Background Story

Year 3134, humantiy managed to advance more and more. When pollution darkened the skies and poisoned the waters. When food got rare and people fought over the tiniest of problems,it was a disease that united humanity.

Due the terrible fate that had befallen nature, the air and water, the food ,everything had become scarce and poisoned. Wars had taken away homes and left scars upon the soil. Nucelar waste littered the ground and one disease after the other washed over humanity thinning out their ranks! The fear and utmost chaos managed to force them to reconcile. The years passed by and the broken bonds were mended. With united power they fought of the and found solutions to get rid of the pollution. It would still take decades over decades for earth to recover and thus they also aimed to discover newer worlds. Moon was inhabited and so was Mars.

And so in year 3987, the earth almost recovered. However in this span technology overall improved and the curiosity of people grew more and more, what were their limits? Wars had stopped long time ago ,sometimes there had been simple protests but no more than that. In a secret facility, scientists discovered the secrets of psionic powers and managed to create a handful of subjects with wonder some powers! Unluckly for them corrupted coworkers leaked this information and people that wanted to abuse the powers,tried to take away the subjects...what happened? Who knows.



It is now year 3997 ,science is going further and further and people began to protest more and more. Information about forbidden experiments leaked into public! Rumors about monsters are spread and police and military move more and more often. Days are often filled with sudden PSIONIC ALERTS, an alert that is rung when a psionican is sighted. People get evacuated,homes destroyed, peace you once knew is over and this happens more and more often.

Overall Plot

The Psionic
You were born in a facility, hidden from the outside world, you wer eborn and raised there to a certain age(most likely 6-10), up to this certain age,your life was not always that nice. You were exposed to chemicals, perhaps even to other body enhancing experiments. You remember some of you lost an arm or eye, others grew wings, you too changed in a way. Many were mean and terrible to you, to most you were nothing. You only had your brethren and these couple of scientist. This one couple was different, they were kind and gentle and upon seeing your pain ,they decided to bust you out! Suddenly life was upside down! Right and wrong flipped and suddenly you had not only a name, but also a family and a future...sure medicine still was part of your life, but only to make sure you could live normaly. Some of you had suffered side effects, effects that locked the memories ,perhaps did worse. All you know is, you live a happy life but the current alerts may change them and you intend to avoid that!



Scientists
You are a scientist, you were part of the researcher group that created the subjects and you are furious. Furious for perhaps you are one of the two that busted them out and thus you are worried about your kids and furious at those that want to ruin your life!

Or you are one of the corrupted ones, and furious for your fighting power escaped, your easy money. Ah but anger is such a nice fuel in these past years, old researches were discovered and you preformed illegal experiments, the waste and failures were exposed and often escaped in the city, doesn'T matter though. You and the other created drugs and weapons to deal with the escapees and now it is time to get the prototypes!
Each of you may have their own reason,money power, eternal life?

You could always play something else this is up to you. But in generally there is a group hunting the psionics ,what their intentions are is up to you .

She was a straight A student and went on to duel major in science and medicine. She got her doctorate in both when she turned 23. She then followed her mother’s dreams and became a scientist.

While Angie had been off at school getting her doctorate her mother had gotten very sick. When she returned home she cared for her mother as she worked from home as a scientist. She was her mother’s nurse until she died of Angie’s 26th birthday. It was shortly after her death that Angie got an offer she couldn’t refuse. She was offered a position as a lead Scientist/doctor at a secret institute. After a couple months had gone by she had finally figured out just what about this “company” gave her the creeps. It was the work they were doing. They hadn’t told her anything about it just what she needed to do. They would sometimes ask her odd questions which got her to begin investigating. It was then she found the holding room corridor. Hallway after hallway of rooms of children being experimented on with her research her methods and her cures. She was horrified and decided she would free them. She had met one other that had approached her that night with the same goal and in the morning they vowed to release the children and take care of them. The head scientist had known about her curiosity and her investigations and had planned ahead by infecting the pair with a virus that would kill the “children” on contact in the most painful way. The following morning the pair freed them but at the cost of a couple that had been gunned down and a pair that she herself had killed while trying to get them out.

Dislikes: People being mushy, like love-birds or being sympathetic, being told no and authorities
Biography: Xavier was a street rat for as long as he could remember stealing as soon as he was old enough to walk. He made his home in abandoned buildings and has slept in parks and alley ways before. He grew up knowing and living in the darkness in the world where people are harsh and it’s all about survival of the fittest. He was fourteen when a truck came around that was feeding the homeless or at least that’s what they had said. The homeless were heavily sedated once they entered the truck and taken to the secret lab where the experimentation was taking place.

When he awoke during the experimentation he smirked before laughing. As his laugh faded to a light chuckle he found that all the experimenters were watching him curiously. The lead experimenter then flipped a switch and Xavier’s smile instantly faded before pain consumed him. His head slammed back against the standing experiment table he was strapped to and his back arched up and his muscles all tightened. He released a yell of pain deep and resounding that echoed through the corridors. His skin turned dark as ash and horns and spikes began piercing through his skin and splitting his skull. His eyes lost all color and giant black wings ripped out from his back spreading out to the sides of the table. The edges jagged and some of the thin pieces were torn or had holes. His finger nails grew out black as coal into talons as his shoes stretched and broke flinging off to reveal his new feet. His muscles soon began to relax as the experimenter flipped off the switch. Saliva dripped from his mother as he breathed heavily. His head hung low to his still golden hair hung concealing his face. There was a puddle of blood with pieces of flesh floating within it but he no longer had any wounds. He lifted his face and they only saw it for a fraction the pure white of his eyes and sharp fangs surrounded by pointed teeth before his appearance reverted back to his previous and he had that same devious smirk and bright red eyes. He then asked “are we finished here.”

He was then moved on to the assessment phase before being put in The Hunters care because he was the only one who could keep him in line.
Other:He wears a simple pendant necklace with a crimson stone which makes him have to follow any orders given to him from The Hunter. He cannot take it off himself only The Hunter can remove it.
Theme Song(s):Painkiller by Three Days Grace  

[The_Dreaming_Hero]

ON Angie's door she would hear a soft set of several knocks, made to create a special melodic pattern. It was one of Xhaiden's favorite things to do: drumming a rythem on the door. He would continue to do so until the door was opened. Oddly enough he would never use the bell.

The silver haired teen stood there with impatience, waiting for his 'parent' to open the door, he felt uneasy and unwell. His face was damp with cold sweat and his head felt as if it was about to split open by a the very pains and aches he felt. The voices of every person in the radius of 500m was driving him insane! It just made it worse and worse! He just hoped he would get his medicine soon. ever since a psionic attack had been sighted near his school ,he felt on the edge. Mum open the door....please

•°o.O⋖ⒶⓃⒼⒺⓁⒶ ❝Аηgιє❞ ⓂⓄⓃⓉⓎ⋗O.o°•

Angie heard the light raptures on her door as she sat in her living room reading over her notes to see if there was anything she could do to cure herself or help the children. She stood to her feet and closed the folder placing it on the table before making her way to the redwood door. Her home was an old fashioned farm house made of brick with hand crafted doors and window frames. Most of the tables were also hand crafted. She didn't even have to look through the peep hole to know who was at her door. She could tell by the rhythmic knocking that it was Xhaiden. She opened the door and smiled at him. "come on in i'll get your medicine" she said gently before stepping to the side to allow him to enter. She was always super careful about her positioning so there was no chance that she would touch any of the children.

Once he entered she closed the door gently behind him before moving into the kitchen. She got his meds from a cabinet that she kept strictly for the children's sake. She then poured him a glass of water from the tap. "please make yourself at home" she said as she met him where he found a seat and set the medicine vile and the cup on the table near him. She took a seat across from him and looked at him gently. "do you want to talk about anything?" she asked in a calming and gentle voice. She did her best to keep her mind silent and clear so he would not be bothered by her thoughts. Recently she had also worked out a type of fencing that would block thoughts from the outside if the child did not willing want them to be heard.

Alexandria Ray Anderson
╚════════.☪.═══╝

┣▇▇▇═─ Throughout the night Alex Ray diligently would stalk the shelves with dog and cat food, treats, and toys. She worked each section with precision and speed. Her co-workers compared her to many things, an ant, a cat, the wind but none could even fathom what she truly was if she ever told them. They were always so impressed by her small size and how her muscle was that of someone four times her size. Despite her strength the guys on the night crew would often take the larger bags of food and heavier items from her. She would always smile sweetly and thank them commenting on how sweet they were for helping her. When her shifts would end she would always have so many volunteers to take her to “breakfast” or walk her home at the very least.

As the sun began to rise she would always select her companion. If they offered her “breakfast” she would always take them up on it and they would take her to a nice bistro. She always had dishes with the most meat and ordered it rare as possible which her companion usually found strange but would only smile at her happy they were chosen. They would start a casual conversation with her always lending itself to find out if she was available and/o interested in them. She would always dance around their questions with ease keeping them wrapped around her delicate little fingers. At the end of the meal she would get something sweet to eat before allowing them to walk her home. Her foster father, Mark Anderson, would always watch her discretely from the window. The boy would never notice but Alex Ray always knew he was watching them making sure she didn’t feast. Once the boy would leave after receiving a kiss on the cheek Mark would come out to her and watch her for a moment, observing her before sending her inside. He would then head off to work. Her foster mother, Anna Anderson, would then greet her at the door with two glasses; one was a light red and the other a goldish green.

Alex Ray would sigh before drinking the goldish green which was to cleanse her system of human food by changing it into what her body required. It always tasted horrible and she hated to drink it but Angie had been perfectly clear with her rules that Alex Ray was required to follow. Alex Ray then drank the light red which was a blood supplement. It tasted bland and wasn't filling it even made her crave blood even more sometimes. She was then sent to her room where the windows were sealed with pure silver so she could not sneak out. Her windows were also veiled with black-out curtains that completely blocked out the sun. This is where she would reside until dark. Where she then would be bothered with precisely timed supplements until nightfall where she was allowed only to go to work or on her nights off from work to Angie’s.

.Jade McBrayer
╚══════.☯.═╝

Jade lived in a one bedroom apartment down the street from the library where Angie had got her a job. Jade hardly slept so she was always up late and up just before the sun. She would spend this time thinking holding herself; pulling her three wings in close and wrapping them around herself as visions of the past plagued her mind. When she did this her appearance would fluctuate between what she allowed the public to see and her true appearance. Objects in her apartment and sometimes nearby would hover in the air. That would be how she would spend the early mornings and the late nights before the light of the moon or the early morning sun would push back the darkness.

She breathed heavily as the sun washed over her and the floating objects settled back down into their places. She stood to her feet slowly as her wings spread out. Her image in the mirror was pale and her eyes were surrounded by shadows from lack of sleep. Her whole image was dark and depressing before she would bend the shadows and light around herself to hide in her “safe place.” Her skin was light and delicate her hair pure white and flowing. She wore a white dress and took on the appearance of an angel on earth. This image drew a lot of attention to herself but it made her feel beautiful and strong, like she could take on the world. She took a deep breath and left her apartment locking the door behind her. It was still early so the air was crisp and fresh with the scent of dew lingering. She walked toward the library which was just around the corner. Her footsteps were light almost non-existent as she seemed to hover over the ground.

She arrived at the library just before the head librarian arrived to open the door just how it was every morning. Jade held a light smile before greeting her “Good morning Kristy” her voice like a choir of angels light, gentle, calming, but also held an element of temptation. They entered the library and Jade would always vanish among the shelves organizing the books and putting away returned books. She would then head off to a corner of the library that was rarely visited and read. She would read anything and everything. She would perch on top of the bookcase in the corner in a vale of her own shadows bending the light from her image to see the pages. She would go unnoticed for hours before she would set her book aside and return to work like she hadn’t missed a beat.  

[The_Dreaming_Hero]

It was the same as always,Xhaiden thought to himself. He sat in his usual seat and pulled his knees up and hugged them tightly. His eyes glanced over to the vile , the medicine and he couldn't help but let out a little hiss. He hated medicine, but he needed it.

The teen sighed ever so deeply and closed his eyes when she asked him ,if he wanted to talk about it. No he did not. He didn't want words, advice or anything of that matter. He wanted affection , he wanted someone to hug and hold him. Someone that knows him from his very early beginnings. Afterall the scientists were the closest to parents he would ever have, after all they created him and took care of them. So in a sense he felt like Angie could be described as mother...

He slowly opened his startling blue eyes, then took his medicine and finally took them. Afterwards he glanced to Angie and decided to speak his mind. His voice was quiet and shaky and broke off here and there. "I don't...wanna talk about it...I wish you could just hug me then everything would get better...The other family...doesn't understand me...or when i have headaches they worry but they can't help! And...and i don't like them as much as i like you and...and...i am scared Angie....there was an attack near my school. there was a psionic...not a sibling."He paused to let this sink in."Not one of us....a new one.......i am scared....no he was scared."Xhaiden closed his eyes and grasped his head when he remembered the scene. The police forces and the psionic trying to flee. He had sensed the emotions and the thoughts. "So much fear...so much anger...and confusion...those attacks happen more and more often........but it was not one of us....."

A young adult with unnatural golden eyes and long dark hair entered the library and ventured through the halls. He ventured through the maze of knowledge and let his eyes wander about ,scanning the backs of the books ,one by one. Only recently he had moved into his own apartment and the television wasn't working properly yet, so he was in need of other means of entertaining. He hoped a good book would help him.

Jace let out a sigh ,when he was still unable to not find a good book. "Jeez ,who would have thought that this would be so damn hard...wish someone would help me"

Angie so desperately wanted to go over sit down beside him and pull him into her arms. Just holding him close and never letting go. His pain hurt her more then he could imagine and there was nothing she could do. She just had to be patient and find a cure but even if she did how would she test it to make sure it worked. She wouldn't put her children at risk. She refused whole heartedly that she would not let this virus kill another. As he began to spoke his words only deepened her sorrow but also her motivation. It wasn't until he began to speak of another that was not one of the original children that her expression changed from sorrow to confusion and anger and her mind was flooded with thoughts.

Just as her mind filled with thoughts and questions she stopped and took a breath settling the storm within her remembering whose presence she was in. "i'm working on the means to find a cure to my 'disease' and i hope that one day soon i will find it. We are working hard to solve it. I know your scared and you feel alone but i promise you will be ok... eventually some will grow to understand and then you wont have to be alone. You wont have to be scared because dad and i will figure this out." she said in confidence hoping that it would comfort him but she knew it probably wouldn't because all she could offer him were words. Hopes of a brighter tomorrow that may never come but she could not ever give up. She would find a way to help these creations she took part in and free them not only from their fear and their pasts but from themselves and the world around them. "I know it might be hard but do you know what happened to the child? Can you give me any detail to go off of so that i can figure out what their next step is." she asked calmly. She would need to learn what exactly was going on since she was no longer on the inside. Her primary goal after all was her children's safety and everything else could wait.

Jade heard a voice on the other side of the book case she had just started to go over. She listened to the voice the tones and the way he spoke. She couldn't place his voice very well but knew he was one of the children. That wouldn't stop her from hiding her true self from him. She just wanted to be normal. She shook her head as she put on a smile before coming around the corner of the large bookcase. She still had a couple books held in her right arm. "What type of book might you be looking for?" she asked gently as she took a couple steps toward him so she would not be shouting down the aisle. She mask was flawless perfect from every angle no one would be able to suspect her to be anything but human. The only abnormal thing was the occasional glimmer of light outlining her wings when she stood directly under and sometimes just passing under a light if they were focused on her. Though most people would see them glimmer outside in the natural light. Most would brush it off as their eyes playing tricks on them or that they just believed she was an angel because she appeared so perfect, so flawless that that was the only explanation they could conceive.

She held her position a couple steps apart from him keeping a formal distance like they use to in the older ages when there were ladies and gentlemen and anything but a hand shake was forbidden.



((Jace looks awesome i like that pic a lot. And dang his hair is long XD))

The medicine was quite effective and drowned out the thoughts that had bothered him ,it soothed his pain. The headache would fade away, but not the memories of the recent events. however before he could say more, thoughts in his vicinity filled the air and he flinched. His blue eyes wandered to Angie and he could sense a mix of emotions ,frmot he very thoughts that build up within her. But as soon as they had rolled in they vanished again and the boy relaxed. The boy was shaking lightly and suddnely tried to smile at his mother"I am sure..."He started to say"I am sure....you and dad will find a way. A cure.. a solution. You will , you always find a way out of though situations and then..then we can all become a real family,right? Then we don't need to hide anymore."He didn't want anyone else to understand him ,all he needed were Angela and Jake. He did not want anyone else in his life , in this point he was very ,very selfish. Something that did not change yet.

"I want us all together...and away from scary things" Xhaiden ruffled his silver hair and then tried to think back to the recent events, did he really have to tell her? she had asked and to refuse to answer would be very impolite of him."the other one...the foreign kid...he was older than i"Xhaiden started to explain." Older and different, i sensed...no i saw his life flash in fornt of our eyes. The kid was born..normaly...but then he was dragged somewhere...the labs...i remember seeing the labs in his panicky mind....and then there were flashes of pictures...the experiments ..."He frowned deeply and held his head. "The other one was controlled by the very own powers he possessed and went rampant, the special forces captured him and then there was...silence...Silence form him but the thoughts of the crowd doubled over...Then i called sick today and did not go to school."

The young adult kneeled in front of the shelves, his eyes busy with reading the labels of the books,when a female voice reached his ears. He blinked at the delicate sound of the voice and slowly rose to his full height. He was quite tall and she,so he had to admit ,was quite beautiful. Jace gave her a gently smile and glanced at her with his golden soft gaze. If he remembered then it was not evident."I must admit..i have no clue what i am searching for. "He said in a shy tone. "I simply started an aimless search ,in order to find a book to entertain myself during dead dark hours...The books i ever read were school books when my parents tutored me at home"He admited with a smile. then he held out a hand to her" I am Jace Kurai, and you are?" He felt draw to her, not even knowing why and whilst he may not remember her. Jade may remember him. The fallen Star, the one that was often sedated or fighting. He often had disputes with the other siblings ,mostly the males and among them the silver haired one,Xhaiden used his powers to fore JAce ot break his own Jaw. But this was many years ago and it seemed as if JAce had forgotten everything.

Angie smiled at his words. "yes once we find a cure we will be a family." she said. She had always been in Jake's debt since he saved her the night of the escape and also managed to get all the children to her place safe and sound which she was extremely grateful for. She had to admit Jake also had a certain charm to him that she found quite attractive but as of now nothing would happen nothing could happen between them because they had way more important things to attend to.

As Xhaiden continued talking she could see it was hard on him and just wanted to hug him and run her fingers through his hair and kiss his forehead but she couldn't because she never wanted anyone else to die in her arms. She continued listening, analyzing what he was saying and would have to talk to Jake about it to see what his thoughts were and also if he had had any luck with their own research. "i'm glad you called in and i'm glad you came here. Have you had breakfast yet i can make whatever you want" she said smiling hoping to change the subject and just let him relax.

Jade smiled with a light laugh at his words of how he just hoped something would catch his eye and it was just to pass the time. When he offered his hand she smiled at him lightly before offering her left for the always awkward handshake "My names Jade and sorry i would offer my right hand but its a little tied up at the moment" she said shrugging it to adjust the books to a more comfortable position. She even managed a light pink blush on her cheeks to give off the appearance of slight embarrassment for her in disposed hand. But no one would ever shake her right hand because she was always careful to have it full and nontransferable so no one would know it was a weird mutant wing. "Well if you have nothing in mind tell me what type of things you enjoy maybe i can think of a book that's up your alley" she said gently.

She kind remembered Jace from his battles with Xhaiden but not much about him in a personal matter. She knew him from what she had heard about him and from watching his fights. Other than that she had passed him a couple times due to the scientists moving them for their purposes. They had been "stored next to each other at one point but that was just after his jaw was broken and he was in recovery. He couldn't talk but she didn't mind because she sure he wouldn't have cared to talk to her. She soon began to wonder how much he remembered of his past but she dared not ask in fear of him remembering her true appearance.  

[The_Dreaming_Hero]

The young teen shook his head at the question,if he had eaten breakfast. How could he after such a sight? After hearing these things? At least he was calming down now ad his powers did so too. He jumped onto his feet and then xhaiden headed for the kitchen. "I would love something to eat, mum" He said with a smile. "Umm..shall i get groceries later on? I mean..um.." HE felt bad for just coming to get food without doing anything in return. It was odd to see how this child matured from a dangerous brat to a shy ,yet polite teen. "I could shop later and stock up if you want?"



Jace laughed heartily as he shook the hand of the humanoid angel."A pleasure to meet you ,Jade, ah but i fear i have no clue where to start?" He let go of her hand and rubbed a green mark upon his face. According to his behavior he really didn'T remember her at all. "What i like..huh...Stars. Yes i love the stars and sometimes i got such weird dreams...of caged and imprisoned angels and demons alike being freed by a childish hand..."He shook his head at his own word and rubbed his eyes.Without a word he produced a tiny vial with a clear liquid from a pocket and drank its contents, his very own personal medicine. "sorry that is not what you asked i think...Well i guess i like fantasy and adventure...and stars...Or maybe a story about someone longing for freedom?"


The scientist known as Jake Zephyr made his way to the household where Alex Ray Anderson was residing. The scientist had decided to check up on some kids ever since the weird psionic attacks had happened. He feared one of them may have lost grasp of their powers, but maybe he was wrong. He had already checked up on Jace, who still had no memories and he knew that lil' Xhaiden was clingy as ever. HE already lived near Jade so he doubted she could have caused any trouble and thus just to make sure,but mainly cause he was worried,he would visit Alex Ray.

Angie smiled before she put on her gloves and began making everything pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs. She made a feast for two which she loved to do. she enjoyed cooking and even more she loved having someone to cook for since it had been a while since her parents passed. Her father had passed away while she was still at the facility and she never even knew. It pained her to think of it so instead she thought of the hear and now and the sweet child in her presence. "that would be wonderful. i"ll prepare a list after breakfast and if you didn't want to go on your own i wouldn't mind an outing it will be fun to spend time with you outside this house." she said smiling at him before returning to cooking. "In the mean time would you set the table you should know where things are by now and feel free to help yourself to whatever you would like to drink, i've got plenty in the fridge." she said as she was finishing up that pancakes.

The fridge was stocked with sodas, juices, milk, tea, sweet and unsweetened, and powerade and of course bottled water. She soon began plating the food and displaying it on the table. She then poured herself a glass of orange juice. She watched him for a moment "go ahead and grab whatever you like there's plenty" she said before loading up her own plate after him.

┣▇▇▇═─ Alex Ray flopped on her bed kicking off her shoes which made thunk sounds on the floor before they settled. She released a sigh and tried to decide what she wanted to do first. She always felt like Rapunzel trapped up in a tower alone. Maybe that was the reason she flirted with some many people but she didn't care what the reason was she found it entertaining and loved the attention. She rolled over onto her stomach listening as she heard her step mother moving around the house below cleaning talking on the phone and just doing her daily things. Alex Ray sighed again before reaching over and grabbing the remote control to her television. She flipped it on and turned on the movie Dracula. It was one of her favorites maybe because it was to close to herself if anyone ever knew.

She tossed the remote aside and watched changing positions every ten seconds it seemed before she rolled her eyes and looked at her black out curtain. She slid off her bed and moved over to it. She moved the curtain gently so the sun touched her skin it burned but it was a lot slower than it was compared to the movie. It wasn't an instant thing but over a minute her flesh began to do the same as Dracula's. She released the curtain rolling her eyes before plopping back down on the bed.

Jade watched him curiously and almost appeared relieved that he didn’t remember before he began to talk about the past. Her smile faltered for a second before she played dumb and looked at him curiously with a tint of worry. She watched him drink the vile and didn’t understand. She began to wonder if it was. She thought it might be something that suppressed his memories or something that legitly made him forget or even distract his mind by making it focus on the here and now. She then wondered if her presence and their past acquaintance trigger a relapse. Either way it didn’t matter her past was safe and her secret unknown. She was one of the few that wished to remember. Angie had pleaded against it based off on how Jade was but her heart was set on it she wanted to remember she had to remember it was all she had all she knew and to her all she was.

She giggled slightly as he spoke again finally answering her question this time before thinking and remembering what serious she had just finished. “Follow me I have a good serious you might like then. It’s called the Hunger Games. It doesn't have much to do about the stars but I think you’ll find it a good read. It’s a three part serious so it will give you a good amount of time that needs killing” she said as she stopped before a book self and pulled the first one out like she had just placed it. She didn't have to search for it she knew exactly where it was. “As for the stars I find any astronomy book fascinating.” She said holding out the book to him. “I would be more than happy to pull a couple other books for you if this doesn't meet your interest” she said smiling at him.  

[The_Dreaming_Hero]

Xhaiden smiled and laughed happily as he helped out.He was glad that he could help,so at first he assisted with cooking,but then would prepare the table ,place the plates,spoons,knives and forks and then bring the beverages. He mainly chose juice, he was no big fan of soda, he would always complain about its sweetness.

Once the food was done and good,he would load his plate with a bit of everything and without really noticing,devour his food. Now he felt how hungry he was!
"I would love to go shipping with you,mum!"

JAke would find himself in front of the door and glance up to Alex' room, the curtians were as dark and black as ever. However he would gently knock at the door and wait for a reply.

Jace rubbed his jaw lightly, he had phantom pains,but they usually subsided after taking his meds.After JAde pointed a book out, he would gently take it from her and then give it's back a quick good read, however his ears perked up when she spoke about an astronomy book. "This one is well but...do you know some astronomy book? I got plenty of time to read more than one book alone." He said to her in his usual gentle tone.

Angie watched him happily before digging in herself. She greatly enjoyed Xhaiden’s company and loved how happy he was in hers. Once they had finished eating she began putting away the leftovers before cleaning up the dishes and putting them in the dish washer. She then glanced over what she had in stock and began creating a shopping list. “Are you ready to go? You can also pick out something special for lunch if you like” she said smiling happily at him as she grabbed her keys. With that she headed out to her truck locking the door behind them. Her vehicle was a full sized truck with a full cab and a full bed and a large trailer hitch on the back. The color was a deep blue which was a classic for farmer’s trucks in her opinion.

Angie climbed up into the driver’s seat before starting the engine. “When we get back we can pick some fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden” she said before they headed for the store. She hadn’t forgotten that he was basically skipping school and that she was in a way supporting that behavior but given the circumstance she wasn’t going to make a big deal out of it.

┣▇▇▇═─ As Jake knocked on the door soft music could be heard. It was shortly after he had knocked that Anna, Alex Ray’s step mother, opened the door with a warm smile. The house smelled of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and the air was warm from the oven. The rooms were lit with natural light and were cozy and homely. “Mr. Zephyr what a pleasant surprise. Come right in and make yourself at home” she said opening the door wider and waving him in. “Can I get you anything to drink? I’ve also just made fresh cookies if you would care for some” Anna offered kindly. She was always the gracious host. She had closed the door gently behind him before moving into the living room.

Alex heard the door open and jumped off her bed opening her bedroom door a crack, her bright reddish pink eyes peeking through as they locked onto Jake. She was surprised slightly but happy to see him for a change from her normal boredom. Her step parents always believed her to go to sleep when she got home from work but she rarely did. She closed the door softly before switching her movie to Pan’s Labyrinth. She then jumped onto her bed and got comfortable as she waited for Jake to come up. She hoped he was here to see her even if he wasn’t he would at least come up and see how she was doing.

Jade watched his movements closely but discretely. When she wasn’t looking directly at him she would feel his shadow which allowed her to see what positions he was in of how he was moving without having to watch him. She did this with everyone and even when she was alone she would feel the shadows to know what was going on around her. She smiled when he perked up about the astronomy books and nodded. “We have some really good ones here” she said as she pulled the other two books to the Hunger Games trilogy. She added them to the stack in her right arm before turning to face him. “The astronomy sections over this way” she began to say as she led him over. “We have some really interesting ones about the constellations, a star’s life span and what all happens to them along with the types of stars there are. We have ones that talk about the entire galaxy and the mysteries it holds as well as more specialized books that feature certain topics. They can range from the stars to planets to their surroundings pretty much anything you can think of. Do any of these peek your interest?” she asked as they arrived in the astronomy section. She then turned to face him at this point and there was a light in her eyes that wasn’t part of her manipulation. It was pure joy and excitement because books were a true passion of hers.
