A melody whispered through the forest, it’s ancient words as magnetic as the voice that sang them. The breeze seeming to mingle with the sound as it floated over the school, added more to the power of the song. The composer and singer of the song was a petite girl with silver-white hair and lavender eyes. Her form, for the moment, was human as she leaned against the trunk of a tree, her bare feet tucked up under her. Clothed in a pair of dark, blue-jean shorts and a white tank top, the girl looked normal for the most part. A fox that’d been in some nearby bushes slowly crept out to sit beside Takara as she sang. Slowly her voice grew quieter as the song ended. Turning to smile at her little visitor, she inclined her head to the fox and with a very un-fox-like action, the fox inclined her furry head in return before turning and disappearing into the bushes. With the smile still lingering on her face, Takara stood and stretched, simply enjoying being out in nature. Breathing in deeply of the fresh morning air, Takara let it out slowly. With a frustrated sigh, she glanced around herself. Boredom, she decided, was one of the worst of all things to be cursed with. Twirling a strand of hair between her fingers. She could go seek someone out but that involved moving out of the heart of the beautiful forest, which she was enjoying too much to leave. 'Why can’t anyone just come to me?' she wondered idly. More then her simply laziness to move however, she knew that deep down she was still afraid of people. Her whole life, since the day her parents had been murdered by humans, she’d spent in hiding from others of their kind. Even at a school where those who had different abilities, "metas" she’d once heard them called, there was still prejudice against those of her kind. She wanted to stay hidden forever. She wanted to openly express herself. She wanted to throw the chains of bondage from her mind and walk where she wished, do what she wanted. The courage do so eluded her at every turn, leaving her less fulfilled each time she reached for it and failed. "Courage… you’re such a fickle thing," she said, speaking aloud in her frustration. |

Above where the girl was hidden a slight shadow seemed to creeg along without sound, the shadow grew larger as it was the dark flowing cloak of Lucian as he moved through the forest, he wasn't really looking for the girl as he pasted over her a cool chill washing down all around the young girl, Lucian stood for a moment the girl just out of his site as he looked over the area it was as if he could feel the girl but not see her, or so it seemed. "Where are you..." Lucians voice was barely above a whisper as they wrapped around the wind into emptyness as the shadows of his cloak curled down even closer to the hidden girl as if searching her out themselves, With a quick motion he leap away into the clearing in plan sight of the girl as he moved slowly away but still looking over the whole area for this power he had sensed. As he moved his cloak seemed to pull all shadows to it and a small line of darkness seemed to move around in the direction of the girl as it raced slowly along the grassy ground drawing closer and closer to her before it was forced to stop not able to draw any closer, but then once again it started to inch closer to the girl as Lucian started to double back and look over the area again. OOC: I hope this is the girl you wanted to take Alexis place ^^;; |

Having been out for a stroll earlier something drew him farther into the forest past his own territory. For awhile it was just a melody but soon it was a full song sung from an angelic voice. At least to his ears anyway. As he made his way along he soon found himelf coming to a clearing. He jumped into a tree to see who or what was singing. He had looked down to see a woman singin from atop a rock. She had has silverish hair and a beautiful voice. He couldn't see her eye's just yet but that didn't matter he was listening to her sing. It was awhile later when she stopped singing he woke up in the trees limbs. Emberrased he had fallen asleep for awhile he shook his head a little and got to a sitting position. He looked down to the lady who was now twirling her hair. "Excuse me...uh,"Not knowing what to say continued slowly,"That was qiute good." was all he managed to say. He wasn't very good talking to girls. (OOC: This was before Lucian I just got to post it.) |

Lavender eyes locked on the boy in the tree as Takara tilted her head back slighty, her gaze searching out the person behind the voice. Her smile brightened at his compliment to her singing. She knew she sang well because she used her voice as a weapon sometimes, hence the reason the boy had probably been compelled to follow it. Still, it felt nice to be complimented. Bowing slightly to the boy in way of a thank you, she straightened and smiled. 'I guess someone did come.' "Thank you, I enjoy singing so it's nice to know others appreciate it. Won't you join me down here? I promise I don't bite," she added somewhat teasingly, since it was highly unlikely that the boy thought her anything but a normal human or another meta from the school. "My name is..." Takara paused, her eyes scanning the sky curiously as a shadow, more in her mind then anywhere else, passed above her. A cool chill seemed to pass over the area surrounding her but Takara didn't even flinch. More then anything, she was simply curious of the new power that loomed above her. It felt powerful but that was as much as she could easily tell. "Where are you..." The words, seeming to be nothing more then a whisper in the wind were easy enough to hear. Remaining silent, she watched as he landed in plain sight in the small clearing in which she stood. Unsure of how to address the new arrival, she just watched him for a moment. The shadows, she noticed, seemed to follow him, gliding across the ground even though the sun shone on the very spot they now occupied. The shadows were coming towards her now as the person doubled back and headed towards her. "Lose something?" she asked innocently, simply trying to figure out what he might be wanting. ((OOC: Not take Alex's place... become a friend possibly but Takara is too indepent to do what Alex was doing.)) |

Drax smiled and thought *That was stupid of me, to stay in this tree.* With that he jumped down near her. She had been about to say here name when she looked around watching something. He looked around too but had a little confused look on his face. Ussually he could tell if anything was around. He took a sniff and just looked around a little more, until he heard her whisper something to low for him to hear. Afterwords he just looked at her with his grey eyes showing he was more than a little bit confused. |

Lucian turned slowly to face the girl as her small innocent voice came into the area he was in, his eyes were like small emerald fires burning in the void of darkness that was all around him and the only thing that seemed to matter to the narrow orbs of neon light was catching the girl in their never fading gaze. "So you were the one I sense...then that singing..." Something seemed to be hiding with in this girl as his eyes burned across the open field and into hers, the emerald light danced around like the hypnotic movement of a dancing fire in the night as his gaze would not leave hers even as he slowly started to move towards her. "Do tell me what it is your doing out here...though your singing seemed to be as beautiful as the night full of the brightest stars...I could sense a touch of fear...or hesitation...are you hiding from something...or afraid to be around others that might see you for something your not..." Lucian knew what this girl though on the outside seemed no different than most humans and those at this school, she hide something within her that made others fear and hate her all at once, a simple emotion that Lucian had long since been without as he just saw her for what she was, and what she could become, looking to the girl he completely ignored the boy that had come down from the three. OOC: SP, I don't care if you did think of something before me, there is a post order to follow so please try and stick with that, its a lot easier when we all don't have to change something for YOU to make things fit. Remember that next time you post because if you pull that stuff with staff or a hard core Vet then you'll get more than just a friendly request that you pay more attention. |

Eyes lit with curiosity, Takara smiled inwardly when her comment made the boy turn towards her. Such simple things never failed to work. She was surprised by his eyes however as the seperate emerald fires locked on her. Besides his eyes, she was irritated to realize that she couldn't make out anything else beneath his hood, as if he had a face merely of shadows. "So you were the one I sense...then that singing..." Wondering if it would be wise to verify that it had been her singing, she decided it didn't matter since the only other person nearby obviously didn't sing. Inclining her head slighlty as if to say "yup", she tuned her senses into the boy in front of her, not thinking the other was a threat since he didn't seem the kind to attack someone. An odd feeling spread through Takara as if her out layer, her illusion, was being peeled away to reveal the truth burried deep. A low hiss, outside the hearing range of either Drax or Lucian, escaped her lips as she tried not to squirm under Lucian's gaze. Her secrets were hers to keep and she didn't much like the idea of another, especially a stranger, fishing them out. Slamming her energy up against the confines of her skin, her mind and body basically became blocked to Lucian's search. "Do tell me what it is your doing out here...though your singing seemed to be as beautiful as the night full of the brightest stars...I could sense a touch of fear...or hesitation...are you hiding from something...or afraid to be around others that might see you for something your not..." His mention of her small fear of being arounds others briefly made Takara worried. How had he been able to figure that out so quickly? Her anger however was quickly replaced by a seething anger that burned into her mind. No one had the right to say such things to her, to blatantly state that she was afraid of things they had no idea about. They had no right to be poking around in her mind. Struggling to keep herself calm, Takara was glad to find that her old habits had taken over, keeping her stance relaxed and her eyes clear and pleasant. Forcing the anger aside for a more opportune moment to examine it, Takara returned her focus to Lucian. With a dainty shrug, she kept her careless air about her, refusing to let the fool in front of her realize how much he'd irritated her. "I prefer to be alone more often then in the company of others. I guess you could call it old habit. Although I would point out that it might be wise not to speak of what you do not understand or know." |

Though the girl was very good at hiding her emotions Lucians emerald eyes could pick up on the slight shaking of her body even if ever so subtle. "I have to admire your ability there...you are very well had hiding your true feelings...but then again Im sure you have learned to hide quite a few things in your life..." Lucians eyes blazed with a untamable fire of emerald light that burned against the shadows around his face and body, as they were the only power that was able to break though the endless night of his dark veil, and no light or power of seeing in darkness could ever break through those shadows that seemed to come from the very nightmares of peoples fears, the eyes that broke through the darkness never left Takaras, they slightly shimmered as he could tell she was putting up her defenses trying to keep him from knowing more about her through her eyes, but her body was a horrible lie as he knew he had touched a sensitive spot about her being afraid. "Its true I do know a great deal of things in this world...but you need not fear me or be afraid to show me what you truly are...I can assure you of that...I only wish to understand you more and will only take what you yourself are willing to share..." His voice seemed to come from every corner of the forest like whispers in the dead of night, and so empty as they seemed to be just echos of real words, they all moved to one spot which danced around the girls ears with a slight chill as the words poured from the shadows of his hood, Lucian was fixed on this girl before him and paid little if any attention at all to the boy that seemed to just appear. |

It seemed to Takara that the "Fool" as she absently decided to nickname Lucian, hadn't heard the hint of warning in her earlier comment. A warning that cleary stated that she wasn't one to mess with and that it would be in his best benefit not to push her. The very fact that she knew that the Fool had picked up on her warning and then decided to ignore it, irritated Takara more then if he'd just failed to hear the warning. For if that were the case, then he would simply be stupid, instead he was being cocky and arrogant. Ideas of what she could later do to the Fool started to flash through Takara's mind. Such as, maiming him, burning him, cutting little pieces out of his oh-so-cocky self or simply torturing him for awhile so that he'd learn that when she warned someone, her warning meant something. For the moment however, she remained quiet with her care-free attitude held firmly in place. "Its true I do know a great deal of things in this world...but you need not fear me or be afraid to show me what you truly are...I can assure you of that...I only wish to understand you more and will only take what you yourself are willing to share..." "What reason would I have to fear you? You've done nothing to harm me. All you've done is trying to learn more about me by prying instead of asking. As to showing you what I am... I think that the answer of that question is obvious to any casual observer. I am a living, breathing being that doesn't appreciate prying eyes. And as you mentioned earlier, I'm good at hiding things, don't you think there would be a reason for me to do so? But... I'm the one being rude now. You said you wouldn't take anything without me sharing it with you, so thank you." In her mind she added in a hard voice that he would only be able to attempt to take anything from her she did not wish taken. Her mind had been her only safe haven for hundreds of years and as such, had so many barriers and traps in it that only a handful of people in the whole world might even be able to enter, not to mention exit it. And the simple fact was, Lucian wasn't one of them. He might be able to if he wanted to destroy her mind in the process but otherwise, he'd never make it. If he were to look into her eyes, all he would find was a layer of lavender covering unpentrable walls. |

Drax could see now ,who this woman who he'd just met, was talking to. The being seemed to want nothing to do with him. So he just stood away a little in case he tried to do something he didn't know if he would be much use but he'd try. (OOC: You both can continue on even if I don't post much.) |

Lucian stood only a few feet from the girl, but his swirling green eyes burned as if they were right in front of her own, though Lucian was not longer trying to pry into the girl mind as he said he wouldn't, he could tell this girl wasn't one go give trust so easily which was a good sign to Lucian, as he wouldn't be here if the girl would easily share her secrets with him...no if she was willing to lay so many traps within her mind then this would be more than enough worth his time, though the girl seemed to have a way of lashing out, in her own means. "You seem to misunderstand when I tell you not to fear me...though Im sure one such as your self fears very little in this world...I simple meant that I will understand what you are without judgement...as for your thanks it is not needed...my words were true as I would only listen to what you wish to say...forgive me if I come off...as though Im being head strong but you do intrust me greatly and it would be a pleasure if you would agree to speak with me more on the subject...though this would not seem to be the place to keep from prying ears..." His words though empty were less cold than before as they rushed across the forest floor to brush against the ears of the girl like whispers of echos, his cloak flowed around him like water from a endless sea of shadows as they seemed to draw all darkness to them, he moved slightly towards the girl his fixed gaze of neon light never breaking away from her with each motion he made, emerald meeting lavender which only licked against the walls of her eyes and mind as he would push no further, with a slight bow of his hood his words once against cut across the forest like blades of whispers. "If you would grant me the pleasure...would you care to walk these woods with me...then as your leisure we could discuss anything you wish...be it about yourself...or me..." |

Takara remained quietly controlled as Lucian gazed at her. It seemed she’d caught his interest somehow, it was obvious that something about her, or some power of his own, had led him to her. Either Lucian had sensed the traps that lay in wait within the mind of one who looked so pleasant or he’d decided to listen to the warning she gave and leave her mind alone. It didn’t really matter to Takara because either way, it left no one poking around in her mind. Listening to the nuances in his voice more then the words, Takara tried desperately to find a trap hidden somewhere in them. She didn’t detect any and that worried her then if she’d found a trap. For a known trap can be avoided while an unknown one could be fatal. But at the same time his words made her uneasy, the soothed other fears. In no way however did she let even a fraction of her guard down. 'So the Fool won’t judge me simply for what I am… Why do I get the feeling that might be an entirely good thing? Why would he even be searching me out if not for what I am. Is he after an alliance? Or perhaps he’s setting a trap for later, so that I’ll be the scapegoat. Oh… so many possibilities Fool, I don’t think I can trust you.' The whole time her thoughts ran through her head lasted a grand total of ½ a second. As he moved slightly closer, Takara double checked to make sure that she didn’t so much as shift slightly. He might intimidate her at some later point but even then, she’d never let him know that. His offer hung in the air unanswered for several seconds. Takara knew her answer immediately but let it hang just to give her the appearance of thinking it over. "If you truly plan on just walking, no coercing, no manipulating, no tricks, then perhaps I’d think about it. I’m not a trusting person so if your endeavor is to gain my trust, I suggest you look elsewhere for such an elusive thing, for you’ll most likely never get mine." Inclining her head slightly she motioned with her left arm towards the forest. "If you still wish to walk, then shall we go?" |

Giving a slight bow with only his head to show that he agreed to her terms, his moved silently along the grass where his cloak rolled along the floor the color seemed to fade as if basking them in the very night itself. "Your trust is not what I seek at this time...all I wish is to have some of your time and learn what you wish to share...nothing more you have my word..." He stood almost right before her but still his voice poured out of the shadows like whispers, rolling into the air and traced a snake like path across her ear with a cool chill of night. Lucian knew this girl was not one to easily gain trust, and he liked that about her as he was always looking for a challenge, though not known to her he did have plans for this Takara but he would play things out slowly, his voice held nothing but sound, no hint of any emotion, no sign for her think that he was laying a trap for her, though he wasn't. Standing at the front of the path the girl had pointed Lucians back was to her though his cloak flowed around him like flames of black and shadows, his hood turned slightly to face the girl once again, his right eye flashing like a blaze of emerald fire pushing violently against the darkness and locked dead on the girl. "Shall we then..." |
