A dark and stormy night in the Physsel Forest.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~It was a dark and stormy night. Alastor had been walking for most of the day now, he needed to sleep now. It seemed that all he did now was walk and sleep.~ "If I don't get out of this ran soon, I'll be sick in the morning." ~There was a massive thunder clap, and in the distance Alastor saw something. He picked up his pace. A second clap revealed it was a house, he drew closer. A third clap showed that it was a run-down and probably abandoned house. He forced open the gate, being of such a small stature he really had to work to get it open, vines and rusted had sealed the gate shut. He was finally in, and made his way to the front door. He could see no lights in the windows.~ "If the place is abandoned, I guess no one will mind if I stay the night."

~He reached for the door, it was unlocked.~ "HELLO~Alastor called out, there was no answer~" He made his way to the fire place, and lit the fire. It was a quaint room, some furniture hear and there, mirrors on the wall, a kitchen to the north of the house, a bedroom to the west and stairs to the attic.~ "I'm not to wet thanks to my cloak, but the cloak is soaked." ~He took the cloak off and sat it near the fire. Alastor then lay ed down on the floor and quickly fell asleep.~

Wyatt found himself at the mercy of the sudden storm that just happened to become the only thing standing in his way between the school and where he had came from. He looked up into the sky as he watched the lightning light up the path he was going and finally noticed that his path had disappeared. He silently cursed his luck. He trudged on through the wet thickets of grass and bushes with low hanging tree branches as they struck his face, creating a stinging sensation on his cheek.
Damn branches... Damn storm...Why of all nights, why tonight? He thought as he sheilded himself from yet another suicidal branch that threatened to hit him. He knocked it out of the way and peered through the tree's noticing at that moment, a light was coming from beyond his present standing way. The wind howled as he pushed himself off from a tree. A weary traveler in need of a dry place. He pulled back the dark blue locks from his face as the rain pasted them on his face. He covered his eye's momentarily as another lightning strike lite up the darkened forest. I sure hope that whoever is there, isn't afraid of the boogy-man. CAuse I probably look like it out here. He forced himself up to the door and quickly knocked on it, and took a few steps backwards and looked at the sky as a mountain sized thunder boom echoed.

~Alastor woke suddenly, there was someone there, or about to be, he could sense it. There was a knock at the door.~ "oh no, a gifted" ~His heart was pounding by now. He quickly scurried hehind the couch, trying to be as quiet as he could.~ "pleas go away, please go away~he whispered to himself~" ~The thunder shook the house to it's very foundation, the door started to open.~ "Please don't find me, please don't find me" ~Then Alastor realised he left his cloak infront of the fire and it was already to late to get it.~

[Marr-ee]

After waiting for a few moments, the rain still seemed to not let up and give the poor guy a break. Without another moment of hesitation, his hand met with the door yet again. "Is there anyone in there? I saw the light. I know someone is in there!" He called out, but half of his sentence was drowed out by the sudden thunder that kept his sound quiet. He shivered suddenly to the water that ran down the back of his neck. I could just go in and risk getting shot or mauled by some angry widower, or chance it and it could be empty. What am I going to do? If I stay out here, I'll surely end up catching my death faster than it will if I don't take my vials. He looked around for a moment more before placing his hand on the door knob and opened it slightly yet again taking a peek at the inside. It seemed toasty, the fire was lite and on the side there, seemed to be someone's wet cloak. It dripped water and formed a puddle underneath it which gave him the suspicion that someone WAS there. His deep blue eye's scanned the room and he creaked the door open more.
"PLease, if you'd be so humble, I'm a traveler, looking for the Cassis Academy. If I shouldn't be here, please give me a sign." He waited momentarily before not hearing anything. He edged in more to the room, noticing the dreary condition of this shack. It seemed old, he was surprised that it was still inhabited. Finally reaching inside the room enough, he waited for an answer and shuddered as a lightning strike lite up the room even more followed by a cursing thunder clap.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~"Cassis Academy?!?, What on earth could that place be?" Alastor thought to hi self. Was this man telling the truth, was he just a traveler?~ "Go away please just go away."~He whispered a tear had formed and started to stream down his cheek. His heart was about to burst out of his cheast it as beating so hard.~ "(a prayer)". ~Alastor shifted slightly and the old floor gave a loud squeek. His eyes; which were tightly shut, snapped open in a hurry.~ "Oh, no what have I done?"

[Marr-ee]

Wyatt jolted slighty to the creaking floor and instantly thought that it was his footing on the old dustboards of the foundation. He folded his arms up and sniffed slightly, feeling weird now, being in this house that wasn't his. I guess that noone is here, but something eerie about this place is kinda creaping me out. Maybe I should just leave and not risk meeting the owners. It would be a bad placement... He said to himself and turned around to leave, putting his hand on his stomach slightly. I need my vial... Shoot... Not now. My luck couldn't get any worse. He pulled on his pack that he was carring on his back and looked through the bottom of the bag and pulled out a vial full of an orange tinted liquid and he quickly gulped it down. He took a deep breath in slightly as he made his first step outside the door and let go of his stomache, shutting the door slightly. Thunder rolled over the horizon.

Mezzidok had been out in the storm and had strangely know wwhat it was. The only reason for this was because his parents beat him more on days with storms because they couldn't go out. Not the best way to learn a weather lesson, but he knew it was...what was that called? Bad? Oh yeah. Bad. It was bad if they couldn't go out. So he turned into mist, unsure where to go. He could stay mist until it was over.....but the wind might scatter him. He forced himself against the wind, not sure what to do. He saw some house as lughtning struck his exact spot. He was mist so it didn't hurt. He lolled over to the spot and changed back, opening the door without hesitation. Mezzidok, unfortunately, does not know about killers, or dangers of an abandoned house if your wondering why he's just going in.

He saw someone else and.....smelled someone else. The creak reached his ears well. Tigers, or rather all felines, had great smell and hearing. He gaave a low growl for some reason and went on all fours like a tiger. It was pure instinct to search out his prey. He was curious to ifnd the noise and smell. It took three seconds for his adanced sense, smelling the fear scent on the boy. He saw the boy and got up, instincts vanishing and asked "Why are you...crying? What have you done?" He asked with the same regretful look he always carried on his face.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~Alastor was startled. This person had an ability, but he somehow escaped his sense. He was found. The was another clap of thunder. Ideas of escaped raced through is mind for a few seconds after the man asked he questions. Then hew saw it a window to his left on the other side of the house. Was he fast enough to make it? He had to take the chance.~ "LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE!" Alastor ran for the window, he was there in just a few seconds, he jumped head first out the window, glass and metal clung to him, as he tryed to get the debre of of him as he ran there was another clap of thunder, and a bright flash, he was hit. He fell to the ground, knees first and smoke rose from his back.~ "Oh, no I've been caught.~he said lightly as he hit the ground.~"

[Seaheart]

Mezzidok became more confused when the boy started to run. He saw him jump through the window. He was gonna ask why he ran and why he wanted to be alone. Mezidok broke into a sprint and jumped through the window, becoming mist. He saw him get hit by lightning and known that was the thing that kept his parents inside. It had to be....bad. Was it meant to catch him, he htought catching his last words. He turned regular, looking down at him, curious what to do.

[Marr-ee]

Wyatt carried himself slowly, he had no idea where he was going, and he didn't know when he would get there through the storm. He kept his head down, watching to make sure he didn't get into a sink hole of mud or anything. That would just be the icing on the cake if he had any more bad luck. Well, I guess if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Then again, I could just have no luck and deal with it. He told himself and shook his head letting his wet hair act as if a wet dog. He couldn't muster the strength to laugh at himself, but suddenly stopped when he heard a shattering noise. THE HOUSE? He turned around and with energy he didn't know he had, ran back to the house he just came from wondering what just happened. He eye'd the house, It still seemed to be in the shape it was when he left it only few minutes ago. Then he eye'd a body that was laying down, with the lightning, he saw glass over him. He hesitated about going near the guy, but without another thought, he ran over to him.
"DUDE? You okay?"

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~It hurt so much, the blinding pain, the smell of singed flesh, and the hole in the middle of his back didn't help much either.~ "urg, cough, what happen..." ~Alastor remembered now, he was running from the man in the house. He couldn't move. He han't healed enough yet. His sense kicked in, the other one was near again.~ "Oh, no not now. I can't move." ~The hole in his back was starting to close and the cuts from the glass had healed seconds before. The other was there now. Alastor heard him say something but his ears were still ringing from the thunder strike.~ "Please don't hurt me." ~He could move his arms a little no, he tried to crawl, but he had no strength to do so.~

[Seaheart]

He looked down at him, then to Wyatt. He would have asked what a dude was but then saw as the hole in his back started to heal. He remembered all the injuries he had taken from the beatings...they never healed like that. "How did that hle heal so fast? Why would we hurt you?" He then looked to Wyatt and asked "What's a dude?"

[Marr-ee]

Anthony watched the guy. It was so strange that after all that, he seemed to be healing himself. Weird? HAd he not had a 'similarity' to him with having his own gift, he probably would have though he were some type of demon.
What's going on.. He's healing himself. How strange, he MUST be a gifted... I have officially met my first one. Something caught his ear of the guy saying 'Don't hurt me'. It shocked him to think that he thought someone would hurt him. Instantly, he turned to the guy who seemed to come for the exact reason and looked at him when he asked what a 'dude' was. He pushed it out of his thoughts. Someone who was hurt was more important than someone asking a relativly weird question. "Dude.... I'm not going to hurt you... I'm searching for something. Are you okay... Do you need help?"

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~It looked like these people were not going to hurt him, but then again, looks can be decieving. He could move his body a little more now, but he still hurt, the hole in his back was about half way closed now, but as the rain hit it, it redefined the definition of pain each time. The ringing in his ears was still there, but mostly gone. The one who asked if he was ok was the closest, so he turned to him.~ "Please take me inside, the rain it hurts so.." ~He couldn't speak anymore. He passed out, he was amazed he stayed awake that long anyway

[Seaheart]

Mezzidok looked at him for a few moments, then granted his wish. His face changed from regretful, to a knowing solemn face. He would not deny the privlege he hadn't recieved from his parents. He lifted him up, and put the boy on his back. Whenever he had passed out from the beatings, they left him there, unable to go to his room. He loved his room. His parents never beat him there. Most kids hated having to go to their room, but not Mezzidok.

It was the only time he wasn't beat. Sometimes leaks came in the house, and where Mezzidok had collapsed, the leak hit his injuries, so when he woke up, it still hurt. A lightning bolt flashed, seeming to come toward them. He turned and snarled at it with fangs bared,as if trying to scare it away to not hurt him. For a second, all lightning stopped as if it had been, but then resumed. He kept going toward the house until he was there. He pushed open the door, and layed him down, waiting.
