. It was so unlike him. His face getting redder if that was possible; Zaniel nodded and closed the gap between them, his hands still on Klaus chest and Klaus straddling his waist. Reply to This

Permalink Reply by LC Thomas Tristian Lagman on January 30, 2010 at 1:08am Delete As they continued their kissing session, Klaus let his hands roam around and soon found the bottom of Zaniels shirt. Breaking off their kiss, Klaus pulled on it, signaling he wanted it off. To help the older boy, Zaniel lifted his arms and in one movement his shirt was off and was tossed on the floor. Feeling embarrassed as Klaus stared at his bare chest; he shyly tugged on the other boys shirt and slowly took it off with help from the other. Now both half naked, he stared at Klaus torso; beautifully sculpted,

body lines adoring his body. Feeling the eyes of the snowed haired boy, he advanced toward him and kissed him again. This time moving down from his jawline to his neck, licking and biting, until a red mark appeared which put a smile on his face. Things were going to be interesting from now on. Smiling at Zaniels expression, he went farther down and started a trail of kisses down his chest which earned him an irresistible cute mewl. Hearing that mewl, Klaus kissed one of his nipples and gently bit it and licked at it causing Zane to gasp and moan at the action. ~~ -Jonahs and Levins RoomHey Levin. Have you seen my medic kit? Looking at his roommate, he shook his head. Not that I know of. Its possible Klaus might have accidentally grabbed it. Agreeing, Jonah laughed and said, Youre probably right. Ill be right back. And with that he left to go get his bag, only to find something else entirely. ~~ Zaniel moaned and breathed out Klaus name. Hearing his name like that, Klaus got more excited and just wanted to rip everything off of Zaniel. Bringing his lips back up, Klaus started a war of tongues as he slowly grinded his hips against Zaniels, resulting both to moan at the pleasure. After a minute or two, Klaus told Zaniel to sit up on the edge of the bed and as instructed he did as Klaus knelt before him and reached for the button of his pants. Slowly, he unzipped Zanes pants and was greeted by a rather eager erection. Blushing, Zaniel closed his eyes as Klaus fully took his erection out and gasped, low and deep, at the touch. Klaus admired Zaniels size and slowly he touched it from the base to the tip, repeating the action a couple of times. Hearing his breathing getting shallow and his face showing the frustration, Klaus grinned as he touched the tip one last time and took the member into his mouth. The warm enveloping his member was new to him and felt weird but good. Leaning his head back, he let Klaus work his way up and down on his erection. A few times, Klaus nipped at it lightly causing him to moan a little too loud but was reassured it was fine. ~~ -HallwayHearing a weird noise Jonah got curious. What was that? What are they doing? Suspicous, Jonah slowly opened the door to Klaus and Zaniels room, which was surprisingly unlocked, only to find them half naked, Klaus on the floor, Zaniel flushed and breathing shallow having oral sex. ~~ Hearing their door open, they realized their mistake, leaving it unlocked. Jonah was at the dooway, blushing furiously, trying to say something but was too flushed and shocked. Zaniel to his embarrassment covered himself up and averted eye contact. On the other hand, Klaus was looking at

Jonah, his eyes saying Thanks for interrupting. Cant you see were busy? Now leave. Reading the message in his eyes, Jonah closed the door so fast that the sound reverberated throughout the now silent room. Awkward. Looking at Klaus, he couldnt help but smile and laugh and soon both were laughing till tears came to their eyes. It was one day they would never forget. Remembering where they were, Klaus started to remove the blanket off Zaniel when he was stopped. I think it better if we continue this some other time. I had enough excitement for today and I would like to rest and knowing what just happened, we are in for a interesting dinner he mumbled shyly. Smiling at his companion he agreed and kissed his forehead. Kay. Lets shower and nap before dinner then. Separately? Why did you want to join me? he slyly grinned. No, I was simply. He started to say stumbled and again he was cut off as Klaus grabbed his hand and led him to the bathroom. Come on. Dont be shy. Times wasting the older boy sang. Shaking his head, he knew he had no chance of escaping now and with that Klaus closed the door to their bathroom as Zaniel squealed at what Klaus did that will be left to people's imagination. ~~ -Levin' and Jonah's RoomBack to his room, he closed their door and leaned against it. He couldn't believe what he just saw and come dinner, things are about to get interesting. "Hey, you okay? You look shocked or something? Did something happen?", Levin asked, "Where's the bag?" "You have no idea" Jonah replied not hearing the rest of his sentence. Reply to This

Delete "Knock knock, boys." "Hey, Lysander." The young and audacious greeted the roommates and collapsed on the single couch next to the bed. "Naimah's finally waking up from that nap of her's. I think its time for us to get a little something to eat." Levin nodded his head in agreement whereas Jonah kept hushed. This didn't go unnoticed. "... Jonah, what's up with that look? You look like you either saw something supernatural." Jonah shrugged, "I probably did." "All he did was going into the other room." Levin mentioned. "So what happened anyway? Did Klaus find that kit for you?" No, no the subject wouldn't go away. Jonah answered a little too quickly, "He said he would find it later after his shower." "Oh, speaking of the other two, I should let them know we're going out to dinner." Lysander chimed in, taking her stand from the couch and making her way to the door. The memoirs of the all too recent event flashed in Jonah's mind. "L--Lysander, I don't think that's a good idea.", he stuttered. Lysander looked back, "and why not? It's only them. What are they doing? Having sex?" SHE KNOWS SOMETHING! Levin stepped in, "Funny. No it's improper for a young lady to be walking into a man's bedroom like so." his comment gave him a sock in the gut. "And yet you allow me to walk into yours'? Don't be hypocrites, men." She sneered. "Hn-- Can't you take a joke? You knocked--." Levin manage to grumble. "So? I'll knock at their door too. It's not the first time I've seen Klaus shirtless." With that conclusion, Lysander made her way out the door and to the room next door. Jonah and Levin followed her as she knocked. "Hey guys, dinner. Get out!" She called. Jonah sighed in relief. Lysander will be Lysander. "--Or else I'm coming in and dragging you all out." Both men sighed this time. Lysander will ALWAYS be Lysander. Naimah approached the group smoothly yawning along the way. "What's going on here? You're being so noisy..." she mumbled sleepily. The door separating the group from the private room creaked open and they were greeted by a freshly showered man in a towel. "-- What?" "Get dressed." Lysander commanded.

"She said we're going out for dinner." Klaus' eyes traveled from his sisters, to Levin's, then at Jonah. The stare sent a chill up the other specialist's spine. It could seem like a regular Klaus glance, but there was an underlying darkness to it. It screamed many questions and many, many threats. The dampened man exhaled and smiled. "Let me get dressed at least." He finally said closing the door. The group stood quietly for a small ten seconds when the door opened again revealing Zaniel this time. "I have come to keep you all company." He smiled. Naimah looked up her significant other. "... Jonah, you look pale. Are you okay." "I just need to some food." which was a verbal cover for, "... -- What?" Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Faith ~Sola Fide~ on January 30, 2010 at 2:44am Send Message Delete Ten minutes... stretched to 15 minutes... stretched to 25... Silence was not a good way to eat dinner. A tense mood of awkwardness filled the table in the restaurant. One person would look at another, who would look at another, and the eyes would continue traveling. The only ones who's eyes constantly did this, were that of Jonah's, Klaus, and Lysander. Zaniel and Levin ate their meals in their usual formal state, and Naimah was simply too tired to care at all. Palms hit the table, "That's it. What's up?" Lysander's sudden outburst seemed like more of an order. "We're eating." Levin casually responded. Lysander shook her head. "No, this is too weird. At least a few of us would be getting into some kind of topic here. Theres six of us here, for pete's sake." Her head then jerked at Jonah's direction. "You," she began with a dark and devilish tone. "Let's begin with you. You, Jonah, have been acting weird since I called you guys for dinner." She arose from her seat and made her way across the table and leaned over the man she accused for who knows what. "Would you like to let us in on your inner thoughts perhaps?" .... What is this woman? Interrogating me!? "I don't know anything, and you haven't given me my rights yet, detective." He answered sarcastically. Lysander scowled at his answer and rested her arms in a hold at the rest at her back. She walked in back to her seat, but stopped behind Levin's chair. "Perhaps you, Mister Composed, know a thing or two." she whispered near his ear. The man swallowed the steak he feasted on and flatly replied, "All I know is that Jonah went into Klaus' room for a medical kit. Don't harass me while I'm eating."

All pupils (with the exception of Zaniel, who merely glanced), were set on Jonah. "... Ask Klaus." Now all eyes were set on Klaus. "Look, don't be mad because you lost your kit." And then they were back on Jonah. "That kit is important to me, Klaus. All of my supplies are in there." Then, back to Klaus. "I looked long and hard for the damn thing, give me my props." Again, to Jonah, so seemingly had a twitch in his left eye. "Oh, I know you looked long and hard." "So that sight doesn't impress you?" "... Jonah, are you okay? You're turning red." "I-- I'm fine, Naimah." Klaus smirked. "What? The sensation of an intense battle getting to your head, Jo? No wonder your a medic." "Please, let the conversation be," Zaniel interrupted, "the length of this conversation is a bit much." "Oh, of course! Jonah couldn't possibly handle such lengths." Klaus sarcastically teased again. "I can't handle any length of anything you throw at me." Jonah cringed at his words "seven." Jonah's eye began twitching again. Zaniel chewed on his meal silently before assuring the two bickering men. "The other members is this group would not appreciate such discussions. Again, please leave it." Klaus smiled back at Zaniel. "Oh I don't think the other members mind Zaniel. Its about time Jonah and I delve into a long, hard, and deep conversation. I mean, nothing comes smoothly; but in the end, the feeling is good." It really did seem like Jonah was going to have a spasm.

"At least, with out any interruptions." There was a noticeable twitch in the corner of Jonah's lip. Alcander, Lysander, and Naimah looked at the other three with unexplainable looks on their faces... Though, Naimah was simply tired so it couldn't be interpreted properly. "... Eating in silence wasn't such a bad idea." Lysander quickly said. Alcander just sliced another piece of meat. "I really need to get better sleep." Naimah mumbled. For the remainder of the evening, dinner was eaten in the silence that began the entire long, hard, and deep conversation. Reply to This

Sven was blushing but not because kyo had kissed him but because he liked it. kyo looked deeply into Sven eyes and Sven answered with a single action he pulled kyo back to him and started to kiss him, first just a peck then a little longer then a little deeper finally they just went for it, their tongues were playing around and around darting any which way possible. They were getting really into it and finally kyo decided to start taking things farther, he kissed Sven face and then his neck, he was kissing all around his neck and then he started biting "Ahh kyo dont be such a tease uunless you plan on taking this to the next level....." Kyo made him eat his words and his hand reached down Sven pants only to find that Sven must have really been enjoying him self.

Delete Time: December 18, 2029. 2113 Location: Western State. Levis City. Hotel. The night grew long and they made no progress. Tired and exhausted, the group collectively went into their own rooms. As their door closed, Klaus wrapped his arms around Zaniels torso and whispered into his ears. Hey he mumbled into his ears, wanna take a bath? Zaniel thought for a minute and replied, maybe?", smiling. Hmm. Is that a yes? he asked hopeful. Without a reply, Zaniel went into the bathroom and as an invitation, Klaus followed. The water running, steam filled the room and slowly, they both undressed, leaving their clothes where they shed it. Covered by the steam, Zaniel reached for the lavender bath liquid, pouring it into the rising water. Soon the bathtub was filled with water, and slowly, both descended into the embrace of the bath

water. They sat in the opposite sides of the tub for a while, letting the heat envelop them and unwound their muscles. As silence filled the bathroom, Klaus looked at Zaniel as he made some of the water float into little orbs. Noticing he was being watched, Zaniel glanced at his audience and half smiled. He blushed at the attention and returning the favor, he slowly approached Klaus, making little waves ripple the calm water. Surprised by Zaniels straightforward action, Klaus smiled to himself and offered his hand as he gently pulled Zaniel toward him, their bodies touching. Zaniel gasped and blushed as he felt his skin touching Klaus but the real reason was he felt something poke him in the back as he sat in Klaus lap. Amused at Zaniels innocent reaction, he brushed his hand against his cheek as Zaniel whispered something. May I kiss you? he almost asked with no voice. Smiling, Klaus leaned over and gently, he placed his lips over Zaniels and began to nibble on his lower lip. His hands roaming, Klaus settled on Zaniels rear and started rubbing his hole with his finger. Is this alright? Speechless, Zaniel nodded as he asked for entrance into Klaus mouth. As their tongue battled for dominance, Klaus slowly entered one finger, making Zaniel wrapped his arms around him. Sensing no disapproval, he continued and slowly pressed farther in and slowly took it out. Sighing breathily, he concentrated at kissing Klaus. Reply to This

Delete At ease, Zaniel told Klaus to go further, and complying with the request, he added two more fingers, slowly pushing them in and scissoring and stretching Zaniel out. Hitting a certain spot, the younger male jolted weakly and moaned at the touch. To distract himself, Zaniel roamed his partners body with his hands and traced the lines carved into them while licking and occasionally biting his collarbone. Going down further, his hands ended at Klaus member, making the older boy groan at his touch. Smiling, he slowly pumped his erection, mesmerized at its length. The bathroom was now only filled with moaning and panting as they both pleasured each other. Klaus at his limit removed his fingers, much to Zaniels displeasure, and slowly guided the youngers hip toward his pleading erection. Is it okay? he voiced out mellifluously, I want you so bad. His voice wearing lust in them. Flushed and aroused himself, Zaniel replied gently but firm, I am ready. His lips forming those words on Klaus skin. Take me. Nodding, Klaus slowly pushed Zaniel down on his hardened shaft and was surprised at the fluid motion of it. Little effort that was taken and he were all the way in. The bath water has made it slicker and easier for Zaniel, making no at little pain at all. Zaniel moaned, loudly and deep, at the intrusion, muscles tightening all over his body. Feeling his body go tight, Klaus calmed him down.Shhhh. Its okay. Klaus murmured caringly, Itll soon feel good. Relax. Bit by bit, he loosened up and was winded down by Klaus assurance. Taking time to get used to the penetration, he glanced at Klaus and kissed him. Once again, their tongues battled for control and while doing that, Klaus mumbled into their kiss, Just tell me when you want me to move. Ill wait. Happy by his patience, he broke off their kiss and whispered rather huskily near Klaus ears just one word, Go. And leisurely, Klaus started to move and both moaned in bliss. Wrapping his arms once again around Klaus neck, he leaned in for a kiss as Klaus moved in and out at a steady pace. Holding Zaniel, Klaus took one of his hands and grabbed Zaniels ignored erection and started pumping it in rhythm with his movements. Zaniel tightened up and made the Klaus groan at the feeling. ..Youre so tight. he breathed out heavily, .you feel so good Breathless, Zaniel whimpered and panting said, ..Feels.so. good.FasterHarderPlease.. He clutched Klaus, lust overtaking him, practically begging him, surprising and turning Klaus on more. Then the water evaporated before his eyes, and saw what Zaniel wanted. Laying him down on his back, Klaus entered him again, this time faster and harder, making the snowed hair boy moan loudly, making him groan deeply. He was close he can feel it. A little more, just a little faster and harder. Both

moaning in sync, Klaus panting; he took Zaniels member again and jerked him in rhythm. .Im going to come. What should I do? .Inside.Donot.worry.Itisfine. Zaniel managed to answer between moans. Feeling Zaniel tighten up, Klaus knew he was close too. A few seconds. Faster and harder. A few more jerks, Zaniel came and tightening around his member, Klaus released inside him, both moaning in satisfaction. Panting, Klaus collapsed on top of Zaniel, and kissed his forehead. He grinned at Klaus, a sight not many sees; a grin just between them and no one else. Pulling out of him, Klaus sat and grabbed Zaniel, making him seat on his lap and opened the shower. Both still breathing hardly, both sat under the warm fall of the water, rinsing them off of soap, sweat, and bodily fluids. Cant help dozing off, Zaniel fell asleep in Klaus arms and tired himself, Klaus dried Zaniel off first and then himself, and dressed both themselves in boxers. Carrying him bridal style, he brought Zaniel to the bed and tucked him in. He lay next to him as he pulled the comforter over them and wrapped his arms around the younger boy, kissing him one last time before falling asleep. Reply to This

[This is Jas using Faith's Computer] Everyone got ready to meet downstairs to go to breakfast the red and blue haired girl got down first followed by the black and blue haired girl and then everyone else. "Why hello everyone." Naimah says as she stretches. "Good morning Naimah." Zaniel says smiling. "So how is everyone feeling this morning?" Klaus says looking at everyone. "Good." Jonah says mid yawn. After everyone said their hellos they all head for the door and out to the restaurant nearby. Naimah starts to slow down and stays in the back of the group. Lysander notices this and starts to walk slower as well and ask her what's up. "Naimah what is it?" "Does anyone else notice that Zaniel isn't walking like he usually does?" Naimah says pointing to the front of the group. Lysander looks forward to see the snow haired boy walking less...proper than he usually does. All of sudden she sees Naimah speed up her pace to catch up to Zane. "Why I am fine Naimah..why do you ask?" Zaniel say blushing.

Lysander commented along, "Yet, we couldn't help but notice..." "--that you look... uncomfortable." Jonah finished her sentence with a sneer. "I assure you." Zaniel pleaded, "I feel absolutely f--" "I THINK WE SHOULD CHOP CHOP TO BREAKFAST IF WE WANT TO GET TO A NICE RESTAURANT!" The questioning eyes of the group fixated on the two. Klaus sped Zaniel ahead as quickly as he could pushing the younger to his pains. "Oh Zane!" Klaus began, seeming 'shocked'. "You do seem like your in a bit of pain." He said aloud, but winking at the man in front of him. This made Zaniel blush more. To the 'couple's' benefit, Klaus was a taller man and his back covered both his wink and Zaniel's blush. Klaus continued with playful

questions, "What happened? Did you fall off the bed or something?" Zaniel saw Klaus' attempt to save him and nodded, "Ah. Yes... That would be a logical explanation." Klaus' concerned smile grew to his usual silly one as he turned to their fellow friends. "GUYS! ITS ALL GOOD!" He called out, "HE JUST FELL OFF THE BED THIS MORNING! IT'S TAKING A TOLL ON HIS BODY!" Ooh's and Ah's were the response. The group nodded, but some were still skeptical. "Why don't you help him out a bit!?" Jonah called back. "THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA JONAH!" Zaniel noticed a wider, darkened smile forming on the lips of the brunette... It was directed at him.... In flat seconds, Zaniel was lifted off the ground and on the right shoulder of the older man.

Waking up early, Zaniel looked outside the window only to be surprised by the sight. Snow. Snow had fallen again and this time stuck and piled up. Taking a quick shower, he got dressed in black pants, a white turtle neck, and a coat. Closing the door slowly, he grabbed his scarf and headed for the elevator only to be stopped by Levin, running towards him. Good morning, Zaniel. Going somewhere? he asked smiling. Would you like to accompany me? I was just going to go out and shop. Zaniel replied. Christmas is soon to arrive and I was thinking of getting a few things. So, what do you say? Pushing the main floor button, Levin responded, I was thinking the same thought but before we do that, let us get some breakfast as the door closed.

head in approval. "I have heard the same promotions." The cafe' in the inside supported what the sign outside attempted to conveyed. It was spacious enough for a private chat, yet not so that it would feel empty. The two were greeted by the brunette with blond highlights that worked behind the counter. The barista, of course. "Ey! Haven't seen you guys around here!" the man began with a sweet smile. "Yes. We're tourists." responded Levin while Zaniel skimmed the menu. "Well that's a bit blunt. Which state are you from?" "The Northern." "That's not too far off." shrugged the man. "So, what can I get for you this lovely winter morning?" "I presume you make the classics? White Chocolate Mocha, if you would? Ah, and skim milk." "I will have a Caramel Frappuchino." The barista typed in the order onto his electronic pad and smiled again at the two. "Well, I'll call you up for your coffee. Oh and if you guys want anything else, call me or my staff. My name's Mace." He waved at the customers and made his way toward the back for whatever reason. The two took a seat near the window. "So, Klaus..." started Levin facing the people on the streets, but his eyes on the snow haired male. He happened to instantly blush. "Yes, Klaus..." "Well it seems to be obvious that there's something more between you two, but I'm only confirming suspicions." The incognito noble was now directly facing Zane with a small curve on his lips. "You're quite blunt about this aren't you?" "What is there to hide?" "..." "So how deep does the rabbit hole go?" asked Levin. Though the earlier comment had stated privacy wasn't too much of an issue, it wasn't known who'd be listening on what conversation. Whatever the case, Levin's question had sent Zaniel deeper into his thought filled mind... Was it a relationship?... They trusted each other, yes; and the passion they had when they made love was that of lovers... But even as the pieces seemed to fit, Zaniel couldn't put his finger on that title... Yes, it was that unnamed title. No words could describe them. More than friends at the least... It was a bond. Levin nodded his head at the unspoken thoughts. "If you can't put a title on it, I can tell what it is." Zane looked up at the midnight locked friend in front of him and shyly smiled. That marked another

one down on his 'who knows' list. It didn't seem much of a secret, but it was a secret at the same time... Speaking of secrets... "Levin, have you heard the saying, 'an eye for an eye'?" "Of course, the term is infamous." "..." "And what might you be getting at, Mister Zaniel Valentine Adair?" Zaniel slowly folded his hands under his chin and tilted his head to the side, as if closely examining a specimen. "It occurred to me. You know much about us, but we're only aware of vague details concerning you." "I'm not much of an outgoing person." "Sir, I do think I would call that a bluff." The two chuckled lightly and excused himself from the table to find a local paper. He ran into Mace. "Oh yeah, the paper's over there." He motioned toward a small stack in the corner. "Don't understand what you want a paper for, when all information is received electronically." The barista shrugged handed a drink Zane and when to their table to give Levin his. Zaniel made his way over to the small stack of papers and glanced over. The date was from a long time back; nearly a year. Regardless, the NS tourist picked up the stack of papers and skimmed over them while occasionally sipping his Caramel drink. "Weather, Sports, these are out of order." He mumbled searching for the front page. A surprise had hit him when he finally found it... His eyes widened. MISSING: Southern State Noble, Alcander Felix Levin Joss Varian de Adir VII Fifteen days ago, the son of Vladamir Ceasar Cage Lenin Adir, Commander General of the Southern State, was reported missing. Age, Twenty. Height, 5'10. According to self-proclaimed eyewitnesses, the younger heir was found with a fugitive; a man with medium long brunette hair. If you have seen either of these men, you are requested to alert the authorities immediately. Alcander de Adir is the fifth child amongst ten children...

Zaniel stopped mid sentence and glanced at the Levin enjoying his coffee... In the article, there were two pictures. One of Klaus and another of him... The younger male made his way back to the table. Levin greeted him again, having his eyes down at the coffee mug. "Care to join, me for the rest of our coffee, Zaniel?" Levin asked casually. "Of course... Alcander." Blue eyes shot up as quickly as the speed of light. Zaniel gently placed the paper on the table with the front page in full view... "If you are not an outgoing person, 'Levin'." said Zane, sitting himself back down and folding his hands

into their former position before he left, "then this may be a good time for you to become a social butterfly." "I-- Uh--" "After all, we are all getting to know each other." Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Faith ~Sola Fide~ on February 3, 2010 at 3:23am Send Message Delete "Somehow, I had suspicions about this particular topic coming back to haunt me..." said Alcander massaging the back of his neck. A few things seemed to change in Southern State Native since the direction of the conversation was now focus on the open secret. His casual posture was now perfectly straight and even his hair was becoming less disheveled. Was that possible? His speech was more formal, not that it wasn't before, but it was 'strictly' formal. It was becoming much like Zaniel's daily speech and the speech Alcander had when he first met the group. The two kept silent for a very short amount of time before Zaniel decided to break the silence. "As you know," he began, "I do not typically lead the conversation. This case, though, it apart from typical. So if you would, please, defend yourself." His voice hid nothing short of austere. Let the interrogation begin. "You may start with your name. It is only formal that 'strangers' begin with their name." Well, doesn't trust fade fast? 'Levin' took a deep sigh, and initiated his long explanation. "My name is Alcander Felix Levin Joss Varian de Adir the VII. I am the fifth son of Vladamir Ceasar Cage Lenin Adir; also known as the Commander General of the Southern State." He cringed at the following statement, "-- The leader of the enemy of the Northern State." The other formal gentleman noticed the pain in his interrogatee's eyes and he said the last statement. It made him loosen in his offense, but only a bit. "Now that we are done with the introductions, Le-Alcander. It would be in both of our favors if you explained this situation... in the fullest of details; if that is not much of a hassle." Alcander took another deep breath. "Klaus was a prisoner at a ward in Illumini where I lived." Zaniel shifted into a more comfortable position before the other continued. "When I was fifteen, my father brought my over to the prison and I met Klaus there. I think in a way we had saved each other's lives that day. Whatever the heroic deed, that didn't make him any more than scum in my father's eyes. So I resorted to visiting the prisoner myself, without any of my siblings knowing." He paused awaiting some

sort of reaction from the male witch, then continued when he received only silence. "Five years later, the date of Klaus' execution was nearing. I continued to discuss with Klaus the topic of escaping. He is a stubborn man, you know?" This made both men laugh lightly. "One of the gatherings, father announced that Klaus would be executed the following morning at national parade as a symbol to the Northern State who they were messing with. The night before, I helped him escape... along with myself." Two eyes met another two as Levin continued to plead his case. "I could not stay there. Word would have gotten out that I helped Klaus escape and who knows what would happen then. With that said, I could not possibly allow myself to go anywhere else. I'm not familiar with international affairs when it comes to the citizens. And I doubt the citizens would want to interact with the son of ... a murderer. So, I set up this facade. This mask. In this way, I could become a new person. It seems like a pitiful man's bluff, Zaniel. I assure you, I mean this." A long pause set between the two. Levin who switched back to being Alcander awaited for Zaniel to take in what he had just heard. Zaniel was a reasonable man. Alcander prayed that he wouldn't tell the others, for the sake of his life, but Zaniel was also an overall honest man. The younger man shifted in his seat again, taking on a slightly casual position. "This will not set well with the others, besides Klaus." "I'm already in too far as it is." "Klaus can defend you." "Yes, but sometimes words alone do not cover a full year of lies." "..." "Zaniel, please..." The named, smiled. "Well, to say something on your part, I feel honored that you would at least tell me in truth. Besides this blemish, you are a good hearted man." Alcander blinked in confusion. "... You can trust me so easily after this..." Zaniel stood from his seat. "Well, not exactly. On the part of 'our' friends, I can not help but feel only a bit offended you would keep something." Alcander's eyes fell a bit, but Zaniel continued, "I do not tend to act on emotion alone, though. Rationally speaking, what you did for Klaus was noble. If you were under the influence of your father, our heads would've been taken a long time ago. Maturity comes with a mind of its own." The two formal men smiled at each other. Not sarcastically, not goofy, not fake. The smile was genuine. "I think we should go along with our plans for the day. Shall we?" Zaniel asked extending out a hand to help the other to his feet. "... Yes, that sounds fun." Alcander responded taking the hand then dusting himself. He went to the blond and brunette barista and paid him his due.

"Have a good day guys!" Mace called out from behind the counter as the two walked out into the comforting chill of the morning. Reply to This

Permalink Reply by LC Thomas Tristian Lagman on February 3, 2010 at 3:45pm Delete Walking for a bit around the town square, a small store had caught Zaniels eyes. In its window, a black double breasted pea-coat lined with silver was displayed. Following the gaze of his companion, Alcander saw the coat and smiled. Beautiful coat. Thinking of getting it for a certain someone? he hinted. A blush spreading across his face, which is an often thing whenever Klaus was involved, Zaniel nodded and sighed mirthfully. Do you mind if I go in? Would you like to go too? Shaking his head, Alcander had another thing in mind. Thanks for the offer but I saw this store just a block away when we were just observing and I kind of want to try that one. If its alright? Ah. Did you see something you liked there? Not really but it interested me and if I get lucky, Ill have something to get everyone. He replied. So, lets meet at the coffee house around, say 11? Laughing lightly, Zaniel agreed and watched as he walked off the direction they came from. Not seeing him anymore, he turned around and opened the door, the bells chiming like a harp. Good morning! The cashier brightly greeted him. Zaniel nodded in response as he smiled and explored the store by eye. Again, his eyes were captured by the same coat on the display window, black; silver lined. Ambling towards the shelf it was in, he realized it was way far up. Turning around to ask for help, he saw that the cashier was not in front. But to his luck, a ladder was near and grabbing it, he positioned it right in the center of where the coat was. Carefully climbing the ladder, he reached the top and moved forward to grab the coat. His fingers touched the fabric but he was still a little off to get it safely. Curious, he looked down and saw that the ladder was a bit far from the shelf. Chuckling to himself, he went down the ladder only to accidentally slip off of one of the footings. The next thing he knows, he was falling, fast, headed towards the hard floors backwards. Browsing in his head, he couldnt think of a quick enough spell to cushion his fall. To lessen his injuries, he braced for impact. It seemed forever before he landed on something. But grateful, gravity has done its job and

he has stopped falling. It felt soft, the thing he landed on. Maybe it was some clothes that fell with him. But why did it feel warm? Opening his eyes, he saw that he was in someones arms. Eyes adjusting to the light, he saw Alcander looking at him worried but something was different. Levin? What are you doing here? blinking at the named. The Alcander look-a-like, expressed amusement with a look of What are you talking about? and as he looked at the young male in his arms, he smiled and said, You know, you should be more careful. If I wasnt there to catch you, youd ruin your beautiful face. Zaniel reddening at his clumsiness, started to thank the obviously older male when he just realized what was said to him. Beautiful? What did he mean? Shrugging it off as just a compliment, he finally thanked the guy but remembered one small detail. He was still hoisted up, bridal style. Looking at his savoir, Zaniel whispered UhmmYou can put me down now, with an obvious blush. Laughing melodiously, the look-a-like carried him for a few more seconds then finally set him down.

Stammering, still shell shocked from the event, Zaniel pointed out the black coat, a blush starting to appear on his face. Looking at him, Paige grinned and said I see we have good taste here. Is it for you or your boyfriend? Surprised at what he said, Zaniel mumbled and told him it was for a friend. Leaving the question be, Paige introduced himself, Oh where are my manners. I have not introduced myself properly. My names Paige Vittoria holding out his hand towards Zaniel. Taking his hand, he felt something course through it, electricity like, but mentally shrugging it off, he shook Paiges hand and introduced himself in return. Zaniel Valentine Adair. It is pleasant to meet you. And I am in your debt for saving me.

Chuckling, Paige waved his hand, saying Its no big deal. Then, a dangerous grin gracing his lips, he stood closer to Zaniel, so close that he felt the aura emitting from the white haired male. But if you insist, how bout a date, Valentine? Paige whispered so low and silkily, that Zaniel had to get closer, feeling his breath on his face, minty and fruity. Flushed, Zaniel started to open his mouth when the cashier attendant returned and yelled across the room with a joking tone, Vittoria! Stop flirting and teasing every cute guy you see. Youll scare away my costumers. Laughing musically, he feigned a hurt look and said, Me? Scare them away?! his hand on his forehead, You have no trust in me. He acted dramatically with a big smirk on his face. Amused by the sight, Zaniel couldnt but help smile and laugh. Heads turning toward him, he smiled sheepishly and said I am sorry for the trouble I have caused, he started but was cut off as Paige said Hey, no need to apologize. And do you always speak so formally? he laughed amused. Climbing up the ladder, Paige took the coat, descended and gently placed it Zaniels arms. Hes a lucky friend, you have great taste. And if you change your mind? Youll know where to find me. He stated with a wink and with that he left to help another customer. Shaking his head, he quietly laughed to himself, and headed towards the cashier. This will be all. Warmly smiling at Zaniel, the cashier apologized for Paiges behavior. Dont mind him. Hes just that kind of guy. Loose and always happy. But he is a customers favorite. Especially fashion wise. Scanning the price tag, the cashier asked, Would you like it to be wrapped? Ill happily do it. Oh. That would be great. I would appreciate it. Zaniel replied earning him a hearty laugh. Did I say something funny? he asked confused. The cashier looking at him, he laughed again and responded, Its just that Paige is right. You talk so formally, like youre in a meeting. Realizing it, Zaniel chuckled and remembered all the times people have told him that. It is a habit, I presume he said lightly. Done. The cashier said excitedly, gently placing the box in front of Zaniel. So what do you think? Examining the box, it was covered with black, and nicely, silver ribbons adorned the edges and the center of it. Beautiful Zaniel exclaimed in a whisper, amazed. The cashier hearing that, lightly blushed at the complement and placed the box in bag as he told Zaniel the total and took the money given to him. Well heres your change. Thanks for shopping in our humble store. Come back again and have a happy holiday. He recited sounding rehearsed but sincerely and happily. As he was about to leave, the cashier remembered something. Oh, yeah. How could I forget? he mumbled amusingly, handing Zaniel a leaflet. It is a Levis City tradition. You havent experienced this city without going to one of our famous festivals. You should consider it. The whole city celebrates. He explained with enthusiasm and excitement in his voice. Nodding his head, he placed the leaflet carefully in the bag and thanked the cashier employee. Saying

his goodbyes, he closed his coat and headed outside into the bright city and met up with Alcander, reminding him of Paige, and continued their shopping errand until dusk had fallen. Reply to This

"So you bought the pea coat after all? Klaus would love it." Zaniel, as usual, blushed at the mention of the older man, but not as red. "Yes, did you get the gifts you wanted, -- Alcander?" he asked emphasizing the name. The midnight locked male eyed all the gift wrapped boxes in the bags he held, "Well I can not say I luck was not on my side." he said with a small smile. It reminded Zaniel of the employee in the shop. Both really did look a like. The hair style was undoubtably similar with slight differences. The same blue eyes as well. If anything different was the personality, therefore they weren't the same person. Then it hit him. "Welcome to the Northern State, Specialist Vittoria..." Oh where are my manners. I have not introduced myself properly. My names Paige Vittoria

That couldn't be coincidence!! "Pardon the silence, Alcander. I have a few more questions." "Hmm?" "How many siblings do you have?" "Nine others, what brings this?" "Well I was thinking as I was being assisted in the shop. By chance, do you have a tw--" "THERE YOU ARE!!!!" Lysander and Naimah stood before the men in front of the building with concerned and annoyed expressions on their faces. "You could at the least let us know if you both were going on an outing." Naimah scolded. Lysander joined in, "Yeah Klaus and Jonah went out looking for you guys just about ten minutes ago!" The males simply shrugged and floated past them. "Doesn't that destroy the purpose of gift shopping? I do think so." questioned Alcander sarcastically. "Why I do believe it does as well." agreed Zaniel. Soon after the group had been joined together around the table Jonah and 'Levin's' room enjoying their evening meals. It was then that Naimah noticed the flier near Zaniel. "What's that?" She asked reaching over. "... A ball?" "The cashier invited me to the gathering. It is an annual sort." he answered cooly Naimah nodded then read the paper in full. Her eyes widened with excitement. She stuttered, "... A-- ... Masquerade!? ... WITH COSTUMES!?!!!??!" Lysander rolled her eyes. "You've got her started." Naimah glared at the girl and continued in enthusiasm. "We should go!! It would be so much fun! EVERYONE WILL BE THERE!!!!" Klaus chuckled, "Anyone that's anyone." "Right! Anyone that's anyone." Jonah grinned at the thought of him and Naimah dancing in the moonlight. "Okay, I'm in." Lysander sighed and smiled along. "Take pictures, I'll generate a bazooka and launch you all into oblivion."

Levin simply nodded. "Everyone's going to be there!" That included Paige... "... So... Zaniel. You walked in with a lot of stuff." Zaniel followed Jonah's eyes to a certain box sitting near the other bags. "Now who would that one be for?" Jonah playfully asked poking at formal gentleman. Levin and Klaus laughed lightly and continued to chew on their meal while the girls blinked in confusion. Ugh... Reply to This

My darling sister. I have met my soul mate. He dramatically sighed. Smiling at her brothers flamboyancy, Fayme placed the eggs and French toast in the table and sat herself across him. Alecander, you always say that every time you meet someone you fancy. No I dont. And this time its different. I felt it. The chemistry as people called them. And may I ask what this chemistry you speak of is? Fayme asked to humor him. Noticing her tone, Alecander replied, Dont try to humor me Fay. He chuckled, It was magical. The meeting, the touch of his skin, the electricity. Sighing in defeat, which is every time Alec crushes on someone, she laughed lightly and said, Of course it was Alec. Now lets eat. We have work to do. Agreeing, Alec started to eat when he remembered something. You know, it was weird when I caught him. He called me Levin. He pointed out. I am sure it was a mistake. Fayme assured him, He was probably shocked or something. No, no, thats not it. He was sure I was this Levin. He even asked me what I was doing in the store. Meaning they just parted ways not long ago. Oh, Alec, you are thinking too much into it. She started. There is no way Alcander is in this town. I mean what a coincidence that will be. Fayme there are no such things as coincidences. There is only the inevitable. He stated darkly which made Fayme laugh. Really Alec, you are too dramatic sometimes. Im done. Lets go. Beaming at her, Alecander playfully said, But Im not finished yet. He pouted. Not my fault, Alec. Come on. Just grab a toast. And he did. Walking down the apartment, Alec thought of two things; Alcander and Valentine as he like to call him. ~~ Somewhere in town, Alcander and Zaniel both sneezed at the same time. Concerned, Klaus asked, Are you alright, Zane? earning him gazes from the others, And of course, Levin? he added. I am fine. Zaniel replied with a blush coming on. Thanks for asking. Alcander said with a smirk. Youre welcome. Klaus glared with smile, resulting the three to laugh among themselves.

Lysander looked behind her looking at the simple black dress. "Only black? Seems dark." "You're only into bright colors." "No I'm not!" The red head smiled and dug even further into the clothing rack. Lysander dug along with her. "What are we looking for?" "I don't know what you're looking for, Ly, but I'm looking for the complimentary piece." "That would be..." Naimah drew her hand out from the hanger, "This." she stated flatly. She held a velvet violet sleeved cape with a hood the cut off just below the shoulders. "Charming" Lysander applauded the fabric. Elsewhere in the shop, the boys we're having their own feats to overcome when it came to wardrobe shopping. "Top hat?" "Not meant for you, Klaus."

"But it makes me look sophisticated!" Klaus said as began striking poses at the mirror. The other three rolled their eyes. Levin took the hat from his companion and tossed it over to Zaniel. "On the contrary. The hat makes him look sophisticated. While you on the other hand look like a complete imbecile." Klaus gloomed in the corner of the room. With compassion, Zaniel handed him a bowler hat. "If you prefer hats, Klaus, this would make you look dashing." He smiled meekly and blushed furiously when Jonah and Levin 'awed' in the background. "I'm going to look in another part of the store." Lysander said as she walked from the area Naimah found her dress. -"Pink suits you, dear sister. Always remember that." Alec complimented as Fayme spun slowly having him examine the dress. "Ah you think so? I think there's a smaller one of this." the silver cut genius went back into the dressing rooms to undress and locomoted to the other dresses where she bumped into a certain red head and sent both crashing to the ground. "Oh I'm sorry." the red head apologized feeling around for her hood. "It's quite alright," replied Fayme. "It's my fault." "Haha No way. It just happens." the red head assured. The two girls helped each other up and went their separate ways. -"Hey Levin." Alecander turned around quickly to see a young lady bent over searching one of the large baskets filled with dresses. "Have you found your suit yet?" "Levin?" Alecander blinked at the young woman. "I--" Her back straightened and faced the man, "Hey that looks nice on you." She said referring to the light blue apparel he was modeling. She began to walk off, "Well I'm gonna keep looking for my dress. See you later." "... Who is this Levin?" -Later in the hour, Klaus was browsing the shoe department when a vaguely familiar person showed up from a distance. Klaus quickly turned his head as she was speaking to one of the employees. "Here are the heels you wanted, miss. Enjoy." stated the employee. "Thank you." Klaus usually approached random women for... pleasure, but this was a different case. He began to follow the girl around the store speeding his steps in order to catch up to her, but lost her the moment

she turned a corner. "... Do young ladies usually have silver hair?" -"Hey, Levin." greeted a boy with white eyes. Alecander by this point decided to go along with the game and greeted back. "Hello." Alas, the male just walked away. Alecander sighed and made his way out the store entrance. -Alcander was walking out of one of the dressing rooms when he noticed a female paying for her dress. He didn't take much notice until he made his way to another angle and looked again. He noticed a familiar hair color. "No, it couldn't be. It would be an elderly woman of course." but he reconsidered his thoughts when he heard the woman speak. He sped over to the cash register but found no woman there. -The remainder of the day the 'tourists' searched for their ideal costumes. Reply to This

She answered the door to find the CG standing outside, his hand in the air as if he was going to knock on the door again. "CG? What are you doing here if I might ask, sir? It's 2 in the morning." Sofiel said in a startled voice. "I have news that is too important to wait Sofiel, and I apologize for the late arrival but it only just came in. It's quite cold out here, by the way, may I come in?" "Oh, yes of course do come in sir." Sofiel opened the door wider and accepted the CG into her home. She put on a bath robe as the CG seated himself on her couch. Sofiel sat in the chair that was across from him and waited for him to

continue. "Before I tell you this Sofiel," the CG began, "you have to know that we only have a general location, not a direct address or even a city." Sofiel looked at him confused, "What exactly are we talking about here sir?" The CG took a deep breath before letting it all out. "We found him Sofiel, we found Inigo Montoya. He's in the Eastern State, but that's all we know right now." Sofiel's mouth hung open as she heard this news. She tried to say something but the CG held up his hand. "You have to understand, I am only telling you this because of your history with him. You know he is considered AWOL so you can't get too involved in this. I'm sorry, Sofiel, but that's all I can say." Sofiel nodded and closed her mouth, she looked at the floor a while before speaking. "Thank you for telling me this sir," she says in a whisper, "and I mean no offense but I would appreciate it if you could leave now please.." "I understand, and please believe me when I say that if anything important comes up that I will inform you." He walked to the door, and looked back at the sitting Sofiel. "If you ever want to talk I'm here for you." "Thank you." Sofiel says as the CG let himself out.

This did not go unnoticed as both Klaus and Zaniel would glance up every so often, just to check if the eyes were still in there same position. They were. Klaus set his utensils atop of the formerly filled plat and wiped his lips of any remaining food. "You know, if you all wanted to stare at us for an hour, you could just take a picture or something." Eye rolling was now a lifestyle. "I mean," Klaus continued flamboyantly, "Zaniel and I can't help that we're so damn sexy." The four pairs of eyes wandered elsewhere to ignore the flamboyancy. 'What is this narcissist?!' --

"I think," Klaus began as he rested his head on arms, "we should go for a walk." Zaniel closed the cover of his spell book and faced his close friend laying on the bed. "And may I ask, what brings about this randomness?" Klaus shrugged at the question and replied, "Well, we just got done eating. You'd think it'd be nice if we just got some exercise. Y'know, burn off some calories." Zaniel chuckled quietly, "Is that all? I would have imagined more reason... 'y'know.'" "Maybe you should stick to your formal accent." "I would have concluded so." -Little did the conversing men knew, the four pairs of eyes that stared at them through dinner were listening in from their designated ...listening ... areas. Lysander and Naimah leaned in and had their ears pressed to the door of Klaus and Zane's room; whereas 'Levin' and Jonah could simply eavesdrop through walls. -"-- Might there be a hidden reason, Klaus?" Zaniel asked dubiously, but with a hint of playfulness. Klaus understood the hint and stood from the bed walking to Zaniel; who in turn, took a few steps backwards. Klaus followed these steps until he had Zane cornered into the wall; but not without tripping over himself. His hands caught his balance onto the wall at either side of Zaniel's head. -thud. "What the hell is going on in there?" Lysander whispered. Naimah's eyes simply grew.

"... Do you get it now?" Jonah quized. Levin, still playing dumb, replied in 'confusion'. "A walk is a walk. You are simply overreacting, Jonah." -Klaus rather than standing back upright, leaned into the younger; close enough so that Zane could feel the heat of breathes embrace his neck. "You know perfectly well, Zane. I wanted to have a little fun with you." the brunette breathed huskily. Zaniel, somehow, managed to force himself out his flustered state of mind in order to give an answer. "Well, I see no harm in that."

-A variety of reactions were displayed upon the four eavesdroppers. "... Th-- Thi-- But.. My brother-- an-- eh--" Lysander stuttered.. "Oh my..." Naimah began... The two looked at each other in startle, then silently fangirled at the thoughts their imaginations created. Meanwhile... "Do you see it now? Do you get what I mean?" Jonah mumbled. He hoped that the other man finally got it through his thick head what he meant. His thoughts were halted when a pair of arms wrapped around his shoulders and ears were engulfed by a warm breath. "Oh Jonah," Levin whispered in the same husky tone as Klaus did with Zane. "What on earth could be wrong with a little male bonding time?" The incognito leaned in closer and breathed slowly, "I've wanted to spend time with you too, you know?" By this time the Medic's own breathing had stopped, perhaps along with his heart beat. "L-- Levin-- G-- Get of m--" "Why?" Levin muttered, "Are you getting dirty thoughts in your head?" Jonah paused, "I mean it... G-- Ge--" Suddenly the pressure on the Medic was released and Levin collapsed on the ground in laughter. "You should have seen your face! Priceless!!" He chortled. Jonah glared at him furiously. "You bastard!" "They aren't doing anything, Jonah." "You don't get it! They are. I'll show you!" "When?" "That walk!" "... You never cease do you?" Reply to This

The air was still crisp and cool, and it clinged to their skin. It gave the perfect opportunity for the two to hold each other as close as reality could let them. The lake near by was as peaceful as doves, practically setting time still. "It is so peaceful... How lovely" Zaniel quietly muttered in his lovers arms as they laid underneath the moonlight. "Peaceful is lovely, yes." Klaus replied softly, "but its serenity could ever compare to the chills you send through my body or the feelings I have every time I see you under me." "Klaus" "I want this moment to last forever..." he hushed sealing their closeness with the touch of lip-... Just kidding. "Wow, who knew Levis city could be so lively!" Klaus exclaimed. He shielded his eyes from the blinding metropolitan lights that lit up the infamous city. Zaniel nodded in agreement. "The city does live up to its name. I have spotted a club on nearly every other block." -Not too far away a small quarrel was taking place. "If you two follow us, they'll eventually sense that we're following them!" "That's horrible logic! Besides, you were the ones following us!" "Regardless, find your own hiding spot." "Make us!" Squished within the alley of two buildings were the four overly meddling friends that really could not leave the topic alone. But the topic had wandered off elsewhere and arguing was getting them no where. -"Take your pick," Klaus gestured at the choices.

It took no time at all for Zaniel to choose. "It would be the park..." The other choices, was the crowded shopping center, and a club. "But..." He took Klaus' hand and led him into an area that wasn't one of the choices. "The book store had caught my eye." -"Klaus, what genre's interest you?" Zaniel asked fingering through the many books along the shelves. The store was divided first by fiction and non-fiction; then by genre; then alphabetical order of authors. The older scratched his head looking at the spines that had some weird color to them. "Uh; I guess most of the books I read were the text books at the academy." He mumbled embarrassingly. "but if I had to chose, probably a plot that's fast paced. I guess I'd go with something ... actiony?" Zaniel snickered at his attempt to find the right word. -"Huh," Jonah looked confused. "I never thought Klaus would be the one to go into a book store." Levin smiled, "Ah, little do you realize Jonah, Klaus has a much more sentimental side to him. Just deep down." "And how would you know how deep it is, Levin?" "What are you trying to say, Jonah?" "Don't think that pass you made at me earlier didn't mean anything." Lysander and Naimah looked shell shocked. "So you are GAY!?" Lysander squeaked. "No! Absolutely not! I am not of that persuasion. Jonah is simply being being odd." Levin frantically assured. Naimah hushed the three of them in order to continue examining the two specimens. -"What are your opinions on romance?" asked Zaniel. "The book or in general?" "Ah, both for a conversation's sake." Klaus pondered to himself on the question. "I'm not sure I can give a complete answer..." He picked up a poetry book and flipped through pages.

"Romance is the book nothing more than a banality '" "Fair enough." "But it can also be a reflection of how the world thinks... The two are intertwined. The concept of each at least." -- Was he attempting to be complex? Really, he found his thoughts to be inconclusive, but it didn't matter. He had some how lured the ivory locked male. Klaus smiled at this, and made his way over to Zaniel; in the same manner he did earlier in the bedroom. -"Wh-- what" "--is he doing?" "I told you!" "..." -"Klaus, is something wrong?" Zaniel asked taking the same steps back. "Of course not." Klaus assured. "Why would anything be wrong?" Without tripping over himself, he purposely cornered Zaniel to the bookshelf. Deja Vu almost...

Everyone; Zaniel, as well as pragmatists behind a bookshelf blinked... Klaus took Zaniel by the hand and lead him away from the shelf. "I'll show you in this isle." He said. -"Follow them!" Jonah and Lysander enthusiastically whisper-shouted. Levin managed to keep both of them behind the shelf they hid behind.

"Honestly you two, this is beginning to become ridiculous." He chastised, "Just give the two their peace and lets go home." Jonah shook his head, "No, I'm hear to prove something to you, Levin." "I get it. I believe it. Let's go." "It doesn't seem like you understand. So I won't have my peace until you do completely!" Levin shook his head. "And what is your excuse?" He asked scanning Lysander. "I might as well be in the dark, but I want to know if what I'm assuming is true. I heard enough from the bedroom, but the meaning to words can be mixed." Levin then turned to Naimah looking for a voice of reason... "Actually, me and Lysander are here to see boys make out." "Naimah!" Jonah nearly cried. "..." "Well..." Lysander began, "... If you guys wanna substitute..." she smiled darkly. "Okay, we're going, but do not make it so that they know we are here... And we leave after five minutes." -The four eased themselves behind another shelf just separating them from the couple in the sitting area; it was close enough like the last one for them to hear. -"Klaus, you do not have to be so forward." "Why not? It didn't bother you when I touched you like this before." -"Please!! Just let us look, Levin?" "No not yet." -"That is -- amazing..." Zaniel breathed out. "Yeah, it gets better."

"Klaus..." "Yes?" "Fast." "Huh?" "You are going too fast." -"Can we see them, NOW!?" "Would y--" "Forget it, I'm looking." -Too much of their disappointment, the view was not of two men making out, but of two men flipping through a book. "... May we help you?" Zaniel questioned innocently. Lysander and Naimah looked stumped, "You two weren't..." Klaus shook his head, "I was showing Zaniel this book dad wrote a long time ago." "What did you think we were doing?" The group stayed guiltily silent... Levin gave an all too revealing facial expression. "Oh, I get it!" Klaused pounded his fist into his hand as if he had a revelation. His pulled Zaniel closer to him. "You guys were thinking something like this?" Jonah stuttered, "... S-- something like that." "Did you want to see something like that?" Klaus asked with a large grin still clinging on to Zaniel. "They did." Levin answered flatly. The other three looked around the room avoiding eye contact. "Well, I don't think little Zane's into public displays of affection," He said squeezing Zaniel's arm, "but I on the other hand..." He tilted Zaniel's chin up leaning in closer. "Don't get mad at me for too long." Klaus whispered before closing the gap between them. Jonah and Levin had slightly horrified expressions while the girls look like they saw a miracle.

Soon after his small butterfly kisses, the brunette begged the younger for a deeper entrance. Tongue penetrated through lips and met another. The tongues danced exploring the other's boundaries and put on a show. Slowly, Klaus pulled back and wiped his lips. "Enjoy that?" The girls nodded frantically. "Good." Klaus said as he helped Zaniel to his feet. "Yes, very good." Levin said sarcastically, "Now I will be taking them home." He muttered dragging a shocked Jonah, and two fazed girls out the door. "You don't hate me for that do you?" Klaus asked, guiltily. "You certainly know how to put on a performance." Zaniel smiled. He handed Klaus the book being shown to him earlier. "Your father has good works." "Yeah... I wonder how Lysander will react." "I think whatever thought she had about it, it would have been overshadowed." "... Yeah..." -"So Levin?" "What..." "Naimah and I were wondering..." Levin glanced at the two girls with puppy eyes next to him as the walked, "Wondering.." "Well since you made a move on Jonah earlier, maybe you cou--" "... No." Reply to This

"Zaniel and I aren't even alike at all!" Levin says as he stops walking. Everyone stops with him and starts to stare at him with their arms crossed as well. "Why are you all looking at me like that?" Levin says confused. "Because you are like Zaniel...all proper and junk." Naimah says still looking at Levin. Now an awkward silence fell over the group as they continued to walk back to their place. "So...will you do it now?" "Lysander..you say that one more time!" Levin says frustrated. Reply to This

The eve before Christmas arrived and everyone, well almost, became frantic from preparing for the dance. Someone lost their tie, cant find their shoe or just plain found something to irritate them. As the hour of the beginning of the winter festival approached closer, the group prepared as most of the city did. But in their rooms, Lysander and her friends were not a bit worried. -Lysander and NaimahLysander, come on. Well be late for our appointment. Putting her shoes on, Lysander looked at her friend and made a face. Naimah, why do we have to go to the salon anyway? Its only a dance and its only for tonight. Because were girls and its not only a dance. Its our first dance since..ever! she exclaimed as she twirled towards the door. Now, lets go. Dont make me drag you there. Yeah, yeah. Im coming. Lysander amusingly replied as she headed outside with Naimah. Giddy with excitement, Naimah grabbed Lysanders hand and ran to the elevator and practically threw themselves inside. -Jonah and LevinLevin got readied like it was normal for him to dress formally. Staring at him, Jonah watched as the black haired male skillfully dressed himself into his suit. Feeling the other boys eyes at him, he turned and faced him and gave him a look that said Yes? May I help you? What? Levin asked him. Jonah blinked and casually answered him. Nothing. Its just that you seem like you do this thing every day. So normal and what not, you know.

Chuckling, Levin continued fixing his suit and said, It is not that hard. Its clothes and once you see how it is worn the right way, its easy to mimic. Yea, whatever. Anyway, the festival is soon to start isnt it? I cant wait. Agreeing, Levin nodded. Yes, Im looking forward to it likewise. Thinking of what he just said, he pictured Lysander in her dress and lightly blushed. Wanting to hide it from Jonah, he turned his back to him and continued with whatever he needed to do next. -Klaus and ZanielIn their room, Zaniel was already dressed and was helping Klaus with his suit. Looking up at the taller man, Zaniel sighed happily as he showed Klaus how to knot his tie. Finally finished, Klaus looked at himself and admired the man in the mirror. Dont I look rather dashing? he asked no one. Turning back to Zaniel, he reached for him and kissed his forehead. Thanks for helping me. He laughed lightly. Smiling at the gesture, Zaniel looked into the mirror and checked his outfit one more time. Content with what he saw, he faced Klaus and whispered low enough to be heard, Yes, you do, earning him a huge grin from the older male. Reply to This

From outside the court yard where the ball would be held, the four gentlemen awaited the ladies rushing in their heels. Lucky for women though, they were capable of handling such 'pain'. "Well don't you ladies look rather lovely to the eye?" Klaus joked as he greeted Lysander and Naimah. "Quit trying to sound like Alcander and Zaniel." Lysander said rolling her eyes. Klaus shrugged and laughed, "Can't blame a brother for trying." "Jonah, you look so charming in your costume," complimented Naimah. She brushed her fingers above his red mask that also hinted black. Jonah rubbed his neck with a flushed look on his face, "Yeah," he murmured, "You-- look beautiful." She said nervously. Naimah smiled. "Least I know my fashion sense is in tact." She brushed her hands over her dress. Some would compare it to a Halloween costume, but Naimah was no conformist when it came to fashion specifics. Lysander began to pick at the noticeable differences between the other three men. Zaniel's attire was a clean pressed black with silver embroidering, but it suited the man's personality. Various accessories such as the top hat and gloves complemented the wardrobe as well. In sense, it was elegant yet simple. And it no doubt, made Zaniel attractive to people of both genders as we was getting looks from different directions. The female though, took more notice at Levin's Victorian appearal. Levin's was alike to Zane's in its own ways... and yet different. His attire seemed, elegant.. Yes, the suit in general was black much like Zaniel's and Jonah's, but the golden embroideries made it seem as fancy nobles. Nobles? Levin? Ha! That nearly made Lysander chuckle, but it was the closest she could compare him to. Along with golden embroideries, one could also spot the deep wine red of his vest, handkerchief and stitches along his gloves and cape that draped over one side. Hmm, it brought out the already fine and bold blue in his eyes. The passing thoughts traveling through her head was enough to have Lysander nearly wack herself. So she looked at Klaus. His hair was tied back in a silk red ribbon that was a shade deeper than his own eyes. The same color was also noticed with the theatrical stitches in his clothing included with a bit of gold and green. The suit in general was a cream white. Theatrical and weird was the perfect word for it. Lysander sighed. "Let's just go. The party already started." She groaned. As soon as she got over wearing her dress the sooner she could feel at peace.

"Come on, Lysander." Naimah said, "Maybe you'll enjoy it." "Maybe..." Reply to This

Delete As they approached the courtyard, the music, faint from before, got louder, and the light, dimmed from afar, was now brighter and beautiful. The place was perfect. Looking around, the area for dancing was filled with couples and groups of friends, some in circles, and everyone anonymous with their masks on. Wow. Its no lie when they say thats what theyre famous for. Klaus pointed out. Laughing, the others slowly walked into the yard and dispersed once they were inside. Naimah, as usual, left with Jonah and asked him to the dance floor. While Lysander was being approached by a lot of guys which she turned down one by one.

Klaus asked Zaniel to dance but was politely let down which made Levin snicker in the background. Poor Klaus. You got rejected. He playfully joked. Why? Jealous of Zane? Klaus retorted with a smirk, Want me to ask you? Hearing what Klaus said, Levin scoffed and said. As if Id dance with you. Not in a million years. Awe, dont be so haughty, Levin. Klaus laughed as he punched him lightly on the shoulder. Well, Im thirsty. Wanna grab a drink? Why not. Both Levin and Zaniel replied as they followed Klaus. As they walked toward the tables of food and refreshments, a guy bumped into Zaniel who was talking with a girl with strangely silver hair. She didnt look old but it might just be his imagination. And the guys voice? No. It couldnt be. With so many people there, the chance is minute. Reply to This

Send Message Delete "Jonah, I didn't realize you were light on your feet." Jonah blushed for the nth time that night. "Eh, It was a temporary class in the academy. I needed something to do." "I never heard of a ballroom dancing class in a military academy."

"I taught myself?" "..." "You an excellent dancer too, you know." He complimented as he twirled her around. "Where'd you learn?" "Secret." She chirped. "Well that doesn't seem fair." "Yes it does." -"Sir, you look so lonely" A masked young lady stated toward the snow white mopped Zaniel. "Ah, I am just enjoying the moonlight the crowd." "Would you like to dance?" "It would sound lovely, madam, but I am afraid I am not one for the floor." The young woman then left him to be, but he was again approached by more women. It would be a lovely evening for the gentleman. He eyed the conversing Klaus and 'Levin'. -"Your offer is quite flattering, miss. But I'm not one for the floor." The women gaped at the masked Levin who'd just rejected a young lady himself. "Hey..." the young woman began skeptically, "... I heard another guy say that to me earlier." Her friend whispered next to her, "I guess all gentlemen are just rude." The two girls flashed tongues at the male before walking off. "I guess rejection doesn't suit well with them." Levin sighed. "So when will you ask her to dance?" "And whom be this her that you mention, Klaus?" Alcander asked as he finely sipped his wine. The man gestured toward his darkened haired sibling who continued to reject approaching men. She labeled, UNTOUCHABLE. Alcander found reason to avoid an answer. "How can you not be so uptight about her getting approached like that? They're harassing her."

"Watch." responded Klaus with a crooked smile. -"M' lady, may I have this dance?" "... No." After a brief amount of time, Lysander basically threw 'lady-like' politeness over her shoulders. She wasn't raised to be a lady. 'Ladies', Lysander thought, acted a bit hesitant and couldn't do the things they were capable of because it wasn't 'polite'. 'Ladies', didn't usually hit their guys when they were dumb asses, but cried and gave them the guilt trip. 'Ladies', showed skin for the men; though that did seem a bit liberal. Lysander, did not like to show skin, thus her quite conservative appearance. Being raised by guys, she was more of the cover up the ladies sort rather than the show a bit of cleavage sort. Thank god she befriended Naimah, who was at the balance of both. "Oh miss," another man theatrically intruded, "It would be in my honor if you joined me on the dance floor." He placed his hand on her shoulder. And she was raised to knee the person that touched her without permission. Indeed, the man was soon after crying on the floor clutching his privates. -"How can you possibly be laughing at that?!" Levin nearly shrieked in horror pitying the pained man. He glared at the elder brother who was bursting his very gut at the situation and clung on to the walls in order to not fall over and roll on the floor. "He had it coming! Any guy should know better than to mess with her. I'm glad she took my advice!" Klaus reasoned still trying to regain composure. "You are a protective brother after all." "Yeah, but it would be a bit easier for her to handle if someone she knew would just take her hand." "You mean me? What happened to that night where she and I went on that ... distasteful date? You seemed to have a different heart about that." Klaus scoffed, "That's cuz I didn't know! And you guys hated it, so its okay." "... Yes..." Levin paused, "We most certainly 'disliked' it." Klaus clapped his hands together in enthusiasm, "Great! Now just tolerate each other for a few hours and we're good." "You are a cynical jackass! What will you be doing in this time?" "Dancing with beautiful ladies, of course."

"Klaus!" "Levin, c'mon!!" The noble male sighed and waved his hand. "... Alright." -"Excuse me..." Lysander by this time became just down right furious. "Look," she irritatedly began as she turned, "I don't wanna d--" "Well, regardless of whether you like to dance or not, it seems to be in my nature to offer such activities to a lady that stands by herself." "Did my brother send you?" Lysander jeered, "Just let him know I kneed the a guy in the balls earlier." Levin was undoubtedly grateful for the mask resting upon his face, for Lysander would be unable to see the smile that lay wide on his face. "Madam, if you are concerned, I came here on my own. Now, I believe it would be quite enjoyable, or at the least, tolerable if the both of us lead each other on the dance floor. As equals. Would you join me?" Lysander stared at the outstretched hand. No one had offered like that... -Klaus beamed at the scene between the two and it grew bigger when 'darling baby sister' actually took his offer. She was growing up. Being assured she was kept out of some pervert's hands, he escorted himself elsewhere... Like all the giggling ladies in the corner. "Hi girls!!!" "HI!!!" The answered back. As Klaus was about to approach the countless amount of awaiting bachelorettes, his sights were fixated onto one that wasn't awaiting him. And she just happened to have silver hair. Reply to This

Lysander sighed. "These pastries are Heaven made." Naimah, Jonah, and Klaus agreed and vocally savored the treats they found in the extravagant kitchen. Zaniel and Levin merely gave a low hum of approval as they quietly devoured their Italian and French styled meals with grace. "So how's dancing?" Naimah the napkin against her lips then placed it back onto the table. "Actually, it's a lot of fun. Jonah's a really good dancer." Lysander quickly noticed the flush appearing on the ivory eyed male. "And yourself?" Naimah asked. "It was okay." Lysander responded flatly. "I didn't do much dancing." She then scowled at Levin who was releasing a low chuckle. "I'm sorry, do you have something to say?" Levin let out a smirk. "Pardon me, Madamozelle, but after you stepped foot on the floor, you quickly ran out." he replied. The night-hair scoffed and v-turned the subject elsewhere. "How about you, Klaus?" There was a momentary pause, then habitual eye rolling. "What was that for, guys?!" "What is there to expect?" Lysander sarcastically questioned.

"You were philandering again, were you not?" joined Levin?" Klaus' eyes gloomed on the floor as Zaniel lightly smiled. -Elsewhere in the ballroom another two were partaking in snacks. "Sister, you should try these sweets! They're more delectable than what the maids at home have made! Though, I'm sure our mothers can top it." "Dear brother," Fayme softly scolded, "Are you attempting to expel us from this gathering?" Alecander swallowed a slice of cake. "Of course not. This place is too much fun. I wouldn't even dream of it." he answered with a toothy smile that made Fayme grin under her mask. "So have you been any successful in your mission?" Fayme asked after requesting a bite of the cake. "Ah," the older sibling said solemnly, "The only success I had with 'the mission' was when he bumped me earlier during the evening. I've yet to find him here." The silver locked lady pattered her brother on the shoulder, "The night hasn't ended yet. He's bound to be here. And when you do run into this fellow, do tell me. I'm eager to meet him." "Will do." assured Alec. -"If all dance participants of the evening please make their way to the floor for third group dance of the evening." issued the evening announcer. The group dances were a set of dances where every guest of a certain age group would make their way for a dance which focused on everyone rather than two. The first concerned the children ages 6 to 12. Then it was the teenagers ages 13 to 18. The third one was young adults 19 to 29. The fourth was the middle adults from 30 to 50, and the age list continued on until the final dance of the evening around 23:45. The ladies across from men, all the young adults aligned themselves for the oncoming dance peacefully, (with a bit of strain from Lysander.) "Care to join us, Zaniel?" Levin requested lightly. "Hm, I did mean it when I mentioned I was not one for the dance floor." A sly smile appeared "Sir, I do believe you're a bit shy." "I prefer not to bicker about such ordeals." suddenly two hands began to steer the young male toward the crowd. "Klaus."

"Ah, my name is Naimah." "Pleasure Naimah, I am Rayne. I'm quite surprised you noticed me." "How could I not notice? You're the only one here with silver hair." The women tilted slightly to each other curtsying before spinning in their designated directions. -Slowly the men stepped from one side to the next trying to meet their partners for the turn. "Hello there, madam." "-- Levin?" Alec blinked at the dark blue mopped woman that he curtsied and spun around. "Ah, I'm sorry. You must have me mistaken for someone else." This time under her mask, Lysander blinked then laughed loudly. "Oh I'm sorry. What was I thinking. Your hairstyle seemed familiar to me as well as the tone of your skin. I was reminded of a friend of mine. I should've known better. He's not the type to wear lighter colors." The curiosity in Alec's mind sparked. "Madam, what would your name be?" "Lysander. And yours?"

"Paige.It was nice to meet you, Lysander." the look-alike bowed and steered Lysander back toward the women's isle. -"A gentleman with white hair?" Rayne blurted curiously. "Much to say like yourself." replied Zaniel pointing out the woman's silver hair. Rayne giggled heartedly, "Maybe we were made for the seniors, sir." "Perhaps." Zaniel warmly agreed. "Sir, you're a bit familiar." "How might this be so?" "Oh yes, you bumped my brother earlier." Zaniel nearly froze, recalling the silver haired lady. How could he forget. Was the man she was talking to really-"Oh, I must apologize..." "Rayne. Rayne Vittoria." Vittoria... "Ah, Rayne. Yes I must apologize to your brother, personally. It would only be proper." "No need to be so formal." assured Rayne. "Well sir, I bid you adieu until later." The two curtsied and bowed and then glided back to their positions. -The music of the evening continued to flow and feet continued to glide. "You mistook me for someone else?" "Well I know I couldn't really recognize anything since we're all masked, but without the uniform, I thought I was looking at you." "Who would this person be?" "Uhm, I think his name is Paige." Levin spun Lysander around feeling a bit nervous inside. --

The red and blue haired girl was twirled by a gentleman in the crowd only to end up in front of her snow locked friend. "Hey there Zaniel." Naimah says smiling. "Greetings." He says returning the smile. Zaniel holds out his hand and Naimah takes it and they start to dance in the crowd of people. Naimah looks around to see Jonah talking to Klaus and some other people and smiles knowing that Jonah is enjoying himself. "So are you having fun Zane?" Naimah says. "Why yes I am." He replies with a content sigh. Naimah looks up at him with a smirk and he looks at her with a look of confusion. "Why are you smiling like that?" "I know that look...you found someone here haven't you?" Naimah says as they continue to twirl. "I don't know what you're talking about." He says blushing slightly. "So what's his or her name?" "Paige and I bumped into him earlier." He says sighing again. "Awe!!" Naimah squeals. "Yes he also seems to have a sister with silver hair." "Oh! you mean Rayne?!" "How did you know?" "I bumped into her again earlier during the group dance." Naimah says smiling. The song ends and Zaniel and Naimah stop dancing. "I wish you the best of luck Zane!" She says giving him a hug. "Thanks...I'm going to need all the luck I can get." "Well I'm going to head off to the dessert table would you like something?" "No thank you." "Oh...okay." Naimah says skipping happily to the table of delicousness. Reply to This

The dance floor clearing, Alec looked for Fayme and found her by their table, drinking a soda. Rayne, he began, Taking a breather? Looking up at the approaching male, Fayme smiled and asked, Brother, care to join me? Accepting the offer, Alecander sat and was handed a drink. The night was cool and the breeze of the new winter was refreshing to the skin after hours of dancing and socializing. He scanned the courtyard for him and still no luck. Interrupting his scoping, Fayme tapped his arm and said If youre looking for Zaniel, I know which part they are in. Him and his companions, I mean. Ears perking up at this, Alec gave Fayme all his attention as she started to say what she knew. It was just less an hour ago when I danced with him. He said he wanted to apologize for earlier, even though I told him it was not necessary to be so formal. And? Alec asked, excitement being hard to contain. And that was it. But when we parted I saw them go to the other side of the court. She pointed the direction. Sighing, he said, Valentine, it is time for us to meet again, making Fayme giggle and him smile.

"Your amount of food is over-indulgent." Levin said blatantly and blandly. The brunette swallowed his meal whole and retorted back, "It couldn't be that much!"

"Not that much?" Lysander questioned doubtingly. "I beg to differ." Everyone motioned their eyes down at an certain overflowing plate filled with this and that and lord knows what. There was no need to argue much further. Later in the meal, Naimah had brought up a familiar topic again. "Have you found Paige yet, Zaniel?" she asked. Surprisingly at the same time not, more than one head turned at the question. "Not yet." the male answered straightly. "Paige?" Lysander thought loud, "I met someone with that name earlier." Naimah became visibly excited at the thought, "You did? I met his sister, Rayne. So did Zaniel. He's been looking for Paige though. He needed to apologize for something." "I'm sure they're both somewhere in this place. I think they're on the other side of the court, though." As the two girls were drawn into where the two named people might be, Levin and Klaus had a conversation of their own. "-- Do you think she left Illumini?" Klaus whispered. Levin nodded slowly, "She would have to have a good reason though..." "Who's the other one though?" "Considering Lysander mixed the both of us up earlier, there is only one reasonable explanation." The older male paused momentarily. "... Just to weird." He mumbled wiping a small bit of sauce from his lips. He then stood from the table and looked around. "... Anyone know where the bathroom is?" All fingers pointed in one direction. "... At the other side of the court?!" Jonah laughed lowly, "better hurry." "... Dammit!" Klaus groaned out starting his venture to the other side. -- 10 minutes later-Again, Klaus groaned aloud. "It took me forever the place. Now I have to find my way back." He looked at the other guests feasting on their meals. The music had begun once again and people were beginning to dance... That didn't make it easier to cross the room.

Klaus continued to look around for something familiar, and something familiar did he find. -"Sister, are you sure you don't want to join me in finding Zaniel?" Alecander asked after sipping the last of his wine. "I'm in no desire to intrude on your moment, Paige. If all goes well, you will formally introduce him to me." responded his younger sibling with a wink. The two waved before 'Paige went venturing out into the crowd of people to search for Zaniel again. "Madam, there is a mere two hours left. Why not spend it on dancing? We all feast in our houses after all." It wasn't the fact that Fayme was being approached by a stranger, but the awkwardness in his voice as he said those words. She turned to see a masked auburn brunette with green eyes bowing for her. Reply to This

My name is Rayne and may I know what I shall call you? Lead to the dance floor, she and Klaus started dancing as Klaus introduced himself. You may call me Klaus, as do many. Well Klaus, Fayme tried his name, You are a very good dancer. A light reddening graced his cheeks at the complement given by this silver-haired lady. She emitted a noble-like aura and by the way she talks, he couldnt but help notice a distinguished perfection in it. The way she moved also, it was no doubt that she had been dancing since she was young. And you are no stranger to the dance floor either, Lady Rayne, Klaus said, making her blush in return. Silence then took place between them as they danced and as time slipped, the hour of the end neared. Reply to This

Time: 23:25 As evening turned to night, the climax of event would soon take place. "Lady Rayne, how do you feel about gift exchange?" The masked man asked her as they gazed up at the stars on the 3rd balcony on the Northern Corridor of the Court. "I believe gift exchange to be a tradition of many holidays." the questioned girl answered straightly. "Do you find a use for it?" Fayme looked confused, "... A use?... As in, a benefit?" Klaus nodded, "Yes. A benefit. I think that people have been wrapped up in the tradition of gift giving, that they focus on what to get and what they will get--" -"-- that the 'tradition' becomes more of a 'must do' rather than 'I want to do.' There's less of a meaning." Lysander said gliding her fingers up the railings of the stairs. Levin glanced at her with most curiosity. He enjoyed it most when she wanted to have a conversation. That didn't happen often. He urged her to continue. "Since we were poor and on the streets, my brothers and I didn't give each other presents during Christmas." -"We would actually give each other presents on some completely random day that no one would expect." Klaus muttered then chuckled. Fayme smiled, "That seems quite lovely. A random present would mean more happiness." "Right, there's not reason for it, except to make each other smile... and stuff." Klaused paused then became flushed at the girl's smile. -Lysander leaned onto the walls of a separate balcony, "What about Mistle-toe?" Lysander asked Levin. "Obscure tradition." he responded coldly. Lysander laughed at his annoyed reaction. "What's so obscure about a harmless kiss?" "Kisses were meant to be shared with someone you care about." "Aren't you old fashioned." Lysander giggled, She questioned as she poked his arm, "Are your lips virgin lips?"

The aristocratic male became furiously red at her question. "Where my lips have been is none of your concern!" He said harshly. Lysander waved him off. "Yeah, I know. I didn't realize you'd take it seriously. So does that mean you're gay after all?" "What does that have to do with anything? And I will show you gay." "So you are!" "I am not! You are unaware of the ground you trample on, Lysander." "Oh bite me." "Fine." A sudden grasp and a pull brought Lysander a bit too close into the man for comfort. "W-- What the hell?" She glared at the aristocratic friend fiercely, only to have a dark smile returned. "It occurred to me that you have disturbed the mood, madam. I do not tolerate disturbances." Levin mumbled as his face neared hers. "L-- Let go of me. Or -- or I'll knee you in the balls or do something you'll regret." He laughed darkly, "Do you want to do that?" he whispered huskily his breath touching her skin. "I--" "LEVIN! LYSANDER! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!?" "The balcony, Naimah." Levin called out. He released a flushed Lysander from his hold and stepped back a few paces. "It may look like I have no 'experience' of any kind Lysander, but like I have stated earlier, you are unaware of the ground you trample on." The speechless Lysander took heavy breathes just before Naimah and Jonah met them. "Hey, we've been looking for you guys earlier. It's getting close to midnight." said Jonah. Naimah nodded, then looked at the two. "Lysander, are you okay?" she asked seeing her friend nearly breathless. Levin laughed lightly then patted Lysander on the shoulder. "She is simply excited. She would not cease on any conversation concerning Christmas." "Ly, you never stop talking at all do you?" Naimah laughed along. The young tomboy scoffed and started to walk back into the building. "Where's my brother?" Naimah shrugged, "We've been looking for him too." Levin looked to the side avoiding eye contact since Lysander was facing in his direction.

"-- Hey, Klaus!" -Klaus and Fayme listened the looked in the direction of a voice familiar to the both of them. 2 Balconies away, they noticed four people waving and calling out to them. -"Well now that we've got that covered," Naimah said, "Anyone seen Zaniel?" Reply to This

Permalink Reply by LC Thomas Tristian Lagman on March 1, 2010 at 10:20pm Delete Time: 2340 The music has started once again and couples and friends occupied the emptied dance floor. He looked for them but to no avail, the shifting of the dancers in the courtyard made it hard to concentrate. It was almost midnight and the dance neared to an end. Decided, he tried one more time and sensed their location. Zaniel then hurriedly walked to the direction of the auras he had just sensed. Busied with his concentration, he failed to notice the puddle of liquid that was just spilled moments ago and one wrong step and he was falling backwards. Dj vu much, he thought, but to his luck he was saved again like the last time. We really gotta stop meeting this way, a familiar voice chuckled that sent shivers up his spine. Looking at his savior, he could tell from his appearance that he was no doubt the exact copy of Alcander but in a more feminine way. Paige, I think you are right. He laughed lightly, I was just so busy keeping my companions location. This is the second time you have saved me from a rather unnecessary accident. You have my gratitude but I must be going now. My companions are starting to move again, Zaniel thanked him in a rush of words but with complete sincerity. Ah but alas I have found you my Valentine and I wish not to depart, Paige said rather dramatically earning him a small light laugh from the shorter boy. Well, do you want to accompany me perhaps? If it will cause you no trouble, of course Zaniel asked amused. Hearing the invitation, a smirk appeared on his lips, It will be my honor to accompany such grace and beauty, he replied as he took Zaniels hand and kissed it.

Blushing from his action, Zaniel coughed at the attention people were giving them and lead the way, a smiling Paige in tow. -Time: 2348 There you are, an over energized Naimah exclaimed as Zaniel and Paige appeared out of the crowd. Weve been wondering where you went and I see you bought a friend. She gestured to the raven haired look-a-like. Turning to the aforementioned friend, he remembered that he had asked him for his company. Ah yes, this is......, he was cut off before he could finish as Rayne appeared from behind Klaus and called out to Paige. Paige, I see you have found him and I you, she laughed mirthfully. Dear Rayne how was the dance floor? I saw you dancing with a rather handsome fellow. He winked at Klaus as he talked to Rayne which made the brunette blush at the complement. So Fayme, is he here? The famous Levin? Indeed he is and I am almost completely sure that its him. Well know soon enough. Did you try reading his mind? You know how I feel about that. I only read without permission if the person is suspicious. I know, I know. Well lets stop talking because I feel their eyes on us. Coming back to reality, the two laughed and brushed off the weird looks at them. -Klaus watched as Paige and Rayne talked. Moving closer to Alcander, he whispered a question in a hushed voice, Do you think its really them? Alcander anxious and nervous of their presence replied fast, I have no doubt. That hair, his voice, her actions. But it might be possible.. That is one big if. Klaus pointed out. Alcander grimaced at the thought and continued to watch the sibling along with Klaus. -Hey Naimah. Psst.

Hearing her name whispered, Naimah turned to Lysander. What is it? Dont you think they look closely alike? Who? Niamah asked a little oblivious at the moment. You know, she pointed at the siblings and Alcander, Levin and Paige. Even Rayne. I guess so but Paige and Levin are different from each other in so many ways. Yea, I know that, but I cant shake this feeling. Smiling at her friend, Naimah chuckled before speaking, Maybe you should sit down for a while. Niamah! Lysander exclaimed jokingly. -Time: 2350 Ladies and Gentlemen, this is our last dance of the night. Grab a partner and let us enjoy the remaining minutes of the Christmas Eve, the event holder announced. Naimah? Jonah asked extending his hand to her. Why not, she replied with a warm smile. -Klaus looked at Fayme and approached her. May I borrow the lady from you, Paige? Of course, he answered happily, Have fun! -Lysander, would you like to dance? Alcander asked unsure with a reddening slowly gracing his cheeks. If you think I would dance with you after what you tried to pull....... she decided not to finish her sentence. Looking at him, she couldnt blame him for it was partly her fault. I..Fine..Whatever.. Its Christmas anyway. She offered her hand and was lead to the dance floor. -The snow was staring to fall as midnight crept closer. 7 minutes and closing. Looking at the couples dancing, Zaniel smiled at how much fun they seem to be having. He sighed soundlessly to himself. Would you like to dance, Valentine? Alecander asked pulling him out of his thoughts. Startled and embarrassed to have forgotten he was not alone; Zaniel couldnt form his sentences. Paige, oh, IThank you but I..

As he was entertained by the way he was flustered, Paige grabbed Zaniel hand before he could have the chance to refuse and lead him to the floor next to his companions who looked at them and chuckled. Shaking his head, he gave Paige what he wanted and took his hand and placed it on Paiges and the other on Paiges shoulder as Paige held his waist. The minutes ticked by as they all danced and soon enough the last minute before Christmas Day arrived. As they all stopped to watch the clock strike midnight, Zaniel noticed the air to be charged with excitement and something identifiable. As the whole courtyard counted down, people started to get closer. 46. As everyone did, Klaus faced Fayme with a hesitant smile and a blush starting to creep on his face. Jonah and Naimah stared at each other endlessly. Alcander looked at Lysander and both with questions in their eyes. 35. Alecander glanced at his dance partner and Zaniel could see the want and desire in his eyes. The fire that burned into his soul as their eyes met. The seconds passed. 20. Faymes eyes lit up. 18. Jonah and Naimah closed their eyes. 13. Lysander nodded as approval. 10. Alecander stroked his cheek, brushing the melted snow away. 8. Klaus closed his eyes and held her hands. 7. Jonah sighed as Naimah wrapped her arms around his neck. 5. Alcander brushed the loose stray hair from her face and slanted a little.

4. Zaniel felt lightheaded and anticipated. 2. The sound of their breathing was the only sound in the courtyard. 1. The clocked stroke at midnight. The snow falling in colors as it danced in the night sky among the party lights. Klaus was breathless and Fayme flushed. Naimah and Jonah leaned against each other. Lysander colored with red and Alcander amusement and satisfaction. Alec was speechless and Zaniel wide-eyed. Reply to This

That's what they thought at this time. Christmas was a time of happiness. Time: December 25th, 2029. 0530 Location: Western State. Levis City. Hotel. As Naimah, Jonah, and Lysander slumbered upon the beds, a hushed conversation continued from the other side of the room . "-- Eva? -- I-- I cannot believe what I'm hearing..." stuttered Alcander. Fayme was at the brink of tears as the bitter memories flooded her mind. "Yes." Alecander nodded, "Fayme was framed for her murder." Klaus gawked at Fayme. That 'lady'? She was the kind of person who wouldn't hurt a spider much less kill her own mother. Both he and Zaniel took in every bit of information on the nobles as they possibly

could. Their pampered lifestyle was more like a soap opera. As the hour rushed by everyone seemed to be on the same page as why everyone was there. "So now that you have found me, Alec. What do you intend on doing?" Alcander questioned as he rested his chin upon his laced fingers. The elder twin thought for a bit. "... I'm not exactly sure. We're reunited. That's an advantage." "As it is an advantage, wouldn't there be search parties for us?" "There could be." Just before anyone could say anymore, dawn had risen and so had the three that were asleep. Gifts were then passed, and a day out in the snow lifted spirits to the sky. Everyone got to know each other better... Well in the nobles' case, as Paige, Levin, and Rayne. No mentions of the past. Only the present and an optimistic New Years to look forward to. Reply to This

"Naimah what are you doing?" Zaniel asks curiously. "What do you think I'm making? I'm making a snow man." Naimah says smiling. "Snow man..." Zaniel says looking at the her like she's crazy. "You've never made one?" She says confused. All of a sudden she feels something hit her back and she stands up to see Jonah whistling and looking innocent. She looks at him and decides to sneak attack him. "Oh Jonah." Naimah says walking over to him. "Yes." He says. She hurries up and throws the snowball at him but ends up missing him and hitting the older boy behind him. He looked shocked at first but then a huge grin grew on his face as he gathered up snow and threw a snowball and hit his sister with it. She then threw it hitting Levin in the back of the head. "SNOW BALL FIGHT!!!" Klaus shouts as he throws more snowballs at people. "What? Bu--but my snowman." Naimah says pouting. "There is always time for that love." Jonah says throwing a snowball at Klaus. Reply to This

Time: December 29, 2029. 0236. Location: Western State. Levis City. Hotel. Adveho. The voice spoke in a tongue that he understood. It was the same dream again but this time it was stronger and darker than the last. Solvo mihi quod ego vadum tribuo vestri sulum votum, it continued, its words dripped with disdain and malice at every syllable. Is est vicis. --He wriggled and thrashed on his bed as the nightmare continued. Klaus awoken by his sudden movement rubbed his eyes and saw that Zaniel was awake. Getting a closer look, he saw that his eyes were open but they were lifeless. He shook Zaniel a little to try and get him to wake up but he just kept mumbling words that he couldnt understand. His eyes were foggy and unfocused, empty. Zaniel! Zaniel!, he shouted, Wake up! He could hear a voice call out to him but he was stuck. He couldnt move his body and the nightmare continued. Zaniel was awake but asleep. He wished for it to go away and it seemed that it did but without leaving him a final message. Terminus est near. Color returned to his pale eyes and sweat soaked his entire body, Zaniel shivered and stared at Klaus. Both were speechless and none said a word. Zaniel felt drained and tired and wanted to just go back to sleep but he knew what he must do. A precaution to the nightmare. Without a word, he stood up and grabbed a quick shower and changed into his traveling clothes with his messenger bag. As he walked toward the door, Klaus asked after a minute of silence. Where are you going? What was that? He sounded confused, full of questions, but mostly worried. I have to do something. Please do not wait up for me. Just go back to sleep he calmly replied. I will see you in the morning. He tried to say with a smile. No, Im coming with you. Klaus said with a firm voice. Shaking his head, Zaniel smiled grimly. I assure you, it will not be pleasant, both the sight and the sounds. I dont care. Im not letting you go alone. Klaus. Its final. With that, Klaus changed into his clothes and grabbed his gear and jacket. Are you sure? I already warned you. It will be unbearable and that is saying it nicely.

Klaus looked into his eyes. Lets go, he said with affirmation. Giving up, Zaniel nodded and walked out the door, Klaus behind him, his eyes, he can feel watching him, full of unanswered questions. Reply to This

Delete Time: 2046 The air felt cold and icy to the skin and the sky was as dark as an unlit well except for the moon. His eyes never leaving Zaniel, Klaus followed him in silence. They were heading outside the city from what he can see. Stores became farther and smaller and the lights became duller and dimmer to the eyes. As they walked briskly, Zaniel stopped and changed direction and stopped again, changing direction for the second time. Finally they arrived at their destination. An old ruin of a building that can be seen from the town square. It was three stories high, Klaus would have guessed but it was hard to be sure, seeing parts of its walls on the ground beside it and no remains of the roof attached to the top. Scanning the surrounding, Klaus noticed that there was no other building, house or store, near them. That was weird. A lone building in the outskirt of the town. This town. No indications either that people lived or

even touched this place for years. What happened here was the thought that came to Klaus mind. Busy with wonder of the place, Klaus didnt hear the beaten up double doors open until Zaniel called out to him. Klaus. He turned his head in the direction of the voice and saw Zaniel standing, silhouetted by the door. Come. He followed and closed the door behind him. Scanning the place after adjusting his eyes, it was empty except for pieces of rubble and wood here and there. What are you doing exactly? he spoke after their short silent journey. I will explain everything later. Time is wasting. Hurriedly, Zaniel took off his bag and took out several things. A candle, a pouch, some sticks that look like incense, an orb, and lastly a box which Klaus remembered containing a book. Klaus? Looking at Zaniel, he nodded. Yes? What I am about to do is very important. No matter what happens. No matter what, please do not do anything. Even if I sound like I am in pain. Zaniel looked at him with a seriousness that he had never seen before. Promise me this. Nothing, he added with emphasis. I promise. Klaus struggled to say. I know you do, Zaniel whispered almost barely audible as he walked into the center of the dusty floor. Closing his eyes, he spoke in an unknown language to Klaus that caused a slight wind to enter from the roofless building, stirring the dust around them and trapping them in a ball of air that ascended outside. The floor now clean, Zaniel gathered his things and prepared his circle. Muttering some more words, a circle designed with complicated symbols appeared and glowed on the visible floor. One by one Zaniel placed the objects on the circle. The candle, lit up, to the south to represent fire. The orb, when examined closely filled with some sort of liquid, to the west to represent water. The incense, lavender smoke rising from it, to the east to represent air. Lastly, the pouch, opened, filled with gems and polished stones, to the north to represent earth. As Zaniel did all of these things, Klaus watched with awe and excitement but also with worry and nervousness. His eyes followed Zaniel as he took the last thing he had taken out of the bag, the box containing the book. The preparations ready, Zaniel opened the book and removed his hands from under it as its words seemed to glow and the book suspended in the air by itself. He then spoke and read from the book. To Klaus, it was all unknown but still he cant help feel the dark energy surrounding the foreign language. Reply to This

Delete Time passed which seemed like hours, and Zaniel now stopped. Still inside the circle, he grabbed his knife from his left boot and placed it on his palm, squeezing it hard enough to draw blood. Watching the blood drop into the circle, Klaus fought the urge to stop him but he couldnt move and wouldnt. He knew better. The blood that now created a small pool, started to move and retrace the markings on the floor, now, the circle shined a deep crimson then black. His eyes moved from the circle then to Zaniel, whose eyes turned black as the night sky with a pentagram in each, outlined in white. In them, nothing can be seen but a reflection of ones self. Klaus continued to watch and Zaniel continued with his magick like nothing or no one was even around. Again, Zaniel spoke and foreign words came out of his lips. Curator of nox noctis, patronus of lux lucis, ego voco vos in meus orbis. Adveho quod temerarius meus dico, everto quisnam servo nostrum conventio. Ego sum Zaniel Valentine of Adir Prosapia voco vestri presentia sub is plenus luna lux lucis. A pactum ego peto a vox ego postulo, tribuo mihi meus votum. After finishing his invocation, he stopped and closed his eyes. Suddenly, a dark unseen force, forced Zaniel onto his knees and he cried in agony as if he was being torn apart. The contract was being made and the seal was being created. Zaniel! Klaus called out, wanting to stop him.

Dont! Zaniel managed to gasp out, his voice deeper and strange, unnatural even. His hands on the floor, he gasped and clenched his hands into fist. Sweat started to appear on his forehead and to Klaus; it seemed that his fair skin and white hair was changing too. It was strange, what he was seeing and he couldnt do anything to ease the pain. Zaniel then screamed, deep and ragged, as lines started to appear on his now darker skin. The blood on the floor lined his skin and smoke seemed to appear as if he was being etched into with fire. Everything around him was changing. Abruptly, his screams and cries died out and his breathing deepened and sounded forced. He was exhausted but it was almost done. Saying a few more words in a voice that didnt belong to him, Zaniel Valentine Adir is est perfectus. Ego sum vos quod vos es mihi, Zaniel closed his eyes and passed out.

December 29th, 2029. 0400. Sofiel fastened the last of the straps on her sidepack and adjusted her Katana so it wouldn't dig into her back. She adjusted her mask and headed out of her room into the crisp dawn. She had made up her mind about finding Inigo. Sofiel hoped that none of the new guards, or even the ones she knew, would stop her. She really didn't want to talk to the CG right now. Little did she know, the CG was waiting until 0530 to knock on her door, thinking that that time was a more apropriate hour than when he had told Sofiel about Mr. Montoya. Sofiel slipped off of the campus and headed East. --An hour and a half later-"Yes, I am quite sure I won't be in any danger with her. Why are you guarding her room for that matter hmm?" "Well Sir, it's just that, uhm.." "Spit it out apprentice." "She told me to Mr. CG, i mean uhm Sir. She asked me to tell anyone wanting to see her that she didn't want to be bothered." "Is that so? Well maybe I should just ask her that then eh?" The CG moved to knock on Sofiel's door but the apprentice grabbed his arm before he could do so. The CG got red in the face and turned towards the apprentice, daggers shooting from his eyes. "YOU'D BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD REASON FOR GRABBING ME LIKE THAT APPRENTICE!!" "She's not there Sir!"

The CG looked confused at first but then got his emotions under control. "What do you mean she's not here?" "She left about an hour and a half ago Sir, told me to guard her stuff in her room and to not let anyone in until she came back, including you Sir." The CG pushed past the apprentice with a startled look on his face and burst through the door. The room was empty and bare. All that remained were the chairs, the couch, the mattress on her bed with only the sheets folded on top of it, and only one of the three towels the bathroom had previously held. Sofiel had taken everything else with her, which, by the way, wasn't much to begin with. All of her belongings were gone and the only extra materials she took with her were the other two towels and the blankets off of the bed. The apprentice looked in the room with horror on his face, thinking about the big mistake he had just made. The CG looked at him before issuing his first order of the day. "Call everyone assigned to the Inigo case. Tell them to meet me in my office for a conference, as soon as possible. Think you can do that for me?" "Ye-yes Sir. Right away Sir!" The apprentice saluted and hurried off to carry out his task. --The Outer Edges. December 29th, 2029. 0900.-The Outer Edges. Sofiel stares across a flowing river at the tall, dangerous row of mountains while she waits for the ferry to arrive. The once lucious mountains full of plant and animal life now sat cold and desolate in it's state of death. Now, the only creatures that inhabit the Outer Edges are mutated and vicious, they have armor-plated skin and sometimes multipled extremities. They are always fighting for dominance, territory, and mates and kill any intruders that they see. This is the challenge that Sofiel faces to be able to get to the Eastern State before the Terentia do. Reply to This

Making their way through the town, the last thing Zaniel remembered was Klaus carrying him in his arms the last few yards from the hotel. --Time: January 2, 2030. 1435 Days passed and Zaniel still slept. He didnt know it but when he woke up, he was surprised. It was the New Year already. Groggily, he rubbed his eyes and saw that he was alone in the room. Checking the

time, he bolted right up but fell back down as his body felt heavy and weak. He felt like hell to be more precise. Learning from abruptness, Zaniel slowly sat up and swung his legs over to the floor from the bed with care. He groaned but at least it was less painful from the first time. Slowly, he walked to the bathroom and took a shower. Wincing at the pressure of the water, Zaniel closed his eyes and let it drown him. It felt good, his muscle relaxed and loosened and the soreness left momentarily. The door to their room opened but Zaniel was too occupied with his shower, that he didnt hear it or the person that entered. Zaniel? Klaus asked quietly to see if he was awake. To his surprise, the shower was on and the bed was empty. Deciding to wait and to kill time, Klaus closed his eyes as he lied on the bed for a moment. Reply to This

"He looks like he hasn't slept well." "Mhmm." The group behind him whispered like-gossips to each other as Zaniel continued to walk forward slowly and still drained, A few more minutes in and the group decided to split ways to look for their consultant. For hours, they continued to receive no's and doesn't ring a bells until they found a lucky random citizen. They eventually met back. -"Okay, so according the the young couple, there was a man with a Terentia badge near the outskirts of the city." said Lysander walking in the direction of the back city gates. Naimah nodded in understanding. "It makes sense if he didn't want to be found in the middle of the society." -Time: 1556 The group had eventually neared themselves to the back outskirts of the city surrounded by a forest. Amongst them were the new joinees, Paige and Rayne. For the short time, they had been cooperative and mostly observant of the Terentia Apprentices. They had also eyed Levin who acted as if he were a Northerner his who life... excluding this noble'd persona.

"Giovanne Paschen!" called Klaus for the spy's name. "We're of the Northern State. Please come out an--" The Delta Force soldier's call was abruptly halted when something fell from one of the trees into a bush. Swiftly the Terentias made their way towards it, looking around for enemies. When they were close enough to see what dropped, nausea had kicked in. Paige looked in horror. "What brutality." The man had been slaughtered in countless ways. Jonah walked slowly to the man examining his remains. "His tag is on. Someone or something beat us to him." He continued to examine the body. "30 gun shot wounds. 5 stabs. And many more unidentified. This isn't just a homicide. This is a massacre directed at one person. The bullets are unidentifiable." He pulled out a single bullet on the man's lower abdomen. Levin cleared his throat. "May I have a look?" He asked already putting on a pair of gloves. Jonah nodded his head. "These edges are smooth with darkened stripes... It comes from a certain gun... " He turned the bullet to its bottom half and found the mark. "... It was from a Malum Castodes gun." The mood suddenly became colder. Then a spark flashed in Levin's mind, then Rayne's and Alec's. "EVERY ONE GET DOWN!" Levin yelled from the peak of his lungs. Gun shots flew. Reply to This

Lysander formed a metal shield followed by Naimah teleporting the group meters away to some where safer. "How'd they get here?!" Naimah cringed at the ambush. From behind her Fayme looked all of the sudden fatigued. Lysander again, generated a metal stand raising the group to a higher point. "They can't completely destroy this material." Everyone nodded. Alcander glanced at Fayme and Alec who glanced back. "I don't think they're after us." "No. They could be." Alec responded shaking his head. "Rayne and I spent too much time here." Once again, they were interrupted. This time by a sky ambush. One of the Malum Castodes soldier flew in the air firing his gun at down below at the pillar. Another man next to him punched his arm.

"Are you mad?! Do you know who you're firing at?" "Yeah! The enemy!" "Not them you dumb ass! Look!" The partner frantically pointed in the nobles direction. The eyes of the first soldier widened. "Holy-- It-- It's them! The missing kids!" The two soldiers began to fly towards the group. "Sir A--" They were easily blown down by a blast from Alcander. He wiped his brow with all his nervousness... "Klaus, merge." The brunette nodded and with a glow the two were one and stronger. They leaped off the pillar into the many bullets aimed for them. The two would counter each shot with a blast and vaporize the the bullet. -"Zaniel, are you well enough to fight?" Alec asked concerningly. The witch smiled softly. "I am well enough to." Alec smiled back then looked at Fayme. His thoughts connected with her's. "You're not helpless, sister." "Helpless, no. Useless, yes." She ran towards Lysander with a look of grief. "I'm not going to be much of use here, but I don't really plan on dying..." Lysander smiled then created a dome over Fayme and responded, "You're safe. It's all good." -- From below Naimah, Jonah, Zaniel, and Paige had already leaped down to tag along in the battle. With all suddenness, Naimah began to predict movements of the enemy. They came as flashes with out her knowledge and he did not know when attacks would come. "Jonah, five men will come at you. Two, twenty degrees Northeast and the rest directly west." "I'll be prepared." Naimah prayed that what she saw wasn't the truth. -Spell after memorized spell, Zaniel would easily paralyze the enemy, control their body, or other methods of useful tactics. Alecander used the speed borrowed from the Soldier in the past to outright stab anyone in sight like it was nothing. -"Jonah!" Naimah called out alarmed by the five Malum Castodes ambushing the named Medic. "Your hands are full, I'll take care of it!" He yelled back. The medic sped into the inner part of the forest looking for something to take the other men with. A bullet would gage his side, but he would swiftly

slide under the man taking the gun, shooting the man along with another of his comrades then take their gun as well. Those targets were a piece of cake really, they were only dressed in black. Jonah scanned for the other three. He cursed. A shot flew near his head and just missed by hairs. The man shot again and Jonah jumped away and shot the man in the shoulder but was then jabbed near the spine by another MC thrusting his machine gun against the Medic. Jonah elbowed the man in the jaw and kneed him in the groin. He stole the gun, aimed for the man's torso and shot. A shot gazed his side as well. As fast as he could, Jonah limped toward any direction with sound. And soon he was over a bridge overlooking a raging river. By this time he had cut off the outward flow of blood with wrapped bandages. By a sudden movement, Jonah shot the gun again and the silence. But before he could do anything else the last MC had tackled him to the ground. They punched, kicked, and wrestled each other for the gun. But with a slick move the gun fell into the river and was washed away. The two continued to the peak of their brawl when the MC lost their balance on the bridge. He grasped tightly onto Jonah's collar and pulled him along. Unable to break free both men feel into the river. -By 6pm the army that ambushed them was wiped out, the bodies were carried and piled over near a tree. "Jonah?... Jonah." Naimah sounded for his name. It couldn't have happened. She wouldn't believe it. She ran through the forest for signs of struggle, and found many. With that she followed each sign and her heart paced with ever fast step to the point where she just teleported every 5 feet until she reached the bridge. She walked cautiously onto it looking down at the planks of wood. They were covered in blood up until a certain point were the trail had just ceased. The railing were covered in blood. "--- Jonah..." She sobbed. The tone in her voice became like scared mewls. The others had eventually caught up to her. She was on her knees, soaked in blood. Her hands grasped the rails as she looked over into the river... Reply to This

They had searched for Jonah, but he was never found. Him, body, and all. By this time, everyone just focused on re cooperating. Rather than residing in the hotel, the group moved into the apartment complex with Fayme and Alec for the time being. To their advantage, the complex wasn't inhabited by many renters. As a matter of fact for the most part, Fayme and Alec had the place to themselves.

-"Naimah... How are you feeling?" Lysander asked softly. The red haired Terentia kept silent as she layed on her twin sized bed. Lysander felt the pain, hurt, and bitterness the filled the room. It was a familiar feeling. She got up from the bed. "Naimah, be sure to call one of us for anything..." She then walked out of the room. Where she happened to run into Rayne. "Rayne... Hello." The older woman stuttered over her words. "I-- I'm very sorry for what happened a few days ago." She managed to choke out. Lysander smiled, I'm not really one to apologize to, but this was in no way your fault Rayne. I've said every hour on the hour." -On a higher floor, Zaniel wandered around the Complex. It was nice to have a private residence, but it was hard to find things. Now what had Alec done with his spell book? Zaniel couldn't believe the man had convinced him to give him a look to begin with. She made his way up another flight of stairs into another hallway where he heard familiar voices. "You think she's here?" That one was Klaus. "I can't deny it. Those soldiers belong to Beatrice." That one was Lev-- Alcander's. Zaniel smooth and swiftly skulked to the door enough to hear the conversation, but not to be seen. "Its one thin to have her be dealing with us. In fact this is nothing new, but innocent lives are becoming included, Klaus. This can't be going on like this any further. Fayme, Alecander and I can't keep running." "This seems a bit cliche' for a question, Al, but are you sure this is the smartest way?" There was a short but decent pause. "It doesn't seem very calculative at first, but this is the only way with out complete blood shed." "But there will blood." "Yes. There will be blood. But I will keep my promise." There was a long pause this time, then a sigh.

"Alright. I know the plan. So tomorrow, we'll be enemies?" "By tomorrow."

By the time Klaus left the room, Zaniel had made his way make to his. "Enemies?" Reply to This

She didn't feel like getting up, or doing anything for that matter...she felt like going out there and finding him..but she knew she would have no luck. "Everything is going to be fine...you should know that." "Yes some day you'll never know he could return....and if not you got guys like me." Klaus said winking at Naimah. "Klaus." Lysander says elbowing him in the side. "What he is trying to say is have hope." Lysander says smiling. She didn't respond but in the silence her stomach started to grumble. "Well it sounds like someone is hungry." Klaus chuckles. "Well...I am a little." Naimah says getting up. "There we go let's go and get something to eat." Lysander says put her arm around Naimah's shoulder and they go to get something to eat. Reply to This

"Alright..." "Alright." Lysander and Naimah stared curiously as Klaus tightened the frilly pink and white laced apron around his waist. They had to pinch their own skin to keep themselves from bursting into tears of laughter. It worked... for the most part. The brunette cracked his knuckled one by one and eyed the counter in front of him fiercely. The two girls went to their designated spots and positioned themselves, then faced Klaus who's back was directly turned to them. Ready, Set, Go. "Knives." Lysander whipped out the blades and threw them directly at Klaus who caught them with ease. She then headed directly for part two. "Naimah, Ham, Turkey, Chicken." "Ham. Turkey. And Chicken." She repeated tossing the meat. "Lysander, Mayo and Cheese." "Got it. American, Swiss, or what?" "... Both, I'll get creative." "Okie doke." "Nai, Lemons." "Here you go." "Sis--" "Yeah, water." "Bananas." "Bananas." "Ice cream." "Ice cream." "Syrup." "Chocolate or Caramel?"

"Both." "Want sprinkles with that, Klaus?" "Sure. While you're over there get some almonds." Naimah and Lysander continued to grab and throw, Food continued to fly, and Klaus' hands flew in many unseen directions. And soon after a good thirty minutes, Klaus cracked his knuckles again and chuckled. "All done. Lo and behold, all. A feast!" exclaimed Klaus. 6 Banana Splits. Half with Caramel Syrup and half with Chocolate Syrup. Intricately placed Strawberries and Sprinkles. 4 Glasses of Lemonade and 3 with smoothies flavored Strawberry, Pomegranate, or Banana. 5 Grilled Cheese Sandwich, 4 Basic American Cheese with Ham or Turkey Meat, 3 Swiss Cheese with Ham or Turkey Meat. The audience of four applauded the trio's master piece. Alcander was the first to grab. "Well, this appears to be delectable," he complimented as he grabbed his ideal treats. The others soon followed along taking deserts by two or three, complimenting the three for the performance and Klaus' handy work. And soon after, nearly all of the treats were gone leaving Klaus staring at the counter top yet again. His stomach growled loudly, but not loud enough for him to hear a small giggle from behind. "Hunger does do a number on everyone." said Fayme. Klaus rubbed his neck and looked away. "Uhm... yeah." The silver haired girl pushed her bowl of banana split forward. "This is much to grand for me to finish by myself. Care to join me?" Klaus looked nervous and hesitated, but Fayme continued to smile silently. Flushed, Klaus cleared his throat and nodded. "You know, Klaus. My thoughts about you know differ from when I first met you." "Really?" His eyes lit up at her statement recollecting how she threatened him with a blade during their first meeting. Fayme giggled again and nodded. "Before I thought you were cruel jerk who was just trying to take my brother away to the wrong side." Klaus glanced solemnly. He also remembered that she was like a princess and their politics was very different. "Now I know you have good intentions." His eyes lit up again.

"You're just ..... Flamboyant, for lack of a better word." Flamboyant...?! Klaus practically 'sweat dropped'. "Conversing with you is fun!" the lady exclaimed. ... Had he even said anything? In whatever case, Klaus continued to enjoy the split like everyone else. Reply to This

Lysander noticed but decided to let it go and hoped that things would work out on their own. Naimah drank what was left of the ice cream from the bowl and then she went to the other room, put in her head phones and tried to drift off to sleep. "Naimah are you alright?" Zaniel said as he walked in. "Yeah....I guess...is it alright for me to not feel anything about him being gone?" She said laying there not facing him. "What do you mean?" He said confused. "He's gone...but I don't feel sad...or happy...or anything for that matter..I feel calm..." She said finally turning over. "I think you are still in shock." Naimah looked over at Zaniel and then after they talked for a bit longer she finally fell asleep and he left the room closing the door behind him as he walked back to the others. The others looked at him and he nodded assuring that she was alright and they all continued to eat the rest of their food. Reply to This

Delete --The Outer Edges. January 3rd, 2030. 1400.-Fuck! I have to get away from this thing if I'm ever gonna make it to the other side! Sofiel thinks this as she sprints as fast as she can away from the creature chasing her. The creature is shaped like a bear but it has two heads and is super fast. Its skin is like steel, its almost impossible to penetrate. The only place Sofiel knows is vunerable is the very center of the base where both necks connect. I shouldn't have tried to kill that thing for food! That's the last time I ever judge the killing ease of an animal/creature/thing! She swings herself over a rock and runs even faster when she hears the beast break it to pieces by just running into it. Sofiel notices a downward slope about a quarter mile off and she hopes she'll make it before the thing chasing her caught up. Sofiel uses the last of her energy to sprint herself forward and then jumps as she reaches the top of the slope. To her surprise, the beast skids to a stop just before the slope, and Sofiel quickly realizes why. What she mistakenly thought was a slope was actually a cliff! She hits the ground hard and tumbls and rolls down the cliff. Rocks and branches cut up her skin as she continues downward. Sofiel hits her head hard on a rock and is knocked semi unconcious. 10 seconds later she reaches the edge of the cliff and rolls off. Luckily, the eastern ocean happens to surround one fourth of the Outer Edges. Sofiel hits the water and sinks underneath, she watches air bubbles escape from her mouth and the sun glitter on the water as she slips into full unconciousness. Reply to This

The rest of the day has gone quietly. No one really argued with each other and everyone kept at a distance. At least most people. The gentleman who lead Alecander to infatuation was in his own quarters and for the matter, so was Alec... in... his... own... quarters... of course. The red and blue haired charming, but solemn young lady who went by the name of Naimah was resting peacefully in her's. She deserved whatever rest she could get apart from most people. Fayme had been talking for Klaus for hours and hours and hours still. The conversation was deep and full of honesty. To its climaxing point, Fayme brought up the topic of Alcander. A someone whom over time had grown 'apart' from her, as she felt. And she mentioned the closeness between Lysander and Alcander along with that. It wasn't completing each other's sentences or any of that other romantic nonsense. Though seemingly platonic at the moment, their understanding was mutual. Klaus questioned whether or not Fayme was feeling jealous, which the Souther State lady flatly denied. Klaus chuckled at her quick answer. As Fayme recalled in her mental archive, the man had said, "We all feel that way with those who are closest to us. Especially when they find someone that begins to become closer to them. Its just how it is." In reference, he had used his relationship with his baby sister. And when all was said and done, Klaus left for sack. Fayme again searched for some sort of company. Luckily she had found it easily in the lounge where Lysander was busily gazing out the window with intenseness. "Has something bothered you?" Fayme asked quietly. Lysander jerked her head surprisingly and casually shrugged. "Not really. I have this weird feeling though. I thought I might asked Naimah about it, but she's probably asleep." Shuffling her feet a bit, Fayme even more quietly whispered, "I'm available for a chat." Lysander glanced with a questioning expression. "Why don't you join me here?" Fayme nodded and took a sit on the couch directly opposite to Lysander's seat. She twiddled with her fingers and looked around nervously as Lysander just sat there still in a questioning yet patient look; as if knowing what the woman would ask, but just waiting for her thought to be confirmed. With a short time Fayme broke the silence. "... So has Levin been behaving?" Lysander laughed almost loudly, but quickly silencing herself in order not to wake everyone else up. "Behaving? The moment Levin changes his proper, mannered disposition is the moment I question Klaus becomes asexual." she answered with a giggle. Fayme found it hard not to at least smirk at the slightly crude humor. "So," Lysander began, "You and him are close right?" "Close, yes. Paige and Levin have both been very close to me. Some of our older brother and sisters did not match the description of sibling... In my perception." "Hmm. Why, are they mean?" "Well... they surely rule with an iron fist. They take it after... my father. They were very close to influencing A-- Levin in that direction as well."

"Your father was strict?" "... In a sense." Lysander laughed again. "No wonder Levin's so uptight," she mumbled to herself. Her response made Fayme question the closeness between the two. Surely, referring to Alcander as 'Levin', this woman had no clue as to his true identity. Why did they seem close from her observations. It didn't make sense. A sudden flash of light made Lysander quickly turn her head toward the window. Hey eyes squinted at the figures flashing it. Red Fire Symbol and a Golden Halo... Lysander cursed loudly. "What?" Fayme frantically asked jumping off the couch seat. Lysander grabbed her hands and began running up the stairs. "We've got to get everyone up! Its the Malum Castodes! They found your aparement!" Unknowingly, Fayme began to quiver. How? Why? Lysander and Fayme ran up the stairs, stopping, then calling for everyone to wake up. They both banged on doors, but there would be no answer. With the rooms that were unlocked, items were scattered and the windows were broken. And each time at the end of the hallways, a soldier would break the glass of the window. The two would continue to run as Lysander would generate guns and shoot. And though it seemed like they could run and fight forever, their tracks stopped at the rooftop. The people welcoming them there actually made Fayme cringe. "You know, you're a hassle to find." said the woman with a sinister smile. "Beatrice," Fayme almost spat. "We've left the Southern State, why can't you just let me be in exile." "Well what punishment would that be? Letting you live when you've taken the life of your own mother?" Beatrice retorted fakely. "... You killed your mother?" Lysander questioned. This time Fayme did spit at her answer, "I DID NOT KILL HER." Beatrice shrugged, "Tell it to daddy, dear sister." "... Sister?" Lysander questioned again. Fayme looked at Lysander solemnly. "... I did say my father was strict..." Caught off guard the two were placed in cuff by Malum Castodes soldiers and were taken next the other two capturees. Naimah had a gash along her head that Zaniel tried to heal with his hands also cuffed. It was a struggle and the very sight of it made Lysander go into a vicious state that she began to find hard to contain.

"Now," Beatrice thought allowed as she looked around. "Where is the man of the hour... Oh, there he is!" She exclaimed as a figured opened the door separating the roof from the stairs. Zaniel, Fayme, and Lysander's eyes widened at the sight of a man adjusting the medals on his freshly polished Malum Castodes uniform. His hair was sleek and trimmed, and his demeanor looked serious, formal, and dark. Alcander smiled as Beatriced embraced him. "Younger brother. Everyone will be so pleased to know you're alive and 'well'." Reply to This

Send Message Delete "What the hell is this crap..." Lysander sputtered lowly. 'Levin' glanced over that the four in cuffs and bowed theatrically. "Allow me to introduce myself to you all." I paused quickly to look up at the four. Naimah had slowly awoken now aware of the situation they were in and just as surprised as the other three. Fayme had a betrayed look on her face while Zaniel continued to look stoic. Lysander looked carnal. "I am Alcander Felix Levin Joss Varian de Adir VII. I am 20 years old, the son of Leanne Guenevere Saya Adir and Commander General, Vladamir Ceasar Cage Lenin Adir of the Southern State Malum Castodes. I am a Malum Castodes Specialist..." He theatrically bowed, "At their service... Comments? Concerns?" "WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU GET OFF DOING THIS TO US!?!?!" "Now, Lysander, crude language gets us nowhere."

"FUCK YOU!" Lysander spat. "Answer my question! WHERE DO YOU GET OFF BETRAYING US!?" She yelled as a method of concealing tears. "I heard you fine, de Maino." Alcander answered as he straightened his uniform again. Beatrice glanced at the furious woman through the corner of her eye then back at her brother awaiting for him to continue. "Northerner, I am in no position to answer such questions." "How dare you... YOU LEAD THEM HERE DIDN'T YOU!?" Beatrice intervened. "Well, I wouldn't say that. You see, we were here in Levis city due to word of that man wanting to give information to the rest of you. Little had I known, the might Terentia would send a bunch of students... And it wasn't until a soldier reported seeing Fayme, Alecander, and Alcander alongside you all. I didn't question where Fayme and Alec stood... Or Paige as you may refer to him as. Whatever. Alcander told me he had been dealt with privately. And really, I questioned his position as well. Getting 'kidnapped' by that fugitive fellow--" "... Klaus." Lysander, Fayme, and Naimah corrected. "Yeah, him. Getting 'kidnapped' then coming out alive with Terentia? I couldn't believe my eyes. Nor did I believe him at first when I saw him. But this gentleman opened up family with welcoming arms into your humbled shack." Beatrice threw an arm around Alcander and another in to the air. By this time all four had mixed emotions of shock and betrayal giving a cold glare to who they thought was their friend. "Are we done here?" Alcander asked turning his back away from the group. "I await my room back home." Within his first step he sped around and dodged and oncoming bullet. "How'd you get out of your chains? Which incompetent bastard failed to turn on the cuffs?" Alcander demanded. "They're incompetent alright." Lysander snarled. She fired another shot at Alcander who grabbed a nearby soldier using him for body armor. It just happened to be the man that latched who incompetently latched Lysander into the cuffs. "Northerner, you must fight fair." "FUCK EVERYTHING YOU SAY! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!" Lysander screamed. She generated grenades and threw them at the Noble MC. He dodged them easily and vaporized them with his ki. "You disappoint me. I expected more fight from you de Maino." He sneered. Lysander continued to attack from all vantage points at least giving the fight a lasting time of 20 minutes. Left, right, and even up and down; attacks from both sides were made. Naimah cursed, "I can't teleport or anything."

Zaniel nodded, "My powers are gone too with these." he said as he tried to shake the cuffs off without much effort. Naimah looked over at Beatrice enjoying the battle. "You want us done with, why don't you just help your brother vaporize my best friend?" She growled lowly. The blonde female looked over. "It's not as much fun. I like entertainment. And I don't get to see my brother destroy the integrity of anyone as much as he's doing now." She smiled. "He's now aware of his status in the food chain... Unlike some people." She ended with a glance at Fayme. The two were still battling it out at the edge of the rooftop many feet above the pavement. A blast here, a shot there, dodge here, shield there. It was all back and forth until Alcander basted the concrete from under Lysander sending her into the air. "You didn't let her fall!?" Beatrice questioned shocked. Alcander had grabbed Lysander swiftly and pulled her back down to the roof then placed her on handcuffs with power sealing activated. "I could have easily let her fall, sister. The way I see this though, each of these fugitives have vital information for fathers plans. A good interrogation and jail time will do her service." Lysander was shoved with the rest of the group and all were escorted onto a copter on a one way ticket to the Southern State. -"... For a second that almost seemed believable." Two figures stood there in awe at the event. "Well he doesn't lie when he says he makes a good actor." "I think thats a family trait." "It probably is. He nearly blew it when he did that last move though, but I'll have to thank him for it later." "Obviously he didn't use all he had in him." "So where's the help you were talking about?" "Ah yes, two gentlemen with very good standings in my books. Come with me." Reply to This

Delete --Location: Unknown, Date: Unknown, Time: Unknown-Sofiel wakes with a start. She groans as pain courses through her body when she sits up. She notices that bandages cover her arms, chest, and on further investigation, the lower parts of her legs and her feet. To her left is a night stand with a glass of water on it. Sofiel takes a long drink and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. She grimaces as she gets out of bed, then limps to a chair in the corner of the room. On the chair is a stack of clothes, which Sofiel gratefully puts on. She limps as she explores the room. Bed, night stand, chair, closet, and a window. She looks out of the window and sees a man chopping wood. He looks to be about 5'9", is slightly tan, average build, with short, cropped black hair. Sofiel wonders how and why he saved her as she limps through the house and out onto the front porch. It's sunny and warm outside, it brings relief to Sofiel's aching limbs. To her right is the stanger, chopping wood. To her left is what looks like a forest, the tops of the trees blowing in the soft breeze. Straight ahead is, what looks like, the ocean she fell in to. Confused, Sofiel looks around more and sees the very cliffs she was running around on. Well I guess that explains the 'how', she thinks to herself, "but what about the 'why'?" She looks up as the sound of wood breaking stops. The stranger is walking towards her, a smile on his face. He reaches the porch and extends his hand to her. "Good morning. Glad to see you're awake. My name is Ray." Sofiel shakes his hand but then grimaces as the motion causes her pain. The bandages on her arms are visible due to the fact that she's wearing a T'shirt. Ray notices the grimaces and motions to some chairs. She sits, her relief visible on her face. "My name is Sofiel. Thanks for saving my life. How long was I out?" "Let's see, you've been asleep for about... four days now." Four days! Sofiel thinks, The Terentia are surely ahead of me, Inigo could've been found by now! She slouches her shoulders and puts her head in her hands. Ray sees this and wonders why. "What's the matter? You should be happy that you're alive." Sofiel looks at him and sighs. "I've been looking for someone for a while now. Trying to get to him before some others do. But now I've lost four days. He's probably already been found."

"Who are you looking for?" Ray asks, "Because despite what you must think, I have had visitors in the past, albeit only 3 or 4, but visitors nonetheless. Who is this person running from anyways?" "His name is Inigo. He's running from the Terentia." Sofiel says, looking at the ground. "Ahh, yes I know Inigo, but I didn't know he was running from the Terentia, of all people! Yes he passed through here about, let's see, maybe a year ago. He didn't stay very long. Left after only a week." Sofiel perks up at this, she quickly throws many questions at Ray. "Which way did he go? Did he tell you where he was gong? Was he hurt? Did he leave anything here?" "Whoa whoa whoa! Calm down! I'm not going to answer any of your question just yet." Sofiel bristles at this, "Well why not?!" Ray counts the reasons on his fingers as he says them. "One, you are still recovering from your wounds. Two, if I did tell you, you would go running off and probably hurt yourself. And three, you don't know the area like I do, you would get lost and probably eaten by a Yao Guai like you almost did four days ago." Ray looks at her while she proccesses what he said. Finally she accepts what was said and puts her head in her hands. Her stomach rumbles and she looks down at it like it's foreign. Ray stands up. "Look at me, forgetting my manners. Would you like something to eat?" Sofiel nods her head and Ray helps her to stand up. She starts to limp toward the door but trips, Ray catches her before she hits the ground, and against her objections, puts her arm around his neck and holds onto her waist. Sofiel doesn't like being this close to him but lets him help her anyways. He helps her into the dining room and sits her in one of the chairs. He opens the fridge and pulls out a tub filled with soup. He nukes it and then puts it into two bowls. He places one in front of Sofiel with a spoon and then sits down next to her. "Its Barley and Beef." Ray says, waiting for her to eat. Sofiel takes a bight, and then another, and then another. Both eat in silence. After they are finished, Sofiel notices that it's kind of dark outside, time catches up to her and she yawns. Ray helps her to the bedroom and says goodnight. Sofiel lays in the bed, listening to invisible crickets talking to each other outside. She tries to remember what happened after she hit the water, but can't get farther than the bublles from her mouth floating to the surface, and the sun glittering on the water. Slowly she drifts into a deep sleep. Reply to This

Zaniel was the first to be interrogated. "Zaniel Valentine Adair." Announced Alcander while staring into a portfolio. The last of the Coven sat at a chair across of the noble and 4 Malum Castodes guards. His head turned casually as a slightly older man with brunette hair was let in through the door. Mauren snatched the portfolio from Alcander and skimmed through, "I've been sent to assist you with the interrogations." "You all still don't trust me do you?" Alcander questioned. "Its been two days. I haven't done anything rash yet. I've come home, rest, eaten, bathed as if nothing had changed." He tugged back at the porfolio. The elder tugged as well in annoyance. "And that is precisely why I question you. I was not present with Beatrice at the time of your little show. As much as I try to test her judgement, had I been there, I would've known an Adir's true power from that of an act." He glanced at Zaniel, then back at Alcander. "If you find my presence threatening even though 'nothing has changed' perhaps this gentleman here isn't the one we should really be questioning." Even with a little reluctance, Alcander released his grip on the portfolio into Mauren's possession. He began to flip through each page. "Adair, last of a coven. I've heard your relatives have had connections to the Terentia. You seem like a sane man, Adir. We could make this end smoothly..." "I know nothing." The brow on the brunette began to furrow. "Oh do you? You've been alive for..." He thumbed through the files, "Nineteen years. I find it hard to believe you know nothing." "I know nothing." Zaniel stated again. Silently from behind Mauren, Alcander placed a hand over his mouth to cease a burst of laughter. Zaniel Valentine Adair was also a very quiet man. Reply to This

She tried to get out of his grip and he held on. The people in the interrogation room heard shouting from outside the room and opened the door to let the escort and Naimah in. "Get your fucking hands off of me!" Naimah said and socked the guy in the face. "Ms. Robinson...Ms. Robinson...calm down or we will have to sedate you."

"Why should it matter to me...I lost someone close to me I would rather just sleep." "You mean your little boyfriend?" "Screw you!" She said her leg shaking. They told her to calm down and they started off the question session. "So what are your connections to the Terentia? I know your parents were never a part of it." "My parents left me and someone who was part of the Terentia took me in...thought it was for the best...and I agree." "So being part of the Terentia you must have heard about the Poneroes correct?" Mauren said raising an eyebrow. "Possibly." "What do you mean?" "I don't know much about it...I don't know where it is and I don't know what it does." "Oh I think you do." "Excuse me?" "Don't act dumb you know exactly what I'm talking about." Mauren said slamming his fist on the table. "You know what if you're just going to insult me you can go fuck yourself while I go back to my room!" "You can't walk to me like that!" "Like hell I can't!!!" Naimah screamed. Before the guards had a chance to stop her she leaped across the table at Mauren and knocked him off his seat and onto the floor. Mauren tries to block his face with his hands but when he did that Naimah started hitting his stomach and then went around his head to hammer fist his face. "You fucktard!! I hope you go to hell you bastard!" She said throwing more punches. As the guards tried to come close to her she elbowed them in the face knocking them away. Reply to This

They were separated by thick pane of glass. No normal human could be able to break through with will power alone, but even so, they were able to communicate. Fayme looked at her knees and hung her head low. "I can't believe they attempted to beat it out of you." At the corner of her vision, Zaniel wrapped a spare bandage he retrieved from Jonah's belongings around his torso. The pain was evident as shown by the bruises. "I would not worry about this too much. They are only flesh wounds." He softly smiled then cringed at the stinging. "It could have been worse in degree... Much worse."

Fayme solemnly looked away as the male continued to struggle with bandages. Instead her attention was focused at another woman. She sat in the far corner. Her head was buried in her arms using the knees as a rest. She mumbled words mute to the other two. The doors separating the ward from society opened and Naimah was shoved through and back into her cell. Lysander quickly shot up from her position. "Naimah, what'd they do to you?" Alas, no answer received as the locks to her cell door were unlatched. "Your turn." Reply to This

She wonders, I should probably look around. Sofiel slips out of bed quietly, and grimaces at the pain. She can't believe so much of her body was hurt during her fall. At least my mask wasn't damaged, otherwise I would have to make a new one, and then Dan would've seen my face. If making a new mask isn't bad enough, him seeing my scarred face would have surely unnerved him. She puts on her coat and slowly moves through the house. She hears noises outside and creeps to one of the windows at the front of the house. She sees Dan, he is facing towards her, he's talking to someone but she is turned away from Sofiel. She tries to make out some words but only catches a little. Dan, "Look, she was in------- so I helped! Don't blame me just -------- you lost--------- it wasn't my fault. So why do you always have to be so------ around women?" Stranger, "You know this isn't about------ I'm just worried is all. The------- time someone came through he------- so you can't say it's just women I'm--------- around. Besides, ---------- know she could be lying about the------- looking for him. She-------- a Malum Castode in disguise." Dan, "And what if she isn't? What if she herself is from----------. And that mask? Don't------ know who she is? Even I know she's------." Stranger, "And what------ is? You know what------- to her if she is one. All I know is she--------- trusted, until we------ more about her. Now I have a-------- visit, I'll------- you shortly." Dan, "Before---- go, just remember why you're---- in the first place. You couldnt----- them alone and that's why I'm----- you. If not for me you---- a long time ago. You're waiting for when they------- the

most, and then you'll----- and you'll----- them everything. Just know, you can't----- two worlds at once. Don't lose your sanity because of this 'prophecy' the------- revealed to you. Stranger, "I know which world I belong to, besides, ----- wouldn't have wanted me to mourn so long anyways. It's time I-------- my life again. For her. The stranger walks off into the woods and Sofiel quickly hurries to her room before Dan catches her listening. Worried and curious thoughts cross her mind as she slips into an uneasy sleep.

"Naimah are you alright?" The silver haired girl says tapping on the cell wall. Naimah doesn't reply at first and she sits there upset by what happened and worried about what was going to happen to her...all of a sudden she feels a sudden pain and realizes they shot a dart at her. "Naimah are you okay!?" "I----." She said feeling dizzy. The room starting to spin as she tries to walk to her bed in the cell...she almost makes it but ends up falling short and passing out next to the bed. "Naimah!" Zane says looking over at his passed out friend. Reply to This

ink Reply by LC Thoma s Tristia n Lagma n on May 2, 2010 at 11:55p m Delete Interrogations done for the day, Lysander and the rest slept with bodies aching and sore. Quietly in his cell, Zaniel sat on his cold flat bed and closed his eyes. Breathing evening out, he slowly and quietly muttered some word audible to himself at most and soon, a warm feeling enveloped him. Slowly, his bruises faded and his cuts at least closed. Even with the power restrictor on his wrist, natural mana was hard to restrict. Concentrating more and delving into his meditative state more and more, Zaniel expanded his magic and let it flow into his friends cells; slowly calming worries away for the night and healing bruises and closing cuts. Zaniel? a call of his name sounded off from one of the cells. Yes, Lysander? he answered while still concentrating. Is this you? He assumed she was referring to the flowing healing magic. Yes. A one word reply. But? How can you? With the bracelets on, nobody is able to use their powers. Lysander asked confused and interested at the same time. Natural magic is hard to contain by mere technology. And yes, this is all that I can do. He answered her questions and more. If I use more than necessary, it will be harder for us. Even if we escape, we are outnumbered and right now, out powered. I understand but why didnt you tell us about it sooner? Eyes closed, Zaniel sighed. It was for safety reasons. I am pretty sure that there is a mind reader or two somewhere among the Malum Castodes. And since not everyone can shield their thoughts, I kept it as a trump card, you may say. Do you think well ever escape? I am sure we will. Just wait and help will come. And when they do arrive, I will know and I will release us from these cells.

When who arrives? The others. Zaniel replied. Youre being too vague. Patience, Lysander. Good night. Why wont you tell me? Safety. Now rest, we will all need our strengths for the following day or two. What do you mean by that? Lysander asked between a yawn. Youll see. Pleasant dreams, Lysander. You are too vague but I am tired. Goodnight. Goodnight. Zaniel responded back thinking it was the end of the conversation. Zaniel? He spoke too early. Yes, Lysander? He whispered lightly. Thanks. And silence filled the room. You are welcome. Sure that she was asleep, Zaniel finished up his healing spell and went to sleep as the others did. The upcoming day is one to be dreaded, he was sure of it. Closing his eyes, Zaniel drifted into a dreamless sleep. Reply to This

a m Send Message Delete It almost seemed as if nightmares had become a theme... Lysander had one of her own. Granted, it wasn't of the mysterious evil that haunted Zaniel and Naimah, but a dream that brought nauseating feelings nonetheless. It was like a reliving of everything that occured the past two days. Same events, same horrible feeling of betrayal. Similar to the ones she felt during the interrogation. ~~ "Who's next..." Alcander question in a low tone. It seemed like another statement than question. There were only two other people TO interrogate after all. It was already hard enough to face Zaniel and Naimah.... now... "Lysander de Maino." Announced one of the MC officials through the doorway. Alcander shot up from his seat. He shot a look at Mauren who had a smile plastered on himself. "De Maino? I've heard about this one, plenty." He said with a sinister smirk. Alcander clenched his fists as Lysander was pushed into the room with a blindfold on. "I'm already in hell, boys. You don't need to make it easier for me." She sneered. One of the officials unmasked her eyes and sat her at the interrogation table. Alcander sat quietly in the corner as Mauren did his usual performance. "I swear, once we get out of here, whatever idol you all pray to won't be able to save you." She joked cockily. He opened her file, "Lysander de Maino... 5th and last child of Christian de Maino and Deborah de Maino. Pleasure meeting your aquaintance." He said with a sinister smile holding his hand out. Lysander glared at his hands tempted to spit at it. Noticing this, Mauren drew his hand back. "Oh I forgot. You're chained..." He began to circle around her. "Little had I known... You, young lady. Related to those two. And hah! Your brother happened to be their first child... The first child of a de Maino, in the hands of the Malum Castodes... And now their last child." "What do my parents and Klaus have to do with this?" She questioned angirly. Mauren threw his head back in laughter. "Is this suppose to be a serious question?! You know full well your family had access to the Poneros!" It was somehow coming back. Mentions of it in text books not to mention the temple of light... "My family has nothing to do with it." She stated bluntly. Mauren cocked an brow. "They have everything to do with it." He said changing his tone to a serious one. "Now tell me, where are you hiding the gyre. Otherwise, we'll have to use methods that will make you talk. And granted your status, you won't get the same small treatment as your other friends. I get

what I want." "Well you'd better learn disappointment." Lysander smirked turning her head away. "You insolent ..." he gritted hit teeth the tugged at her hair. "I know your hiding something something! Tell me where the poneros is!" "Fuck you." She smiled with a spit. "Gah! Incompentent bitch!" Mauren shouted in disgust. He backhanded her. Lysander chuckled lowly, "don't think I don't see you there you coward..." Alcander swallowed and stood. "I--" He paused noticing the stare from Mauren. Alcander clenched his fist yet again. There was ten highly trained people aside from him... "You're all just leeches of your father." Lysander laugh. Mauren slapped her again and shoved her off the chair. "Beat it out of her." He snarled under his breathe. The offcials at either side of Alcander and Mauren went to her to give her the punishment. "Lysander!" Alcander called about to cease the order. His wrists were grabbed by Mauren as he was lead into the hall. Moments later he returned finding a battered woman on her knees. "I hate you... Rot in hell." She whispered with a laugh. The officials stood her to her feet and lead her out the door leaving Alcander still wide eyed. ~~~ Each beating still had its effect on her skin, even in her dreams. So when she woke up, it was in pain. Fortunately, Zaniel's remedy had improved a small bit. It was still limited, but the mental trauma wasn't as lucky. Neither was newfound hatred which was so dense that Fayme two cells away whispered a prayer. ~~~ To see her in that pain. The wishful thinking to take her place. To die for her. No, he portrayed cowardice. Mauren threatened to make her punishment 10 times worse if Alcander dared interfered. So he didn't. Just like the two other times he was threatened with the same tactic. Cowardice, he didn't save anyone... He was now branded an official traitor... Perhaps by his country... but definitely by the people he cared for... He hated himself for all of it. Only God willing would those four get out in one peace... And as for him... He wanted to drop dead. ~~~~~~ Do you know how long it took me to post this via my phone?! My hands hurt like a %!&(#!!
