The future is Daunting

[Deon]

Salvador listened intently to Fleta's explanations, chewing thoughtfully on the inside of his cheek. He was a little surprised at his fortune, but nonetheless he felt pretty good. He was a devilish emperor with everything he needed to succeed as long as he used it correctly. That seemed pretty okay with him. But when she gave him the card as if in a warning, he took it a bit hesitantly. Maybe she was trying to help remind him to stay on the correct path. Funny. Salvador was going to be a fool for the masquerade. He glanced at the colorful man on the card and imagined his own face in the clothing. This would be the model for his costume. It was perfect. Now all he needed was a date. But hey, he was going to have no problems in his love life, right?

Then of course, there were problems in his immediate life. Salvador saw Seaheart's blue hair in the corner of his eye, the color catching his attention. He immediately shrunk in his seat, got up, and tried to hide himself behind the young Lexi, not exactly bothering to think about her consent to use her as a human shield. Salvador was deathly afraid of Seaheart. The police seemed to follow him wherever he went. Gunfights, murder, and then there was that Dementia thing he had going on... Dear god. What a crazy bastard.

He overheard the conversation that was taking place between Fleta and Lexi and immediately put his two cents in, hoping that Seaheart didn't notice him. "Really? You guys go to the school? What a coincidence! I just happen to be heading over there right now, and I would gladly accompany you two lovely ladies. I haven't seen any of you two there before. You all new?" Maybe if there were witnesses Seaheart wouldn't kill him. Then again, that didn't work with Dementia... but who knows, right? Might as well try. Besides, the fortune teller hadn't seen death in his near future, so he shouldn't be worrying. Right?

Right?!

Fleta was taken aback by the girls reaction. "Umm you are young and alone..it was a common deduction..but if you dont want me to hold your hand...then I wont.." She held unease in her eyes as she looked at the girl. She glanced up questionably to Salvador who had, in an extremely vain attempt, tried to hide behind a little girl. She was about to ask what was wrong when he started inviting himself to accompany them to the school. She sighed. "I guess I cannot stop you.." She said reluctantly. She was about to turn around when she bumped into someone. She was about to appologize, but immediately was hit by a sight she did not want to see. Her body went stiff as she was hit with a vision.

A man with blue hair, standing next to a man that looked like..not a monster, but definitely not human. His hands seemed to be claws..and he had was greenish in color. Fleta struggled to see their faces , but it was hard to do against the glare of the fire.....Fleta paused..Fire? She turned around so slowly it hurt. The entire city was destroyed. People being attacked as they ran fearfully down the street. Gifteds..attacking normal people. Fleta turned back to the two that had first appeared in her vision. There were a few people standing behind him. Two girls were huddling to the guy that seemed unhuman. One in particular was clinging possessively to his arm. The man with blue hair was immediately in front of her. She gasped and went to take a step back, but he grabbed her by the throat. He scowled at her then smiled maliciously. The smile is what sent the chill of absolute horror and dread down her spine. He began to lift her up and take her to a cliff. Holding her only by her neck, he dangled her over the edge. Metal appendages appeared around him. Each peirced her mercilessly, driving through her body with a massive force. He retracted them and watched her bleed. Her body was already becoming limp as he let her go. Her lifeless body tumbling down the cliff to the burning town....

Fleta gasped as she tried to catch her breath. She stumbled forward to get away from the person she had ran into..she had seen that from him. He had blue hair. What little color decorated her face drained quickly. Her knees began to shake so violently that she backed up and held onto the edge of the table. She stared at the stranger in complete terror. She brushed past him , avoiding contact as she tried to get to the school as quickly as possible. She stopped when she realized that she had left without Lexi. No way she was leaving without her. She braced herself and went back.

[Marr-ee]

Lexi kept her hands held into her body, not letting her hands be seen taking her attention to Salvador. He's going to go to the school, as well? Well, At least I know i'll get to the school soon. I really want to see my brother! Her blue eye's looked around at the people that were passing her and her attention caught on to a guy with long blue hair. She seemed stare at him, without knowing she was. A bad feeling came from him which made her want to run, but she had nowhere to go or let alone know where the school was. She took a step away from the direction he was going and turned her head. He's looking at me? What do I do... He's creepy. At that second she noticed that Fleta was gone. Panic rose in her, making her eye's dart around to see where she'd went. "Lady?... Where are you at?" She called out to her, but couldn't see her. Lexi started to walk away from SEaheart, until she noticed Fleta's form. "HEY... wait for me!" She ran up to her. For some reason, she already felt comfortable around her.

[Deon]

"Hey, girls? Girls? Where are you going?" Salvador asked with a hint of startled surprise in his voice as he leaped over to catch up with a dancer's grace. "You really should stay with me. Wouldn't want any delicate little things like you to get lost or abducted now, do we? Let's stick with the man of us all, now," he chided them with a face of mock seriousness. However, it seemed that there was probably something in his words that they should heed.

Of course, Salvador probably wasn't exactly the man of them all, especially when it came to Seaheart, but that really didn't matter, right? It was just a status. "I'll take you girls to the school." He turned to Lexi and her obvious youth.

"This will be your first year here, am I correct?" he asked, placing both of his hands on the small of the two girls' backs and leading them out of the main area of the crowd. He sighed happily, a smile on his face. "Ahh... Brings back memories." He jerked himself out of the trance he had slipped into of times past and flashed her a grin. "Oh, don't worry. There were good times, too. But watch out for some people. That guy that we saw earlier, his name is Seaheart. He's a real freak, brought the police right to Cassis School's doors once. I was there," he declared proudly, putting a thumb to his chest. "Be careful around that one. And another girl named Dementia... she's a scary one. She and that little clique she's in... All those girls are creepy. But most of the people here are fairly cool. You guys know your dorm assignments yet?" Salvador seemed in a chatty mood today. Then again, he was like this most of the time.

[Tiffany]

Fleta's face gained its color as Lexi made her way to Fleta, so she didnt have to go back to the murderous man with blue hair. She shivered as she waited for Lexi to make it to her. "I am so sorry..I was coming back I just..." She was at a loss to explain what she had seen, and she certainly didnt want to frighten Lexi with the story. She saw a bouncing flash of red as Salvador made his way to them too. She rolled her eyes when he said that they needed a man to guide them. She paid more attention to him as he named the menace that had terrified her without words. Seaheart.. She shivered again as she glanced over her shoulder to see if the blue hair was still noticeable in the crowd of people. She decided she didnt care if he was there as long as she wasnt. He asked if they had their dorm room assignments. She looked down at the peice of paper that not only told what number she was in, but who her dormmate was. She looked up at Salvador. "Stay away from Dementia?...It wouldnt be Dementia...Kemik...would it?" She asked hesitantly as she looked at the paper. The name seemed to become bolder and larger and press against the paper. Fleta realized that she was getting dizzy. What had she gotten herself into?

[Marr-ee]

Lexi turned around to Salvador as he made his way in the direction that they were going and figured that he was going to follow them instead of trying to be a 'man' and take them there. She laughed slightly hearing that he worded them as delicate things. Me delicate? Never get in a cat fight with me. I'll win... She teased herself as Salvador spoke to her. She seemed interested in what he had to say. "Well, It will be my first year, but it wasn't much expected. Seaheart is scary. Something about him scares me!" She paused a minute to think about the other name that he said. Dementia. It sounded scary, but until she met her, she would never know. "Well, like I said. My coming here isn't expected, so I don't know anything. By any chance, do you know a boy by the name of Wyatt?" SHe asked curiosity in her voice. It seemed to long for the name of her brother that she has been searching for.

[Deon]

"Yeah, Dementia Kemik, super-crazy-freak-o-rama. The one and only. Who else would be named after insanity?" Salvador replied to Fleta's stammering question. She seemed utterly spooked as she stared at a piece of paper. Salvador's curiosity got the best of him--he couldn't resist taking a peek. He let out a low whistle as he looked over her shoulder and read her dorm assignment.

"Oh, man. You're stuck with her. Wow." The situation got a little silent... and quite awkward. "Well, uh, best of luck to you!" He tried to put on a reassuring smile, realizing that he had scared the poor girl. Well, it's not as if he knew that she was going to be her roommate! "I mean, she really isn't that bad," he lied. "Just... sometimes."

He was glad when Lexi finally asked him a question, drawing him away from Fleta's dumbstruck and fearful stare. "Your coming isn't expected?" he repeated quizzically. What was that supposed to mean? "Um, Wyatt... Wyatt... Doesn't ring much of a bell," he replied in answer to her question. "Sorry I couldn't have been of any more help."

[Tiffany]

Fleta's hand began to shake. She was getting more and more upset about the situation she had gotten herself into. She remembered reading the cards and realized that they were painstakingly correct. She was in for some trouble. She felt the sweat break out on her forehead. She quickly wiped it away. "Okay..let me get this straight..I am stuck in a room...with a girl that you say is bordering on psychotic..that is in association with Seaheart?." The guy that is destined to kill me mercilessly?? She left that part unsaid, feeling it was best. She was shook out of her daze by Lexi asking if she knew a guy named Wyatt. "Why..no..I cant say that I do know him.." She thought about what she said about being unexpected. "So is that why you are alone? So who is Wyatt? Any relation? I didnt think it was right for a girl as young as you to be out and about without anyone...Not saying you cant defend yourself..but..You know.." She trailed off as she tried to think of better things than the situation with Dementia. She shook her head. I guess I will have to find a way to get along with her.. She thought desperately to herself.

[Marr-ee]

Lexi's face showed with hope that he knew her brother, somehow she would find him but she hoped that someone at the school would know him so she knew where he was. Alas as Salvador spoke about not knowing him, her head dropped slowly to look at the ground. He don't know him. How am I going to find him now? Wyatt, where are you...? She sadly thought about her big brother. She desperately wanted to find him, to be with him after not seeing him for so many years, but the way it was going so far, she wasn't having any luck. "I'm here to find my brother... I sent him a letter I was coming, but I didn't know I'd be coming so soon.. It was really unexpected as I said... My parents are afraid of me... and him. So they dropped me off to go to the school by myself." She spoke with a slight disappointment. She used to be their pride and joy after Wyatt left. Straigh A student in school and among her peers, she was mostly liked until her powers errupted. Now her life was turned upside down. No longer the favorite of the family, but as outcast like Wyatt. "Well, I can't really turn back time to tell them not to bring me here, but I can't...." Lexi looked at Salvador momentarily, but her gaze went back to the crowd, wondering if that seaheart guy was following them. He went to the school, so she already was afraid to meet him by herself. She sighed heavily as she saw nothing.

[Deon]

Salvador nodded at Fleta's summary of her situation. He hated to admit it, but she was pretty much spot-on in her assumption. "Yeah. That's basically it. And Dementia is more than just in association with Seaheart." His voice dropped a little lower as he spoke next, as if revealing a secret. "I'm pretty sure they're like... this." He crossed his middle and pointer finger over each other in what looked like an R in sign language to demonstrate their intimacy without actually saying it. "You know?" The metal machines that he had left in the garage had come in handy--they relayed the entire scene up until they ran off to the main hall to go to Dementia's dorm. He cringed at the thought of them almost going into his room. Wait. It wasn't his room anymore. Never mind. Cobalt deserved to see the girl who rejected him (even if he did get her once) in his room with another guy. Stupid asshole kicked him out. "Why? What's wrong?'"

[Tiffany]

Fleta raised a hand in a defeated gesture. "Oh nothing..I am new at a school..I know only two people I met on the street..and I come to find that I am rooming with someone that is extremely close to someone that will one day kill me and toss me over a cliff!" She said it all in one breath and gasped to not only get the air back, but in horror of the fact that she had said that out loud. "Oh dear.." She said as she searched for her dorm number. She tried not to look at Salvador. He probably thought she was crazier than Dementia now. She wished she could find her dorm, run inside, slam the door, lay in bed, trembling and sobbing at her dilemma..but she couldnt. For two reasons. One: She wanted to help Lexi find her brother. Two: She would never be one to give up so easily. She could think about it of course..but she would never act upon it. She sighed as she found the dorm number, curious as to see if Dementia had already set her stuff up in there. Of course she has.. She chided herself. She opened the door, threw her bag on the empty bed, that was bare of even bedsheets, so she knew it was unoccupied. She slammed the door shut, not ready to see what kind of roommate Dementia would be like, whether she was messy or meticulously clean, or if she had a few items that arent normal for a person to have..like a persons skull... Fleta shivered. If her imagination were a train, it would be running off the tracks at that moment. She shook her head. "Get ahold of yourself.." She reprimanded herself as she turned back to the two in the hallway."Lets go.." She muttered as she headed down the hallway.

[Marr-ee]

Lexi followed Salvador and Fleta into the school. She was amazed at how it looked. It was so big. Suddenly her hopes were down, and her face showed it. How am I ever going to find Wyatt now? This school is so huge... I will never be able to see him. I really hate you Lacey. If you didn't fight with me that day, I never would have found out about my powers. No, It's not your fault LAcey. I'm flawed. I'm a reject... She let her gaze go down the hallway at the multiple rooms. If I was to get a room... I wonder who it'd be? I hope it's noone mean... She convinced herself that she would be positive about the situation. She looked back at Salvador and Fleta. "You don't have to walk around with me... I'm sure I can find my brother... sooner or later." She put an emphasis on the word later. She brought her hands up and folded them infront of her. Her child like features searched the hallway hoping that he was just appear out of nowhere.

Wyatt left the Cafeteria and moved slowly up towards the stairs. His blue bangs covered his eye's as he watched everystep he took. I wonder when Lexus will be arriving. She said soon, but I just hope it won't be too soon. I wonder if Mr. Railen or any of the other teachers are around. I need to talk to one of them about my sister. She's so young to have powers. Two years younger than when I got mine, and it was hard on me! I really hope they can help her out. I hope she doesn't fall into the wrong crowd. There's so many like that here. You can never tell who's bad and whose good. Well, I'm going to go lay down. I really hope she's okay. I know my parents are very pregidice(?) about gifteds. If only she wasn't one of them... one of us... He let his eye's glance down the hallway toward his dorm room and what he saw made his lower lip drop in amazment and confustion. SHE'S HERE ALREADY?

[Deon]

"Toss you over a cliff?" he repeated as he raised an eyebrow. It almost sounded like Seaheart. But still, this was one queer little girl. If she wasn't so timid, maybe she and Dementia would get along.

Wait. Rethink that, Salvador. Did that thought actually just cross your mind? God. You're the one who's going crazy now.

He shook his head inwardly and found the door slammed on his face as Fleta dumped her stuff in the room. Salvador had a bit of curiosity. What did Dementia keep in there? Medieval torture devices hanging on the walls? Weapons on her bedside table? Bombs in the chest of drawers? A guillotine in the closet? As discreetly as possible, he peeked in while Lexi seemed to be wrapped in thought, and was utterly disappointed. It was normal. Worse than normal, even. It was perfect. Not a hair out of place. It didn't even look like someone lived there! Feeling unsatisfied, he let the door shut to hear Lexi tell him that she didn't need him to find her brother. Fleta walks out, freaks out, and practically runs away, trying to get him to follow. Where was she even going, anyway? And then, speak of the devil, Lexi's brother just happens down the hallway. Weird. Too many coincidences for him today. He rubbed his temples at the thought overload.

"Well, judging by the look on this guy's face, you know him. Now, looks like my job is done. Oh, psychic-woman? Yes, yes, you. Er, where are you going now?" he called to her.

[Tiffany]

Fleta faltered in her steps when she almost ran into someone climbing the stairs. He had blue bangs and brown hair. She murmered an appology when she sidestepped him, not really stopping for Salvador but answering over her shoulder. "I..Im going away from here!" She answered, not really knowing exactly where she would head off to, because she had to come back sometime in the near future. She just wanted to get away and clear her thoughts. She paused when she saw the guy she was passing staring open mouthed and slack jawed at Lexi. For some reason she got extremely protective of the young girl. Forgetting her problems, she stopped and turned to the man. "Is there some reason why you are staring at her like that?!" She yelled, not really sure why she was so upset. Maybe it was the cards that she dealt...the vision of her death...or the fact that her roommate would probably aid in her death..she wasnt sure..All she knew was that Lexi was alone at the school as far as she knew and Fleta felt...protective of her. She walked up to the man, poking him in the shoulder with a slim finger. "Hey..Im talking to you!"

((sorry for the short post..i havent been on in a few days..got to get back into the swing of things))

[Marr-ee]

Lexi watched as Fleta went in the room and came out, leaving her there to fend for herself. She was going to have to get used to it now, because she was now a reject of the world. Always going to be hated for being different. She turned around slowly to let her wandering start for her brother. Witt... Where are you at? I need you! She told herself, letter her gaze go to her feet. She didn't even notice that her brother was at the end of the hall. Her blonde hair fell over her face as she walked. It swayed with everystep and her dress moved like a slow wind.

~~~~~
Wyatt caught his jaw being dropped and let it go back and was about to yell out to Lexus when he saw the girl run out of her room and aimed toward him. He moved fast, but before he knew it the one who passed him, was suddenly yelling at him. One of his eye's, seemed to twitch slightly from being caught off guard. staring at her like that? What's she talking about, I'm her brother? Dang, these people are wierd. Just who does she think she is talking to me like that? Wyatt backed away from her giving her a strange look. His mouth opened slightly only to be baraded with one more question. "I know your talking to me, but I don't know why? What's up with you? Chill down..." He finally realized that she must have thought he was some strange guy that was trying to hit on the young girl. He smiled quickly and shook his head. "You've got it wrong... I'm Lexi's brother! I've been waiting on her!" He told her with a sarcastic tone to the way she talked to him. Moving away from her poking him, he took a few steps toward lexi after seeing her start to walk the other direction. "LEXI! LEXI!" He yelled for her, hoping that she would recognize him. It had been so long since they seen each other, but he remembered telling her in a letter that he dyed his bangs blue that way she would alway know who he was, if they were ever to meet again. It finally came in handy.

~~~

Lexi heard the voice behind her yelling and thought it was Salvador, she turned with a saddened face but when she looked at the guy with blue bangs she almost wanted to start crying. I... found you? You were right behind me all along.....WYATT! Her legs started to move fast as she ran to him in a dead sprint. Finally her form jumped as it made it to Wyatt, him catching her and she started to cry holding on to her brother.
"Wyatt.... I've missed you so much... I.... Mom and dad just dropped me off. They didn't even want to bring me here. Oh wyatt.. I was so scared. I was so scared." She finally let the emotions go and held on to her brother for dear life. Wyatt patted her back comfortingly and looked back at Fleta. Boy wouldn't she feel awful for the way she just treated him.
