Cobalt Island (One on One RP~ Readers Welcome!)

Introduction:


Your character(s) had or lived in Lahaina, Maui (Hawaii). Some of you received a scholarship invite to Archer Bay Academy (aka ABA). Archer Bay is a fairly new school but it's academics is the highest throughout Hawaii. Archer Bay is always looking for those with unique skills. It almost seems to good to be true. Some of you may come from a well off family while others barely have a dime into their name. Getting an invite to a high end private school brings up red flags. So, at first you might not consider joining until something at home pushes you in going.

When the characters first enter the school they meet in the assembly room/cafeteria to great one another for the first time. It's one of those systems to get new members of the school feel more welcome and possibly meet new friends who are just as clueless as they are. Once the greeting is over the new students get assigned to their dorm room. Some maybe paired up with a fellow newbie or one who has been at the academy for a long while. The dorms are located at the east wing which is the largest part of the school other than the sportsmanship building. Girls upstairs, boys downstairs.

For the first two weeks everything was going normal. Then things started to feel a bit off. The teachers began to act cold and distant, students slowly start to decrease as time goes on. The characters soon realize that there is something up. Eventually, they start looking into things. As they searched for clues to what is going the characters start to form a group. And this does not go unnoticed.

Terrible accidents began to occur. Objectives falling from out of nowhere, cars nearly running you over or being locked in the cafeteria freezer etc. A couple of months of fighting off attackers and near death experiences things go quiet once again. Just when we think they'll be able to have a break the dean plans their demise.

One afternoon the dean announces that he'll be drawing names of students. The winners will be going on a five month marine research boat trip across the Pacific and Atlantic ocean. He then calls out the names over the intercom to report to the office. Even though it seemed like a great opportunity the scary thing about it all those involved investigating the school were the ones who were called.

Without being able to say good-bye, everyone of the characters were forced to pack their belongings. Board the vessel the very next day. When they thought things would go south immediately they were shocked when just the opposite happens. For a while they learned a lot about marine life and other cool facts. This went on for several weeks when the obvious happens.

One morning the teens woke up to find that they are alone. The teachers, boat crew gone! While the teens searched the entire boat for any clues they come across a note left on the captain's cabin door. The letter was signed by the dean.To sum up the letter it pretty much states: the boat is on auto pilot leading them to their finale destination, Cobalt Island, if anyone attempts to disable it or turn the boat around it'll explode. It also tells then the room that was originally locked is open. There they'll find supplies. Not wanting to chance fate did what the letter told them.

A few days later the island came into view. When the boat crashed onto the shoreline the teens gathered up what they could carry onto the beach. Once everyone was off the boat and some distance away the boat explodes giving them no hope in returning home. Now they most find all means to survive the unknown. Even if it meant fighting those around them.

Background: Silas was born somewhere on a west coast, but the actual location is a mystery. Silas was raised by his father shortly after his mother passed away. They traveled from place to place so several years until his father remarried, when Silas was around ten years old. Things were going well for a few years. Until one day a fire took his father's and step-mother's lives. Silas almost died in that fire, luckily the scars left by the fire are barely noticeable. Since then he's been fearful of flames small or large doesn't matter. Silas then went into foster care. Do to his fighting nature life in each foster home is short lived. Soon Silas turned fourteen a grandfather he never heard of before appears from no where and takes him in. Turns out the guy is his mother's father. Since then Silas lived in Maui, Hawaii learning how to maintain a restore business for he is the soul heir to his grandfather's legacy. All this time Archer Bay Academy has been sending him invites, which he completely ignores. But when his grandfather got a hold of one he forces Silas to accept since ABA is one of the top schools in Hawaii.

Ability(s) and Other Skills: Since birth Silas has been a werewolf, not the ones that walk on their hind legs like human no he turns into your average wolf but one that is slightly larger than a Great Dane. He still has trouble controlling when he transforms but some how he still manages to keep his shape shifting ability a secret all theses years even from his father. Other than that Silas is good at fighting, cooks, does the laundry and also cleans. Oh and he can every sew. He's almost like your everyday house wife but more in a manly way lol.

MagicAndDance Character:
Name: Esttin Cavali
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Race: Caucasian
Skin Color/Tone: Fair skinned.
Hair and Style: Long, straight blonde hair, generally in a high-band or flat
Eyes: Dark Green
Weight and Height: 61.24 kilograms/1.67 metres (135lbs/5'10")
Personality: Esttin is a young woman, she is very bright and sweet. She is also very naïve and gullible, and so she can be lead astray easily, by anyone who means her harm. She is very trusting and doesn't see bad things in others, focusing on the bright side whenever she can. Esttin is also very stubborn, and refuses to give up things that are important to her, such as hope and a constant smile.

Background: Esttin came from a poorer family, but they rose in status because of luck and hard work on her parents side, she was 10 when they joined what was called the middle-class and she learned from their struggles. She remembers staying up, late at night, when her parents used to fight, and staying curled up in her bed, listening. She hates when they fought, and always tried to keep them happy, unmeaningly causing more tense in their relationship. Esstin never understood that their divorce was not her fault, and even when they took the chance to raise in status, she could not forget their arguments. For a few months after her parents had paid for a new house and a car, they didn't fight, and life at home was peaceful. Esstin hoped life would stay that way, but her hope was for a hopeless cause. Her parents divorce when she was 14, and her world seem to shatter and crumble around her. Her Mother moved out of the family's house, and Esttin followed her. She spent the next four years of her life travelling between her Mother and Father house, living with both of them. She did continue to succeed at her school and she continued to hope for a very good life.

Ability(s) and Other Skills: Esstin doesn't have many special skills. She knows how to bandage a few injuries and how to cheer others up. Her true skill lies in her ability to see the good in any situation or person. Esttin has the ability to bend energy to her will. Everything living has energy, and she can pull from that to create two whips, two ropes of energy usable for combat. The amount of energy drained from a person or thing is equal to the energy drained from her, so if she uses the same amount of energy she has in her body she will die. This energy only drains from her and others when it's used to do something. If she's using it as a display of power, it won't drain any energy, because all she does is funnel the existing energy into a large rope and allow others to see it. She is also threatened by emotion, if she has vulnerability when she uses her power, it's possible it can consume her, and it will fight and kill anything around her until everything is dead, or she is dead. The energy shows itself in a colour as she uses it, depending on where she draws it from.

Further Information:
Archer Bay Academy: The school is a few years old, but the building is over 120 years old. Some features are renewed. Like plumbing, fixtures, extensions etc. The school is located in Lahaina, Hawaii. The original bedrooms where turned into dorms. Girls upstairs boys down stairs two per room, dorms are located at the east wing. The sporting area is much larger than the school. The academy sits on his own beach and the front gate hidden by the natural grown forest even finding the path can be difficult.

Cobalt Island: Tropical just like Hawaii, but has no volcanoes. Mostly covered by high top trees that you can find in the amazon jungles. A lot of the animals and plants are similar from both regions but many look like creatures from horror stories and myths. The salt water surrounding the island are invested with sharks. The island isn't listed on any map and yet isn't hidden by any mist/fog. The dean and staff had placed cameras around the island to record events (though they a hard time in doing so because of the locals). Why, no one knows for certain other than those who placed the cameras there.

Islanders: You would think they were would be savage like, like on TV. The islanders have a more modern behavior, just no technology. They are very secretive so aren't very open in helping out those who supposedly are stranded. They attack those who pose a threat but usually they just keep a watchful eye. Yet, just like most humans you have those who don't think but react do to past experiences.

Some Villages on Cobalt Island: Yahtuk is a small village that is surrounded by trees. Most of the homes are craved within the trees then built outward. Yaktuk is known as the old time village for the people there prefer to stick to tradition. The villages raise dogs, and messenger birds. They also great at hunting and basket weaving. For being so small and not having very many people Yahtuk tends to be hardly noticed. Though people from the other villages flock it in the spring/summer months for the views and cool water springs surrounding it. Liore is the largest village on Cobalt, it's also deals mostly with politics, education and handles most of the islands population. Liore is also known for it's bakeries, libraries and fashion sense.

Cobalt Island Creatures:
Prowlers- werewolf like creatures but tailless, short hide legs, long sloth like arms with four inch claws, lastly they have a face of a nearly hairless bear. Most prowlers are grey or dark brown to blend into their surroundings. They spend most of their time prowling hence the name, once they find their prey they won't loose sight of it. Prowlers live in the mountain terrain and or anti-social unless it's breeding season. They normally come out at night for the sun is hard of their eyes, yet they are nearly blind at night so they relay on scent and hearing.

Jinxees- twin tailed fox like creature, they are slightly smaller than a cat. Shy little critters they are but friendly; they live underground or in tree holes close to the ground. Jinxees live in packs size varies from just five to over thirty. Jinxees prefer to come out during daylight but some mostly come out at night. They are usually light brown, white, or cream in color with white and/or black markings. They eat mice, birds, etc.

Raptors- predator birds, wings are bat like, they have razor sharp teeth, size of a full grown turkey, sharp claws on tips of wings and talons. They live in a flock of hundreds, up in the mountains. They hunt in parties or ten or more they are clumsy flyers but fast climbers. They hunt anytime of the day or night and they aren't very smart.

(Other than that the animals on the island are the same animals we see everyday. Such as horses, wolf/husky like dogs, parrots, owls, cows, pigs, chickens, and jungle like animals etc. P.S. I will add more info and/or characters later.)

Replies


As they departed, Esttin overheard a conversation between the other two new students, the larger one, Zane, was attempting at flirting. He wasn’t very good, and the girl, Sophia, was ignoring him. Or at least pretending to. Esttin almost wanted to stay and listen to the conversation, but she figured she should follow Silas and not abandon him. That would be rude. As Silas said they should go she trotted after him, smiling.<br /> <br /> She was happy to get a friend, and followed Silas though the hallways back out to a door. Then he led her to a gate and into the woods, where she lost her cheerful demeanour and grumbled. There were bugs everywhere. She hated bugs. As she trotted along behind Silas she started to feel tired, and bored. Why were they just going in a straight line? Or were they not? Esttin felt lost.<br /> <br /> Esttin could feel the energies of creatures and trees pressing around her. They weren’t like human energies, they didn’t want to be used or freed, they liked where they were, but were content with everything. She could sense the ancient power of the trees, slow moving and powerful, a constant energy supply that could never be used up.<br /> <br /> All of a sudden a man jumped out, she prepared herself to fight, reaching for her ability and for the surrounding energy, but before she had a chance to do anything she felt something wrap around her wrist and pull her. Silas was running and taking her with him. She couldn’t focus enough on the energy around her to do anything, so she just followed, feeling sick to her stomach. This was no good.<br /> <br /> Then, as quickly as he grabbed her, he let go, and fell. He hit his head on something with a sickening thud, and Esttin let out a small scream, before reaching for his energy to be sure he was still alive, and hopefully okay. Then she turned to face the man that they had been running from. She could feel Silas’s energy twisting and turning, though he was hurt, his energy was excited, almost bursting from its prison. It wasn’t evil, but it was mysterious, and hesitantly, Esttin tapped into it.<br /> <br /> She felt the exotic energy rush over her, the thrill of the energy at being released, and the feeling of the weight in her hands. She didn’t hesitate to show him, the man, what he was dealing with. The two vine-like whips appeared, as though out of thin air. They were a bright blue, an icy blue, humming low and loud, glowing, even in the sun. They seemed to radiate power, and twist like snakes, with their own life. Energy didn’t follow the law of gravity, it was alive, of its own being and consciousness. It snaked and swirled through the air, hissing and rolling under its own discretion.<br /> <br /> She frowned at the man and took a step forward, hoping to look as intimidating as possible. She wasn’t very good at looking scary, and all she could do was look angry and hopefully scare him with her ability. She raised her hands, tightening her grip around the handles of her whips, and swinging her left hand in a downward arc, her whip following the motion. She had no intent to hurt the man, just scare him, and her whips followed that pattern, not hitting him, but moving within centimeters of his skin.<br /> <br /> He didn’t react in the way she wanted, he moved forward, pulling out a knife and looking deadly. He certainly wasn’t messing around, and Esttin had to react the same way. She stepped back and swung down the right hand, this time not so shy about where it might hit. She aimed for his chest, bringing the whip down across it, in a loud snap. She felt the energy move in reaction to the hit, pulling from Silas and her, draining both of their energy.<br /> <br /> The man stumbled back, looking surprised. Esttin had enough control over the energy to dictate whether it would bruise or cut, she decided he should be bruised first, as a warning, before she had to actually hurt him. Then, in response to the dangers she posed, he turned, stumbling forward in an attempt to run away from her. He did the same thing Silas did, slipping and tumbling down, hitting his head on some unseen object.<br /> <br /> What is with these people and knocking themselves out?<br /> <br /> Esttin, after he knocked himself out, stood with a confused look and her whips moving around in their circles. She didn’t bother letting them go, not knowing if the man would wake up soon, but she turned to look towards Silas, calling his name and wondering if he was okay.<br /> <br /> “Silas?”
Silas waited for Esttin's reply. She was staring at him like a deer staring at a pair of headlights. He almost was about to wave a hand in front of her face wondering if it'll help snap her out of it. But then all a sudden a grin appeared as if nothing happened. She agreed to go. Silas beamed in delight. Things seem to be going well. He just might ending up making friends with Esttin after all. It's been too long since he actually felt this excited about someone. <br /> <br /> Silas took a peek over at the table where the other two were still sitting. Zane was chatting away, showing signs of being interested in the girl. Sophia was her name. As he talked she sat there turned sideways acting as if she didn't care. Mr. Drake stood watching the two interested where this would lead. Silas could care less. He doesn't typically get involved in other people's affairs unless it's necessary. Silas adjusted his shoulder strap for it started to slip a little. He looked at Esttin one more time making sure she was ready to head out. Seeing the expression on her face told him "let's get going."<br /> <br /> Silas took the lead. He lead Esttin trough the lobby, trough the front doors and to the gate. It was a simple task. Compared to the woods. Silas paused for a moment looking back. Esttin was right at his heels. Silas continued on. Disappearing into the brush. As he lead on he tried his best to stick to an easier path. For Esttin's sake for he doesn't know how well she can hike. <br /> <br /> He avoided steep hills, boulders and bushy areas. He wasn't sure where they were heading but he was enjoying himself all the same. Occasionally Silas would stop and look back hoping Esttin didn't get left behind. Now that it's mid day, the heat could easily start effecting people. He could feel sweat forming on the back of his neck. If he's sweating most likely Esttin is as well. Thanks to his wolf mutations Silas can go on for hours before needing to stop. But in this situation he's taking it easy.<br /> <br /> The humidity was getting worse. Or it was him. He was feeling really hot. Maybe he was loosing control of his wolf blood. Being in the woods calling him. It was taking the last o his will power to stay in control. His body was telling him to run. He loved to run, it made him feel free, and don't have to worry about anything. If he ran that would mean leaving Esttin alone. Alone in the woods without knowing what or who may be lurking. <br /> <br /> Silas kept walking trying to avoid showing his face to Esttin. He bit his lower lip drawing a tiny bit of blood grimacing trying to stay in control. He doesn't quite get where this is coming from. Maybe there was another reason behind it. To why he's feeling this way. As they walked for another ten minutes Silas hardly could take it any longer.<br /> <br /> Just then someone came bursting out from behind a tree. He was dressed in camouflage. What the heck?! Silas was stun for a moment. Is he yet another hit-man hired by his grandfather's family? Silas didn't think too long on it. This guy was here meaning business. He was on the offense ready to attack. Silas wanted to fight but he remembered Esttin's words. She hated violence. If he fought would she hate him too, just like everyone else. Or wouldn't she care since this guy is the one attacking them. <br /> <br /> Quickly, Silas grabbed Esttin's wrist. He started to run pulling Esttin behind him. Of course the attacker followed them. Silas didn't look back. Even when his cheek got scratched by a tree branch it didn't slow him down. Because of this he wasn't paying attention to where his feet landed. Just then Silas felt his feet slip from under him. He released Esttin surprised to what was happening. Next thing he knew the world was spinning all around him. He kept rolling until his head smacked into a tree down below making a loud thunk. <br /> <br /> Silas dazed stumbled onto his feet. He held his aching head. Something hot and sticking gushed through his fingers. He pulled his hand away, still gathering his sensed, stared blankly at it. Blood. His head was bleeding. He stared at his hand for a good few seconds before his eyes hazed over. The last thing he remembered was Esttin shouting his name and him collapsing to the ground once again. But this time he did not get up. <br />
Esttin was surprised when Silas’s energy took a complete turn. It distracted her, and she focused in on it. One second, it seemed amused, gleeful, and content in convincing her to use it, though it didn’t seem as insistent as other people’s energies. Then, all of a sudden, it changed, it become quiet, shy, almost flighty, as though it didn’t like the idea of being near someone that could use it. Its speech changed, from humming to a loud rumbling noise, similar to a growl, but not a threatening noise. This caused Esttin to shake her head, wondering if she was hearing it wrong.<br /> <br /> While she listened to his energy, she was watching Silas, though she was not registering what she was seeing, in fact, she looked almost zombie like, intent on something else. She had shook her head, causing her hair to fall in front of her again, though it didn’t seem as if she had noticed. Her eyes were glazed, a bit distant, with the same type of neutral expression a person gets when they are day dreaming, and not paying attention.<br /> <br /> As though she had been slapped, Esttin refocused on Silas and the real world, giving him her winning smile as he seemed to get excited. At least, his energy did. It changed again, quickly, from not wanting to be moving, to excited, eager to have Esttin use it. It didn’t exactly want to be bent to her command, but it wanted a chance to escape, as all energy does. Esttin, a bit concerned with its dramatic changes, refocused on the real world, wondering if Silas was influencing his energy in some way.<br /> <br /> Sometimes, a strong emotion or feeling can change the way an energy interacts, if a person hates Esttin, generally their energy wants to hurt her, and portrays itself as powerful or strong, willing to use her body for its will. Just as a person who likes Esttin would have an energy that, while it wants to escape, doesn’t want to hurt her. Though the line between escaping and hurting Esttin was always a bit blurred.<br /> <br /> Silas seemed happy, excited, before he spoke. So Esttin assumed he would say yes, and possibly have an idea. As he said his idea, his eagerness betrayed him, and Esttin smiled back, righting herself to focus on the world and not entirely on energies. Sometimes, she would get to caught up in their world that she would do something rude or stupid in the one with people.<br /> <br /> “Sounds good, not a lot of people go into the woods.” she replied, with a short laugh. In the woods, there was a lot of slower moving energies. The trees and plants made perfect springs of energy, they had a lot, but you couldn’t use a lot because it was so slow, barely moving. She didn’t have to fear anything when she used their energy, because it didn’t want to escape, it wasn’t trapped.<br /> <br /> The only thing she had to worry about were the bugs.
At first Esttin smiled liking the idea. She was about to say "yes" at least it sounded like a "yes" but she stopped herself. She was silent for a moment before speaking again. Silas eyes widened surprised to how bold Esttin words were. He blinked and shook his head in order for it to function again. He hoped she wasn't indicating in doing something terrible. Like smoking or... something. He couldn't bring himself to speak.<br /> <br /> Esttin doesn't seem like that kind of girl though. Maybe she was talking about something entirely different. Who knows, boys' minds are usually are far more... geared toward dirtied thoughts than the girls'. As he kept silent Silas tried to focus on something else. Thinking to where they could go. Since the library is out of the question. He didn't know is she wanted to stay within the school building or head outside. Fresh air didn't sound wonderful. Silas was starting to feel sweaty and nervous over this. And he felt like he was suffocating being cooped up. <br /> <br /> Remembering the woods near the entrance of the school would be fun to explore. Climbing trees, finding animals to chase, jumping into a creek and more. Just picturing doing those things made him excited. A huge grin spouted across his face. Not a creepy grin more of a happy calm type of grin.<br /> <br /> "The woods would be fun." Silas told Esttin eagerly. He was getting jittery with excitement. It's either the wolf or the child inside wanting to escape. Either way it was obvious to what he wants to do.
Esttin smiled at Silas when he said his eyes were natural. That was pretty cool. Exotic. She decided that would be a perfect word to describe him, he was strange, a bit rude, and had very interesting eyes. He was perfectly described as exotic. His energy was something she wished she could try to use, but she had promised herself she wouldn’t use a person’s energy unless she had to, and while she longed to, and it’s mystery was it’s way of appealing she wouldn’t, at least, not yet.<br /> <br /> When the teacher started talking again he announced that the tour was cancelled. Well that was great, how they would find anything she didn’t know, but he seemed to think it was an okay idea. Generally, lost, bored teenagers wandering around aimlessly was a horrible idea. But she was more than eager to get out of here, she itched to test the trees, or find the most secluded spot with the least amount of bugs to practice her power in. If she didn’t practice she would lose ability, though getting worse wasn’t her worry.<br /> <br /> If she didn’t keep up a routine of practicing her energy moving, it would grow stronger, not a stronger, more powerful ability, but stronger in its attacks against her. She had to constantly battle it when she used it, so it wouldn’t control her and hurt others, and so it wouldn’t kill her. She twisted her right hand into a fist and grabbed her bag, standing up and looking around, deciding where to go first.<br /> <br /> As she was looking around, Silas returned, and asked her to join him. She was caught off-guard by his gesture of friendship, and she gave him a bright smile in response, almost saying yes before catching herself. She had to find a place to practice, and she certainly couldn’t do that in a library. But, maybe he would be willing to help her find somewhere instead of checking out the library. Esttin loved books, and definitely wanted to check out the library, but no matter her passion for reading, she couldn’t ignore how dangerous her ability was. She could kill someone without meaning to, she could die herself, that wasn’t something to mess around with.<br /> <br /> “I want to, but I have to find somewhere first. If you want to come, I’m sure it’ll be fun, or at least interesting.” She said, happily, as she laughed softly and straightened out her bag, flicking her hair over her shoulder without thinking about it. “If you want, of course. We can find the library afterwards, I love books, but I can’t go there first, I have to find a…” she caught herself before blurting out a long description of why she had to find a not-so-travelled place, “secluded place.” She finished, with an awkward smile and tilt of her head.
Esttin wasn't so different than him. Silas wished he could enjoy videos games but that isn't for him. He prefers to watch since he doesn't do much with technology. Silas shook his head at Esttin's comment on his eyes. He was surprised by her saying she was jealous for having such eyes.<br /> <br /> Since she asked he can at least tell her the truth. "My eyes are naturally like this. It's a mutation caused by another mutation." Oddly he sounded sad when he spoke. He shifted his eyes to the side realizing it. At least he was being honest. Normally he puts on an act to cover up how normally felt. <br /> <br /> Luckily for him Mr. Drake backed away his laptop and stood up. He checked his watch, sitting down again not happy with the result. Even though Silas doesn't use computers of any sort he does you can see the time posted in the corner somewhere. So why check his watch. Unless he trying to buy time.<br /> <br /> "Alright I have decided," Mr. Drake spoke while he clapped his hands together rubbing them as if he were scheming. Silas gave the a weird look. He does seem like the mad scientist type. "I am going to let you four to explore the school grounds for a bit. The tour has been canceled."<br /> <br /> <i>Canceled?</i> If the tour was canceled how will they find their way around without loosing their brains. Silas can find his way soon he catches a scent either of himself or someone he knows. Oh well, a least he gets to walk around now.<br /> <br /> Silas stood up feeling stiff in the legs. He then shoulder his bag walking towards the door. He froze before stepping through. He thought for a few seconds before returning to the table. He looked at Esttin who also seemed eagerly ready to leave. "Want to tag along with me? I was thinking of heading to the library to see what they have."
Esttin gave Silas a surprised look when he said he wasn’t all human, then it faded into confusion and annoyance. He was messing with her. That was just plain rude. She didn’t notice him laugh or look amused when he said it, but she was still offended. She always mentioned something about it, and normally people gave her a weird look and laughed, as though she was joking. He didn’t do that. He was definitely weird.<br /> <br /> Esttin was thinking about leaving, maybe making friends with the other two students. But she knew they wouldn’t be any kinder, and with Silas’s silence, she was beginning to wonder if he was going to go make friends with them. She liked friends, and if Silas made friends with them he would tell them not to be friends with her. Then she would be alone, and Esttin certainly didn’t want to be alone.<br /> <br /> When he talked she smiled again, and felt relief. Maybe he would be her first friend. Hopefully her first of many, she was best in a large group of people, at least socially. She didn’t do so well surrounded by the abundance of energy people brought with them, in fact, she couldn’t be around a lot of people for a very long time, an issue she had because she really enjoyed the company they brought. She watched Silas talk, noting him rubbing the back of his head. Maybe he had a headache?<br /> <br /> “I guess I like to play video games, mostly being alone or around smaller groups, it’s a lot easier to…” she paused in thought, running through a few words to describe how energy felt, “be okay.” She finished, lamely, before replying with a question of her own, “Are your eyes naturally like that or is it contacts?” she hoped he wouldn’t get offended by her question, and quickly continued, “I don’t mean to be rude or anything, they look very cool, I’m actually jealous I wish I had cool eyes like that, haha.” She said, giving Silas and awkward laugh and smile.<br /> <br /> She felt like she was just making it worse, and tried to be quiet, so he wouldn’t think she was absolutely nuts. She couldn’t show Silas her power, which would explain her weirdness, because he would definitely run away screaming. Or he would call the police and she would be arrested. She had never shown anyone her power, she understood that she shouldn’t, so she settled with being a weird, strange girl who had a lot of friends.
After informing Silas that he failed in causing Zane to stay away she said something Silas hoped not to hear. Energy, aura like electric waves. If she started to talk other nonsense he's going to leave. He stared at her with a questionable look. Even though she is tiny she has a lot of confidence in herself. Especially, asking and talking about things people normally keep to themselves.<br /> <br /> "Maybe because I am not completely human." Silas said in all honestly. Avoiding what she said about Zane. "Hence why I don't along just anyone." He added in.<br /> <br /> Silas glanced up at the ceiling stretching his neck. Waiting here was getting annoying. Silas wanted to get up and walk around. Mr. Drake was now messing around on his laptop without anyone noticing him doing so. From the beginning Silas didn't like this guy. Mr. Drake is only thinking of himself it seems. Silas does the same thing just like anyone else but he also consider others around him. Silas almost wanted to yell something at the scrawny teacher deciding it would be best not too in the end. <br /> <br /> Silas took the time to look Esttin over a bit better. She was a nice girl, thoughtful and more willing to accept others. From just talking with her. Normally people don't stay near him this long. That was unless they were forced too. This is why he has taken a liking to Esttin. Not in like-like kind of way. More along the lines of becoming friends with her. That is if she can put up with him. Since it seems they were still not going anywhere Silas decided to talk more.<br /> <br /> "So... what's are some of your favorite hobbies?" Silas asked rubbing the back of his head. He felt a little shy-like all a sudden. Maybe because he's talking more than he's use too.
Esttin frowned at Silas, the strange boy with the strange energy. She couldn’t tell if he was trying to be mysterious, or if she was just overly interested in why his energy was so different than that of other’s she had met. She figured she could ask him about it, he’d probably find her crazy, but she didn’t really care if the weird kid who seemed to want to get in a fight thought she was crazy. She noted that he had almost threatened her, saying she didn’t want to find out why he gave himself a weird nickname.<br /> <br /> “I don’t think if drove him away, so I believe you’ve failed.” She commented, returning his smile, “Why is your energy so strange? It’s almost exotic.” She said, almost as a statement than a question, “Not exotic as in, you come from a different country, but exotic as in weird.” She tacked on, with a curious look. Her smile had faded to curiosity, and she leaned down further into her fingers, putting more weight on her arms and less on her neck. Her back slouched and her shoulders were relaxed. She looked like most teenagers do, except her hair had crept forward again.<br /> <br /> She noticed her hair out of the corner of her eye and glared at it, willing it to return to where it should be so she didn’t have to move. It didn’t work. In fact, it seemed to do the opposite, her hair fell forward, dangling in front of her shoulder, almost mocking her. Her face fell from mildly happy to just annoyed, but it gave her an excuse to not look at the boy she had just asked a very strange question to, so she continued to glare at her hair, for just a bit longer.<br /> <br /> Though she had never dyed her hair, it seemed as though it had highlights and low lights in it, streaks of lighter and darker blondes. She hated how that looked, because everyone wanted to know her ‘real’ hair colour. Her hair was thick, and would sometimes break hair ties as she put them in, but that didn’t bother her. You could do so much with thick hair, there was so much possibility, not that Esttin would be doing anything with it more than a hightail. She disliked the feeling of clips and hairbands, so her hair was generally uneventful, with two styles, no one really expected much from her.<br /> <br /> Once, she had worn it up, and she hated it. It was in a clip, and curled so the rings fell down her back. She had felt pretty that morning, like she had spent all that time on her hair for compliments and she would look amazing. She did receive some compliments, but mostly people didn’t like it, and would tell her so when they saw her, asking why she changed it. This put her off changing her hairstyles, and so she stuck with the hightail when she would be doing some moving, and just down when she would mostly be sitting.<br /> <br /> As she got distracted off her hair, she analyzed Silas’s hair. He also wore his in a tie, though it didn’t seem to want to hang in front of him all the time. He had beads in it making her think of the Native Americans, the way they had longer hair but it was always decorated, and usually in the best ways. He had bangs, not very long. She then looked at his eyes, comparing them. One was blue, and one was gold. It was a very interesting combination, she had definitely never seen anything like it before.<br /> <br /> In fact, Esttin was jealous. Silas had won a genetic lottery, he had cool eyes, awesome hair, and she would even bet he didn’t burn horribly when in the sun. Unlike her. She had bright blonde hair, dark green eyes, and skin that would sooner burn in the sun than tan. In fact, that’s why she didn’t go into the sun more, she didn’t tan, and she would always end up with a horrible burn and feeling miserable for a few days. Of course, he had likely had issues with his eyes a lot, it was strange to see such different colours, and while Esttin thought it was cool, others might not. Maybe that was why he was so confrontational?<br /> <br /> She decided that while this boy was strange, he was downright weird, she liked him. Unless he got into a fight, then she would find someone else to like. She wanted to get in trouble less than she wanted to die, because if she died at least her parents wouldn’t be disappointed. Deciding this, she settled in to wait for his reply, a smile having returned to her face.
The other two introduced themselves after the girl, Esttin finished announcing herself. Silas paid no attention to the other two. For they didn't catch his interest what so ever. Now Esttin seems like a fun one to get to know. Once introductions were finished Mr. Drake gave them time to visit for a bit, checking his watch every so often. Guess they got done earlier than expected. Mr. Drake's face was difficult to read. At first he seems happy, other times he seems annoyed and impatient. Most of the time though Silas couldn't make out how the guy felt. Even he tried sensing the guys emotional instincts Silas couldn't really get a reading.<br /> <br /> Esttin taking the chance told Silas he should fight the jock now known as Zane. For he was much larger in body size and dumb. Silas knew that already. But never stopped him. Yet, hearing it from another person's view made him think on this one. Silas use to when he was younger beat up the first person who talked bad about him. It didn't help being bounced from home to home. It was stressful. And annoying.<br /> <br /> A friendly grin came across Silas' face as he replied. "Don't worry, I only say those things to drive people away. Though there's a fifty-fifty chance my words doing just the opposite. And truthfully, I gave myself that nickname.... it suits me all to well." He began to say calmly. "You'll probably find out why I am called Ookami Akuma eventually. And let's hope you don't." Silas said quietly hoping she didn't him.<br /> <br /> ((<i>Note: Ookami Akuma means Wolf Demon in Japanese.</i>))
