Realistic or Modern West View Highschool for the supernaturals

[Owlmun]

Fade had disappeared off to the cafeteria when the bell had rang, grabbing a snack for Aurora.


He slipped into class a little late but handed the teacher a pass he'd gotten from the lunch lady (she was so nice, he'd thought to himself), slipping the snacks onto Aurora's desk as he passed to take his seat next to the green eyed girl.


He was still in his lupine form so actually sitting in the desk as a bit difficult to do since it would be a while till he could change back, opting for sitting on the floor beside the desk instead. With how massive this form was he sat at the heigh of everyone else who were in their desks from his spot on the floor, taking up most of the isle. Damn those desks built to accommodate a humanoid form. His tail curled up at his side, flicking every so often in thought. He was rather curious what Raven had to say. Even thought she didn't seem to like him he sure liked her. She intrigued him, feeling a dull pull toward her, still wanting to find a way to befriend her.


He looked around for a moment, fussing with the sleeve of his hoodie which was quite a bit tight around his forearm due to size change. He really needed to invest in a form changing outfit that would fit his shifted state. Right now it was just annoying and making his paw go numb but he did his best to ignore it. The bad thing about it was how short the sleeves were at the moment, so the bloody bandages around his arms were clearly visible.


He knew a lot about the history of elves, or at least the arctic elemental elves. Dark elves were something he knew next to nothing about and he was really intent on listening. He valued knowledge over most things, but protecting his friends came first before that and since there was no immediate danger he was fixated on Raven, waiting for her to begin.

Aurora looked back as the teacher called on Raven, and she could feel a spike of anger as Fade focused on her. It hurt a little bit that he would stare at another in seemingly almost the same was he looked at her, but she passed on it bitterly. She sat there for a few more seconds before facing the front and shaking her head vigorously. She should not have been doing that! It was rude and impolite of her. Her cheeks burned as she stared down, placing her ice cold hands on her cheeks. She let out a soft sigh, her fingers finding the edge of the snack he hand brought her so kindly, staring down as frost spread onto her desk and she quickly covered it, shoving her hands in her pockets and keeping her gaze down. The flame's heat did nothing to subdue the frosting desk, and she in fact was feeling confused. Like her heart was having a furious debate between two people, or two objects.

 

[LexiRK]

Mia focused her concentration on making an image appear before her. She'd gotten better at creating images in color over the years, early on she'd only been able to do black. The image showed a magnificent and very tall tree. Little people walked across branches and there seemed to be little homes built up in the tree.


"Elves once lived in the Tree of Life which everyone believed to be the source of all life. A nice thought but it wasn't true, it was only the Elves source of life. Eventually the tree began to die of course..." The image changed to show the tree's leaves wilting and falling off.


"So the elves began dying off, the Spriggans, who had gained dark powers somehow, managed to hang on a bit longer. There's a very small tree that has grown to replace the Tree of Life and there are the last few elves there protecting it. As for Spriggans, the last of them died a very long time ago." She said as a flash of sadness spread across her face. "They were good people, nature lovers, that's all I know" Mia told everyone before the image faded and she returned to her seat in a hurry.

 

[LucianGrey7971]

Lucian's head shot off of his desk at the end of Mia's presentation but he made no noise. Just stared at the people in class for a couple of minutes. Lucian blinked and yawned quietly. He scratched the back of his head lazily and tried to stay awake long enough to see the next presentation, he failed miserably. The person had no idea what he was talking about and he had no interest in listening to misinformation. He could only seem to remember details of his life when the topic was brought up, unfortunately for him no-one ever brought up the topic of old gods, what his oldest memory was too jumbled to make sense out of so he assumed that he was some sort of immortal. Lucian let out a slightly audible yawn before putting his head back on the desk and slowly drifting back to sleep.

 

[Owlmun]

Once Mia finished her presentation Fade seemed to lose interest in what was being said at the front of the class, since most of those following her were the douchebags who had been making fun of him at the beginning of the day. He was sufficiently bored, resting his head on his desk and lazily watching the presentations, mind wandering elsewhere. He was getting some strange thoughts through his head at the moment, ponderings of his boyfriend should would be graduating at the end of this school year and planned on attending college soon after that. If he got accepted into the school he wanted what would that mean for their relationship? Would he be seen as a hinderance with his emotional issues? Would he be seen as not worth the trouble and end up getting dumped?


He barely noticed his brow becoming furrowed or the tears blurring his vision and dripping onto the desk. All he knew was that his mind was in a very dark place and he needed to get out of that classroom for a while. He sat up and hurriedly wiped his eyes, discretely asking the teacher to be excused, giving the teacher that face that all teachers recognise as the "I need to leave immediately" face. He was quickly excused and he picked up his bag, slipping out of the class before anyone noticed, heading straight for the bathrooms again and locked himself in one of the bigger stalls, forgetting to lock the main door. He would stay in there until the end of the school day...

 

[Artorias]

Densin watched Fade walk out, the werewolf looked sad almost. His curious self wanted to check it out. He walked out of the room, without anyone noticing him. Then he walked down the hall following the scent of the wolf. The phoniex was a preditor after all it had a keen sense of smell.


He walked into the bathroom and heard the wolf in one of the larger stalls, he knocked. "Hey bud you doing ok do you wanna talk, you seem unhappy" Densin sat up on the sink counter and waited for an answer, well playing with a flicker of flame he created. @Memios Bonavich

 

[Owlmun]

It took several minute before he finally replied, with a small sniff, clearly having been crying.


"I'm fine... I'm just having some worries about what's going to happen at the end of this school year with a few things..." he said, voice a bit muffled from his now stuffy nose.


As he spoke he had been drawing on his thighs with one of his silver "pens", dully watching the deep crimson "ink" that dripped across his skin, some dripping on the floor.


"I hope he cares about me more than I feel he does. I know he says he loves me and that he'll never leave me unless I want him to, but...sometimes I just go into a very dark place... I feel like I'm more annoying with the bullshit that happens with me... I know he gets angry with me sometimes and every time he does I end up a blubbering mess... I'm always so messy and disorganised and I know he notices because occasionally he'll tease me about how messy I keep my room... I know I can help it and I know he's just playing and trying to get me to get huffy with him. He thinks I'm adorable when I'm irritated. But lately my mind keeps getting darker and darker... He'll be graduating this year... He'll be going away for college soon after... I'm scared of what will happen... He'll find someone better than me, I know... And it breaks my heart... I know I'm a burden to him, he's always taking care of me when I get like this or helping clean up the aftermath... I know eventually he'll get tired of dealing with my messes... I know what will happen... I don't want to think about it, but lately, when he's not here or when he isn't awake, the thoughts come flooding in and it's all I can think about... I hide myself away when it happens because I don't want to burden him with my problems, I don't want to burden anyone with my problems... They're my ball and chain alone to carry... But all I can think about is how it will all end..."


His voice kept cracking and occasionally his little speech was interrupted by violent sobs he tried his best to choke back. His thighs at this point were coated in red, as were his hips, and stomach. Chasing a dragon he just couldn't catch that ran through his veins and lived in his chest. His self mutilation was anything but suicide. Yes it was dangerous but he was only trying to cope with the emotional agony he felt, the cuts he left in his own skin hurt less than the fiery ache in his heart.


He got some toilet paper out of the dispenser and started to carefully dab at the wounds to clear away the blood until they stopped bleeding. Then he cleaned up the mess on the floor before flushing the bloody toilet paper, picking up his bag and stepped out of the stall, going to the sink were Densin sat, washing his bloody hands in the sink beside him and cleaning off his blade.


He pulled out a small case from his bag and opened it. A watertight box filled with rubbing alcohol and at least fifteen razor blades. He placed the blade with the others and sealed it so it could be disinfected, placing the sealed box back in its pocket. He looked in the mirror and sneered at his own reflection, hating how weak he looked to himself. He'd reverted to human form sometime between leaving the classroom and reaching the bathroom so his face was red and splotchy, mostly around his eyes. He splashed some cold water on his face, trying to calm down some more.


"I'm sorry I'm letting all this out to you..." he stated after a minute, using some water to push his hair back.

 

[IceQueen]

Aurora sighed as Fade walked past her and out the door. She pressed her cheek to the desk as frost started to form on her lashes. "Again, I feel lonely." She mumbled to herself, curling up on her desk. Her stomach felt hollow, and she closed her eyes, covering her face. She wanted to leave, and she reminded herself why she distanced herself. If she got afraid, she couldn't control what she did. She needed to leave, so she got up and left, leaving an icy trail behind her as she shut the door. She could hear crying, and a voice that sounded like Mem, and it hurt her to hear things like that. But she turned away, walking down the hall, as the ice followed in her wake.

 

[Artorias]

Densin looked at him with playful eyes. "Ahh that's sad I really don't know what I would do in you're case. Actually I know what I did do last time someone broke my heart. A few memories flashed before his eyes. I committed ritual rebirth and forgot all that and know I'm happy again, and whenever I get sad instead of cutting like you I commit suicide." Densin put his hands on fades shoulders "if you're boyfriend dose leave I'll clean you up and help out best I can. There is no reason for you to keep all this pain to youreself." Densin smiled and looked at the cut fade did pretty well at covering it up but Densin could do better. He hand light on fire with a warm flame he brought it up to the cut and instead of burning it the flame healed it. "Phonies as good at fixing and healing things." With that said Densin went back to sitting on the sink. Trying to remember his past before ritual rebirth with should have completely destroyed those memories, but somehow this Fade guy was bringing them back. He gave up though he could barely remember anything other then doing the ritual.


"We should go to a caffe or something, have a coffe chat in a happier place then this."

[Owlmun]

He seemed to shy away from Densin's touch for a second, not used to having physical contact with most people. At his words he merely gave him a faltering half smile. When he healed one of the cuts that he hadn't been able to hide he didn't seem phased, thanking him quietly, but inside he wanted to bite the phoenix. He put the cuts on his skin for a reason, he needed the pain of them healing to remind him, he didn't want them healed.


"Yeah... Probably would do a lot of good to bring spirits up... Let's go get Aurora, I know she would probably like it too." he said, picking his bag up as he fixed his hoodie to make sure he was covered properly.

 

[Artorias]

Densin smiled and flipped of the sink and over Fade. "Let's go find her then" Densin walked out with Fade to find Aura she was easy to track with the ice trail she left behind.

[IceQueen]

Aurora had traveled out to the garden and sat down under a tree in a curled position. She didn't want to be found, but she probably would, considering there was one little patch covered in snow again. She sighed as she flakes fell onto her hand and never left. 'Maybe you can keep me company." She whispered to the flake.

[Owlmun]

Fade seemed to have push the majority of his depression down, snacking on some cookies from his pockets, how he hid so much food no one would know. As they reached Aurora he kneeled down and licked her face before grinning and handing her a cookie as well.


"Wanna go get coffee with us? You probably need a pick-me-up too. Some nice café time will do us all some good. A little soft music, some tasty things, warm drinks in our bellies, and some time to chill and chatter before buckling down on homework for the evening." he said, gently petting Aurora's hair with a soft purring sound.

 

[IceQueen]

Aurora heard noises coming closer, but she didn't say anything, she didn't move. Only the action of Fade licking her cheek shook her out of this gloom. She looked up, her cheeks tinted slightly red after his saliva got all over her cheek. She could feel his hand patting her head, and she now had a cookie in her hands. She blinked softly before looking up at Densin, then at Fade. "Sure, I guess. I never liked school anyway." She said, taking her hand and rubbing his head softly.


@Marvelous Chester @Memios Bonavich

 

[Owlmun]

Fade happily leaned into her touch, tongue sticking out of his mouth slightly, giving him that adorable puppy face that fit him so well. After she agreed he quickly scooped her up into his arms, hugging her close as he hummed, looking to Densin with a bright grin, seeming quite a bit happier with his person.


"You get to choose the café, birdy." he said, chuckling.

 

[Artorias]

Densin smiled and helped Aura up. "Let's get going then, it's not like this school keeps track of every student they have. You know what do you wanna walk there or fly there it's been a while since I've gotten to fly it would be fun." Densin smiled as his natural body heat raised melting all the ice around him. @Icefox11 @Memios Bonavich

 

[IceQueen]

Aurora looked at him and smiled. "You can you take us, I don't really like walking in public." She explained, Fade still hanging off of her like a puppy. "That is, if you can manage to carry both of us." She said, smiling sheepishly as she looked at him. Sometimes, she just couldn't say no to the little guy, like right now, but some part of her was actually enjoying his warmth.


@Memios Bonavich @Marvelous Chester

 

[Artorias]

Densin smiled he snapped his finger and a flame appered. The flame traced down his markins and covered his body in symbols of fire which spread across his body lighting him on fire. The fire danced on his skin then began to swirl around him creating a mini fire storm the fire storm burst into a colom of light. Then faded only ashes and embers took its place. The ashes laid still for a second before whimsical dancing around fade and Aurora the embers turned to feathers that began to combine with a fiery base. Feathers and embers began to circle Fade and Aura but didn't burn. They just created a beutifull light show of dancing flames, that created huge wings. With one more outward blast of fire the phoniex was there. Densin flapped his wings in show. All of that was in show he could change at any time much less dramatically. He let Aura and Fade on his fire danced around them but didn't burn instead they gave of a healing essence along with a stable warmth. He took of into the sky and flew high but still low enough his passengers could see the world below them. He flew a ways out to one of his favorite Cafes and began to descend. @Icefox11 @Memios Bonavich

 

[LexiRK]

Mia sat back in her seat noticing a few people leaving the classroom. She was done with history anyway, might as well find out what they were doing. She created a clone of her to act in her place and snuck out of the classroom. Mia spotted the group leaving the school. "Cutting classes hm" She smiled slightly. "Maybe some of these kids aren't half bad" She started walking out of the school herself. No use of boring herself in these classes. It was one of those moments where she asked herself why she was even doing this. She'd made a promise a very long time ago to live out her eternity as best she could.


"Still dwelling on the past are we?" A man with black wings like hers stood near the doors. Mia instantly drew up her arm to slightly block her face holding a knife. "Relax, I'm only here to check up on you. Midas's orders" Mia lowered her arm after that but was still wary of him. "Then go, you've seen how I'm doing. There's no reason for you to stay" "You know that's not true Mia. Ever since-" In an instant a knife was stuck in the wall by the dark angel. "Don't you dare say his name" She warned and walked out of the school.


'That idiot Patrick' Mia thought walking quickly down the busy street. 'Never knows when to shut up' She told herself trying to keep her usual strong composure. The tears were already forming in her eyes though.

 

[LucianGrey7971]

Lucian woke again, this time because he had felt a presence that he didn't like near the school. Lucian's looked furrowed his eyebrows and stared straight ahead until he felt the presence vanish. And here I thought this was gonna be fun, he thought to himself before standing up and walking out of class. The teacher didn't stop him, even though he slept through class he had one of the best grades. Lucian didn't really know where to go and started wandering the halls. Just like the parts of his life he could remember, he didn't seem to fit in anywhere...didn't seem to belong. This used to bother him, now it was just an accepted part of his life that he swallowed like a bitter pill. Lucian yawned loudly and scratched the side of his head. .where should I go?" he muttered to himself before randomly collapsing in a hallway and once again fell asleep.

 

[Valkyre]

Kari hadn't gone into school today, she knew her Father would never notice and the school rarely managed to get a hold of him when they tried to moan about her attendance anyway. Instead she leaned against a wall in an empty alleyway, watching people pass by in the streets without giving her a second glance. Sure, she had purple hair but that was rarely enough for a human to get attention. She knew it was probably a bad idea for her to be alone in an alleyway but right now, she didn't particularly care. Everything felt numb today, maybe something happening to her would snap her out of it. Kari sighed and brushed her hair over to one side, everyone but her was in such a rush it seemed. Her general observations were interrupted when she saw one of her classmates, Mia, hurrying down the street. Kari found herself staring, which was rude of her, but the girl looked upset. She should probably mind her own business, upset people rarely wanted to be noticed in her experience... @LexiRK

 

[LexiRK]

Mia stopped by a brick building and put her arm up against it for support. "Damn it Patrick" She said out loud unable to suppress the tears any longer. She fell down to her knees and started crying. Something she never let anyone see because it meant weakness. Certain memories of her past came back to her and she slammed her hand against the wall. She usually managed to hurt herself when she was angry or upset. In this case she cause a cut in the palm of her hand which started bleeding. She didn't care though, it would heal shortly, but the pain felt good to her. She was completely oblivious to the girl watching her from an alley. Of course it was hard to sense someone in particular when there are so many people on the streets.

 

[Valkyre]

Kari bit her lower lip as she watched, she knew she probably shouldn't be watching or listening for that matter. It was none of her business who Patrick was or why Mia was so upset. A part of her couldn't just let her walk away, not now that the girl was bleeding as well as crying. Watching in silence seemed like a worse thing to do though, even if she wasn't spotted spying. With a sigh, Kari left the alleyway and walked over to Mia.


"Are you okay?..." Kari asked quietly, feeling like it was the worst question to ask when things were so obviously not okay but she didn't know what else to say.

 

[LexiRK]

Mia was surprised to hear someone talk to her. She quickly wiped away the tears with her uninjured hand and stood up. "I'm fine" She lied trying to keep her composure. She looked down at her hand which was already starting to heal. She quickly looked over the girl wondering why she would talk to her. Mia wasn't the most friendly and welcoming person in the world. She had to wipe her eyes again while the memories kept flashing through her mind forming new tears. She didn't need to look weak now but she already felt weak, no use in trying to be strong for a bit.

 

[Valkyre]

"Sorry, I didn't want to bother you... I just couldn't stand by when you're hurt" Kira shrugged and averted her gaze slightly. She felt embarrassed and awkward now, she only knew Mia from sight after all. Crying made for terrible first introductions, she knew that. "Oh... My name's Kari, we've never really spoken but I'm one of your classmates" she added as it occurred to her that Mia might not know who she was. She kept to herself mostly so she didn't really expect the girl to know her.
