Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

Who I'm With: Why'nn and James


What I'm Doing: Going after James


Connor stood up from the floor and caught up with James. "No, stop. It's not that I don't trust you, because I do. I...I didn't realize that there was something I wasn't ready to share. It has nothing to do with you personally. It's something I'm ashamed of and...I will share it with both of you in time. That was an amazing feeling, and I do want to try again." Connor looked down, ashamed of himself. "I know that sorry probably isn't good enough, but I do what you to know that I am." Connor placed a hand on James's shoulder. "I do appreciate that you trust us both...You're a great person..."





Connor looked back to Why'nn and then back to James. He looked as though he wanted to say more, but decided he should bite his tongue at this point. He gave James a small smile, then walked back over to Why'nn.

What I'm doing: Trying to fix


Why'nn changed positions, into a kneeling bow.


"We have melded before. You know I did not attempt to hide anything from you. I apologize. I do trust you. James, the only things new for you from me were the new memories." 'It is not that I do not trust him... I just... I did not gain caring for other beings until this school. I killed that girl and many others with no remorse or second thought.' "If you must pull back from us, I do understand." And, truly, thanks to the meld she did. "I have not hidden anything from you, even outside of the meld. And you still trusted and cared for me after knowing the monstrous truth of my being. I expected you to kill me... Until I saw the truth of your being. You know I almost wanted you to. After all, what am I but an abomination? However, your soul is pure, your thoughts are without deception. Truly, you are worthy of and destined for greater things than this." 'Captain.'





The girl dared to look up at him, letting the false features slide away. Her face, as a blank mask, had no perceivable nose. Her right eye appeared to be a hole now, though her left eye and mouth remained, more or less, the same. However, as she began to speak there was no normal muscle movement. While her jaw did, indeed, open and close, Her face seemed to hold no particular musculature.





"You know my true face, my true being and yet you still called my soul beautiful. You saw the atrocities of my past, what I was destined for before coming here, and you did not pull away. I attempted to hide nothing from you. I will attempt to hide nothing from you. You understand I deal in truth, not in lies. Use the interrogation spell if you wish to confirm this. You are my Captain. To hide from you would be death."

Who I'm With: Why'nn and James


What I'm Doing: Unsure


Connor watched as Why'nn took a kneeling position before James. He almost felt a pang of jealousy, but forced that out of his mind. She was just doing what he had done. She was trying to show James that she cared, that she did trust him. That's all that Connor had done, just in a different way. No. No jealousy would affect him tonight. Not after what he just experienced with these two people. What was bothering him now were the chambers. Connor had done something so wrong, so stupid, that he knew if Why'nn found out, she would probably want to kill him for it. He wanted to retreat now. Go back to his dorm room and punch the wall for his stupidity, but he had to make sure things were going to be alright. So, he stayed where he was, and watched the situation, hoping James would understand.


Location: Grandmother's Room


Who I'm With: Grandmother and Avalyn


What I'm Doing: Thinking


Talia sat on the couch in Manara's room, thinking on things from earlier. She had almost slipped up and said that Connor was her father. No, that wasn't really what was bothering her. She knew what was bothering her. Despite the vigorous, and sometimes cruel, training her mother instructed her with, she desperately missed her. Talia removed her gloves and slammed them down on the couch next to her. She buried her face in her hands, trying to hide the tears that had begun to well up. She wanted nothing more than to have an embrace from her mother, even though those were rare things. When she had come up here earlier, the hug from her grandmother was nice, but...it wasn't the same. Talia finally looked up, a few tears sliding down her face. "This is harder than I thought it would be...I do not wish to be here anymore. I do not even understand why we had to come here."





Location: My Quarters


Who I'm With: Talia and Avalyn


What I'm Doing: Consoling?


Manara looked up from the book she was reading when Talia finally spoke. She could sense that the girl was struggling ever since she encountered them earlier in the day. With a small smile, Manara closed the book, and moved over to sit by Talia. "Ordinarily giving sage advice is something I don't do for students. However, since you are both clearly Why'nn's daughters, I will give you some advice. Things are never easy, and reasons for those things to happen are rare. You simply need to make the best of the situation. Once Why'nn warms up to you some more, I'm certain things will be different. Why'nn is slow to trust, and it's going to make things harder since you are a girl." Manara put her arm around Talia and pulled her into a sideways hug. "Time and patience, grand daughter. Time and patience."
 
Location: Grandma's quarters


Who I'm with: Grandma and Talia (@KalenNighteyes)


What I'm doing: Not being consoling


Avalyn glared at her sister. "Then leave. Go back. You have the spell. I can do whatever it is without you. Run back to Mom and Dad. Go cry over how hard it was for you. They'll coddle you like always."





The girl wasn't honestly angry at her sister, just extremely hurt, as always, that Talia wanted to leave. Not only that, but going back meant the fractured state again. Going back meant she wasn't allowed to see either of her parents or Uncle James unless they came to the academy. Thankfully, Uncle James was there more often than not as he taught classes.





"You wanna leave just because you aren't perfect at this, because it's hard. Just leave. I'm staying right here." She was standing, her arms crossed as she glared at her sister. What made it worse was that her sister was now getting affection from Grandma. Avalyn wanted that. A bit of jealousy tinged her hurt.
 
Location: Grandmother's Room


Who I'm With: Grandmother and Avalyn


What I'm Doing: Talking


Talia pulled away from Manara and glared at her sister. "Just because I am having a hard time, does not mean I am going to leave. What I am feeling right now is no different that what you have been feeling. I know you can't go back Faerun and see mother and father as much as I can. It is the reverse for me. Mother has tried to keep me away from this place at all costs. Away from you Avalyn. We are twins. If it was just me here right now, I would be missing you just as much as I miss mother." Talia grasped her sword hilt and began to pace. She couldn't believe her sister would assume that she would just up and leave her.





"I will not be parted from you again, Avalyn. When we do go back, I am going to tell mother that I want be with you." Talia walked over to her sister, and knelt down beside her. She couldn't fault her for being angry as she had been rejected from multiple universes and probably felt she didn't belong. With a sigh, she took her sister's hand in hers. "I am sorry, Avly. Earlier I had an encounter with mother and it freaked me out. I was not intending to leave you. If anything, I understand how you feel now."

Avalyn's glare broke and she looked down. "Mom doesn't want you around me?" Tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom hates me, doesn't she? I'm the failure, aren't I?" The girl tried to stop the tears from falling. "Dad probably hates me, too... What did I do to make them hate me? Is there something wrong with me? There is. I'm a reject from everywhere. I bet it's not long before this universe kicks me out, too. I bet I only have a couple more years." She pulled her hand free and strode toward the exit. If she was going to be rejected by everywhere might as well cut ties now.

Talia stood quickly and caught her sister's hand. "That is not what I said, Avly. Mother tries to keep me away from here because she fears the Headmistress. She keeps me from here because she can. She counts on Uncle James to keep you safe from the Headmistress. I know mother has always seemed cold around us but..." She looked down and said a silent prayer of apology to Lord Jergal. "The deity mother and I share does not approve of attachment. I can not explain as I still do not understand it completely myself."


Talia sighed, and she would probably regret telling her sister this. "A few nights before we were both to be sent here, I heard mother crying and father consoling her. She was crying because we were both leaving. She was telling him that she was worried that she would never see either of us again and hated herself for how cold she had been toward us..."

Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ), Connor (@KalenNighteyes )


What I'm doing: Telling her it's okay


James looked at Why'nn as knelt and she showed him her real face. Slowly, James knelt so that he was at eye level with her, and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her close to him. He began to gently pat her on the back.


"Why'nn, you're not an abomination. You're a good person, and I know it. You can lie to yourself all you want, but me and Connor both know the truth. That you're beautiful, and your soul reflects that. You're beautiful, because you came from somewhere so dark, yet your soul is still so bright. By all rights, no one would blame you for being a cruel, sadistic person. But instead you're kind, and you inspire both of us to do great things. You know, if I hadn't talked to you on the first day of school, I probably wouldn't've become Mistress Imalia's apprentice. I'd probably be that same scared kid pulling himself out of a garbage can."


James continued to pat her on the back as he looked at Connor standing behind her. He practically screamed in his head, using regular thought so that Why'nn wouldn't hear.


"You gonna just stand there, or do you maybe want to help me cheer up your girlfriend?"

Who I'm With: Myself as far I know.


What I'm Doing: Playing the Violin and whining about life


Ivela walked slowly around the courtyard, playing a rather solemn song. She was thinking of her silly little brother again; she was thinking of his smile. A sweet, innocent smile that he always wore. It used to sicken her. He was smirking at his triumph, laughing at her pain. She treated him with nothing but cruelty back then, but now she missed his goofy grin. The child would never even remember her name...which was not fair.


Nothing was ever fair. It was like life was out to get her. What had she ever done? She had always been the perfect child...and then that little brat was born.


Ivela was instantly ashamed of herself. Assassins do not complain. They endure. She just...despised that things couldn't always go her way! She deserved more! 'It isn't fair...'

What I'm doing: I don't know yet


"No, that's exactly what you said. You said, 'Mother has tried to keep me away from this place at all costs. Away from you Avalyn.' So you can't change it now. And I don't know you. I don't know if you're a liar. I only knew you when we were really little and since then I've seen you, what, once a year? If that? So how do I know you're not just trying to cover for her?" Still, Avalyn didn't pull her hand away. "I know Uncle James cares about me. I know Grandma and Grandpa care. Dad could be faking it. I see the way he looks at you versus how he looks at me. And Mom has not once hugged me since I was banished from Faerun. She's not said she loves me, she barely speaks to me, so you saying she was crying falls a little short of believable."

Who I'm with: James (@TommyGun15) and Connor


What I'm doing: Hugging


"I would not want you to be in pain." She hugged him close, her face returning to the one they knew. "Kindness is weakness... there. Yet here it serves to help. Is this as an outlander society?" Why'nn rested her head against his shoulder. "You did not balk at my memories, nor did you strike out at me as you could have. Neither of you did." Though she had felt Connor's discomfort with the memory, which made her nervous to show him anything else regarding it. She closed her eyes, but there were no tears to be had.


"Captain," she whispered, "you have my complete trust and loyalty."

What I'm Doing: Comforting


Connor forced himself not to glare at James, and he didn't even respond to his voice. Instead Connor moved over to Why'nn and took her hand. "I already know how I feel about you, Why'nn. When I saw that memory, yes, I was a little uncomfortable, but I'm over it. I don't care about that. I care about you and who you are." He tapped her shoulder lightly. "Nothing you can show me would ever change that. It's like James said...Despite the darkness, you have such beauty." Connor didn't say anything more than that. He felt that any other words he had would simply be redundant.

Talia shook her head. "That is still not how I meant that. She was not keeping me away from you specifically. She was keeping me away from this place and, by extension, you. She was not intending it to be that way, but I can understand how it would feel like that. I have been so angry with mother ever since I started being able to see you less and less. I have endured mother's punishments because I have been so angry with her for not letting me come here to see you. Even the day we left..." Fresh tears formed in Talia's eyes. "Mother and I had an argument just before we went through the portal. I-I-I told her that I hated her for keeping me away from you..." Talia wanted to turn and hide her tears, but she didn't. She kept looking her sister in the eyes. "Mother was not intending on keeping me from you, but by barring me from coming here, that is how it felt." Talia sighed. She realized she was repeating herself now that she was so upset. This was something her father had passed down to her, and it was rather annoying.
 
Position : Over-Predor's Office/Transient


Companions : Over-Predor Auros (@folclor) , MY! Under-Predor (@shadowstrikr25)/MY Under-Predor


Engaging in : Observing/Hiding Weakness , And now Transporting


HK-50-01 immediately decided to stop speaking when both his Over AND Under-Predor's seemed to be confused by what he had said. I.. I only Told Why'nn about all this , didn't I? I suppose I may have to explain all of it later.. For now I'll just be quiet and observe the Ascendancy.. It did , however , annoy him that he had started a modified ritual that wouldn't be completed. After all, the Old Rakata were creatures of Ritual - and it certainly didn't make him look good to be spouting nonsense.


Originally he had intended to do more of the Ritual , but instead he watched this 'Binding' His Over-Predor was performing. Naturally , he hadn't had one performed - droids didn't possess souls , or at least ones that could be 'bound' to any being's Will. And aren't droids already subservient enough? Why do we need another layer of 'DO WHAT I SAY!' Added upon already being a peice of property? That's just taking it too far. Rouge droids can't possibly be that dangerous anyway..


After the binding ritual was finished , the beast appeared before both himself and his Under-Predor - whose terrified screams made him almost show weakness. He didn't enjoy other's fear like the Sith Lords , His Over-Predor - or , even , as Oh-Seven and Oh-Nine used to. I.. Can't help her , as much as I would like to. No no , Over-Predor Auros would be most displeased if I did that. I'm.. I'm sure she can find a way out of this. Why did she ask for my assistance first , anyway? Just because I'm here and the others aren't? Oh-One's metallic hands nervously fidgeted with increasing frequency as the Ascendancy drug on , but he quickly hid them behind his back as if he was merely a Predor , impartially observing his underling's Ascendancy.


The moment his Under-Predor emerged - in a rather impressive display , one even a Sith or a Predor of the Infinite Empire itself would've found impressive - HK-50-01 gave a silent thanks to both pantheons of Rakatan Dieties. ..I didn't need to see that.. But I'm glad I did.. She could be a rather useful member of the army I'm building as well , second to myself , instead of another Droid. At the idea he could take her for treatment , he quickly ran forwards and grabbed the Female's comparatively small frame , relieved so greatly that he didn't notice being referred to as 'The Droid' - not that he would've cared normally. Before he left , he quickly said - "Explanation : I will be taking her to get all these scars removed. Normally that wouldn't be that way , but I myself cannot possess scars. Why should my Under-Predor? I'll be back soon to show you my.. Creation , Over-Predor."





This was followed by quickly running back into The hallway - HK-50-01 , however , was going more slowly than he usually would have , owing to having an injured body in his hands. He decided to speak to her on their way to the MedBay , giving her the gratitude he felt she deserved. "Encouragement : you did wonderfully , Under-Predor Reagan. In fact , I'm tempted to allow you to be a Full Predor , since , you know , my traditions are of a dead species. In fact.. You did better than I imagined a Fleshsack could do. Where did you get all this power of yours , Under-Predor? A Rakatan Predor of the Infinite Empire itself would've found that a most impressive display! I'm happy to have such a powerful Under-Predor , Reagan.. Now , let's get all these wounds healed. Like I said.. I can't have any scars. You certainly shouldn't , either."

With:Kiya the Wolf


What:Going to get DINNER


Extra:Anyone can join in...


Richard was still kinda hurting from the last fight, maybe next time he'll win, since before then, he's going to go pump iron... "This school has a gym right?" Kiya just tilted her head a bit and then tilted it back to normal, "You're no help now are you?" Richard said, "Well, I'm new here to you dumb ass..." Richard chuckled a bit, he still had a large splinter of wood in his arm that he had no idea of until now, "God that hurts..." the splinter was perfectly hidden under the arm, to where nobody in front of him wouldn't be able to see it. "Alright...let's see..." he stopped at a bathroom and went to the sing, he took out his kukri knife and removed the splinter, not a ton of blood, but it needed to be cleaned. So he went to the first aid kit that was hanging on the wall, and took some disinfectant and poured a bit on his arm, then wrapped it up.


After that he started walking to the cafeteria, hoping they may have some STEAK or RIBS. It's been forever since he's had some, and would give anything for a few of each.

What I'm doing: Being comforted


Why'nn smiled gently. "The both of you are so warm. You are filled with colors and memories and mirth. Both of you are bright and clear and pure. I like you. I love you." In this, every form of 'you' was meant as plural. In both of their arms she relaxed. This was safety, this was contentment. "I love you." If she could, she would snuggle with both of them for the entirety of the night.

Avalyn frowned. "Yeah, you still haven't convinced me you're not a liar. I can't trust you." She shrugged and pulled her hand away. Now, she could sense her sister's emotions and the veracity in Talia's words, but she was still too hurt and it hurt worse that Grandma hadn't tried to offer either of them comfort. So Avalyn walked out of Grandma's quarters, shattered a window in the hallway and jumped, using the Force to slow her descent. She landed safely on the ground and began to walk away.

Hearing him say that hurt Grim. He wasn't going to abandon his brother. "Whatcha mean, she'll take up me free time?" The otter turned to look Valian in the eye. "I dinnae choose 'er over ye! An she knows 'ow impor'ant ye are ta me!" He was getting a bit frustrated now, Valian seemed to think he was going to forget about him. After three years of being by each others side. He could not bear the thought of not having Valian in his life.

Manara walked past Talia. She could see that the girl was only trying to help her sister understand. She had felt that this was something the two of them should work out, but when Avalyn ran out and shattered the window, Manara decided to go after her. Manara jumped out the window and landed with ease behind Avalyn. "Coward. Is this what you do when a situation becomes too hard for you? You simply run away from it? The older version of me must have been soft in your training. You have the Force and you have telepathy I'm guessing. I think you'd just rather be angry with someone. Why don't you be angry with me?" Manara walked around in front of her now and motioned toward herself. "Come on. Be angry with me instead of your sister who was all but begging you to understand."

Connor smiled, understanding what Why'nn meant. He was going to say more, but he didn't want to ruin the moment, so he just sat there, holding onto her and savoring this moment. He knew that in a couple of days they'd likely be fighting one another in the tournament and he didn't like the thought of that, but he wouldn't say it aloud. He let out a contented sigh as he scooted in a little closer to Why'nn. This moment was perfect and he didn't want to leave it. "I love you too..."

What I'm doing: Talking


"Woah, hold on. I never said you were choosing between us!" 'Even if I think you will at some point...' "I mean that when two people get into a relationship they end up taking most, if not all, of their free time to be together for quite a while in the beginning. It's normal. No, you're not choosing her over me or me over her." Valian smiled up at his brother. "The two of you will just want a lot of time together, that's all. And I get it. It's normal." He took a deep breath. In reality he didn't get it, even if it was normal. He'd tried a relationship but really didn't understand the draw.

Who I'm with: Grandma (@KalenNighteyes)


What I'm doing: Confronting


"Yeah, sure, cause it's anger I'm feeling." Avalyn frowned and crossed her arms. "No. I don't have telepathy. I don't have divine magic. I don't have any of that. Not psionics, not arcana. Hells, the only things I got from my parents are my looks." Though she didn't know it, she'd also inherited a penchant for jumping out of windows from her mother. "I barely know my mother's language. You know what they found when they looked at my genetics? A quarter human, a quarter undead, and half Pureblood Sith. I'm not Mulan like my mother and sister. I don't even know if the human I have is from my father. I'm a stitched together thing that Faerun didn't want and your universe sure as hell didn't want. Faerun let me exist for 4 years before shooting me out while yours barely let me be there 6 months. I'm on a timer. How the fuck do I know this universe will keep me? You wanna know what happens when people get rejected from this world? The one that's for rejects? They cease to exist and it's like they were never there in the first place. If this universe kicks me out you won't remember me, Talia won't remember me, Mom won't, Uncle James won't, Dad has a slim chance at it, and Grampa won't know either. I will never have existed. It's how universes heal from shit like me. The only reason everyone at this school is remembered right now is because this universe exists for them to go to. But where will I go when I disappear from here? I won't. I won't have anywhere to go so all the universes that ever had me in it will cleanse themselves of everything I've done and every interaction I've had. All the missions the headmistress sent me on won't matter, all the training will be for nothing. I'll be gone. You won't know. None of you will know but my soul will be floating somewhere in the nothingness between universes begging to be seen again and I never will! So, yeah, I want to be angry."





She wasn't crying, she refused to cry. "Yeah, we don't know if it'll happen for sure, but Grandpa and you and Uncle James all think it will. And none of you will tell Mom or Dad or Talia and I'm gonna be the one stuck on the outside, having to watch and not being able to do anything!"

Manara kept her eyes on Avalyn the whole time as she listened to the girl vent her frustrations. When she said what would happen to her if this universe rejected her, a small pang of guilt passed through her, but left quickly. Manara took a few steps closer to her granddaughter. "Then future me, future James, and future Delrick are all idiots. This is where the rejects come. You won't be rejected or forgotten if I have anything to say about it. I have waited too long for someone like you to come along and I'm not going to let you go willingly." Manara stepped next to Avalyn now and placed her hand around the girl's shoulder. "You're half Sith Pureblood you say? There's only one place Nishira would have gotten that DNA. You're looking at her. We are connected. You have one hell of a fiery personality and even if we did forget you, your father wouldn't. If Connor is the man I think he is, not only would he give us his memories of you, he would move heaven and earth just to make sure he could get you back. We all would once we knew." Now Manara pulled the girl into a hug. "Talia isn't good at wording things I gather and I'm not defending her. She clearly made that up there about herself and that wasn't fair of her. But I can tell she loves you and that she has missed you. Maybe instead of worrying about what your parents think of you, focus on the person who wants to be with you and is so glad she is. Your sister. As it stands, besides me, she's all you've got here right now." Manara pulled back slightly to look the girl in her eyes now, giving her a faint smile, hoping that her words were making it through her obvious pain.

Activity: Winding down


Lazarus decided to retire to his room after filling out some last-minute assignment reports.


After forcing open the door, Lazarus kicked off his shoes and plopped onto his bed, which was a far cry from under his desk. Hell, Lazarus would go so far as to call the bed "comfy".


After detatching his synthetic arm, a process Lazarus needed to do at least three times a week if he didn't want the flesh surrounding the prosthetic limb to rot away, Lazarus laid back onto a pillow and began counting midgets.


As he drifted off into sleep, Lazarus dreamed of adventures out in the wastes of Pandora, how it compared to his time with Maliwan on Eden-4. It was there where Lazarus thought up a new lesson plan for his students: elemental weaponry.


Lazarus slept with a smile on his face.

"I... You're my best friend Why'nn... Both of you are my best friends. Hey, I've got something I should tell you about. I can't give you all the details, because, well, you know...

He listened to his brother and nodded. Taking a moment to think about it and about the past two months. He and Violet had spent quite a bit of time together as it was. But he didn't want to push Valian away. The otter shrugged and sighed. "T'ings are differen' back 'ome I guess. But dis is new fer me too. I ain't ne'er been wit a 'uman afore." He chuckled. "Dat cannae be normal. Right?" Looking out over the water, he thought back to before he ended up here and females he'd chased and who'd chased him. "I t'ink we be at de growin' stage, past de initial time part."

"No, you don't understand. None of you are fools. I am likely to be rejected because I blinked out for a month before we came here and I was only able to come back because I got rid of part of myself but it's going to grow back. And when I was gone for a month not even Dad remembered me! No one remembered me. When I came back no one remembered that I'd been gone. They all said I was just gone on a mission or something but couldn't give specifics. When I told Grandpa about it... he told me that was me blinking out. He said that's what people did in Faerun before they disappeared..." She shook her head. "No, it's gonna happen so..." Avalyn pulled back. "Talia doesn't know and it wouldn't matter if she did. It'd just make her feel worse. Besides, she won't miss me when I'm gone."


Location: Common Room


Who I'm with: James (@TommyGun15) and Connor


What I'm doing: Listening


Why'nn tried to nod but it came out as a nuzzle. She was tired and considered seeing if they could, all three, curl up here to sleep. She knew she wouldn't be allowed in their dorms and they wouldn't be allowed in hers. Father wouldn't be happy with her bringing the boys with her. They would hear and see all of these desires.

Who I'm with: Grim (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna)


What I'm doing: Talking


Valian laughed. "Nah, she'll want to be really clingy. Yeah, girls here are pretty weird." He shook his head. "Look, you have a lot more experience with relationships than I do, that's obvious. All I'm saying is I won't get in your way. Now... we gonna go back to the school or spend the night out here?"


((Everyone, please make your final posts for this night. I'm skipping us to the tourney in the next post.))

Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor ), Connor (@KalenNighteyes )


What I'm doing: Going to sleep


Sensing what Why'nn wanted, James used his levitation to lift the three of them up and set them all on one of the large couches. James floated some blankets and pillows over, then wrapped his arms around Why'nn and curled up next to her under the sheets, resting his head on her shoulder.


"Goodnight..." He mumbled, mere seconds before falling asleep.

Who I'm With: Avalyn


What I'm Doing: Talking


Manara moved and grabbed Avalyn by the face and made her look at her. It wasn't a hard grab and she wasn't hurting her. "You listen to me, and you listen well. I won't let you blink out of here. I will do everything I can to keep that from happening. I won't pretend to understand how carrying that around is making you feel. It has to be devastating. I will have a conversation with Nishira. I think you need to have a civil conversation with your sister about things. She might not know you're gone, but if you remember being gone, you're going to carry around the guilt of not fixing things with her. At least you'll know you managed to make things better between you two." She let go of Avalyn now. "In the mean time, I'm going to tell Connor who the two of you are. I will do everything I can to make him remember you and I'm certain he will. If not him, then asshole who lives in his head with him. One of them will remember you."

What I'm Doing: Going To Sleep


Connor chuckled at the sensation of being lifted and held onto Why'nn. This a great moment and he wanted it last. Any thoughts of jealousy had gone from his mind. All he cared about now was being here. With a yawn, Connor leaned his head onto Why'nn's shoulder and closed his eyes slowly. "Good night..."

Who I'm with: My two favorite people (@TommyGun15 @KalenNighteyes)


What I'm doing: Cuddles


This was calm, this was good. Why'nn sighed in contentment as James and Connor laid against her. She wanted to snuggle with both of them and now she had that. More than one dream came true this day. The warmth of their bodies, the rhythm of their breathing, the weight of them resting against her. Her arms wound around both of them, holding them close to her.


Softly, gently, she sang a lullaby. Her voice would be barely above a whisper, but were they awake they would hear.


"Above black eagles wheeling,


All of a sudden swooping,


My little baby stealing,


Sleep, little baby, sleep.


Above black eagles soaring,


A crown of pearls left lying,


Your stupid father snoring.


Sleep, little baby, sleep.


Above black eagles flying,


My little baby clutching,


And all the world a-spying,


Sleep, little baby, sleep.


Above black birds ascending,


My baby’s flesh a-rending,


And all the world attending.


Sleep, little baby, sleep."

Monday


8AM





The cafeteria was crowded as students ate and gathered their strength for the tournament. It would begin in just two hours and there was great excitement as the match-ups would be announced at the commencement in two hours.
