So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name...




After Angela laid down a coat of faded yellow, she began adding a bright cerulean for the sky, making huge, sweeping strokes that faded the color out down toward the middle of the canvas. She got a bit lost in the painting process for a few moments before stopping to stare across the lake. The first time she'd been here, she had met Kamil--it was right before the start of school. That felt so long ago.

So much had happened. Terrible things, amazing things. she wondered if the upcoming year would be as full of craziness and heartache. The craziness, she didn't mind. The heartache, she could live without.

The last time she'd been here was that time with Malade (ugh)...because of Abel. She sighed. Right then. None of that. She hadn't even seen him in weeks. He was probably off with Xochi somewhere or something. And Tarik was...learning to read. And Renivere and Misaki, she wasn't sure about. So..yes.

She took a breath and focused back on her painting. No moping or heavy thinking right now. Just art.

It was nice to be alone occasionally.

Well, part one of the plan had gone off without a hitch, but there was still a huge problem as soon as he got to the park. What now? The lizard wasn't really there, and if Annalie figured out that he lied to her, she would surely slaughter him. Her pretended to look around, still keeping the flower out of view. Maybe he should just give it to her now and hope she doesn't kill him?

He reluctantly went with that, holding out the flower to her, feeling absolutely ridiculous. This was stupid. Why was he even doing this? It was only out of envy of that wonderful couple that made that beautiful creature. As he was looking away from his fiancee, he spotted someone familiar out in the grass, painting or something. Things just had to get worse. That girl who beat him up and nearly zapped him was there too! He accidentally gripped the flower's stem with his claws too hard and watched with a frown when the top snipped off and fell to the ground. This... was a complete waste of time.

Angela was in the middle of laying down the base coats for the trees when something hit her canvas. She frowned slightly and looked up to see a really creepy looking bird peering down at her. It was a dove. She thought.

But it was kind of fat, and a little evil looking. She was about to shoo the damn thing off her canvas when it shook its leg at her and she noticed a bit of paper tied there. She frowned slightly as she reached to get the paper off. The bird looked at her like it wanted to cut her apart and examine her insides--which was more than a little weird. She could swear it was laughing at her, an evil little 'ho ho ho.'

As soon as she got the note off, she shooed it away and unfolded the paper. There was a simple message addressed to her, asking her to meet...someone...at the cafe. Okay. That was...weird. How the hell had that creepy bird even found her? She looked around and instantly saw the teacher who had taken a bite of her arm, standing not far away.

Narrowing her eyes, Angela debated going to stab him with an xacto knife. But...that would probably get her arrested. And fortunately, she had a weird note, delivered by a weird bird. She sighed and, keeping one eye on Ian, packed up her things. Carefully carrying her blank canvas, she headed for the cafe, giving him a wide berth, thought she did shoot an evil glare his way on her way out of the park.

Percy Mikelovitch

Percy wandered into the park, feeling uncomfortable and certainly not relaxed in any way. The day at the teahouse hadn't exactly ended well. Well, it had but... In fact, he had hurried away from there as soon as he could possibly invent a reason to leave, getting out of the situation as soon as possible. He had a date. As in, a proper date. With Susan of all people. Not that that was particularly a problem, it was just... yeesh. He had never thought that he would find someone who was actually interested in him... "both" of him, and frankly, he was really sort of terrified about the whole thing. She had even been interested in him when he was a girl... and well, definitely not interested in her. That alone made him feel like this whole thing just wouldn't work out, not to mention terrible in general. He didn't like Susan in any sort of romantic way when he was a girl, but he was definitely into her as a guy, but he couldn't look her in the eye as a guy or he would turn into said uninterested girl...

The color drained from his face. He needed to make a visit to his sibling... or just talk with him/her when he/she got back in town. There really was a simple solution to all of this, but he wasn't really sure if he wanted to use it...

Where ever the wind blows, you will find me...

-------------------------------------------------------

Storm had been walking through the forest for a good 30 minutes, hands shoved into his pockets. He was thinking too much and had given up on the idea of finding a good meal. Honestly he didnt even realize when he stepped through the trees into a clearing at the edge of the park. He blinked at the sudden change in lighting and looked around. He hadnt actually visited the park since he arrived at the academy and wondered why, it was beautiful and peaceful.
He watched as a random older woman speed walked past him as He stepped on to the shaded concrete sidewalk. A small thought passed through his mind and he wondered how many women or men like her he had seen throughout his years. millions he guessed. Never actually stopping to get to know them, them never stopping to get to know him. His eyes lingered on the woman as she turned a corner and a large tree blocked his view of her. He started walking backwards and the turned to walk straight when he collided into another guy. He sort of stumbled over the guy in an awkward sort of way, he felt like he was all too tall and lengthy. He was definitely NOT one of those graceful vampires you read in the books.

Percy Mikelovitch

Percy was still absorbed in his distressed thoughts when someone ran straight into him. Literally. He stumbled, tripping over his own two feet in the process and collapsing to the ground. "Gah!" He yelped in surprise. "What the- who the- huh?" He cringed at the slight pain in his shoulder before pushing himself up into a sitting position and turning to see just exactly who or what he had collided with. "Hey..." He blinked at the handsome blonde haired boy stumbling awkwardly in front of him. "Er... You okay? Didn't see you there, sorry." He rubbed his shoulder and shook his head in embarrassment. He must have been really messed up to not notice someone walking right in front of him. Then again, this guy hadn't noticed him either... Maybe he was deep in thought too? Probably not about the same sorts of things, but still.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Oh man, Sorry! I didnt see you either. Are you ok?" Storm said almost at the same time as the guy he had ran into asked him the same thing. He scratched the back of his head and chuckled inwardly. "Dude, i have been falling and tripping all over myself today, I really didnt mean to run into you like that." He offered the guy a hand up. He looked like a normal guy tho skinny and tall like him. He almost had an innocent look about him. He wondered...."Do you go to the academy?"

"A-ah, it's um.... It's all good." Percy grinned sheepishly. "I wasn't really... well, I wasn't really looking where I was going myself, and I'm not exactly the most er... dexterous person in the... in the world to begin with. I don't really think anyone ever ah, intends to run into someone else. Unless they're some sort of "ragamuffin." Not that you are or anything! It was just a ah... hm." He took the boy's extended hand, allowing him to pull him up to his feet. "I'm ah... I mean, if you mean Rosentale, then yes. I do happen to.... to attend. Although, not very many other places you really could be talking about huh? Not very many other academy's in the... vicinity. Nice place. Interesting classes." He hadn't yet let go of Storm's hand he realized. In an attempt to his this fact, he gently shook it and released. "I'm ah... Percy. Well I go by Percy. I mean, that's my actual name but... also, what I go by. I assume that, that you go to Rosentale too? I mean you look to be around the school going age and all..."

He shoved his hands into his pockets. Hopefully this guy had a special knack for linguistics, because it would probably take several years of code cracking classes to decipher the gibberish that had just flowed out of Percy's mouth. He resisted the urge to blush, as it sort of felt unmanly to him, and at the moment, that was a fairly serious thing to be feeling. Honestly, couldn't he just make a straight, clear sentence once in his life? Not around new people he couldn't.

-------------------------------------------------------

Storm looked the guy over and a small smile started spreading across his face. He helped him up and they shook hands. By the time the guy was done rambling storm had a devious smirk going on. The only other person he had met that talked this much was kasie and Storm had liked her. The guy seemed oddly unsure of himself, Storm was determined to help him relax.

"Percy? Percy! I knew a guy named percy once, he was a wild man once he got a few drinks in him of course. i wonder if your the same way...Anyways Nice to meet ya, My name is Anthony Storm Dayton jr. But everyone around here calls me storm. I DO in fact go to the same school, but dont let my looks fool ya... I am indeed older than i should be."

Storm wondered what abilities percy might have that he would be going to the academy. He also wondered why he was so uneasy. It was a sort of awkward way to meet one another.

"would you like to walk and talk?" he offered.

Percy Mikelovitch

Percy blinked in surprise. "Er... I actually wouldn't know. Sort of... not old enough to ah... well, drink and all of that. I mean, it's possible, but I sort of... um, are you?" He shoved his hands into his pockets. "I mean, you... How much older? You certainly don't look ah... look that old." Did Storm mean like, immortal older? Or "I got held back a few grades" Older? Percy wasn't really sure, and he was even less sure if that was the sort of thing that was acceptable to ask about.

"Er... Sure. We can... do that." Percy shrugged at Storm's offer. "I don't ah, don't really have much going on at the moment... Storm... Man, quite the name there. I wish I was so lucky, my middle name is Bob. Not exactly the most... ah, epic of titles, though I suppose Percival Robert Mikelovitch sounds sort of light a medieval knight... or a modern one, doesn't really have to be... medieval. So Storm, have you been going to the school long? I don't think I've ever really seen you around..."

-------------------------------------------------------

Storm chuckled softly at the guy when he commented on not being old enough to drink. he amused storm in an odd sort of way. His way of rambling wasnt like a stutter but it was like his brain needed to get everything out in a displaced sort of way, like when you skip stones on a river. He turned with an odd sort of step forward, also shoving his hands in his pockets motioning percy to follow him down the sidewalk.

"I am ... " He never liked admitting his age to people, let alone that he was a vampire..."I have been around for almost 400 years now give or take a few centuries. Im not immortal mind you, i just dont happen to grow old like normal humans.." He then gave the guy a cheeky smile, " Long names like mine were popular back then, which makes me have to say your name is amazing. I love it! Percival... probably from the Old French percer val which means 'to pierce the valley'. Definitely sounds like a knights name indeed. Plus iv always thought Robert sounds so Formal and intellectual." He gave the boy a cheeky grin and looked over at him for a brief moment before looking up and watched a few birds fly above them. "I have been at this school for a few months now, I had to go home a few times since i got here so its almost like starting over again. I dont remember seeing you around either so you probably arrived during the time i was away."

Percy Mikelovitch

Percy followed after Storm. He was an interesting fellow, polite, calm, and, from what had been observed of his diction, incredibly intelligent. He couldn't help but wonder why a guy like Storm took any sort of interest in Percy, who was just some random guy he had happened to run into... who went to the same school. Oh well, he wasn't complaining. Talking with the other boy was certainly a good way to distract himself from his previous distressed thoughts.

"Four... Four hundred?" He couldn't help but sound surprised. Who wouldn't? Not that he hadn't met some strange folks since coming to Rosentale, but he had never actually run into someone who was admittedly, remarkably aged. "Wow... ah, I mean, well... yeah, wow. I can't even imagine what being twenty will be like but... Probably got a lot of... life experience, being well, alive that long. So then, are you a... do you teach at the school? I mean, I suppose you could be a student. I thought you... well you look young enough to be a student, but why go through high school again right? I mean, if I was immortal... er, if I aged slower than most normal humans that is, I don't think that these years would be the ones I would want to ah, well, you know, repeat. Not that it's a problem if that's the case.. for you I mean. To each their own or... something like that. You know how it... er... a-ah, so you had to go home huh? That's a shame. Or you know, maybe not, if you wanted to. I started going here in... spring? Yeah, spring, wow. It's been a long time..."

-------------------------------------------------------

Storm smiled down at his shoes at the boy being so surprised about his age.
"If i can speak honestly... Being unable to age like me has so many more disadvantages. Its like living in one century, taking a breath and your suddenly in another. you hardly realize the people you run into or..." Storm was reminded of the girl he had just passed on the sidewalk and of Angela and all the friends he has made so far, " Or cherish the friends you make in the process of living. I may have been 17 years old for 400 years but up here," he poked at his temple. " im pretty sure im probably only 24 or something."

Why was he telling Percival this? He didnt even like talking about this to Angela or Ayu. Besides he has just met the guy! Shouldnt that make it harder to talk about your life?

" But no im not a teacher. I actually have never been to school before. Not like this anyway. For the longest time iv been sailing on ships. You dont need book knowledge to tie a knot or fold sails... Which reminds me! If i may ask that is... What is your...ability? ya know, that allows you to go to this school. Iv noticed everyone here has a sort of uniqueness about them..."

Percy Mikelovitch

Percy felt almost uncomfortable listening to Storm, some guy he had just met, talk about his life, extensive as it was. Well, it couldn't have meant that much to him if he was saying it to a total stranger. In fact, going off of what he had said, that was probably the case. It wasn't like Percy would end up being a very long part of his life, even if they, somehow, became friends until he died. It was definitely something weird to think about.

"Well... ah, hm. That's... Must be weird, to be a teenager for so long... reminds me of a series of books I read a while back actually... They were okay, but the movies were, well, sort of rubbish. Not that I'm comparing you to a work of ah, fiction or anything. Especially not that one. No way. I just mean, well, if you could skip high school for that long, then why come back now? That is, if you don't ah... If it's alright for me to ask."

Storm's inquiry as to why he was going to Rosentale made him blush. And he had been doing so well up till now. "E-er, not ah, not everyone I think... I mean, I don't think you well, need to have some sort of... to be... to have some sort of ability or ah, or uniqueness to go to this school. I'm pretty sure I've met just normal... well, that I've met plain old humans since I've been here. I mean, not to say that... Well I do have a sort of thing... that I do... but I'm just saying I don't think you have to have a... a sort of thing to come here... I do, but I think... I may have... said that already."
