These Strangers Seem So Familiar.... Have I met them before?

[sukinamae]

Something light and rough brushed over her cheek as Namae slowly opened her eyes, to see that she was no longer in a place that she recognized, in fact she was not sure as to where she actually was at all. Looking up, she noticed that there was what seemed to be an abandoned house. It was quite large in size, however there was clearly work to be done in order to make it more desirable. Staggering to her feet, Namae looked towards the porch of the house before noticing something strange.

It was a shadow of some sorts, it was more of a figure of what seemed to be a woman. Trying as hard as she could, Namae could not make out the face, thinking long and hard she fell to her knees as she held her head. For a moment her mind blacked out into an empty space, looking around her she found that everything was black. Gazing on front of her a white path could be seen before her, the female figure stood there again as the face once again could not be seen; holding out her hands Namae began to run towards the figure, however, the more she ran the less closer she seemed to get. Instead all she could do was call out, this like running became a problem as the words would not escape her lips.

Her mind then phased back into reality, looking around her she realized the three figures laying next to her. She smiled as she looked at her two beautiful children on the ground, she then gazed on another figure, it was Veritas; he seemed fragile yet strong at the same time, that very moment made her realize how nice this was. What concerned her was why they were waking up on outside on the ground in a strange place.

~**Vixze**~

This Vitus character made Vixze extremely uncomfortable. She could not sleep, though she tried every trick in the book, and decided to take care of some unfinished business. This man wanted to meet her? Well... then she would give him what he wanted. Why did he want to meet her in the first place? What was so special about her? How did he notice that she was different than all the other humans that swarmed the room? All these questions, and more, flooded through the girls tired mind as she finally found the location Vitus had asked her to find him at.

Looking up at the large entrance Vixze stared wide eyed and seriously considered retreating back home. No. Clenching her fists and feeling her heart race in her chest she announced herself by knocking on the entrance and calling out into the darkness. "Vitus." Her voice was stronger than she anticipated. No sign of fear or intimidation found in that tone. She took a cautious step inside wondering who, or what, was waiting for her inside.

The door to Vitus's penthouse suite opened for Vixze. A finely dressed servant was there to meet her. He offers to take Vixze's coat if she's wearing one. He then bows to Vixze and motions further into the suite

"Mr. Vitus is in the drawing room, just down this hallway, first door on the left. Would you like anything for refreshment? Something to eat or drink perhaps?"

The servant was an older man, possibly in his mid-fifties. His hair was grey, but there was a distinct dignity in his manner. He seemed the perfect model of professionalism as he attended to Vixze.

The eyes of a man . . .

A young man slowly rolls off of his side and onto his back at te feeling of preassure against his shoulder. It felt familiar like it had happened so many times before. Flashes began to enter his mind, passing by within seconds and leaving him clueless until a single one held its place before him.

He stood there looking at the figure before him. He seemed surprised for some reason but sad as well. Wen he opened his mouth to speak he began to say something-

Another pair of hand palmed against him and shook him awake. Veritas' emerald green eyes took their sweet time opening up to greet the world around him. He saw them, his family. They had apparently already been awakened by his wife. Veritas could feel a preassure behind his eyes begining to fade away. Despite his urgent want to move at the moment Veritas held his place on the ground and sighed "What happened?" was all he said as he locked eyes with his beloved wife Sukinamae

~**Vixze**~

Vixze found the older gentleman rather strange and polite at the same time. She felt welcome in this house hold and she allowed him to take her heavy sweater. The room was warm and she knew she would over heat if she kept her sweater on her body for the night. She listened to his instructions as to where Vitus was at in the home. She heard the butlers question and she shook her head no in a polite rejection. After the man pointed her down the hallway she found her way there on her own.

Standing in front of a large door Vixze politely knocked on the door and then entered without a response. "You wanted to meet me in private?"

And They Loved Like No Other Before Them.....

[Highrum_Kaiser]

The notes and songs I play on this guitar

Dark hair furled outward across a bare back as an appearingly strong figure sat up in his small bed. A groan escaped the man's lips as he leaned to the side and popped his back. The matress he was on needed to go. It gave him back pain.

Highrum stood up with another groan, a habit he had built up lately. He walked out of the bed room to be greeted by another door and an opened end hall leading to the other room of his small apartment. The living room doubled as a kitchen in one corner and was seperated by a raised shelf that one might call a half-wall or counter. On that counter rested a paper covered in the scribblings of female names. He had been having dreams about a woman wo didn't have any certain features and it was driving him mad. He would spend a few minutes writing down names as if trying to remember her's.

But not tonight. he would have a show early in the morning so he had to be ready for the morning coffee rush. Highrum went into his bathroom and turned on the shower. He wouldn't be long and then he'd be out of the sidewalk at this ungodly hour with his guitar on his back.

Are not notes I play for myself.

As Vixze entered and announced herself, Vitus was standing at the window, his hands behind his back, surveying the neon landscape of the city. He breathed in through his nose and let out a sigh that seemed to hang in the air for a moment. He turned away from the window and began to move towards the comfortable chair he had been sitting in a moment earlier. As he moved, he spoke.

"I see your friend could not make it. Unfortunate, but not unexpected. What made you decide to take up my offer?"

Vitus took his seat and crossed his legs, resting his right ankle on top of the knee of his other leg. He folded his hands, watching Vixze very carefully, but not in an invasive way, more in a curious way.

[sukinamae]

(Hey guys, erm it would seem that only myself and Sephy are in the suburbs where everyone else is in the city. As it's so uneven would it be better if we were all in the same place? It makes it difficult to interact with others especially the new people. Although, Sephy and I could...... LOL ha ha you're all so perverted..... O_o)

Finally he had woken up, for some reason his overall essence was slightly dissorientated; this was to be expected as they had arrived in a strange place. The kids had no problem with the change of scenary as they had already begun to play in what would now appear to be their new home. When did they stop being so care free? It would be nice to act like the children do at times, however, things were not this simple. They needed to figure out where they were and how they got there.

Watching him stand, Namae listened as he began to speak. It was a simple question in heinsight, however, she was unable to give him a straight answer. "I don't know, it seems as though where in some sort of suburben area of sorts; the worst part is that I can't remember how we got here." Holding her head, her body began to shudder until she fell towards Veritas' chest. "I don't remember anything or anyone before we came to this strange place. I only remember you and the kids nothing more".

~**Vixze**~

[Yesh, I noticed that too Suki. I can move myself out into the suburbs or something....have my second job out there. Ill figure something out.]

Vixze watched Vitus's eyes wash over her. It made her feel extremely uncomfortable...like he was inspecting her. She heard his question about why she had taken up his offer and she shrugged her shoulders. "I am very aware that you know my secret Vitus." she paused coming further into the room. This man made her uncomfortable. Somehow this man knew more about her than anyone else. But how? "How did you know about me being partially demon?"

The room was extremely elegant and gave off a feeling of a old fashioned home from the decor. The furniture seemed very comfortable and the entire room gave her a feeling of welcome and warmth. The man in front of her on the other hand gave her a strange and uncomfortable feeling. He seemed like he knew her deepest darkest secrets. Something that was very unnerving for Vixze. The look in his eyes made her feel like he knew something that she did not know and that he could use that information against her. She had no intention of letting him get to know her any better than he already knew her. As she awaited his answer she jumped from her phone vibrating in her work pants. Pulling the device out she stared down at the brightly lit up screen. It had been her alarm reminding her that she had school in about an hour out in the suburbs.

"I apologize but I will have to cut this meeting short."

she said bluntly before he could even answer her questions. She then pressed the end button on her phone to end the alarm and placed the device back in her pocket. Cell phones had become a necessity in the human world and not to have one was abnormal. Since Vixze did anything possible to not attract attention to herself she forced herself to purchase the thing. Half of the time it did not work but it was great as an alarm and a way to contact people when she needed to get a hold of them. Staring back at the man she was almost relieved that she had an excuse to leave so suddenly. At the same time she was also not wanting to leave. She wanted answers. Now.

Vixze! You have to go. Now!

The voice in her mind urged her to leave immediately. It was not her own and she suddenly felt alarmed and worried.

"Im so sorry. I will meet with you again to talk." That was when Vixze turned to the door and quickly walked out into the hall. Near the front door she noticed her hanging sweater and grabbed it quickly before leaving the building.

For some strange reason the voice in her mind had been a male voice. A familiar voice. It was almost as if someone had been watching over her. Now she was on her way to school extremely creeped out by the meeting with Vitus. Forty minutes later Vixze arrived at her school called Wright College and took ten minutes finding a parking space. Leaving her car behind her she walked inside the building and into her social science class on the second floor. She had a seat in the back of the classroom and she received the usual strange looks for her attire. After all she had been wearing dressy black work pants and a nicer shirt for work after her class let out. The next hour and a half went by quickly with taking notes, a video, and some reading. It was not a bad class just a lot of homework and memorizing.

As soon as the teacher allowed the class to end Vixze exited the room, returned to her car, and started to drive to her second job. She would work until ten tonight and then return home in the city. Looking down at her gas she noticed that she would have to get gas the next day. She was running lower than she had anticipated. Pulling into the parking lot Vixze sighed before exiting the car. Her knees and feet were going to kill her by tonight. It would be a busy night since it was a Friday night. Thankfully she would not have to work here over the weekend when the restaurant was at it's busiest. Once inside she clocked in and got down to work.

Sure enough, six hours later, Vixze left her job exhausted and in pain as she predicted. She also had a newspaper in her hand with various highlighted circles. The girl had been thinking about moving for months and had grown tired of all the wasted time and gas on her commute to work and school. She had found ads for available, and affordable, apartments in the suburbs. The only comfort was that she could go home and sleep and that she would make a decent amount of money on her paycheck. Once home Vixze walked inside her apartment building and slowly ascended up the long stair case to her apartment. Inside she removed her sweater and her dressy shirt, that was now stained from food, and headed to the bathroom. Outside the bathroom door she removed her shoes and socks then let her hair down. Her only intention was to take a hot shower and then head to bed for a long deep sleep.

The shower had done her wonders but now she was even more sleepy than before. Walking into her bedroom she placed her cell phone out on her near by corner table and climbed into bed. Moments later her eyes were closed and the covers were over her body. She was dead to the world.

[See! I told you I would fix it!! ^_^ ]

---------------------------------------->NEW ANNOUNCEMENT <------------------------------------------

[Veritas Airieth]

((our time didn't match up with everyone's O_o I had to fix it! lol))

The eyes of a man . . .

Veritas caught Namae and held her softly as he looked to the house. He had to step up here and do what he must "Alright!" Veritas looked at his wife and then his children "We'll stay here for the night and tomorrow I'll try to find some things out about where...and possibly when we are" The children laughed and ran into the house.

Veritas on the other hand didn't move at all. He didn't know what was wrong...but there was deffinantly something wrong. He remembered them. Highrum...Ceras...a few others. He remembered a number of people but if Suki didn't then chances were that those people didn't either. And even then Veritas could tap into his power anymore. He had tried when he woke up.

As Veritas lead Namae into the house he mentioned them having a long talk after the children were asleep. He woulld tell her everything.

~~~~

It seemed like so long ago that they had come here. Veritas leaned back on the couch and looked at Namae beside him. After that night it had been found out that they were in the human world and that was about it really. They were outcasts here and even then they had a ransacked home for a living place. Veritas went to work with their son and fixed the place up. A few neihbors even helped in the process. Now they were living like normal people. The kids were in school and everything.

Well, at the moment Lucrecia was asleep and Veritas was probably blasting music into his headphones so they had the house to themselves. Veritas looked over at Namae and smiled "Have I told you that I love you and how great you are today?"

(( Seeing that no one was taking my hint that they may get a letter from my first post I guess I'll take my own initiative and throw myself into the rp. ))

Yamato awoke to the thin beams of sunlight slowly starting to creep their way over the horizon. He watched this silently and without any movement on his part. He had not awoken this early in a very long time. Somewhere deep within him a yearning for freedom was felt for the first time since he had been locked up in this place. He wanted to simply get onto the highest hill he could and watch the sunrise. As he thought about this he easily broke the restraints that were supposed to hold him down and keep him there. Then as he rose he stared at the wall that kept him from his freedom, and then felt the dark, and coolness of his demonic side start to flow over him and then rammed his fist straight into the wall. His punch had made a large hole that he could easily escape from. He then leapt out the hole and onto the large grass expanse before him. As he hit the ground he was already in his demon form and began to run towards the hills.

Yamato was slightly thrown off by how close to humans the facility truly had been. The moment after he had leapt over the fence that enclosed the facilities property he found himself within a mass of houses. It was still early so he was sure that not many people would be awake so staying as he was would not cause a commotion. He quickly dashed silently, and lightly rooftop to rooftop until he was past the houses and was dashing through a field. After a few more minutes of running he found himself on a hilltop and there was where he shifted back to his human form and was down to his pants solely. He sat down and quietly watched the sunrise wondering what the day would bring to him.
