Belle sighed as she stepped off the bus. Her bags were taken off and set next to her. With a frown, she reached over and picked up her stuff. She grimaced when she realized how heavy it was. "When did I pack so much?" She asked herself as she half carried, half drug the bag to the nearest bench. She picked it up with a heave and slung it onto the bench. She sat down heavily next to it and sighed in despair. "How am I going to get this all the way to the school?" She looked around to see if there was someone that could help her, but it seemed like no one was paying her much attention. She had a funny thought of singing and putting them all to sleep for ignoring her, but quickly shook herself free of the thought and turned back to the matter at hand. She was curious to see who would ask if she needed help..if anyone would. She leaned her head down and watched her dark blue hair fall foward and lay in her hands. They clenched around her locks of hair, as her eyes, that were the same color as her hair squeezed shut to keep the tears of frustration from falling down her cheeks after person after person walked by without a word. Did it not look like the little, lonely girl needed help with her luggage? Or did they disdain her materialistic tendencies for having so much? "They cannot judge me so quickly!" She almost shouted as she began to get angry. " I cannot carry this by myself..Cant they see that?"

"Need some help?" Kenny asked as he stopped in his place, having walked by Belle. A small groan arouse from the people around him, except from Caynce, who seemed to be spacing out as he normally did. Racoon rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, though no one was the one to see. Galilee tapped her foot impatiently, glaring at Kenny, and the black&white boy stood still, saying nothing as he stared at the ground, holding onto his hand. Hearing this, Kenny turned around, "Leave then, I'll catch up." he said, turning around before they had a chance to say something, knowing that Galilee or Racoon would defitnelty have a retort waiting for him if he waited for their response.
Galilee lifted her bare shoulders in a shrug, tapping the edge of her glasses and looking at her watch, narrowing her eyes. "Hurry it up, Kenny. I don't have the whole damn day." she growled, and then stood quietly as she continued to chew her gum. Racoon also spoke, "Kenny, you're really really a demanding bitch." he said, deciding that from now that would be his friend's nickname. But the redheaded boy ignored all these comments, watching Belle for her response.

Jaden stepped off of the bus and looked around. He saw a girl with a rather large bag and walked forward to ask if she needed help. But a group of people soon gathered around her. He suddenly felt a sickening pressure in his head and grabbed his head as if to stop the inevitable. "No!" he said, grasping his head. But it was too late. He became Zefrum, reverting back to his psychotic original personality. Zefrum laughed and looked over at the girl. It's useless Jaden. Just give up, he said to Jaden in his own mind. He smiled at the girl and walked forward.
"I see you need help," he said, looking around at everyone else, "Perhaps I can give you a hand. I'm probably more fit to help than any of them." He smiled at the girl, a forced display. He was thirsty for blood and pain. He was now in a new world and he was ready to match his skills against theirs, ready to cause real pain.

Oshaya walked down the sidewalk, neck-length raven locks flouncing about. Then, her wide oculars took in an all to familiar scene. A girl struggling with bags, and that typical cliche' male running ot her rescue. Ugh. How jaded was that scene? she continued forth until she reached the crowd of people. Seeing how they, and the little buss stop cutt-off the little section of the sidewalk, Oshaya decided she'd wait to go around until they all cleared.
Her arms were folded defiently across her chest, her head cocked slightly to the side, most of her weight shifted to the left side of her body. She watched as one guy came to help, and then another who pushed pass ass though he were the girl's night in shinng armour. "Are you serious?" Oshaya asked to no one in particular. "I pretty sure I could carry those bags...And are you seriosuly thinking that you're her prince charming?" Oshaya shook her head, dissapointed in the whole scene itself..What was this? Movie wonderland?

Belle looked up, startled but pleased that someone had offered to help. She smiled and her eyes sparkled in pleasure. "Yes..I sorta do need help..." She trailed off as she heard the groans and retorts of everyone he was with. "But...it seems like you are the only one who wants to help I am afraid.." She whispered sadly. She began to think that maybe coming here wasnt the best idea after all, if there were so many hateful people. Her head whipped around to a guy offering a hand as well. He seemed extremely confident and was giving the others quite a hauty look. She didnt mind it if he was rude to the others in the group, but the redhead was nice to her. She cleared her throat to turn his attention back to her instead of the group in front of her. "Like I said to..." She turned back asking with a glance what the boys name was. "Well...I said that I would like help...If there was no trouble involved..I would hate to take you away from whatever it was that you were doing.." She stood up slowly and waited for them to back up slightly so that she could stand up without knocking into one of them. "My name is Belle.." She said to the two that had offered help. She distinctly ignored everyone that stood behind Kenny. She heard one of the guys behind him call him Kenny. "Thank you so much for the offer. I have a lot of heavy things in there if you think you can carry them? I am going to the school." She pointed in the general direction of the Cassis high school. "If you would be so inclined to help me with my bags?" She asked hopefully as she turned slightly to the solitary man that had shown up behind her. "And you would be?" She asked, and her eyes caught sight of a girl that was showing obvious disdain and distaste for her situation. She frowned slightly, but realized that the girl was probably upset that she was getting no attention. Belle loosened up slightly when she realized that just moments before, she had felt the same way. She smiled to the girl slightly and turned her attention back to the men that were trying to help her.

"It's no trouble, really."The redhead offered, and Racoon muttered something under his breath, and Galilee tapped her foot even faster. Caynce turned away, walking towards Oshaya in an attempt to get away from all the protests and groan that he knew would soon arise from his group of 'friends'. Shaking his head, he stood beside the girl, though slightly farther away, and watched his feet, listening carefully to the conversation that was currently going on between the group, Kenny, and the other man, not to mention Belle, the name of the girl they were trying to help.
Hearing what the boy had to say, he nodded, "You're probably right, you seem stronger than me anyway, but I'd still like to help." Kenny said kindly, and Racoon spat out a reply as though the words were directed to him. "Jesus, Kenny, you're worse than Caynce." he shook his head, and Galilee nodded, "You're not supposed to sit there and take it you worthless piece of crap." the boy added contemptiously, rolling his eyes once again.
The redheaded boy shook his head, "Really, if you don't want to stay, you can leave and I'll catch up later." he said, sounding frutratingly patient.

Zefrum shook his head at all of the annoying people around him. He glared at each one. "Why don't you all just shut up? You're irritating me," he said, "You're lucky I let you live." He was so tempted to kill all of them right there, but that would be no fun. Toture was the only way to go. If he killed everyone, he would have no one left to torment. Still, he made a fist and a bit of acid formed in it. He was tempted to throw it in Kenny's face. He was a snobby little jerk and Zefrum absolutely hated a suck-up. "Yeah, why don't you help the lady with her bag, huh?" he said, throwing the acid onto the handle. The handle of the bag quickly burned away, the acid leaking into the bag. Zefrum made it disappear before it could cause too much damage, but he wasn't sure why. Perhaps Jaden was getting to him. He looked back around at the group. "I'm Zefrum Caedo," he said, letting them know the name of the one who would cause their end.

Oshaya took note of the boy who stood beside hr, and took note of his shyness. she shrugged it off, as she started to pick at her fingernails. She took note of the girl whosmiled at her, the one who wanted to play the damsil in distress. How typical. But anywho, who on earth was this guy that threatened her? She payed no attention to the other people in the minute crowd, but only him. He then stated his name.
"Uhm, I don't care what your name is, I don't like anyone promising me my future. I believe I'm in control of that, not you." She looked highly annoyed and irritated. Who was he to threaten her? He didn't know the last thing about her.

Belle blushed at Kenny's response to his own friends. "Really..you dont know how much I appreciate it.." She murmmered. She heard Zefrum begin to taunt the group and he actually burned the handle of her bag! "Hey!! Thats mine!!" She said outraged. "Im glad you are so sure of yourself, but did you have to ruin my property?" She saw the look of slight confusion pass his face, as quickly as it showed, it was gone. She paused, but couldnt help but focus on the fact that he had, in fact, ruined her bag. "Now what am I going to do?" She stomped her foot and glared at Zefrum. "You get to carry it now! Lets go! Dont just stand there looking all confident and..and...stuff!" She turned back to Kenny. "Please..go..I dont think you deserve this treatment..not now..not for me. " She smiled at him and turned back around, as she felt the smile melt away. It was placed by a cold hard stare. "Come on! I dont have all day. I didnt ask for my belongings to be ruined, but you asked for this..lets go." She pointed to the bag. "You can melt it...you can carry it."

Kenny shrugged, deciding enough was enough. "I'd love to, but you seemed to have ruined her bag." Turning on the heel of his shoe, Kenny threw one last, sneering comment over his shoulder, directed at the boy. "And just some advice: You might want to get that sand out of your thingy. It must iche horribly." he said, then continued on past Racoon and Galilee, taking a turn around the block and then disappearing. Racoon grinned, still invisble, and the girl shrugged. "Whatever, I don't have time for this bullcrap." she said, walking away, her heels on her boots slapping against the sidewalk.
Caynce stared, wide-eyed, as only he and Racoon remained from the group, and then shifted uncomfortably in his place standing, gray eyes darting around as he waited for something to happen, hoping it wouldn't be as bad as it seemed, or as bad as he thought. He knew it wasn't like Kenny to act that was, but he was expecting such behavior from Galilee. As for Racoon, he didn't know what would be next, not even knowing if the boy was still there, until he spoke. "Yeah, you must have had it in there for a long time, too." he snickered, taking pride in throwing comments at the boy before he turned and walked across the street and went somewhere, Caynce not knowing exactly where.
And now he was alone.

Zefrum turned to Oshaya in absolute rage. "Don't you talk to me like that," he said furiously, "You're lucky I even told you my name. If I wanted you dead, you'd be burned in a puddle of blood right now." He created more acid in his hand, ready to throw it in Oshaya's face. He heard Belle behind him and dropped the acid, burning the ground. He felt his blood heat up as she commanded him to carry her bag. "No one tells me what to do," he said. Zefrum was going to say something else, but then felt pressure in his head.
Jaden emerged and looked around at everyone. What had Zefrum done this time? It didn't look like he had killed anyone, but he did notice a bag with a burned handle. "I'm so sorry," Jaden said quickly to everyone, his voice much softer and controlled than Zefrum's. He had caught the last part of Zefrum's encounter and knew that he was supposed to carry Belle's bag. He looked at her with sad eyes, tears forming. "I'm very sorry," he said, "I hope he didn't hurt any of you. I'll carry your bag if you want." He tried to figure out how to lift the bag without a handle. With difficulty, he lifted it up and placed it under his arm, holding onto it with his other hand too. "I'll explain all of this later, if you want, but for now, I hope you can accept my appologies. Zefrum is rather dangerous." He wiped some moisture from his eyes. "Where are you taking this? To the school?" he asked, hoping to somehow to make up for Zefrum's hostility.

Was this dude insane? Well, apparently. Well, Oshaya had learned from past experiences that people who threatened you weren't worth your time, and to just go about your business, and to have a nice day. It was hard to swallow her pride, and not sya anything, but with abit of will power, Oshaya managed. And then, all of a sudden, out of no where, some nice and polite gentleman appears. What the hell? Uhm...Some explaining was seriously needed. "Hold on..Wait...Are you like an alter-ego or something? Because...Wow.." Oshaya shook her head in disbelief. From "I'm gonna kill you" to "So, how's life?" Strange...Real strange.

Belle almost sighed in relief when Kenny left. She felt bad for bringing that on him, if he hadnt of stopped to help her, he wouldnt have had to go through that..What was he talking about? She thought quietly to herself as she turned back to Zefrum. "No one tells you what to do? What a sheltered life you have led..It is time that changed.." She began as she noticed that there was a distinct change in Zefrum. "Oh..no you dont..dont act all goody-two-shoes like you didnt do anything.." She paused again as she noticed tears in his eyes. "Umm.." She was speechless when he actually picked up her bag."Yeah..its going to the school.." She whispered softly, as she tried to figure out what had happened to him. She was completely confused. "I would appreciate an explanation if you dont mind." She listened to the other girl and realized that she had a point. "Alter-ego..." She nodded her head. "Sounds about right.."

Jaden's head dropped and he shook it sadly. Tears started to form again. "I guess you could say that," he said, "I guess I don't exist. Zefrum..." he paused to wipe tears away. "Zefrum is crazy," he said, "and I suppose I'm a product of that insanity. I try to control him and to keep him from coming back. But he's too strong. I can't do it." He he sighed, wiping the last of his tears away and raising his eyes to Belle. "We should probably get this to the school before he comes back," Jaden said, "I don't want him to hurt anyone." Jaden lookeda round at everyone with a sorry expression. He looked at Oshaya. Let me out! I'm going to kill that girl! he heard Zefrum say in their mind. He tried to supress the voice, but couldn't. He decided to simply ignore it. "I'm sorry," he said, "I think you might be in danger. Please, if you can, could you stay away from Zefrum? If he could, he'd kill me." He shook his head and looked back at Belle. "Shall we go?" he asked. He felt as if he was making progress, but he was sure they could never forgive him. He knew Zefrum and he was sure he'd pull all of this again.

Belle watched the tears form in his eyes. He is truly sorry... She thought sadly to herself as he told them his situation. "Oh my..well..If he gets too unruly...I'll just put him to sleep.."She said nodding her head yet again, this time in self assurance. "I am not scared..Lets go to the school. I would hold the bag..but it has no handle now..and it was extremely heavy to begin with. I appreciate your help.." She thought about it for a moment. She could sing without putting people to sleep and was curious if singing would calm his nerves a bit. She shrugged and hummed happily as she walked gracefully(now that she didnt have the bag) to the school. She looked back. "Oh you do exist..if only to make Zefrum angry..which I believe you do.." She hid her face behind her hand and giggled. "I like you better anyway.." She said blushing. She turned back to the school and took up her humming again. She got into the song and actually put the lyrics to it and began to sing. She knew she was a good singer, so was not afraid for people to hear her sing.
