Twilight nodded once to the girl. She read Nike's body language, and flicked her hair in irritation. Hasn't he noticed that she was one of them? A super genius, for god's sake. And not even that secret about it. 'I see,' she said, not bothering to hide the slight contempt.

[Derp, which school are you guys roleplaying at? Wind Hill or Oaktree? Or should I just pick one and say we're all enrolled in that one? Flip a coin? Draw from a hat? 'Cause I'm planning to include the name of the school in Avi's debut post.]

(lets just say oaktree)
Cain suddenlly saw five guys walk into the starbucks...one with a broken nose. it was that thug who had attacked Nike earlier. obviously he had gone to get some friends to try to get Cain back for the "talk" they had earlier. the five thugs approached the table. then the one who looked like the real leader of the group spoke. "hey Cain...my friend here said you attacked him earlier. well we just came to repay the favor." Cain looked at the group of thugs. two of them looked scared. obviously they had heard the stories about him. those two will run if i take out the main guy and and the other two thugs. Cain thought. one of the thugs moved behind Twilight. "you better not try anything id hate to hurt your girlfriend here." the thug who was junior named Samuel, Said in a threatening tone.

(who is the guest DERP)
(random add for sexy arab girls... click oh lord... why is this in the ads on this site.)
(i wanted to do wind hill for us and then interduce the other school but we will go with oak tree)
Nike got up and snuck around the to guys in the group suddenly he scilently pulled on of the guys away out the door. He came back in with out the guy. "He gave cain a thumbs up."

((Well, that WAS Estelle...but I don't know what happened to her account :-/))

Cain saw that Nike had taken out one of the thugs. and was more surprised by what had just happened with that girl. who was she. obviously she was a person with powers just like them. Cain thought about talking to Nike about this right now. but knew Twilight was here. "So twilight...was there something else?" Cain asked this even though he had a feeling there was. Twilight had practically the opposite reputation as he did. while she was known as the teacher's pet. people hought that he was a thug who didnt care for school rules. most kids tended to avoid him.

[Aaaand drum roll please! ... No? Okay. That... that's fine too.]


   "Come on, Avianne, take that box."
   Avianne Clarkson did as her father told and picked up one of the smaller cardboard boxes sitting on the driveway of their new residence. She struggled with it for a second, then followed him to the front door, into the unfamiliar house and set it down with the others.
  She flinched at the thud that sounded when her father ungraciously dropped his box on the floor. He didn't notice, brushing past her to help the movers bring in more of their belongings. Avi sighed quietly and went after him.

   She didn't remember this town, but she had been born here. She and her father had left for a fresh start, away from the terrible, crushing weight of the tragedy that had befallen the two of them; though it was more her father's demons than hers. She had been much too young to remember the car accident that killed her mother.

  In any case, she dreaded going to Oaktree High. She was already having a hard time being a freshman at her school in Atlanta, Georgia, and now she had to start over. New scenery, new people... She dug her fingernails into her palms, the sharp feeling dulled by the white leather of the fingerless gloves she wore.
   "Avianne, unclench your fists, and bring in your own belongings," her father chided.
   She nodded, lowering her head and moving forward to follow his instructions.

   That was how it always was - her father guiding her every step. She listened, only ever listened, and did as told. It struck a chord of bitterness... Yet imagining having to take control of her own life, having to make her own decisions and fend for herself... The thought terrified her. Besides, she knew why her father was so protective. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if she died and left him just as her mother had. And she wouldn't want to do that to him.
   She picked up one of the boxes marked "Avianne's Stuff" and shuffled dutifully after Thomas Clarkson, up the driveway to her new house once more.

Nike walked up to cain. "Hey lets get out of here and get you know to come with us. I think its time we go to the OTHER place now." he said refereeing to the warehouse. "I'd rather not have to deal with any more ease droppers and thugs of the likes of them."

((Cat, Avi is officially in a room by herself. Unless, y'know, you want her father to be there or something. Either way works xD))

Cobalt scrambled around the corner of the upstairs hallway of his house, a crash sounding behind him. Dangit, those footsteps were close. Tears were streaming down his face as his cradled his right arm against his chest, trying to ease the pain of the fresh burn that spanned from his inner elbow to halfway down his forearm. The pain of the dark bruises mottling his arms and torso was nothing compared to that of the raw flesh that showed up red and ugly against his pale skin. God, he had to get away from August before something worse happened.

The ravenet slammed his bedroom door behind him and locked it as fast as he could before his father could come around the corner of hallway. One of the only good things about being smaller than August was that he could often get away faster--especially when August wasn't sober. Holding back a sob, Cobalt hurried to the window in his room, struggling to open it with only one hand. Pushing it up far enough, he crawled through the opening and onto the low roof that overhung his backyard. He could hear the pounding of a fist on his door as he closed the window from the outside as quickly as he could. Then without a second thought, Cobalt grabbed the branch of the maple tree that stood next to the roof and used it to swing off the roof. Unfortunately, since he only had the use of one hand, his own weight made him lose his grip and he fell to the ground unceremoniously. Luckily, he didn't land on anything wrong--otherwise he'd be done for.

Picking himself up off the ground, Cobalt took off for the only place he could use as a refuge; the place he had been using to hide from August for years now. There was a special way he used to get to the neighbors house so that no one would ever see him--he had discovered the hole in the hedge wall a long time ago, when he was even smaller. It had been easier to get through then, but luckily, over the years, his constant use of it had caused it to get bigger as he did.

Scrambling through to the other side, Cobalt slinked around the back of the house. Like his house, there was a tree right next to the roof, but this time he used it for the opposite purpose: getting up. Unfortunately, getting up with the use of only one hand was much harder. He had to bite back the pain a few times and use both arms for him to get all the way up to the roof. Finally making it, he collapsed on the shingles for a moment before opening the window to the room that was identical to his in size and shape. Luckily, when the neighbors had moved out years ago, they had forgotten to lock this window. It had saved Cobalt many a time.

However, this time was a little different. When Cobalt slid over the window sill into the room, he realized it was no longer empty. Now there was furniture in it...and boxes.

And then, a girl came through the door.

Crap. In a moment of panic, Cobalt's senses reached out and the fluorescent light bulb made a popping sound. For the second time that day, a light bulb went out and the room went dark.

[I'm considering having her change form... Merp, I may do that later.]

  Avianne didn't have much to do after taking her box of personal belongings to her room. Her father had insisted she take a break after 'all that labour', while he and the moving crew brought in the rest of the furniture. He also insisted on getting her furniture to her room first, before doing anything else.
  "So you can settle in, get comfortable in here," he had said, his hazel eyes earnest as they looked down brightly into her light blue ones. Then his gaze flickered with mixed emotions and he silently picked up her nightstand and took it up the stairs without another word.
  That always happened. Avi had seen the picture of Sarah Anne Clarkson her father had on his desk, had stared at the photo for hours looking carefully for traits she may have inherited. Her mother's dark caramel hair had the same sleek straightness, although Avi's had been dyed black. And Avi wasn't sure, but she might possibly have gotten her small, slightly pointed nose. But the most evident similarity was their silvery blue eyes. Her mother's had a bright, lively look in them, while every time Avianne looked in the mirror she saw a timid, fearful expression, but they were still very much the same. She held onto that as tightly as she held onto the silver necklace left behind by her mother, but whenever she saw the pain in her father's eyes, she wished her eye color was anything else.

  Avianne watched her dad unpack a bunch of boxes in the living room for a while before tiptoeing upstairs to check out her room. She turned right at the top of the flight and hesitantly went to the furthest door to the left. Her dad had left the light on.
  She entered, eyes searching the ground, looking over the boxes and furniture when the light suddenly made a popping sound and fizzled out. She looked up at the ceiling, startled.
  She slowly looked downwards, til her gaze was level. The light coming in through the window was faint, but enough for her to see the outline of... another person.
  Fear-driven adrenaline seized her bones, and she stumbled backwards, intending to leave, but her back pressed against the bedroom door. It closed behind her, and her fingers dug into her gloves. Oh God.

(what happened to axel the bunny rabbit)

(im still here jus got distracted)

Cain got up to leave. after of course waiting for Nike. Cain insisted on traveling seperately. Cain didnt tell Nike why. but he wanted to make sure none of them were being followed. so when Nike left. Cain waited five minutes. then he got up and left the coffee shop.

Cain saw a man attacking somebody. he didnt even hesitate before running in. he hit the guy with a jab to the face. it didnt knock the guy unconscious but it definitely surprised him. Cain then glanced around. nobody was nearby. he wouldnt be able to be seen from the coffee shop. he Focused on the shadows near the man. then Chains made of pure shadow shot from the darkness. they wrapped around the mans hands and legs. Cain then made them pull the man to the ground. the strange man reached for his weapon. a night stick looking thing. but Cain could see the tazer like end of it. he put his foot on the man's hand. stopping him from reaching it. then in one swift move, Cain slammed his elbow into the mans face. the strange man was knocked unconscious and also Cain noted would probably have a concussion. "you okay" he said to the girl who had been attacked. it was the same girl from earlier. the one who had caused those idiots' cloths to fall apart.

"i dont know...maybe it is because your powers rely on manipulating the target. while mine manipulates the shadows. makes them their own physical force. yours attacks the body from the inside...thats what the charm must protect against. my powers attack them physically from the outside." Cain was completely guessing. there was only one person he could think of who would be able to figure this out. Twilight. he would have to bring this to her.

"believe me i have known people were after me for awhile. why do you think nobody knows where i live." Cain never allowed himself to fall into patterns. he switched where he was staying daily. never falling into any sort of predictable pattern that would allow him to be grabbed like this. he had never thought that they would attack anyone else so soon. obviously this guy was more prepared than the last one he had seen. Cain would have to tell the others soon. he couldnt keep this away from them if somebody was going to come after them. "Where is your car?" Cain said picking up the unconscious man.

"go to the abandoned warehouse. ill meet you there. after i make sure that this guy's backup isnt nearby." Cain said this while avoiding the topic of his past. the past was something he avoided talking about. he looked at the unconscious man. then put the handcuffs the guy had been carrying on him, after taking the key of course. Cain saw another man in a suit watching from the shadows. smoking a cigarette. this man Cain did recognize.

"Who is that..." Nike said from a cat walk above. "And what are you doing here..." He jumped down from the cat walk.
