Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aremis felt bad. Here was this angel of a girl that had just used her energy to heal his wounds and he failed to say anything acceptable. He really had to work on his small talk with girls. It was really pathetic. He took his hand off her shoulder as she asked, no need to mess things up anymore or be even more awkward. He was just concerned, that's all. He sat on his shins with his hand in his lap waiting for her to regain her strength. He would offer to carry her, but that was obviously out of the question. I would probably drop her anyways. That would not make for a good first impression.

"Is there anything I can get you, although I have little to offer besides my strange sense of humor. Oh and self inflicted pain, I got a lot of that. And self-inflicted humiliation. I'm pretty good at that as well." He smiled an uneasy smile. It was sad how much of the truth he was telling. It was ALL true. Wait, besides telling the sad, but honest truth, did I just talk to her without stuttering and with a sense of coherent thought? I just made progress! It was definately a first, probably driven by him feeling the need to comfort her.

Melody walked out of the trees that were surrounding Ria high, and glanced around to see many more trees, plants, and flowers around in the area. 'Is this it?' She thought to herself as she took a few slow and careful steps forward, now looking at the ground to make sure that there was nothing in the way to trip her.

"Ahhhhhh!" Melody yelled as she looked up to see an android like person standing right in front of her. "Wow you scared me!" She said looking at the machine.

"Welcome to Ria High School please show me your acceptance letter so I may give you your student ID." The android said in a mechanic like way. Melody looked at the android with a confused face, than as if a light bulb had just went on in her head, she started patting the pockets of her favorite torn up black jeans. Finding nothing, Melody let her small purple backpack slide of her back and plop onto the ground with a soft thud, and started searching through her few possessions to find a grey, crumpled, torn up piece of paper that she finally handed to the android.

Melody waited as the android took the crumpled acceptance letter, and finally gave her a student ID that she glanced at once and threw into her backpack. She picked up her bag and walked over to the near by table picking up to school maps, slipping one into her backpack and opening the other to figure out were she was supposed to be going.

Melody stared at the map for what seamed for like hours before she figured out that it was upside down. 'Way to go genius.' She thought as she turned it around to the right way, and began to study it again. She felt the wind blow her long white hair back, and felt the warmth of the suns rays on her back. She became so lost in trying to memorize the map that she didn't even notice all the commotion beginning to go around her, until someone knocked her down making her fall on her butt.

"Hey what was that for?"She said as the guy bent down and picked up a black ring that was laying beside her. She looked over at the group of the people surrounding the... 'Was that the android? Did he do that?' She thought now returning her attention to the guy that had knocked her down. As if finally realizing what he had done, He started to apologize than held out his hand helping her up. Melody brushed some of the dirt off her jeans, and listened to what the guy was saying.

"Welcome to the school, you might do well to ask one of these androids for more information, I just got here myself. My name's Kreig, Kreig Korwytch. And I also have another friend who should be along any minute now. I, uh, kinda got ahead of her coming here."

"Its ok Kreig." She said pushing some of her now tangled hair out of her face. "I'm Melody Belikove" She added now noticing that when he pointed in the direction of where he came from, a swirling pattern was shown in the suns light. "Whoa what was th-" She started to say quietly, before cutting herself off not wanting to seam rude.

Sapphire ran after Kreig towards the gates. He was surprisingly ahead of her. She followed his trail as he tore through people. Throwing slight apologies on her way. "I'm sorry." "He didn't mean that." "Oh, are you okay?" She was saying in passing. She kept running and apologizing for him. She stopped to help some girl up, making sure she was okay. The moment the girl was finally all settled she turned and started running again.

"Holy..!" She yelp actually jumping over someone. Then, of course, she hit someone else, an innocent by stander, walking by. She fell over him and landed flat on the ground on her bad knee, cutting it wide open. "Son of a..!" She cut herself off by biting her lip. She had been attempting to not curse as much anymore, she wasn't doing such a good job.

She sat up and looked at her knee, "Ow." She said as she realized it was deep and bleeding a lot. "Oh I'm going to hit him." She looked up to see a giant crowd of people watching something. "Fight?" She thought out loud, not caring who was listening. She stood up slowly not putting much pressure on her leg. She walked up to the crowd the crowd and tried to stand on her tippy toes to see what was going on,but there was someone taller then her, about 6 something, standing in front of her. When that didn't work she decided she would move through to the front, "Excuse me." She stood as no one let her in. "Excuse me!" She said louder. No one said anything, "Efing Move!"

She gave up on being nice and angrily pushed though people until she got to the front. There was an android in pieces on the floor. She bent down to see the android was punched through the stomach, fatal blow.,, she thought. She looked up to see Kreig helping a girl with silver hair and elf ears. "What was that about?" She said out of breathe walking up to Kreig. She examined the scene and saw blood down her leg and a trail behind her.

Kreig turned four shades of red, not only had he managed to practically kill and on campus official, but he had also managed to hurt one of his few friends, too. He looked apologetically at Sapphire, unsure exactly if he had hurt her or if she had an accident on the way. Either way, he was guilty of what he had done, and he doubted any amount of magic tricks could change that. When he finally found words, he said, "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it... Whatever I did..."

Kreig shoved his hands into his pockets, still red with shame. He turned his attention back to the girl he had knocked over, who had began to speak. To his surprise the girl turned out to be an elf. I should really start to expect things like these... Kreig thought to himself deftly. Kreig looked down suddenly when Melody -her name, as he had just learned- mentioned his skin. Kreig took his arm out of his pocket, twisting it in the light, watching as the patterns under the skin reflected the light like tiny mirrors. He murmured to himself, "Yeah, it does that."

((OOC: Terribly sorry for the delay, I've been EXTREMELY busy, hope you guys didn't forget me already!))

TabStill a bit annoyed at the non-responsible robot who gave him his I.D. he continued to try to get its attention. Kroama, after all, didn't know that it was in fact non-human. He liked to talk to others, rather listen to others talk. He felt that when someone spoke it helped them feel better, even if they weren't feeling bad. He instinctively then always asked many questions and talked a lot, in hopes he'd allow others a lot more talking to do... the result is him being annoyed by someone who says one line, and then nothing else. Even more if that line isn't a greeting or farewell.

Tab"Ooooiii!" Kroama continued to say trying to get the robots attention, which seemed to be bluntly ignoring him and going on about its business, handing out I.D.s. Wait... am i a burden? That's probably it! She's probably so busy and i'm just making it harder for her. Of course she might want to talk but if she's this busy there's not much she can do right? He thought, nodding to himself in a satisfied way, the robot had already moved on to someone else. "I'd at least like to know her name..." He mumbled to himself in disappointment, though he was just satisfied.

TabKroama gave up with a final sigh and sat down on a bench near the gates, he was still at a loss for what he needed to do. He would like to find his dorm, explore the school... but he was such a social person he wanted to meet others and then explore with them. Even better if they were new as well. There seemed to be plenty of people around, but most of them seemed busy like the one girl, who he still ignorantly thought human, and he didn't want to seem rude. He just sat thinking of all this, pondering on what to do.

Kreig looked up at the two questioning faces, grateful for the change of subject, however much he hated the topic. Kreig never really liked when people mentioned the 'tattoos' under his skin, it made him feel set apart, like a freak. Kreig remembered when he used to love the attention he would get because of his amazing 'tattoos', when everyone would ask where they could get one. Of course, when news broke that Kreig was actually of a different race than humans, he was resented, cast aside. That past led Kreig to despise the moments when he was asked about his odd skin, though, of course, he had to answer.

Kreig finally stopped observing his skin and answered, "I'm a Kaitiff, a race almost identical to humans, except for a few key things. Such as my skin, for example." Kreig slowly rotated his arm to expose the twisting designs under his skin, "The swirls are unique to every Kaitiff, like a fingerprint, I could tell you all the science behind it, but no one wants to hear that kind of stuff." After Kreig gave his little speech he shrugged, then stuffed his hands into his pockets once more, taking the tole of a shy, passive kid once more.

Elizabeth approached the gates with fear, not for the idea of school; it seemed like a really cool place, it was more of her just being able to finally be calm and finally be able to accept her parent’s murder. After she found and embarrassed the murders who were her father's brothers.

"Izzy it's going to be okay, we'll find Sapphire and she'll help." One of Elizabeth 's older brothers said. Her three siblings had brought her here, her new school. She felt a strange normality of it, her two half vampire brothers, and her full human half sister Amelia.

Elizabeth sighed, finding Sapphire would be like playing Marco Polo at a public pool, but she didn't bother informing Brandon and Nicolai that. She had a feeling they would rampage through the school to find her and Emmy would be behind them only due to her human speed.

"I'll miss you guys, you know that." Elizabeth turned toward her small dysfunctional family. Her parents were gone, and all she had left was her half siblings, that she loved with all her heart. She stopped dwelling in the past, her parents were gone, but they gave her something great, people who could help her move on and help her understand her new world. Her mind flickered only for a second back to Ayden, one of her best guy friends back in Germany . He helped her the most, and she would miss him the most.

He was the one; along with Sapphire, to go to London to find her brother, to help take down her Uncles, and save their friends. He repaired her broken heart, and brought out her vampire blood. She would see him again, but for right now she was on her way to her new school and ready to do so with a fresh start.

"Yes." They all answered

"I'll see you guys soon okay, and I'll write all the time.” She looked one more time back behind her at, her small family, and smiled. She found her home.

"Promise?"

"Promise." With that she walked to the tall iron gates of her new school.

"Welcome to Ria High School please show me your acceptance letter so I may give you your student ID"

Elizabeth looked up to see an android smiling at her and waiting. Elizabeth froze for a second, suddenly lost.

]"Acceptance letter so I may give you your student ID." She repeated.

Elizabeth suddenly didn't know where that stiff was, she knew she had it but where did she put it. As she patted down her pockets her turned to her siblings who were laughing loudly.

"Looking for this?" Nikki asked, showing her, her papers. She cursed him silently in her head, with him being a vampire she wasn't sure he heard her or not. Elizabeth stomped over grabbed them and handed them over.

"Here you go." Elizabeth smiled, cursing her brothers out some more in her head; it was most surely their idea.

"Here is your ID card, have a nice day."

Elizabeth starred at the school ahead of her for a miler second, readying her body for her Macro Polo game she was about to play to find one of her best friends. She walked a few steps to find someone lying on the floor and a trail of blood. Not even 5 seconds and I find a scene? Great Izzy thought to herself.

“Wait…” she processed the thought. “A scene?” She smiled and looked up to see a giant crowd of people. “Perfect. Found her.” If there was a scene Sapphire was there, more than likely in the center of it. That’s how she is. Center of attention even when she didn’t ask for it.

Izzy ran up to the back of the crowd. She’s a little thing so she couldn’t see anything, but having vampire skills did have its upsides. She pushed through the crowd until she got to the front row where she saw an elf? No way. She thought to herself. There was a good looking boy talking to…none other then Sapphire! “Girls been here how long and she’s already talking to a boy.” Izzy shook her head in disbelief. “Sapphire!” She beamed. She looked her up and down and saw the blood running down her leg. “What did you do already?!”
