Welcome to Gaia! ::

Abel easily slipped past people, nearly slipping through them on some accounts, as if he weren't even there at all. The girl ahead of him walked out of the school buildings and turned a corner. Abel turned and finally caught up to her. "Excuse me! Excuse me!" He cried out, holding out a hand as if to grab her.

The girl stopped and turned around abruptly, causing Abel to run into her and fall backwards. He felt her hand snatch his arm and he regained his balance. "Ummm...thank you." He said carefully, feeling that intense heat burn in his body from her touch. His blue eyes looked down when she shrugged and gazed to the side.

"What do you want? I'm trying to get somewhere." She muttered, folding her arms over her stomach and watching Abel with an annoyed intensity. Her light green eyes narrowed and Abel looked up to her, breathing in a deep breath.

"I think you have something of mine...perhaps you found it on the ground? You see...I misplaced a bag of mine that a friend had given to me, for important reasons and-"

Before he could finished she had shoved a silver bag into his chest. His eyes widened and he picked it up in his hands. "Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me! I've been so lost without this." He exclaimed in an excited manner. The girl raised her shaped brows and lifted her chin. "Really...ummm if there's anything I can do for you." He paused as she looked past him and towards Talen.

"It's nothing. I didn't look in it either. So don't worry." She spoke more fluidly this time, her voice sounding thick and somewhat rusty, not in an unappealing matter though. "Anything you did for me would just pull me down. Trust me."

"Oh..." He ran a finger over the silver material. "Well, my name is Abel, so if you ever think of something you want me to do, let me know. What's your name?"

"Lilith."

((Hehehe. I thought it'd be appropriate...

NOW TIME TO STUDY GOVERNMENT YAAAAY. *cries* ))

((Haha I figured since we are all using Biblical names and what-not...Abel, Cain, Saul...

I couldn't think of any other real "demonic" names besides Lilith. D: But yeah! Anyways...I like that name too. D: Next character we should name Gabriel...that's such an awesome name.))

Abel turned his head when Talen came up to him and apologized to Lilith. Abel gave a slight laugh and looked back to Lilith who shrugged.

"He wasn't bothering me." She said calmly, her empty eyes watching Talen critically. Standing quietly she examined the two boys as they spoke amongst each other.

"But...I wasn't chasing her. She found my bag." He put the bag in the air just as Talen questioned him about it. "I dropped it...when I...you know." His expression twisted and he started to open it up.

"I should go." Lilith interjected, thrusting a thumb over her shoulder. "You know, jobs and stuff."

"Oh, you sure? You don't want to stay with us? I mean Talen is going to work, but I'm free." He gave Lilith a wide smile and her eyes darkened. "If you don't want to it's okay." His pale hands pulled open the bag and inside he found a bible, a strange metallic device, and a pad of paper. His face dropped and he rubbed his forehead. "What's this?" Pulling out a slim, silver and white phone, he gave out a large sigh and looked upwards. "What am I to do with a metal sla-" The minute he spoke the thing buzzed and music burst forth from it. He let out a yelp and it fell from his hands.

Lilith caught it before it hit the ground and she opened it up. "It's a phone...haven't you ever seen a cell phone? You talk into it." Her eyes flashed over to Talen as Abel took it gingerly and held it nearly a foot away from his ear.

"Abel! I've been trying to reach you since the minute you arrived!" A handsome sounding voice yelled from the phone. Abel's face lightened and a smile overcame him.

"Hans! Hans! Oh goodness me! Am I EVER so happy to hear your voice!" He jumped a bit and started to move around the area as the two of them conversed. "You wouldn't believe the things I've seen! I met some amazing people! I like them a lot you know, and they aren't aliens either! It's really amazing in America."

"Yeah yeah. I'm sure it is Abel. But you see-"

"But I'm so confused! I feel like I'm so out of place. You see I..." He trailed off into a whisper as he walked a bit farther from Lilith and Talen.

Lilith watched Abel for a minute and looked back at Talen. "Aren't you one of Cain's 'buddies'" She put quotes around buddies with her fingers, one brow raising. She slipped a thumb into her jeans pocket, her curves obvious against the form fitting material. "Whatever. I need to get going. Your friend over there seems just fine chatting away." She glanced over at Abel who was talking vividly before he slowly down in his pacing and his face grew serious. Lilith couldn't help but wonder what it was they were talking about.

((I figured she and Cain would know each other. I'm not sure what they're relationship is though. You can play with that if you want. Haha.))

Lilith rolled her eyes and nodded. "Yeah. Unfortunately, I am his sister..." She leaned back slightly in that relaxed, cool posture most women can't pull off without looking boyish, however her curves seemed to make up for it. She tilted her head to the side as Talen tried to make up for Abel's weirdness. She watched the handsome boy from the corner of her eyes as he waved his hands for a minute and walked a bit further away, then paced.

"Talen? Like talons? Hmmm...what a unique name." She said in a sarcastic manner, a flicker of a smile twitching on her dark lips.

Abel leaned foward from his position against a lamp post, pursing his lips. "I don't understand why I am here."

"Me neither." Hans replied.

"What?!"

"Well, He basically said you'd know when the time came. For the meanwhile I just want you to learn stuff. You still have no idea what capabilities you possess. You know how you've been feeling sick and what-not? Yeah. You can sense how people feel, as well as their personalities. Right now it's kind of just there, but eventually, once you get used to it, you'll be able to control it."

"I'm just so lost..." He rubbed at his head and tilted it back, letting out a big sigh.

"You're more powerful than you know. God's given you some amazing gifts Abel, he gives all of us gifts, but you're special. I've always felt you were someone special, maybe that's what He sent you there. You'll be fine, I promise. Things will eventually make sense, you're a smart guy. Just watch out for yourself and your friends."

Abel still didn't understand. He wanted so badly just to go back, not have to worry as much as he was. "I'm really worried about Talen. For some reason I just feel this overwhelming sense of sadness. Something in his eyes is missing...he's a great guy...but something is missing."

"There are some people in the world that are wonderful people, yet let others lead them down a road of darkness. We all were wonderful people, but the world can just get to others. Just try to lead him away from it. But don't get hurt in the process Abel. There are some things that not even we can change. God has a plan for everything, try not to do too much."

"Alright..."

"Abel? I need to go check on something. If you ever need me, I'll call you. Since you can't work a phone. If you ever do learn how, the number you dial is 777."

"Okay. Thank you Hans."

"Good Luck." With that a click was heard and Abel closed the phone slowly, staring at it.

Lilith passed him as she started to leave and looked over. "What's wrong? You break it?"

"Oh." He looked up, blinking, "No...no. Just kinda confused is all. I really appreciate you giving me the bag. It means a lot...if there's anything I can-"

"Really, it's okay. I need to get going though."

"You sure you don't want to stay? I was going to make dinner for Talen and Alice, you could join if you wanted."

"I'm fine. I can manage." She shook her head, looking back over to Talen. "You go with your friend. You shouldn't just invite strangers over to your friend's house anyways." She raised her brows and watched Abel frown and slip the phone into his pocket. "See ya."

"Thank you." Abel watched Lilith walk away before turning around and putting on a smile to Talen. "I am so happy I got to talk to Hans! I was so worried I'd never hear his voice again. Are you going to work right now?"

((AH sorry for not posting yesterday. I was out with my friends celebrating the end of the semester...and then when I got home, I COMPLETELY CRASHED. I laid on the couch at like 7:30 and a minute later I was asleep.

And I just now woke up. It was the best sleep I've had in my life. haha.))

Abel raised his brows as he positioned the bag over his shoulder. "I don't know..." He began, eyes looked away as he tried to figure out what to do. His fingers fiddled with the bag's strap and his face twisted in deep thought. "I kinda want to see what you do while you work." Very carefully, he looked back over to Talen with the face of someone way too innocent to be denied.

"I won't get in the way. I'll just stand in the background like a statue. I won't even breath if you don't want me too. You know I'm very good at being unnoticed. I did it ALL the time back home. I'll be just like a ghost." His smiled quivered upwards as if trying to beg Talen into letting him tag along.

"Please?"

((I feel like something is about to haaaapen. xD ))

Abel remained quiet as Talen tried to dismiss the whole thing. Abel felt guilty for trying to force Talen into taking him. He knew it was wrong to do so, but he also knew something was going on that Talen would get in serious trouble for. Abel didn't want to have Talen falling too deep into a dark hole that he wouldn't be able to climb out of.

As Talen started to walk away, Abel bowed his head and rubbed his temples. "Be careful...be so careful..." he whispered after him and started to walk. He followed after a feeling of worry, as if it was a specific trail meant for him to follow. Every now and then something in the back of his mind would tell him to turn here or cross the street there.

While he started getting away from the city lights he saw an old building. The feelings around it began to make him feel sick again. To his left, in the distance, he saw Talen walking into the building. Abel began to move after him but a hand touched his shoulder. He jumped turned around, and was pushed to the ground. A hand covered his mouth and he was staring up at light green eyes.

Lilith breathed in heavily and shook her head at Abel. "Shhhh. You have to be quiet. If they find you here..." she didn't need to finish her sentence. She could see the recognition in Abel's glowing blue eyes. Quietly, she removed her hand and got off of him, dusting off her jeans. "You shouldn't be here."

"Probably. But what about you?"

"At least I'm used to this stuff. I can stand on my own. You probably can't. Just stay with me and you should be okay. I know how the world works." Lilith ran her fingers through her short auburn hair and moved closer to the house, though kept within the shadows where no one could see them. It was obvious she had done this many times before.

"What are they doing?" Abel whispered, feeling anxiety work up within him.

"Shut up." Lilith hissed under her breath and crouched down beside the side of the house. She could here their voices within the building and she pressed her back against it. Abel followed suit.

((Lalala.))

Lilith remained quiet as they sat against the house. Her eyes flickered over to Abel every now and again to see him frowning and rubbing at his head. She didn't say anything, knowing they'd be heard if she did. Something about Abel made her feel sad. Perhaps it was that look in his eyes. They weren't happy, they were worried, always worried. The minute she looked at him they were too full of concern to be normal.

His movements were too fluid and too graceful, his face was too perfect, too boyishly handsome, his eyes too blue, his hair too blonde, his skin too smooth, his smile too bright. Everything about him was too perfect. Something inside of her told her that he wasn't normal. No one was that perfect, and no one worried over someone that much, not even mothers.

Abel's eyes opened and he looked to the side when he heard the three come out. Lilith got up before him and snatched his wrist, leading him carefully after the group of boys. When they were far away enough for them not to hear Lilith whispered to Abel. "Don't do a THING unless I tell you. I don't want to have to save you from Cain's anger, got that? Even if you little friend gets in trouble."

Abel knew if Talen was in any immediate trouble, he'd definitely do something, but he didn't tell Lilith that. "Of course..." He whispered and the two them sat back a little as they got to the house. Abel stood to the side of Lilith, his anxiety bursting from the seems when he saw Talen climbing up the house. "Oh...Talen..." he whispered and felt his heart breaking. He wanted so badly to go over there, pull him down, and make him walk away. Abel might have been ignorant, but not that ignorant not to know what was going on.

"I'll be right back, you stay here, no matter WHAT happens you STAY HERE." Lilith hissed and pointed at the spot for more effect. She then strolled out towards Saul with a smirk and leaned against the lamppost he was standing at. "Hey, Saul." She said with a dark undertone, her eyes half lidded as she looked at him, a playful smirk on her full lips. "How's it going?"

Lilith shrugged as she lifted herself from the lamppost and put an arm over Saul's shoulder, draping herself slightly against him. She could smell him, definitely not the best smell in the world. Her nose wrinkled and she looked at him. "Why should I care if he's mad or not? He's always mad. Nothing new. I've done worse."

Her eyes watched the house and she witched the side of her jaw lazily. "You smell bad, Saul. Go take a shower or something." She moved her arm off of him and looked down the street. "I just thought I should let you know, that the cops patrol this area at night. It's unfortunate no one took that into account." As she spoke headlights appeared down the street as a car slowly inched its way.

"Don't you think they'll find it weird there are two teenagers, one who is very suspiciously high looking, watching a house completely dark, with one window open, and an alarm going off?" She raised her perfectly arched brows and studied Saul with a blank face.

Abel looked down the street at the lights and then back to the house, his heart thudding heavily. He didn't know what was going on...but he didn't like it one bit. With the worry and anxiety overwhelming him he quickly stepped towards Lilith. Her eyes flashed red when he came over and she rushed towards him. "The HELL are you doing?" She snapped, hands grabbing his shoulders and shoving him back. "I told you to stay!"

"But...I...Talen...and you...the lights, they're coming faster." He pointed to the lights and then some on top turned around, flashing quickly and an engine turned louder as it came. "That's not good is it?" Abel quickly said and Lilith let go. She rushed towards Saul.

"s**t, go tell them, Saul. Tell them now. The cops know something is up." Her eyes were now burning red as she stared at him, her nerves working overtime. She didn't really like her brother...but she didn't want him in jail, she also didn't want to be in jail herself.

Abel meanwhile stood still, not sure what to do. "Ahhhhh...goodness." He groaned and pulled at his hair nervously. "Ohhhh dear."

((Haha he doesn't even know what's going on! xD ))

Lilith looked to Cain and a smile flickered on her lips, not one of relief, but one of amusement. As if this whole thing were a joke to her. "I just thought I'd watch my precious brother at work. That's all." Her eyes moved back to their light green and she smirked wider.

Abel took a few steps back when Cain came running towards them. His eyes lit up and he watched the exchange between the three others before Cain's eyes met his. Abel shrunk slightly and frowned, the sickness rising in his stomach again.

Lilith gave a frustrated sigh when Cain grabbed her and started running. There was not much she could do but go along with him. "Perhaps you should review the location yourself before you leap into it. Trusting Saul is like trusting a rock...neither have much of a brain." Shaking her head she easily matched Cain's pace and they disappeared.

Abel was left just as stunned as Saul, looking at him with wide eyes. "Ahhhh..." He paused and looked up to see the cops getting closer. "You go, hurry, I'll get Talen. It's okay, don't worry." He gave Saul a reassuring smile and took off into the house. All that was one his mind now was to get Talen out of there and away from the house as quickly as possible.

Abel stumbled across Talen, the wailing sound tearing into his ears. Wincing he knelt down, took Talen's arms and easily pulled him to his feet. Before Talen could say anything else, his hand gripped the other boy's wrist tightly and pulled him towards the back door. Again, he had no idea where he was going, but his instincts had led him here, so he hoped they would lead him away too.

As they got to the back door Abel used his free hand to try the door knob, of course it was locked. Groaning he tried again and the lock inside clicked, the door sliding open as though it had never been locked. Once they were safely outside he dragged Talen towards the trees. A few minutes later they were safe away from the house and Abel came to a stop, letting go of Talen and taking a steadying breath.

His fingers were trembling and he crouched down, holding his head for a minute to let the screeching alarm escape from his ears. Not an ounce of air escaped his lungs as he let his fingers shake and his head ring. "Oh my goodness..." he whispered to himself and looked towards Talen. "Oh. my. goodness."

((Woooo.))
