 Autumn arrived at the dorm, her emotionless face blinking slowly at the door. She turned the knob, and entered the room, only to close the door behind her and sit on her bed. She placed her bags on the ground and noticed another bed, beside her own. "I have a roommate..?"She asked herself quietly, and began unpacking her bags.

SethosKarawan ~ Yawning and stretching his arms wide out, Sethos walked down the hallway casually. He cricked his neck and winced in pain as it let out a satisfying click. He rubbed it, hoping the slight mild pain would disappear soon as he cursed himself for sleeping in such a place. Next time, he thought, don't fall asleep in the tree... even for a morning nap...He stopped infront of a door in the dorms vicinity. He took out his chain that held a metal key he knew to be the unlocker of this doors lock. Seth fit the key in with no problem, but then suprisingly find it had already been unlocked...
Startled, he made his way in. He wasn't expecting a roomie so soon - and was disappointed that he couldn't have known earlier, so that he would have time to set up a 'warm' welcoming... well, warm in his terms at least...
He entered and raised his eyebrows at the female present inside, unpacking. The first thing he noticed was the beautiful texture of her hair, which curved his sight down to her petite body. He felt himself heat up, but didn't think to much of it and shook his attention away from the attentive, and positively cute new roommate. He chastised himself for also thinking he was so god damn lucky...
"Err, need some help?" he splurted first. Usually he'd be the life of the party in any room, with anybody present. But, when startled, he couldn't help but become just a bit nervous.

Autumn, who was slowly unpacking, turned to look up at her new roommate. She watched him slowly, then looked back at her bag, and continued unpacking, placing everything neatly on the side of her bags. Hearing him ask if she needed some help, she slowly shook her head. "It's okay, i'm fine.." Muttering a little lowly. She couldn't help but find her new roommate.. a little.. strange. She wasn't used to sharing a room with a complete stranger, who she had no idea what or who he/she was. The only other person she felt comfortable around was the person who found her.
Although, once she finished unpacking, she stood up and grabbed a whole bunch of her clothes, placing them in the drawers beside her. She took a glance at Seth, then quickly looked back to what she was doing, showing no interest in him.

SethosKarawan ~ Sethos blinked, again taken aback. It was a day of surprise, but he hoped all surprises had ended there... but judging from the character vibes she gives off, he knew that wish was long off. He found her odd, even a little nutty, as she declined his offer with so much as a smile, and continued with her work with added glances toward him. He didn't know what to do for once in his life, and stood there, watching. He took in the fragrance that finally made it to his nose, and drank in the graceful movements she portrayed, those big bright autumn eyes, and that strange, mysterious look...
Sethos looked away and felt the heat rise up again. He bit his lip, and chewed on it as he delved into frantic thought. Usually someone wouldn't act like her - they'd accept the offer of help, and talk would come up from that. She really was the different type, and now that he gets to meet someone who's different from the rest, he didn't know what to say!
Wait, hang on... He sniffed her fragrance again and frowned. He took a few steps toward her automatically, which brought him very close to her mobile body. He sniffed again, a bit like an animal.
"Wow, okay, that's better..." he noted, "for a minute there I couldn't pick up where your scent was from... human aye?" He mumbled the last bit to himself, as he examined her again - this time, with a critical eye. "Where you from, newbie?"

Autumn could sense his presence, getting closer and closer. At first, she ignored it. But seeing as though he only got closer, she let out a small sigh, and stopped what she was doing. She didn't care to look at him, but decided to answer his question instead. "My scent? I am from a small town.. not too far from here.." After giving him a reply, she went back to what she was doing. Placing the clothes in the drawer and so on. Rather a strange scent coming from him.. shouldn't be too bad. Again, after finishing what she was doing, she turned around to face him and looked him straight in the eye. "And.. where are you from?" Even though she wasn't as interested in him, she was rather curious to know where he was from.

SethosKarawan ~ Seth nodded at her answer and turned away just as she had. A small town? he thought, and smiled it away. It was such an ordinary answer.... maybe too ordinary....
Then she the suddenly asked HIM the same question, and AGAIN he was taken aback. He didn't think she'd speak first so soon, and raised his eyebrows for a brief moment. He smirked a second later and put up a hand, palm facing her, as if halting any sudden movements she might've made.
"Nuh uh, I'll tell you when you tell me your name, ay?" he said, grinning like a cheeky kid.

Autumn stared at his hand, then slowly looking up at him, her face showing no emotion whatsoever. "My name..?" muttering slowly to herself. She remembered alexander telling her not to tell anyone, but in this case, she was going to be in the same room with seth, so why not. "My name is Autumn... And.. yourself?" She said rather slowly. Rather confused in the matter, she wasn't sure if she was supposed to say her name. Knowing Alexander, he'd have told her a thousand times not to tell anyone about their names. But this time, she actually rebelled.

SethosKarawan ~ "Autumn?" he repeated to himself, mulling it around on his tongue. He looked away in thought before staring right into her golden eyes. They were very enigmatic, and he felt like he was pushing against a very big wall. It felt familiar... like she hid behind a mask, just as he did. Sethos suddenly smiled, held out the hand he had put up before, palm facing up. When he got her attention to the open palm, he snapped it into a fist before flourishing it wide open again... but when those fingers uncurled, there on what was once an empty palm, was a glorious, bright hued butterfly with wings that glittered and glowed in wonder. Mesmerising colours swirved through it and entranced the eye as it fluttered out from his hand and around her head. It was a butterfly never seen before - a mystic critter that looked like a dream, and yet it seemed so very real.
Seth let it swivel about around her head and around the room while he observed her and the reaction she would portray, smiling warmly. "Good to meet you, Autumn, my names Sethos."

Autumn stared at his palm, and blinked a little bit, seeing as how a butterfly magically appeared before her eyes. A sudden urge to smile and think at how beautiful the butterfly was, she couldn't seem to smile at that. She wanted to, but something inside of her told her not to. Her eyes slowly locking onto the butterfly, then slowly landed upon seeing Seth's face. A different being.. just like she was. "Sethos..?"She muttered to herself lowly, and then paid her attention back to him. "If i may ask.. What exactly are you?" She knew he was different, but she didn't know exactly what he was.

SethosKarawan ~ Sethos' smile dropped into a face blanked of emotion at the sight of her unchanged eyes. It looked like she was going to crack a small smile, but had ended up doing nothing but blink up at him. The butterfly swooped down one last time and disappeared with an automatic flick of his hand. He locked gazes with her, determined to fight through this mask - this wall - she's built herself into. He was suddenly filled with a mission to break her - to find her smile. A smile he knew was only lost. Sethos wanted to see it.
When she asked what he was, Sethos looked away nervously. He took a step back and bit his lower lip. He didn't like speaking about what he was, what he could've been. He wanted it to never be true and wished he smelled human instead of something completely different. He looked back at her soft gaze that seemed so harmless, yet cold at the same time. She was like a puzzle he needed to crack, but would crumble for himself...
He opened his mouth, deciding to reply. But. The room shook so suddenly, and the window burst open.
"Watch out!"
Sprays of shattered glass flew around the room and Sethos found himself snatching up her wrist to pull her out of the way. He clutched her to his chest, and curled to create a barrier so that the glass could only hit the back of his head and legs, and his back. He winced faintly, but clenched his teeth and endured it better than any other normal bloke could've, until the disaster was over.
And another began.
Visible shadows were starting to creep in as noisiless as a mouse, heading there way an alarming rate. Sethos' eyes grew wide in shock, knowing exactly what they were. He pulled away from Autumn to snatch her hand again and pull her out the door in such a rush, shouting "C'mon!"
He made them make there way down the dorms corridor in a run, with the shadows tailing behind them...

Autumn watched him take a step back, only to blink at seeing him cover her from the window bursting open and glass shattering everywhere. She could've dodged that easily, but was saved instead. Her eyes widened when she sensed the presence of more of them coming, and realised they had to escape from this madness. It left her no choice but to follow him, and run as fast as she could, but obviously, not too fast. These shadows aren't ordinary.. They don't seem normal as others.. "I'm not normal either.." She had to tell him. Even though she wasn't supposed to, she just had to.

SethosKarawan ~ Sethos pulled her sharply around the corner before looking at her, responding to her unfinished sentence with a 'hm?'. He then glanced back and the shadows were getting closer and closer, speeding up as the time ticked by. Sethos made sure that he went down hallways unoccupied, until he saw a room he knew wouldn't be locked and pulled Autumn inside. He slammed the door behind him and locked it. He knew it would work... if he was a normal. But he wasn't.
Using the will of his soul, he made sure there sent was hidden by a realistic illusion, covering there marks and confusing the hunter completely into a different direction. He closed his eyes, focusing on getting this plan to work out until the very end.
Moments later, he opened them and slowly turned toward Autumn. They were in a spare music room, open for use at any time. He stood there, eyeing the piano as he waited for the end of what she was beginning to say...
"You were saying...?"

Autumn felt relieved to know that the shadows weren't following them anymore and also took notice of the piano. She looked back up at him and then slowly, back at the piano. "I'm not a human" Finishing off what she had said earlier. She knew it wasn't right to tell him, but at the same time, she did want him to know. Without hearing a reply, she walked over to the piano and sat down. Her fingers slowly felt the keys of the piano, and softly began playing a song. In the past, she would always play the piano, back when she was living with her family, except no one liked it or enjoyed hearing it. The first time she'd play the piano in a long, long time.

Autumn slowly closed her eyes as both of them played a lovely piece of music. Hearing it made her calm, and that turned out as the weather slightly changing. The bright sky shining, with the sun popping out. Autumn was rather happy, even if she didn't show it, but the weather did. Her eyes slowly opened, turning to face Sethos and stopping what she was doing. "I'm a.. " At first she hesitated, but finished what she was saying. "I'm a demon" With that, the weather too, changed. It changed to clouds appearing, and the sun that was there, seemed to disappear within sight. This would show her sadness. She wasn't happy about what she was, she was rather saddened by it.
