Welcome to Gaia! ::

Juliana took the drink from him with a polite nod in thanks. "Well, if you must know Monsieur this is.." She stopped, looking up at Jack with an eyebrow raised. They had not set names for themselves, though they should have, so she did not know what to call him. Jack cleared his throat before giving a slight bow. "I am Sir Nerd," he grinned "and this is Lady Diamond." Sophia gave a curtsy while Juliana rolled her eyes at Jack's name. Of course he would name himself that, though rightfully so. She had never met someone like him. The group talked for a bit, getting up to dance every once in a while, having fun. Another two hours had passed and the ball was still going. Juliana, however had to get back to work. "Well, I sadly must say farewell to you charming people. There is work that must be done." After hugging her friends, she turned to Mr. Mystery. "I have to say, you were successful in granting my wish of having fun tonight Monsieur. Thank you." She smiled, giving a last curtsy before leaving.

She breathed in the night air as she walked through the school garden. It was the quickest way to get back to her dorm. That, plus she wanted to look at the beauty of the semi-lit garden. There were beautiful trees, and flowers, the lights giving them a sort of glow.

She had been humming a little tune when she heard a voice call out for her. Surprise flashed through her eyes when she found it had been Mr. Mystery calling for her. She cocked her head to the side, about to ask why he was out here, when he offered her his arm and gave an explanation. 'Aw, what a gentleman' she thought, smiling. "Why thank you Monsieur. That is very generous of you." She hooked her arm around his and they continued walking towards her place. She continued to look around at the garden and even the shadows in which he mentioned. "If I may ask, where did you learn to dance like that?" She kept up a conversation, simply for the fact she found this man fascinating and charming.

(Ooc:Sorry for such a short post ><)

"Well, thank you mom" she chuckled. She blushed, while looking into his eyes at his compliment."You flatter me too much, kind Sir." She looked away then, smiling. She wasn't conceited, in fact quite the opposite, but it was always nice to be complimented every once in a while. She asked more questions as they walked, like if he was a student here and what he was studying. All too soon, they reached her dorm. It was on of the ones that was for one person and it was a little cottage. "Thank you for walking me safely home Mr. Mystery, I appreciate it. I do hope we meet again." She gave him a little curtsy before opening her door, ready to go inside and relax. Little did she know, that her life was about to turn upside down.


{Ooc: Lol, that's ok. I get distracted a lot too. Especially if music is playing as I want to sing with it}

His hand felt warm on her arm as he grabbed her arm. She turned to him with wide eyes as he started to sound unpleasant. She turned with shock as well as he called her by her name. She did not give him her name and she was pretty sure her friends wouldn't either. They knew better."How did-" she cut off as he pulled her to him, causing her to let out a startled gasp. The pleasant grin he had earlier, was replaced with a more harsh crueller one. She pushed against his chest, struggling to get out of his grasp. "Look, I don't know how you know my name or who you really are, but you best let me go." It'd be in his best interest really, as her family would not stand for this and neither would she. As he had not let go yet, she stomped on his foot, hoping that would loosen his hold. "Let go of me!" she shouted at him.


{Ooc: xD}

"I won't tell you again. Let me g-mph" she again cut off as a rag was placed over nose and mouth. Juliana struggled against him, pushing at his chest with the minimal space she had. She again stomped on his foot, but it did not seem to faze him. Her cries were muffled as she squirmed about, trying to get the rag off her face. She even tried going slack but even that didn't work. His strong arms her were tight and held onto her easily. Her eyes were wide as he talked to her, telling her to let go. Eventually she had no choice as darkness took over, her eyes closing as she passed out into a dreamless sleep.

Though she was passed out, she still fought against it. She had managed to open her eyes every now and then, trying to see where she was. However, all she could see was Mr. Mystery's masked face before she passed out again.

{Ooc: Lol. well maybe you are razz }

Juliana stirred as light hit her face. She fluttered her eyes open, wincing as the sunlight burned her eyes. She had a small head ache and she reached to rub her head, only to be stopped. She looked over to find she had been chained to the best post, her hands stretched above her. She pulled at them, struggling to get free as she looked around. It was a fairly big place and almost looked abandoned. If she had to guess, she'd bet she was in a warehouse. She was still in her dress and her mask was still on, though her hair was a little undone.

She looked to her right and did a double take when she saw a figure by the window. She could only see his backside, though she had a pretty good idea as to who is was. "Hey!" she yelled at him as she still pulled at the chains. "Who are you and where have you taken me? Let me go!" Though she gave a tough exterior inside she was freaking out.


{Ooc: *Looks with wide eyes*}

"What future?" she snapped at him. Her thoughts on who this person was, was confirmed when he turned around and spoke. "You won't have one once they catch hold of you, I can promise you that!" He still spoke to her in that purring tone and though she had liked it last night, she wasn't liking it so much now. She wasn't liking him in general at the moment. As he leaned over her, she pushed herself more into the bed, glaring at him. She had stopped pulling so hard at the chains, needing to rest and regather her strength. Her chest was rising and falling with her heavy breathing and her legs twitched, wanting to kick this once kind man. "Who are you?" she demanded. If she were to escape, she would tell the police who this person was so that he did not do this to someone else.


{Ooc: Lol, that's alright xD}

Though he was walking out, Juliana had to have the last say. The last word. "In love with you? Ha! My friends and family are smarter than that!" 'They would know something is up, I just know it' she thought. Damn it all, she needed to know who he was so she could escape and get help. She pulled at the chains harder, ignoring the pain that came with it. She twisted in the bed and pulled herself into a sitting position, looking to see what she was dealing with. It was a chain that was locked by a key lock. Thinking quick she discreetly ran a hand in her hair, grabbing one of the bobby pins that had held it up. Though she did not know how to pick locks, she was going to try. She did not know what his intentions were, aside from the money, so her life depended on it. After having gotten the bobby pin, she straightened it out, putting it in the lock hole. Her hand was at an odd angle from the way the chains held her and crossed, but she could manage. She looked up every now and then to see if Mr. Mystery was watching her or not and after being satisfied he was not, looked back down at the lock.

It took quite a while, but success was hers as the lock unclicked. Looking up to make sure he had still not seen her, Juliana quickly got her hands un-chained and stood up. Her heels were still on, so she took them off, placing them underneath the contraption that had held her. Quietly, she started walking towards the door he had not gone out of, making sure to keep hidden behind whatever was available.

{Ooc: I'm sure it does. Luckily I am not in school. Yet.}
