"Oh...uh...haha...am I?" Angela asked, flushing. "N-no real reason." Okay, Angela, you can wipe the stupid grin off your face anytime now. Idiot. It was nice to know she was quietly fulfilling every single romantic stereotype known to man. Stupid Abel. Stupid, stupid Abel. With his stupid pretty hair, and that little smug grin, and the way he had of teasing her and his--dammit. She was glowing again, wasn't she? AUGH! She was going to kick him the next time she saw him. Just...because!
"Ahem. Anyway, why does the snow bother you? Is it just that it's cold? Actually I used to hate snow when I was younger but it's sort of grown on me over the years. I think it's rather pretty now, and peaceful."
Yes. Subject change. Definitely time for a subject change.

"Uuhhh.. well, when I was young, I got myself into some pretty bad situations. I was... ehh... buried alive. In snow. If the people who were responsible did it on purpose or not, I'll probably never know. The snow mixing with my blood and tears. Ugh. Disgusting. I can't stand it. I actually used to love snow when I was little, but honestly, I think the beauty is just a disguise for how evil it is." Ruby said, shifting her weight slightly as she grew more and more uncomfortable talking about how she almost died when she was younger. Yeeeeah. Not really the best topic to choose. Nice going Ruby.
"Anyway, I'm still trying to get used to the feeling now. I'm trying to make a good start by coming out here in the snow more and more. Like little baby steps. Very slowly." Ruby said, replacing her frown with an enthusiastic smile.
"I can feel your sorrowful heart pounding against your chest....

Angela listened silently as Ruby explained what happened. "That's terrible," she said. She reached out hesitantly, to take Ruby's hand and give it a slight squeeze. "It's good that you're trying to overcome that feeling though." She leaned back against the tree and tipped her head up to look through the branches.
"When I was younger, I lived with my great uncle. It was after my mother died. He...kept me in his basement, which had been converted to a laboratory. And there was one small window there in my little room--well, it was more like a cell. During the winter it was so cold. And when the snow came, I would slowly watch that window fill up, losing the light from outside little by little as it was covered with snow. And finally, I would be left with this cold silence. It was awful. At night, I could hear the faint sound of the trees creaking under its weight."
"It was horrifying. But when my father finally came for me and took me away, and I saw snow for the first time without being trapped, I suppose I fell in love with it. Even if it's just a facade, it's nice to see everything look so pure and so beautiful for a change."

Ruby wasn't sure which past was worse: Being kicked out of your own home and then being buried alive or being locked up for half of your life by your own family.
"I-I'm sorry about that. My situation wasn't that bad since I only suffered physically, but your situation..." Ugh. That was just terrible. Your own family.... locking you up for so long. It was sickening. Everyone at Rosentale... they all had something to haunt them everywhere they went, Ruby guessed. Was it because they were.... different? Because they weren't a regular human? Because they were a fairy, demon or angel? It just wasn't fair! It wasn't their fault they were born like this!

"I think your situation was bad enough," Angela said. "I wasn't trying to boast a darker past. Just let you know you aren't alone? I mean, it isn't as if I've forgot any of that. And being in the dark is still frightening for me. And...well, I dislike psychoanalyzing myself. But I think what you endured was also terrible. And unfortunate."
"But you're here now. And no one is going to do anything of the kind to you again." Angela smiled. "If they do, I'll personally kick their arse. Besides, snow is also useful. If you don't believe me, the first time you see a person you dislike, lob a snowball at the back of their head and duck behind the nearest bush. You'd be surprised how satisfying it is."

Ruby looked up at Angela for a moment, and couldn't help but smile and nod thankfully. Angela was right: She wasn't alone. Nobody was. Not at Rosentale. Everyone at this Academy were all equal. It seemed like a dream, where people could live happily together and know that everyone wasn't ever alone. Where everyone could laugh and smile. Was that what the headmistress was trying to do? Make peace? If so, Ruby would gladly support her the whole way.
"Thanks Angela. Y-You really made my day a whole lot better."
( ( Meanwhile, while Ruby thinks about peace and rainbows, the evil team is is planning their next attack on the poor academy XD ) )

"Well, I suppose it's about time I made someone's day better," Angela said, laughing a little. "I think up until now, I've mostly just been upsetting and annoying everyone. And occasionally beating them up."
Wow. She'd really cheered someone up. That was a first. It made her feel a little better about the fact that she hadn't been able to cheer Jukka up at all. "Anyway. Winter sort of stalked up on us rather quickly. As much as I think the snow is pretty, I'm ready for it to be over too. I prefer rain over snow anyway."
"Rather sentimental of me, isn't it?"
((Hehe..yeah. XD ))

"Well-"
Windows smashed. The screaming began. It was a sudden chaos that no one wanted.
"Kyaa--" Ruby didn't quite have words to describe how incredibly blasting the screaming was. She could almost see the sound waves, throwing themselves out of each and every window and crushed everything in its path. Her jaw almost dropped to the floor it utter horror and amazement. Ruby had never seen anything like it.
"Hurry! W- We have to get there! People could be in danger!"
( ( Exit to Infirmary.... ) )

"Ruby...wait!" Angela called. Dammit. She couldn't really...run. She started after Ruby slowly, but the sound of more breaking glass caused her to wrap an arm around her torso tightly, and break into a very painful run.

Angela huddled under her tree for a long time, just trying to shut out all the horrible memories flashing through her head. It wasn't as if she didn't think about those things on a daily basis. But it was usually like a dull hum in the background of her daily life. Suddenly being confronted with that scene brought all that pain back to the foreground and shoved it right into her face. And now she couldn't think about anything else.
After a while, she was able to raise her head and stare at the overcast sky, resting her arms on her knees.
Why was this place such a mixture of terrible things and wonderful things? Somehow, she had thought it would be a chance to live like a normal person but so far it had been anything but. She was beginning to question if she should stay or beg her father to go back home. And given how determined he had been to send her here, 'beg' was likely the correct word.
She took a long, shaky breath. No. She wasn't going to beg anyone for anything. Never again. She would stay. She just...had to work out how to deal with all this emotional turmoil. Angela let her head drop between her arms, trying to take calming breaths despite the throbbing pain.
She could do this. She was strong now.
She was definitely strong now.

After a while, Angela settled on the roots of the tree, on the side that had been sheltered from the snow, and closed her eyes. It was cold outside but she thought it would be fine to just close her eyes for a little while.
She felt so lost right now that when she opened her mind to the vast empty silence where the tree's voice usually would have been, it was almost comforting. The silence of its winter sleep was so overwhelming that for a while, she forgot everything else, just cradled within a half-dream where she didn't have to think about the last few days or anything that had happened.
Before long, she drifted off to sleep, still huddled underneath the tree.

  "Evil has many faces.
Evil can take any form
Animal, Human, anything.
It can influence the weak......" Abel soon find Angela sleeping under the tree. He stooped down while staring at her.. Must have been tired from strolling? He sat beside her and watch her closely while sleeping. Abel can't help but to smile and remove some of her stray hairs covering her face.
"If you're planning to sleep then you should go somewhere else where no one might see you drooling." He mumbles teasingly. Finally, Abel positions himself and gently place Angela's head against his thigh.. In that way she could be able to sleep peacefully.
"Flat chested midget.." He smiled "...It can spread around the world
It consumes hearts.
It destroys friendships.
This is true evil."

Angela hadn't slept long when she felt a warm presence near her. One she'd become incredibly familiar with over the past few days. She could feel her body being moved but it was a moment longer before she opened her eyes, staring at the world sideways for a minute. It was almost frightening how comforting his presence was for her.
She laid there for a long moment before she finally couldn't stand it. Angela sat up and turned to Abel, embracing him tightly.
"I...was worried about you," she mumbled against his chest. That wasn't what she wanted to say, but she didn't think she could say what was really on her mind. So for now, that was enough.

"Evil has many faces.
Evil can take any form
Animal, Human, anything.
It can influence the weak......" Abel startled for a bit. Realizing she's finally awake. He can tell it through her tight embrace. In return Abel hold on to her head and waist, avoiding her not very well healed ribs. "My apologies for keeping you worried about me..."
He sigh.. This is going to be more and more complicated. He can't even understand himself anymore. "By the way.. I saw you're drawing.. I never knew you were looking at me while sleeping. You're a potential stalker." He chuckle softly, teasing her.
But in the end, Abel talked seriously, he must need to know something in order for him to understand what's going on..
"Angela.." he pulled away.. "Look at me.." He's really confuse.. "...It can spread around the world
It consumes hearts.
It destroys friendships.
This is true evil."

Angela.Tremaine "I couldn't help it considering the death grip you had on my hand," Angela retorted. He pulled away and she studied his face, surprised by the expression he was wearing. She had never seen him look that way before--so lost. She reached to touch his cheek briefly. "And here I was beginning to think my name wasn't in your vocabulary. I think that's the first time you've used it."
She was having a difficult time looking in his eyes, but he seemed so serious so she took a breath and steeled herself against what he might say next. "What is it?"
